Thank you for this loopzig, I had no idea what to do. I appreciate you for posting this!

“ for remix...just fly through the warning "You are Leaving the timeline. Turn Back." Your screen will go black and white and then back to color as you near the river.”

( I meant to add this as a reply about the Remix version! Oops)

Description

We still do not know where Ban-Lu has gone to, but I do know who might. To the southeast lives a jinyu, Waterspeaker Ryuli. Perhaps he has seen Ban-Lu, or can ask him to inquire with the river about where Ban-Lu has been seen recently? All this travel has done a number on my old joints, Grandmaster. I shall rest here a bit longer, and then catch up with you later on.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Clean-up on Aisle ShaLevel 45

    I've spoken with the Shado-pan and they are willing to give us information if we can assist them with a task of their own. Speak with Commander Shen-Li. While you're assisting them, I shall continue to meditate.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lilies for RyuliLevel 45

    I have not seen Ban-Lu, but the waters will surely know where he is. There is a flower that grows in the lakes of the mountain slopes near the Temple of the White Tiger, that only blooms in the presence of someone pure of heart.
