When Will MoP Remix Characters Transfer Over to Retail?

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

      By Starym
      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.

      Weekly Awakened Cache Drops Item Level 250 Gear for Some
      By Stan
      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.

      War Within Pre-Patch Mythic+ DPS, Tank and Healer Log Rankings: Week 2
      By Starym
      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 Will Transfer with a Gear Boost
      By Stan
      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.
