Updated June 10, 2025 by Hsuan Tung Chen:In response to player feedback,Blizzard released a live update to the pre-patch event, Radiant Echoes, on August 1st, 2024. The update addressed several concerns, including shorter cycles between zones, repeatable bosses, reduced grind for currency farming, and more.
How to Participate in the Radiant Echoes Event
The Radiant Echoes event will take place between July 30th and August 26th and be available for all characters between levels 10 and 70. Players with a level 70 character will automatically receive an introductory quest calledThe War Within, eventually sending them to Dalaran (Legion) tomeet Khadgar, while players below 70 will be directed there immediately. Dalaran will be the main hub of the event, with the action taking place between Dustwallow Marsh, Dragonblight, and Searing Gorge. The event will cycle between the three zones every hour, with each zone alternating between two repeating stages. Players can take portals in the Chamber of the Guardian in Dalaran to each of the zones and return via another portal at each location.
The portals in Dalaran and a multicolor orb icon on the map will mark the current active zone and the remaining duration until the next zone. Each zone will have a camp where players can accept an account-wide daily quest to slay the respective zone’sRememberedboss.
Players can earnResidual Memories, the event currency, by participating in the event stages, completing the daily quests, and slaying enemies called memories in the area. Residual Memories can be used to purchase upgradeable Veteran gear, starting from item level 480, and a variety of cosmetics, such as Mounts and Battle Pets.
Players do not need to pre-orderThe War Withinto participate in Radiant Echoes.
