Jade Temple Elemental Farming

[Lyonheart]

I still have not found this quest. I went back and just started doing all the quests in the zone with my 90 pal..i was hoping you could get it early and skip a lot of the quests. At what point in the zone progression do you get this, or the starting quest? Middle, end?

Correct me if I am wrong but from what I recall this is part of a quest line and I presume the original poster is simply not handing in the quest when completed?

It's maybe a third or half way through Jade Forest. You're going to do all the starter quests obviously, then all the stuff with the Hozen, including the stupid scenarios that are difficult to box, the dude in the cave that makes you follow him to a bunch of shrines, the area where you kill alliance intruders, bomb the fish looking dudes in front of town, collect logs off the ground, etc. Shortly after that area you'll get a quest to jade temple and it begins.

Feel free to do all the quests there - set off fireworks, collect the little dragons, kill the bookworms, etc. Go to the water elemental guy, loot the staff, even turn the quest into him and it won't end it. It only ends when you turn in the final quest (from the water guy) to the panda at the quest hub in the temple. I dropped that quest so I wouldn't turn it in accidentally.

Also, and this cost me an hour, once you leave, since it's actually an phase on top of what is normally a regular area with an instance, you have to talk to a female panda just up the stairs and she will teleport you into the phased version. That's how you get back in at any time. Once you're in, turn left to the hallway with water, and there are the elementals.

I really, really wish I knew about this on m shaman; they've been 90 for weeks but I cannot get back in... those guys could tear up the place, perhaps the mobs would spawn even faster.

Also, the water elementals drop every JC meta pattern, after only an hour or two thre you will have the pattern to cut every single meta, even the weird ones. I ended up with at least 16 different patterns, and enough to pass to my alts in case they go JC as well. If you happen to be missing some JC meta patterns, grind there for an hour and you'll have them all.
