Bear with me. I have a new mage (well, level 39) that I’m running through Pandaria, Valley of the Four Winds. I’m at the point where I need to kill Chief Yip-Yip to get to having Haohan use his giant beast to remove the big boulder on the farm.
I completed everything up to where Yoon gives me the quest to kill Yip-Yip and sallied forth to do the deed. Initiated the attack and used all four melons to distract him. But, alas, I evidently wasn’t strong enough to take him down and he knocked me out of the cave and reset.
I abandoned the quest and went back to Yoon, and re-acquired the quest. The problem is … no more melons. How do I reset far enough back so I can plant and harvest the melons, give them to Yoon, pick up the quest to kill Yip-Yip AND get the melons again?
I don’t think it shows up in your inventory as an item. It should show up as a extra action button when it’s available during the fight. (It’s only periodically available, so don’t panic if you don’t see it at first.) Did you try doing the fight again to see if it appears?
As a tip, if you wait until 40 and turn Chromie time off, you’ll get a bit of an overlevel bonus that will make it a lot easier. (You might not even need the melons.) So, if you continue to struggle, that’s probably the easiest way to get it done.
Yep; went back two times and no melons. Yip-Yip kept resetting. In fact, standing toe-to-toe with him he did absolutely no damage to me despite all of my buffs and defensive abilities running out. I thought maybe I had “stealth” completed it and went back to Yoon to turn-in, but no joy.
Waiting until 40 is what I’m doing now. Thanks for the reply, though. I’m open to just about any ideas now while I try to get that one more level.
If he’s evade bugging, he may be stuck on some weird terrain. (And if his scripting is bugging out, you might not see the melon.) In that case, another thing to try is getting into another shard to see if you can find a non-bugged version of him. Both Warmode and Chromie Time use separate shards, so you can try swapping one of them to get into a different shard. (So, if you’ve got Chromie Time on, turn is off, and so on.)
