Some sharings to those trying to loot purple gear, three ways:

1) LFR :

Time your dps/heal/tank effort correctly on the boss that you want to loot from (read the journal for loot type/boss) and always do the correct thing (avoid shit stepping, kill adds etc) during the correct phase.
Chances for you to get the loot would be higher and even if it drops gold try roll using elder charm and you stand a chance to get what you want.

You only have 3 elder charm per week, spend it wisely. Definitely you will still need a little bit of luck.
For the record I have spent 18 elder charm for 6 weeks for my healing shield, means I run the same boss 3 times every week for 6 consecutive weeks

2) Faction Reputation Gear:

Do dailies, cap your valor points (1000 weekly), and there are 3 type of benefits from it:
A) You gain reputation with variable factions in pandaria and the purple gear would be available for purchase using valor points once you hit revered with them, and they have higher ilvl than lfr.

B) There are faction mounts (some of them looks very nice) available for purchase with gold upon exalted with the faction.

C) Golds, more activites = more golds, you can buy many things under the sky of azeroth with hellot of gold in your pocket.

- Some suggestion of dailies path upon you hit 90, start with order of the cloud serpent (cool cloud serpent riding skill upon you exalted with them, you get a free cloud serpent aka chinese dragon as well, choose your color of the serpent wisely as it would be available for you as an option during a quest for hatching your serpent egg).

Look for an item called onyx egg and turn it into npc in cloud serpent dailies area. It is the shortcut for you to quickly hit exalted with them (one egg gives 600 rep/1200 with rep bonus unlock using commendation which is available for purchase once you are revered with them). The egg can be found at various mountain top on the east of jade forest which is nearby your dailies area.
For the record I turn myself from honored to exalted overnight by collecting 22 unit of these eggs.

Do golden lotus at the same time (most quest, most gold) and it is necessary for you to hit revered with them to unlock august celestrials and shadopan.

Once august celestrials and shadopan are unlocked normally your cloud serpent already exalted, stop cloud serpent dailies since it requires you to travel far east and you already got your mount riding skill. Start klaxxi dailies and continue doing golden lotus as well, you would be maintaining dailies with 4 factions now.

There are two new factions in 5.1, dominance offensive and the black prince. I would suggest you to start the quest and dailies for dominance offensive when you hit revered with shadopan/august celestrials as by that time your ilvl would be ready to hit these mobs, they hit hard! Blackprince faction rely on your effort in dominance offensive as you kill more alliance in the dailies you gain reputation with black prince at the same time, and it is the only faction that unlock sha-touched gem for your raid weapon.

As for anglers and lorewalkers, if you are not into archaeologist/fishing, forget about them. However lorewalkers do give you a nice mount (a riding cloud like the sun wukong in journey to the west). There's a shortcut to get exalted with lorewalkers by reading all the books available in pandaria, youtube/wowhead for it and get the coordinates of the books which normally take 2 hours for you to completely explore it.

3) Random drop from world-boss, sha of anger/galleon

Again, put your best effort in dps/healing/tank effort to them, if needed to use elder charm to roll on them, sometimes you get epic pve/pvp gear and if you are lucky enough you save 7,500 for the electric cloud serpent! So far I have seen non of that in gundrak yet.

Side note on Galleon, he only spawn every 72 hours (3 days), you would be expecting world pvp on your way to him since everyone is hunting him.
I only able to down him 3 times since I hit lvl 90 for so long. But each time I am able to loot some good shit outta him.


Hope the above would able to assist you for your adventure in Azeroth.

Bubbleron i may not be able to play much WoW, so i may have to join ur guild at a later time sorry and cheers.

Hi,

I'm a casual player that played a while ago and just returning. Looking for a guild to join and learn from the experts... Is Actus Reus interested in having casual players on the guild?

AR? Casual players? of course. AR is more than a wow guild, we are forming a malaysian community in Gundrak.

Cool.. I will start a character on Gundrak tonight and contact any one of you in-game.
Any particular class will be ok right? Have a pally in another realm, thinking of rolling a warrior here.

its entirely up to u, play classes where u will enjoy the most. just drop bubbleron or arwenz a message for inv.

just mailbox (in game) a message so we will know what toon name u using. when either one of us online, we can add u and inv you in.

cheers mate.

Congratulations to the first batch of LYN recruits on achieving level 90 and your real journey begins here.. As there would be non-stop heroic/LFR and BG bootcamp to buff you up and yes you are correct we are going into serious business on 5.2
