“The infinite dragonflight is investigating the history of Pandaria. Replay the Mists of Pandaria expansion with new seasonal abilities and rewards!”

— Calendar description

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria (previously referred to as Pandamonium during development) is a PvE-focused seasonal event starting on 16 May 2024 at 10:00 AM PDT globally, a week after the launch of patch 10.2.7. It lasts until 19 August.

The news article announcing the feature describes it as follows:

World of Warcraft Remix is a time-limited event which allows players to re-experience the entirety of the Mists of Pandaria expansion at an accelerated rate from level 10 through 70. All loot has been completely overhauled and has powerful new effects allowing players to shape their experience, power up, and power on.

Much like Plunderstorm, Pandaria Remix is available to all players with an active subscription or game time. No expansion purchase is required. Additionally, players on WoW Trial accounts will also be able to take part without a subscription or game time, up to level 20.

Players will make Timerunner characters on existing Dragonflight realms at character select like they would make normal characters, and while those Timerunner characters will be locked to Pandaria for the duration of the event and cannot party with non-Timerunner characters, they can join existing guilds already on the realms or create new guilds by speaking with Hanchoon Yi at Paw'don Village or Honeydew Village. After the event ends, Timerunner characters will convert into standard characters and will be on character select as normal. All races and classes in Dragonflight can take part in the event, but the one-evoker-per-realm limit applies regardless.

Features

Accelerated Leveling and Content allowing you to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon and raid.
Create a new WoW Remix character starting at level 10 to adventure through the event up to level 70.
A mountain of loot: Get powerful items from everywhere— quests, chests, creatures, bosses.
Customizable items allowing you to power up as far as you can go to take on tougher content.
Convert unwanted items into [Bronze] which can be used to upgrade items or purchase cosmetics.
Keep what you collect: Take your collection of transmogs with you into The War Within.

Levels

Unlike the original version of Mists of Pandaria, which was designed for characters leveling from 85 to 90, or the current post-level-squish version which is for levels 10-35, the remix runs from levels 10–70.

Efficient leveling

From levels 10 to 60, questing is the best source of XP. At level 60, questing stops granting as much XP, so spam LFR ( [Guardians of Mogu'shan]) and keep questing for [Cache of Infinite Treasure] rolls while in the queue. Do not start leveling alts until maxing out the cloak for extra XP gain.

Bronze

The Infinite Bazaar at Halfhill Market

[Bronze] is the currency of the event and is widely accessible, as it drops from enemies, is awarded from completing quests or achievements, and players can scrap unwanted gear into Bronze. Vendors at Infinite Bazaars across Pandaria will trade Bronze for consumables, mounts, and armor and weapon appearances. Bazaars also have a transmogrifier, item upgrader, and Rostrum of Transformation.

Itemization

[Unraveling Sands] to scrap unwanted items into

[Bronze]

While leveling, players will frequently come across Remix-specific weapons and armor either directly as drops or from [Cache of Infinite Treasure] quest rewards. These items can be upgraded at item upgraders using [Bronze] from ilvl 13 to 556, or will directly drop at higher item levels. Scrap unwanted (or outleveled) items using the [Unraveling Sands] for more Bronze, as they cannot be sold to vendors.

With some exceptions, every source of loot will drop everything that can be obtained in Remix, and the harder-to-kill enemies will have a higher chance to drop better loot. The exceptions will mostly be zone-based appearances. For example, Remix loot that drops in Throne of Thunder will have the look of ToT raid gear, and outdoor world loot will not.

