Хантам ещё проще:
Стреляете в пролетающую мимо наездницу (половина здоровья снимается в среднем), когда она уже не в зоне досягаемости, то используете гарпун на того дракона. Дальше просто добиваем в ближнем бою.
Хотя это занимает немного больше времени, но зато без проблем.

Комментарий от Mazista

Обнаружил баг.
1-й раз тупо не работал гарпун - бросался, но перс не перелетал на другого драка, не юзался на колонне тоже. Пришлось спрыгнуть и умереть. На 2-й раз было все ок.

Комментарий от Volnushka

Для того, что бы выстрелить по арнаменту, нужно пересесть на дракона, который ближе всех к колоннам. В противном случае гарпун просто не дастает до орнамента.

Комментарий от 331784

Ни единого бага не заметила - садилась с маунта, перелетала сразу после броска гарпуна, не пересаживалась на другого дракона чтоб достать до арнамента - он был красным в прицеле но кинула гарпуном и меня перенесло на башню.
Единственное - ни разу не получилось стрелять в наездницу - разрешает стрелять только в дракона.
Квест оч интересный :)

Комментарий от 238241

Квест действительно иетересный и приятный :)
Локом сделал без трат здоровья, практически

Тоже локом сделал без особых повреждений. баг для локов и пристов: если загоните в фир, вас вообще трогать не будут=))

Комментарий от realspawn

Кстати, ханту можно не только из гарпуна по мобам стрелять, лучше сначала из ружья своего пострелять, а потом уже спокойно добить.

Комментарий от Prisioner

заметил неприятный баг....убил наездницу....и сразу же другой игрок перепрыгнул ко мне на дракона..а я упал вниз и умер :(

Прошел Хантом 77лвл, вкачал Удар Ящера на макс. Прыгал на дракона юзал...
если не скидовал, то прыгал на следующего и опять юзал...
таким методом прошел оч быстро и ни разу не лечился.

Если ваш персонаж Чак Норрис но жмите кнопку 1 - удар с ноги с разворота, сразу по 5 наездниц

Квест делал в 2 подхода (срочно позвали в пати). продолжить можно, прилетев на флаймаунте к вершине. встать на краю и юзать гарпун в пролетающего мимо дракона.

Кв делается очень просто - в драконе гарпун, леди бъем как обычный бой.
Пить и есть на драконе - НЕЛЬЗЯ!

Информация для хантов, не обязательно пересаживаться на драка с помощью гарпуна, можно просто расстрелять врагов на своём! Так что для хантов этот кв не так уж и сложен :)

Квест глюченый! ТО дракон зависает на пике горы и не летит никуда, а наездники при этом пропадают, то пару раз я ни с того ни с сего упал вниз! :(

Баг, пересел на другого драка и тупо упал вниз в итого смерть.

Комментарий от belosoro4kina

Хантом играю сначала тупила и била только ударом ящера, потом попробовала стрелять на драконе - и стреляет) может близзы починили этот квест, чтобы все классы были равны?

На 4.3 никаких уже багов нету, если были. А сам квест красивый! Прыгаешь, как спайдермэн =). Жаль, что не дейлик.

Смотрите случайно не свалитесь с дракона, иначе разобьетесь а встать придется на кладбище, т.к. к телу не подберетесь!

Комментарий от 05kg

Выполнял этот квест вообще жесть как. Сначала их найти не мог, они все сверху вниз летели и разбивались, потом когда нашел, стрелять не могу на лету а магия не дотягивается до них, но тут нашел вариант, играю за Лока и своего беса отправлял драться и как мобы с агрятся подзывал его к себе вместе с ними. За квест умер раз 6-7

Комментарий от nisan350z

Дорогие игроки неволнуйтеся нашлось решение 49.0 , 68,2 лети туда и всё будет в порядке

Комментарий от oldyear

На данный момент квест явно забаган, время респа у необходимых мобов какое-то удручающее.

Комментарий от 958013

Мне показалось, что нашел решение проблемы. Сегодня так же ломал голову как все сделать. В итоге, я на своем маунте летел навстречу дракам и всадницы появлялись. Потом цеплялся за крюк, на маунта и снова по кругу. Итого 10-20 мин и кв готов. Могу ошибаться, ибо сделал кв в 5.30.

