Campaign Overview
The Suramar storyline splits into two major blocks: Good Suramaritan (16 chapters) and Insurrection (9 arcs). Good Suramaritan unlocks Ancient Mana capacity and telemancy pads, while Insurrection opens the Nighthold and Kaldorei Queen rewards during Phase 2 – Rise of the Nightfallen (October 21 – November 3, 2025). Finish both to maximize Nightfallen reputation and Bronze refunds from Infinite Knowledge overflow.

Recommended Toolchain
- Track Ancient Mana spending with the Ancient Mana Guide while you progress campaign chapters.

- Add Withered Army Training targets to the Bronze Calculator so Bronze refunds from Infinite Knowledge overflow are earmarked.
FAQ
When does Insurrection unlock in Legion Remix?
Phase 2 – Rise of the Nightfallen begins on October 21, 2025. You must finish Chapter 11 – A Change of Seasons and reach 2,000 Ancient Mana cap (or close) to avoid stalls once Insurrection quests appear.
Do I need to feed the Nightfallen NPCs every day during the campaign?
Yes. Thalyssra, Oculeth, and Valtrois lock their quests and teleporter services if they are starving. Feed each for 50 Ancient Mana at the daily reset.
Does the Suramar campaign require group content?
Story chapters are solo-friendly. Later Insurrection steps ask you to queue for Return to Karazhan and The Nighthold at least once—Story Mode difficulty counts in Legion Remix.
