When I tried to do this quest yesterday, [npc=60161] offered me both The Defense of Shado-Pan Fallback and Turnabout at the same time. As a result, I didn't get credit for killing the Yaungol, and nor did I get any drops from the Sha.

This appears to be a bug — dropping both quests and just picking up The Defense of Shado-Pan Fallback allowed me to get credit for the kills and then I turned in, picked up Turnabout and all was good.

Description

Our true enemies are the sha, not the yaungol. The sha are emotion manifest. Destructive, yes. But undisciplined. Undisciplined force cannot last. The flood, in dispersion, loses its force. The wildfire burns its fuel. And, discipline and wisdom can turn their destructive energy against themselves. Bring me the essences of the sha in the village, and I will explain further.

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.

  • The Defense of Shado-Pan FallbackKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    I sent for reinforcements from the Shado-Pan Monastery, but have heard nothing back. We have already lost the town. A few lucky villagers may have survived, but we are pinned down here. We do not have time to entertain strangers. If you can fight, help my men defend this tower.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unmasking the YaungolKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    Simply killing Kobai will accomplish nothing, as he is possessed by a particularly powerful and destructive Sha - Malevolent Fury. You will use the trap I have fashioned from the Blinding Rage Essences you brought. Lure him into the trap, and then steal his mask.
