[Reputation Guide] The Shado-Pan

[AlesianDuke]

The Shado-Pan order was founded by Emperor Shaohao 10,000 years ago under a charter, just before the Sundering occured. He knew that the dark energy of the sha - the physical embodiment of negative emotions like anger, fear, hatred or doubt - represented a great threat to the Pandaren if allowed to fester beneath the land. He tasked the greatest warriors of Pandaria with the sacred duty to restrain and control the sha, and to defeat it wherever it darkens the hearts of their people. And so it was that mere hours after Emperor Shaohao bested his own anger, hatred, and violence, the first of the Shado-Pan took their knee and spoke an oath to the Last Emperor. The same words have been spoken to the Lord of the Shado-Pan by every Shado-Pan initiate who has passed the Trial of the Red Blossoms ever since

Reputation with "The Shado-Pan" can be earned by doing quests through Kun-Lai Summit and the majority of Townlong Steppes, but if you want to get right down to business with them, I would suggest you first start by completing the following "challenges" at the Shado-Pan Garrison:
The Challenger's Ring: Chao the Voice - challenge and defeat Chao the Voice
The Challenger's Ring: Hawkmaster Nurong - challenge and defeat Hawkmaster Nurong
The Challenger's Ring: Lao-Chin the Iron Belly - challenge and defeat Lao-Chin the Iron Belly
The Challenger's Ring: Snow Blossom - challenge and defeat Snow Blossom
The Challenger's Ring: Tenwu of the Red Smoke - challenge and defeat Tenwu of the Red Smoke
The Challenger's Ring: Yalia Sagewhisper - challenge and defeat Yalia Sagewhisper
There is another non-daily quest, which is Through the Portal, from Moshu the Arcane at a forward base found on Shan'ze Dao island (best combined with dailies regarding that area).

Now let's get down to the dailies... I shall explain all of them, on groups:

You can do one of the following quests, per day, of your choosing (best to mix up with other dailies at the same location):

1. Cheng Bo! - defeat Cheng Bo
2. Uruk! - defeat Uruk
3. Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Swarmlord - defeat Sra'thik Swarmlord
4. Target of Opportunity: Sra'thik Hivelord - defeat Sra'thik Hivelord

Any of the following quests will be available daily for you to complete:

1. Assault Deadtalker's Plateau - defeat x8 Deadtalker Corpsedefiler and x1 Deadtalker Crusher
2. Spirit Dust - defeat and loot Defiled Spirit for Ancient Spirit Dust, and once you've gathered 4 of them find and interact with Defiled Yaungol Remains
3. The Deadtalker Cipher - loot the Ciphered Scroll from any of the NPCs at the Deadtalker's Plateau area
4. Assault Fire Camp Gai-Cho - defeat x16 Gai-Cho Pitchthrowers -and/or- Gai-Cho Earthtalkers -and/or- Gai-Cho Yaungol
5. The Enemy of My Enemy... Is Still My Enemy! - find and loot Highly Explosive Yaungol Oil Barrel, to use the items to defeat x100 NPCs (Yaungol and/or Mantid) at the Gai-Cho Battlefield area (note: best used from flying mounts, to avoid damage from them)
6. Sra'vess Wetwork - defeat x12 of the following Mantid NPCs located on the island of Sra'vess: Sra'thik Drone, Sra'thik Cacophyte, Sra'thik Swiftwing, Sra'thik Mutilator, Sra'thik Regenerator
7. The Bigger They Come... - defeat x4 of the following Elite Mantid NPCs: Sra'thik Will-Breaker, Sra'thik Vessguard, Sra'thik Swarm-Leader, Sra'thik Deathmixer
8. Two of the following dailies for Sra'vess:

• Fumigation - use the quest item to plant Shado-Pan Gas Bombs at the following locations: Fumigation - Amber Vault, Fumigation - Nutriment Cell, Fumigation - Egg Chamber, Fumigation - Torture Cell and Fumigation - Slaughtering Pit (note: the locations are also marked by this; also, this quest is "afflicted" by the vizual bug, so objectives may scramble sometimes, in which case just visit each location and use the quest item for "objective complete" message, and ignore the "incomplete status on the map/log/screen")
  
• Destroy the Siege Weapons! - destroy the Large Southern Sra'thik Siege Weapon, Small Southern Sra'thik Siege Weapon, Large Northern Sra'thik Siege Weapon and the Small Northern Sra'thik Siege Weapon
  
• Friends, Not Food! - rescue the Shado-Pan members down at the Feeding Pits area: Shado-Pan Trainee / Shado-Pan Trainee / Shado-Pan Trainee
9. Five of the following sets of quests can be done daily on the island of Shan'ze Dao (of your own choosing):

The Mogu Menace - defeat x12 Shan'ze Serpentbinders -and/or- Shan'ze Beastmasters (alt)

Onyx Hearts - loot x4 Onyx Hearts from Onyx Stormclaws
Born Free - free x8 Wild Cloudrunners
Riding the Storm - use your quest item on x8 Shan'ze Cloudrunners and defeat them while riding them (note: it is a bit faulty, so my suggestion is to use the quest item on those above ground and use it as close to them as possible, while NOT being mounted)
- OR -

Illusions Of The Past - defeat x3 Shan'ze Illusionist

Reaching Exalted with The Shado-Pan will unlock the following quests, which in the end will reward you with the Reins of the Onyx Cloud Serpent:

Mogu Incursions - find and defeat the Shan'ze Spymaster
Surprise Attack! - the Shado-Pan members have assembled, ready to take on the mastermind behind it all, Shan Bu and his minion Hei Feng; after taking the quest, speak to Ban Bearheart, follow the group and help Niuzao and the rest of the Shado-Pan to defend the temple grounds, by taking on Shan'ze Brutalizers and the dreadful Hei Feng (tip: try to heal yourself or ease up on the damage while fighting Hei Feng, to leave it more on the Shado-Pan NPCs that help, but do not let them die... if push comes to pass, take initiative and stun / taunt Hei Feng, take him on and finish him to complete the event).

This concludes the guide for the Shado-Pan daily quests. Good luck in your fight for Pandaria!
