DO NOT move out of the circle that the quest mob puts on the ground, it will pretty much almost kill you, then by the time you realize what's going on, she will probably hit you and you will die. In this case, it's good to stand in the crap on the ground, since if you move out of it, it will do a ton of damage to you!

This information wasn't listed anywhere except for on the mobs ability, so I thought that I would put it here to save people a little bit more searching!

Just interupt the boss's spell to make the circle on the ground other poster poster mention can kill you not even spawn.

Description

While I was in the Vale, I came across an ancient pandaren recipe for Memory Wine. I believe this brew can coax some helpful information out of Shan Kien. I am needed here, so I have no choice but to ask you to recover the essential ingredient for me. We need the spirit essence of a mogu that lived in the time of the memory we wish to see. You should be able to find just such a spirit inside the Path of Conquerors, to the northeast.

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.

  • The Kun-Lai ExpeditionLevel 15-35

    I have another message for you from High Chieftain Bloodhoof. It seems you've made quite the impression on him. He travels with the Warchief's vanguard into Kun-Lai Summit, to the north. They have set up an outpost, Garrosh'ar Advance, just east of One Keg. You had best not keep him waiting.
