Embrace the Chaos of the Final Weekend of Legion Remix
Log in anytime from Friday, January 16, 8:00 am PST through to the end of Remix to earn the Feat of Strength, Cloudy With a Chance of Infernals.
When the dust settles and you find yourself returned to the main timeline in Azeroth, any Remix-specific items, equipment, and quests will be removed. Each transferred character will receive 2,000 gold and a set of item level 655 (102 after the squish) armor and weapons along with retaining any gold earned during Legion Remix.
Like sand through the hourglass, time is running out before the timeline in Legion Remix collapses. Before that happens, make sure to get in there and spend your Bronze on the items you want most to add to your collections before January 19.
While a vendor will remain available to purchase Legion Remix Housing decor items afterward, purchasing them during Legion Remix offers the best value!
