The Shado-Pan is a warring faction that protects the Pandaren lands.
Specifically, they guard the Serpent Spine, the great wall that separates
the Pandaren from the Yaungol and the Mantid.
After reaching level 90, you will be able to increase your reputation with
the Shado-Pan by doing daily quests at the Shado-Pan Garrison in the Townlong
Steppes. There, you will have to attack nearby Yaungol, Mantid, and Mogu outposts.
In this guide, we will detail the three questing locations and explain how to
obtain all the related achievements.
1. Overview
Every day, you will be able to do the daily quests proposed at the Shado-Pan
Garrison in the Townlong Steppes. These daily quests will send you questing
at 1 of 3 questing locations where you will always do 4 warm-up
quests before doing a final quest, during which you will have to kill an elite mob.
Every day, you will be able to choose a Shado-Pan NPC who will accompany you
through the quests, helping you fight your foes. Every now and then, you will
be offered a challenge quest at the Shado-Pan Garrison, during which
you will need to defeat a Shado-Pan champion. Succeeding will unlock the help
of this NPC for your daily quests.
From the point of view of the reputation grind, you will earn 250 reputation
from each of the daily quests, meaning that you will earn 1,250 reputation a day.
If you get a challenge quest, then you will earn an additional
350 reputation.
You can earn another 400 reputation a day by doing the Shado Pan Work Order
at your farm ().
Note that you can easily reach (almost) honored
reputation by simply doing all the Shado-Pan quests in Townlong Steppes.
After reaching exalted reputation, there will
be a mini quest line to serve as a conclusion to your adventures with the
Shado-Pan.

3. Daily Quests
Every day, you will be given one of three sets of daily quests. Each set of
daily quests is named (according to the type of NPC that will accompany you,
see next section) and takes place in a specific area of the Townlong
Omnia Mystics (at Shan'ze Dao);
Blackguard Defenders (at Deadtalker's Plateau and Fire Camp Gai Cho);
Wu Kao Assassins (at Sra'vess).
In each case, you will do 4 daily quests, which you can turn in to the
NPC accompanying you (see below), before having to kill an elite enemy unit in a final
3.1. Shado-Pan Heroes
Every day, you will be able to chose a Shado-Pan Hero to accompany you
in your daily quests. They will fight by your side, taunt the adds and make
the daily quests a lot easier. The following NPCs are available:
Not all of the NPCs will be available on a given day. It has been
that each NPC is tied to a particular set of daily quests.
Additionally, only 3 NPCs are available initially, the other NPCs are unlocked
at later stages by completing quests that will be given at the Garrison.
Omnia Mystics

