Getting Started in Krasarang Wilds
Once you finish up in Valley of the Four Winds, Krasarang Wilds is your next stop. This zone works differently than previous areas though. You can enter from multiple directions, and the questing path isn't as straightforward. That means more freedom to explore, but also more chances to miss valuable stuff.
This zone is packed with Lost Treasures and Elite Rare enemies that drop solid gear. Here's the catch with Lost Treasures: they don't always show up immediately when you reach their location. You'll need to look around a bit more than usual to spot them.
How the Loot System Works
What Elite Rares Drop
Every Elite Rare in Krasarang Wilds is level 87, and they all share the same basic loot table for armor. You can get any of these headpieces from any Elite:
Each Elite Rare has an equal chance to drop any of these headpieces, plus a Small Bag of Goods for bonus loot.
Unique Special Items
Each Elite Rare also drops one guaranteed unique item. These are usually leg armor pieces with names that match the rare that drops them. So if you want a specific piece, you'll know exactly which Elite to hunt.
Finding Every Lost Treasure
Main Treasures You Can't Miss
| Treasure Name | Coordinates | Reward | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pandaren Fishing Spear | (50.8, 49.3) | Fishing Gear | Behind Uncle Deming |
| Barrel of Banana Infused Rum | (52.3, 88.7) | Recipe: Banana Infused Rum | Rightmost barrel, requires level 87 |
| Equipment Locker | (42.3, 92.0) | Random Boots | Long respawn timer |
Pandaren Fishing Spear
Head to coordinates (50.8, 49.3) and look directly behind Uncle Deming. The spear spawns right up against his back, so you can't miss it once you know where to look.
Barrel of Banana Infused Rum
At (52.3, 88.7), you'll find a ship with four barrels grouped together. The one you want is the rightmost barrel in the cluster. This gives you the Recipe: Banana Infused Rum, but you'll need level 87 and 600 Way of the Brew skill to actually learn it. Fun fact: this treasure is close to where Spriggin patrols, so you might run into that Elite while you're here.
Equipment Locker
Go to (42.3, 92.0) and head to the ship's lowest deck. The locker is on the opposite side from where the ladder is. Fair warning: this one has a much longer respawn timer than other treasures, so don't expect it to be available every time you check.
When you do find it, the Equipment Locker randomly gives you one of these boot types:
- Swashbuckling Boots
- Plankwalking Greaves
- Agile Seafarer's Jackboots
- Seafarer's Boots of Meditation
- Seafarer's Treads of Precision
- Seafaring Sabatons of Meditation
- Seafarer's Sturdy Boots
- Seafaring Advisor's Slippers
- Radiant Seafarer's Boots
Bonus Items Worth Checking Out
Stack of Papers
At (52.0, 73.0) on top of the hill in central Marista isle, you'll find some papers with a fun easter egg. They reference Diablo III's launch date and include a "System Failure" note about the infamous login problems that game had. This doesn't count toward any achievements, but it's a nice bit of Blizzard humor.
Saurok Stone Tablet Cave
The cave entrance is at (71.0, 9.0) in Krasarang Wilds, but the actual tablet is at (75.0, 55.1) in Valley of the Four Winds. You'll find it leaning against the left rock next to some broken barrels, with a green rune carved into it.
Elite Rare Hunting Guide
Mogu Champions
Powerful Mogu warriors and sorcerers that patrol specific areas. Each has unique abilities and guaranteed loot drops.
Qu'nas
Qu'nas patrols between (67.2, 20.8) and (67.0, 25.2). This Mogu Warrior Champion hits hard with Devastating Arc, can summon Quilen adds to help in the fight, and uses Titanic Strength to boost damage output. Kill him for Qu'nas' Apocryphal Legplates.
Combat Strategy - Qu'nas
Watch for Devastating Arc attacks and position yourself to avoid the frontal cone damage.
Kill Quilen adds quickly to prevent being overwhelmed. Focus fire on adds first.
Use defensive cooldowns when Qu'nas activates Titanic Strength for increased damage output.
Gaarn the Toxic
Gaarn the Toxic roams from (53.0, 29.0) to (57.8, 37.0). As a Mogu Sorcerer Champion, he'll spam Dark Bolt and Shadowbolt at you, plus drop Voidcloud effects on the ground. He drops Gaarn's Leggings of Infestation.

Arness the Scale
Arness the Scale moves around (56.2, 44.0) to (57.2, 48.6). This Saurok Champion is tricky to fight because of Vanish and Grappling Hook abilities, plus he'll hit you with Smoked Blade and Vicious Rend attacks. You'll get Arness's Scaled Leggings for your trouble.
Go-Kan
Go-Kan patrols (38.0, 29.0) to (39.6, 31.6). This Yaungol Champion will charge at you with Rushing Charge, stomp the ground with Yaungol Stomp, and use Bellowing Rage to amp up his damage. Killing him gets you Go-Kan's Golden Trousers.
Ruun Ghostpaw
Ruun Ghostpaw wanders between (39.8, 53.4) and (41.0, 56.2). This Pandaren Champion fights like a monk, using Chi Burst for damage, Healing Mists to stay alive longer, and Spinning Crane Kick to hit multiple targets. He drops Silent Leggings of the Ghostpaw.
Cournith Waterstrider
Cournith Waterstrider moves from (30.4, 36.8) to (28.8, 40.6). The Jinyu Champion uses water-based attacks like Rain Dance, Torrent, and Water Bolt. Take him down for Cournith Waterstrider's Silken Finery.
Torik-Ethis
Torik-Ethis patrols (14.4, 34.4) to (16.0, 36.6). This Mantid Champion is fast and dangerous, using Blade Flurry for multiple hits, creating Tornado effects, and buffing himself with Windsong. You'll earn Torik-Ethis' Bloodied Legguards.
Spriggin
Spriggin roams (50.8, 89.8) to (52.6, 88.8). The Hozen Champion fights dirty with Bananarang projectiles, Going Bananas rage mode, and Toss Filth debuffs. Beat him for Spriggin's Sproggin' Leggin' (yes, that's really the name).

Smart Collection Strategy
Planning Your Route
Since you can enter Krasarang Wilds from different directions, pick your starting point based on what you want to grab first. Maybe start with the treasures if you want guaranteed rewards, or hunt specific Elites if you're after particular gear pieces.
Dealing with Patrol Areas
Unlike static spawns, these Elite Rares move around within their coordinate ranges. Don't just run to one spot and expect to find them there. You might need to circle around or wait a bit for them to patrol back to where you are.
Timing Considerations
The Equipment Locker takes much longer to respawn than other treasures. If you're doing multiple runs through the zone, check this one last or plan to come back later.
Since all treasures here are Lost Treasures, budget extra time at each location to search around. They won't always be sitting out in the open waiting for you.
Combat Prep
All the Elite Rares are level 87, so make sure you're appropriately leveled and geared. Some of them have tricky abilities like stealth, healing, or adds, so don't expect simple tank-and-spank fights.
For the Banana Infused Rum recipe, you'll need to be level 87 with 600 Way of the Brew skill, so plan accordingly if that's something you want to learn right away.
- Multiple entry points offer flexibility
- Guaranteed unique drops from each Elite
- Great achievement progress potential
- Valuable gear upgrades available
- Lost Treasures require extra search time
- Elite Rares patrol making them harder to find
- Equipment Locker has long respawn timer
- Some fights require specific strategies
This guide covers everything you need to completely clear Krasarang Wilds of both treasures and Elite Rares. Take your time exploring since the zone rewards thorough investigation over rushed completion.
