We have some big news on the event front as Blizzard just detailed this year’s anniversary event details!
First things first, we have confirmation that the rewards and events from the 20th anniversary celebration are back! That’s right, the Caverns of Time will be hosting the big event once again. The post below has some mistakes, as there are no Bronze Tokens this year, but Timewarped Badges and Marks of Honor can get you Tier 2 sets, PvP items, previous anniversary rewards, and more. You can also grab the 20% XP buff (that also grants 20% reputation), which stacks with others to get you all the way up to 65% if you want to level on retail instead of Remix.
The anniversary events are back at the Caverns a well, with Mount Mania, Story Time, etc. ready to entertain. Blackrock Depths is also back in LFR mode.
There are also new rewards, with the Loyal Watchman transmog ensemble and a new title, Khaz Algar Enthusiast! You’ll need 210 Timewarped Badges for the set and 100 for the title. The event has started today and lasts through December 7th! Mists of Pandaria Classic gets the Joyous Journeys 50% XP buff back, starting November 18th.
NOTE: The post below has some incorrect information, like Bronze Tokens existing.

A Rewarding Celebration
The WoW 21st Anniversary has a variety of activities and ways to earn currency, which can be used to purchase myriad items, including the new Loyal Watchman ensemble transmog set pieces—Helm, Gauntlets, Trousers, Cuirass, Spaulders, Belt, and Boots.
(Helm, Gauntlets, Trousers, Cuirass, Spaulders, Belt, and Boots)
During the Anniversary, earn anywhere from 1 to 3 Bronze Celebration Tokens per activity over the course of the event each week. Quests and activity completions are tracked Warband-wide, can be completed on any character in your Warband, and will count toward the weekly amount of Warband Transferable Tokens your Warband can earn each week.
So, there’s no need to run the event with multiple characters every week—unless you want to spread the fun among your characters.
The top goblins have tallied everything up so that you know how to earn all the anniversary currencies and where they can be spent.

The mystical lands of Pandaria are swirling with danger.
