I’ve been searching for this staff since the beta as it was one of the few lost treasures I really wanted to find. Tonight my search was finally over. Feeling somewhat lucky after taming Savage yesterday, I thought I’d do some questing in the Valley. It wasn’t long before the quests led me to the Hidden Master so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to check all the spawn spots for this lost treasure.
I was only familiar with a couple of the spots having seen some of the screenshots on WoWHead. With the quests I picked up, I took my time checking each set of co-ordinates staying in the area for about two hours – killing multiple mobs, collecting eggs and finishing my trials.
After completing the chain, I decided to check each spawn spot one last time so I started killing the beasts around the first set of trees. Knowing I was on the wrong side of the tree, I hovered my mouse around the base and couldn’t believe my eyes. I saw the ‘Staff of the Hidden Master‘ text come up. CRAP! I had to kill these things quick!
So I killed the handful of mobs while manoeuvring myself around the area in an attempt to take a pic of the staff sticking out of the tree before someone came along and grabbed it before I could. Luckily, no one did.
Now all I need is a staff to mog :)

Yeah grats! Glad you found it. It’s one of only 2 treasures I have found and I can’t wait to transmog an outfit around it!
November 13, 2012
I was going to ask you which spot you found yours at :)
November 13, 2012
That could be really cook. Do you have mogging ideas yet? Tehre’s a simplicity with your current outfit.

That’s an awesome staff, grats! Are those items BOA? I’d like to give that to my monk if I find it on Arv.
November 14, 2012
Yep, most of the blue items are BoA. Good luck finding yours :)

I found that staff without even looking for it. lol. I was leaving the hidden master after doing the quest line there and found it perched up against a tree. I found it in the southeast of the paoquan hollow. I was on edge and almost out of the hollow when I found it. Don’t know the co-ords….
