Guide wow.gg: Pandaren Kite
Before you go
- Exalted with the seven daily-quest factions, worked side by side: Golden Lotus (what is left of its dailies at the Setting Sun Garrison since patch 5.4), Shado-Pan and The August Celestials (dailies), The Klaxxi (the Dread Wastes story to Honored, then dailies at 130 each and Dread Amber Shards, 5 for 250), The Anglers (three dailies a day at Anglers Wharf, 500 each), The Tillers (Halfhill dailies), Order of the Cloud Serpent (Jade Forest dailies and Onyx Eggs). A Grand Commendation, bought from a faction's quartermaster at Revered, doubles that faction's gains on the whole account · about 36 h over 4 weeks
- Exalted with The Lorewalkers: all of it comes from the lore objects around Pandaria and the achievements for finishing each set · about 1.5 h
- Exalted with the Tushui Pandaren: the Tushui Tabard from the pandaren camp by Stormwind's Eastern Earthshrine, worn in old dungeons, turns the reputation from kills there into theirs · about 3.5 h
In all: about 41 h of play, spread over 4 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Vale of Eternal Blossoms 84.7 62.3 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum 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 place given above is a hub chosen for the route, not where the mount is handed over: the string arrives at any mailbox. Its coordinates are the Shrine's flight point from the game's taxi table.
The journal names only the achievement; what it asks is in the wiki and in Wowhead's description of it: Exalted with all nine. A wow.gg guide says Revered, which is wrong. The Horde's achievement of the same name asks for the Huojin Pandaren instead and gives a kite of its own, a different mount.
The achievement has been account-wide since patch 11.0 (wiki). Comments from before that patch say all nine had to be on one character; whether Exalted standings on different characters now add up was not confirmed.
The time is the soft part. The 90 minutes on the spot are one day's round of dailies, an estimate, and:
- no source measured the nine reputations in the current game
- the Golden Lotus lost most of its dailies in patch 5.4 (wiki), and its present-day route was not established
- a 2023 Wowhead comment says most of these reputations could be bought with Timewarped Badges during Mists of Pandaria Timewalking, which was not looked into
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
