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).
