Introduction
As Pandaria has finally arrived, so have the newest features called Scenarios. In this specific activity, we will be running through a small encounter, that’s a bit shorter than a dungeon, but longer than a quest. Usually designed to feel similar to a smaller-scale questline, with few chapters along the way, and then at the end, a boss awaits you. They’re not very hard, but there is a Heroic difficulty for some, to make it a bit more challenging.
All Scenarios added in MoP
Group Scenarios have Normal and Heroic difficulty and a player limit of 3. They can be queued from Group Finder, so you don’t have to worry about finding a group. It will usually take less time than the dungeon queue. Each Scenario has an item level requirement, usually being either 425 or 490, with Solo ones having no said requirement.

Best Tips for Scenarios in Pandaria
Group Scenarios are not as challenging as Heroic Raids can be. Usually best tip is to stick to your teammates and try to do as many objectives as required as fast as you can, so you reach the last boss fast. Dropping enough heals, ccs, or interrupts can make the progress go much faster, and saving your cooldowns for the bosses or elite mobs will be a good way to easily breeze through this content.
Solo Scenarios are a bit harder; they require patience, good preparation, and smart use of your defensive and offensive cooldowns. They’re essentially similar to the Legion's Mage Tower, where you will learn as you progress through the encounter, using the tools the game provides to you, such as enchanting your gear or applying sockets, and using elixirs will help you. Once solo ones get released, we will have a proper guide for each one of them explaining the best strategies to get them done in no time!
