Tangmen are a mysterious sect run by the Tang Family, a group of assassins who specialize in highly toxic contact poisons. Specializing in Daggers and Hidden Weapons, Tangmen are the most reviled school in the game for their ability to utterly kill at range or demolish opponents with single target damage. Goon Tangmans ain't nothin' to fuck with.
"One of the more mysterious sects in Age of Wushu is the Tangmen School. They are only one of two “Neutral “schools within the world, and are masters of assassination. It is rare to see a Tangmen walking the streets of a city. They rarely choose to show themselves to others, and if you catch sight of one it is usually the last thing you see. Unlike the Shaolin and the Wudang schools, which are open to the world and its visitors, the Tangmen School is located within a mountain range. They prefer privacy from the eyes of the Empire and their enemies. The Tangmen specialize in trickery and sleight of hand to catch others off guard. The best example of these tactics is exemplified in their leader, Grandmother. Seemingly a kindly old woman, she serves as the perfect example of how the looks of a Tangmen can be deceiving. Grandmother is a ruthless and powerful leader who rules the sect with incomparable cunning.
The symbol of the Tangmen is the Giant Spider and this is reflected in their combat. They utilize stealth and poisons to defeat their enemies, shunning slow staff weapons and barehanded skills. The Tangmen prefer Distance and Hidden Weapon skills, most notably Darts. Lacing them with poisons and striking from a distance the dart acts quickly and quietly, initiating on strong targets or a killing the weak minded. For a more personal kill, the Tangmen use daggers. While the smallest of the bladed weapons in Age of Wushu, the dagger’s light weight makes for quick strikes on vital areas. A skilled Tangmen can efficiently carve up an enemy, leaving the victim to die a slow and excruciating death.
The mystique of the Tangmen often makes it seem like they are an evil sect, but they scoff at such ideas. This is largely due to the lack of knowledge the cities and villages have on these master assassins. The ambivalence of the Tangmen makes it much easier to punish evil in ways that the good cannot." -Age of Wushu official description

Quest 1 Go into the tangmen cave the entrances are at (1288, -152) and (1319, -105). Look for a room with books it is the first right from the bottom entrance. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/193/42727760.jpg/ Pick up the book and run outside you will be chased if you are a bad slow tangmen. Go to the pot in chegdu (764, 933). Go back to the basement at (915, 850). Talk to the NPC then kill the three NPCs that spawn. You will be ported out then talk to the lady with the red lantern over her head and go back to tangmen.

Go to (730, 30) talk to a person and kill the person you tracker tells you to and run around turn quest in after cut scene.
Quest 3
Group: 2-3 people Go to pecock villa and talk to the person at your quest tracker coordinates. Reset the two bosses pull and Kill Tang Yun. Talk to the npc that spawns and port to the pit. When fighting next boss run when he does "" and do something else I can't remember. Loot the "13 seals" run from his spawned double and leave.
Sidenote: You need a minimum of two people to finish the mini instance. Either ask a goon or if you have no friends, spam in world chat or sit sadly outside Peacock Villa asking passerbys for 5 minutes of their time. When you first enter the instance, run straight to the bottom and jump on the lamp to drop agro. Then run back up and jump (triple jump is best) and dart Tang Yun until you pull her to the bottom of the crossroad where you can feel free to DPS her down. With three tang stacking mangled, it shouldn't take more than a minute and a half. After that talk to the newly spawned NPC and prepare to fight the second boss. This is the same boss from PCV and he will do an instant death cone move called 'Soul Eater' (he eats your fucking soul) so whoever has agro needs to face the boss away from other players. To start off, hit the boss and bring him down towards where you spawn. If you die in this fight, you will respawn/recover at the beginning of the PCV mini instance so you will need to talk to the NPC again to teleport to the second boss. This boss will spawn adds which can be ignored or deliberately hit on by whoever is not holding the boss' aggro. Once you have the mob's attention, you can despawn the mob by running and jumping on one of the large rocks surrounding the instance. It's possible to 2 man this instance if the boss does not cast Soul Eater too often but it's best to have three people and just burn him down quickly.
Solo: Make sure you have 2m pills and or arena pills also have the drop from pecock villa "13 seals" Kill Tang Yun and your done!
