WoW Insider has the latest on the Mists of Pandaria!

The Queue: I didn't do it

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.

What do you do when you can't think of an intro for The Queue? Steal an image from one of yesterday's articles and swear that you're innocent of it!

I'm innocent. I swear.

Brit asked:

From my fishing adventures in Pandaria, so far it seems to me that fishing from pools doesn't raise my fishing skill. Is this true? If so, why?

Not true! You can get skill points from fishing pools, but at high levels, any given cast of a fishing rod has no guarantee of giving you a skill up. This tends to cause the streaky situations you find in any luck-based aspect of games. You might get many casts in a row which all give you skill-ups. You might go many casts where you see no skill-ups at all.

@RzBg asked:

how on earth did the Horde kill 5(!) blue dragons to get the Focusing Iris off the Blues in the first place?!
@ShCPox asked:

Why 12? Kill 12 Mogu here, kill 12 Mogu there, kill 12 Mogu everywhere?

Because 13 is too many and 11 is just odd.

mbhahn asked:

Is there a lore reason or connection between townlong steppes and burning steppes? just a thought

Steppe is a noun describing a biome of generally flat, unforested grassland, most commonly found in southeastern Europe and Siberia. It is a real thing in the real world, not a word describing something in lore. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary provides the following sample sentence: "Nomads have long grazed yaks on the steppes of Mongolia."

brabbets asked:

What is your favourite zone so far and why?

I haven't done Dread Wastes yet, so that one might be awesome and I just don't know. So far, it's Townlong Steppes. Interacting with the Shado-Pan has been really cool, even if I think Taran Zhu is a big, smelly jerk who should die in a sha-fire.
