Summary
Speedrunning inWorld of Warcrafthas found new life inMists of PandariaRemix, as a Monk player has completed the Temple of the Jade Serpent in just 50 seconds. Despite being a temporary game mode,World of Warcraftplayers have taken well toMists of PandariaRemix. From leveling alts to grinding for cosmetics, it’s a rewarding experience for anyWorld of Warcraftfan, especially in preparation forThe War Within. Not only doesMists of PandariaRemixhave exclusive cosmetic rewards, but gathering the required currency is straightforward.
However, a big part of the appeal of theunique format forMists of PandariaRemixis that it leaves balance behind, and embraces fun above all else.World of Warcraftplayers have been able to break the game in unimaginable ways, from overflowing the number cap on a Guardian Druid’s shield, to killing essential NPCs like Baine Bloodhoof. Given the way scaling works inMists of PandariaRemix, it was only a matter of time until someone took a stab at speedrunning the expansion’s iconic dungeons.
A Monk player named Cemix managed to pull off a Temple of the Jade Serpent run in 50 seconds, posting the video on their YouTube channel. The brilliance of Cenix’s attempt is twofold: by making use of a trial account to keep their Monk capped at Level 20, and by using a Cloak of Infinite Potential with over 10,000 threads under favorable scaling. Since the farming methods forBronze inMists of PandariaRemixare similar at Level 20 and at Level 70, Cemix managed to dramatically increase the damage potential of their Monk while keeping the enemies weak.
While their 50-second attempt is impressive, Cemix speculates that a Demon Hunter or even a Druid would be able to achieve a better time in the Temple of the Jade Serpent or otherMists of Pandariadungeons. The Demon Hunter isWorld of Warcraft’s most versatile classwhen it comes to movement abilities, and can feasibly skip the Temple of the Jade Serpent straight to the third boss. As such, a Demon Hunter attempt could feasibly complete the dungeon in 30 seconds or less, and Cemix has even considered leveling a Demon Hunter alt for that reason.
Mists of Pandaria Remix Characters Will Carry Over to The War Within
Mists of PandariaRemixends on August 19, which means thatWorld of Warcraftplayers only have a limited time to enjoy the insane power level given to them by the Cloak of Infinite Potential. Any alt leveled as a Remix character will get carried over intoWarbands inThe War Within, which is likely one of the major reasons Blizzard organized the event in the first place. However, it is important to note that their inventory will be wiped afterMists of PandariaRemixconcludes, which essentially means that a Remix character’s level is the only thing that carries over.
