Now you should have a character with decent gear, 100 fishing, cooking, first aid, mining and herbalism.

Whenever Darkmoon Faire comes, traverse through all professions following THIS guide.



Free to Play endgame and future aims


With a decently geared character you can jump right into the fun stuff now. You still have a lot of goals you can pursue to perfect your toon, but now you can do these in any order you like.

Get a P2P player to summon a portal to Vale of Eternal Blossoms for you. Set your HS in Shrine, it's the best place because of portals to most other parts of the world. Talk with NPCs in Pandaria to discover factions and get 300 weekly reputation with one of them with Random Dungeons. Good ones to do are Lorewalkers, Anglers or Tillers.

Queue random battlegrounds for chests and marks of honor. Purchase Inherited Insignia of the Alliance. Agility classes purchase Sentinel's Medalion. Blue gear from chests is BiS in some cases but might take time to obtain. Doing PvP in battlegrounds also awards Honorable Kills that you will slowly amass and with some dedication obtain titles „of the Alliance” and „the Bloodthirsty” at 100.000 and 250.000 Honorable Kills respectively.

Completing collections and achievements (explained further in the guide), obtaining pets, mounts, toys, tabards, cooking recipes, transmogs and maxing reputations.



Road to first 1000 achievement points.

Doing previous parts of the guide you probably got some achievements already, but I will list all needed to get 1000 total. If you have done something, just skip it. The list assumes that no world events are up. If any are, focus on maxing them first. Numbers in parenthesis ( ) show how many points getting all achievements up to this point will give. Last but not least, I'm assuming that you have no P2P to carry you through stuff. THE LIST IS NOT SORTED FOR EFFICIENCY YET.
