The Radiant Echoes is The War Within Pre-Patch event and will help you prepare for this newest WoW expansion with bulk rewards including currency, gear, transmog, pets, mounts, and other unique items! In this guide, let's look at what reward items we will get and how to get them!
As we approach the launch of the War Within expansion in WoW, Blizzard has introduced the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event to bridge the gap between expansions and provide players with exciting activities and rewards. This event will take players across various iconic locations in Azeroth where they can relive epic battles and acquire unique items.
War Within Radiant Echoes Pre-Patch Event Release Date
The War Within Pre-Patch Event - Radiant Echoes is set to commence on August 20, 2024, right after the end of MoP Remix on August 19.
Event Locations and Activities
During the Radiant Echoes event, players will encounter memories bubbling up in three main locations:
Dustwallow March: Battle the Remembered Onyxia.
Searing Gorge: Confront the Remembered Firelord.
Dragonblight: Face off against the Remembered Lich King.
These encounters are expected to be reminiscent of the Worldsoul Memory Events from Khaz Algar, focusing on defeating major villains from Warcraft's history. Players will engage in these battles by killing mobs to summon echoes of these formidable foes.
How to Participate the TWW Pre-Patch Event
Upon logging in when the event is live, players will receive a quest in their UI, directing them to Dalaran to speak with Kadar. From there, players will be guided to participate in the Radiant Echoes events occurring in the aforementioned locations. Participation involves various activities like defeating enemies, completing objectives, and interacting with event-specific elements like the Radiant Chord, which allows players to experience Azeroth's memories vividly.
Event Mechanics
In these areas, you’ll find multiple objectives to complete within a set timeframe, alongside other players. Tasks include defeating mobs, interacting with objects, and progressing through stages of the event. Each completed stage rewards you with currency and occasionally gear or other items. However, during the beta, some events concluded abruptly, including a final challenge against Onyxia, indicating some stability issues that hopefully will be resolved in the full release.
The War Within Prepatch Rewards and Vendors
During the War Within pre-patch event, players have the opportunity to collect a variety of rewards from the special vendor, Remembrancer Amuul, in Dalaran. These rewards encompass a range of gear, pets, bags, mounts, and a unique craftable Heirloom ring, all designed to enhance your gameplay experience as you prepare for the new expansion. Here's a detailed breakdown of the available rewards:
Currency - Residual Memories
Throughout the event, you'll collect Residual Memories, a currency used at a special vendor inside Dalaran. This vendor offers a variety of items, from gear and pets to unique mounts. The gear available includes Veteran gear, which can be upgraded, although the exact mechanics for upgrading are still being finalized.
Players will collect Residual Memories from enemies, which serve as the currency for purchasing rewards from Remembrancer Amuul in Dalaran.
Warbound Gear
Item Level 493 Champion Gear: Available for purchase with Radiant Memories, these items carry the "Dalaran's Defender" prefix, indicating their high quality. A full list of available items can be explored on WoWDB.

Heirloom Ring
Crafting the Band of Radiant Echoes: Players need to gather three essences from the event’s bosses (Essence of the Eastern Kingdoms, Essence of Northrend, Essence of Kalimdor) and combine them with a Lifeless Stone Ring. This process creates the Band of Radiant Echoes, an Heirloom ring that benefits players across their account.
Lifeless Stone Ring: Available at the event’s gear vendor in Dalaran, this ring is the base item for crafting the Heirloom ring.
Upgrading and Transferring Items
Many of the items, including gear and trinkets, can be upgraded using additional Residual Memories. Notably, items are Warbound, meaning they can be shared across all characters on your account, enhancing flexibility in gear distribution among your characters.
These rewards are designed to prepare players for the upcoming challenges in the War Within expansion, providing them with powerful gear, helpful companions, and significant boosts to their carrying capacity.
Radiant Echoes offers a straightforward pre-patch experience with a mix of combat, exploration, and collection. It's a great opportunity to gear up and enjoy new content as we transition into the War Within expansion. As always, these events provide a blend of nostalgia and new challenges, ideal for both veterans and newcomers to the game. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the event's official release, and make sure to participate to grab some unique items and experience the buildup to War Within.
