Mogu'shan Vaults
Raid GuideRetailBoss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.
The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. The construction of these vast chambers predate any pandaren written records, shrouding their depths in mystery. Rumors once circulated of a mighty army locked within; for this reason, the vaults were the first target of the ancient pandaren rebellion, and they have been sealed ever since the mogu empire was overthrown.
Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.
