Comment by asakawa

This is a really nice little guide. Very clearly laid out and informative!

(I'll send an email with details of what you were asking, daholyone)

Comment by MerenLB

Well written and easy to follow. Might be an idea to add map coördinates aswell.

Comment by FatalHeaven

I <3 this guide and will use it OFTEN when MoP goes live. Thank you!

Comment by snowfeather

Updated info on the Mogu - the urns were changed to tiles.

Edit: Embracing the Passions found, Skyrange, Valley of the Four Winds, overlooking the Heartland.

Comment by 746315

Victory in Kun-Lai appears to be at/in "Mogu'shan Terrace": just under the platform outside the raid there is a balcony. ~~Currently, an invisible wall blocks the object. It is possible that the only way to access it is within the raid.~~

Comment by 998555

Found the Cycle of the Mantid, it is on the south east side of the Clutch of Shek'zeer which is the black clawything fenced in area to the west of the Klaxxi base.

Comment by 153194

The map location for 'Jade Forest - Spirit Binders' tile is pretty off. It is Southwest of the current map marker. Across the plaza from the complete Mogu statue where you do the first set of quests. At the feet of the Broken Statue

Comment by 153194

Just found 'Together We are Strong'.. should be uploaded when i log off. Ruins Rise in North-west Vale of Eternal Blossoms

Comment by Lore

Really great guide. Really well written and really acurate descriptions of the locations.
I'll be linking this to guildies and everyone else who asks for locations.

Comment by nihmue

Very nice, thank you! :)

Just to add: the location of 'The Empress' is a bit off on your map, the point is farther to the east than shown.

Comment by Nobbel

Thank you for this guide, I couldn't have done the achievements without it.
For those who are interested, here's a beta video showing Lorewalker Cho as he tells all the stories:

Also made a video guide on how to get this achievement, coordinates are in the description:

Enjoy ^_^

Comment by 999490

Ha I was the one you talked to in that dungeon about one of the boxes for Lost and Found. I just posted a pic I was able to get into the cave but when i clicked the box I didnt get anything so as far as I can tell it is NYI. Hopefully soon though.

Comment by SFFCorgi

Wonderful guide, and I'm filling in some of the specific locations with text and screenshots. I have to mention, though, that the Dread Wastes locations do not need to be flown to, to reach them. The comments on the by-location tab above suggest they do.

Comment by 67998

Very handy guide, but Yaungol Tactics is bugged at the moment. If you have done all the quests in that area, you can't find it anymore. Guess it's a phasing issue. Atleast it is for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Comment by 55027

Birthplace of Liu Lang is currently bugged. If you've completed quests in the area, the location will be phased out. There are 3 methods I can think to get the credit if you've completed the quests.

1. Go inside the Stoneplow Inn, get Aspect of the Pack on (or some other speed enhancing tool) and quickly run around the east side of the building to click the item before it phases out
2. Be a warlock with your toon in the northeast corner of the building (In Phase), cast Eye of Kilrog, move around the building to get the credit.
3. Be a Priest and "Mind Control" someone who isn't phased and click on the item.

Comment by 55027

See The Thunder King for more descriptive location and screenshot (Assuming it gets approved) info

Comment by SFFCorgi

Hey, there's no place to put Mantid Society yet, so I'll add it here with my two screenshots if you have no objection.

Cost: About three deaths, one just-stupid. There's a LOT more bugs out there than there were the other week.
-------------------------
Mantid assaults on the Serpent's Spine are a terrible thing to experience, both as a defender and as a Mantid. Only the smartest, strongest or most agile of Mantid survive this encounter, and Pandaren defenders are slaughtered outright in terrible numbers.

Mantid survivors make their way back to the great trees, often bearing trophies of their conquests. There, they are welcomed back into the Mantid society, and take their place among their civilization according to the level of their deeds.

The purpose of this rite of passage is unclear, but those who travel beyond the wall are forewarned: Any Mantid you encounter beyond the wall is a hardened veteran, to be feared and respected.

Comment by Lore

Lost and Found: At least one of these has just been implemented in the latest patch.

The first one I've found is just east of the new Black Market building. Mason's Folly, with the item for the achievement being the hammer sitting on the floor. The Hammer of Folly
Another one Stack of Papers is in krasarang, up on the hill north of the nayeli lagoon flight master by the hatch.

If I had to guess I'd put good money on:
Hardened Sap of Kri'vess
Fragment of Dread
Saurok Stone Tablet
Being 3 of the other items for the achievement, where they're found though I don't know

Something else I came across the other day 'Ain't Lost No More' no idea if it's related or not.

(note: Valley of Emperors|Tomb of Shadows|Curious Text, probably nothing)

Comment by Amidaman

Found another treasure for lost and found. An item called "Kafa Press".
it is a mug of coffee that grants 4000 haste for 25 seconds, 10 min CD.

