These are the strongest stones across all of Shen-zin Su, yet they are as nothing before my mighty head.

THWACK.

Any yet who doubt my strength are simply foolish.

This one despawns on the spot after a few minutes, no walking.

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.

  • Rewritten WisdomsThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    <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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Direct SolutionThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Alright <name>, this is the second time we've had to deal with ravaging hozen. I think it's time we take care of this problem the Huojin way. No more patience. No more mediation. We go to the source. We're going into the hozen village to the north and we're punishing those smelly troublemakers.
