Description

I'm sure your pandaren friend has some ideas about what the mogu are after.

He headed up the mountain a few days ago without a guide, and asked that only you be sent up after him. He was very specific:

"The <class> must endure the trek alone, with only his thoughts. He will honor each shrine before meeting me at the top."

The path is just northwest of the camp, marked by flags. Please be careful! Seeker's Folly is a dangerous trek even on a lucky day.

If one of the shrines doesn't work for you, rather than abandoning and doing it again (which has been confirmed to work), I just ran to the top of Mount Neverest for fun. When I came back down, the shrine works.

Apparently, just going a distance away from it and coming back works as well. Hope this helps.

There are three shrines, just follow the flags from 46, 48 up. Avoid snowballs and tornadoes. Making it all the way up the quest can be handed in to the left of the last shrine.

All three shrines will be marked in your mini map with a gear icon.

  • One Traveler's MisfortuneKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Did you have to throw our supplies at them?! Why not use your weapon? Maybe fancy spells or kicks? Why the supplies?! Now we don't have enough to last us, especially with Nephew Bentnail here. His appetite is like a yeti's! You threw it, you get us more. There is wreckage down the path.

After this quest

  • The Tongue of Ba-ShonKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Thank you for coming, <name>. I am sorry to have been so cryptic, but I could not risk alerting the mogu to my work here. They are seeking something in the valley. Plundering the tombs of their old kings for relics of power.
