Haven't leveled a Panda in a while, but it looks like you choose your Starting Faction in the character creation screen now. Can you still make a neutral panda?
Not unless they fix a "bug" I reported the account wide training as not working to a GM who suggested I submit a bug report, but as it is currently you don't actually get your training until you leave the island. I was sitting nearby where people pick a faction on an alt earlier today and seen them getting the achievement for Giddy Up as they were ported off the island.Is it possible to use a mount on The Wandering Isle? I made a lvl 10 priest, but all I can use is the Sea Turtle.
Heirloom mount doesn't work. From about a minute of testing it looks like toys and pets consider the faction you picked on creation, but you only have a faction for mounts/mog/heirlooms when you leave.
Actually, that will not help but you can use aquatic-only mountsIs it possible to use a mount on The Wandering Isle? I made a lvl 10 priest, but all I can use is the Sea Turtle.
Interesting read! Glad to see you're still kicking around. I had originally made my panda stayer way back when you originally popularized it.Figured I'd post a link to it here. I made a guide, I'm still adding more to it, even as of earlier today.

Some people have guilds, it's also a method of getting stuff on Exile's Reach, even the starting ship... Got a level 61 there I believe. If you can get a mailbox somehow you can buy off the mobile AH.
I've been told if you use the gear boost thing that it forces you off the isle and changes your faction, not sure which one it forces you to, but I definitely wouldn't try it on a character you're willing to lose. Though it apparently used to give an error, not sure if it's back to an error instead of doing something... not something I'm willing to do on level 70s.
I've been updating the guide a lot after it went live to include a lot of what can be "fished" up. Also a lot more fishing achieves may be possible than what I originally thought.
