News Tag: WoW MoP Classic Phase 2

WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 launched on September 23rd. While Phase 2 might seem underwhelming compared to the numerous raids and activities during Phase 1, it still includes some worthwhile quests, such as Landfall Campaign.

While most of the quests in this campaign take place in PvP-style locations, you'll need to complete them alongside NPCs, so you won't have to worry about difficulty or interference from other players.

The only caveat is that Landfall Campaign is strongly faction-specific, meaning that both the method for unlocking the campaign and the rewards available depend on whether you're from Alliance or Horde.

Below, we'll provide different strategies for completing Landfall Campaign, categorized by faction.

Completing Landfall Campaign - Alliance

Completing Landfall Campaign as soon as possible is recommended, not only because of the new gear you'll receive, but also because it allows you to unlock Pandaria Campaign and the next chapter of your Legendary quest chain.

How To Unlock The Campaign?

Whether you're Alliance or Horde, you must complete a series of prerequisite quests to unlock Landfall Campaign. Below are Alliance-specific quests and the relevant NPCs.

• Meet the Scout: Lyalia, Scout Lynna
• A King Among Men: Marshal Troteman, Hilda Hornswaggle
• Lion's Landing

The final quest requires you to travel to Krasarang Cove and use a flare launcher to signal Alliance fleet, which will then allow you to begin the next step in the campaign.

Note that this also unlocks the ability to earn reputation points for Operation: Shieldwall. As you progress through Landfall Campaign, you'll earn some reputation points, which you can then continue farming to earn reputation level rewards.

How To Complete The Campaign?

Before beginning Landfall Campaign, you must first find and kill three Rares within your faction's camp. This will earn you 500 reputation points with The Black Prince and the faction-exclusive "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" reward.

If you're Alliance, the three Rares and their coordinates are:

• Champion of Arms: Kar Warmaker - Domination Point's East entrance. (/way 13.4 54.8)
• Champion of the Light: Muerta - The left of the inner fortress. (/way 9.6 54.6)
• Champion of the Shadows: Ubunti the Shade - Domination Point Tower. (/way 13.2 66.0)

Rewards for killing them include:

• Blood-Soaked Invitation
• Alliance Insignia of Conquering
• SI:7 Operative's Manual
• Steadfast Footman's Medallion

What Quests Are Required To Complete?

To be honest, completing Landfall Campaign is a lengthy process, as it involves many quests and is tied to your Operation: Shieldwall reputation level. New Landfall Campaign quests unlock at specific reputation levels.

It's important to note that each specific Landfall Campaign task actually includes multiple steps. To save you time, we've listed them below.

• The Man With a Thousand Faces (950 Friendly)
• The Voice of the Gods (4900 Friendly)
• Jaina's Hope (2850 Honored)
• The Korune (6800 Honored)
• Heart of the Alliance (10750 Honored)
• Secrets of the Past (2700 Revered)
• The Divine Bell (6650 Revered)
• The Purge of Dalaran (before 8600 Revered)
• An Ancient Ally (before 14540 Revered)
• In Search of Harmony (before 18500 Revered)
• Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

Completing Landfall Campaign - Horde

If you are a member of Horde, you will need to complete the following quests to unlock the campaign:

• Meet the Scout: Sunwalker Dezco, Scout Rokla.
• The Might of the Warchief: Blood Guard Gro'tash, Grizzle Gearslip.
• Domination Point: Light a signal fire on the beach at Horde landing point to signal Horde fleet.

The new faction for earning reputation with Horde is Dominance Offensive, centered around Krasarang Wilds. You can increase your reputation by completing Landfall Campaign and daily reputation quests.

Where Are The Killable Rares?

