/way Vol'dun 36.59 32.25 Alliance quest from Quartermaster Alfin
/way Vol'dun 36.14 36.78 Alliance quest from Jani

Step 2: Find Jani in 12 Mysterious Trashpiles all over the Zandalar.
You need either to complete quests or bring drop items.

All the items drop from mobs in the area near the Trashpile.
I list just 1 option, but usually you can farm them from similar mobs in the area.
After you bring the item Jani gives you treasure chest (Jani's Stash).

I am noticing sometimes the trash piles are bugged, and after giving Jani the tribute, the chest won't appear. It takes about 1-2 minutes, but it will appear. Just hang out until it does.

i wish this achievement was hidden and there was something more to it

Wish Granted!

For those wondering why one would bother with this achievement, here's why:
Once you have completed this achievement then the pet vendor in Zandalari Happy Holaua will have the battle pet Child of Jani available for purchase for the low-low cost of 100 Polished Pet Charms.

Fret not if you are Alliance! Holaua has no faction as of the making of this post and will sell to anyone, Alliance or Horde. While the trip up the road may be hazardous for ones health, the NPC's in and around Holaua's shop won't attack you.

Comment by Shanody

If you find a trash pile before Jani has called out to you, you won't be able to loot it. It will let you interact but the only dialogue option Jani will have is 'Release me'. In that case, just wander off a bit until Jani's whisper shows up and then check back.

Comment by Grimstab

Anyone know of a tracking script so you know which you have completed incase you forget?

Comment by gunsotsu

step 1 - complete intro qeusts
step 2 - kill stuff and loot special items
step 3 - jani immediately whispers you when you get an item
step 4- go to jani at the nearest trash pile in the zone you looted the item (going to a different location wil result in utter failure)
step 5 - hand jani the item
step 6 - collect riches
step 7 - do this many times
step 8 - get achievement which unlocks battlepet.

Comment by chuilovestoads

Something I have noticed, if you play a hunter... be sure to dismiss your pet BEFORE doing any of Jani's prank quests. Some of them will have your pet phase out for the duration of the quest, but for others, like The Great Hat Robbery, your pet can still accompany you, and will cause you to "die" every time you bite the caravan. It doesn't prevent you from completing the quest, but it can be a bit annoying to have to run back and forth each time your pet takes damage.

Comment by Shashos

Even though this achievement shows up as Battlenet wide on each alt you log on, only the alt (or alts) that actually completed it can access the Child of Jani pet from the vendor, Happy Holaua.

I completed it on my Alliance hunter, only to realize that the vendor is located in Dazar'alor, The Great Seal which is the main Horde starting area. I wasn't up for a multiple death run through tons of guards and players while flagged to get to the vendor on that alt. I tried logging in my Horde hunter, but Happy did not have the pet available for him. I had to actually complete the entire achievement on him before she offered it up for purchase.

Even though it seems common sense that it wouldn't carry over battlenet wide after being completed once, there isn't any published info stating so and others may wonder about this as well.

TLDR: Compete the achievement on whichever alt you want to purchase the pet with.

Comment by vindurza

Dis be a must do achievement for any rogue, Jani be the lord of thieves after all so he be ya patron loa.

*update* And it have an even greater bonus than letting you care for one our loa's pups. It lets have access to raising Jani's holy shrine pile in zuldazar which will let you scrap anything at the various junk piles around the map.

Comment by skittled

If you are Alliance, it is actually very easy to get to Happy Holaua without even getting pvp-enabled. Simply enter through the northeast entrance. The Royal Guardians will not pvp-flag you and they leash rather quickly. Once you've crossed the bridge you can go the rest of the way without aggroing anything. This was a lot less work than doing the achievement a second time on a horde character.

Thanks Varenne for the coordinates.

Comment by dathey4

Did anyone else have trouble getting the Feathered Serpent Scale? I have killed hundreds of these things, but I can't seem to get this item. I don't know if the RNGs just hate me or if it's bugged. Do I need to be on a specific World Quest to get them? I feel like there's something I'm missing.

Comment by Kurasu

Don't be deceived by the low drop rates on many of the items that Jani is asking for. Once you have unlocked her quests, while it's nowhere near 100%, I was able to get the items to drop within about 10-20 kills max on the things that dropped them.

The low drop % is due to *every* loot on those creatures being taken into account, including people who are not on the quest and people who have already completed it.

Also, as the items don't drop until you have done the opening quests, make sure you don't kill multiple hours trying to get a drop before you have done either Pests (for Horde) or Pests (for Alliance).

"Anyone know of a tracking script so you know which you have completed incase you forget?"

Not sure why you got downvoted as I came here hoping for the same thing. I just got an item that requires me to have finished this and I don't remember where I was.

Comment by AzerateAeriePeak

If it's taking you hours to get the item, chances are you had already looted the item previously and put it into your bank, like I did with 2 of the items. The drop rate isn't that low, it will drop within a couple of minutes, if not, look in your bank.

This can easily happen if you completed the initial quest for Jani and then lost interest. I got 3/4 of the items while just doing WQs.

Comment by adam6961

For anyone having trouble with any of the "quests" for Jani that involve not getting killed by spiders and guards I highly recommend using any Azerite gear with the trait Resounding Protection or if you are level 115 and under equip Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus if you have it.

The absorb will allow you to get hit at least once before failing the quest, if you can stack multiple absorbs you can do these quests with your eyes closed... almost.

Comment by Sarthorius

In 8.1 you get to unlock Scrapping stuff on Her piles too, after you did this, by raising an altar for her (I think on the same place you did for one of the 2 you do while questing in Dazar'alor).

Comment by obbig

All of the trash piles and associated mobs are in quest areas so unless you are in a rush you'll find yourself getting these done whilst doing other things. Only difference is the quests such as Taking the Loa Road where you have to click on the trashpile to start it, it doesn't come from a drop. As you wander around the zones you'll sometimes see small green Child of Jani running around (the pet you can get at the end) - they are a sign that a trashpile is nearby, which also means that mobs in the local area are targets for an item. When you do loot an item you'll normally get a whisper in chat from Jani to "bring it closer", which is handy when looting multiple mobs at once lol.

Comment by CzechCloud

I am currently at around thousand kills for Golden Ravasaur Egg so prepare. It takes some time.

Comment by dasbaum

Watch out for Nesingwary's Trek & Rootway. Those two piles are close to each other. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't hand in Feathered Viper Scale for a long time. But I was at the wrong Trash pile >_>!
