You will need to obtain Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen, I got mine from a rare mob kill. You then bring the key to Aquilone dei Pandaren in the cave on Isle of Thunder to start the scenario. You will get a quest, Tesori del Re del Tuono and talk to her again to begin the scenario.

PTR way

Commento di perculia

This is a new single-player scenario in which players try to grab as much loot as they can from treasure chests before their 5 minutes are up. This is made harder by the presence of numerous challenging traps in the zone designed to attack and slow you down. I've uploaded a video of Lore from TankSpot explaining the mechanics of this run.

Depending on what you are after, it may be more beneficial to just open everything in the first room and load up on gold and Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato that unlocks chests in the final area you get sent to after 5 minutes are up. If you just skip everything and rush to the end boss, you'll miss out on looting a lot of chests along the way, but you'll get credit for part of Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro.

Scenario Loot

The most common type of chest is Cassa del Tesoro dei Mogu. This has the chance to contain:

Cartapecore Storiche Lacere, used to purchase reputation insignias such as Fregio Superiore della Rivalsa del Kirin Tor.
Talismano Superiore Portafortuna
Pietra Rituale degli Shan'ze, used to summon elites.
Spirito dell'Armonia
Gold
Incantations: Incanto di Deng, Incanto di Haqin, Incanto di Vu

Cassa del Tesoro Doratas appear to have the same types of loot but in more quantities, as well as Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato. You'll need to open 10 in one run to complete a step of Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro.

When the time runs out or you complete the run, you'll be taken to a special area filled with Tesoro Ritrovato di Lei Shen. You can only open these chests with Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato. They have a chance to contain the rewards above as well as Fregio dell'Avanzata degli Shandaren and Punti Giustizia. Based on Blizzard's most recent patch notes, there is also a small chance to get epic loot! Users have commented that they get ilvl 502 items.

Scenario Traps

While there are many treasure chests in the scenario, they're all guarded by traps.

The first room contains some basic pillar traps that periodically cast lightning (Eruzione Elettrica), as well as Mogu statues that activate and do an AoE stun (Frantumazione di Pietra) if you do not move away. Since lightning can slow, this can easily turn into a bad slow + stun combination. There are also Tessitore Cinereos that don't hit very hard, but can web you.

The second room is more complex and has many tile traps (similar to the Ruins of Guo-Lai) as well as traps that port you several feet and begin to damage you if you step inside their radius. In addition, there are several NPCs present. Sciacallo Lamalercia is the most interesting as he moves very quickly and can open doors for you, but can also be killed for Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro credit.

The third room adds the presence of Guardia di Pietra and Mogu Avvistatore di Pietra. At the end of the scenario, you'll fight Colosso Divino Gulkan, who'll try to knock you back into all the harmful traps we've described along the way.

Complete the scenario by talking to Tenwu Fumo Rosso off to the side, who is helpfully surrounded by Fumogeno Rosso. He'll give you an extra Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato.

Speed Run Enhancements

As Lore pointed out in his video, there are several reputation items that can help negate annoying traps. Most cost one Talismano Superiore Portafortuna, so if you can grab a few more chests as a result, it seems like a good investment. You can buy these from Supplier Bo in the first room of the scenario:

Pozione dei Passi Leggeri/Pozione dei Passi Leggeri: Can be used to levitate over tile traps, fall at a reduced speed, and walk on water during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Taking damage will break this effect. Requires Friendly, costs Talismano Superiore Portafortuna.
Polvere del Sonno/Polvere del Sonno: Puts the target in a magically-induced sleep for 25 sec seconds. Only works on humanoids and beasts within the Troves of the Thunder King secnario. Requires Honored, costs Talismano Superiore Portafortuna.
Sasso Comune/Sasso Comune: Can be used to distract an enemy or trigger a trap during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Honored, costs Talismano Superiore Portafortuna.
Trappola della Runa del Gelo/Trappola della Runa del Gelo: Places a rune that will freeze the next hostile target to step on it for 20 sec. Only usable in the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Revered, costs Talismano Superiore Portafortuna.
Propellente Arcano/Propellente Arcano: Consume an arcane focus to launch yourself forward. Can only be used during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Revered, costs Talismano Superiore Portafortuna. This can propel you into areas where there are otherwise-inaccessible treasure chests.
Chiave Metamorfica/Chiave Metamorfica: Magically reshape the key to fit any Ancient Gate in the Thunder King's Citadel for the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Exalted, costs 3x Talismano Superiore Portafortuna.

