Pandaria

Shrouded in mists since the world was sundered ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.

The entrance is in The Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61.0 (/way #433 48.1 61.0).

Pandaria entrance

• Sha of Anger drops 7 pieces of this set (Feet, Hands, Waist, Wrist). Adventure Guide map pin: 54.4, 63.2 on the Kun-Lai Summit map. The Sha of Anger, the physical manifestation of rage, has escaped from the Shado-pan Monastery in Kun-Lai Summit. Amid the brutal conflicts gripping Pandaria, the dark entity has grown ever more powerful. Recently, the sha has been seen wandering Kun-Lai, using negative energies to corrupt everything the being encounters.

15 pieces of this appearance set also belong to the item set Gladiator's Pursuit, which carries these bonuses in the game files:

• 2 pieces: Increases all damage you deal by 4%.
