[Stan 5,238]

Discover everything you need to know about the War Within pre-patch event, Radiant Echoes. Learn about the activities you can participate in, the rewards up for grabs, and the expected release date for the live servers.

When Will the War Within Pre-Patch Event Start?

MoP Remix ends on August 19 so we expect the War Within pre-patch to hit live servers alongside this event on August 20, 2024.

Radiant Echoes Across Azeroth

Periodically, Azeroth's memories will bubble up in the Dustwallow March, Searing Gorge, and Dragonblight. Here, players must kill mobs to summon an echo of a powerful villain from the past.

The Radiant Echo culminates in defeating Remembered Onyxia in Dustwallow Marsh, Remembered Firelord in Searing Gorge, and Remembered Lich King in Dragonblight.

Based on datamining, we are more than certain that the event will be basically the same as the Worldsoul Memory Events in Khaz Algar.

Mounts

Two mounts can be purchased during the event:

Remembered Golden Gryphon

They love eagles in Stormwind and the gryphon is half eagle. This is why these creatures are a stable to air travel throughout the alliance.

Remembered Wind Rider

Hundreds of battles across a dozen campaigns have been fought and won on the backs of these honored creatures.

Heirloom Ring

Players must combine three essences (Essence of the Eastern Kingdoms, Essence of Northrend, Essence of Kalimdor) from the event's "bosses" and a Lifeless Stone Ring to create a new Heirloom Ring called Band of Radiant Echoes.

Lifeless Stone Ring can be purchased from the pre-patch event gear vendor in Dalaran.

Each essence requires combining 20 memories (e.g. Memory of Kalimdor) that drop from mobs during the event. These are Warbound and shared across all characters on your account.
