As one of Lost Treasures hidden around Pandaria, the Staff of the Hidden Master has five different spawn points – all within Paoquan Hollow in the north-western part of Valley of the Four Winds. I’ve been lucky enough to spot this item twice. Once on my hunter while questing in the area and then later on Cymre while pet battling a critter.
You can only see these items once per toon (like the Riches of Pandaria).
I was only familiar with a couple of the spawn points but I made a mental note of the remaining locations listed on Wowhead. For the next two hours, I made sure I checked each coordinate btwn killing the same mobs over and over, collecting eggs and finishing my trials.
After completing the quest chain, I decided to check each location 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 when my mouse highlighted the Staff of the Hidden Master. CRAP! I had to kill these things bloody quick!
I killed the handful of mobs while manoeuvring myself in an attempt to take a pic of the staff before someone came along and grabbed it before I could. Luckily, no one did.
Staff of the Hidden Master – Spawn Points

If only I had a staff to mog. =/
Grats Cymre!
Thx Kam
Grats! That’s a cool looking staff.
I agree
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!
I was going to ask you which spot you found yours at :)
That could be really cook. Do you have mogging ideas yet? Tehre’s a simplicity with your current outfit.
Not really, all my efforts were towards finding the staff :P
How wonderful! Glad you found your treasure :)
Thx, me too :D
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.
Yep, most of the blue items are BoA. Good luck finding yours :)
I love the look of that staff. <3 Grats on your find!
Thank you!
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….
Nice job! I know of five spots and checked them all often so congrats on your unexpected find :)
