We’ll break down everything you need to know about gearing up quickly in Pandaria Classic, including the smartest paths through dungeons, crafted gear, faction vendors, Timeless Isle farming, and more.

🧭 How Does Gearing Work at Level 90 in Pandaria Classic?
When you ding 90, your gear is likely a mix of quest blues or greens. That’s not going to cut it. You need to hit item level thresholds for content like LFR, heroic dungeons, and raids. Here's a breakdown of the core systems:
- Heroic Dungeons – These drop item level 463 gear, solid for starter builds.
- Reputation Vendors – Several factions offer epics at ilvl 489 once you’re revered/exalted.
- Crafted Gear – Items like the Contender’s sets or Living Steel Belt Buckle give great early boosts.
- LFR – Looking for Raid offers tier gear and weapons. You’ll need around ilvl 460 to queue.
- Timeless Isle – Grants ilvl 496 gear tokens and even Burdens of Eternity for ilvl 535 items.
So the name of the game is efficiency—you want to hit the ilvl gates quickly, then stack upgrades from all fronts.
⚙️ Step-by-Step: Fastest Paths to Epic Gear at 90
Let’s dive into a step-by-step progression that works for every class.
Step 1: Do the Intro Quests in the Vale
Right after hitting 90, go to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and start the Golden Lotus intro quests. This opens up access to several daily hubs and valor rewards. It also lets you start working on gear from Reputation Vendors.
Step 2: Queue for Normal & Heroic Dungeons
Start with normals to learn fights and get gear. Then quickly move to heroics. Each boss in a heroic dungeon drops ilvl 463 gear, and many pieces are BiS for pre-raid.
Best heroics to farm:
- Shado-Pan Monastery – Fast and lots of loot
- Mogu’shan Palace – Great trinkets
- Siege of Niuzao Temple – Solid tank/healer pieces
Use Tavern Buffs or Darkmoon Faire rep buffs to grind rep while you farm heroics.
Step 3: Unlock and Run Scenarios
Scenarios are short, 3-player instances that reward decent gear and valor. Super time-efficient. Use these between dungeon queues or when you only have 10–15 minutes.
Step 4: Start Your Reputation Grinds
Prioritize these factions:
- Golden Lotus – Unlocks Shado-Pan and August Celestials
- Shado-Pan – Epic ilvl 489 gear with proper stat focus
- Klaxxi – Awesome DPS and tank gear
- Order of the Cloud Serpent – Optional, but mounts + some gear
Pro Tip: Use the Grummle Trail questline to fast-track access to the August Celestials and Shado-Pan dailies.
Step 5: Craft Gear or Buy It
Crafting is your friend. If you’re a blacksmith, tailor, or leatherworker, make your own ilvl 458–476 gear. Otherwise, buy Contender’s or PvP-crafted items off the AH to patch up weak slots.
Key items:
- Contender's Dragonscale/Bloodscale sets
- Living Steel weapons
- Jewelcrafted rings and trinkets
These will boost your ilvl quickly for LFR access.
Step 6: Timeless Isle Rush
The Timeless Isle is packed with gear tokens and events. Here’s what to do:
- Loot chests across the island for random 496 tokens
- Kill rare elites like Evermaw, Cinderfall, and the High Priests
- Use Burdens of Eternity on key slots to boost to 535 ilvl
- Farm Timeless Coins and turn them in for gear, mounts, and more
Solo players, this island is a goldmine of passive upgrades. You can go from 440 to 500+ in an hour or two with luck.
Step 7: Start LFR & Weekly Raid Lockouts
Once you hit ilvl 460, jump into Mogu’shan Vaults LFR. From there, unlock Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring.
LFR drops:
- Tier 14 pieces (ilvl 476–483)
- Strong weapons and trinkets
- Easy raid experience
Complete the legendary questline (Wrathion) alongside this to start working on your Legendary Cloak.
