News Tag: Mists Of Pandaria Classic

Compared to other World of Warcraft games, MoP Classic, with its Eastern-themed theme, exemplified by Pandaren race, has attracted many new players. Furthermore, the game offers enhanced gameplay through scenarios, in addition to regular dungeons and raids.

For ease of understanding, scenarios can be considered miniature dungeons. They require only a three-player party and have no class or role restrictions. You and your teammates need only be level 90 and have a gear level greater than 425 to enter.

Although smaller in scale and more focused on story than challenge, you can still earn WoW MoP Classic gold, Valor Points, or special gear by completing scenarios, as well as completing related achievements.

There are currently six scenarios available in the game, and we previously introduced Theramore's Fall. This article will provide a guide for earning loot in Arena of Annihilation.

Arena Of Annihilation Overview

This scenario begins at Temple of the White Tiger, which you'll need to travel to Kun-Lai Summit to find. Note that if you have time, you can complete the other quests in this location before entering the scenario.

Arena of Annihilation contains multiple bosses, and defeating them is essential to completing the scenario and claiming the rewards.

However, bosses in this scenario won't unlock automatically as you progress, you need to interact with Tiger Temple Gong within the scenario to summon the bosses.

In addition, the character level requirement for entering Arena of Annihilation has been relaxed to 85. After that, you and your teammates can enter Looking for Dungeon system and begin queuing.

As for party role arrangement, since scenarios don't require specific roles, it's generally recommended to team up with three DPS players to complete the scenario by dealing heavy damage as quickly as possible.

How To Complete This Scenario?

After entering Arena of Annihilation, you can officially accept the quest from Wodin Troll-Servant and begin your boss farming journey.

Boss 1: Scar-Shell

This boss is summoned after hitting Tiger Temple Gong for the first time. As the first boss, it's not an enormous challenge, and its main ability throughout the fight is Crushing Bite, making it relatively easy to deal with.

The only caveat is that Scar-Shell will periodically cast Stone Spin, causing it to spin around the perimeter of the room. Occasionally, it will dash through the center and crash into you, dealing significant damage if hit, so be sure to avoid it.

Interestingly, after 12 seconds of spinning, the boss will become stunned, making this the perfect time to focus your attacks.

Boss 2: Jol'Grum

This terrifying creature, known for its Grummle-eating and snow-stalking abilities, will knock everyone to the other side of the arena during the fight and will sometimes target specific players with a Threat Drop.

If you notice this boss casting Angry during the fight, be sure to use skills like Tranquilizing Shot with your teammates to dispel the debuff.

Boss 3: Little Liuyan

This is a fire spirit-type boss. Most of the time, he'll cast Fireball, dealing moderate damage, or Flameline, dealing impact damage and continuous damage to players caught in the flames.

This boss's most powerful skill is Flame Wall, which fills the center of the arena with flames, damaging players within. The boss also summons three minions to form another flame wall on the other side of the arena.

To counter this skill, you'll need to kill the minions while avoiding the effects of the primary skill to dispel the additional flame wall, focusing the fight on Little Liuyan.

Boss 4: Chagan Firehoof

This is a fierce yaungol warrior who fights alongside a yak pet. During the fight, the boss will use Hammer Time to continuously deal area-of-effect damage to your team within melee range.

The boss also uses the ability Trailblaze, creating a temporary line of fire from beneath his feet. You'll need to dodge the line while dealing damage to the boss and his pet.

The Final Stage: Defeat The Final Challenger!

During this stage, you may encounter one of three bosses: Maki Waterblade, Cloudbender Kobo, or Satay Byu (Maki Waterblade seems to be the most likely to appear). Killing the boss completes Arena of Annihilation challenge.

What Rewards Can You Get?

After completing Arena of Annihilation stage, in addition to gold and other available points, you can choose the most suitable piece of gear from the following seven items as a reward:

• Liuyang's Light-Lit Longshank
• Liuyang's Lovely Longstaff
• Satay's Stabbing Sword
• Maki's Mashing Mace
• Jol'Grum's Frozen Mace
• Chagan's Cheery Chopper
• Scar-Shell's Scintillating Staff

What Achievements Are Available?

As you know, Mists of Pandaria Classic features a comprehensive and extensive achievement system. Complete enough achievements to earn additional rewards.