There are two types of runes scattered throughout the instance: a beneficial green speed rune, and a harmful red paralysis rune that stuns players.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

When the time runs out or you complete the run, you'll be taken to a special area filled with Lei Shen's Burial Trove. You can only open these chests with Burial Trove Key. They have a chance to contain the rewards above as well as Shado-Pan Assault Insignia and Justice Points. Based on Blizzard's most recent patch notes, there is also a small chance to get epic loot! No word yet what that could be.

Just got Collana dell'Arciere di Terracotta from one of the chest today on the 5.2 PTR

Commento di PurpleSquish

I'd recommend not going in right as the patch drops. I was just disconnected after being in the scenario for about a minute and appeared in Shrine of the Seven Stars when I logged back in.

Commento di Odaxis

Same, got the key. one min in got DC

Commento di Kittay

If you're dumb and blind like me, here's a hint: to open the locked door you pull a lever that is down to the left of the stairs.

I didn't see this lever and thought I had to look for a key in the chests. So I ran out of time... Nubbish.

Addition: Another lever opens the second locked door, found at the right side of the stairs.

Edit: I've submitted a screenshot of the lever, so you'll know what to look for, lol.

Commento di 346958

Confirmed, Tier 15 Raid Finder gear can be obtained from this scenario on live servers. I received Abandoned Zandalari Greatbelt from one of the bonus chests once my five minutes were up.

The drop was class appropriate and a welcome upgrade for my off-spec. Good luck, everyone!

Commento di Dalent

First run in, didn't think to look at a video or anything. Didn't even unlock the second door as I didn't know how.

Came out with the following (after looting 8 chest after I was "extracted"):
587 gold (I love the counter at the top)
1 Fregio dell'Avanzata degli Shandaren
32 Cartapecore Storiche Lacere
2 Pietra Rituale degli Shan'ze
14 Elder Charm of Good Fortune

Commento di Eddafred

For those playing classes without much for speed boosts, Pozione della Velocità can be very handy and give you an edge to beat the clock and get that loot.

EDIT: Looks like Pozione d'Acquascura and Pozione dell'Invisibilità are both also effective.

Commento di Zoeteklem

It should go without mentioning, but I am going to go ahead and mention it since I have yet to see it been made:

Don't forget to enchant your boots with a passive speed increase like: Incantamento Stivali - Passo del Pandaren, Incantamento Stivali - Velocità Smodata, etc...

It DOES make an overall difference, so don't overlook this important enchant.

Commento di Micol

Update: I've done this place twice with 4 classes(DK,Priest,Shammy,Mage), I'll update accordingly :)

I've found that rushing to the end, taking some easy golden chests on the way is the most effective method in terms of gold, loot and keys but ONLY if your Class/Spec/Gear allows you to kill god-hulk(2mil+ HP) in a short time. As a Shadow priest with healing gear, this was a problem, but as an Elemental shaman with 492, I had around 2 minutes left when he died.

General:

Verga del Filatore d'Ambra works great for CC(thanks guyfawkesday for confirming it works)

If you're extra careful and rushing, You can drink 2 Pozione dei Passi Leggeri: drink one right before talking to Taoshi, buy another one, then start.

If you don't mind spending some gold... Consider using consumables: Like Food buffs/Flasks/DPS potion for extra damage on boss, Pozione della Velocità/Pozione d'Acquascura, Pozione dell'Invisibilità for trash.

PVP Trinkets are really useful here. You can use them to ignore stun mechanics 2-3 times depending how soon you use them or if you make a mistake and stand on an evil red circle of doom.

For Pet Classes:

Pets will trigger the traps and red circles, pay attention to pets while levitating over traps so they don't blow up on your face(I yelled some really mean things to my water elemental and hurt his feelings... now he doesn't talk to me anymore).

Have your pet tank something if you get agro so it doesn't interrupt you while grabbing chests.

Command your pet to move into red circles so it triggers them and you can move freely.

Shaman tips:

Glifo Carbonizzato is great for enhancement, for Elemental, use Glifo Carbonizzato instead.

Use + , Unleash weapon on little spiders and keep moving, don't forget to change it if you've to fight though.