For Horde players, in addition to The Black Prince reputation, "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes" rewards for killing three Rares include:

• Blood-Soaked Invitation
• Horde Insignia of Conquering
• Kor'kron Book of Hurting
• Mark of the Hardened Grunt

For specific Rares coordinates, please refer to the following:

• Champion of Arms: Dalan Nightbreaker - Lion's Landing beach. (/way 85.0 27.6)
• Champion of the Light: Disha Fearwarden - One tent inside the fortress. (/way 87.4 29.2)
• Champion of the Shadows: Mavis Harms - On the docks. (/way 84.6 31.0)

Horde Landfall Campaign Quests

Like Alliance, Horde Landfall Campaign quests unlocked are tied to reputation with the new Dominance Offensive faction. These quests include:

• The Voice of the Gods (950 Friendly)
• The Horde Is Family (4900 Friendly)
• Blood For Blood (2850 Honored)
• The Korune (6800 Honored)
• Pride (10750 Honored)
• Rise of the Blood Elves (2700 Revered)
• Secrets of the Past (6650 Revered)
• The Divine Bell (before 8600 Revered)
• The Darnassus Operation (before 14540 Revered)
• The Purge of Dalaran (before 18500 Revered)
• Breath of Darkest Shadow (Exalted)

Whether you're from Horde or Alliance, with completing Landfall Campaign, will have maximized your reputation with your new faction, and help you earn the associated reputation rewards and achievements.

It's worth noting that Operation: Shieldwall is essentially a counterpoint to Dominance Offensive, so you can engage in PvP combat against members of the opposing faction within Krasarang Wilds to earn additional rewards.

This concludes the main guide for completing Landfall Campaign in WoW MoP Classic for each faction. This is a long-term campaign, so take your time and enjoy the game!

Completing quests in Landfall Campaign may require you to collect and submit specific materials. While these materials can be obtained through foraging or combat drops, farming them can be quite tedious.

To save time and complete the campaign quickly, you can buy cheap WoW MoP Classic gold on IGGM and then use that gold to buy the materials you need to complete the quests faster!

While WoW MoP Classic Phase 2 doesn't add new raids, Krasarang Wilds Campaign and Brawler's Guild remain challenging. Therefore, choosing a specific build is crucial to maximize your advantage in this new phase.

If you're out of ideas, our Shadow Priest build guide is here to help.

Why did we choose Shadow Priest to kick off MoP Classic Phase 2? It's because of their powerful sustained damage, excellent multi-target abilities, a more cohesive gameplay loop thanks to the improved Shadow Orbs system, and the damage and healing buffs from the Twist of Fate talent.

These mechanics work together to allow Shadow Priest to deal sustained damage to multiple enemies. Combined with their high survivability and utility, they're a top-tier class in the later stages of Mists of Pandaria Classic.

Talents

As for Talent system, Shadow Priest's versatility allows us to tailor it to the type of content we're playing, whether it's daily quests, PvP, or raids, especially when more mobility or specific defensive or offensive support is needed.

Tier 1

• Void Tendrils: A powerful choice for pulling multiple targets, as it roots them while allowing you to continue dealing damage while moving.
• Dominate Mind: Controls the target's mind, temporarily placing them under Yogg-Saron's control and reducing their Sanity by 4%. This can be used to control adds in specific situations.

Tier 2

• Angelic Feather: A very powerful movement speed boost option, providing excellent positioning flexibility.
• Body and Soul: Significantly increases the movement speed of the target of a Power Word: Shield or Leap of Faith for a period of time. Once cast on a target, this talent grants them a 60% movement speed bonus for 4 seconds, making it very useful for quickly evading or repositioning.
• Phantasm: Provides a movement speed boost after using Fade, making it very useful in certain encounters.

Tier 3

• Solace and Insanity: Often the best choice for increased damage, as it significantly boosts your Mind Flay's damage while Devouring Plague is active.
• From Darkness, Comes Light: A viable alternative to Mind Spike's instant trigger, effectively increasing burst damage.
• Mindbender: A good mana regeneration option after your Shadowfiend is enhanced.

Tier 4

• Angelic Bulwark: A powerful passive defensive ability that can save you when your health drops below 30%.
• Desperate Prayer: An active defensive ability that provides healing, useful when you need more burst healing.

