Pandaria ho!

I decided to check out Pandaria, mostly because I want to get to 90 as quickly as possible so I can check out Garrisons. They sound really interesting.

Mists of Pandaria starts off with an Alliance / Horde conflict that ends up on the island of Pandaria. You're sent in to help take care of the Alliance that landed on the island; the fighting upsets the locals, who dislike warfare. On the Horde side, you're tasked with eradicating the remnants of the Alliance and then ... and then you have to befriend some monkeys. Yea, monkeys.

This is basically where I stopped last night. I made level 86 and was quite tired so I went to bed early. I feel like that alone should give me bonus points!

The basic green quest rewards early on have been better than the epic gear I have from level 80 ... except my gear is enchanted and has gems. So I still have yet to replace anything other than my rings and a trinket, but it's definitely getting closer to happening.
