Mists of Pandaria: Legendary Weapons Preview
The updated version of the guide for 5.1 can be found
here
Mists of Pandaria introduced a legendary that all classes can complete, a drastic change from the rogue-only weapon of Tier 13. Players acquire one of nine "Sha-Touched" weapons from Tier 14 raids, completing a series of quests with
Wrathion
to acquire special +500 stat gems. We don't know the whole quest chain yet, but the first part will let you put a legendary gem in an epic weapon, which isn't a bad start. Datamined icons with legendary names and
Breath of the Black Prince
imply that the final result will be a legendary weapon.
Right now, all of these base weapons have versions and unique colors from LFR, Normal, and Heroic difficulty. You can complete this
initial quest series on any difficulty including LFR
and put the legendary gem (can be purchased from Wrathion multiple times) into Sha-Touched weapons on any tier.
The goal is for players to be rewarded with something really special that stick with the legendary questline through multiple content patches.

Newest Inscription Items, News Round Up
Along with today's news round up, we have a peek at some of the cool things Scribes can craft! Vanity pets, origami objects, and weapons with unique models were recently added to beta.
Some highlights from today's blue posts:
We now know where "Heroic Elite" items are from: defeating
Protector Kaolan
last on the
Protectors of the Endless
Encounter. These items are ilvl 516 (
Asani's Uncleansed Sandals
), while regular heroic items are ilvl 509 (
Asani's Uncleansed Sandals
).
Ghostcrawler confirmed that it's a deliberate move to have secondary-stat gems like
Deadly Vermilion Onyx
have beefed up stats in comparison to primary-stat gems like
Delicate Primordial Ruby
. In Cata, players stacked primary stat gems and they want socketing to be more interesting in Mists.
Cutting Edge: Will of the Emperor
and similar Feats of Strength can only be obtained in their current tier, so players can't go back later with better gear to get it.
More infomation on the staggered raid release schedule in Mists:
Heart of Fear
and
Terrace of Endless Spring
are scheduled to be released on normal difficulty four weeks after
Mogu'shan Vaults

Mists of Pandaria: PvP Gear Preview
Friday's patch had huge additions for Season 12 PvP gear. Not only were many set bonuses changed, but models were added to all the Season 12 items, from weapons to capes. Plus, a few PvP sets had their models changed since we first previewed them--hunter, paladin, and priest!
We've listed all the PvP weapons, armor sets, and accessories with their corresponding 3D models and set bonuses below. Click the images to view them with the Flash modelviewer.
Some basic info:
There are three tiers of PvP armor: Dreadful (Honor Points), Malevolent (Conquest Points), and Malevolent Elite (Conquest Points + 2200 rating). Each of these armor sets has a distinctive tint.
All 2 piece set bonuses increase PvP Power by 300 and PvP Resilience by 600.
All 4 piece set bonuses increase PvP Power by 400 and PvP Resilience by 800.
PvP Power and PvP Resilience are new stats in Mists. PvP Power increases the damage you do to other players as well as the healing you do to other players in PvP situations. PvP Resilience continues to be a defense stat. These two stats will only work in PvP situations, helping to ensure that PvE gear will remain weaker.
Each set has class-specific 2 piece and 4 piece bonu

Pandaria Transmog Preview: Capes and Dungeon Armor
Now that more models are popping up on beta, it's a good time to start thinking about transmog in Mists of Pandaria. Today we'll look at sets found in dungeons as well as quest capes--two types of items that might be thrown away while leveling, but would be hard to retrieve later on. As usual, you can click on all the images to view them in our Flash 3D Modelviewer.

These items are mostly from dungeons, but some are rewards from long quest chains or from RNG-stat scenario satchel rewards. Full list of items under the toggles.

Mists of Pandaria: Challenge Modes
For the current Challenge Mode guide as of Patch 5.1,
click here
!
If seeing Dragon Soul nerfed every month isn't your thing, Challenge Modes in Mists of Pandaria may be more your style. Similar to
Herald of the Titans
, you'll beat bosses without overgearing them, getting special vanity prizes like unique transmog armor as rewards.
Overview
Challenge Modes are timed heroic instance runs, done in low ilvl gear. Any gear worn above ilvl 463 will be scaled down.
Gear will retain all hit and expertise, so players can remain capped. Stats that will be scaled down are secondary ones.
There are three tiers of achievements and rewards, listed below: gold, silver, and bronze.
Once players have beaten all the gold achievements, they have access to a
realm leaderboard
.
Challenge-mode leaderboards
allow players to filter by instance, time, and by guild.

Mists of Pandaria: New Mounts

A new beta patch is hitting Mists of Pandaria sometime this weekend it looks like! We have datamined the spell differences for you to look at and tons of new items, achievements, and more.
The biggest thing this patch seems to be
Breath of the Black Prince
which is likely a way of upgrading items tremendously without class restrictions normally known with legendaries. This system exists in other MMORPGs so it would make sense. This is only speculation, of course.
Horde Bear Models

New Site Feature: 3D Modelviewer Redone and Pandaren Added!
The ability to view models in 3D has always been a highly popular Wowhead feature. For some time now, we've had the ability to click on almost anything in the database and see its 3D model in Flash or Java. However, it's been overdue for some bug fixes and improvements over these past few months.
That's why I'm really happy to announce that we have
a brand new Flash 3D model viewer
on Wowhead as of today! Alayton has been hard at work for some time now on rewriting the viewer and we're launching it today.
Here are some of the new features:
Flash Modelviewer Instead of Java
Make sure you have updated to the latest version of Flash; if your version is outdated, it may not load properly!
Debugging and support is a lot easier this way as we only have to focus on one platform
More people use and prefer Flash so it made sense to use it over Java
Significantly faster load times
Improved particle effects and details
