Description
We don't have many rules here, but we do have one particular rule that is worth remembering. If you want to eat... <Xiao's stomach grumbles audibly.> ...you have to work. Groundskeeper Wu can give you your chores for the day. He's in the market, to the west.
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.
- Attention
Your next test also involves concentration and attention. I want you to practice your abilities on the training bags in the pit below. The bags are hung in groups of two. When I call out "Left", attack the bag on the left. When I call out "Right", attack the bag on the right.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Proper Weapon
First things first, though. A proper trainee needs a proper weapon. And a scrupulous trainee builds his own... or at least gathers the materials. The switches which grow nearby should suffice for any respectable weapon. You'll also need to shop for black walnut extract to treat the wood.