Комментарий от monkkey

Обратился 12.01.2014 в техподдержку. Не помогли с квестом, всадницы не появляются вообще, но обещали исправить в одном из обновлений. Ждем-с.
12.02.2015 - квест работает.

Драконобойца https://youtu.be/WrJ5mnoT8Qw

Yes, the Drakkensryd is easily the most visually spectacular Kill X of Y quest in the game. When you pick it up from Гретта Судья, she will hand you a Хильдский гарпун and pack you off on a proto-drake. The drake will fly west to the Temple of Storms, which rests on a very tall mountain peak. There you will enter formation with other riders, doing laps around the temple itself. At this point, dismounting is inadvisable, as there's no parachute.

To begin the quest itself, target a Протодракон Круга хильд (not a Наездница на драконе Круга хильд), and use your harpoon. This will launch you to the back of the drake, where you and its rider will fight. So, yeah, there you are, on the back of a dragon, a mile above the ground, battling to the death. When you defeat your opponent, she falls to her doom, arms and legs flailing. Continue jumping from dragon to dragon until you've killed all ten, and when you're done, use your harpoon on a Украшение колонны. That will get you into the temple itself, so you can turn in to Торим.

What isn't clear to me, though, is how ranged classes, especially hunters, would manage it. You can't get more close quarters than this.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

Комментарий от 178064

Awesomely fun quest.

Its like Indiana Jones with added Ninjas and Pirates

Комментарий от Nymrohd

It is very hard for hunters. I started the quest not really realising what it entailed as BM and ended up dying badly. I had to make some crappy hybrid melee build to handle this (and I still had to bandage after every other fight). What is interesting is that on occasion, melee attacks knock your opponents off the dragons before you have actually killed them; you get a message "Your exotic fighting unstyle unbalances the Drakerider" or something and she makes a comment as she plummets.

Комментарий от 205519

Ive had it bug out on me twice now, Instead of going to the next one my harpoon shoots em, then I just sit there on the one I was riding... untill it despawns and drops me... luckly im on a mage so I can ice block / slow fall, but its pretty bugged right now

Комментарий от 81359

Using Killing Spree while fighting the Drakeriders leads to a long drop and a short stop.

Комментарий от Ezekeil

You can shoot any of the ones in front of you. All you need is to drop him to half health or lower and finish him up in melee

Комментарий от Gata

It was bugged for me ( can't jumo to another drake ) untill I dismissed my pet ( I'm a lock )

Комментарий от 46687

Very buggy. Using the Harpoon is difficult. Took me 30 minutes to complete this quest. If anyone figures out a trick to moving from drake to drake, please let us know!

Комментарий от Blutelf

Very buggy. The harpoon never seemed to do anything. Can't complete.

EDIT: Just as I wrote this, I abandoned and re-took the quest and everything worked just fine

Комментарий от 248168

This quest was extremely buggy for me. After abandoning & accepting the quest 4 times, I finally got frustrated.

If you mount up on your epic flying mount, you can dismount in the air & harpoon the other rider as you fall. To ensure that I never fell to my death, I would aggro the rider by flying on top of it . Then I dismounted, harpooned & defeated the rider. I would advise having iceblock, slowfall, levitate or a slowfall cloak handy just in case.

Hope this helps!

Edit: Also, make sure you're targetting the drake, not the rider. I was trying to harpoon the rider at first before i figured it out.

Комментарий от 248223

DO NOT.... I repeat DO NOT, use killing spree if you are a combat rogue.

Комментарий от Tarrek

Legendary quest. If your computer can handle it, make sure you have View Distance in your video settings set to max to really enjoy the vertigo-inducing surroundings.

Комментарий от 241153

Best advice I can give is that you fly up there like normal, but as soon as you get up there, use the harpoon on the "Column Ornament", turn around and wait for a Drakerider to fly past. Use the harpoon and if it doesn't work just wait for the next. I found this to be less frustrating.

I hope this helps.

Комментарий от 211878

I'm having an awful time with this quest. The item seems to be bugged out of its mind. I target the drakes and use the item, it triggers the global cooldown, but nothing happens. I abandoned it, and I'm going back to retry it now.

