The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest is only obtainable after completing the first four chapters in the Jade Forest main quest line.
The Jade Forest quest line is actually the first one you obtain upon entering Pandaria, so this begins in Stormwind with The King's Command which can either be picked up on a character in Pandaria Timewalking (you must be level 1-49 and talk to Chromie to start this) or you can pick up Hero's Call: Jade Forest! from the Hero's Call Board on any character level 50 or higher. If it doesn't show up right away try picking up some other quests from the call board until the one you want appears. You can just discard the extra quests and pick them back up anytime. Once you have that quest you can just simply follow the quest chain up to this one.
You will need to complete these four chapters:
- Paw'don Village
- The Waterspeaking Ceremony
- The White Pawn
- Pearlfin Village
When you arrive you get some curious panda kids that follow you around, proudly declaring "I'm not afraid of you!"

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Carp Diem
Despite the hozen's apparent disarray, there is an order to their chaos. Their leader, Chief Gukgut, is the shrewd mastermind behind their attacks. He is organizing their movements at the great pit at the hozen camp to the northwest. Strike now and show him no mercy, <name>, for he will do the same.
- Let Them Burn
Advance scouts report that the hozen at the Slingtail Pits are amassing with reinforcements from their tribes to the north. Our forces are gathered for battle on the ridge to the northwest. They are just waiting for you. Now is the time to show them what we are made of.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dawn's Blossom
Blood and Thunder! My axe hungers! We won't return to Orgrimmar until every last Alliance is purged from this land. I will train these natives myself, if I have to. One way or another, this land will be made ready for Horde settlement.
