Collecting the Pandaren Spirits is now possible Patch 5.1. Note you’ll only be able to pick up the quest once you’ve completed the entire Pet Tamer chain up to Grand Master Aki.

Once you’ve done this, head to your local Battle Trainer in your capital city for the starting quest. For Horde, talk to Gentle San located at the top of the Shrine of Two Moons. For Alliance, talk to Sara Finkleswitch in the Shrine of Seven Stars.

All four Spirits will have level 25 Legendary pets including the corresponding spirit reward as part of the team. For strategies, check out my video links for each spirit below.

Defeating all four rewards you with one of the elemental spirits as a reward and the achievement Pandaren Spirit Tamer.

You will then be able to do it again as an account-wide daily, giving you a chance to get the other three from the corresponding elemental dailies – the Pandaren Spirit Pet Supplies.

On a side note, Mumper confirmed the drop rates on rare stones are low from battles. “Pet daily quests offer a better rate but still not easy.”
