WoW MOP Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 600


This WoW Enchanting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 600. Updated for WoW patch 5.0.5
You will spend a lot of gold on this profession if you want to buy every materials from the Auction House. It depends on the realm economy, but can cost up to thousands of gold.
Enchanting really goes well with Tailoring, if you level Tailoring and Enchanting at the same time, you can disenchant most of the cloths you make, but it's good with any other crafting/gathering profession.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 90 in 7 days with this guide.

Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 50

Before you start this Enchanting guide, first lets see which items gives what, when you disenchant it. Go to myDisenchanting Guide, there you can find all the information you need.
Visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Enchanting.
Check out my Enchanting guide 1-110. It's about leveling Enchanting from 1 to 110 with almost no cost at all.
I also recommend you to go to the Auction House right now and search for the following recipe: [Formula: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina]
You should put most enchants on a Vellum if you can afford it, then try to sell the enchant at the Auction House. You can buy [Enchanting Vellum] from the Enchanting Supply vendors near your trainer.

50 - 135

Learn Enchanting Journeyman.
  • 90-100
    10 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Stamina] - 30 Strange Dust
    • If the Strange Dust is cheap and the Greater Magic Essence is too expensive on your realm, you can make this Enchant up to 120.

135 - 220

Learn Enchanting Expert.
  • 155-185
    40 x [Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength] 80 Soul Dust
    • This one turns yellow at 165, however if 2 Soul Dust is a lot cheaper than 1 Lesser Mystic Essence, keep making these until 185. If it's not then at 165 switch to:
    165-185
    20 x [Enchant Bracer: Spirit] - 20 Lesser Mystic Essence

220 - 275

Learn Enchanting Artisan.
  • 250-260
    10 x [Lesser Mana Oil] - 30 Dream Dust, 20 Purple Lotus, 10 Crystal Vial
    Recipe sold by Kania at Silithus.
    You can make [Enchanted Thorium Bar] as an alternative if you don't have Purple Lotus. The recipe will be yellow when you learn it and it turns green at 255, but it is pretty cheap to make. You can also just continue to make the previous recipe up to 265.
  • 265-300
    40 x [Enchant Shield: Greater Stamina] - 200 Dream Dust
    Recipe location - Watch out! This one binds when picked up. Don't make the mistake of trying to buy it with an alt and mail it. It's also a limited supply item, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you.
    • Check the Auction House and if 2 [Small Brilliant Shard] is cheaper than 5 [Dream Dust] then go to Winterspring and find Qia then buy the recipe [Formula: Enchant Chest - Major Health] and make the enchant until you run out of Shards, or when you reach 300. The recipe requires Enchanting skill 275 to learn, so you will need some Dream Dust between 265-275 to make the Shield enchant.

300 - 350

  • 320-330
    12 x [Enchant Gloves - Assault] - 96 Arcane Dust
    If Arcane Dust is expensive on your realm, or you don't want to level with a yellow recipe because it's based on luck how many skill points you gain, then you should make the following recipe:
    10 x [Enchant Chest - Major Spirit] - 20 Greater Planar Essence
  • 330-335
    5 x [Enchant Shield - Major Stamina] - 75 Arcane Dust
    Recipe sold by Madame Ruby at Shattrath City. While you are here, you should also buy the next two recipe in the guide. Do not leave Outland until you bought them. Just click on the links below and see where they are. Superior Wizard Oil is also sold by Madame Ruby.
  • 335-340
    5 x [Enchant Shield - Resilience] - 5 Large Prismatic Shard, 20 Lesser Planar Essence
    There is an alternative really cheap method, but only Blood Elves can benefit from it. Due to their Racial Ability it allows them to gain ten free skill ups by converting a Large Prismatic Shard into three Small Prismatic Shards and back again. Only the conversion from one Large Prismatic Shard to three Small Prismatic Shards is effected by this. Therefore, you will only have the chance to gain skill ups half of the time (since the other half of the time you'll be converting back to three Small Prismatic Shards). This can make for a fairly lengthy session in gaining your ten free levels.
    What you need:
    [Formula: Large Prismatic Shard] - Sold by these NPCS.
    [Formula: Small Prismatic Shard] - You learn this from your trainer.
  • 340-350
    15 x [Superior Wizard Oil] - 45 Arcane Dust, 15 Nightmare Vine, 15 Crystal Vial - Recipe location
    This recipe is yellow already when you learn it, so you might need to make 14-16.

