Usage
Exit into Pongmei Valley from Maatu keep. Cast Mending and Live Vicariously on you when you get outside. Then Proceed to Xuekao, the Deceptive. Once you reach the Jade Brotherhood, carefully make your way through them. You should have just enough room to not aggro them (You can always just kill them but winding your way through them saves time). Although they sometimes are closer together than usual. In this case attack one group. You can easily solo two Jade Brotherhood (they come in groups of pairs). Make your way to the entrance (You must approach from the side closest to Maatu Keep!) at which point two Am Fah Marksmen will jump down and start attacking you. Hug close to the wall so thier arrows will not hit you. You can begin activating some of your enchantments. Start off using Way of Perfection,Vigorous Spirit, and then Locust's Fury. Wait til you have about 20 energy, then use Death's Charge on the one closest to Maatu Keep. Cast Critical Defenses then Critical Eye. You should quickly gain enough energy to reactivate any of your enchantments (only do so right after you land a critical hit so you will have the nine seconds of a fully charged Critical Defenses i.e. more time to reactivate it). Once you kill the two Am Fah Marksmen closest to you, two other Am Fah Marksmen will likely have landed on the other side of the collumn next to you (do not go past halfway of the first collumn or you will cause all the Am Fah to drop down). Run outside a ways to lead the Am Fah past the first collumn, making sure not to aggro any of the Jade Brotherhood in the process. Death's Charge to the last two Marksmen and kill them. When thats done go deeper into the building (dirictly and straight in) get out a bow (with long range) and shoot Xuekao, the Deceptive. Imediately after the arrow leaves your bow retreat back (try to go into the little alcove in the back, and make sure not to get in aggro range of the two Jade Brotherhood outside or they will come in and complicate things). This should pull him alone and without any of his allies. Although there is a pesky healer and necromancer that sometimes come along for the ride. Activate Critical Defenses, Critical Eye, and Locusts Fury. Then activate your other enchants. If Xuekao is alone then all you have to do is keep up your enchantments (remember to only activate one after you land a critical) and he will easily die. If the healer and necromancer are there with him then do what afore said until the rest of the Am Fah go ouside to fight the Jade Brotherhood. After they are out of the way, go for the healer. Ignore the necromancer and just proceed killing Xuekao after the healer has died. It takes a little getting used to but if you keep your wits about you and follow through with the above paragraph then you should be able to make quick runs back and forth until you get Daggers of Xuekao.

Counters
The Jade Mesmers and Am Fah Marksmen have interupts, so if you think you might get interupted. Activate Vigorous Spirit first since it has a short cooldown and then cast whatever spell it was you wanted to cast.
