TheWoWDBThe quest is quite simple: kill 24 wildlife in the forest while you 'teach' the Jinyu how to fight. In practice this just means you have to kill wildlife. The Jinyu will assist in fighting and level up every time you kill something. After a couple of kills a different Jinyu class will come and be trained by you. This goes on until you've killed 24 wildlife.

How do I use this thing?
Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Hey, this isn't so bad.
I feel stronger than before.
Thank you, <Name>. I have had enough training.
Tidestriker Adept (Rogue) says:
My blades are sharp, but my skill is unhoned. I am ready to learn, <Name>.
I think I learned something new!
Hey, we're not doing so bad.
The fight isn't over yet!
I feel stronger than before.
Fight hard! Press onward!
Thank you for your help, <Name>. My daggers will cut through my enemies.Waveguard Adept (Tank) says:
Let me lend you my shield, <Name>. Allow me to protect you, so that I may better protect my village!
This training is really helping.
I think I understand now.
I'm ready for anything!
With this shield and sword, I will protect my friends and family.Watershaper Adept (Mage) says:
Teach me, <Name>! I will bend the forces of water to destroy our foes!
I feel stronger than before.
The secrets of the waters are now known to me. I will use these gifts to help the village.If only the average player learned to play their class so quickly ;)
Quest
Bigger Fish to Fry
A World of Warcraft quest in The Jade Forest. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
So, I decided to embark upon this quest and thankfully, a few Jinyu happened to group up with me for it. But I have to be honest, they're fairly awful groupmates to have.
The Rogue and Mage do awful DPS.
The healer doesn't cast until you're almost dead, or not at all.
The tank can't hold threat.
I feel like I just carried all four of them, and that they only used me to level!
0/10, WOULD NOT GROUP AGAIN.
They are NOOBS, the whole reason for this quest is that you are there to train them, so naturally they will be poor at what they do.

What to do
Description
I've prepared a team of bright young Pearlfin trainees who need field experience. Take them northeast, into the Bamboo Wilds, and kill any wildlife that you find. Don't bring them back until they're fit for battle.