350 - 425


425 - 500

Visit your trainer and learn Enchanting Illustrious Grand Master.
From this point you should really try to put most enchants on a Vellum, then try to sell the enchant at the Auction House.
  • 485-490
    5 x [Enchant Gloves - Greater Expertise] - 25 Hypnotic Dust, 10 Greater Celestial Essence
    You can also start making the next recipe in the guide if you want to, and skip this part. It depends on the price of Greater Celestial Essence.
Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.
You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests.

500 - 600

Visit your trainer and learn Zen Enchanting.
  • 551-557
    Make 2 Ring Enchants - 4 Spirit Dust
I hope you liked this Enchanting guide, congratulations to 600!

MOP Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1 - 600


This WoW Jewelcrafting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Jewelcrafting skill up from 1 to 600. Updated for WoW patch 5.0.5
Powerleveling your Jewelcrafting won't be cheap. Make sure you have enough gold, even if you have Mining. The best thing you can do is to try to sell the items you make, just put them on the Auction House. A lot of level 85 players are willing to buy low level items for their alt. If you can't sell something just try to disenchant it, and sell the shards/dust.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 90 in 7 days with this guide.
Jewelcrafting is the best combined with Mining or the other option is Enchanting. Check out the Mining leveling guide or the Enchanting leveling guide if you want to level any of those professions. When you choose mining, you can save a lot of gold because you can gather the materials, but it will take a lot of time. With Enchanting, you can Disenchant the items you make.
Jewelcrafting guide sections:
Apprentice 1 - 50
Journeyman 50 - 150
Expert 150 - 200
Artisan 200 - 300
Master 300 - 350
Grand Master 350 - 425
Illustrious 425 - 500
Zen 500 - 600

Approximate Materials Required for 1-600

IMPORTANT! Do not buy all of the materials at once! Jewelcrafting is really expensive to level, and on most servers the Auction House is screwed up because of the insanely high prices of low level Gems, Orbs and Bars. I usually have a few tips and alternative recipes so you can save some gold.
  • 100 Copper Bar
  • 20 Tigerseye or 20 Malachite
  • 120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar
  • 60 Shadowgem OR 20 Shadowgem and 20 Small Lustrous Pearl
  • 80 Heavy Stone
  • 30 Moss Agate / 60 Lesser Moonstone for Horde
  • 140 Mithril Bar
  • 80 Solid Stone
  • 25 Citrine
  • 15 Truesilver Bar
  • 5 Aquamarine
  • 50 Thorium Bar
  • 10 Star Ruby
  • 20 Large Opal
  • 7 Azerothian Diamond
  • 3 Blue Sapphire
  • 3 Essence of Undeath
  • 20 Huge Emerald
Burning Crusade
  • 55 green gems OR 40 and 15 Black Diamond - You can find a list of green gems here. Don't buy all of them from one kind because there might be some recipes which you don't have the reputation for to buy it, so you will have to choose other green gems. Just buy them when you get to that part of the Jewelcrafting guide.
  • 40 Adamantite Powder (200 Adamantite Ore)
  • 10 Primal Earth
  • 10 Adamantite Bar
Wrath of the Lich King
  • Buy around 70 from any of the following gems: Bloodstone, Chalcedony, Dark Jade, Huge Citrine, Shadow Crystal, Sun Crystal. Make sure to buy at least 5 Bloodstone, because you will need the Bloodstones when you reach 395.
  • 10 Crystallized Earth
  • 46 Eternal Earth OR 23 Eternal Earth and 23 Eternal Shadow
  • 5 Forest Emerald
  • 5 Titanium Bar
  • 5 Dream Shard
Cataclysm
  • Buy 45 from any of the following gems: Carnelian, Alicite, Jasper, Zephyrite. I did not include Hessonite and Nightstone in the list because you will use them later on.
  • 16 Hessonite
  • 50 Nightstone
Pandaria
  • Buy 60 from any of the following uncommon gems: Lapis Lazuli, Tiger Opal, Sunstone, Rougestone, Alexandrite, Pandarian Garnet (you should have at least 5 from each)
  • Buy 9 from any of the following rare gems: Wild Jade, Vermilion Onyx, Primordial Ruby, Imperial Amethyst, Sun's Radiance, River's Heart. You will have to buy these from the same color, for example 9 Sun's Radiance


Jewelcrafting Leveling Guide 1 - 50


First, visit a trainer - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Jewelcrafting.