During Arena of Annihilation challenge, the available achievements and their corresponding completion methods are as follows:

• Arena of Annihilation: Complete the entire scenario.
• In the Eye of the Tiger: Defeat each of the three random bosses once during the final stage. Since each boss appears randomly and with varying odds, you may need to farm the scenario multiple times to earn this achievement.
• Beat the Heat: Defeat the third boss, Little Liuyan, without anyone in your party taking damage from Flame Wall.

It's worth noting that there are two optimal ways to earn the third achievement: one is to kill the boss before he casts the skill, and the other is to move out of the inner circle before the skill takes effect and follow Flame Wall in a counterclockwise direction.

That's all for this guide. We hope it helps you complete Arena of Annihilation. Have fun!

In addition to your race and class, you can choose between primary and secondary professions early in your character development. While you have a limited number of primary professions to choose from, you can learn all secondary professions.

Instead of engaging in intense combat, these professions allow you to craft items with buffs, similar to a management game, to aid you and your teammates in combat. These items can also be sold for WoW MoP Classic gold at your leisure.

There are four secondary professions available for learning in the game. While you can choose how many to learn on your own, it's recommended that you master all of them to maximize your potential item buffs.

For this reason, we'll cover all the secondary professions one by one.

1. Cooking

This profession applies to all classes in Mists of Pandaria Classic and grants you and your teammates stat boosts in dungeons and raids, even at max level and equipped with max-level gear.

To learn and level up the cooking skill, you must find the corresponding trainer in Halfhill in Valley of the Four Winds. Their locations are:

• Kol Ironpaw (Master of the Grill) - /way 53.0, 51.4
• Jian Ironpaw (Master of the Oven) - /way 53.2, 51.6
• Mei Mei Ironpaw (Master of the Pot) - /way 52.6, 51.6
• Yan Ironpaw (Master of the Steamer) - /way 52.6, 51.6
• Anthea Ironpaw (Master of the Wok) - /way 52.8, 51.8
• Bobo Ironpaw (Master of the Brew) - /way 53.0, 52.0

The cooking skill allows you to create meals for personal consumption, as well as feasts for your entire party to consume during battle. However, you must obtain the corresponding recipes and gather the ingredients.

How To Obtain The Recipes?

Regular recipes can be taught by Ironpaw Master Chefs at Halfhill Market, exchanged by Ironpaw Tokens from Nam Ironpaw, or found randomly throughout the map after completing Lost and Found achievement.

After reaching cooking skill level 520, you can master skill specializations by completing the quests "So You Want to Be a Chef..." and "Ready for Greatness." There are six specializations, each unlocking five unique recipes.

2. First Aid

As the name suggests, first aid is a supportive profession. Requiring only a few pieces of cloth and a one-second cast time, you can craft bandages in combat to restore approximately 25% of your health and that of your allies.

However, there is an 8-second channeling time associated with using a bandage; if the player being treated moves or takes damage during this time, the healing is interrupted.

In addition, any player treated with a bandage will be affected by Recently Bandaged debuff, preventing them from using bandages again for one minute.

Notably, MoP Classic adds a new fabric, Windwool Cloth, which you can use to craft the new bandages, Windwool Bandage and Heavy Windwool Bandage.

Unlike cooking recipes, which require constant collection, first aid bandage recipes are available from all first aid trainers. They are:

Alliance:

• Angela Leifeld, Stormwind City - /way 52.2, 45.6
• Dannelor, Darnassus - /way 51.6, 12.6
• Nissa Firestone, Ironforge - /way 54.8, 58.6

Horde:

• Arnok, Orgrimmar - /way 34.0, 84.4
• Pand Stonebinder, Thunder Bluff - /way 29.6, 21.6
• Mary Edras, Undercity - /way 73.6, 55.6

3. Fishing

Compared to other secondary professions, fishing doesn't seem to provide much combat benefit, but it's certainly fun to level up and catch rarer fish.

Fishing in Mists of Pandaria Classic doesn't require you to equip a fishing rod, but some rods offer special bonuses that can improve your fishing efficiency.

Another unique aspect of the fishing profession is that it progresses regionally. You must reach a certain fishing level in your current region to obtain rarer fish, otherwise you'll only catch junk or Golden Carp in Pandaria.

