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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Not In the Face!The Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Alright <name>, I was thinking about what we'd try next if the whole gong thing didn't work, and it came to me just like that! Water in the face always worked on me. It's got to be twice as effective for someone so dry and earthy!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Morning Breeze VillageThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    The fourth and final spirit is Dafeng, the spirit of air. When he is not in the skies, he can be found on the Ridge of Laughing Winds to the west. I've sent both Aysa and Ji to help you find him. When you are ready, I will summon winds to carry you to the top of the temple.