50 - 150


Learn Jewelcrafting Journeyman.
  • 50-80 50 x [Bronze Setting] - 100 Bronze Bar
    Save these, you will need them later.
  • 110-120
    10 x [Heavy Stone Statue] - 80 Heavy Stone
    If Heavy Stone is cheap (usually it's not) make this one up to 130 if you want to.
  • 120-150
    30 x [Pendant of the Agate Shield] - 30 Moss Agate, 30 Bronze Settings
    If you prospect your own Ores, usually you will get a lot of [Lesser Moonstone] too, but even if you don't prospect the Ores, sometimes 2 Lesser Moonstone is cheaper than one Moss Agate. So get the recipe [Design: Amulet of the Moon] and use up all your Lesser Moonstone. This recipe turns yellow at 140, you might need to make more than 30 of these.
    The design is sold by these NPCs.


150 - 200


Learn Jewelcrafting Expert.
  • 150-180
    45 x [Mithril Filigree] - 90 Mithril Bar
    Save these, you will need 45 of them later.


200 - 300


Learn Jewelcrafting Artisan.
  • 200-220
    If Citrine is expensive, you can continue to make [Engraved Truesilver Ring] up to around 210 or maybe more, you will also need a bit more Mithril Filigree then.
    The recipe will go yellow at 210, so you might need to get more Citrine if you are unlucky. If you are lucky you will only need 20.
    25 x [Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing] - 25 Citrine, 50 Mithril Bar
  • 225-250
    50 x [Thorium Setting] - 50 Thorium Bar
    Stop making these at 250 and only make more if you need it, but you will need around 50.
  • 260-280
    If Large Opal is expensive on your realm, like it cost twice as much as one Star Ruby, then you should continue to make [Ruby Pendant of Fire] up to 275. Or if you Prospected your own Ores, you will have a lot of Star Ruby and Azerothian Diamond left, use all of them.
    20 x [Simple Opal Ring] - 20 Large Opal, 20 Thorium Setting
    If you reach 265 and you have a lot of Azerothian Diamond or if it's cheap, you can start to craft [Diamond Focus Ring]. Keep in mind that you will need 7 Azerothian Diamond for the next step.


300 - 350


Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Master.
Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.
You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests.
If the Darkmoon Faire is open, make only 5 [Mercurial Adamantite] at the next step and then make more gems to reach 340 where you should make only 5 [Heavy Adamantite Ring] and you can complete your quest when you reach 345.
  • 340 - 350 You can continue to make the gems above if you didn't reach 350 by making the rings below.
    10 x [Heavy Adamantite Ring] - 10 Adamantite Bar, 10 Mercurial Adamantite


350 - 425


Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Grand Master.
  • 420 - 425
    Check the previous part if you don't have Titanium Bar.
    5 x [Dream Signet] - 5 Titanium Bar, 5 Dream Shard, 5 Forest Emerald


425 - 500


Visit your trainer and learn Jewelcrafting Illustrious.
  • 425 - 450
    Make 25 from any of the new Uncommon Gem Cuts that you get from your trainer. You can also make [Jasper Ring] if you can disenchant it.
  • 467 - 475
    8 x [Hessonite Band] - 8 Jeweler's Setting, 16 Hessonite
    You can also make [Carnelian Spikes] if 3 Carnelian is cheaper than 2 Hessonite. You can buy the Jeweler's Setting from the vendor.
  • 475 - 500
    25 x [Nightstone Choker] - 25 Jeweler's Setting, 50 Nightstone
    Make more Hessonite Band if you have some Hessonite left.


