Shado-Pan Reputation Guide: Quartermaster Location and Rewards – MoP Classic
The Shado-Pan are a disciplined order based in Townlong Steppes, dedicated to protecting Pandaria from the dark influence of the Sha. In Mists of Pandaria Classic, this reputation is primarily pursued for cosmetic rewards, powerful enchanting formulas, and the prestigious “Shado-Master” title.
Overview of the Shado-Pan in MoP Classic
The Shado-Pan are one of the key reputations introduced early in the expansion. You’ll begin progressing with them around level 87 through the introductory quest “The Defense of Shado-Pan Fallback” in Kun-Lai Summit, which continues into Townlong Steppes at level 88.
Reaching Exalted with the Shado-Pan unlocks access to all their vendor items and the quest “Mogu Incursions”, which rewards the Reins of the Onyx Cloud Serpent after a short questline.
Shado-Pan Hub Location
The Shado-Pan Garrison in Townlong Steppes serves as your main hub. Here, you can:
- Access Daily Quests
- Visit the Reputation Quartermaster
- Pick up key storyline quests
- Tip: You can zoom in on the Townlong Steppes map to locate the Shado-Pan Garrison.
Earning Reputation with the Shado-Pan
Reputation with the Shado-Pan can be earned as you level through Kun-Lai Summit and Townlong Steppes.
Starting at level 87, the initial quests begin in Kun-Lai, with the bulk of the storyline unlocking at level 88 in Townlong Steppes.
Completing the entire questline will bring you to Honored, assuming no additional reputation bonuses are active.