It is not a trinket, just an item you can use.

Location is in the large yeti cave in Kota peaks

Comment by 153194

Victory in Kun-Lai is now accessible :) Now to start on the Lost and Founds and other metas

Comment by Tauranbalanc

Found Gaarn the Toxic here;

http://i.imgur.com/MMKh8.jpg (No misc loot)

Salyin Warscout is another rare not listed ingame. He walks the waterline near Silken Fields (In front of Galleon)

Drops Salyin Battle Banner

Comment by Ospreyfalcon

Toric-Ethis is missing for Krasarang, it's a mantid that spawns near the other mantids next to the western road that leads to western V.o.t.4.W.

Comment by 1015120

Found Moldo One-eye in Vale of Eternal Blossom. He patrolled the river south of Whitepetal Lake, on the east bank. he dropped the Panflute of Pandaria for me

Comment by 1015309

I got my Lost and Found achievement from a chest at the bottom level of the ship southwest of Unga Inloo. Don't have a screenshot though, got a pair of 420 rare leather boots.

Comment by Mcelhatton

Found Ai-Ran the Shifting Cloud in the Cave below the Tu Shen Burial Grounds

Comment by Mcelhatton

Kang the Soul Thief on the rise just north of the Five Sisters in VOEB

Comment by 969039

I found a rare pandaria treasure called Banana Infused Rum in Krasarang Wild, I never got a screenshot because i didn't know what it exactly was until i collected it and got the achievement for it.

It drops when looted:

5x Banana Infused Rum
And the Recipe to make Banana Infused Rum

Unfortunately the items for these spells do not currently exist apparently, also, here is a screenshot of where i found it.

Comment by kgersen

build 15913:

the The Empress location was changed to 35.57 35.52

the The Emperor's Burden - Part 3 location was changed, it's now next to the instance entrace of the Temple of the Jade Serpent

Comment by 67998

Spirit Binders seems to be bugged or moved in new patch 15931. I have been all around the area where it should be, but it was nowhere to be found.

Comment by zerotacg

I did all the achievments just now and did an update / verification on the locations some where quite off, some swaped

Kah'tir was found in Townlong Steppes at 62, 35 in the little camp at the west end of the wall.

Comment by ritterjakey

So, I found a rare item which gave me the achievement, and I haven't found it on the page yet so I should report it here!
I was in Dread Wastes doing the Klaxxi quest-line (in the Briny Muck) and there was an npc "Rapana Whelk" basically a little snail with a green name and a dialogue box.
I followed the script and it said something along the lines of "There's something shiny on the whelk's back. Let's take it" or something like that.
I was awarded a iLevel 450 trinket:
Manipulator's Talisman
I'll attack two screenshots of the place I found the Whelk (both map and actual location)
Hope this helps, fellow treasure hunters!

Thanks to your guide i was able to make my own video version, although we only used this for a few we noticed a few of your maps and sites were out of date. Hopefully our video can help you update yours like you helped us. We linked your version in ours too to give you credit for helping us.

Love the guide! Can you please update the "Object #" references? I know it's a pain in the neck when the database is in a state of flux, but it helps all of us who use it.

Comment by snowfeather

Just an update, not sure how this will go live. Right now on beta all the small unique items have been replaced with a rolled up bamboo scroll telling the story.

Comment by 81380

forgot Victory in Kun-Lai , The First Monks is offset by a bit

Comment by Saliman

Any chance of adding the Jade Forest rare elites to the map? Thanks for this guide!

Comment by Chew

Barrel of Banana Infused Rum : found it at the position wowhead got it listed, containing the Recipe + 5x Rum rewarding Lost and Found .

Comment by Alisora

Cannot find Embracing the Passions, in Kunzen Village in valley of the four winds. I'm standing right on top of where the dot is on the map. It looks to be where the chief is standing; I killed him, but all around him are papers that just say Haipu. No embracing passions. Any additional clue to where it is?

Comment by Cizal

Jade Forest Rare mobs doesn't seem to have any dots

Comment by PugnaciousOne

I got tired of trying to sort through the lorewalkers stuff. Here's what i came up with to help:

Hope that helps.

Comment by Saliman

The Yaungol tactics are not in Townlong Steppes but in Kun-Lai (in Fire Camp Ordo).

It says your guide has been updated on October 2, could you perhaps also fix the broken item links?

Comment by 365880

Thank you, I could not have done this without your guide, even if it is off in a few places.

Comment by Netspook

Would be nice if this guide was updated. The lists for the lore objects are currently so full of errors that it's much better to read comments under each individual achievement for correct locations.

Comment by mikeyt

Excellent guide!, got all the achievements, and got Exalted w/Lorewalkers, easiest rep grind in the game! Kudos!

