Legendary QuestsAugust Celestials

A Timeless Discovery: Travel to the Timeless Isle southeast of the Jade Forest and speak with Wrathion.

Pandaria. Just when I think I've gotten its mysteries figured out, I discover something new.
It's called "The Timeless Isle." Once hidden in the mists, it appears and disappears seemingly of its own will. I've heard that time has no meaning there, that the sun neither rises nor sets.
We can take advantage of this anomaly, <name>! If I could time-lock your cloak, the power it could contain would be... immense.
Our path is clear. Fly southeast of the Jade Forest and meet me at the Timeless Isle!

Secrets of the Timeless Isle: Collect 50 Timeless Coin from creatures and events on the Timeless Isle.

There is a currency minted only on this island - "Timeless Coins." They are immune to the island's temporal distortions... I would like to figure out why.

Gather some for me! Venture into the jungles of this forgotten paradise. Destroy the mysterious foes who lurk in this timeless place, discover hidden caches of treasure, and explore forgotten treasure hoards - whatever it takes. I will be waiting!

The Emperor's Way: Defeat Yu'lon, Chi-Ji, Xuen and Niuzao, the four August Celestials of Pandaria.

Recently, the August Celestials of Pandaria presented you with a challenge - and you triumphed.
But can you defeat them in combat? They are testing the mettle of all of Pandaria's heroes.
This challenge is not impossible, but you'll need to follow the advice of the last Pandaren Emperor and approach this challenge with unwavering inner strength. You'll also need a small army, so find a group of people you trust.
Defeat the four celestials, and our journey is almost complete...

A Pandaren Legend: Meet Wrathion within the Seat of Knowledge in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

I have learned so much in this timeless place, friend. Between the wisdom of the celestials and the curious power of these timeless artifacts, I know now how to safely augment your cloak with my own considerable power.

I need a sacred place to complete my final incantations. Quickly! Meet me in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, within the Seat of Knowledge above the Mogu'shan Palace.

Today, your legend begins!

Judgment of the Black Prince: Complete the Siege of Orgrimmar and Defeat Garrosh Hellscream.

Now. To the final stage of my plan. Time to fulfil your grand purpose.
Using your newfound powers, it is time to bring this war to its conclusion. Destroy Garrosh Hellscream. Your people demand it, and future generations will sing your praises as the harbinger for the glorious new world we shall build together.
I have no reward to offer you. I have already done everything in my power to ensure that you succeed. You are on your own.
End Hellscream's reign.

There are some additional fragmented quests--The Usurper appears unfinished, but implies there will be some sort of reward from the Golden Lotus for killing Garrosh.

Comment by DeirheseInteresting stuff going down.Comment by Ywizzle" Da revolution mon ! " they say.

I say " More work to make money ".

~Goblin.Comment by link55557I know now how to safely augment your cloak with my own considerable power.Comment by 1106042"i can do nothing further to help you" "onto the final stage of my plan" um.. excuse me blizzard, but where's the legendary weapon..

providing us with a sha touched weapon, and the ability to add sha gems, and the ability to add prismatci scale sockets to ..

WEAPONS THAT ARE USELESS!

there are no more sha touched weapons past 509 (heroic toes being the last place to find one)

how the heck is this a legendary quest, cuz of some lame cloak?
So far , all that MOP has done is provide us with useless items, useless currencies (valour points will officially go obsolete in 5.4 as there is no mention of any purchases above item level 522, and seige of ogrimaar will offer 528 on lfr) useless lesser charms of good fortune, and now, based on what i am reading , a useless ending to a quest that provides items that are useless past item level 509..

