I don't know if anyone's reported this or not, usually not a problem with me as I don't normally get separated from Mudmug. However, this time I did and came here to find out where the big banana was. I noticed the map on this page has the wrong location for the turn in, Chen is now at the Halfhill Market and not where we first find him when we first enter Valley of the Four Winds. In fact, he's right out front of the Lazy Turnip inn, location /way 55.89, 49.52.

The map on this page shows him at 86, 22.

So, if you lose him the big banana is located at /way 54.23, 38.88 right where you pick him up for this quest.

Be sure to do every other quest around that area before you get Mudmug back to Chen; he has some awesome anecdotes along the way.

Mudmug says: I thought I could carry a lot... until I saw all the crud you carry around in those bags o' yers.

No, no, no, don't you worry about pickin' 'em up. I can hold these here barrels. I may not be the handsomest pandaren, or the smartest, or any fun to be around in the slightest, but I'm stronger than a mushan beast. I'mma just need you to lead the way.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Great Water HuntValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Look at it, <name>: the Gilded Fan. I heared lots of good things about the water they got here. Lots of bad things, too. No sayin' what kind of water Chen's gonna be needin', so what say we make him a little sampler platter? Come on, let's get movin'. We'll go scoop up some water together.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Li Li and the GrainValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    I'll let you in on my brewing plan, <name>: I'm planning on making an Emperor Stout. Done right, it should be dark, roasty, and high in alcohol. <A frown appears on Chen's face.> I just realized... I never told my plans to Li Li. She'll have no idea what type of grain to bring back!