The NPCs accompanying you will assist you with their abilities. Omnia Mystics
are like Frost Mages, they are DPS casters with a lot of slowing abilities. Blackguard
Defenders are tanks, they will taunt enemies and survive for a bit. Wu Kao Assassins
are Rogues, they will put you in Stealth mode when you are out of combat.
3.2. Omnia Mystics Quests
The Omnia Mystics daily quests are given to you by
at the Shado-Pan Garrison. They will send you to
the northern island of Shan'ze Dao, where you will have to prevent
the Mogu from experimenting with Cloud Serpents.
Depending on the day, you will get one of these 3 mini quest lines.
Quest Line #1:
First four quests: , ,
Final quest:
(automatically given).
Quest Line #2:
First four quests: , ,
Final quest:
(automatically given).
Quest Line #1:
First four quests: , ,
Final quest:
(automatically given).
None of these quests is complicated enough to warrant a detailed explanation.
Simply keep in mind that for , the NPC you have
to kill is located in a cave, the entrance of which is just south of the
quest objective on your map.
The first time you reach Shan'ze Dao, you will be able to take
quest from . He is
located inside the cave in the southern part of the island, where
the Shado-Pan has established a small outpost. Completing this quest
requires you to gather 1,000
mostly drop from
(small creatures that you find
in the south-western part of the island). You will be rewarded
with a portal that you can take to freely transport your character
from the Shado-Pan Garrison to Shan'ze Dao and vice versa.
3.3. Blackguard Defenders Quests
The Blackguard Defenders daily quests are given to you by
at the Shado-Pan Garrison. They will
send you to Deadtalker's Plateau and Fire Camp Gai Cho, just north-east of the Garrison,
where you will have to deal with the Yaungol.
Every day, you will be given the following quests.
First four quests:
(Deadtalker's Plateau);
(Deadtalker's Plateau, both);
(Fire Camp Gai Cho);
(Fire Camp Gai Cho).
Final quest:
(Deadtalker's Plateau) or
(Fire Camp Gai Cho).
3.4. Wu Kao Assassins Quests
The Wu Kao Assassins daily quests are given to you by
at the Shado-Pan Garrison. They will
send you to Sra'vess to wreck havoc on the base that the Mantid have
established there.
Every day, you will be given the following quests.
First four quests:
Two of the following:
Final quest:
Note that the NPC accompanying you will put in a sort of Stealth mode
when you are not in combat or interacting with objects, allowing you to move
rather freely around the Mantid mobs.
Also, , can be hard. There are about 4 or 5 such elite mobs
patrolling the island, so they can be difficult to find when too many players are also
doing the daily quests. Some of the elite mobs or their accompanying mobs have a sort
of fear, which will often cause you to pull more mobs into the fight, so be careful.
4. Shado-Pan Finale
When you reach exalted reputation,
will give you ,
which is followed by .
Completing these quests will grant you the
achievement as well as the
It is possible that you need to have obtained
before being given the quests.
5. Achievements
By reaching exalted reputation with the
Shado-Pan, you will automatically get the
achievements. Additionally, you will have done
the daily quests enough times to have received all the
challenge quests, thus triggering the
achievement. In the next sections, we explain
how to get the remaining achievements:
5.1. Know Your Role
To complete
, you need to complete each of the
Blackguard Defenders daily quests without taking damage from
monsters. Without taking damage m for example,
if you get hit while under the protection of a shield, such as
you will fail the objective.
Our first advice for this achievement, is to take one quest at a time. The
reason for this is simple. If you have several Blackguard Defenders
quests in your journal and you get hit, then you will fail them all and you will
have to abandon them.
Our second advice is to group with a friend and let them do all the work,
while standing at a safe distance. The next day, you can repay the favor.
If you cannot get anyone to help you, then you will have to heavily rely on
your Shado-Pan companion. One problem with that is that many mobs will still
target you with their abilities, even if the Shado-Pan companion is taunting
5.2. Fire in the Yaung-hole!
To complete
, you need to kill 15 mobs at the same
time during . During this quest, you have
to kill Mantid and Yaungol combatants at Fire Camp Gai Cho, using
(found at the camp).
At the battlefield (where the fighting occurs), you need to
wait until a large group of Mantid attacks a large group of Yaungol.
Then use the explosives when you can target both groups at the same time.
It looks as if the explosives do not always kill the targets right away
and leave a DoT. In this case, you can simply toss another load of
explosives to finish the enemies. They should still count
towards the completion of the achievement.
5.3. Silent Assassin
To complete
, you need to kill exactly
the right amount of mobs during the
. This means 4 elite Mantid mobs and
15 lesser Mantid mobs. Once you have turned in these
quests, you will be assured to get the achievement upon
completing the final quest of the day (even if you kill the
adds next to the final elite mob).
Players have reported that turning in the final quest while mounted
can prevent the achievement from triggering.
5.4. Loner and a Rebel
is a very straightforward achievement to complete. Simply
do each set of daily quests without a Shado-Pan companion. This means that you
must have the
buff active from the moment you
take the daily quests to the moment you turn in the final quest.
Omnia Mystics and Blackguard Defenders will normally not pose
problems. Wu Kao Assassins is another story. Without a companion in
Sra'vess, you will not be put into Stealth mode. This means that quests like
will take a lot more time and will be more dangerous.
5.5. Getting Around with the Shado-Pan
Completing the
achievement
requires you to do 15 daily quests with each of the 9 Shado-Pan
companions. This means 3 days worth of daily quests for each
companion, so 27 days in total (more if you are unlucky and
never get one set of dailies).
Make sure to dismount before turning in the quests, as otherwise you will
not get credit for the achievement's objectives.

Is the Wii U more powerful than previously thought?
The Wii U has been available for a little over a full year now and despite that, there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding just how powerful the console really is. According to some new pieces of information uncovered, the Wii U could be more powerful than previously thought just from examining the internals of the system. For starters, the Wii U was developed under a shroud of secrecy, which led the internet to run rampant with rumors about its capabilities well before any dev kits or retail machines made it into the hands of consumers.
New information that’s been pointed out include the fact that Renesas Electronics, later merged with NEC, is responsible for the Wii U semiconductor just as they were responsible for the Xbox 360 semiconductor. New semiconductor tech produced in 2012 is logically going to be better than that produced in 2004, when the Xbox 360 was still in development.
According to some sleuthing by the folks over at , the Wii U’s eDRAM should be capable of much more output than that of the Xbox 360. When taking into consideration the new information and the Wii U’s total bandwidth of gigabytes per second, the Wii U should clock in at around 563.2GB per second. For comparison, the Xbox One runs at about 170GB per second of bandwidth between DDR3 and eSRAM.
This explanation could show why the Wii U is capable of hitting 1080/60fps on titles with developers who are comfortable working with the hardware, while others struggle and make excuses as to why 1080p gaming isn’t possible on Nintendo’s latest console. Of course, there’s plenty of speculation about specs and the semiconductor technology behind the Wii U, so check out the full piece to see the conclusion. The fact is, the Wii U isn’t nearly as much of a flop hardware-wise as certain third party developers are attempting to paint.
Thanks, Stephen!
