At one point, this was the Mogu raid of MOP. But now it's downsized into a dungeon, and the raid is now called Mogu'shan Vaults.

Comment by Xarthat

Currently, there is a fourth, unmentioned boss in Mogu'Shan Palace. It will cause people to drop group even more than the completely brutal fight with Xin the Weaponmaster. That boss is the elevator boss.

So the elevator stands still for a split second, giving you only moments to jump in, and jumping off at the top have to be time perfectly as well, or you plummet to your (near) death. Smarter people will prefer finding their way around the palace instead of wasting time on perfectly timing jumps.

And once you beat the elevator boss, you're welcome to fight the guy who will cover the room so completely with AoE that if your tank and melee DPS didn't drop the group yet, they will now.

What are those quilins I can find? There is supposedly 5 of them.

A great XP exploit here

In the underground vault after the 1st boss fight they're is bats flying horizontally across the roof of the vault, they're an unlimited spawn, allowing for massive xp gains, don't know when or if Blizz will remove it, but it's being heavily farmed right now.

There are 2 wings on the sides of the weaponmaster Xin, using the orbs destroys the quillen statues, but no idea what else they do. Anyone knows?

You cannot enter this dungeon before 87- even if you walk to the entrance

Does anyone know what's up with the glintrok scout that steals some treasure after the trail of kings? Is he there for a reason?

This instance does have a chance to spawn a rare, Glintrok Pillager, in Gekkan's room. He definitely appears in Heroic, not sure about the Normal version of the instance.

He drops a huge pile of gold which, when looted, gives 100+ gold to each party member. The animation is similar to (but much bigger than) the Scarlet Treasurer gold piles, but this one splits the gold between all party members, rather than all going to the person who loots it.

Other notes: Glintrok Pillager doesn't pull with the boss. If you can, avoid pulling him during the boss fight so you don't have to fight both at once. However, if he does get pulled, everyone needs to switch to him at once and burn him down quickly, or he'll run away and you'll miss your chance. He does not attack or use any abilities, but merely runs for the exit, where he will despawn. Appears to be succeptable to slows, not sure about stuns.

If you want to track whether he's up in your runs, he can be added to NPCscan, ID# 61246. He's not currently in their database.

Other MoP rare instance mobs that I'm aware of: Doctor Theolen Krastinov in Scholomance

Comment by DanJack

The hardest part to this instance is the lift right before the last boss. >.>

What is with the flying saucer. Saw it flying down in the catacombs after first boss where the bats are.

Comment by UberRob

Tank tactics: Pull the last boss way away from his throne and into the room or you'll get shouted at by dps.

Comment by Mendric

It's stated that you need to do a quest prior to getting access to this instance. That is only to be able to get there on your own though and may mislead people. You can summon people. I just summoned a freshly turned 87 and he got in just fine.

Inside the dungeon, there are 5 little green quilens to be collected. I don't know if they spawn randomly or their position is fixed. One was particularly tricky to be collected, it was on a niche in the passage, had to jump on a blue brazier and jump again towards the niche, during the short jump you had to right-click the little quilen... side note: hunter's spell Fetch doesn't work. If you get all the five little quilens, you get the achievement Quarrelsome Quilen Quintet, no special / extra buffs etc... just the achiev-

Comment by Fuzzywiggles

Anyone bringing an alt through Pandaria and looking for a fast place to level, make some friends (if dps find a tank and healer... If tank or healer just specific queue for this instance) and chain it as long as you can stomach it. It is a very short instance compared to the others and the trash seems to die way faster. Just an idea for anyone bored of travelling through the Pandaria quests as they are pretty terrible and after you have done them once you probably won't ever want to do them again... unless you are into that sort of thing.

My wife and I chain this as one of us is usually tank or healer and blast through 87-90 much faster than we could questing.

Comment by ShawnFriz

After I finish Trial of Kings, I don't see anything move. I know about the the underground vault and I notice the stairs are to the left of the entrance by looking at the map. But the stairs are not visable to me. Do the stones next to the scout move? How do I get to the vault?

Comment by 1967884

Those how soloing Mogu'shan Palace instance; if you kill the last boss, Xin the Weaponmaster, too fast, then the door behind you remains closed, even the boss has been defeated. It's better to set your Hearthstone at (A) Shrine Seven Stars / (H) Shrine of Two Moons, and get two of your characters there which can collect the items you're looking for.

Comment by detro99

Hello,

I've decided to role for healer, I've never done this before. Resto druid

Now with chromie time I choosed MoP, the other dungeons I don't have big issues but with this one I can't keep up the tank, seems like scaling problems, I keep up lifebloom and cenarion ward and rejuv but I must constantly spam regrowth and swiftmend and I still can't keep up the tank (in boss fights)

Annyone with this problem?

Greetings Giovanni

Mogu'shan Palace is a really good place to ''farm'' some Mote of Harmony

Comment by Incrediblz

Whoever Tanks this boss at the Door just go back to DPS. The left or Right Pillar was the only spot you had to tank him at back in the day.Even now that is the safest spot and less time consuming.I tanked this all of Mist's of Pandaria this way and still do to this day.And with Timewalking People find it difficult to tank him the adds in tat whole room at once and I have done it along with plenty of tanks recently and keeping him Near a pillar or where he comes down from the throne is fine he just melts.

For normal/heroic queue'd people who will try the door technique Try once and let me know how bad it went for you.

Comment by Flashwitt

Dropped by The Seat of Knowledge atop Mogu'shan just now... and it's covered in weird writing. Void stuff is not active currently, so I'm not sure what that's about. I don't recall ever seeing this before, and it's very conspicuous, but I can't find references to it or pictures of it anywhere.

Encounters

Trial of the King – Ming the Cunning, Kuai the Brute, and Haiyan the Unstoppable have journeyed to the palace with their clans, vying to prove their worth to their king. Yet these mogu factions are plagued with bitter rivalries. Violence threatens to flood the palatial grounds unless the bickering clans can find a way to test their strength without coming to blows with one another.
Gekkan – As the mogu clans battle for supremacy, the cunning Gekkan leads his fearsome saurok raiding party into the palace's fabled treasure caches. Loyalty is not usually ascribed to these ruthless reptilian beings, but Gekkan's courage and tactical brilliance inspire a sense of honor in his soldiers.
Xin the Weaponmaster – The title of weaponmaster has many definitions among Azeroth's inhabitants. To Xin, it means that mogu weaponry obeys his every command. The king is more than willing to demonstrate his deadly skills to anyone who questions his right to rule Pandaria.