Comment by TheDOW

It only took me about an hour with 310% flyer to complete all of them. After every achievement Loremaster Cho sends you a scroll with a quest that you turn into him.
A warning: He will talk for 5 minutes per turn in (you actually get a 5 min debuff named "Stormtime") and is unable to complete quests until finished talking. If you are fast enough, you can turn in 2 quickly and Cho will clone himself and do both "cut-scenes" simultaneously.

Edit: Log out and back in to reset him!

One of the lost treasures i found right next to the Yaungoil, from The song of the Yaungol. Its a weapon rack.
Tx for the guide.

Comment by Hiuhime

When you turn in the quests, if you are a paladin and your not one to listen to the 5min stories, you can simply bubble or BoP, and the NPC will despawn, still giving rep and everything, but removing storytime debuff, allowing you to turn in another Q.

When i turned in 2nd, he bugged, so he stayed there, while a 'clone' of him went around talking, so i could just turn in all the quests without delay.

Hope anyone finds this of use.

Comment by leriana

For "Victory in Kun-Lai" It was easy to get to. It can be easily reached and seen. When you are looking out into Kun-Lai Summit from the Mogo'Shan Terrace, there is a smaller platform to your right. Fly over and its easily seen on the grounds.

Comment by 1085189

Very nice guide, tnx much. I like exploring world

Comment by nanciwithani

The Emperor's Burden part 7 is actually not at the Meeting Stone. It is slightly off to the east (right) side of it, with an NPC named Ahone the Wanderer, 40,42.

Comment by Thoraliss

The guide is very well written and includes a lot of datas but there are minor mistakes too. For example you said that Victory in kun lai is a wall and that is incorrect. All in all it's very helpful

Comment by 1116215

Quan Tou Kuo the Two Fisted is listed on the map pin as "No Achievement Any Longer". But I received the achievement today with this find. It was the last of the three brewfathers for me.

Comment by 121637

This guide is WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for putting it together.

The location description for The Emperor's Burden - Part 1 (in Dawn's Blossom in Jade Forest) is a bit strange. I found the scroll object at a small shrine in the middle of the lake near the flight master. I don't know what the "town portals" are.

Comment by 61412

first off. thank you for the guide.

noticed a minor error. in the Ballad of Liu Lang, you have Hozen Maturity in the by achievement instead of waiting for the turtle.

Comment by Miuho

Trapped in a Strange Land and Yaungol Tactics are other way around

Comment by Miuho

Victory in Kun-Lai can be found at the "N" of "Mogu'shan Terrace"

Comment by Expinapher

Thanks a lot for this guide and for the whole comunity :D I love you guys

Comment by Lula

Just a quick point: "Role Call" in Kun-Lai Summit isn't actually a fish statue, it's the rota type plaque on the wall, hence 'Role Call', it is though behind one of the common waterfall type fish statues that are around the place :)

Comment by Shadowpint

The guide above lacks precision unfortunately. Most of the points on the map are incorrectly placed. Even the description is wrong in some cases. Correct descriptions below:

The Emperor's Burden Part 1 - In the pond at Dawn's Blossom. There are no portals anywhere in sight. (What did the author smoke?)

The Emperor's Burden Part 3 - In the temple courtyard and not "at the end of the bridges".

The Empress - If you follow the description above you'll be looking in the wrong place. It's at a statue just north of the Heart of Fear main building.

Comment by GrandmaDeath

If you're planning on doing this all in one go like I did, don't make the mistake of handing all the missives in at the same time. Lorewalker Cho will narrate. Every. Single. One. Better to hand in as you complete each achievement.

Comment by Emiliafire

WARNING! Sooooooo many of these waypoints are off - by at least 40 yards! this guide is terrible - you have been warned!

Comment by Dahrkmezalf

Thank you so much for this guide!

This is one of those interesting, yet annoying set of achievements with no in-game indication of where they are, or that they're of any importance - until you figure out how to actually get rep with the Lorewalkers. My time in Pandaria years ago: I never really understood nor bothered with the Lorewalkers Faction. I finally completed it today, thanks to this guide and comments.

A few locations were a bit off, but as I understand it, they were slightly altered with patches and Expansions for some reason. If you're having trouble finding the locations, just be sure to click the corresponding link and read the comments for any updated coordinates.

Watching all the scenes is pretty fascinating, especially since most of it involves Pandaria's history around the time of the Sundering. We see how the Pandaren discovered some of the other races after a time, and even how (seemingly) a group of Tauren eventually became the Yuangol. So many juicy details across the board.

If you're not particularly fond of the Lorewalker's Tabard or the Red Flying Cloud, the history lesson itself is a decent reason to spend the hour or so it takes to find everything.