The big mobs on the third room are Elementals, therefore you can them(Esilio for warlocks works too).

Earth Elemental works great for tanking lots of adds while you run away and loot as much as you can.

DK tips:

Use Unholy Presence + + Incantamento Stivali - Passo del Pandaren for awesome 126% speed. Don't forget to activate Death's Advance whenever is ready too.

Use Scudo Antimagia to ignore lightning or traps, Icebound Fortitude to ignore stuns, highly recommended to glyph it as it's used mainly for ignoring stuns.

Army of the dead helps you get adds and run to get more chests.

if you're Unholy, read the little part about pet Classes above shaman tips

Mage tips:

Spec into Velocità Fiammeggiante, Invisibilità Superiore + Glifo Carbonizzato, Glifo Carbonizzato, these will help a lot movement-wise.

Use Traslazione on cooldown, try to time it so you can Blink through traps, lightning, red circles of doom. Or if you get stunned, you can use it to remove it. You can also use Ice Block to remove stuns and then remove it immediately.

At second room, Sheep any mob on your way and go right to the second door, You'll see 2 levers on each side, pop Alterazione Temporale and then jump to use the lever, when it fades or you pop it again, you'll be back up at the door and you can keep moving. Teletrasporto: Circolo Demoniaco for locks can be used the same way.
This same method can be used to get the golden chest on last room that it's on the water.

If you're Frost, read the little part about pets above shaman tips.

Priest tips:

Use Glyph of Inner sanctum and Angelic Feather to help increase your speed.
Use Levitate to avoid the traps.
Adds: Begin with Shadowfiend + Fade, Psychic Horror(If specced into shadow), when there are 3+ adds, use void tendrils or psychic scream. If you're overwhelmed, use Spectral Guise(Mobs hits the shadow 3 times and then they reset... or at least they did when I tried) or Shadowmeld(for nightelves).
Edit: Also recommended to use the 2-piece bonus from the pvp gear for dispersion

For engineers: Stivali Razzo Extremi Leggeri is awesome, you can use it and then equip your regular boots.

Commento di 1105165

Also, for one Elder Charm, you can obtain the Potion of Light steps from the Sunreaver or Kirin Tor quartermaster, it allows you to levitate over the tile traps, slow fall, or walk on water during the scenario.

Commento di Tykes

Very easy to reach the end as a Rogue.
Don't loot any chests and rush for the last room, there's plenty of lootable chests there.

Room 1: Just run to the end, try to avoid the stuns. The lever is on the left side of the stairs.
Cloak of Shadows works for the traps, so use it.
Room 2: Run to the upper right side, sap some mobs on your way and pull the lever. Go a bit down and go to the next room.
Room 3: Go to the left, don't aggro the big elemental mob (Shadowstep works great here) and pull the lever. Now go to the right side of the room and proceed to the next room.
Room 4: Just run to the boss and kill it. Try to pull him away from the dogs (or simply vanish after killing the boss). Loot the big chests and some other ones if you got time and then go to the left side of the room. There's someone you need to talk to, to go to another special room.
Room 5: Here you can use your Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato to open more chests (no time limit).

I got this on my first run:
341 gold
5x Pietra Rituale degli Shan'ze
29x Cartapecore Storiche Lacere
10x Elder Charm of Good Fortune
And some Justice Points

Commento di 250743

Is there any point to reaching the end? So far, on multiple toons, I have had the best net results when I stayed in the first room and collected as much as I can. The times I ventured into the area with the mobs went poorly.

Commento di Qairon

If you run out of time and don't manage to reach the end, you will be teleported to the end and you will still receive one Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato from the quest.. When the quest has been completed once, you will not receive any keys from taoshi at the end so if you want keys, you have to reach the end or be lucky with golden chests.

Commento di Hephaestus

Uploaded a quick 1 and a half minute video showing off a secret area in the first room that will help you skip all of the booby traps and easily get two of the rare black chests. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le_gNtO7eKA

Rogue tips for this scenario:

1. Relevant Talents
Tier 1: Predatore della Notte: More speed while stealthed? Yes, please.
Edit: It's better than Concentrazione dell'Ombra because Nightstalker stacks with Scarica di Velocità. The miserly energy cost of Scarica di Velocità makes it available again before it expires anyway.
Tier 4: Passo nell'Ombra can be useful, but Scarica di Velocità really shines: remove those roots if you get hit, and functions as an additional Scatto that can almost be spammed at will.
Tier 6: Lancio dello Shuriken. Why? Because of this macro:
/targetexact Ashen Weaver
/cast Shuriken Toss
No need to click or tab the spiders. just hit the macro when you see one. One shot is enough. You can hit after you killed one.

