The Emperor's Gift

The Emperor's Gift is a quest for level 10-45. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Wandering Isle at 51.4, 48.4. It rewards 18,400 experience and money.

Description

Ah, Sheilun, the legendary staff wielded by our last emperor. If the Legion were to acquire this weapon, they could unleash untold horrors across the whole of the continent. They must be stopped!

If you want to get to the Terrace as fast as possible, you should hitch a ride directly to the mainland. Tak-Tak, a hozen kite-master, is skulking around west of the temple. Speak to him without delay.

I strongly recommend throwing caution to the wind and having all 3 companions going full dps during the final phase against the water boss, rather than having them focus on staying alive. That's your job, after all.

After numerous failed attempts to do this the "right" way, I found that they simply struggled to contain adds. Once I switched to having them be aggressive, it was a breeze.

Or, if you will, a mist.

What this quest asks of you in mistweaver spec:

1. Basically try to heal the worst pug ever
2. Heal them as they stand in void zones
3. Heal them as they have lousy dps
4. Heal them as they have no defensive cooldowns
5. Heal them as they fail to keep an excessive amount of adds from swarming you

Don't bother. Switch to your dps spec

Strange as it may sound I completely ignored everything to succeed. Went windwalker and told everyone to go all out. Used touch of death and touch of karma with an ox statue out for the little slimes. Spammed normal dps rotation only used one healing elixir, no pots. Whole fight was over in less than a minute. Lvl 102, ilvl 716 and only 3 artifact traits bought (up to rising winds). If the fight is giving you some trouble give this a shot, especially if you are like me and not a monk healer by trade.

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.
