with the quest Fog Wards you can one shot them with the fog wards , just gather 4 at each Fog and you will complete the quest nice and easy .
After hitting 87, but wanting the rare boots before moving on to Kun-Lai Summit, I thought I'd hit this guy up for his quest line first. However, you must complete this quest first before Master Bruised Paw will open up his quest lines.

Description
The mist in this forest is a constant nuisance - one which I'm glad to hand off to trainees like you. Strange creatures lurk in the mist between these trees, and they must constantly be pushed back. Consider this part of your training.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

We will start with a test: The Trial of Bamboo. Your friend Lin failed this test. Follow me, and listen carefully to my instructions.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fog Wards
Trainee. Several wards surround us, hidden in the woods near my home. They are quite effective at dispersing the mist, but they require constant upkeep. You will find one to the north, one to the west, and one to the south. Find these wards and light them.
