The entrance to the cave that contains the boss you need to kill is at...

/way 57.4, 38.4

If you don't have coords.. Look at the map of the vale - In the middle are two big statues with spears and the text "The Golden Pagoda". Between the statues you will see an image of the pagoda (looks like a little hut). Fly to the pagoda and you will see the cave entrance just to your north.

Go into the cave, dodge some trash, kill the boss (~2.3M HP for me). Smash, bash, win.

The quest item ([item=170385]) drops from one of three different NPCs in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, depending on the current assault:

• [npc=153326], located at (81,27) when the N'Zoth Invasion (Assault: The Black Empire) is active. He is underground; the entrance to his cave is at (57,38).
/way 81 27 Vil'raxx
/way 57 38 Vil'raxx Entrance

• Kri'vin, located at (13,56) when the Mantid Invasion (Assault: The Endless Swarm) is active.
/way 13 56 Kri'vin

• Torsheg, located at (45,13) when the Mogu Invasion (Assault: The Warring Clans) is active.
/way 45 13 Torsheg

Contrary to what some people here are saying, killing one of the Uldum assault leaders will not drop the quest item. I tested this personally. You can only get it from whichever assault leader is active in Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Also, you do not need to complete the whole assault in order to complete the quest. You can just kill the assault leader, though I'm not sure why you'd do that because once you do the assault, it will task you with killing one of the above NPCs and you'll get credit for both quests doing it this way. Best to kill two birds with one stone.

Description

If the Highkeeper is so convinced that we don't stand a chance against our enemies, perhaps a show of force would sway him. I am not sure how you would manage, but if you could bring proof of a victory against those who threaten the Vale, it may convince him that action should be taken.

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.

  • Time-Lost WarriorsLevel 50

    According to the scouting report ye found, the Rajani are holed up in the Silent Sanctuary, overlooking Mistfall Village. They are described in the report as seclusive and dangerous, so we'd had best take caution when approaching them. I'll meet ye there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Engine of Nalak'shaLevel 50

    Your kind have proved me wrong in the past, so I will give you a chance to do so again. The titan structure which houses the Engine of Nalak'sha spans the entirety of Pandaria. There are more ways to reach it than just the Mogu'shan Vaults.

The storyline at a glance

The Engine of Nalak'sha has 9 steps, from It's Never Easy to Magni's Findings.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Vale of Eternal Blossoms (6), Chamber of Heart (2), Kun-Lai Summit (1).
