Midsummer Fire Festival Quests (Pandaria) step 7

[ZalidTheBur]

I am trying to do these on my level 88 char, which obviously means I cannot fly.
Been no issue until this step to go to the Dread Wastes flame.
It sent me to the 2 Moons fp from the Halfhill fp. Then I walked to the general area that there is meant to be a portal. Seems like the portal is on the wall, which I cannot access from ground level.

If you need to get up on the wall there should be rope laying on the ground that you can click on.

[ZalidTheBur]

I know there is one on the Dread Wastes side, but could not find one on the Vale side.
I'll take another good look, but have my doubts.

[cabby]

Hmm... I'm not sure... never tried to get out of the Vale before I could fly. Worst case you should be able to pop into Kun-Lai and head west to go up to the top of the wall at the Shado-Pan Fallback.

[ZalidTheBur]

Well surely the guide should be doing this for me.

It knows I cannot fly as it has told me to use flight points. Or at least that's what I thought. Especially when it told me to use the fp from Halffill to 2 moons and then go to Dread Wastes. If I was able to fly then it would have been easier just to fly from Halfhill to Dread Wastes.
If that is not the case then it should be changed to check for flight capability. If that is not possible, then it should at least check your level and if under 90 then it should know you cannot fly in Pandaria.

Thanks for the tip about the Shado-Pan Fallback. I'll check that out as it may be easier than my old way of running through the Dread Wastes.

[cabby]

Shado-pan Fallback is also a method that is used for getting on the wall in order to get into the Vale before you unlock the gates in order to get the flight path at your factions town.

[ZalidTheBur]

Right. Shado-Pan Fallback is a valid option.
I should also clarify that the travel system is telling me to go to Vale then try and scale the wall into Dread Wastes, which is impossible.

It may be better if the guide went from Four Winds to Kun-Lai.
Then to Townlong Steppes via Shado-Pan Fallback, as you can then drop down into Townlong Steppes by Serpent's Spine (Kun-Lai) fp.
Then you could fly back to Shado-Pan Fallback and run down the wall to Serpent's Spine (Vale of Eternal Blossoms).
Then you can use the rope to get down to Dread Wastes.
Go to Soggy's Gamble.
Fly back to Serpent's prine (Vale of Eternal Blossoms) and jump off the wall into Vale of Eternal Blossoms and go to Two Moons.
Making sure that you grab the Flight Points in each area.

I've used this system for a few of my alts now, and it's so easy.
The only thing I would note is that the step where I say :

Then to Townlong Steppes via Shado-Pan Fallback, as you can then drop down into Townlong Steppes by Serpent's Spine (Kun-Lai) fp.

should be changed to :

Then to Townlong Steppes via Shado-Pan Fallback, as you can then drop down to Townlong Steppes by going past the Serpent's Spine (Kun-Lai) fp and dropping down around 32,79.
