Where to Find the Riches of Pandaria

Looting Lost Adventurer's Belongings

In addition to the fun new content and rares added in 5.1, there were also several new achievements snuck into our logs  - very similar to the Lost and Found/Is Another Man's Treasure Achievements. These achievements are granted for finding grey items (that generally sell for around 100g) and gold from chests hidden throughout Pandaria. These items have existed since the release of MoP - they just haven't counted toward anything until now. (Any treasures that you found before the achievements were implemented should still be accounted for in your achievement log.)

The achievements are: Treasure of Pandaria, Fortune of Pandaria, Bounty of Pandaria and Riches of Pandaria. Although achievements are great, there's more to be had by finding these items than just the achievements themselves. Finding all of these items should land you about 1,800 gold. There are 18 items that count toward the achievements and each one is worth around 100 gold - whether it be actual gold from a chest or what the vendor will pay for the grey item.

Looting these items also grants a huge amount of experience to leveling characters. In the screenshot on the right you can see my level 88 hunter received 283,800xp (mostly non-rested) when she looted Lost Adventurer's Belongings. At level 89 while rested, she received 539,000xp from looting Ship's Locker. That's worth more than two quest turn-ins!

I have marked on the map below where you can find each item needed for the Riches of Pandaria Achievement in red, along with a brief description further detailing the area in which each object can be found. I have also added in the locations of other various items that do not count toward any of the achievements, but do give some gold/xp. These additional items are marked in yellow.

(To see an even larger image of this map you can also right click the image and view it in another tab. From there you should be able to zoom even further.)

Just like the Lost and Found items, each of these objects can only be picked up one time per toon. Once a toon has picked up an item there is a hidden "FLAG quest" which tracks completion for each item. You can check whether or not you've already found items by using a simple macro:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(XXXXX))

XXXXX = the flag quest number. (Flag quest numbers listed below next to each object.) If you have already found an item you will get the number "1" as a result. If you haven't yet picked it up you will get "nil." For example, if you wanted to know whether or not you've already found the Lucky Pandaren Coin you would use /run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(31401)). When I did this on my hunter the number 1 popped into my chat log. This means I've already looted that item on that character.

Here is the entire list of items listed below. I have grouped them by zone, and the letters on the left correspond to the map above. The links on the left are of the container to be found, and the right links are what you will get from each. The # on the far right of each item is the Flag quest # that can be used in the macro shown above.