:S blizzard, what is wrong with you, are you really going to end the legendary quest at a useless point? or are you going to provide us with higher level sha touched weapons that can fit the otherwise useless and expensive gems and sockets?

just for kicks, USELESS USELESS USELESS

however, the layout and design of the Vale of Eternal Sorrows stage of siege of ogrimar does seem promising due to it's unorigionality (i can't be the only one who thinks it is just a remake of TOES) and teh sha of pride who may in fact drop the sha touched weapon i am complaining about not existing .. (the item level 528 one)

My average item level is 512, and keeps growing. I am constantly vendoring items below 512 and keeping my gear up to date with reforges , enchants, and valour upgrades...

the absence of any sha touched weapon past 509 , in a legendary quest that supplies gems and sockets - is highly disappointing

Hopefully TOES 2.0 will make us all grind for months on end to finally get the one sha touched weapon of item level 528

but, even so, by then expansion 6 will be out and none of it will matter

grrr...

then again blizzard does plan to extend this expansion pack to 5.7, so there is definitely a lot more to do, in the meantime however - the absence of sha touched gear past 509 is a shame, as it renders the black prince quest line totally useless for anyone with gear at an average of 510 and above...

if i wanted to do all this grinding and hacking and slashing for hours on end each day, i would definitely wnat something more for my time and money then an item level 600 cloak that will be obsolete come end of year..

i would want a legendary weapon ..

a cloak is not a weapon, unless you happen to be an evil magician or perhaps Lord Voldemort..

thx for the cloak blizzard, i'll just vendor it now and save myself the disappointmentComment by Rankkorhowever, the layout and design of the Vale of Eternal Sorrows stage of siege of ogrimar does seem promising due to it's unorigionality (i can't be the only one who thinks it is just a remake of TOES)then again blizzard does plan to extend this expansion pack to 5.7, so there is definitely a lot more to dothe absence of sha touched gear past 509 is a shame, as it renders the black prince quest line totally useless for anyone with gear at an average of 510 and above...if i wanted to do all this grinding and hacking and slashing for hours on end each day, i would definitely wnat something more for my time and money then an item level 600 cloak that will be obsolete come end of year..

I don't know who is Gamon, I don't know their vendors. This seems so unbalanced, Horde is getting much more meaningful content than Alliance. I had my sub active during Pandaria waiting for the Garrosh raid, but it seems like a Horde thing. I want revenge for Theramore, for Rhonin and Kinndy, for the land burned and chopped and for all that we lost in Cataclysm. This don't sound promising at all.Comment by jaq1010*opens article, sees video of changes in Org*

Yawn, eh, might as well watch it

*hears Olivia Grace narrating it*

I'M WATCHING THE WHOLE THING!

:DComment by RankkorI find it amusing how Gamon went from basically a joke character, to a serious well developed one over the life of wow.

What's next? Make Leeroy Jenkins an official character and add him to the alliance rooster?Comment by vindurzathe home city of the horde is turning into a war zone, the alliance grow closer together and we're on the edge of wiping ourselves off the map, 5.4 it only escalates I won't surprised if in 5.5 org looks like stormwind did after deathwing arrived

I have money that they are going to kill thrall or varian off just when i was starting to like the human kingComment by Alfathx for the cloak blizzard, i'll just vendor it now and save myself the disappointmentComment by 678294I find it amusing how Gamon went from basically a joke character, to a serious well developed one over the life of wow.

as for my comment on the first part of siege of ogrimaar being a remark of terrace of endless spring, read the dungeon journal on immersius. the whole boss fight screams of unorigionality

"beat the bosses of the siege of ogrimaar before the release of the next tier content" hmmmmm.. notice the lack of "next expansion" i can't find the specific article i was referring to as it was from ask the devs 5.2 and seems to have been removed from the site, but neither do i care as i can also find no mention anywhere of 5.4 being the last patch...

A legendary is both a mark of power and a mark of prestige. Sure, they're powerful and give you a HUGE edge against others, in PVP and PVE, but they also make you look cool, and provide a visual reward that serves as a bragging rights reward long after the use of the reward itself is gone. My GM still loves to equip her daggers in orgrimmar and unfold her wings just to show off. Another guildie loves to transform into Tarecgosa from his legendary staff quest.Sulfuras, Hand of RagnarosComment by 1082997Baine: "I am uneasy, old firend." let's hope blizzard sees this and fixes this ^^
