Taoshi says: I'll handle the rest of this. You take those arrows and get to the action at the bridge.

Translation: I'll stay here where it's safe since you killed everything. You take those items I didn't lift a finger to help you with and go put your life in harm's way again.

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.

  • Taking StockTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    I was dispatched back to camp to gather pitch-tipped arrows for our archers at the bridge, and this is what I came to. I trained with most of these pandaren... I wasn't prepared for this. Still, the archers at the bridge need our help.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Up In FlamesTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    The mantid coming across the bridge have thick carapaces that shrug off most of our attacks. They have a weakness though: fire. Lao-Chen's men brought kegs to the battlefield for exactly this purpose. Kick the kegs into groups of mantid, and Lao-Chin's archers will light them up.