Tier 5

• Twist of Fate: A great choice for a Tier 5 talent, providing a significant damage and healing boost, primarily refreshed by spot-killing low-health targets.
• Divine Insight: This makes the next Mind Blast active immediately after Shadow Word: Pain triggers, costing no mana. This talent is highly competitive in high-mobility fights where mana management and maximum damage are crucial.
• Power Infusion: This skill is more suited for supporting other players and tends to fall short of Twist of Fate for individual DPS.

Tier 6

• Halo: A default choice for most fights, providing decent damage and a short cooldown.
• Divine Star: A powerful alternative with a short cooldown, instant cast time, and immunity to Shadow Lock.
• Cascade: Ideal for maximizing area pressure in certain comps.

Attribute Prioritization

For Shadow Priests in MoP Classic WoW, prioritizing gear with higher Intellect stats is optimal, followed by Hit, Spirit, and Expertise to reach the 15% hit cap. Haste, Mastery, and finally Critical Strike are crucial.

• Intellect: This is the primary stat for Shadow Priest, so try to choose gear with the highest item level to boost it.
• Hit/Spirit/Expertise: Aim for a total hit chance of 15% to cap your hit rating. However, note that once you exceed this cap, the benefits provided by these stats diminish.
• Haste: This increases your casting speed and the frequency of DoT spells.
• Mastery: Gives your periodic shadow damage spells a chance to deal bonus damage.
• Critical Strike: Increases the critical strike chance of your spells and damage over time effects, and summons Shadowy Apparitions when Shadow Word: Pain triggers a critical strike.

BiS Gear Setup

Shadow Priest's BiS gear choices vary by stage. If you have plenty of WoW MoP Classic Gold, aim for Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle and Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards from Terrace of Endless Spring Raid. You can also consider using August Stone Fragments from Celestial Dungeons as pre-raid BiS gear.

Note that your attribute weights will change as you acquire new gear, so it's best to use a gear simulator to find the best options for your character before equipping them.

Here are our recommended items. For the rest, you can choose your own items based on your playstyle and the type of content you're looking to play:

• Neck: Korven's Amber-Sealed Beetle
• Shoulders: Guardian Serpent Shoulderguards
• Cloak: Cloak of Overwhelming Corruption
• Chest: Guardian Serpent Raiment
• Waist: Belt of Malleable Amber
• Legs: Dreadwoven Leggings of Failure
• Trinkets: Relic of Yu'lon

That's it for the complete guide to Shadow Priest in WoW Classic's Mists of Pandaria Phase 2. While it's slightly inferior in single-target damage and may require more gear to be truly competitive in high-end raids, Shadow Priest is still a solid choice for players who enjoy a dynamic and complex playstyle.

If you really want to collect all the equipment as quickly as possible and build the most powerful Shadow Priest, then this will definitely test your funds. However, you can check out cheap IGGM WoW Classic MoP gold for sale page, where there is enough safe gold to meet your needs immediately!

With the launch of Phase 2, Brawlers Guild was finally added to the game. Brawlers Guild was once a popular feature, primarily focused on solo PvE, where players repeatedly challenged bosses, akin to a boss rush.

While not a group raid, Brawlers Guild was nonetheless quite challenging, requiring players to adapt to unique and often deadly boss mechanics, and its complexity increased with increasing levels. While lower levels might be manageable with just a good item level, reaching the highest levels can be a significant challenge.

How To Access Brawlers Guild?

Players seeking access to Brawlers Guild need to obtain a Blood-Soaked Invitation first. Currently, there are two ways to obtain it, while there is another way to enter Brawlers Guild directly:

• 1. Dropped by elite wild monsters, especially rare monsters associated with Krasarang Wilds, which have a chance to drop an Invitation.
• 2. Black Market Auction House sometimes lists invitations with a starting valule of 1,000 WoW MoP Classic gold, so you may need to prepare more.
• 3. In addition to receiving a Blood-Soaked Invitation, you can also enter Brawlers Guild through invitations from other players. After reaching Rank 7, other players will receive a Brawler's Pass, which they can then transfer to you.

