When do you'll make Legion raids soloable?....this is outrageous. I mean, we do lvl 60 and we are weaker than at 50....

 

I dunno about scaling since i haven't tried it on 60 yet, but in BFA and even after 9.0 prepatch, Legion raids were already soloable.

      Skyriding Glyphs are back in the War Within expansion, but this time, they're not mandatory.
      In the latest War Within Alpha build, Blizzard added new achievements for Skyriding Glyphs or Dragonriding Glyphs as we know them right now. In War Within, they've received a brand new model.
      In the latest War Within Alpha build, Blizzard has introduced new achievements for Skyriding Glyphs, also known as Dragonriding Glyphs. Skyriding Glyphs received a brand new model for the War Within expansion.

      The new meta-achievement, Khaz Algar Glyph Hunter, grants achievement points but currently offers no additional rewards in the Alpha version. Skyriding now uses a system called Skyriding Proficiency, which players gain as they level up.
      Although the exact number of Skyriding Proficiency points earned during leveling remains unknown due to the Alpha's Level 70 character templates, it's clear that the Skyriding Skill Track will be account-wide. This means once a character unlocks all the skills, your alternate characters will automatically have them, saving you the hassle of re-learning them.
      On the skill track's right side, two choice-nodes are available: one toggles the Ride Along feature, and the other lets you choose between Whirling Surge and Lightning Rush.

      The Theater Troupe is a new outdoor event available in the War Within expansion. Find out more about its objectives and rewards!
      Disclaimer
      The event will be up once an hour in the live game. Its cadence is sped up for testing purposes on the Alpha.
      Theater Troupe
      This event takes place in the giant amphitheatre at the Isle of Dorn. At the beginning you must talk to Stage Manager Huberta to begin the event.

      You will be tasked to clean up some mess before the show begins. The objectives will be different every time you complete the event.

      Completing objectives during the various acts rewards Audience Approval. Similar to Superblooms, you will get a bag based on how much Audience Approval you've accrued when the show ends. I'm not sure about the breakpoints here because the event has been sped up for testing purposes, but you can will receive the following bags:
      Amateur Actor's Chest Novice Actor's Chest Expert Actor's Chest At the beginning of the show, you must get dressed and complete various tasks, ranging from killing mobs, to tossing wood, or kicking critters.
      During Act 1, I had to dress and /cheer on the generals.

      In Act 2, the general had to be defended from attackers.

      The objective in Act 3 was to complete as many feats of strength as possible.

      The finale always culminates in a fight against an elite.

      At the end of the show you will join the crew and take a bow.

      The Theater Coupe Rewards
      For the quest on the Alpha, I had to acquire 50 Audience Approval to complete the event's main quest for the following rewards:
      Theater Troupe's Trove - Contains a piece of Veteran tier equipment Gem-Studded Pendant (ilvl 574 Veteran 2/8 Amulet) 100 Coffer Key Shards  - Turn 100 Coffer Key Shards into a Restored Coffer Key to be used to obtain loot at the end of bountiful delves. 1,000 reputation with the Council of Dornogal

      Check out this handy spreadsheet designed for players leveling alts by saving XP tokens in the mailbox.
      LatterHyena4798 has created an invaluable spreadsheet for anyone leveling alts in MoP Remix through mailbox XP tokens.

      To use the calculator, simply enter a few key variables: your current level, the amount of XP you have, your target level, your cloak's bonus XP percentage, the number of Heroic Dungeon Tokens, and the number of Raid XP Tokens you possess.
      Once you've entered all the information, the spreadsheet will show you how many more dungeon or raid tokens you need and whether it's time to open your mail.

      We already talked about how leveling alts is pretty much the best way to get Bronze in Remix a while ago, but today we're getting into a specific way to do it fast and on your own!
      The Starter Account method is pretty straight forward, and you may already have figured out what it is by the title itself. Coming in at approximately 30,000 Bronze per hour, it really is among the best farms out there, not to mention the many additional max level characters you'll get! The only potential tricky part here is that you'll need to be running two WoW accounts simultaneously, so hopefully your PC can handle that (or just fiddle with the graphics settings on one of them until it can).
      The method is simple: you create a new WoW Starter Account under your existing Battle.net account, level a new character, and then have that character level up new alts! The reason this works is due to the scaling and the insane power of lower level chars. We've seen this already with the many sub-1-minute dungeon runs (with the most recent one coming in at 45 seconds), and while you don't need THAT kind of speed, you can get pretty crazy fast!
      You just log into your main account, head on over here , and make that connected account.

      So it's just getting to the level cap of 20 and finding the best dungeon clearing spec that works for you. You head to Heroic, have the character you're leveling join you, and in around 2-3 hours you should have a new 70! In case you missed it, the Bronze part comes in with the recently added compensation quests, where each new character can get 70,000 Bronze.
      In ArcheroNightmare's example, he uses a Priest and the Searing Light Tinker gem, which when used on high level characters (which the alt you're leveling will be pretty fast) basically AoE 1-shots everything if the tarter is high enough level. But that's just 1 method, and petty much any good AoE build will work. If you want to go really fast, you'll want to gear up the level 20 a little, but that's not going to take much time at all.
      And , of course, don't forget to skip picking up the XP tokens for later, as we talked about in our quick tip earlier today!

      So if you don't want to hunt for hyperspawns or do the dailies and upgrade your max level chars gear to 1-shot things the normal way, you can always just keep on spamming those alts!

      Here's a really quick tip, which you're probably already aware of if you've been leveling via dungeons or raids in Remix. It's a basic one players have known pretty much since the start, but we're just making sure you're aware in case you missed it!
      With leveling new characters being the new best way to get Bronze (well, if you're just looking for the transmogs that is), getting to 70 as fast as possible is pretty handy. One way you can speed this process up is by not looting the XP tokens from dungeons and raids. You can turn off auto-loot to do this or just hold shift on bosses, so you can skip them specifically. They get sent to your mailbox automatically when you don't loot them, so don't worry about losing them. So why would you do that?
      Well, if you wait and leave them in the mailbox until you're higher level, you'll have much more bonus experience on your Cloak of Infinite Potential, which will then boost the XP you get from the dungeon and raid tokens!
      It's a pretty simple "trick" and will end up getting you a lot of XP at the end. But be careful - once you ding those many levels directly from your mailbox, you'll be pretty weak due to the scaling, with players reporting having to go find and do some non-combat quests to get some half-way decent gear! If you're just leveling to get to 70 for the bonus Bronze you won't really care about this, but if you plan to play that character be prepared.