2. Relevant Glyphs
: significant speed bonus.
: Additional mitigation.

3. Relevant Abilities
Furtività, Scatto , Sparizione
is now baseline, and you can use it only once, but an additional glyphed Scatto may make a difference. And an additional Sparizione, too.
Good luck!

Giglio Appassito does NOT work here.

Commento di 797234

Do not try this as a holy Paladin. Your offensive abilities are too bad to kill the adds inside and you won't get time to kill the mobs in the second room

Commento di bruenir

Can anyone else confirm what I saw tonight - that Disengage would not work? I was trying to disengage over traps and I couldn't disengage at all. :-(

Commento di Baldulf

Could someone please describe how to open the door to the final room? I got disoriented and died to traps at the end of the second room, and I was rezzed in the antechamber for the final room with almost three minutes left on my timer, but found no apparent way to open it. I searched all around the door and the sides of the room for a lever, talked to the NPCs, but nothing. Is there something you need to do in a previous room to open it? Thanks.

Commento di 746315

Best advice I can give anyone doing this scenario: don't be greedy. Before you start the run, pick a goal for yourself like "find all golden chests" or "kill the god-hulk" and then stick to it. Within reason, it's impossible to get all the chests or kill the special mobs in a single run.
It is however, well within reason to reach Tenwu after doing any of the other three goals since you merely need to walk over and chat with him.

Commento di Jonse

Warlock tips: your pet will trigger EVERY SINGLE TRAP, sacrifice it.

Commento di RedTony

If you play a mage, do not forget retalenting to Velocità Fiammeggiante. Comes in very handy for the extra speed every 30 seconds and to avoid slowening traps/spiders.

Commento di Jehuty

Friendly tip, if you have the trinket Juju Cattivo and the voodoo gnomes spawn when you kill the spider by the lever in the first room, be careful if you use Pozione dei Passi Leggeri for the following traps as the voodoo gnomes set of the traps anyway.
I found this the hard way and it costed me 10 gold chests run for Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro

Commento di 749141

can you do this scenario more then once per week?

Commento di dartworth

Here is a helpful addon for The Isle of Thunder

Isle of Thunder Weekly Check

Ths Isle of Thunder has a few "once per week" events for every character. These are not account wide so you can complete these events with every level 90 character, but it's not easy to remember which character has killed a rare.. or whether you should be looking around the isle for a trove. That's where "Isle of Thunder Weekly Check" can be very handy. It opens a window with a list of possible events and whether or not the current character has completed them.

We only know of 6 once a week "events" at the moment:

Dropping Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen for the single player scenario Cittadella del Re del Tuono.
Looting the Pietra Rituale degli Shan'ze from the first rare monster killed.
Opening a trove around the island (the yellow chest) which rewards a Pietra Rituale degli Shan'ze.
Completing the quest Champions of the Thunder King
Looting one of the summoning incantations: Incanto di Deng, Incanto di Gura, Incanto di Vu. These are also needed for the achievement These Mogu Have Gotta Go-gu
Completing the quest The Crumbled Chamberlain.

Commento di NanoRoar

Here's just a plain video that shows you the run from start to end as a survival hunter (497).
With the aid of some elder coin buyable content (one Polymorphic Key 2 Arcane propellant and one sleep dust).
This was done as the fourth attempt so it's far from flawless but anyhow a kill of the god hulk and escape by talking to the red smoke dude.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhe4o8sLzMw

Hope this is good information for someone.

Commento di Karoxen

If you're going for the end boss and Tenwu, the biggest time savers will be the Frost Trap and a Polymorphic Key from the quartermaster (Assuming you have the rep for them, of course).

Use the trap on the wandering mogu leading to the last bosses room and use your polymorphic key on it, thereby removing the only mandatory-to-kill mob between you and the boss and removing the need to hit the lever on the other side of the room leading to it.

Commento di miltrath

So, there's a golden chest in the hall after the first door, but it's too high to jump up to. does anyone know of a way to get to it reliably?

