The 10 quest steps

1. 1Ask for the Sankwa rank

   Dialogue[20,-31] · Master of Pandawushu

   In the dojo, ask the master to put you through the Sankwa rank. It is the path of the shield, one of the first weapons mastered by the primitive Pandawas, which gave rise to the Pandasiman. He sends you to craft your shield using the techniques of old.

   The master only offers the quest 24 hours after finishing Yonkwa: Path of the Sabre.

   

2. 2Talk to Teipang

   Dialogue[23,-28] · Teipang

   At the Artificers' Workshop, Teipang explains that the first shields were made of Kwapa carapace and Tanuki hair. She asks you for 20 Magic Tanuki Hairs, 1 Immaculate Kwapa Carapace and 15 Dolomite.

   

3. 3Collect the Immaculate Kwapa Carapace

   Items

   It is a quest item: it drops from the various Kwapas of Akwadala, with a base rate of 3.6%.

8. 8Defeat Master Kwatimbe

   Combat[20,-31] · Master Kwatimbe

   Equip the Pandasiman Training Shield if you haven't already, then talk to Master Kwatimbe: he won't be as gentle as in your last duel. A fight starts, solo.