Luckily, the base value of Golden Carp is quite good, so you can stay in Pandaria and fish for it until you reach the maximum level, then travel to other regions to fish. It's worth noting that MoP Classic adds new fish to different zones:

• Emperor Salmon: Townlong Steppes, Krasarang Wilds, Valley of the Four Winds, Vale of Eternal Blossoms
• Golden Carp: Anywhere in Pandaria
• Jade Lungfish: Jade Forest
• Jewel Danio: Vale of Eternal Blossoms
• Krasarang Paddlefish: Krasarang Wilds, Valley of the Four Winds, Vale of Eternal Blossoms
• Redbelly Mandarin: Townlong Steppes, Vale of Eternal Blossoms
• Tiger Gourami: Kun-Lai Summit, Veiled Stairs
• Reef Octopus: Krasarang Wilds, Jade Forest

As for fishing trainers, whether Alliance, Horde, or neutral, they're located in all zones, making them easy to find as needed.

To improve your fishing, you'll need to find The Anglers at the docks. They'll randomly assign three quests each day. Completing them will level you up and grant you 500 reputation points. These quests include:

• Armored Carp
• Bright Bait
• Fishing for a Bruising
• Huff & Puff
• Jagged Abalone
• Jumping the Shark
• Like Bombing Fish in a Barrel
• Scavenger Hunt
• Shocking!
• Snapclaw
• Viseclaw Soup
• What Lurks Below
• Who Knew Fish Liked Eggs?

4. Archaeology

This profession is only available when your character reaches level 20. After mastering the archaeology skill from the trainer, a small shovel icon will appear on your map, marking Digsites where you can excavate.

Available trainers are located in:

Alliance:

• Diya, The Exodar - /way 34.6, 66.8
• Doktor Professor Ironpants, Ironforge - /way 75.6, 11.6
• Hammon the Jaded, Darnassus - /way 43.2, 83.6
• Harrison Jones, Stormwind - /way 85.6, 25.8

Horde:

• Adam Hossack, Undercity - /way 76.0, 36.4
• Belloc Brightblade, Orgrimmar - /way 49.0, 79.6
• Elynara, Silvermoon City - /way 81.6, 63.8
• Otoh Greyhide, Thunder Bluff - /way 75.8, 28.0

Neutral:

• Boduro the Seeker, Shattrath - /way 62.5, 70.2
• Brita Bramblebrush, Dalaran - /way 48.5, 38.6

Digsites you can find and the rewards you can dig up depend on your race, with Dwarfs generally having an advantage. Additionally, you must use Survey spell granted by this profession to begin digging.

Once you reach a high enough rank in archaeology, you'll gain access to a variety of combat and non-combat rewards. To increase your rank, you'll need to complete the following tasks:

• Completing a successful survey/dig and find a fragment container: 1 skill point
• Solving a common artifact: 5 skill points
• Solving a rare artifact: 15 skill points

That's the overview of all the secondary professions in WoW Classic MoP. I hope you find it helpful! Have fun!

Although Mists of Pandaria Classic pre-patch launched on July 1 has provided you with a lot of new gameplay, the official Phase 1 is actually more worth looking forward to! It will bring more gameplay, including new dungeons or raids!

It has been confirmed that Phase 1 will be launched on July 21 at the same time as the game, and the phase name is the same as the game (Mists of Pandaria).

If you want to adapt to Phase 1 faster by then, in addition to completing character creation and upgrades as soon as possible during the pre-patch, you should also understand all the new content that will be added in Phase in advance. We will introduce it to you next.

About Level, Class And Profession

First of all, in MoP Classic, you can upgrade your character to max level 90, and every time you reach a special level, you can unlock new talents to further strengthen your character. In order to save as much time as possible, you can upgrade to level 85 during the pre-patch.

On top of that, the game also brings a new Monk class and Pandaren race, but they have already been released in the pre-patch. What Phase 1 really brings is the new profession skill levels and related crafted gear.

The new profession changes mean that no matter what profession you choose to play in MoP Classic WoW in the future, you can use new materials and recipes for items crafting, and trade them for WoW MoP Classic gold you need.

It is worth noting that when you reach the maximum level in the game, you can travel to the capital city in Vale of Eternal Blossoms to learn the new flying skill Wisdom of the Four Winds, which increases your travel speed in subsequent missions.