Commento di Kittay

In case nobody has noticed, while in this scenario you're actually inside the exact same area as the first part of the Throne of Thunder raid. The area inbetween Horridon and Council of Elders! I'm glad those traps are not included in the raid...

Commento di 931985

There are levers near the stairs that open the doors. These let you into higher value areas. Very important to max loot.

Don't worry about finding the exit, just loot as much as you can. You get pulled out at the end.

Commento di 826859

You can bypass a lot of the lightning and stuns in the first room by climbing onto the ledge that runs around the outside of the room.

Commento di AddictedPoi

Here is a complete guide about how to kill the end boss using consumables with 1:45 left on the timer.
You will need:
1 x Potion of Light Steps for 1 Charm
1 x Sleep Dust for 1 Charm
2 x Arcane Propellants. One Charm for two propellants.
1 x Frost Rune Trap for 1 Charm
3 x Polymorphic Keys if you are lazy or one if you want less time left on the timer. Costs 3 Charms per key.

Room One
Run to the other side of the room and pull the lever on the left side of the stairs to open the door.
Spiders are annoying and cannot be Tab-targeted. Try running close to the center of the passage. Avoid chests because you cannot run through them.

Don't remember exactly whether you can bypass traps between Room One and Room Two. I used Arcane Propellants two times here to jump over traps.

Room Two
Jump over the railing on the right side. Use Sleep Dust one troll patrol. Even if you get into combat, once you reach the next door door, you will drop out of combat.
Run to the door and use Polymorphic Key.
Now use Potion of Light Steps to float over traps. If you pass over green circles, they will give you a speed boost.
Use Polymorphic Key again to open the door.

Room Three
There are two doors in this room, but one is blocked with debris. Run to the one which is free.
Use Frost Rune Trap on a Mogu patrol. He will be completely frozen and will not trigger combat if you pass next to him. Do it away from Mogu dogs because if combat is triggered near them, they will attack you, too.
Use Polymorphic Key again to open the door.

Room Four
Plenty of traps in this room, the boss stands on the stairs in the center with two dogs next to him. If you pull the boss to one side, only one dog will be activated. There is also a troll patrol in the right corner but it never bothered me.

After killing the boss I have 1:45 or something left on the timer. Plenty of time to loot many chests.
Some tips:
1. Don't loot some chests near walls because you can jump on top of them and reach previously unreachable chests.
2. There is a big chest behind the tree in the left corner close to the friendly final NPC that you have to reach. The chest is not visible at all.

Commento di darkoath

This may be repetitive, but I'm not seeing the advantages of running through the entire scenario to kill the final boss. I've done this a number of times, and I just stick to the first room alone. My last run, I got 5 trove keys. I usually average between 3-4 keys per run, and from what I'm reading, that's above the average for killing the end boss. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

Commento di akumaxx

From PTR news, it's possible to buy an empty crate as stepping stone, with elder charms of fortune. EDIT: It's Cassa di Rifornimenti Vuota. This can be used for possibly new courses, but watch out the cooldown.

Commento di omarahtopaz

So I was wondering about the Treasure Saurok that pops outta the chest since i got ganked and killed by 4 things after he spawned is he special?

Commento di GoRozZo

One run is enough to complete full achievement Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro and get a cap (20 pieces) of Elder Charm of Good Fortune. This video shows the fastest route for farming big chests and how to get a cap fo Charms in 5 minutes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp6lX5-WMtg

Commento di Karoxen

Advice to anyone running through this: The second room is death. If you do not have a feign death/vanish etc type ability to drop combat, don't risk it unless you're doing the treasure saurok achievement.

It is way too easy to set off a chain of mobs and cripple your run time.

Commento di 1061520

So, has anyone gotten anything good from the troves at the end? Other than shinzu stones or mogu runes? I have run this scenario many times on 3 dif toons. The absolute best i have done was my run on my hunter yesterday where got 5 trove keys in a single run. In the end, after opening 5 troves, i had 461g, 13 mote of harmony, 2 shinzu stones, 5 elder charms, and 27 parchments. By the way, all 5 troves keys came from the 1st run. Last week i ran the scenario 3 times on same toon, saved all my keys till end of 3rd run(ended with 8 keys) and opened all 8 troves at end. All 8 troves had gold and parchments, 1 had a mogu rune, and 1 had a shinzu stone. Oh, and the troves i opened yesterday also had 2 green ilvl429 pieces in them, which in my opinion have no busness of being in these troves or scenario at all. The few runs that i have tried venturing into further rooms resulted in much lower gold, and fewer items.

