Mists of Pandaria Leveling Guide: Start Your Legend

There's a new legendary quest series in Mists of Pandaria and anyone that's 90 can begin working on it. Multiple people in your raid can work on it at the same time, and it can even be completed in LFR. We'll show you what you need to get started this week.

A few things set this apart from past legendaries:

All players in a raid can work on the legendary questline at the same time.
Legendaries are for everyone. Players complete quests for legendary gems, which are then socketed into Sha-Touched weapons from raids. There are nine weapons classified as Sha-Touched, covering all possible specs.
With this system, guild are only limited by the number of Sha-Touched weapons they see each week.
Legendary gems can be placed into weapons from LFR. Quest items can also be looted in LFR.
This legendary series will span the expansion, with more elaborate rewards each tier.
The reward for this first tier is an epic weapon with a legendary gem, not an actual legendary weapon.

Quest Series

NPCs in major cities in Pandaria will give you Stranger in a Strange Land, a breadcrumb quest to deliver Mysterious Note to Wrathion in The Veiled Stair. This is a small zone that can be reached by heading north of the Grassy Cline flightpoint in Valley of the Four Winds.

You catch up with Wrathion and learn why he's in Pandaria with A Legend in the Making.

You need to get to Honored with The Black Prince.

You must have Trial of the Black Prince in your log to get reputation from kills.
Reputation is gained by killing Mogu and Mantid in Townlong Steppes, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Dread Wastes. You can get reputation easily while doing Golden Lotus and The Klaxxi dailies.
Normal mobs give 10-12 reputation.
Elites give 15-30 reputation.
Rare Elites give 40-45 reputation.
Adds give 1-3 reputation.
You can use items like Battle Standard of Coordination to boost your reputation gains.
If you are a rogue that has completed Patricide, you can skip this step.

On October 2, players can begin completing The Strength of One's Foes in Mogu'shan Vaults.

The 10x Sigil of Power and 10x Sigil of Wisdom will be lootable by anyone on the quest.
You can also collect them in Terrace of Endless Spring and Heart of Fear but they won't be open for another month.
These legendary quest items can also drop in LFR.

On October 30, Terrace of Endless Spring and Heart of Fear open on normal difficulty. These are the instances that drop the Sha-Touched weapons (Mogu'shan Vaults does not).

Also starting on October 30, players can continue on the questline with Fear Itself: Defeat the Sha of Fear in the Terrace of Endless Spring and acquire the Chimera of Fear.

Breath of the Black Prince then rewards you with a choice of +500 stat gems: Crystallized Horror, Crystallized Dread, Crystallized Terror. These can be placed in the Sha-Touched weapons, which have versions on LFR, Normal, and Heroic difficulty.
