With the headline changes set, here is what each part of the Dark Heart patch actually delivered.

What Patch 10.2.7 "Dark Heart" Was

Patch 10.2.7, codenamed "Dark Heart," was the last content update of the Dragonflight expansion, released on May 7, 2024 after opening on the PTR on April 10. Its story sent players back to Dalaran with Khadgar to investigate the Harbinger and the relic that named the patch, and it brought Alleria Windrunner back into the spotlight as a bridge into the expansion that followed.

The bigger draw for most players, though, was the feature load: a Group Finder rebuild aimed squarely at Mythic+, the return-to-Pandaria Remix event, two new Heritage Armor sets, and a batch of quest and collection changes. Blizzard used this patch to sand down years of friction before the next expansion reset everything.

Mythic+ Premade Group Finder Overhaul

The Premade Group Finder got the rework Mythic+ pugging had needed for years, and players felt it immediately. The one everyone noticed first was a proper filter button that let you narrow listings by specific dungeon, available roles, whether a tank or healer was already present, the minimum Mythic+ Rating of the leader, and difficulty level.

The rest of the overhaul made group quality readable at a glance and swept up a batch of adjacent UI fixes:

• Role icons displayed class colors, so you could read a group's composition without opening it.
• The applicant tooltip showed the player's Mythic+ Rating, their highest key for the listed dungeon, and their highest key across all dungeons.
• A helptip tutorial explained how to search for a precise key range.
• Groups that no longer fit your criteria were marked with a red background, and groups you had hard-declined were sorted to the bottom.
• Crafting Orders gained recipe tracking, the Auction House got a current-expansion-only filter, and the map could toggle Dragonriding Race locations.
• Mount tooltips began showing whether a mount was Ground, Aquatic, Flying, or Dragonriding.

Taken together, these turned the Mythic+ listing screen from a wall of names into something you could actually evaluate. Players who would rather skip the pug lottery for a specific key can compare our Mythic+ dungeon carries instead.

✏️ The most useful new filter for Mythic+ was the minimum leader Rating. Setting it near your own score filtered out under-geared leaders who would disband a key on the first wipe, which mattered far more for a smooth run than any single class in the group.

WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

The patch's marquee event was WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, which ran from May 16 to August 20, 2024. It dropped you onto a fresh event character at level 10 and sped you through the Pandaria campaign, scenarios, dungeons, and raids up to level 70 at an accelerated pace.

Progression centered on two systems. The Cloak of Infinite Potential arrived a few quests into the campaign and grew through threads of time, such as Thread of Haste and Thread of Mastery, that granted permanent stat increases. Gear scaled through item level and was upgraded with Bronze, the event currency you earned from nearly everything and spent at item upgraders, mount and transmog vendors, and cosmetic sellers.

The reason Remix drew such a crowd was the carry-over: the transmog appearances, mounts, pets, and achievements you earned during the event transferred to your normal collection and stayed with you into the next expansion. Players chasing the level grind can explore our WoW leveling services to reach cap faster.

📌 A common Remix mistake was pouring Bronze into gear upgrades on a character you were about to outlevel. The gear was disposable once the event ended, but the mounts, pets, and transmog were permanent, so Bronze spent on collectibles held its value long after the event closed.

Draenei and Troll Heritage Armor

Dark Heart added Heritage Armor for two more races. Draenei earned the Embrace of Lost Embaari and Endurance of Temple Telhamat sets, while Trolls received the Covenant of the Darkspear and Loyalty of the Darkspear sets. As with earlier Heritage questlines, these were narrative rewards for leveling a character of the race to cap rather than purchasable cosmetics, and the questlines were not available for testing on the PTR.

Kul Tiran humans also picked up six new hair colors in the same patch, a small customization catch-up for a race that had shipped with a limited palette.

Sins of the Sister and Renown Changes

The patch's standout story content was the "Sins of the Sister" questline. A night elf arrives at Bel'ameth to bury family who died at Teldrassil, only to learn that her deceased sister had been a traitor, leaving the player to choose between forgiveness and accountability. It opened with the quest "An Uncommon Request" from Malfurion Stormrage at the Terrace of the Moon in Bel'ameth, available to level 70 characters.

Alongside the story, Blizzard removed a long-standing gate: every Dragonflight quest that had previously unlocked with Renown became available to all max-level characters regardless of Renown. Alts that had skipped reputation grinds could finally pick up the quests they had missed.

Trading Post Mount Categorization

The Trading Post received a readability pass that matched the new mount tooltips elsewhere in the patch. Its details panel began showing each mount's category, Ground, Aquatic, Flying, or Dragonriding, along with the level requirement for using it. For a monthly shop where a themed mount is often the main draw, knowing whether it could actually fly, or whether your character was high enough level to ride it, meant no more spending Trader's Tender on a mount you could not use yet.

⚠️ WoW Remix was a limited-time event, and the Cloak of Infinite Potential and Bronze systems retired with it on August 20, 2024. Anything you wanted from the Bronze vendors had to be bought before the event closed; the collectibles carried over, but the currency and the event characters did not.
