wow The War Within Pre-Patch Event: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

[Stan 5,238]

We went to test out the War Within pre-expansion event that will be available in July, so you don't have to. Find out more about the limited-time event that you'll be completing for a month leading to the expansion's launch!

It all starts with a quest that automatically appears when the pre-patch goes live. Chances are you already own the Dalaran Hearthstone toy, so now would be a good time to use it.

When you go to the Dalaran chamber room, there are portals to the three locations where the pre-patch event takes place -- Searing Gorge, Dustwallow Marsh, and Dragonblight, all conveniently accessible with just one click.

When you look at the world map, you will see which zone currently has a Radiant Echo active, so you will know which portal to take.

You will be pleased to learn there are also portals back to Dalaran in all three locations!

The chamber room also contains the NPC which sells rewards for Residual Memories. The catch-up gear is item level 480 Veteran gear, instead of the 496 Champion gear we reported earlier.

As you can see the gear is marked as "Binds to Warband until equipped" which means you can send it over to any member of your Warband and it becomes soulbound when you equip it.

Once you reach the location where the Radiant Echoes event is currently active, you will receive a daily quest to defeat a Remembered version of Ragnaros, Lich King, or Onyxia for 1,500 Residual Memories.

The quest giver sells the same items as Remembrancer Amuul.

When you're in the zone, there will be Lingering Memories marked with a star icon on the map. However on the Beta, they did not spawn and there was no way to make them spawn, so we assume the event is currently bugged.

When you reach one of the locations where Lingering Memories are supposed to spawn, you will notice spectral level 69 mobs that you can kill for Residual Memories. 

You will automatically receive the currency when you defeat these mobs.

Here is the location where Remembered Ragnaros is supposed to spawn after you defeat the Lingering Memories, but nothing spawned there because the event is bugged.

After you defeat the boss, the event is over for you until it is active in another zone. Due to the fact that it's not working properly on the Beta, we can't confirm whether you can complete 3 daily quests for 4,500 Residual Memories every day.

Even though the event does not fully work on Beta, this post should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect!

I wonder if that's a side effect of the new "bind to warband" system and it's now showing ALL the gear instead of just the things your class can equip, as the default.

head, shoulder,chest,wrist,hand,belt,pant,shoe - then x4 for reach armor type, then x2-4 for differing secondaries.
ring, neck, trinket x2-4 for each secondary.
staff, sword, dagger, mace, 2h mace, 2h axe, polearm, warglaive (and possibly more) - x2-4 for secondaries
trinkets - as many as they want
pets, mounts, tabard, toys, reputation items

I mean 7 pages is easy really.