Regardless of how you gain access to Brawlers Guild, your other accounts will automatically be eligible.

Brawlers Guild Entrance

The entrance to Brawlers Guild is different for Alliance and Horde players:

Locations vary by faction:

• Horde: The entrance is in Brawl'gar Arena in Orgrimmar, north of Valley of Honor.
• Alliance: The entrance is at Bizmo's Brawlpub in Stormwind, on the lower level of Deeprun Tram.

Brawlers Guild Bosses

Brawlers Guild has seven ranks and 28 bosses. As you rank up, the enemies become increasingly difficult. So, if you want to challenge higher levels, you'll need to adjust your gear and spend some Mists of Pandaria Classic gold at Auction House to prepare potions and items based on the boss's damage.

Rank 1

Bruce

The most threatening skill is Chomp Chomp. It deals high damage within melee range, but it has a 1.5s cast time, so be mindful of its cast bar.

Vian The Volatile

A flaming area will appear on the field, gradually taking up the combat space. Focus all your skills on it from the start; you won't be able to prolong the fight.

Goredome

It will cast Lumbering Charge, which appears as a red circle within its damage range. Keep moving and quickly escape once you see the circle appear. Melee fighters should also be aware of their changing positions.

Dungeon Master Vishas

This boss's Hot Poker buff grants him extremely high damage. You can kite him with abilities like slow or crowd control (he can be stunned).

Rank 2

Dippy

Dippy has a one-hit-kill magic attack, but he struggles to maintain stability on the ground. You can interrupt his abilities with instant/auto attacks, but avoid cornering him, as this may cause him to use his magic.

Kirrawk

Kirrawk will summon tornadoes to throw you up or disrupt your position. You'll need to dodge these tornadoes to maintain the tempo of the fight, and adjust your position when dodging.

Fran And Riddoh

Fran will throw mines everywhere, while Riddoh will trap you with a net. If Fran dies, Riddoh will go berserk, dealing +250% damage. Fran will also throw explosives more frequently after Riddoh dies.

It's best to maintain a healthy balance between the two bosses, avoid destroying one too quickly, and avoid bombs.

King Kulaka

King Kulaka's melee attacks deal considerable damage. Ranged classes can kite him continuously, while melee classes should use defensive skills to stall and spread out their attacks.

Rank 3

Blat

Blat creates multiple clones. While these clones don't deal much damage, they can be disruptive. The real one usually moves faster or has quicker skill responsiveness. Focus your fire on the real one while slowing down the other clones.

Sanoriak

Sanoriak has abilities like Flame Buffet (which stacks flames) and Firewall. Prioritize interrupting Flame Buffet, as Firewall usually leaves a safe gap.

Ixx

The only skill you need to avoid is Devastating Thrust. Avoid standing in front of it; quickly move past or around to the side and back while it's casting. This may cause splash damage, but you can use potions.

Mazhareen

As Mazhareen's health decreases, its attack power, and frequency may increase. Therefore, conserve your abilities until it reaches low health, then burst out as quickly as possible to instantly kill it.

Rank 4

Crush

Crush has a charge and stun (which also stuns itself), with a brief period of increased damage. Predict the direction of the charge and dodge, then use the short stun period to deal damage.

Leona Earthwind

Leona Earthwind's Earthling Seed summons minions, while Solar Beam silences you. Both are tricky abilities. You'll need to be quick to kill minions and avoid Solar Beam, looking for openings.

Dominika The Illusionist

Dominika the Illusionist will constantly split and create illusions. Use AoE skills to prioritize killing the illusions, then simultaneously focus on the real one.

Deeken

Deeken's primary skill is Electric Bubble, which creates a static field. As long as you can avoid it, you can easily squeeze it.

