World of Warcraft Classic Unveils Mists of Pandaria Enhancement Packs

World of Warcraft has rolled out the new Mists of Pandaria Classic upgrades, offering fans some intriguing additions. These packs feature a Sha-touched pet, a toy, a transmog set, a ground mount, and the Skyriding mount, available for both Heroic and Epic versions. These Sha-Infused Packs bring a fresh look with corrupted cosmetics that can be used in both Classic and modern versions of World of Warcraft.

As announced at last year’s Warcraft Direct, Mists of Pandaria is making its way to WoW Classic, enabling players to revisit this beloved expansion. Although a specific release date hasn’t been pinpointed, with the final major update for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic just released, it seems Mists of Pandaria is on the horizon.

To get fans geared up for the expansion, World of Warcraft has introduced upgrade packs filled with snazzy cosmetics. The Sha-Infused Heroic Pack, priced at $40 through the Battle.net store or in-game, equips you with the Sha-Touched Cloud Serpent flying mount, the Sha-Touched Riding Tiger ground mount, the Sha-Touched Tea Set toy, and Stormstout’s Sha-Touched Collection transmog set, along with the Joyous Sha pet for Classic. There’s also a modern WoW variant that includes Sha-Warped versions and the Merriment pet. All these goodies, except the transmog set, are ready to be used now; the transmog set will unlock with the Mists of Pandaria Classic Pre-Patch.

Turning to the details of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic Upgrades, here’s what each version includes:

For modern WoW, gamers receive:
– Sha-Warped Cloud Serpent Skyriding Mount
– Sha-Warped Riding Tiger Ground Mount
– Merriment Pet
– Sha-Warped Tea Set Toy
– Ensemble: Stormstout’s Sha-Warped Collection Transmog Set (available post Pre-Patch)
– 30 Days of Game Time (only in the Epic Pack)

For Classic WoW, players can enjoy:
– Sha-Touched Cloud Serpent Flying Mount
– Sha-Touched Riding Tiger Ground Mount
– Joyous Pet
– Sha-Touched Tea Set Toy
– Ensemble: Stormstout’s Sha-Touched Collection Transmog Set (available post Pre-Patch)
– 30 Days of Game Time (only in the Epic Pack)
– Level 85 Character Boost (only in the Epic Pack)

The Sha-Infused Epic Pack, tagged at $80, throws in a Level 85 Character Boost for Classic and 30 days of game time. Given that boosts alone typically cost around $60 and game time $15, the Epic Pack presents a compelling value for those aiming to max out a character in the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time players have caught glimpses of the Sha-Touched Cloud Serpent and Riding Tiger. Prior to the expansion’s reveal at Warcraft Direct, these mounts appeared on Cataclysm Classic PTR, prompting speculation they would feature in the Mists of Pandaria upgrade kits. This theory was vindicated four months later with the packs’ official release.

These newly rolled-out upgrades also provide a timeline for the launch of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic. As per the store details, the expansion is expected to go live by August 31, with a Pre-Patch event slated for July 31. Although these dates could shift, it looks like adventurers will soon be venturing into Pandaria within the next six months.