500 - 600


Visit your trainer and learn Zen Jewelcrafting.
  • 500 - 512
    4 x [Ornate Band] - 4 Lapis Lazuli, 4 Tiger Opal, 4 Sunstone
If your main goal is to just learn every rare gem cuts. Stop the leveling guide and start making the first gem research [River's Heart] or [Sun's Radiance]. You can only make 1 research a day, but it will give you 3 skill points. You will have to learn like 100 recipes, which means you will reach 600 by making these researches daily.
  • 527 - 575
    I could list all the recipes you learn at 525, but there is no real need for that. All of the recipes you learn will stay orange all the way up to 575. You will learn new ones at 530, 535, 545, and so on. Making necks, rings gets you 3 skill points for 3 uncommon gems. Each gem cut gives 1 skill point. You get the same skill point to gem ratio either way. I would choose the necks, rings because it is usually easier for me to sell. You will use 48 gems.
  • 575 - 585
    You shouldn't make the necks or the rings because they will no longer grant you 3 skill point. Make any uncommon gem instead. You will use around 20 gems.
  • 585 - 588
    Make any gem research like [Primordial Ruby]. It is up to you which one you choose, but it's better to choose one that you have materials for because after the research you will learn a new recipe which you will have to make 6 times. The gem color of the recipe will be the same as the gems you used for the research.
  • 588 - 600
    Cut 6 rare gem from the learned recipe.
I hope you liked this World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting guide, GZ to 600!

Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. You can get the quests from your Engineering trainer. The main difference between both sides is the location of their respective teleporters and the ability of their trinkets. Some items require a specific specialization to use, while other items are crafted by one specialization but are usable by any engineer. Fortunately, most recipes that are crafted by one Specialization can be worn by both.

    If you don't reach 320 by making the recipes below, you should make [Fel Iron Bombs] until 320. But then you also need to make a few more Fel Iron Bolts and the other materials. 10 x [4 Elemental Blasting Powder] - 20 Mote of Earth, 10 Mote of Fire
    Save these.
    15 x [Fel Iron Casing] - 45 Fel Iron Bar
    You will need around 15 of these later, but I suggest you to make these until it goes grey, then only make more when you'll need them.

    5 x [Fel Iron Musket] - 5 Heavy Stock, 15 Fel Iron Casing, 30 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts You can buy the Heavy Stocks from the vendor.

Visit your trainer and learn Zen Engineering.
  • 500 - 550
    You will use these later on, so make all of them now. You might even need to make more of these, but this is about the minimum that is needed to reach 580. 25 x [Ghost Iron Bolts] - 75 Ghost Iron Bar
    15 x [High-Explosive Gunpowder] - 15 Ghost Iron Bar
  • 550 - 554
    4 x [Tinker's Kit] - 8 High-Explosive Gunpowder, 8 Ghost Iron Bolts, 8 Windwool Cloth It's really important to stop making these at 554.

    1 x [Tinker's Kit] - 2 High-Explosive Gunpowder, 2 Ghost Iron Bolts, 2 Windwool Cloth
  • 580 - 595
    Here comes the ugly part. If you really want to reach 600 as fast as possible, you should make [Thermal Anvil] up to 595. You will have to make around 22-24 of these just for these 15 skill points which is around 300 Ghost Iron Bar (600 Ghost Iron Ore). I don't recommend this way of leveling at all, you should just take it slowly, farm [Spirit of Harmony] and make any rare item that you can craft, most of them will give 5 skill points. You can get [Spirit of Harmony] by combining 10 [Motes of Harmony]. Motes are dropped by every mob in Pandaria, even in dungeons. The drop rate is low, so it may take you 2 hours to collect 10 motes.
    Recommended items to make:
    1 x [Mist-Piercing Goggles] - 8 Ghost Iron Bolts, 2 Spirit of Harmony
    2 x [Lord Blastington's Scope of Doom] - 36 Ghost Iron Bolts, 4 Primordial Ruby, 2 Spirit of Harmony.
    But you can just make any item that you will use or sell.
  • 595 - 600
    At this point there is really no other option, you will have to make recipes which uses Spirit of Harmony. I recommend the onces below, but you can make any other recipe that will give you 5 skill point. 1 x [Mist-Piercing Goggles] - 8 Ghost Iron Bolts, 2 Spirit of Harmony
    or
    1 x [Lord Blastington's Scope of Doom] - 18 Ghost Iron Bolts, 2 Primordial Ruby, 1 Spirit of Harmony.
I hope you liked this Engineering leveling guide, GZ to 600!

