Attention: If you're an upper level character having difficulties initiating this questline and none of the above options have worked, try the following:

1. Go to the Hero board in your city - you're likely going to see 3 completely irrelevant zone missions other than Jade Forest.
2. Don't panic, you've got this.
3. Pick up one of the three irrelevant Heroes Call missions anyway.
4. Check your board again.
5. Repeat as needed, Jade Forest will appear as an option eventually,
6. Abandon irrelevant Heroes Call missions.

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.
