Before we get started on the event, it is important to point out that Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the release date for World of Warcraft Classic: Cataclysm. The pre-expansion patch event will begin on April 30, 2024, and the full game will launch on May 20, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. PDT.

To participate in the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, you will need a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time. That's right—you don't need to purchase any expansion to experience this event. That means World of Warcraft Classic players can join the festivities by installing the client for the regular edition of World of Warcraft.

Players with World of Warcraft Trial Accounts can join the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event without a subscription or Game Time until Lv. 20. At that point, players must buy a subscription or Game Time to continue playing beyond Lv. 20.

To join the event, players can create a WoW Remix character, starting at Lv. 10 on the Character Selection screen upon logging in. WoW Remix characters are marked with an icon next to their name to help identify them among a player's alternate characters. Note that additional character slots will be made available for your WoW Remix characters.

Once a WoW Remix character is created, their journey begins in the Timeless Isle. There, the player will meet Eternus of the Infinite Dragonflight, who will guide them to the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event proper.

Once the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event is over, a Wow Remix character will be converted back into a normal player character. This means that after they're fully leveled and geared up, you can continue playing as them in the upcoming PC title, World of Warcraft: The War Within.

Do note that the Auction House will be unavailable while participating in the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event.

As stated before, WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria will allow you to create new characters and challenge every quest, storyline scenario, dungeon, and raid of the expansion to level up from Lv. 10 to Lv. 70 in a flash.

Here is a chart detailing how the leveling experience during this event will function:

During the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, all the loot you obtain from quests, chests, enemies, bosses, raids, dungeons, and more will be significantly different and more powerful than the ones found in the regular Mists of Pandaria expansion.

Some pieces of gear even feature gem slots, allowing players to insert unique new gems that upgrade their passive or active abilities and even give them permanent stat boosts.

In addition, if you complete specific achievements exclusive to the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event, you will earn transmog items, previously unreleased color variants of older mounts, and more goodies. Once the event is over, the achievements will convert into Feats of Strength.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria will introduce a new form of currency called Bronze, which players can use to purchase transmog items, Mists of Pandaria mounts, toys, and more. Players must head to a bazaar of any zone and any piece of gear they find in the currency above to get Bronze. 

This function will allow players to take any lousy loot they find and trade them in to purchase items for their account collection that were previously unable to acquire or extremely difficult to find as random drops.

A cataclysmic 'pandamonium' awaits for World of Warcraft

Things have certainly heated up for World of Warcraft recently. Not only has the long-running MMORPG recently grown in popularity with over 7 million subscribers playing, but World of Warcraft has introduced a Battle Royale-style game mode called Plunderstorm in a recent update that is still active.

With this new WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event on the horizon, as well as World of Warcraft Classic: Cataclysm coming soon next month, Spring is looking to be a fun season for one of Blizzard Entertainment's best PC games, especially for those who grew up playing the Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria expansions back in the day.
