The remix version of the WoW expansion Legion is starting soon. Now we have seen the first rewards – but a fan-favorite is not included.
Some fans of World of Warcraft are not so much looking forward to the expansion Midnight, but to what is coming beforehand: Legion Remix, the return of one of the most popular addons of Blizzard’s MMORPG. So far, little has been known about the upcoming event, but now Blizzard has finally revealed more details – and they make you eager for more.
WoW Legion Remix: Here’s what’s inside
In an initial preview video, Blizzard has already presented the biggest highlights of Legion Remix. This time, there will also be artifact weapons again, but not with the talents from back then – that would simply not be feasible, after all, many of the weapon talents have since become fixed parts of the various specializations.
Instead, you can unlock different paths for your weapon to explore certain magical aspects more deeply. For example, you can charge your artifact weapon with fel magic if you invest in the corresponding “Fel” branch of your weapon. This allows you to have a dreadlord as a pet who fights for you.
As in Pandaria Remix, there will also be bronze again this time. Blizzard has learned from the past and ensured that bronze can only be spent for cosmetic rewards this time around. There is no longer a conflict about whether to spend bronze on character power or fancy rewards.
New is also that Legion Remix follows the patch cycle of Legion, but at a drastically increased speed. New content will appear every 2 weeks, so there is always something new to do.
As with Pandaria Remix, there will be an extremely large number of rewards this time as well. Highlights include fel-infested versions of the class mounts, but also an extremely stylish dress reminiscent of the robes of Queen Azshara. There will also be many new weapon models – for example, Varian’s sword with fel-green corruption, and the infamous scythe from Argus will also receive a fel-green coloring.
One last treat: This time you don’t have to wait until the end of Legion Remix to transfer your character into the live game. You can do that beforehand, whenever you want. However, this is a one-way path – a character that has left Legion Remix cannot return.
When will Legion Remix be released? Although there is no specific date yet, Legion Remix will come with patch 11.2.5. If Blizzard keeps up the current pace, that should be the case in about 6 to 8 weeks, so late September to mid-October. The event will likely be active for at least 8 weeks, possibly longer. More than enough time to earn all the rewards.
Update: Early indications from the PTR suggest that Legion Remix will start on October 8, 2025, and run until early January.
WoW is silent about the Mage Tower – and the fans are angry
What do the fans want? When looking at the comments under the YouTube video of the presentation or in the WoW subreddit, it is clear that at least a vocal part of the player base is wishing for the return of a feature, namely the Mage Tower.
The Mage Tower was a particularly tough challenge for all classes and specializations during Legion, but it rewarded players with exclusive designs for the artifact weapons or, in the case of druids, even a special shape for the guardian specialization.
However, these special templates could only be earned during Legion – not afterwards. This is something that Blizzard has stuck to and emphasized repeatedly: These special designs are a reward for all who mastered the challenge back then and will not be available later.
So far, Blizzard has maintained this decision, but there are numerous loud voices calling for a departure from this view, as seen in the YouTube video comments:
- “If you have heard the players’ feedback, please bring some recolors of the Mage Tower sets.” – TheAtomicDon
- “No mention of the Mage Tower. A big L.” – rebewnevets
- “They didn’t even mention the words ‘Mage Tower’.” – justindeede
- “Please Blizzard, if you see the feedback, then give us the Mage Tower artifacts.” – weslley7069
What do you think about the Mage Tower and the rewards that could be obtained there? Should they become available a second time, breaking Blizzard’s previous promise? Or is it good that some things cannot be obtained anymore?
