TheWoWDBThis quest is bugged for me. Can't kill fe-feng wiseman mobs. They keep evading and reseting their life, after my first hit.

Description
The hozen have stolen our brushes and are painting over our scrolls of wisdom with their own wisdoms, if you can call them that. If you're here to help, stop them and bring our brushes back before they can do more harm.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Morning Breeze Village
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.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rewritten Wisdoms
<name>, we must help Elder Shaopai. There are few more deserving of our kindness. On the way here, you surely noticed the scrolls of wisdom hanging in the grotto to the south. The hozen have defiled many of them, and sadly, they are not recoverable.
