Episode #13 : Gotta get that crane!

Click here to listen to this week's audio short!

Intro

This week we head back to Pandaria and try to earn some of the great rewards there. We will be looking at the Golden Lotus this week. They are the guardians of the vale and even though a lot has changed there it is still a great faction to pursue!

The Vale

Getting Started

You have a few things to do to begin to work towards exalted with this faction. First is to complete the quest "Temple of the White Tiger" then "A Celestial Experience" where you till be tasked with trials to prove yourself. Next you will receive the quest "A Witness to History" where you actually get to see the gates of the vale opened.

Other than these quests the next work to do is begin to work on the various daily quests that are handed out at the Setting Sun Garrison. There are a handful quest givers there that will help you out every day.

Be sure that you have elected to champion for the Golden Lotus as well so that so that doing random scenarios and dungeons will reward bonus experience for you as well.

Inside the vale various enemies in the zone will reward differing amounts of experience depending on how powerful they are. In theory you could just kill your way to exalted if you wanted to.


What am I working towards

There are great rewards and achievements that come with exalted status, but many are offered to those with neutral standing now. This means that one of the only reasons left to work all the way to exalted is to get the [Reins of the Azure Riding Crane] , [Reins of the Golden Riding Crane] , or [Reins of the Regal Riding Crane] . You will also be able to purchase the [Golden Lotus Tabard] . You also gain the achievement [The Golden Lotus] for reaching exalted.

Conclusion

While there are not that many things to work for at this time, the riding cranes are beautiful mounts worth the effort in my opinion. We will be back next week, and remember if you would like us to highlight a specific faction let us know! Have a great week and may the light be with you!
