Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in The Jade Forest, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Curse these furry pests! Kill one, and two more rise in its place... Nothing has changed, {name}. Orders are orders, no matter how few of us stand and regardless of the odds. I have plans to make and problems to solve. I want you to get out there and learn the lay of the land. Don't return until you have something useful to report. And silence that yammering fool while you're out there! Dismissed!
Plan the run before you travel
The Jade Forest belongs to the Mists of Pandaria archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 29822 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “Lay of the Land” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(29822))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(29822))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
