Peel banana first, eat second.
Wet fur not fun to sleep on.
Don't roll in own poo unless you want to smell like poo all day.
Steal a banana from a hozen, expect an angry hozen.
Poo not good to eat, but very good to throw.
Mouth only hole that banana go in.
Don't throw banana peel where going to walk.
Firecracker for throwing, banana for eating.
Don't pull own tail when there are other tails to pull.

RewardsHandgrips of Verity, Gloves of Wisdom, Gloves of Verity, 5g 35s, 2,750 XP

Description

{name}, we must help Elder Shaopai. There are few more deserving of our kindness. On the way here, you surely noticed the scrolls of wisdom hanging in the grotto to the south. The hozen have defiled many of them, and sadly, they are not recoverable. We will deal with the problem directly - burn the defiled scrolls. Wipe the hozen writings away entirely. Do not worry for Elder Shaopai. The people shall come together and help him rewrite the wisdoms in time. I shall see to that.

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.

  • Tools of the EnemyThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    The hozen have stolen our brushes and are painting over our scrolls of wisdom with their own wisdoms, if you can call them that. If you're here to help, stop them and bring our brushes back before they can do more harm.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stronger Than StoneThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Gather me stone blocks from the Ridge of Laughing Winds to the south. You have seen my strength twice, yet I still spy doubt within your eyes. It will not last.
