Step 2: Select your Legion Remix character
- Highlight the character you want to transfer.
- Next to the Play button, you will see an option to Convert to Retail (the wording may vary slightly depending on your client version).
Step 3: Review the Legion Remix character transfer details
- A warning window will explain what happens during transfer (More on that later in the article)
- Read carefully, as this process is permanent.
Step 4: Confirm the transfer
- If you are ready, confirm the conversion.
- The game will process the transfer, and your character will now appear on your retail realm list.
Step 5: Check your mailbox
- Once logged in on retail, open your mailbox.
- Any legacy items, unopened cosmetics, or collectible rewards from Legion Remix will be waiting there.
Legion Remix character transfer limitations
You can transfer any character created and leveled during the Legion Remix event to the retail version of World of Warcraft (The War Within and beyond). This includes:
- All Legion Remix event characters – regardless of whether they are level 10, 80, or somewhere in between. You can take advantage of this system by leveling a Legion Remix character to 80 and then transferring the alt into retail.
- Multiple characters – thanks to the five additional character slots added to every account, you are not limited to transferring just one.
You cannot however transfer:
- Existing retail characters do not need to be transferred. They already exist on live servers and are unaffected by Legion Remix. And as you can guess, cannot be transferred to Legion Remix version of the game.
- Previously transferred Remix characters cannot return to the event. Once you move them, it is a permanent, one-way transfer.
- The War Within expansion is required to play your newly transferred character. Although you don’t have to buy it to play Legion Remix.
Another neat detail is that you don’t need to wait for the Remix to be over in order to transfer your character from Legion Remix to The War Within. Unlike MoP Remix, Blizzard confirmed that transfers can be done at any time.
What happens after Legion Remix character transfer
- Your character loses all Legion Remix–specific systems, such as Bronze, Threads of Time, and event-only gems.
- You will receive level-appropriate retail gear and gold to make the character viable on live servers.
- Any collectibles you earned — mounts, toys, and transmog appearances — remain with your account. Unopened cosmetics or caches will be sent directly to your in-game mailbox.
After Legion Remix transfer is done you are free to do regular WoW activities like gearing.
And that wraps up our article! Legion Remix offers an accelerated path to leveling, making it a great opportunity to prepare characters you may want on your retail realm. If you’re doing specific activities, Legion Remix boosting can help you get them ready before transferring.
