Objectives

Select an artifact weapon to pursue.

• Artifact weapon chosen

Description

The Burning Legion took us by surprise at the Peak of Serenity. We will not allow them to do so again!

We have trained hard, but we need weapons capable of destroying this great evil if we are to have any chance of success.

Our scrolls speak of several weapons that should prove suitable, but we are unable to decide which one to pursue first.

The choice, Grand Master, is yours.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 1 54
• 1,500 XP

Completion

As you wish, Grand Master.

Notes

Players should pick the artifact for the spec they wish to level to 110, as it will be some time before the others can be acquired.

Brewmaster

 [Fu Zan, the Wanderer's Companion]

Legends tell us that long ago a staff was formed from the first tree to grow in Pandaria.

It is said that the bearer of the staff cannot be harmed by any weapon.

It is said that the staff was last possessed by the Monkey King. It is with him that we should begin our search.

Mistweaver

 [Sheilun, Staff of the Mists]

Long ago the last pandaren emperor used his staff, Sheilun, to shroud all of Pandaria in mists.

The staff has remained at the Terrace of Eternal Spring for generations. When the Legion attacked Pandaria, Shado-Pan defenders rushed to secure the area. They haven't reported back, and we fear the worst. The staff must not fall into the wrong hands!

Windwalker

Fists of the Heavens ( [Al'burq],  [Alra'ed])

Travelers returning to the isle from abroad brought with them an intriguing tale. They describe an ancient pair of hand blades said to grant their bearer the power of the storm.

Little is known about these mysterious weapons, but if their legends are true, we should consider searching for them.

In case you close the window, speak with Ponshu again

 I've changed my mind. Let me pick a different artifact.
