Secrets of Azeroth: Mimiron's Jumpjets and Arcane Influence

Key Takeaways

• The Secrets of Azeroth event ran during Dragonflight Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate" (September 2023) and added the Mimiron's Jumpjets mount plus the limited-time Arcane Influence Feat of Strength.
• Arcane Influence was earned only during the timed Empowered Arcane Forge activations in Valdrakken; it has been unobtainable since the final cutoff on September 14, 2023.
• The Arcane Forge activated every four hours and needed players to deliver 150 energy from Power Sources worth 1 each and Massive Power Sources worth 5.
• Carrying an orb slowed you heavily and dropped it after about 20 seconds; Warlock Burning Rush and Death Knight Death's Advance bypassed that slow.
• Lightning Thief mobs stole loose orbs and had to be killed to recover them.
• Mimiron's Jumpjets outlived the event: the forge is now permanently empowered, so the mount is still craftable from its three Booster Parts.
• No prior Secrets of Azeroth progress was required to earn the Feat of Strength while it was live.

Here is how the Empowered Arcane Forge worked, what the timed Feat of Strength demanded, and why the mount reward is the part that still matters today.

What the Secrets of Azeroth Event Was

The Secrets of Azeroth event was a Dragonflight community mystery hunt that ran through late August and mid September 2023, tied to Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate." Its final phase handed players a second collectible mount and, for a short window, a Feat of Strength that rewarded showing up while the event was live.

Despite the title this article once carried, the event was never called "Mysteries of Azeroth." The official name was Secrets of Azeroth, and the reward chase centered on an Arcane Forge sitting in the Artisan's Market in Valdrakken.

How the Empowered Arcane Forge Worked

The Arcane Forge needed to be charged by the Artisan's Market, and it activated on a timer roughly every four hours. During each activation, players collectively had to return 150 energy worth of Power Sources scattered around Valdrakken before the window closed.

The orbs came in two sizes, and the maths was simple:

• Each regular Power Source added 1 energy.
• Each Massive Power Source added 5 energy.

Once enough energy was banked across the scheduled activations, the forge became permanently empowered. From that point the timed events stopped mattering and the mount could be assembled at any time.

The schedule below is how the remaining activations stood at the time of the original post, in Pacific Daylight Time and Central European Summer Time.

Blizzard later extended the window twice as players scrambled to finish, moving the final cutoff to September 14, 2023, after which the Feat of Strength was gone for good.

Earning the Arcane Influence Feat of Strength

The reward for taking part was Arcane Influence, a Feat of Strength earned simply by helping charge the forge during one of the timed activations. You did not need to have finished any earlier Secrets of Azeroth steps to qualify, so latecomers could still grab it as long as the events were running.

Because it was tied to those timed windows, Arcane Influence is now a closed collection. Players who logged in during that September 2023 stretch have it; everyone else missed the window.

Claiming Mimiron's Jumpjets

The durable prize was Mimiron's Jumpjets, assembled at the forge from three Booster Parts once it was fully empowered. Unlike the Feat of Strength, the mount survived the event: with the Arcane Forge now permanently active, anyone can still gather the parts and craft it.

That makes the Jumpjets one of the easier "event" mounts to backfill years later, since the timed pressure is gone. Collectors filling out their Dragonflight rides can build your WoW mount collection with a team handling the legwork.

Carrying Power Sources Efficiently

Moving the orbs was the whole minigame. Carrying a Power Source greatly reduced your movement speed and forced you to drop it after about 20 seconds, though you could toss the orb to yourself or an ally to reset that timer. Mounts were disabled while carrying.

Speed tools that ignore movement-slow effects were the counter. The Warlock's Burning Rush and the Death Knight's Death's Advance both prevented being slowed below 100% of normal speed, so those two classes ferried orbs noticeably faster. On top of the slow, Lightning Thief mobs spawned to snatch loose orbs and haul them back toward their spawn; defeating a thief returned the stolen orb.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Secrets of Azeroth event?

A Dragonflight world event from Patch 10.1.7 "Fury Incarnate" (September 2023), built around a community mystery hunt in Valdrakken and across Azeroth. It rewarded the Mimiron's Jumpjets mount and, for a limited window, the Arcane Influence Feat of Strength.

Is the Arcane Influence Feat of Strength still obtainable?

No. It was limited to the timed Empowered Arcane Forge activations in September 2023 and became permanently unavailable after the final cutoff on September 14, 2023.

Can you still get Mimiron's Jumpjets?

Yes. Unlike the Feat of Strength, the mount remained obtainable. The Arcane Forge in Valdrakken is now permanently active, so players can craft it from the three Booster Parts at any time.

How did the Empowered Arcane Forge event work?

The Arcane Forge in Valdrakken's Artisan's Market activated every four hours. Players carried Power Sources back to it, with each regular source worth 1 energy and each Massive Power Source worth 5, aiming for 150 energy per activation.

Which abilities helped carry Power Sources faster?

Abilities that stop movement-speed reduction, such as the Warlock's Burning Rush and the Death Knight's Death's Advance, countered the carry slow because both prevent being slowed below 100% of normal speed.

Was the event called "Mysteries of Azeroth" or "Secrets of Azeroth"?

The official name is Secrets of Azeroth. "Mysteries of Azeroth" is a misnomer that never appeared in game.
