Getting Friendly With Shado-Pan Assault

The Shado-Pan Assault is a faction in World of Warcraft that was added to Mists of Pandaria in Patch 5.2. They are an extension of the Shado-Pan found on the Isle of Thunder. To get Shado-Pan Assault-friendly, players can complete a limited number of quests, enter the Throne of Thunder raid, or turn in Shado-Pan Assault Insignia's. The Insignia's can be found in daily reward caches like the Arcane Trove or the Sunreaver Bounty. Alternatively, players can kill trash mobs and bosses in the Throne of Thunder raid, with each awarding different amounts of reputation.

Complete quests in the zone

To get started with the Shado-Pan Assault faction, you'll need to complete quests in the zone. This is one of only three ways to earn reputation with the Shado-Pan Assault, an extension of the Shado-Pan found on the Isle of Thunder.

The faction has a handful of quests that can be completed as you learn about them, and if you complete at least one of them, you can get to friendly status without killing any raid bosses. These quests are a great way to get started with the Shado-Pan Assault and can be completed as you explore the zone and familiarise yourself with their objectives and challenges.

The quests will give you a taste of what the Shado-Pan Assault is all about, and you'll be able to decide if you want to continue earning reputation with them. The Shado-Pan Assault is a unique faction with its own set of rewards and challenges, so it's worth exploring what they have to offer.

Completing the quests will also allow you to build a basic reputation with the faction, which can be further enhanced through other means. It's important to note that the Shado-Pan Assault is a separate entity from the Shado-Pan, so your reputation with the former won't carry over to the latter. However, your efforts in completing these quests will not be in vain, as they will provide a solid foundation for further engagement with the Shado-Pan Assault.

So, if you're looking to get friendly with the Shado-Pan Assault, completing the quests in the zone is a great starting point. You'll learn about their goals, test your skills, and establish a basic reputation, all while discovering the unique opportunities and rewards that this faction has to offer.

Kill trash and bosses in the Throne of Thunder raid

The Throne of Thunder raid is an integral part of the Shado-Pan Assault reputation system in World of Warcraft. It is one of the three ways to earn reputation with this faction, the other two being quests and turning in Shado-Pan Assault Insignia's.

The Throne of Thunder raid offers a substantial amount of reputation points for killing both trash mobs and bosses. Trash mobs will grant you 30 reputation points each, and they will continue to grant reputation until you are one point shy of reaching friendly status with the Shado-Pan Assault. Bosses, on the other hand, offer a more substantial 300 reputation points per kill. Importantly, boss kills will grant reputation all the way to exalted status, and they can be done once per week, regardless of the difficulty level. This weekly restriction means that you will need to pace yourself accordingly if you are aiming for exalted status.

The Throne of Thunder raid is located in the north-western part of the Isle of the Thunder King and can be accessed through a portal near the Shado-Pan Garrison in Townlong Steppes. This raid features 12 boss encounters, with an additional 13th boss called Ra-den, who can be accessed after defeating Lei Shen on Heroic difficulty.

The bosses in the Throne of Thunder raid are as follows:

• Jin'rokh the Breaker
• Horridon and his master, War-God Jalak
• Council of Elders
• Tortos
• Megaera
• Ji-Kun
• Durumu the Forgotten
• Primordius
• Dark Animus
• Iron Qon
• Twin Consorts, Lu'lin and Suen
• Emperor Lei Shen

Each of these bosses presents unique challenges and mechanics that your raid group must overcome. For example, Jin'rokh the Breaker involves proper positioning and movement to avoid his attacks, while the Council of Elders pits you against four Troll bosses simultaneously, each with their own set of abilities.

In addition to the bosses, you will also encounter various trash mobs throughout the raid. These include:

• Zandalari Blade Initiate
• Zandalari Spear-Shaper
• Zandalari Storm-Caller
• Zandalari Water-Binder
• Water Bound Water Elemental
• Spirit of Pain
• Wail of the Tormented
• Stormbringer Draz'kil
• Sul'lithuz Stonegazer
• Gurubashi Venom Priest
• Risen Drakkari Warrior
• Risen Drakkari Champion
• Drakkari Frozen Warlord
• Amani'shi Protector
• Amani'shi Flame Caster
• Amani'shi Beast Shaman
• Zandalari Dinomancer
• Direhorn Spirit (Heroic)

By killing both the trash mobs and the bosses in the Throne of Thunder raid, you will be well on your way to earning reputation with the Shado-Pan Assault faction in World of Warcraft.

Collect and turn in Shado-Pan Assault Insignia's

The Shado-Pan Assault Insignia is the last of three ways to earn reputation with the Shado-Pan Assault faction. The Insignia grants 100 reputation each and can be found in the daily reward caches at the end of all the dailies. These are the Arcane Trove (Alliance Dailies) or the Sunreaver Bounty (Horde Dailies). They can also be found in the gold chests at the end of the Treasure Trove solo scenario.

The Insignia can be collected by completing the daily quests on Thunder Isle. The drop rate for the Insignia is higher for the Horde faction than for the Alliance. On about 2,000 registered loots, the horde trove drops it about 30% of the time, whereas the alliance side only drops it 0.3% of the time. This disparity is known by the developers and will be hotfixed.

The Shado-Pan Assault is a faction that was added to Mists of Pandaria as of Patch 5.2. They are an extension of the Shado-Pan that can be found on the Isle of Thunder. Since they are a subsection of the Shado-Pan, players will need to earn reputation with them separately.

There are a few quests that can be completed as players learn about the Shado-Pan Assault, and if at least one of them is saved, players can get to friendly status without killing any raid bosses. The other way to earn reputation is by killing enemies in the Throne of Thunder Raid. Trash mobs will grant reputation until players reach 1 point shy of friendly status, and boss kills will grant reputation all the way to exalted. However, boss kills will only grant reputation once per week, regardless of the difficulty level.

Gain reputation with the Shado-Pan first

To gain reputation with the Shado-Pan, you must first reach level 90. Once you've reached this level, you can increase your reputation by completing daily quests at the Shado-Pan Garrison in Townlong Steppes. Here, you will be tasked with attacking nearby Yaungol, Mantid, and Mogu outposts.

Every day, you will have the option to choose from a set of daily quests, which will send you to one of three questing locations. Before completing a final quest, you will be required to complete four warm-up quests. During the final quest, you will need to defeat an elite mob.

You will also have the opportunity to select a Shado-Pan NPC to accompany you during your quests, providing assistance in fighting your foes. Occasionally, you will encounter a challenge quest, where you will need to defeat a Shado-Pan champion. If you succeed, you will unlock the help of this NPC for your future daily quests.

Each of the daily quests will earn you 250 reputation, allowing you to accumulate 1,250 reputation per day. Completing a challenge quest will grant you an additional 350 reputation. Additionally, you can earn 400 reputation by performing the Shado Pan Work Order at your farm.

It is worth noting that by simply completing all the Shado-Pan quests in Townlong Steppes, you can easily attain almost Honored reputation.

Visit a Shado-Pan quartermaster to determine reputation status

To determine your reputation status with the Shado-Pan Assault, you can visit one of their quartermasters. There are two quartermasters for the Shado-Pan Assault: Teng of the Flying Daggers and Ao Pye.

Teng of the Flying Daggers can be found on the Isle of Thunder in the cave where you meet the Shado-Pan Assault. Ao Pye can be found at the Niuzao Temple in the Townlong Steppes, with the other valor and justice quartermasters on the back terrace of the temple.

By visiting one of these quartermasters, you can learn about your current reputation status with the Shado-Pan Assault and work towards improving it.
