Pandaria & the Vale of Eternal Blossom

[AlesianDuke]

New to Mists of Pandaria? First to level 85? Never used WoW Freakz database? Never searched something on google? Are you a visitor from the Stone Age? Finally, are you a dummy?
If the answer to most of these is "YES", then this is the perfect guide for you. Now, let me point out some facts to you regarding Pandaria.

Miscellaneous Facts

I'M A HORDE... GIVE ME PANDARIA... NOW!!!

When a Horde player reaches level 85 he will automatically receive in his quest log The Art of War, the start quest for Pandaria. You are required to complete each quest that follows that one, in order to enter Pandaria and also unlock the portal for Pandaria.

NOTE: if you do not receive the quest, check the Warchief's Command Board, in Orgrimmar, the Valley of Strength, just in front of Grommash Hold, the building where Garrosh Hellscream resides




The Art of War is turned in inside Grommash Hold, at General Nazgrim, who will give you the next quest, All Aboard!.



Next, All Aboard! isn't completed in Orgrimmar, but for this you need to reach Durotar's harbor, just outside of Orgrimmar, and speak to another General Nazgrim, just onto the docks.



You will next receive the quest called Into the Mists, for which you speak with Nazgrim again and you'll be teleported to Honeydew Village, in Jade Forest... CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE REACHED PANDARIA!
Now, go down the road and find your good friend General Nazgrim, and speak to him to complete the quest and turn it in.



You can now continue the main Horde quest chain or do anything else you might want in Pandaria. I'll just mention two tips regarding the next two quests:
for Paint it Red! simply talk to the Gunship Turret behind Nazgrim, on a small hill

and for the follow-up Touching Ground talk to General Nazgrim at the entrance to the village (another one).

NOTE: for other quests, npcs, items, objects and more just USE THE FREAKZ DATABASE


As I mentioned before, you've now unlocked Pandaria, so if you return to Orgrimmar or any other continent in Azeroth, to reach Pandaria again simply go to Orgrimmar, the Valley of Honor (north area of the city), and find the Portal to Honeydew Village.



Let's recap: Horde players need to complete the following quests in order to reach Pandaria:
The Art of War >>> All Aboard! >>> Into the Mists

FRIENDLY ALLIANCE SEEKING ACCESS INTO PANDARIA

When an Alliance player reaches level 85 he will automatically receive in his quest log The King's Command, the start quest for Pandaria. You are required to complete each quest that follows that one, in order to enter Pandaria and also unlock the portal for Pandaria.

NOTE: if you do not receive the quest, check the Hero's Call Board, in Stormwind City, the Trade District, near the Auction House




The King's Command is turned in inside Stormwind Keep, in the room to the right of King Varian Wrynn (as you look at him), at SI:7 agent Rell Nightwind, in the War Room, who will give you the next quest, The Mission.



For The Mission you will have to go towards Stormwind Harbor, and find Sky Admiral Rogers, just on the stairs that go down into the harbor. Talk to her and you'll be teleported to Paw'don Village, in Jade Forest... CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE REACHED PANDARIA!



Now, walk just a bit to reach Sky Admiral Rogers and turn the quest in.



You can now continue the main Alliance quest chain or do anything else you might want in Pandaria. I'll just mention two tips regarding the next two quests:
for Unleash Hell simply talk to the Skyfire Gyrocopter just behind Admiral Rogers

and for the follow-up Touching Ground exit the village and talk to Sully "The Pickle" McLeary, on a small hill, under cherry trees.

NOTE: for other quests, npcs, items, objects and more just USE THE FREAKZ DATABASE


As I mentioned before, you've now unlocked Pandaria, so if you leave the continent, to reach Pandaria again simply go to Stormwind City, area north of the Dwarven District, and find the Portal to Paw'don Village.



Let's recap: Alliance players need to complete the following quests for them to arrive in Pandaria:
The King's Command >>> The Mission

VALE, O MAGICAL VALE OF ETERNAL BLOSSOM... WON'T YOU OPEN UP YOUR GATES AND LET THE LITTLE 'OL ME IN?!

To gain access to the Vale of Eternal Blossom and no longer be teleported to Dalaran the completion of a small quest chain is required.
When you've reached level 87, go to Kun-Lai Summit:
Horde players to Farmhand Ko, at Eastwind Rest, from which you take the Temple of the White Tiger quest

Alliance players must find Farmhand Bo at Westwind Rest, from which you'll have to accept the Temple of the White Tiger quest


Either quest requires you to reach the Temple of the White Tiger, in Kun-Lai Summit, find the main building and speak to Sunwalker Dezco or Anduin Wrynn



NOTE: if the Xuen event is in progress, you will have to wait for it to finish, because for its duration the quest takers are inactive

The next quest is called A Celestial Experience (for Alliance), taken from the NPC you've completed the previous quest. It requires you to speak to Xuen and activate the event, in which you'll have to face against three Spirits

NOTE: this step can be completed along with other players, without a party group required and even if the others are from the opposite faction



NOTE: when the event finished, Xuen has a delay for respawn of about 5-6 minutes

Having completed this step, you will receive the final quest, the one required to unlock the Vale of Eternal Blossom: A Witness to History (for Alliance), for which you need to reach the southern area of Kun-Lai Summit, where the Gate of the August Celestials is located. There you will speak to Sunwalker Dezco or Anduin Wrynn and witness the event and opening of the gates.



Enter the Vale of Eternal Blossom, and go to:
Shrine of Two Moons, find Madam Vee Luo and complete the quest



Shrine of Seven Stars, find Matron Vi Vinh and complete the quest




Let's recap: to gain access to the Vale of Eternal Blossom you need to complete:
Temple of the White Tiger >>> A Celestial Experience >>> A Witness to History
Temple of the White Tiger >>> A Celestial Experience >>> A Witness to History

What happens in case of server/client crash, rollback and other such things? "GM, I've done quest X, but after a rollback I'm missing it from my log and I went back to the NPC and couldn't find it... what do I do?"
Well, in case of server rollback or crashes quests that were completed and turned in won't rollback... those quests remain completed, although the quest rewards (items, reputation etc.) are lost... as such, simply go to the location of the quest giver for the next quest in chain, after the one you've completed last.

NOTE: in case of rollback for A Witness to History, go back to the Temple of the White Tiger, main building, wait for the event to finish - if it is in progress - and take the quest again

THERE'S SOMETHING MORE THAT I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PANDARIA?

LEVELING: my suggestion is doing quests, being a lot easier and rewarding... don't forget to make USE OF THE FREAKZ DATABASE

85-87: The Jade Forest

at 86 you can continue in Jade Forest or switch to either Krasarang Wilds or The Valley of the Four Winds
87-88: Kun-Lai Summit
88-89: Townlong Steppes
89-90: Dread Wastes
NOTE: of course, you could do more than 1 level in each of those areas, so this is just a guideline... personally I would suggest Jade Forest -> Kun-Lai Summit -> Townlong Steppes, for level 85-90


FORBIDDEN ACCESS: we are using the 5.4.8 client, but we're also following a Development Plan, and, as such, some areas are closed, even tough flight masters are available for them:
Isle of Giants will become available in Phase 2
Isle of Thunder will become available in Phase 2
Timeless Isle will become available in Phase 3

NOTE: trying to gain access to these closed zones will teleport you to Dalaran
There is a lot of unavailable content so far, but it will all become available in turns, as mentioned in the Development Plan.
