Beta
SCREEN SHOT YOUR ACTIONS BARS FOR A LVL 85 MONK AND COPIES IT AT LIVE
ZONE MAP, CIRCLE VENDORS, QUEST HUBS, RARESPAWNS
First time levelling, take Pandaria slowly, do generic questing at a steady pace, taking note to quests, were items dropped, what to do on a quest, mob abilities etc, print out a Map of Pandaria label vendors etc.
Second time levelling, take your time again, but this time do quests in a different order look for shortcuts, go to different zones, make it different and see if it took you longer than you expected or not.
3rd time this is the real deal, Do it as fast as you can, and then again, and again get your route etched into your brain! By the time of launch you should know where every mob is and where to find a quest item or vendor.
IMPORTANT SAVE ONE OR TWO CHARACTERS FOR THE LAST DAYS OF BETA, SO YOU REFRESH YOUR MIND ON THE QUESTING PATH!
Panda Start zone
IMPORTANT! ALL PANDAREN START WITH FOOD IN THIER BAG, USE IT!
EQUIP HEIRLOOMS! SWIFTNESS POTIONS AT LEVEL 5
• Do the same again as above, remember take your time, and learn the quests the first time around.
• Second time, look for shortcuts, generally same as first time around
• Third time, FULL SPEED AHEAD! Use ROLL when you can EQUIP HEIRLOOMS AND USE SWIFTNESS POTIONS.
• Then, delete your toon, and beat your time again and again.
Upon Launch
HAVE ALL GRAPHICAL AND SOUND SETTING SET TO LOW AS POSSIBLE (TO REDUCE LOADING TIMES)
Minimal add-ons (again, reduce loading times)
• Be logged out minutes before launch (Make sure 2nd account with RAF is logged in! (give all heirlooms etc to one of these toons, keep a toon next to mailbox)
• Have password inputted ready (press enter as soon and MOP goes live)
• Iog in, create Pandaren monk ASAP
• log in to monk, equip heirlooms
• Go! Go! Go! Complete Pandaren start zone using roll when possible and use as many shortcuts as you can. DO NOT LOOT MOBS UNLESS ITS FOR A QUEST, ITS WASTING TIME AND BAG SPACE
• Skip cut scenes were possible
IMPORTANT! AS SOON AS YOU CHOOSE YOUR FACTION, JOIN YOUR GUILD FOR XP AND FP BENEFIT!
After leaving start zone
• Turn in the quest at the king
• Run, roll or something (lock summon) to the stormwind mount vendor.
• GRANT LEVELS! DO NOT SORT OUT ACTION BARS YET!
• Pick up quests for cataclysm zones.
• AS YOU ARE FLYING FROM A-B SORT YOUR ACTION BARS
• Quest cataclysm zones (again skip cut scenes) DO NOT LOOT MOBS UNLESS ITS FOR A QUEST
• As soon as you level e.g. 82 DO NOT finish the zone move on to deepholme there is more xp here.
AS SOON AS YOU’RE IN CATACLYSM ZONES, USE FLAKS, SCROLLS, JOURNALS, AND SWIFTNESS POTIONS ETC! SET HEARTHSTONE
