Warcraft Legion Remix Week 1: Farming & Progression Guide

Weekly Events in Warcraft: Patch 11.2.5

With the launch of Patch 11.2.5 this week, there's plenty of activity in the world of Warcraft. After the usual extended maintenance, players can enjoy a Twitch drop featuring the new Pit Lord pet and a chance to win Dreadlord ensembles. The new patch also introduces two additional upgrade levels for seasonal gear, meaning heroes and met track gear now have eight upgrade levels. This can be done in the usual way using guilty crests. Crafted gear follows suit with an upgrade matrix available just outside the Artisans Consortium, allowing players to elevate their gear even further.

Key Highlights This Week

• World Quest Bonus Event: An easy way to gain renown for your chosen faction.
• Darkmoon Faire: A return to the classic funfair with all its activities.
• Catalyst Week: A crucial period for obtaining catalyst charges from seasonal content.
• Micro Events: Participate in the Great Nomand Race to support breast cancer awareness.

The week also brings the return of the Legion remix event, which starts with phase one. This phase includes the original Broken Isle zones, its dungeons, and raids like the Emerald Nightmare and Trial of Valor. Players should focus on familiarizing themselves with these areas to efficiently gather power and resources.

Gearing and Progression Guide

As the Legion remix begins, players will be tasked with earning power and gathering gear. Here’s a short guide to help you get started:

1. Choose Your Character: Any level 80 character will unlock an achievement for a fel-colored class mount.
2. Artifact Weapons: Shortly after starting, you will receive your first artifact weapon with access to a skill tree.
3. Twisted Crusade Tree: This tree offers a balance of power and cooldowns – highly recommended.
4. Loot Boxes: Scrapping gear you replace nets resources; focus on secondary and tertiary stats, but prioritize accessories.

Progression Tools

• Spreadsheet Reference: A basic guide to track achievements and rewards.
• Achievements Focus: Achievements cover dungeons, raids, quests, and zone progression. Setting goals is helpful for motivation.
• Daily Quests from Eternis: Offer a variety of activities and can be found in the central hub.

Here's an example of how to track your achievement and reward progress:

Early Game Tips

• World Quests and Emissaries: Focus on their rewards for reputation, experience, and items.
• Complete Zones Fully: It’s rewarding to clear entire zones of quests and objectives, achieving non-essential but beneficial achievements.
• Avoid Early Dungeons/Raids: At this stage, concentrating on leveling and gearing up is more important than running dungeons or raids.

Progressing through these tasks will prepare you for greater challenges and opportunities as you continue your adventure in Azeroth. This mix of activities, rewards, and challenges should keep the journey engaging and rewarding as we unfold the new updates in this patch.

To smoothly advance through your adventure, maintain momentum by balancing challenges and strategic decisions. While the temptation to tackle the heroic world tier may arise, consider holding off until comfortable with the current challenges—hesitating is better than breaking your stride with unnecessary setbacks. Should you reach max level this week, the core strategy remains focusing on achievements. Not only do achievements bolster your experience, but they also award "infinite knowledge," empowering your journey down the artifact tree and enhancing vital stats like versatility.

At max level, the decisions become a little more nuanced:

1. Pursue Dungeon Achievements: Accumulate infinite knowledge to rapidly advance through the artifact tree.
2. Balance Challenges with Gear Grinding: Decide between pushing higher-level content or refining strategies through easier quests for better gear.
3. Utilize Loot Boxes: Maximize the tokens from loot boxes to unlock stronger equipment.
4. Explore Group Content: Opt for group activities when you're equipped and ready to farm different tokens for infinite power.

   Throughout this process, tokens play a crucial role as equipping them significantly boosts power levels. Prioritizing the right mix of solo and group endeavors will enhance both personal skill and overall strength. Transitioning to phase two of the alpha promises additional features and opportunities for growth; however, remaining grounded in the present ensures a solid foundation for future challenges. While the journey may seem daunting, the right strategy and pace will make it manageable and rewarding. Keep tracking your client's updates for the latest alpha developments and thrive in your pursuits. Remember, finding enjoyment in each milestone is key to a perfect adventure.
