Reaching Item Level 556 Sub-Optimally in MoP Remix

Recommended Posts

A player who didn't use any hyperfarms or other shorcuts talks about how long it took to reach max item level (556) in MoP Remix!

Blubbpaule shared their experience with MoP Remix. Instead of following all the leveling tips and best Bronze farms, they decided to enjoy the event regularly and still reached item level 556.

They accumulated 124,173 threads throughout their journey without using any hyperspawn farms or the HoF farm. They did it all through questing and raids, playing through all campaigns, and completing all achievements (except for the reputation ones).

Blubbpaule completed Mogu'shan Vaults, Terrace, and HoF every day. Their daily routine involved completing the 4 dungeon/scenario randoms, all world bosses, Troves of the Thunder King, and the 3 raids.

This journey took 19 days, averaging 5 1/2 hours per day, with 104 hours of /played time. They also mentioned that they spent all their available Bronze exclusively on upgrades.

The OP also noted that it's impossible for players who only have 1 hour to play daily to reach the maximum item level with the event's current Bronze rates if they play sub-optimally.

I reached ilvl556 in Remix playing suboptimally. Here is how long it took.

Sounds about right, my 556 mage is 110 hours played. Also didn't farm any hyperspawns since just killing 4-5 bufo rares and a few frogs got my main DK a 40% cloak nerf despite not being a 4+4 farmer. Too paranoid to kill anything that even features on wowhead as a good farm to avoid being in the nerf crosshairs.

I did this too but only thing I consistently did daily was the daily queues not the raids. I hit 556 over the weekend but IDK how this dude got 120k threads. That's like 2 times what I have I think.

Edit: Also, IDK how you're approaching bronze spending but being maxed gear is fun as all get out lol. I just run around and mobs hit me, proc lightning shield, and die before I even cast a spell. Everything I fight just melts lol. It's really a blast.

I finally reached 576 ilevel as well. Whenever something was marked as an 'farming location' I avoided that spot on purpose since it felt like 'cheating the system' to me personally.  Ironically enough the people on my Discord/guild who complained last week that it takes way too long and too much bronze to reach max responded to this news that this is way too quick to reach max gear with 70 days left.

I like it. I now have max gear and all the gems I want. As a result you get insta-invited to every heroic pug and it only takes about 60-90 minutes to clear all of them, with every boss going down in a few seconds. That's 40-50k bronze a day I believe and it all goes straight to cosmetics and unlockables now. Seeing that even the most expensive stuff will take me about 2 days  I think I'm in a comfortable spot to start unlocking everything that looks interesting.

Yeah i would definitely recommend upgrading to max if you're going to play the event for most of the duration.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
