Golden Pandaria Chest Listed on Vendor, But How Do You Actually Unlock It?

Some pieces of Housing Decor remain a mystery, including a Golden Pandaria Chest listed by a decor vendor that is not available to players. It is visible to a select few, although it's unclear why or what they have done to be able to purchase the decor.

The Mysterious Cloud Serpent Treasure
Our mystery starts with Second Chair Pawdo, a decor vendor added in the latest 11.2.7 patch. Pawdo sells five pieces of decor, including the rare Golden Cloud Serpent Treasure Chest. Unlocking the decor he sells is done via a simple weekly quest he provides. That is, all the decor except for, you guessed it, our favorite golden chest.

Players have been speculating regarding the trigger to make the chest show, but all ideas so far have led to dead ends. With 100% achievement completion Pandarens, MoP challenge modes, the Pandaren Heritage questline, and all reputations ruled out, the possible sources are running thin.

The vendor may be bugged, or there is a very niche task needed to unlock the decor. Regardless, this elusive golden chest is quickly proving to live up to it's rare quality. What might be the source? Do you see it on the vendor? Let us know in the comments.
