Level 90 has been unlocked on the Mists of Pandaria beta servers, which means that beta testers can now reap the rewards of being max level — specifically, flying! Flying is a trained ability obtained in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, one of the last zones you’ll visit on your leveling journey. The Vale of Eternal Blossoms houses two large shrines, mini-cities of sorts. There’s one for Alliance and one for Horde. Each city flanks the impressively gorgeous Mogu’shan Palace and includes a host of vendors, stable masters, and trainers of every variety. This is where you’ll want to head when you’re ready to take to Pandaria’s skies.

Horde players are taking up residence in the Shrine of Two Moons, while Alliance players are just across the valley in the Shrine of Seven Stars. Each shrine houses a Skydancer who will teach level 90 players the art of flying in Pandaria for 2,500 gold. Considering that flying in early The Burning Crusade set you back a whopping 5,000 gold, this is pretty cheap in comparison. Remember, though, as with all beta content, the price is not set in stone until Mists of Pandaria is released.

Having spent most of five levels happily exploring Pandaria, I can’t wait to finally see it from the skies.
