New Leveling Zones for Mists of Pandaria

Leveling Your Toon 85-86

You have arrived on Pandaria and start your grandiose new adventures into the newest addition to the World of Warcraft family of MMORPG. You are fresh off the tuna boat and your head is spinning with ideas, first of which will be, “where do I go first?”. For starters you will want to head off to the Jade Forest. This should be pretty simple, since I think it’s the only option, to start out with, also, since it’s set up best for players between level 85 or 86 and. It’s the only real starting zone in the land of Pandaria and fittingly has critters that are of level range that will be perfect for 85-86. Quests of course will also be right up your alley, in the Jade Forest. You will first be in the area where, whatever your faction happens to be, Alliance or Horde, will be gaining a foothold in the land. You will want to quests around that area for a while and then make your way to the Temple of the Jade Serpent (Sounds Mysterious… doesn’t it?) which will be a new instance for MOP. The main questing hub in the Jade Forest is the Dawn’s Blossom which will have quests for both Alliance and Horde. Dawn’s Blossom will also have portals for you to get back to Azeroth in an expedient manner.

When get to around level 86 you are going to end your quests in the Jade Forest area and you will be choosing to carry on to either the Valley of the Four Winds or to the Krasarang Wilds. These zones are best for toons between levels 86 and 88. NPC’s and their quests will have you traversing between the two areas along your journey . I recommend starting in the valley of the four winds, as it seems to flow with the storyline better, but this is just opinion as both options are good ones.

I will be using the in-game leveling guide I written about on this site. Which will have me flying all over many areas in the most efficient way possible, which is too complicated to get into here in this post just now. However, If you don’t want to use an in-game add-on leveling guide and you have top tier raiding gear from Cataclysm 4.3.4, you could work your way straight to this zone on Sep.25th and to try to get the jump of the hordes of players cramming onto the shores of Jade Forest. Do so at your own peril… or great success!

You can make a move out of the previous zones a little early if you feel like it’s the right move for you. If things are too easy for you or if you just want to keep the pedal to the metal. When you do move on to a new area, you will want to move to the Kun-Lai Summit in the northern part of the continent. This zone is huge and you will have no problem working your way from 87 to 88 here. While things are already interesting, this is where the war between the Alliance and Horde really gets come to a boiling point. Both factions will be trying to manipulate the Pandaren and offering their respective brand of help in helping  them out with a problem they are having with a fourth party who is giving the Pandaren let’s say “a hard time”. Both Horde and Alliance factions will take over control of villages of the Pandaren as the story unfolds. The gigantic Shado-Pan Monastery which has both an instance and a raid location is also located in this zone. There are many quests and story lines revolving around the Shado-Pan as well. This is a really cool Instance, but more on that later.

Many more choices will reveal themselves to you at around this time. You can trek your way to the Townlong Steppes or to the Dread Wastes in the western area of the continent or the lovely and aptly named, Vale of Eternal Blossoms which is in the middle of Pandaria.The actual storyline here, if you care about that, really goes from the Townlong Steppes to the Dread Wastes, but, this is WoW. Nobody says we have to do things by the book. I probably won’t be following the exact path, but something similar. since I will be using the most efficient path available as I want to burn through fast. Then go back later and “smell the flowers” so to speak. There are some cool bosses and plot twists in this area, but I don’t want to give away too much just yet.

There are some things you can do to accelerate your leveling speed on your own. If you decide to create a new Pandaren Monk character, or new “any” character for that matter. Try to get your hands on as many Heirloom items as you can as this can shave a ton of time off your leveling to cap. They level up with your character and make for less time spent having to scrounge and buy as much new gear when you could be out leveling up. It’s also important to know the following: What to carry with you, what to leave behind, when to hearthstone, where to find quest items, what they look like, where to find certain quest related creatures, what order in which to receive and complete quests. All these thing and more are important to speed. Having this and much more info and tools right on your screen when I need it is huge for me.
