SoulSoBreezy interviewed Brian Dowling and Ciji Bambrick from the WoW Team about Remix: Mists of Pandaria. They revealed a lot of interesting information about the event that starts today, including details about obtaining Tusks of Mannoroth and Heirlooms.

Bones of Mannoroth

During the interview, Brian revealed that Bones of Mannoroth will indeed drop from Garrosh Hellscream in Siege of Orgrimmar. With the following drop rates:

• Normal Garrosh: 1x Bones of Mannoroth per kill
• Heroic Garrosh: 4x Bones of Mannoroth per kill
• Mythic Garrosh: 10x Bones of Mannoroth per kill

Together with Bronze, players can use Bones of Mannoroth to purchase Tusks of Mannoroth and Garrosh Heirlooms from MoP.

Why Remix?

• Remix was created as the answer to «What would players enjoy at the end of Dragonflight, filling the gap between expansions?». The inspiration comes from Diablo 3 Seasons. Season 28 in particular added the Altar of Rites which shook up the foundations of the game drastically and made a lot of old players come back for that Season.
• Pandaria fits very well as the expansion of choice due to the sheer volume of PvE activities to do. It is also been long enough that a number of players likely never played the expansion or haven't played its content in over a decade.
• The reasoning for requiring new characters for the event is that having everyone start at the same time, rediscovering Pandaria together, is a core aspect of Remix.

Raids

• Bones of Mannoroth drop from Garrosh only because all rewards attached to them are intrinsically linked to the Warchief. Brian also revealed you will get 10 Bones of Mannoroth from Mythic Garrosh, 4 from Heroic, and 1 from Normal. Mythic Garrosh is not a pushover, but won't take as long as people think to farm Tusks of Mannoroth or Garrosh Heirlooms.
• While numbers fluctuate depending on trash killed and whatnot, a full clear of Heroic or Mythic Siege of Orgrimmar rewards around 30k Bronze per run.
