How to get it

Reward of the achievement Glory of the Pandaria Raider: 29 achievements in the three raids Mists of Pandaria opened with. Fourteen are feats on a boss, on Normal or Heroic difficulty: four in Mogu'shan Vaults, six in Heart of Fear and four in Terrace of Endless Spring. The other fifteen are the Heroic kills of every boss in the three raids except the Sha of Fear. One feat, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better... on Feng the Accursed, takes two players, and another, Power Overwhelming, takes three kills of the Protectors of the Endless in three different weeks. Progress counts for the whole account.

Time there about 45 min a visit

Before you go

A second player for Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better... (Feng the Accursed, Mogu'shan Vaults): the character in a tank specialization takes the Shroud of Reversal from the dark crystal by the arena's entrance and has to cast it on the second player, not on itself; when one of Feng's abilities then hits that player, the tank's button becomes that ability and is cast back at Feng. Five have to be copied before he dies: Epicenter, Lightning Fists, Wildfire Spark, Arcane Velocity and Arcane Resonance · about 0.5 h
A canine companion pet out beside every member of the raid for Must Love Dogs (The Stone Guard)
Power Overwhelming: the Protectors of the Endless (Terrace of Endless Spring) killed three times, with Protector Kaolan, Elder Asani and Elder Regail each once the last one alive. The raid can be killed once a week, so the third kill comes two weekly resets after the first · about 0.75 h over 2 weeks
The three raids cleared on Heroic difficulty with the feats done on the way: Mogu'shan Vaults (six Heroic kills and four feats), Heart of Fear (six and six) and Terrace of Endless Spring (three Heroic kills, four feats). A raid's difficulty is fixed for the week by its first boss kill · about 3 h

In all: about 4.3 h of play, spread over 2 weeks, starting from nothing.

Getting there

Mogu'shan Vaults entrance, Kun-Lai Summit (ten of the 29, the two-player feat among them; Heart of Fear is in the Dread Wastes at 38.7, 35.1 and Terrace of Endless Spring on the Veiled Stair at 48.1, 61)

Kun-Lai Summit · 59.5, 39.3

/way Kun-Lai Summit 59.5 39.3

From Stormwind (Alliance) about 2.5 min of travel

Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Jade Forest*
Fly the rest of the way

From Orgrimmar (Horde) about 1.5 min of travel

Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Jade Forest*
Fly the rest of the way

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

Notes and sources

The 29 criteria, from Wowhead's tooltip for the Glory and the table in a 2016 comment. The entrances are from the game's own table; the time there is an estimate for one visit to Mogu'shan Vaults.

Mogu'shan Vaults, ten:

Must Love Dogs (The Stone Guard)
Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better... (Feng the Accursed)
Sorry, Were You Looking for This? (Gara'jal the Spiritbinder): the Ancient Mogu Artifact activated from the spirit world during the fight
Straight Six (Elegon): six Empyreal Focuses deactivated within 10 seconds of each other
the Heroic kills of all six bosses

Heart of Fear, twelve:

Overzealous: Imperial Vizier Zor'lok dies while every raid member has the Zealous Parasite debuff
Candle in the Wind (Blade Lord Ta'yak): all four braziers lit
Like an Arrow to the Face: Garalon with none of his legs destroyed
Less Than Three (Wind Lord Mel'jarak): no more than two of his swarm crowd-controlled at once
I Heard You Like Amber... (Amber-Shaper Un'sok): Living Amber killed in Burning Amber until eight pools overlap
Timing is Everything (Grand Empress Shek'zeer): two Kor'thik Reavers killed within 10 seconds of each other
the six Heroic kills

Terrace of Endless Spring, seven; Heroic: Sha of Fear is not asked:

Power Overwhelming
Who's Got Two Green Thumbs?: Tsulong with the Enchanted Plant kept alive
Face Clutchers: Lei Shi dies while every raid member has Parasitic Clutch
The Mind-Killer: the Sha of Fear with nobody feared by Dread Spray or Breath of Fear
the Heroic kills of the Protectors, Tsulong and Lei Shi

The wiki's page for the Glory, when checked, listed 27, without Overzealous and the Heroic kill of Shek'zeer; Wowhead's tooltip has both. Show Me Your Moves! and Getting Hot In Here were taken out of the meta in January 2016 (wiki, Wowhead comments).

On the two players: the Feng feat was still done that way in 2026, with the second character only standing in Feng's abilities. Players use characters of about level 41 or take their gear off so that Feng does not die before all five abilities are copied, and say the game's own tracker does not show progress on this one; a 2021 comment adds that the five need not all come in one attempt (the wiki says the same). A 2020 reply on Wowhead names the Feng feat as the only one whose mechanics take a second player whatever the class.

Two other feats are tied to who is in the room, by the wiki: Sorry, Were You Looking for This? resets if nobody is left with the boss while a player is in the spirit world, and patch 8.1.0 let a pet hold him; Timing is Everything is described there with a pet taking the Empress's attention. The second player covers both.

Difficulty: the feats read 'on Normal or Heroic difficulty' (Overzealous and Who's Got Two Green Thumbs? name none), and the fifteen kills ask for Heroic, with 10 or 25 players. By forum reports of 2022 the three raids lock by boss kill and the first kill fixes Normal or Heroic for the week, so a run meant to cover both starts on Heroic. That makes Power Overwhelming one kill a week; whether a second kill in the same week on the other raid size counts was not established.

A 2016 comment says the mount is learned as soon as the meta is earned; it also has an item (87773).

Icy Veins' news guide of 2025 goes through the three awkward feats and agrees with the above; it points to a video for the rest:

Feng with two characters of level 50 to 60 'or a friend', one in a tank specialization, and the Instance Achievement Tracker addon to follow progress
Gara'jal with a pet or a Brewmaster monk's Black Ox Statue holding the boss while the totem and the chest in the spirit realm are clicked
Shek'zeer, who takes control of a character at five stacks of her debuff, with a pet to hold her 'or a friend'

Wowhead's own guide to Glory of the Pandaria Raider dates from 2012, last changed in 2018, with tactics for raids of the time and several Heroic entries left unwritten; it is useful for its list of what each feat asks and is not among the three linked. wow.gg's guide for this mount (2026) gives wrong requirements for several feats and is not linked.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
