Hello everyone!
After finishing up the Legion Fall Campaign, heroes of Azeroth are rewarded with a unique
class mount.
For the monk it’s Yiska who informs us that Master Bu has returned from a long spirit
journey and has asked to speak with us so we meet up with him at Morning Breeze Village
outside of the Temple of Five Dawns for a little chat.
Bu thinks that we young ones have no patience these days, always running off to fight our
great battles.
No time for stories even the good ones, nope no time for stories here Master Bu but go
ahead, tell us a tale while we buy you a drink.
“Xuen, the White Tiger, one of the August Celestials, had a son named Ban-Lu.”
“Over the centuries, Ban-Lu served as the personal mount of each grandmaster.
It was a duty he was honored to fulfil!’
Walks towards the fire “But Ban-Lu has not been seen since the
Legion’s attack on the Peak of Serenity.
It seems the loss of life...affected him deeply.”
“Perhaps if we return there, we may find clues to his whereabouts.”
Walks to the bar.
I still wonder how exactly wild gods have children, but our quest to find Ban-Lu begins
where we suffered a great loss during the monk order hall campaign, the peak of serenity.
“Grandmaster!
Over here.”
Now this area is supposed to be phased out to show the aftermath of the Legion attack
here so imagine a lot of green, destruction and the remnants of a portal.
“Look for any sign of where Ban-Lu might be.”
Ban-Lu has served every Grandmaster, but he and Hight were the greatest of friends.
For many years they traveled the land, connecting with its people and maintaining their fragile
peace.
The death of his long time friend must have affected him deeply as we follow the paw prints
and Master Bu follows our trail ever so slowly, which reminded me a lot of escorting emperor
shao-hao up the mountain during mists of pandaria.
“What have you found?
Let me see...A trail of paw prints!
Hmm, where might they lead...”
“Wait for me, please!
These old bones aren’t what they used to be.”
“Where did you go?
Oh, wait there.
Thank you for showing patience to an old man.”
“Could you slow down a moment?
I do apologize for my languid pace.”
Those old bones of his suddenly found some speed while sliding down the mountain, but
the master will need to rest a bit so while he does that, we help out the grummle Smelly
Mountaintop who has a bit of a fiery situation going on.
The stupid hozen stole his luckydo and now he’s always unlucky.
Just turned around and look, now his pack is on fire and he can’t put it out because
then something ELSE unlucky will happen.
We have no choice but to beat up the hozen up a bit, bring back his luckydo only to find
out that Smelly has decided to make this burning pack his new luckydo since nothing ELSE bad
has happened while the pack is on fire.
We get to keep his old one which adds 5 luck to our stats, we all know we can use a bit
of luck with all the RNG and the grummly tells us that he saw the big glowy tiger go towards
the monastery.
“Shall we continue the search for Ban-Lu, Grandmaster?”
The shado-pan here are willing to give us information if we can assist them with cleaning
up the last remnants of the sha in the area.
The grove of falling blossoms has a couple of teeny tiny remants of the sha of anger
and some bigger manifestations, but nothing as powerful as we saw during mists of pandaria.
The leftover sha residue clings to our feet and the anger builds up inside until it comes
out in an expulsion of anger.
* roaaaaaaaaaar muhahahahahhaha*
With the area cleansed Commander Shen-Li tells us that Ban-Lu is no longer here but he did
see him go south.
“Grandmaster, I have an idea...”
The Jinyu can speak with the waters and perhaps find out where Ban- Lu has been seen recently.
We meet up with Waterspeaker Ryuli at Inkgil Mere who’s quite honored to be visited by
a grandmaster and is more than happy to help us out.
He will need Moon Lilies, flowers that only bloom in the presence of someone pure of heart
so we collect a few of them and have him do the thing.
The ripples feel strong, the droplet does not fall far from our location.
Ban-Lu is actually quite close.
Ryuli closes his eyes and releases the lilies into the water.
They drift slowly to the east.
He is waiting for us now, at Lake Kittititata.
Master Bu: “Grandmaster, have you found Ban-Lu?”
SURPRISE!
“Filled with sorrow by the death of Grandmaster Hight, I wandered Pandaria to reflect.”
“But in the midst of that reflection, I saw something new and interesting appear...you!”
“You have shown patience with Master Bu, honor with the grummles, duty with the Shado-
Pan, and faith with the jinyu.”
“It is clear you embody the wisdom, integrity, and tenacity of a grandmaster.
Only one test remains...Prove to me that you can fight like a grandmaster!”
Surprise, Master Bu was Ban-Lu all along and our final challenge is to prove that we can
fight which is oddly not phased out considering they’re trying to tell the story that only
you are the worthy grandmaster to earn this mount.
Ahwell, together with every monk in the area we unleash our might and prove our worth.
“Your skills are impressive indeed, Grandmaster!
I would be honored to serve you, as I served the great leaders of our order who came before.”
“Let us return to the Wandering Isle...together!”
Cinematic: All hail the grandmaster, finder of Ban-Lu!
Ow my it looks so freaking pretty and that pandaria music, so good.
Check me out guys, everyone bows down and pays respect.
ROAR, grats me for a new mount.
And that is how monks obtain their unique class mount, now I don’t believe this one
comes with any color variations, but you can buy Ban-Fu, Cub of Ban-Lu, the youngest member
of the Xuen Dynasty!
Daughter of Ban-Lu, Niece of Xu-Fu.
Granddaughter of the Celestial Xuen.
Mei Chele sells her for a thousand order resources, but you will need to fill up one of your artifacts
to unlock it so you need the achievement Power Ascended.
For me, this is the best looking mount out of all of them, I just love what they’ve
done with the model.
The paws glow while you’re flying in the air, and....it even talks.
“Good to see you again grandmaster.
Oh you might want to cut back on the mana buns grand master.
Ahhh a refreshing swim.
Remind me of the time I swam all the way to Kazan.
Grandmaster Roku wasn’t happy about how shriveled his paws got.
The wise monk chooses his own style rather then popular opinion dictate it.”
Best of all this questline did not involve brewing drinks for a change so all in all,
I really liked it.
And with that ladies and gentleman we’ve reached the end of the video so as always
thank you very much for watching everyone!
