At the completion of this quest Jojo will (just like with the quest Stronger Than Reeds) demonstrate that he can break the planks. He will also say:

Our crafters build the finest wooden planks. They would weather the most brutal of storms. But they are as water before the storm of my crushing skull.
Nothing made by pandaren hands can withstand me.


He then walks away all the way up to Mandori Village where he despawns in one of the houses. (coordinates 55,56)

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.

  • Missing MalletThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    <name>, I've got it! It's simple really. Let's make a ruckus so loud that there's no way he can sleep through it. Why look at that, a conveniently placed gong! Makes me think this may just be how they've awoken him in the past. We just need the matching mallet to get it ringing as loud as possible.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Raucous RousingThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    You ready for this, <name>? I'm thinking maybe we should have looked for something to cover our ears, but it's a bit late for that now. Just remember that the intense ringing you'll be hearing for the next few hours is the ringing sound of victory! The honor's all yours, <name>.
