Does anyone know of a way to get back to this area if you hearth out?
favrebites If you end up leaving the Temple of the Jade Serpent, talk to Elder Sage Wind-Yi and you can be teleported back into the quest area.
Thank you so much!

Description

Moths have infested the library. Moths! Any librarian worth his letters knows that moths are the most dangerous threat to paper, second only to bookworms. As it turns out, my assistants are a useless bunch of insect-fearing cowards. Please, you MUST help me get rid of the moths immediately! The works of a thousand pandaren storytellers depend on you!

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.