Commento di TheSuperRandomg

i will show you guys my personal route getting all 8 keys and 700+ gold!

few tips concerning this scenario: Do not walk over the electric fields and mogu slamming traps. and kill spiders before you approach them. ( i walked into lightning trap at end but was just to fetch two more chests.

try to avoid the many mobs as possible! try to CC so they won't engange you and if they do use feign/vanish like spells. if you can't just kill them quickly!

bring trinket for breaking slow&stun + swiftness potion. and arcane propellant is the most important item for this.

The Mapping is Identical (other then what was added to the solo instance. Traps, adds, objects, ect.) to the wing on the way to the Troll Elder Confrontation.

Hello guys!

Just wanted to let you know that there’s an issue with the minimap in this scenario. It can be that some areas are showing bright green, so don’t worry if you see something like this: is not an issue with your interface. We are aware of it and already working on a solution.

Commento di Evenuel

BEWARE: If You have many Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen stacked like I did and want to do all runs at once, WATCH Your Talismano Superiore Portafortuna count, because I did not notice when I already got maximum (it's only 20!) and ended up wasting half my keys....... Only understood this when after some runs NO chests gave me Talismano Superiore Portafortuna... :-s

Commento di Skyraven

Did my first run and grab about 500g and 5 Burial Trove Key. After my time ran out and was ported out, the area with Lei Shen's Burial Trove chest did not show up. What I did is logged out (not exit game) and came back in and all the chests was there. From the 5 chests that I opened I was able to loot Necklace of the Terra-Cotta Archer

Commento di 749141

Came back to this just recently and I'm unable to interact with any of the Burial Troves at the end, (they're also invisible) will try the WTF folder but will have to wait until I can try it again.

Commento di 701981

NOTE: the route shown in the video by Hephaestus cannot be completed because the Scenario apparently has been patched, at least as of 5.4.2 if not previously.

When I made a run-through following the route, the way forward along the wall was blocked after the first Black Chest. I was forced to move off the ledge into the far side of the second room, not far from the door into the third room. A PC can still bypass, thus forfeit, most of the gold and other treasures in the first two rooms, but cannot avoid encountering the hostiles in the third room or the traps in the passage after it.

My guess is that the route was originally programmed into the software so that the developers and testers could access each part of the Scenario without passing through the ones before it, and they forgot to remove or block the route before the game was released.

Commento di Wimbleton

I regret not coming here before going into the Trove. I figured - no problem; it should have some logic to it and I can figure it out as I went along.

Wrong. The simple stuff was simple, but in the second room, my Mage was simply chainlocked and stunned to death. There was no opportunity to do anything else and of course cloth armor is Kleenex armor, so that was that. I thought it might be glitched and went back again. Same result.

I'm as much a fan of masochistic pursuits as other people, which is to say not at all. Life is too short. I'd rather farm murlocs than get repeatedly one-shotted by mysterious, omniscient, invisible forces. Too much like dealing with the IRS. I love a good puzzle but when there are no options...I know, the reason we keep hitting ourselves in the head with a hammer is because it feels so good when we stop. Remind me when we get to the fun part again?

If you like complex, difficult puzzles where the penalty of repeated, "Groundhog Day" failure is really nothing more than setting the armor repair record, this is right up your alley. To me, it's like getting a Russian pedicure with a pair of rusty pliers. Pass.

Good luck, nevertheless.

Commento di Yogilaw

For pure DPS characters there is no real guilt about looting as much as possible from the 1st room only. You can avoid the lightening fields with a bit of dodging around & the spiders need to be taken out (but they're easy). Loads of gold to be had from looking around for Golden Chests, that also drop keys occasionally.

The Cittadella del Re del Tuono scenario will be an important element in obtaining the Subtlety Ladro Hidden Artifact Weapon Appearance (Tomo dei Veleni Ultraterreni). See the spoiler tag below for more details!