Accessories (necklaces, rings, and trinkets) are only rewards from meta-achievements. These achievements are not account-wide, so they can be reobtained on alts:

Pandaria Remix accessories
Achievement	Item	Slot
[Pandaria Raids]	[Timerunner's Amulet]	Neck
[Heroic: Pandaria Dungeons]	[Timerunner's Seal]	Ring
[Heroic: Pandaria Scenarios]	[Timerunner's Ring]	Ring
[Escalation]	[Timerunner's Beacon]	Trinket
[Timerunner]	[Timerunner's Idol]	Trinket

Beyond that, players acquire the artifact-level [Cloak of Infinite Potential] five quests in, which gains permanent power increases as they adventure in Pandaria by looting various threads of time like the [Thread of Haste]. Power earned on the strongest character is shared with newly-created alts to make leveling even faster. Timerunner characters who reach level 70 will unlock Wrathion's legendary cloak appearances, toys to display their wing effects, and enable access to Ordos on the Timeless Isle account-wide.

Ability gems

Many new customizable items can be found and each item slot has their own unique identity with ability gem sockets. These sockets come with exciting turbo-charged new effects similar to trinkets. Additionally, each time an item is looted, it has a chance of rolling powerful upgrades that unlock increased permanent stats.

Gems can be found in a [Cache of Infinite Treasure], drop directly from mobs, or can be purchased in exchange for 200–500 [Bronze] from Lidamorrutu at Infinite Bazaars. Gems can be equipped like normal by shift-right-clicking on gear with slots, and can be removed by using the [Extract Gem] ability learned automatically after looting a gem. Leveling gear has specified gem sockets, as shown in the table.

By level 60, players should have all non-prismatic gems drop, so there is no need to spend Bronze to purchase them.

Meta gems

Meta gems provide throughput abilities and slot into helms. An [Asynchronized Meta Gem] will randomly create an unlearned gem.

Cogwheel gems

Cogwheel gems provide movement abilities and slot into foot armor. An [Asynchronized Cogwheel Gem] will randomly create an unlearned gem.

Tinker gems

Tinker gems provide passive utility abilities and slot into shoulders, wrists, hands, and waists. An [Asynchronized Tinker Gem] will randomly create an unlearned gem.

Prismatic gems

Prismatic gems provide stats and slot into chests and legs. They can be combined to create a more powerful version from chipped to flawed to standard to perfect. An [Asynchronized Prismatic Gem] will randomly create a chipped gem.

Collectibles

Many new or previously unobtainable mounts, pets, toys, and cosmetics are available. Additionally, items that are available in Dragonflight today with a low drop rate (like world boss mounts) can be purchased by Remix characters using [Bronze]. The sections below list only new collectibles, and Bronze purchases of old mounts are listed on the Hemet Nesingwary XVII article.

Mounts

Mounts are sold by Hemet Nesingwary XVII or are achievement rewards, and Pandaria Remix-exclusive mounts cost 2,200–6,600 Bronze, while rare Retail mounts cost 18,700–50,000 Bronze.

Pets and toys

New pets and toys are achievement rewards. Old toys are sold by Horos at Infinite Bazaars for 2,200–50,000 Bronze.

Appearances

World, dungeon, and raid appearances are sold by Larah Treebender, Arturos, Aeonicus, Durus, and Pythagorus, respectively in increasing order of difficulty, and are listed on their respective articles.

Class arsenals and ensembles are rewarded from [Isle of Thunder] and [Landfall], respectively. After earning those achievements, other class sets can be purchased from Grandmaster Jakkus at Infinite Bazaars for 3,000 and 4,000 [Bronze].

Quests

Newly-created characters spawn at level 10 in a bubble on the Timeless Isle, where Eternus starts a questline to anchor players and give them their [Cloak of Infinite Potential] before sending them off to start the Jade Forest storyline. Alts of timerunners who have completed the intro can speak with Eternus to skip ahead to [10-70] Recalling the War.

Nearly all quests are available in Pandaria Remix, which require the levels shown in the Levels section above:

Achievements

Most Pandaria Remix content has associated achievements that are awarded for completing said content. Achievements reward various levels of Bronze Caches or, from the meta achievements, actual rewards. These achievements are classified as Feats of Strength and award no achievement points. Earning many of these achievements will also earn their equivalent Retail achievements, which do award achievement points. For example, the quest chains necessary for [Campaign: The Jade Forest] are the same as for [Upjade Complete].
