You may well have already got a quest to look for celestial shrines;
if not, they're what look like weird stones dotted around the island,
which become clickable every few minutes (ofc if tons of people are
there on your server it may be a little hard to find a clickable one,
as one person using it puts it on cd for everyone!). Click one and you
have a chance to get one of four buffs (or just nothing), one for each
of the celestial spirits. Chi-Ji gives the 25% crit/haste/mastery one
which I like best, Yu'lon's buff is 20% all primary stats, Xuen's is
+dmg (I think 20-25%, can't remember for sure, I hardly ever get it)
and Niuzao's is dmg reduction (can't remember the %)

If you want to find rares more easily I recommend the RareCoordinator
addon btw, gives times since each was last seen (most respawn 30-60
mins after last kill, some are longer but you soon learn which;
Golganarr is the obvious one!), and handy mouseover maps so you know
where to look. To kill rares you really have to be there before they
spawn, as they die really really fast, only ship, Evermaw and
Golganarr seem to have enough health to let you travel more than a few
yards to them!