The steps to obtaining the Venombite weapon appearance are as follows:

Your Class Order Hall in Legion will have various tiers of upgrades that can be unlocked with Risorse per l'Enclave.
When La Volta Tier 2 Order Hall Upgrade is selected, you sometimes obtain a Biglietto delle Segrete on successful completion of an Order Hall mission. This gives you access to the Uncrowned Vault within the Camera delle Ombre, when turned into Marin Granstrippo.

A Biglietto delle Segrete can only be turned in once per week.
Moneta Fortunata di Marin Granstrippo, obtained via pickpocketing in the Broken Isles, will also give you access to the Uncrowned Vault.
Training La Volta costs 500 Risorse per l'Enclave; switching to it if you selected the other upgrade costs 2000 Risorse per l'Enclave. You need to be level 105 to train this upgrade.
Within the Uncrowned Vault, you can find a Satchel of Keys, apparently visible on a pillar within the vault. This contains Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen (reportedly multiple keys).
Speak to Taoshi at the bottom level of the Order Hall to start the Cittadella del Re del Tuono scenario. 1 Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen is required for each attempt of this scenario.

This is the exact same scenario that was available during Mists of Pandaria.
Complete the scenario (reaching the end, or until the timer runs out) looting chests and obtaining as many Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovatos as possible.
Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovatos can be obtained from:

Cassa del Tesoro Dorata (Large Treasure Chests) – 20% drop rate
Cassa del Tesoro dei Mogu (Small Treasure Chests) – 12% drop rate
Dropped by Sciacallo Lamalercia who will spawn from treasure chests in the second room. When spawning, they will stun you and attempt to escape before being killed. Pre-emptive CC (e.g. Trappola della Runa del Gelo, which can be purchased in the initial preparation room of the scenario for Talismano Superiore Portafortuna) can ensure he doesn’t get too far away. 100% drop rate for Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato.
Dropped by Colosso Divino Gulkan at the very end of the scenario (if you reach there before time is up). 100% drop rate for Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato.
Rewarded by Tenwu Fumo Rosso at the very end of the scenario. If you reach him before the timer is up and speak to him to end the scenario, you get an extra Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovato.

Use the Chiave del Tesoro Sepolto Ritrovatos to open the Tesoro Ritrovato di Lei Shens at the rest area after completing the scenario. These chests have a chance to contain Tomo dei Veleni Ultraterreni, which unlocks the hidden appearance!

For non-Ladros - Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen is STILL available in the Bottino dei Predatori del Sole/Manufatto Arcano as of August 15, 2016 - Patch 7.0.3

Inexplicably, despite the fact that Chiave del Tesoro di Lei Shen was supposedly removed from the game, these keys are still obtainable from Bottino dei Predatori del Sole (Horde) and Manufatto Arcano (Alliance). These chests are available upon reaching Exalted reputation with the Furia dei Predatori del Sole or the Rivalsa del Kirin Tor, respectively.

Each Bottino dei Predatori del Sole/Manufatto Arcano costs 15 Talismano Superiore Portafortuna, and the cap for this currency is 20, so you'll have to earn these coins repeatedly to get multiple chests. Talismano Superiore Portafortuna is sold by Comandante Lo Ping in Townlong Steppes for the cost of 20 Talismano Inferiore Portafortuna each. Use the following macro to purchase them quickly and easily:
/run BuyMerchantItem(1,1)

The Bottino dei Predatori del Sole/Manufatto Arcano are sold by Vasarin Albarossa (Horde) and Hiren Storicanto (Alliance), the respective quartermasters for their factions.

The drop rate for these keys within the chests is NOT 100%. As such, you may need to invest many Talismano Superiore Portafortuna to obtain one.
Nonetheless, this may prove to be helpful for those still gunning for the Legacy achievement Chi trova una chiave trova un tesoro.

Keep in mind that this scenario can still be run if you are level 100+ (if you have a key).

Commento di Murderr

as legion prepatch hitted scenario now scaled with your level, did one today for my coins run all npcs was 100levels :O

Commento di Ironplague

The Key to the Palace of Lei Shen required to enter this scenario still drops as of 8.2.5, although with a MUCH lower drop rate. The mobs inside are still, as of this moment at lvl 110 and do not pose any threat. The traps however vary in how dangerous they are, with traps in the first part being rather weak but growing in strength later on, being able to kill and lvl 120 character easily if not one is not careful. The rewards are not something to make this scenario worth of weekly farming, managing to make around 300-400g on a decent run.
