    Event Radiant Echoes

  • When does the event take place? From 31 July 2024 to 27 August 2024.
  • Where does the event take place? In Dalaran, Dragonblight, Dustwallow Marsh and Searing Gorge.
  • Who can participate? Characters from levels 10 to 70. It doesn’t matter if you own The War Within or not.
  • Is there a new currency? Yup, the memory scraps you get by defeating memories, echoes, and unforgettable bosses.
  • Start of the event and the different phases

    If you log in with a level 70 character at the start of Radiant Echoes, you will receive an introductory quest that will take you to Dalaran. Characters below level 70 will be guided to Dalaran without a quest.

    The new WoW event consists of four phases that must be mastered in different regions of Azeroth. You can reach the respective areas without a long journey via the portals in Dalaran. If you want to get back to the flying capital from there, you can also do this via a portal.

    Please note: The event is not always active in all zones. If a portal glows gold, the event is running in the corresponding region. The rotation of the areas is as follows:

  • During the first week of the event, the zones change every 90 minutes.
  • During the second week of the event, the zones change every 60 minutes.
  • During the third and fourth weeks of the event, the zones change every 30 minutes.
  • Eliminate congealed memories, shining echoes, and unforgettable bosses.

    Different tasks await you in the four phases:

  • Stage 1: You defeat the congealed memories that appear in the zone.
  • Stage 2: There are six random events in the active zone, marked on the map by a colorful globe. Your task is to defeat the radiant echoes.
  • Stage 3: You must complete a quest in each zone that requires you to defeat the Unforgotten Lich King (Location: Dragonblight; Weekly Quest: Only Darkness), the Unforgotten Onyxia (Location: Dustwallow Marsh; Weekly Quest: Shattered Masquerade), and the Unforgotten Firelord (Location: Searing Gorge; Weekly Quest: Champion of the Waterlords).
  • Stage 4: Once the zone boss is defeated, the final phase begins and the radiant echoes disappear. You can now defeat any lingering memories to receive more memory remnants. A timer counts down until the next zone event starts.
  • The Rewards of Radiant Echoes

    In each of the four event zones you will find a new merchant where you can exchange the memory scraps you have earned – you can see the amount of scraps you have earned in the currency tab of the character window (shortcut C), under “The War Within”:

  • Dalaran: Remember Amuul in the Guardian’s Chamber
  • Dragon Wastes: Echo of the Silver Hand at Wyrmrest Temple
  • The Dustwallow Marshes: Forgotten hero at Tabetha’s court
  • Scorching Gorge: Remembering a Duke at the Iron Summit
  • The items you can buy with memory scraps range from a 32-slot bag or a 30-slot reagent bag (each for 2,000 memory scraps) to one mount per faction (Unforgotten Golden Griffin (Alliance) and Unforgotten Wind Rider (Horde) for 20,000 memory scraps each) to three new pets and various pieces of equipment with item level 480.

    What to do with the Lifeless Stone Ring?

    There is also a Lifeless Stone Ring, which costs just 25 Memory Remnants and has the following use effect: “Imbue it with the essences of Azeroth to restore its power. An ancient titan ring that has faded over time. It may be able to be renewed.”

    If you use the ring to collect memories in the event zones, you can combine them to create essences and use the Lifeless Stone Ring to create the heirloom ring “Band of Radiant Echoes” with item level 227, which levels up with your character.