MOP Reputation & Faction Guide


I've spent the last few days getting my head around all the different factions in MOP, all the dailies available and the rewards from the grinds. I thought I'd put together a rough guide on what the factions are, what you get from each of them, where to access the dailies and what you need to do to gain access to the dailies.

If you have anything to add, please let me know.

I haven't mentioned it for each faction, but also note that all the dailies give VP and Lesser Charm of Good Fortune which you want to be collecting. Finally before we get started, once reaching level 90, head to the lower level of the outdoor tiers of your factions capital city in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. You'll find quartermasters and other folk that can help you find your way.

The Lorewalkers

Who: The Lorewalkers are a pandaren faction bent on exploring the world, finding things and relics to fill out libraries. They are caretakers of the mysteries of Pandaria, and they roam the continent hoping to learn from their history.
Where: Quartermaster is Tan Shin Tiao located at the Seat of Knowledge in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
How: You gain rep with The Lorewalkers by exploring the world, finding things and relics across Pandaria. You can gain exalted with the Lorewalkers in just over an hour, and it doesn't involve killing any mobs. The easiest way to do this is to follow this video guide on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3KzbWY4zFk
Reward:  You are able to purchase Disc of the Red Flying Cloud for 600 gold. You will also complete 9 achievements in your travels.

Golden Lotus

Who: The Golden Lotus is a faction whose main purpose is trying to deal with the Mogu threat that has arisen. They are looking for information on why the threat has arisen at all, and what they can do to reslove it once and for all.
It is important to note that you must be revered with this faction before you are able to begin the rep grind for The Shado-pan and The August Celestials.
Where: You will first run into the faction after you have reached level 87 and travelled through Kun-Lai Summit. Once level 90 you will be able to head to the quest hub at The Golden Pagola in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
How: The only way to advance is through doing the dailies.
Once reaching friendly from the dailies you will be sent to Whitepetal Lake and Mistfall Village, and upon reaching honored you will be sent out even further west for more quests. Each day check it at The Golden Pagola to start the daily grind. In my experience these quests can be completed quite quickly, although currently a few people are experiencing a bug at Whitepetal Lake and are unable to locate He Softfoot to being the dailies there. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Reward:  Becoming revered allows you to start gaining rep with The Shado-Pan and The August Celestials. You also gain access to some nice looking VP gear available from the quartermaster.
When and if you eventually hit exalted, you will also be rewarded with access to the quest that leads you to face off against Zhao-Jin the Bloodletter on the quest The Final Power. You will then get to choose your reward, a 489 epic neck piece - there are 5 to choose from.
At honored there is a CC trinket with fun visual effects Mogu Rune of Paralysis and armor available for JP.
At revered there are chests, rings and shoulders in exchange for VP.
At exalted there are three types of mounts available for 3000 gold each.
Reins of the Azure Riding Crane
Reins of the Regal Riding Crane
Reins of the Golden Riding Crane

The Klaxxi

Who:  The Klaxxi are sworn to protect the ideals of the Mantid Empire, even at the cost of killing their ruler.
Where:  The Klaxxi are located in Dread Wastes at Klaxxi'vess.
How: Most players will probably come into contact with this faction during questing (89-90).
There are dailies and a repeatable quest. I think it is important to note that currently the drop rate for the repeatable quest is quite low (1 in 15-20 mobs).
Reward: At honored, players can purchase  Restorative Amber and can also purchase gear and blacksmithing recipes in exchange for JP.
At revered you can purchase ilvl 489 neck, pants, belts and  Amber Sledge of Klaxxi'vess.
At exalted there are a few vanity themed items. There is a tabard, and a mount.  Reins of the Amber Scorpion is similar to the Horde style scorpion mount. There are also 463 weapons available, and I suggest checking them out for transmog potential.

