Fastest way from Orgrimmar to Monk starting zone?

[Deleted]

So, how is the fastest way to get from Orgrimmar (Or any Cata area) to the new starting zones of the Monks? Planning on getting my engineer to get there fast so I can set up a mailbox where you spawn as a Monk to get my heirlooms asap

... you can't go there.

And besides you can get to a mailbox at like level 2.

Not the panderan starting area. There's no mailbox until you get to Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

Clearly you haven't played the Pandaren starting zone.

Zero.... what do I win?

Yes there is. Unless they've removed it.

Got a level 40 pandaren monk so I'm pretty certain I have.

1) I don't think non-starting Pandaren can reach the zone

2) IIRC you won't be able to get/send mail until you have chosen a side (for obvious reasons)

the pandaren starting zone originally had a mailbox (i would know, i levelled my first monk from level 1, heirlooms the entire way). they took it out, presumably, to ensure that people tested the starting zone according to what fresh players would experience, and not have data inflated by heirloom'd out toons. there is a very good chance that the mailbox will return in live.

as for actually getting there from azeroth? that's impossible, as it's a one-way trip off the island, just like the goblin starting zone.

edit: and to anyone saying "they won't do it cuz it will enable cross-faction mailing problems, this is also incorrect. It functioned previously as if you were a member of the opposing faction: i.e. only accout-bound items were actually allowed to be sent.

1. You mean the Pandaren starting area, not the Monk starting area. Monks, as a non-Hero class, do not have a starting area of their own.

2. Like the Worgen and Goblin starting areas, the Pandaren starting area is wholly sequestered from the rest of Azeroth. The only way in is to create a Pandaren, and the only way out is when you pick a faction at the end of the questline. Non-Pandaren can't enter it at all under any circumstances, and Pandaren can never return once they leave.

heirlooms are gonna have an heirloom tab come MoP - or at least, that was supposedly the plan

so you wont need to mail them to your panda at all.

They did remove the mailboxes. Though I suspect it is just for beta. Because they wanted the quest rewards to be tested out, and people were heirlooming up their beta pandaren and not even testing the mob difficulties. So I believe it is merely a temporary removal.

Yep, that was confirmed by me as well. Couldn't mail some bag and gold to my test pandaren. And I don't got heirlooms so didn't mail any to her. So yeah there were safeguards already in place. When I tried it said "That character is not a part of your faction" error.

Like others have said, The Wandering Isle is like Kezan/Gilneas. Gotta start there to get there, and no way back once you leave.

First of all, there is no Monk starting zone. Monks start with the rest of their race.


Pandaren, meanwhile, cannot receive non-heirloom items until they choose a faction. But they do have a mailbox already at level 2-3.

In the event that the OP actually did mean Monk, and not Pandaren, then there's nothing for him to worry about. His new monk will start in whatever the normal start zone for his chosen race will be, mailboxes and all.
