Mists of Pandara is LIVE


As we know Mists of Pandaria Expansion for World of Warcraft went live today (25th September 2012) on the European Realms, I myself have not yet purchased the expansion as I am currently saving up for it by selling Diablo items, through the GBP Auction.

I have been very fortunate in the past and was recruited onto the Mists of Pandara BETA very early on and so I know the in's and out's of the new expansion pack. 

Even if you have not yet upgraded your account to MOP (Mists of Pandaria) you can still create a Pandarian character and explore part of the new worlds (on the back of a turtle). I spent several hours this morning rolling out a new Pandarian warrior character. I dont really know why I chose a Warrior, maybe because I have never had one. You can still take part in the "Battle Pet" feature, and your battle pets will be spanned across all your characters. Its worth a good look around and its time to have fun with your companions.

What improvements are note-able. 

I have noticed a few new quirks to the game such as no longer needing a mining pick when mining, and no longer need a fishing pole for fishing etc. Which is very useful. Additionally you dont need to keep going back to your class trainer when your character levels up. You will automatically learn new skills and they will be added to your action bar. 

What limitations are there if you dont purchase Mists of Pandaria

There are only three limitations to not having Mists of Pandara, the level cap of your character will be still 85, you wont be able to have a Monk, and you will only be able to explore the starting area of the Pandaria as the portal in your factions main city will not be there for you to access.

Where to buy Mists of Pandaria Expansion

If you still haven't bought Mists of Pandaria you can purchase it from Amazon!

Mists of Pandaria: Farms in Warcraft?

Mists of Pandaria Expansion does have in fact a farming area. By this I mean you can plant crops and harvest them. You will be able to find your own farm instance at an area known as "Valley of the Four Winds". This area is located in the heart of the Pandaria and is also known as the agricultural centre.

If you want to see the guide to farming in Warcraft, please click the link below.
Your Farm: Grow, tend and Harvest Crops



You will meet members of the "Tillers" who are a faction in this area and it is your quest to help them with their failing crops. As you gain reputation with the "Tillers" you will be able to plant crops and clear the fields.

This is also where you will meet an man know as "Chen Stormstout" which will lead you towards the "Stormstout Brewery" which is the dungeon of this area.



Brief overview of Valley of the Four Winds

Valley of the Four Winds is a tranquil plain of lush farmland which is bordered by thick mysterious jungles to the south of the area, and to the north there are high and impassible mountains. 

The Valley of the Four Winds is considered as the "breadbasket" of Pandaria. Which means its the area where the food for the pandaria comes from. 

However this years harvest is in trouble and a terrible malaise has taken over the pandaren that live along the coast of this area. The legendary "Stormstout Brewery" is also located in this area "Chen Stormstout" and his niece "Li Li" hope to venture to this area to discover the location of their long lost ancestors. 

Further information on Valley of the Four Winds

It is a large zone and is for levels 88 - 87. The northern part of this zone is mostly Pandaren farmland filled with rice paddies and to the south there is a very long river and cliffs, here the hills defend into the "Krasarang Wilds". 

Valley of the Four Winds: Dungeons
There is one dungeon located in this area, it is known as the "Stormstout Brewery". 

The Enemy: Mantid

There are enemies known as the "mantid" who make their presence known towards the end of the questing experience. They are found breaking through the wall that used to confine them to the "Dread Wastes".