Rank 5

Millie Watt

This boss has some mechanics to be aware of. Her explosives also create a static field, and when she uses Megafantastic Discombobumorphanator, it stuns you for 15 seconds, but it dissipates after you take damage. So when she uses this skill, actively enter the field and take some damage to avoid being disabled.

Fjoll

Fjoll's field generates purple flames and can push you into danger. You need to be mindful of your positioning and utilize your movement skills.

Proboskus

Proboskus's damage is high, but it's not difficult to deal with. Torrent (a channeled skill) can be interrupted, and Rain Dance can be avoided by moving.

Fleasy / Greazy / Queasy / Sleezy / Wheezy

Okay, this is a small siege. Five gnomes will attack you simultaneously, and you need to reduce them quickly, so start with Queasy, who has the lowest health. These gnomes will stack damage on you, so you need to keep your distance for 5 seconds to reduce the stacks.

Rank 6

Akama

Akama will summon adds and unleash abilities like Chain Lightning and Shadow Strikes. Shadow Strikes provide powerful buffs, so interrupt them. If you don't, avoid her subsequent attacks.

Unguloxx

Keep your kiting to avoid high melee damage. Use stun or self-protection skills when necessary to stall. Balance defense and damage within the tight enrage timer.

Yikkan Izu

Prioritize clearing the first wave of Ravens while interrupting Disorienting Shriek, or you'll almost certainly die. While controlling the adds, maintain consistent damage on the boss.

Smash Hoofstomp

First, kill two Goblins to reach 100% damage amplification, then move behind them to deal damage when they cast Shield Wall.

Rank 7

Bo Bobble & Max Megablast

Stay close to Bo Bobble and use Max Megablast (red circle) to guide and hit Bo. Repeat until the shared health bar is depleted.

Dark Summoner

Use the overhead light to pin down the ghosts and quickly kill them. Then attack the boss. Repeat until the boss is down, taking care not to be instantly killed by Ghosts.

Battletron

Go all out when it summons Mines (a free damage window). If you can detonate the mines, you can force it to re-summon. Overall, it's a tight DPS check with a 2-minute enrage.

Meatball

Hiting the boss will drop Orbs. Collect them until you reach 40 stacks of the buff (400% damage), then initiate a burst and kill it before the 1-minute enrage.

Completing the 28 boss battles will prove you're a great warrior, and while these battles won't directly reward you with MoP Classic Gold, rewards like The Brassiest Knuckle, The Brassiest Knuckle, and Brawler's Burly Mushan Beast are clearly more valuable.

Patch 5.5.1 of Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 2 has been announced, titled Landfall, and will be released on September 23rd. While this isn't a major update compared to Phase 1, with no new raids, it does include some noteworthy new content, including the new Brawler's Guild and the upcoming PvP activities and quests in Krasarang Wilds Campaign.

Since the game's release, there hasn't been much PvP activity on MoP Classic servers, which has been a bummer. However, Phase 2's PvP updates and full cross-server support for Group Finder make participating in PvP easier than ever.

Additionally, level 496 items can now be obtained through the new faction in Krasarang Wilds PvP zone. Landfall also introduces PvE and PvP gear upgrades, allowing you to upgrade your favorite gear by spending Justice Points. This means you can craft epic gear that's perfect for your build without investing tons of WoW MoP Classic gold!

So, here we want to talk about gear upgrades in WoW MoP Classic Phase 2, which is clearly one of the fastest ways to boost your character's damage after the update.

PvP & PvE Gear Upgrades

If you've acquired PvE gear using Valor Points in dungeons and raids, you can upgrade it using Justice Points. However, if you own PvP gear, you can only upgrade it using Honor Points.

Both PvE and PvP items can be upgraded by 8 item levels. PvE items are upgraded in two steps, each increasing by 4 item levels. Each item level increase counts as a 1% power increase, so each item actually increases its power by 8% in total.

Points Required For Upgrades

So, let's talk about the actual number of points you need to upgrade.