Order of the Cloud Serpent

Who: If you want to be able to ride any of the fancy new cloud serpent mounts in MoP, you'll need to get exalted with this faction.
Where: Head to the Arboretum in The Jade Forest and speak to Elder Anli the Serpent Master.
How: After finishing the intial chain you will be honored (or very close) and you will have picked up a cloud serpent of your very own to raise. The dailies reward ~1100 rep per quest, so it is a relatively easy grind, and can be quite fun. Once completing the initial dailies you can collect Onyx Eggs on Windward Isle (where you will have been sent to complete the dailies). You can collect these eggs and turn them in for ~550 rep per egg. That's roughly 60 eggs to reach exalted straight away. Depending on your competition this can take between 1 and 4 hours to achieve.
Upon reaching exalted you will still have to learn how to fly your cloud serpent through a tutorial quest and a jaunt around the area. You will only learn Cloud Serpent Riding once you have completed these quests.
Reward: You get to keep your hatchling, you can purchase other hatchlings (there are 3 colours) and you learn Cloud Serpent Riding. There are mounts, and this is where Jewelcrafters can pick up the recipes for their mounts.
There are also VPs rewarded for completing the dailies.

The Anglers

Who:  The Anglers are fisherman who are, surprise surprise, all about fishing. They have numerous daily quests that send you out into the world to fish.
Where: The Anglers are found in three locations.
Anglers Wharf, on the south eastern coast of Krasarang Wilds. This settlement houses the quartermaster, Nat Pagle, and all known daily quest givers.
Sri-La Village on the north-west coast of The Jade Forest (this settlement does not have a quartermaster or quest givers)
Soggy's Gamble on the south coast of the Dreasd Wastes. There is a sequence of regular (non-daily) quests that can be found here once you have completed the initial Klaxxi quests in the zone.
How:  Dailies and quests, as above.
Reward: Completing all the Anglers Wharf dailies (at least once) awards the achievement "Locking Down the Docks". Becoming exalted also rewards you with an achievement.
Friendly: 2 cooking recipes
Honored: Pandaren Fishing Pole and Tiny Goldfish (battlepet).
Revered: Anglers Fishing Raft (raft across water, 10 minute duration). Requires 525 fishing and costs 1000 gold and some other fishing goodies.
Exalted: Reins of the Azure Water Strider for 5000 gold, and the Anglers tabard for 10g.

The Shado-Pan

Who: The Shado-Pan are different from the other pandaren clans. They are darker and sinister with a ninja like culture dedicated to protect Pandaria. The Shado-Pan are in a timeless struggle with the Sha.
Where: The daily hub is located in western Townlong Steppes.
How: Most of the quests in Townlong Steppes reward reputation with the Shado-Pan, including all of the dailies at the Shado-Pan Garrison at level 90. You must be revered with Golden Lotus to unlock the quest hub in western Townlong Steppes. Daily quests are selected from three sets of quest hubs, which all give +250 rep, except for the final quest which is +350 rep. At each hub you gain a special buff as well as a choice of 3 companions that will help DPS. When first starting out, players can "recruit" more companions by defeating them in combat.
Reward: At honored there is Shado-Pan Dragon Gun for JP. At revered there are weapon enchant recipes, as well as epic helms, trinkets and capes for most classes/specs. At exalted there are fun vanity rewards: Replica Shado-Pan Helmet, Reins of the Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger, Reins of the Green Shado-Pan Riding Tiger & Reins of the Red Shado-Pan Riding Tiger.

The August Celestials

Who: They are four creatures that watch over Pandaria and protect the temples from the Sha. Niuzao - The Black Ox, Chi-Ji - The Red Cran, Xuen - The White Tiger, Yu'lon - The Jade Serpent. The four temples are dedicated to August Celestials and each of them houses the followers and monks dedicated to serve them.
Where: Niuzao - Townlong Steppes. Chi-Ji - Krasarang Wilds. Xuen - Kun-Lai Summit. Yu'lon - Jade Forest.
How: One of the four temples will offer daily quests each day.
Reward: There are lots of available rewards.
Honored - JP chest, back and legs, ilvl 450.
Revered - Bracer enchantment recipes, VP feet, hands, wrists.
Exalted - Tabard, Tailoring pattern (bag) and Reins of the Thundering August Cloud Serpent for 10,000 gold.

I  hope this guide helps. Please leave some feedback if you have anything to add. Bump if you think it's worthy.

This is the first guide I've ever written so it's a little rough around the edges. I hope some of the fresh 90s and people approaching 90 may find it helpful.
