I also missed the Ruins of Gan-Shi portion for the Upjade Complete meta. This was the last quest I had completed. The next one - Simulcrumble - can be retrieved by clicking on some rubble on the ground - and broken statue. It will have an exclamation point and will be right in the same area.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sprites' PlightThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    <Living statues rampage through the woods. For now, they seem content in pummeling the forest sprites into splinters, but if they continue any further the pandaren will have more than just missing jade to worry about.>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • SimulacrumbleThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    <The shattered remains of an ancient mogu statue. This one looks like it never animated before it was broken. Whatever dark magic the mogu are employing here, it seems to make the brittle statues significantly tougher. Better to destroy them while they are still vacant.