PvE Gear

Each upgrade for Epic PvE items requires 1,000 Justice Points, meaning if you have 16 slots total, or if you're a Warrior with a two-handed weapon and 15 slots, you'll need at least 32,000 or 30,000 Justice Points, respectively, to fully upgrade each item.

But the problem is, you can only have 4,000 Justice Points at a time. So, what's the best way to solve this problem?

Actually, there's a new exchange method where you can convert 125 Valor Points into 500 Justice Points, a 4:1 exchange rate. This means that for every Valor Point you earn, you'll receive 4 Justice Points.

So, if you've already accumulated 4,000 Justice Points before WoW MoP Classic Phase 2, you only need to have 7,000 Valor Points to fully upgrade your gear. This can be easily accomplished by using this new redemption method to convert them into Justice Points.

You can obtain a Commendation of Justice from Commander Oxheart in Siege of Niuzao Temple for 125 Valor Points, which grants you 500 Justice Points.

So on September 23rd, you can go to this vendor, spend your 7,000 Valor Points to acquire all Commendations, and then travel to the item upgrader next to Reforger in Shrine to upgrade your gear.

Just be careful not to exceed the redemption limit, as this will waste your hard-earned Valor Points.

PvP Gear

However, there's a slight difference with PvP gear. In patch 5.5.1, epic PvP gear will no longer be upgradeable because of concerns about disruptive mid-season upgrades and an attempt to balance player gear upgrade pressure. However, this adjustment only applies to epic PvP gear.

Rare PvP gear can be upgraded once, in increments of 8 item levels, from 457 to 465, at a cost of 1,000 Honor Points.

Assuming you have 12 slots, you'll need to spend at least 12,000 Honor Points to upgrade this piece of PvP gear to the highest item level.

Alternatively, you can obtain a Commendation of Honor from Commander Oxheart vendor for 125 Conquest Points. This converts 125 Conquest Points into 500 Honor Points, a 4:1 exchange rate.

Since our weekly Honor Points cap is also 4,000, this means we'll need 2,000 Conquest Points on top of that to upgrade our rare PvP gear.

How To Earn Valor Points And Conquest Points?

Earning Valor Points is actually quite easy, as we still have three resets worth of Valor Points before the patch.

So, even if you've used up all your Valor Points, you can still accumulate 4,800 Valor Points before Phase 2. Add to that the 1,600 Valor Points you'll earn after the patch cap increases, and you'll have 6,400 Valor Points by the time the patch releases.

If you've already spent a lot of Valor Points on your alts, don't worry; you can quickly catch up and get all the gear upgrades you want.

To earn enough Conquest Points before Phase 2 begins, you can earn them by participating in Arena and Rated Battlegrounds events in MoP Classic WoW, winning daily Random Battlegrounds, completing weekly PvP quests in Adventurer's Journal, and participating in Battleground Blitz events.

Notably, victories in Arena and Rated Battlegrounds will also reward you with more Conquest Points and help increase your weekly Conquest limit.

That's everything you need to know about upgrading items in WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Phase 2. This is a great opportunity to boost your character's potential, so hurry up and collect these special points to help your warrior dominate Azeroth!

With only about three weeks left in Phase 1 of WoW MoP Classic, Pandaria will soon be seeing some new changes.

While Phase 2 doesn't include any new endgame content like raids or dungeons, Horde and Alliance players are undoubtedly still very interested in its content and release date. Let's take a look at the details below.

Release Date

The official release date and content for Phase 2 of Mists of Pandaria Classic were suddenly announced a while ago. Phase 2 will launch the week of September 23rd, suggesting a scheduled release date. While it could be pushed back a day or two, it's unlikely to be too far off.

This is primarily because Phase 2 is essentially a filler phase, lacking any new raid content. Its primary purpose is to provide transitional content between the current Mogu'shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, and Terrace of Endless Spring raids and the next major raid, Throne of Thunder.

Main Content

PvE Content

Brawler's Guild

The main feature of this update is Brawler's Guild, a single-player PvE challenge mode where players engage in 1v1 battles against various bosses. Brawler's Guild has seven levels and a total of 28 bosses.

