Winds of Mysterious Fortune Event Guide

The Winds of Mysterious Fortune event returns in World of Warcraft starting January 27th, 2026, and it is a great chance to level up your characters faster and get reputation with any faction! Whether you are working on alts or gearing up new characters, here is everything you need to know.

The only major change from this event from the last time we saw it, is instead of reputation bonuses only for Dragonflight and The War Within expansions, we now have reputation bonuses for all reputations in the game! There is a nerf as it is only 50% increased gains to reputation as opposed to 200% for Dragonflight reputations and 100% for The War Within reputations from before. However, it is nice to work on some older reputations as with the introduction of Player Housing a lot of decor is locked behind different reputation grinds.

From January 27th to March 3rd, players can enjoy the following buffs via Winds of Mysterious Fortune:

• +20% Experience for characters level 10-79;
• +50% Reputation gain for all reputations from Classic through The War Within.

While you are out questing and killing mobs below level 80, you will occasionally find Mysterious Satchels. These are bonus loot bags of varying rarity that can drop from creatures or as a reward from quests.

• Weathered Mysterious Satchel — This mysterious satchel contains a few interesting items.
• Weathered Mysterious Satchel (Blue Quality Bag);
• Weathered Mysterious Satchel (Purple Quality Bag);
• Pristine Mysterious Satchel (Best version of the bag that contains gear).

The satchels can contain:

• Cool visual effects;
• Temporary stat boosts;
• Bonus gear appropriate to your level and specializations;
• Two-Hour 10% XP potions that stack with the 20% XP buff to a maximum of 30%. These XP potions are Warband-bound and can be consumed during the event or saved until after the event is over to be used on characters from level 10-79. Any stat potion effect or element potion effects will not work in M+, Raids, or Rated PvP content.

Potions found in the satchels grant your character temporary stat boosts with an average duration between 20-30 minutes. They get consumed upon use. Here is a full list of potions that you can find in the bags and the effects they provide:

Name	Effect	Duration
Potion of Mysterious Celerity	Increases movement speed by 10%.	30 minutes
