2025 Update!
Raid, Dungeon, Quests and Events guides available now!

The August Celestials are a faction that regroups Yulon, the Jade Serpent,ChiJi, the Red Crane, Xuen, the White Tiger, Niuzao the Black Ox,and their followers. Together, they watch over Pandaria.

After reaching level 90, you will be able to increase your reputation with theAugust Celestials by doing daily quests at the questing location of the day.

In this guide, we will detail the four questing locations and explain how toobtain all the related achievements.

1. Overview↑top

Every day, you will be able to do the daily quests proposed by one of theAugust Celestials. Your questing location of the day is decided by theintroductory daily quest given by the August Celestials Quartermasters:Sage Whiteheart at the Shrine of Seven Stars for Alliance players orSage Lotusbloom at the Shrine of Twoo Moons for Horde players.

There are four possible introductory daily quests, each of them sendingyou to do daily quests for one of the August Celestials.

From the point of view of the reputation grind, questing at the Templeof the White Tiger will yield 1,250 reputation, while questing at anyother location will yield 1,100 reputation. It will take youabout a month to reach exalted reputation.

You can earn another 400 reputation a day by doing the August Celestials Work Orderat your farm (see our Tillers guide).

There are achievements related to the daily quests. One of them isChampion of Chi-Ji Icon Champion of Chi-Ji. It will require you to do the dailyquests at the Cradle of Chi-Ji 15 times.

3. Daily Quests at the Temple of the White Tiger↑top

The daily quests at the Temple of the White Tiger are made up of 1 lonedaily quest and a daily quest line of 4 quests. For the lone quest and thequest line you have two possibilities every day. In total, you will receive1,250 reputation with the August Celestials (250 per quest) when youare sent to quest at the Temple of the White Tiger.

The lone daily quest is either The Torch of Strength givenby Lin Tenderpaw or Contending With Bullies given byXuen.

  • The Torch of Strength requires you to bring the torch you are givenall the way to the entrance of the temple without it extinguishing.

  • Contending With Bullies sends you to kill Shonuf in the nearbyvillage of Yinying.

3.2. Daily Quest Line

Xuen will give you one of two daily quest lines, which are verysimilar and require you to defeat a number of opponents at the temple andits surrounding buildings.

3.3. Achievement: Finish Them!

To complete the Finish Them! Icon Finish Them! achievement, you simply need to completeboth of the daily quest lines. In our experience, the first quest lineis offered a lot more often than the second one.

6.1. Achievement: Yak Attack

To complete Yak Attack Icon Yak Attack, you need to kill 15 Sra'thik attackers at theNiuzao Temple within 5 seconds.

The easiest way to do this achievement is by grouping with a tank andlet them tank the adds while you kill them.