To unlock Brawler's Guild, you need a Blood-Soaked Invitation, which you can obtain through Black Market Auction House. If you prefer not to use MoP classic gold, you can also farm rare monsters in Krasarang Wilds or have a friend invite you.

Brawler's Guild rewards primarily consist of toys, transmogrifications, and an heirloom fist weapon. There's no powerful PvE gear, so players who prefer raiding can opt out.

Scenarios

Five new scenarios have been added. These scenarios will serve as a source of catch-up gear for alts when Heroic mode is released.

The five available scenarios are as follows:

• Lion's Landing (Alliance)
• Domination Point (Horde)
• Assault on Zan'vess (Both Factions)
• A Little Patience (Both Factions)
• Dagger in the Dark (Both Factions)

Legendary Cloak Questline Chapter 2

This Legendary Cloak Questline consists of five chapters, one unlocked during each phase. The second phase unlocks the questline called Wrathion's War. Completing this quest will grant you an Eye of the Black Prince, which grants an additional Prismatic Socket for any Sha-affected weapon.

• To unlock this quest, you must complete the first chapter of the questline.
• You must have reached Revered with Black Prince.
• You must have unlocked Lion's Landing or Domination Point.
• Some quests require you to eliminate soldiers from the opposing faction, which may involve some PvP.
• Requires completing Silvershard Mines.
• The most time-consuming part is earning 3,000 Valor Points.

PvP Content

The PvP content updates are minimal. First, a new group finder has been added, adding new cross-server grouping functionality for PvP activities, making it easier for players to form PvP teams quickly.

Second, separate achievements have been created for 2v2 and 3v3: one for Malevolent Gladiator (2v2) and another for Gladiator (3v3). Players who achieve strong performance in 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 in a single season and who have achieved Malevolent Gladiator achievement will receive the new Undisputed Gladiator title.

Quality Of Life Improvements

Reputation

When you reach Revered reputation with the Black Prince faction, Blacktalon Quartermaster will sell Black Prince Grand Commendation (requires approximately 40 Mists of Pandaria classic gold). You can mail items to your sub-characters to help them reach reputation faster and complete Legendary questlines.

Gear Upgrade System

PvE gear upgrades have been changed from Valor Points to the more easily accessible Justice Points. Each piece of epic PvE gear can be upgraded twice, increasing its item level by four points each time, costing 500 Justice Points per upgrade (2000 Poins in total).

Players can also convert Valor Points into Justice Points at a 1:4 ratio. Commander Oxheart at Niuzao Temple will sell Commendations of Justice, their value 125 Valor Points, and could be transformed to 500 Justice Points.

This allows players to convert unused Valor Points into Justice Points needed for upgrades quickly. Players can upgrade all their gear more freely without having to save Valor Points carefully. Simply grinding Heroic dungeons to level up their gear is a great option quickly, and expect a large influx of players into Heroic dungeons on the day of the update.

PvP gear has also received the same changes. At the Phase 2, PvP gear can be upgraded for 1,000 Honor Points instead of 750 Conquest Points. Merchants from each faction will also sell Commendations of Honor, allowing you to convert Conquest Points into Honor Points.

Experience Buffs

The experience bonus provided by guild reputation has been significantly increased from 10% to 65%, significantly speeding up alt-leveling, returning it to the original 5.3 patch level.

HD Texture Pack

Phase 2 will also add an optional HD texture pack to Mists of Pandaria, improving the game's visuals. Players with less advanced equipment can opt out of it.

Overall, Phase 2 will appeal to players who enjoy solo challenges, PvP, and alt-leveling. For players whose primary focus is raiding, equipment upgrades and Legendary questline slot rewards are available. Phase 2 is a very positive update, especially the equipment upgrade system and experience buffs. This allows catching-up players to save a lot of time and WoW MoP classic gold, but it is uncertain whether this convenient equipment upgrade system will be removed after Throne of Thunder raid is opened, just like the original version.
