WoW: Legion Remix is Live Now

Fellow World of Warcraft players, it’s time to get in the mix – the Legion Remix, that is. The World of Warcraft: Legion Remix event is live now and will remain playable until January 19th, 2026. Now that Legion Remix is available and we have a lot more concrete details about it, I’ve prepared a rundown of what you can expect if you participate in Legion Remix. I’ve mentioned some of these details in past articles before Legion Remix went live, but I’ll go through all that stuff again here just to keep everything together. Let’s dive in!

To play Legion Remix, you’ll create special characters (called “Timerunners”) that are separate from any existing “retail WoW” characters on your account. You’ll see an hourglass icon on the character selection screen next to Timerunning characters you create to help you keep track of which characters are Timerunners and which aren’t. All race and class combinations that exist in The War Within (even unlockable Allied Races) are playable in Legion Remix, with the exception of the Evoker hero class. However, you can still play Dracthyr characters in Legion Remix since they now have access to more than just the Evoker class.

In Legion Remix, our Timerunning characters will work alongside the Infinite Dragonflight to help them study and learn from the timeline of events that transpired during the Legion expansion. In exchange for our help, the Infinite Dragonflight has shared some of their power with us. The boon from the Infinite Dragonflight allows our characters to quickly and easily become absurdly overpowered and gain amounts of each available stat that vastly exceed their normal limits. These boosted stats include how fast our characters gain experience and level up from the starting point of level 10 to the maximum level of 80.

Since the Infinite Dragonflight has power over the sands of time and each possible individual timeline, they’ll use their powers to help us out in additional ways. In the Legion Remix starting quest line, you’ll help Momentus pull all your current class Artifact Weapons from a different timeline so you can use them and empower them in Legion Remix. You’ll also unlock the ability to use flying mounts with Steady Flight and Skyriding during the introductory quest chain. You’ll be granted the option to skip this quest chain on any Timerunning alts after finishing it on at least one character.

If you’ve never done the Skyriding tutorial at any point in retail WoW — including back in Dragonflight when it was called Dragonriding — you’ll be forced to complete it once in Legion Remix before you can use Skyriding or Steady Flight. If you have done it at least once before, regardless of whether it was during Dragonflight or The War Within, you can skip it in Legion Remix. You can convert a Timerunning character into a normal “retail WoW” character at any time, but this is strictly a one-way process. You cannot, however, convert existing WoW characters into Timerunners.

When Legion Remix ends, all Timerunning characters you’ve created will automatically be converted into “regular” WoW characters with their levels intact. At that point, all characters on your account (whether they were originally Timerunners or not) will have permanent access to the cosmetic goodies like mounts, toys, and transmog sets that you acquired during Legion Remix. You can easily purchase all those cosmetics with an event-specific currency called Bronze. This includes things like gear sets and mounts that were difficult and/or time-consuming to get when Legion was current. Infinite Dragonflight vendors will gladly sell you these things in exchange for Bronze.

You can acquire Bronze from just about every possible source in Legion Remix, from killing enemies to completing quests to participating in high-level Mythic+ dungeons and raids. You can get gear upgrades from every possible source as well. Unlike last year’s Mists of Pandaria Remix, you’ll no longer have to spend Bronze to upgrade your characters’ gear; instead, Bronze is spent only on those cosmetic goodies I mentioned. There’s a per-character cap of 500,000 Bronze. You can freely transfer Bronze among all Timerunning characters on your account via the Warband system, but you cannot trade Bronze to other players.

If you played when Legion was current, you might remember that each class Order Hall occasionally required us to complete missions that took increasing amounts of real time to finish. That’s not the case in Legion Remix: the Infinite Dragonflight will use their control over time to let us skip all that waiting. This is also true for Order Hall quests that require the use of gathering/crafting professions, since all professions are unavailable in Legion Remix. That being said, however, you will be able to track and gather herbs and mining nodes while in Legion zones.

You will not receive any metal, stones, herbs, or character experience from gathering these nodes, but you will receive Bronze and potentially more temporary and/or permanent character buffs. That might be a bit confusing; just think of herbs and mining nodes as additional quest rewards if that helps you make sense of it. Timerunners can only leave Legion zones while on quests that require us to do so. Even then, if you stray too far from that quest’s area, you’ll be forcibly teleported back to Broken Isles Dalaran. You’ll be given a generous amount of warning before that happens, however.

In Legion Remix, every Artifact Weapon has access to the same perks you can acquire by spending the Remix equivalent of Artifact Power. Every Artifact Weapon has access to the same five trees of upgrades, and players can freely swap out their chosen perks at any time. Items that used to give you Artifact Power when Legion was current are now junk items that can be sold to vendors for decent amounts of gold. On the subject of selling things to vendors, that may seem pointless at first because you’ll have very few uses for money in Legion Remix.

Transmogrification services are free of charge, and items don’t take durability damage, so you won’t have to pay to get your gear repaired. Players are also unable to use the Auction House, so we can neither earn nor spend gold that way. You can’t sell unwanted gear to vendors for money, but you can scrap those items to turn them into Bronze. You can scrap items either by visiting the Infinite Bazaar in Dalaran or by using the Unraveling Sands ability, which lets you scrap items at any time from anywhere else in the Legion Remix world.

The more you accomplish in Legion Remix, the more powerful your characters will become. You’ll occasionally receive items that both increase your current Timerunner’s power and copy their permanent buffs (including accelerated experience gain) to all your other Timerunning characters. Thus, the more you accomplish on your main Timerunner, the more powerful all your Timerunning alts will be as soon as you start playing them. This can really come in handy if you want to try out the Heroic World Tier, which makes all of Legion Remix both much more challenging and rewarding. You can switch to and from the Heroic World Tier at will.

New content is being added to Legion Remix in phases that will be released every two weeks. This will conclude with the final patch of Legion, which also includes its final raid. Even after the last phase is live, you’ll still have over a month to play Legion Remix and engage in as much of its content as many times as you desire. You can’t purchase cosmetics from any future phase before said phase releases, but you can at least see ahead of time how much Bronze each item from that phase will cost.

Even with all that stuff being said, there are still a few things I didn’t mention here because I didn’t want to get bogged down in details. However, I’ll conclude by pointing you to some excellent resources that will cover any gaps in the information I’ve discussed here and help you make the most of your Legion Remix experience. Namely, Wowhead has Remix-specific guides for each class and specialization, complete with just about all the information you could need to become as powerful as possible. I hope you’ll join me on the remixed Broken Isles!
