Description

Strange thing about wind, it can be hard to wrap your hands around it.

Best practice for me has been finding some sort of living wind. If it can punch you, you can punch it back, and it won't slip through your grasp.

Head over to the Shrine of the Summer Breeze to the south and summon just such a living wind using this wind stone. Best it, gather a Fluttering Breeze from it, and come back over this way so that we can figure out what's next.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Kindling the FireThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Now that that's done with, let's get to it then! Huo, the spirit of fire, hungers for dry dogwood root kindling. It grows among the trees south of the village. It should be easy enough for you to gather some.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Spirit's GuardianThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    You've done very well this far, my student. You have the materials you need to rekindle Huo, the spirit of fire. In the cave to the southwest he awaits, but he is guarded by Master Li Fei, the pandaren elder you met in the Cave of Meditation. Go to Master Li Fei with the offerings.
