To start, I think Mists is the best thing that's happened to warcraft so far. The levelling process feels so much smoother, the dungeons are more entertaining. Graphics upgrade wasn't huge but is noticable. The heroic dungeons are a bit easy but I'm perfectly fine with that depending on how the challenge mode and raids play out.
It's still in the first week but there's a ton of information I can share with people. I'm not going to write a rep guide because those exist out there, and I'm going to try to avoid anything that's already been done that isn't too hard to find so here it goes.
What to do when you hit 90.
After hitting lvl 90 what should you do? The first things I would highly recommend are unlocking the various dailies. Since there are no caps on daily quests you can do basically every daily quest you have access to every day. So which factions do you have access to? Also this is how you get to spend your JP and VP since all the items you can buy with those currencies are tied to reputations Honoured = JP. Revered = VP
The black prince. No spoilers here but you do need to pick up a quest to go see wrathion. This is related to the legendary gem upgrade. It's important you get this because you rep up by killing mobs of various types that you'll find anyways by doing your other dailies.
Doing the dread wastes quests should put you in line to do the klaxxi quests. You should be able to hit honoured with them through just the zone quests and one or two days worth of dailies. They are pretty easy dailies and at exalted you get extra weapon choices that seem mostly for xmog but are actually really nice if you don't get a 463 by then. Depending on which set of dailies you get you will be getting black prince rep.
Temple of the white tiger in Kun-lai summit has a quest involving Anduin that should unlock the golden lotus quests for you. Golden lotus rep is required for access to many other factions and it is really really slow going. The mobs you kill for these quests also generate black prince rep, most of them. You also unlock new dailies upon hitting honoured so keep an eye out for those.
Anglers and cloud serpent factions are also available and their dailies do reward valour points and the lesser charms of good fortune. which means it's a really good idea to get started on them but their rewards aren't as important as the other two factions you have access to. The rest of the factions you do not get access to right away. At least shado-pan and august celestials require the golden lotus rep. You can pick up quests that let you know about this at the main shrine area in the vale of eternal blossoms.
Many quests offer 450 gear, heroic dungeons offer 463 gear with some 470 gear from the last boss if you're lucky. Professions have felt very easy to level up this time around, engineering is a bit of a hassle but it's pretty streamlined and the profession kickbacks show up pretty early for most of them. I think that vast majority are available at 550 while one or two of them might not be available to a fair bit higher. Alchemy you can get lucky with discovering the flask early.
I also haven't discovered anything about flask cauldrons or feasts, so if anyone can tell me with certainty how they work this time around please post a comment.
That's pretty much it for level cap right now. You can start your farm and do some pokemon battles as well but neither really increases your player power much unless you're focusing on cooking, in which case you really want to get the tillers rep and farm going (in valley of the four winds).
Servers are almost up soon and I have chores around the hose to get done before then so I hope you all are enjoying the levelling process and new content. P.S. Sha of anger and galleon are pushovers.
