wow When Will MoP Remix Characters Transfer Over to Retail?

[Stan 5,239]

MoP Remix characters will transfer over to retail, and in our latest post, we speculate on when that might happen to give you an estimated time frame.

Although Blizzard hasn't given any official dates, we know that MoP Remix ends on August 19, 2024. The War Within Early Access begins on August 22, 2024, so MoP Remix characters will likely need to be ready to play by then.

If we're talking dates, all Timerunners (MoP Remix chars) should be converted to standard retail characters between August 19 and August 22!

As you might know, MoP Remix will overlap with the XP nerfs introduced by the War Within pre-patch, expected to launch on July 22, 2024. This makes it an ideal time to level up your alt army in under two hours.

With rested xp and heirlooms I went from 60 to 65 in like 2 hours. Was psweet. I think it'll be 1 hour 60 to 70 once the xp nerfs drop.

If this is the case, why weren't you able to copy characters (ie <70) from retail to MOP Mix to level them. Rather than create a new character? This is the main reason, for me, I didn't find the Mix appealing. To have a character I create gone after a certain time (before this post came out). Also, that I couldn't use any current characters to level them through there. As an analogy, it was like laying concrete only to rip it out after it had dried out (as I said before this current post).

Wait, what do you mean with "To have a character I create gone after a certain time"? It was known since day 1 of the Remix that the characters would transfer to retail after the event, and has been named many times already in many articles. If you just found out then I'm sorry, but I personally think that's on you. If I'm not mistaken it even tells you in the game itself.

The reason why you couldn't copy characters is because the event is a thing on it's own. That means no gold, gear, experience or anything like that. Wouldn't be much fun to copy a lvl 65 straight into the event on day 1. And if you mean that the copy would get completely reset for it: isn't that pretty much the same thing as creating a new character? I'm a little bit confused why this is a problem.

The character isn't going to be "gone after a certain time", quite the opposite, they promised we get to keep it for Live - and the article here is about when that cutover is expected.

As for "my mains can't send them heirlooms" I assure you the Threads spew enough XP% buffs you wouldn't miss them.   I ended up at +141% xp without being sure which threads were even from where.   I've had the real world stealing my time and I STILL have a handful of characters leveled past the point where heirlooms upgrading felt a waste of my character's gold.

The real question I still have is something I don't think IcyVeins knows yet;  what exactly are we getting for the gear crossover?   Because the gem sockets and tinkers in Remix are delightfully weird.

To me it felt a bit more like a chance to cross train hunters with a mage's Blink, etc.  And this is swappable, because the gems freely pop out and in like charm bracelets in junior hi.

I wouldn't be surprised if you get the same gear as a boosted character, or simply the retail version of the stuff you were wearing (like timewalking gear). I wouldn't worry too much about it. In a weird freaky way I always enjoy the start of an expansion where you are full with these epic and legendary items from the last expac, just to be switched out for greens and blues in the new expac since they have way higher stats.

So don't worry: whatever gear you end up before the next expansion, chances are very high you'll replace it all in the first week.

This part right here is why I'm pretty fine with it if my Remix toons only hit 50 or 60-ish.

People who've scorched a hole in their lives trying to max out their gear on remix are being shown an iLvl of 476.   My third-down main on Live has better than this already.   

But it's a great way to beat the heat of going lvl 10-55, maybe 60, because a few hours here or there is cheaper and more fun than a boost, and the mogs, toys, mounts are ours to keep.

I almost upgraded my gear to max level for bronze farming, not for the equip I will get in the pre-patch

OK, fair.
