Upon starting this quest your normal action bar should dissapear and you'll gain the "vehicle" bar; you'll have a left arrow and a right arrow, essentialy you will use these to try and keep your 0 -100 bar as close to 50 as possible; if you do reach 0 or 100 you will fail

I'm not sure which add-on keeps the balance bar from displaying since I have quite a few running, mostly pretty popular ones though. In order to see the balance bar I had to disable all my add-ons. I was so confused at first as to WTF was going on.

Comment by Vlad

If you have issues with some addon, you can use this code (when the vehicle bar is visible) and it will tell you to push the left or right buttons, indicating this by "<" and ">" arrows in the chat, it's pretty easy and you don't have to relog and disable/enable your addons, hurray!
/run if not FYC then FYC=CreateFrame"Frame"end local i,p,m=0,"player"FYC:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(s,e)i=i+e if i>1 then i=0 m=UnitPowerMax(p,10)if m>0 then print(UnitPower(p,10)/m<.5 and">"or"<")else s:SetScript("OnUpdate",nil)end end end)
It will automatically disable the messages when the power used by the quest is no longer present, you have to paste the script again if you have to do it again (or paste it too early).

If you're using Pitbull the bar will appear in your character unit frame as a gray bar, instead of appearing as a bar with a center marker it will be a regular resource bar that you want to keep half-full.

Comment by jd234

Some addons are bugging this. Basically, it puts you into a vehicle that has only two spells. So, if you can't see the vehicle action buttons; 1=left, 2=right. Just spam 1 or 2 to move the little thing towards the center. Easy peasy.

Comment by Jollygood

If at all possible, have a lan party with a friend and take turns doing the quest. The animations are very funny. As the panda tries to distract you, he smacks your cartoon on the head with a skillet, punches a gong and so on. I missed it first go around because I was trying to keep the bar centered. When I went to visit a friend, I got to watch the whole thing and it was a hoot.

If you can't do that, you can relax, not worry about getting it the first time and enjoy the silly fun.

Comment by 1037501

The quest is not very clear about how to turn it in. After completing your meditation, you enter a dream sequence where you see Prince Anduin flee up a hill. If you check your map, you will see instructions to turn in the quest to Prince Anduin at the Cave of Sorrows. Do NOT go into the cave. The path the Prince took is about 10 feet to the left of the cave entrance. Follow that path up and behind the cave, turn in your quest and pick up three more quests that require you to go into the cave.

Comment by Cubedout

Actually going to kill this Panda if he says "remain in the centre" one more time.

Comment by foxonstilts

If you're using LUI, you'll have to disable all of your addons for the meditation bar to appear. At least, that's the only way that I found would help!

Comment by Mormolyce

Ow!

Wait... was that... did you just hit me with a FRYING PAN!

Comment by 1066372

I had to disable ALL of my addons to get this to work. Once I was back to bare Blizz UI, it was an easy enough quest to get through.

Do not try using your arrow keys. Your 1 key is to move your marker left and your 2 key moves your marker right. Be careful not to be too heavy-handed with it or you'll over comp when he hits you. It helped me to completely ignore his monologue and focus solely on keeping the marker as close to the middle as possible.

Once done with the quest, watch the little cinematic, then go turn your addons back on. Done deal.

Comment by Willemsii

Is this quest bugged? When I accept it in patch 5.3 I see the panda talk, and gives me a large hit. I don't see any bars to keep you in center of it. In 5 seconds the quest is marked as failed and I can choose to do it again.

It doesn't work, even I have done /reload ui. Anyone else has this problem?

Comment by ingen2

"I am sorry, that did not alarm you, did it?"

I CAN'T DO THAT YET. THAT SPELL IS RECHARGING. I CAN'T DO THAT YET.

Comment by gameplayer13905

VEHILCE BAR! I did this quest three or four times before I saw the large gold arrows at the bottom of my screen. It was easy once I started using them.

Comment by 1205084

Anduin Wrynn is clearly a Discipline priest.

Comment by conformity

Once you find your center, you are sure to win.

Comment by DisRuptive1

If you're using MoveAnything, make sure the "Alternative Power Bar" found under "Unit: Player" is visible and not hidden behind anything such as the vehicle UI.

Comment by eilensar

Had rough time with this too. Using Dominos for bars and its is labeled Encounter Bar or something. It was hidden under my bottom panel for Sun Viewport Art. After relocating bar, it was good to go.

Comment by Peacebringer735

I disabled my addons, I tried the code..and still nothing but black screen with vehicle arrows and chat box...This quest is making it very difficult for ME to keep centered!

Comment by mamapapaxp

For reference, ElvUI (and probably its sister, TukUI) also makes a pig's ear of this quest. The vehicle action bar and it's left/right buttons are visible but completely unresponsive.

Simply disable this one add-on, (at least it was just this one out of my 50+ installed add-ons, the first and most obvious one to try as it has the largest overall effect on the the entire UI...) reload and you should be able to complete it with ease...

Also note that while the individual '<' and '>' buttons have a cooldown, they are not shared so - for most of the exercise, at least - you can keep the marker centered by pressing right one second after the marker passes the centre leftwards and almost immediately pressing left when it passes centre in the other direction. This allows each key to complete their cooldown without being urgently needed.

Comment by Polared

If you're having disconnection issues with this quest, leave your current party

Encountered a problem with this quest. The moment I drank the brew, I would be disconnected. Happened to my partner as well. After several rounds of troubleshooting, we quit our current party and tried the quest again. It worked.

Comment by xenolithix

No matter how many alts I level through the Jade Forest, I always get a laugh out of Cho walloping you with a frying pan, and then pulling a gong out of nowhere.

Comment by Ehayen

Ah, yes, feel yourself struggling against Blizzard's random number generator, Pandaren.

Comment by MelchiorGaspar

This is still happening in 2023,
I have disabled all my addons but its still dropping the meditation HUD...
so I cannot proceed any further... :(

Comment by MadMonkZero

I have no addons as I just came back to the game after 5 years away so had to redownload everything.
I drink the liquid, it fades to "start" and then auto fails.
I never ever even see the bar or anything else, it just blinks and I am told I have failed.
I can't complete the achievement because of this quest! It's infuriating!
Is there any help for this at all?
I submitted a ticket but of course they never get back to you.
What can ya do and who do I have to call to get this corrected?

Comment by Gobbogossip

If you are having UI issues, you will need to ensure you have the VEHICLE BAR and ENCOUNTER BAR enabled (these are 2 separate bars).

I had my ENCOUNTER bar layered behind the VEHICLE bar and couldn't see it. You can reposition these bars (even if using an addon like Bartender) using default UI Edit mode.

Comment by woofpuppy

Literally got arm cramps from this hiney-wipe quest.

Comment by Perdia

If you are getting a black screen and unable to complete this, try disabling UI addons like Bartender, Move Any, etc.
This worked for me with no problems.

Comment by Lunae

I was trying to figure out what the "spark" was that Cho was talking about, it's just how full the "Meditate" bar is!
As others said, this is what Elvui calls the Alternative Power bar. Use the vehicle bar buttons (left/right) to keep the bar as closed to 50/100.

Comment by Arheia

I had to disable addons for this. The 'balancing' meter just was not showing up; all I had was random arrows and no indicator. I hope this helps someone else.

Comment by Tikitak

Disable addons, reload UI, Go to Edit Mode, select classic preset, done.

Comment by Shashos

Re-mix has reminded me how awful this quest can be. It takes so long that I get cramps in my wrist.
