The Ultimate Legion Remix Gearing Guide: How to Max Out Your Item Level Fast
Welcome to the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide on gearing in Legion Remix! Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a dungeon grinder, or a raid enthusiast, this article will walk you through every step of the gearing process, explain the new systems, and provide pro tips to help you reach the maximum item level (ilvl) as efficiently as possible.
Introduction: What Is Legion Remix Gearing?
Legion Remix introduces a unique gearing system centered around a new currency: Mote of a Broken Time. This system rewards you for participating in a wide variety of activities, from world quests to high-end raids, and allows you to steadily increase your character’s power by collecting motes and upgrading your gear.
The Two Gearing Systems Explained
1. Mote of a Broken Time
How it works: Collect 10 Motes of a Broken Time to receive a random piece of gear. The item level of this gear is based on your current average ilvl.
Progression: To unlock the next ilvl tier, you generally need to equip 4–5 pieces of gear at your current ilvl. This process repeats as you climb toward the cap.
2. Mythic+ Dungeon Gearing
How it works: Unlike the Mote system, Mythic+ dungeons reward gear at a fixed ilvl based on the keystone level you complete. The higher the keystone, the higher the ilvl, up to a maximum of 740 at keystone level 63.
How to Get Mote of a Broken Time
Here’s a breakdown of the best sources for farming motes and how efficient each activity is:
| Activity | Motes per Hour | Solo/Group | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mythic Dungeon Boss | 30 | Group | Best group efficiency |
| Treasure Chests | 30 | Solo | Best solo efficiency |
| Mythic Raid Boss | 16 | Group | High, but lockout-limited |
| Heroic Raid Boss | 15 | Group | |
| Rare Mob | 15 | Solo | Good for open world farming |
| World Quest | 12.9 | Solo | Steady, easy, flexible |
| Normal Raid Boss | 12 | Group | |
| LFR Boss | 11.3 | Group | |
| Regular Quest | 11.3 | Solo | |
| Heroic Dungeon Boss | 7.5 | Group | Not recommended |
| Withered Training | 5 | Solo | Not recommended |
Pro Tip: For the fastest progress, focus on Mythic Dungeons (if you have a group) or Treasure Chest routes (if you’re solo). Mix in world quests and raids for variety and to avoid burnout.
How Many Motes Do You Need?
Each ilvl tier: Requires 4–5 pieces of gear at that ilvl to unlock the next tier.
Total upgrades needed: 52 (to go from the lowest to the highest ilvl).
Total motes required: About 2,080 (10 motes per gear piece, ~4–5 pieces per tier).
