What can I start farming in retail to save Bronze for MoP Remix?

Weird question, I know…

I’ve played on and off for years, but didn’t spend much time in Pandaria. I love the idea of MoP Remix though and am planning on basically restarting my account with this event.

What dungeons/raids/mobs can I start farming to earn the stuff that will be available for Bronze? I know there’s mounts and I think I can figure those out, but I’m curious about armor sets.

Thank you.

I would go through all the raids, honestly they are really cool aesthetically.

Most of the transmogs. As far as I saw on the PTR, there isn’t a new fancy, unique, Plunderstorm-like set to collect; they’re just the raid/dungeon/world content sets. Lots of recolor mounts. The rare mounts (Sha, Galleon, etc.) seem to be the best way to spend your bronze, as they’re the most annoying to get normally.

Also don’t vendor any unusable BoP gear you come across in old raids. You can drop it in the shared Warwithin bank and pull it out on a character that can use it - after launch.

Most optimal? Rush to 70 (questing and raiding was the most optimal on the PTR). Bronze upscale was you go higher. Everything gives it.

Most enjoyable? Do all the zone quests (you’ll want to do this anyway for golden elegon mount).

I spent 4 hours on the PTR compared to Bellular’s 20 so maybe worth checking his video.

Heroic scholomance for the krastov bag toy.

Almost all the rares throughout MoP for their rare toy drops.

Transmogs from raids, mounts from raids.

There are recolors of the Trading Post class “sets” to collect.

We don’t know that it’s going to be retroactive and not everything is going to be Warband account bound.

Something to keep in mind with transmog farming is that the Remix Ensembles are all or nothing. You’ll pay the same price for a set you’ve already some of the pieces of that you’d pay if you have no pieces. So, from that perspective, you might want to focus on MoP raid sets you’ve currently got partial completion on.

From what they’ve said the Warbound until Equipped will be effectively a new class of items that can drop as a bonus. Soulbound items will not be converted to WuE. (You can make BoE items WuE in TWW, but that’s only useful if you want to learn an appearance on a character that can’t equip it but save the item for a later character. If you just want to learn a BoE you can’t equip you can vendor or DE it.)

They have said that any soulbound items in your bags/bank that you can’t currently learn — assuming they aren’t class locked — will be learned on login in the prepatch. So, it might be worth saving them if you’ve got the space for it. You won’t be able to then send the to other characters to actually wear, they will still be soulbound.

I don’t think anything is worth farming if we are getting 3 months to play Remix. You should be able to get almost everything just by playing then.

The only thing that might be harder to get then are the toys since the rares don’t appear to respawn any faster than they did in MoP and more people might be farming them than now.

You can farm raid / world boss mounts, for now. And toys, I guess.

The transmogs aren’t necessarily something you can farm right now. Pandaria Remix ensembles are class-agnostic collections of the existing raid tier sets. They work similarly to how Tier 3 works. A paladin can wear warrior tier 3 and vice versa. Just requires the same armor specialization.

I’d focus on the rares if you want to save bronze. Retail MoP is sort of empty, especially if you risk Warmode on, and iirc most toy and collectable rare drops had pretty high droprates.

Of course the other key point is that all of this stuff will still be available in MoP after Remix. I would just go through the list and focus on the stuff you want, the most expensive stuff first. You might get lucky.

Its fair to say that the rarer the item, the more bronze it costs. So, don’t worry so much about the “cheap” stuff you can farm later.

I recommend getting all of the Pandaren Starting Gear from The Wandering Isle. While the versions you’ll buy in Remix are listed as Cosmetic, there’s a few choice colors that weren’t available in Retail.
