Pandaria Timerunning gives players a lot of gearing agency, introducing a large variety of gems with stats and special effects that can be socketed into almost any piece of gear, but players may have noticed a lack of accessories, which are only awarded by achievements! Timerunning eschewing the Mists of Pandaria gear we're familiar with in favor of caches containing random assortment of gear and consumables. Awarded from virtually every quest and activity in Mists of Pandaria Timerunning, this creates plenty of loot to choose between, though players may have noticed a distinct lack of accessories, as necks, rings, and trinkets do not appear to be awarded — either from quest caches or dungeon and raid bosses. Players instead fill out their final item slots through achievements, a late game power spike to encourage accomplishments and reward reaching level 70, though not all of them require first reaching level 70 to unlock. Interestingly, the versions we datamined all have secondary effects in addition to the extra sockets, which are not present in-game.

In today's Patch 10.2.7 PTR, we've datamined new toys that will allow players to don the wings of the August Celestial legendary cloaks from Mists of Pandaria, such as Xing-Ho, Breath of Yu'lon for the Jade Serpent. Since cloaks will be replaced by the new Cloak of Infinite Potential for Timerunning and the potential new meta gems (Chi-ji, the Red Crane/Bulwark of the Black Ox), it makes sense that Blizzard would create a way for these highly coveted wing effects to return.
