While the quest text says you'll be given a weapon (for which you have gathered materials earlier), only some class/spec combos will it; everyone else won't get anything, not even a complementary monetary addition to the standard quest gold.

A bit disappointing, but eh.

This quest has been reported on WoW forums by many people as slightly bugged. For a lot of people, including myself, after completing this, they do not receive their promised reward, OR the meta achievement.

For some people, relogging worked, others had to hearth to org/equivalent. For a few, nothing seemed to work until they logged in the next day.

Eventually, you should end up with the achievement.

Edit: scratch slightly bugged, this quest is in dire need of a fix. People getting random achievements, titles and reports of a raid-quality staff have been popping up...

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The RumpusThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    Master Stone Fist has trained you in the art of one-on-one combat. Now you learn the art of one-on-many. How does fifty sound? Lower yourself into the Ring of Inner Focus below, then, when you're ready, set off this firework. My assistants will come at you, several at a time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DefianceThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    The damn mogu hit us out of nowhere! Anyone they don't kill on sight is being dragged away into the woods. This is the only safehouse, and its all I can do to hold the door. What do you say, friend? Are you willing to stand up and fight for the weak?
