Proving Grounds is a Horde-only quest for level 35. It rewards 600 experience and money.

Description

You there! It's <name>, right? Greetings. I'm Jinho.

You look strong. I've seen you a few times here in the Vale, but I've never seen you fight before. I wonder... are you as strong as you seem?

If you're interested in proving yourself, speak with Trial Master Rotun at the Temple of the White Tiger, in Kun-Lai. He will put you to the test.

The quest currently seems bugged. I talk to the guy, but he doesn't allow me to queue for whatever the resulting thing is.

Well, I kept running out of time at the Bronze level so clearly my uber Warlock sucks at this. But wait..I've been here since Vanilla. Knight Lieutenant in PvP. Didn't get a dozen classes to 90 by killing rabbits & squirrels. I was at the gate when it opened for the first time.
Maybe speed is not what it's all about. There is an old story about the old bull and the young bull, who wants to run down the hill and service one of the cows. The old bull suggest they walk down the hill and service all of the cows.
