Overview

The Golden Lotus are a neutral, Pandaren faction that offers a ton of interesting rewards from powerful end game gear like Stonetoe Spaulders Icon Stonetoe Spaulders to the unique Reins of the Azure Riding Crane Icon Reins of the Azure Riding Crane mount.

Gaining Reputation

Our journey to exalted with the Golden Lotus will be almost exclusively done by completing daily quests and farming Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key Icon Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Keys in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. There are fortunately no pre-quests to unlock the Golden Lotus so as soon as you reach level 90 you can begin farming rep! The number of daily quests you have access to will depend on your reputation with the Golden Lotus but the first quest hub you will need to go to is the Golden Pagoda which can be found in the center of the zone at about (56.6, 43.6). As Alliance Xari the Kind who is located on the lower level of Shrine of the Seven Stars will give you the initial breadcrumb quest. As Horde Weng the Merciful who is located on the lower level of the Shrine of Two Moons will get you started. You will be tasked with completing a couple of one time quests and after that you will be able to begin completing daily quests. Your daily quests will begin each day at the Golden Pagoda which will give you several daily quests to be completed there and then send you off to another quest hub throughout the zone, typically you will start out with about 9 daily quests to complete, 5 from the Pagoda and 4 from the secondary hub you will be sent to after completing the initial 5 quests. Upon reaching Honored standing you will begin to find more daily quests available.

And while daily quests will likely be the majority of your incoming reputation with the Golden Lotus another way you can gain some rep is through Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key Icon Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key. Mobs throughout the Vale of Eternal Blossoms have a chance to drop these keys which will allow you to unlock an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache which contains all kinds of rewards but in our quest to gain reputation with The Golden Lotus we will be looking for primarily Relic of the Thunder King Icon Relic of the Thunder King and Relic of Guo-Lai Icon Relic of Guo-Lai. These caches can be found in various places throughout the Vale of Eternal Blossoms but mostly in the Halls of the Guo-Lai, you can find the entrance to the halls at (25.6, 28.6).

Keep in mind after each level of reputation you gain you will be able to complete additional one time quests culminating in the The Final Power quest which will grant you a highly sought after 489 item level necklace.

Reputation Rewards

Jaluu the Generous is the quartermaster for Golden Lotus; they can be found at the base of the stairs to the Mogu'Shan Palace in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

Upon reaching Revered with the Shado-Pan you can also purchase a Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus Icon Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus which increases the Reputation gain with the Golden Lotus by 100% for every character on your account, making the grind from Revered to Exalted much easier or catching up on an alt a bit faster.