Комментарий от 91079

Very awesome quest, being a fire mage I didn't have to jump from dragon to dragon and I just used living bomb on the targets and watched them asplode 5 miles in the air... and then fall down in a burning streak across the sky.

Комментарий от 36027

Bar Mods seem to be bugging out ALOT of these vehicle control type quest, logging out and disable the mod clears up issues. and after logging out and controling the vehicle using the normal blizzard UI then re enabling the bar mod seems to make it work

Комментарий от Pepperoni

I fly up there, one of them strikes me, them immediately my screen flickers and the harpoon goes invalid.

Комментарий от 235097

I don't understand any of this. I target the proto-drake riders, press the harpoon, global cooldown triggers, but nothing happens.

EDIT: After several tries, I finally got one. Some of them might be bugged, but obviously not each and every one of them.

Комментарий от 88783

It got old quick. I'm a hunter, and the meleeing wasn't too fun, shooting works well but you have to kill them before they get out of range.

Комментарий от xundk

I had a problem with completion of this quest, since I couldn't exit the dragon again. I logged out and voila, I was on the ground :)

Комментарий от 45267

Word to the Wise: Do not attempt to mount the protodrake while already mounted on the Headless Horseman's Mount. You'll be mounted on the horse - on the drake - and will be dismounted entirely when attacking/eating/drinking/anything.

Ouch :(.

(In a related note - you are able to ride various other Northrend quest-mounts while already on the horseman mount, and will produce some hilarious results... just stay away from this one!)

Комментарий от wildbodom

This is one dumb buggy q.
I hope they fix it after tonight maintenance.

Комментарий от P51mus

Caution!

You can hook onto other player's drakes while on this quest. You can't fight them like this, but the drake you just hooked onto will disappear as soon as they hook onto another drake.

Комментарий от yito

it was bugged for me too. (druid maybe because the shapeshift thing into bear)

what i did to fix was use space (jump) several times and try again. if that didnt work i hooked on my own dragon and used space again and again. then it worked for me.

hooking to an ally which is doing this quest will bug him and hell fall down xD

Комментарий от Khailea

If it bugs out, what worked for me was using the harpoon on my own drake which worked every time when it bugged out on other drakes. Then try again on another one. Worked 90% of the time.

Комментарий от 168809

Easily the most annoying quest for hunters in Wrath. But still soloable.

Here's how to prepare for it as a hunter:

If you're on a PvP server, make sure there aren't Horde around or they're friendly. This one takes a while and it's a lot easier once you get going.
You can't use pets, they just bug out and can't attack if they spawn at all.
Traps don't seem to do anything at all.
Put on as much PvP/stam gear as possible. If you're levelling cooking/fishing you should have some stam food like Baked Manta Ray lying around.
Try to max out the weapon skill you're using so you can actually hit the Hyldsmeet Drakeriders
Be ready to pop cooldowns including Deterrence, health/rejuv potions and healthstones if you get low on HP.
Make a stack of Heavy Frostweave Bandages, you can bandage while flying. If you run out you can make them while in the air.
Make sure you can switch between Aspect of the Dragonhawk and Aspect of the Viper because spamming Raptor Strike and Wing Clip will oom you pretty quickly.
If your health drops too low, be ready to jump off by using the harpoon to the main platform. The ghost-fly back is quite something with your corpse being so vertically high up, but something you should be able to avoid.
The Hyldnir Harpoon sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, so be ready to repeat the following several times.
If you do die or need to reset, the first kill is the hardest. Every kill after you can get a few shots off on the next rider so you don't have to melee as much, and then try to jump between dragons.

Melee hunter like those first 10 terrible levels ftl ><

Good luck and hope this helps =)

Комментарий от Gratzner

Indeed this quest is bugged! It is possible to get it complete, but it could take some tries.
If the harpoon doesnt work once, it might work a few tries later.

This is a tough one for hunters if you go melee right off the bat! Instead.. like someone mentioned.. fire a couple of rounds on a pilot ahead of you, then jump to the dragon. Works like a charm.

And dont forget to heal after each battle... if neccessary ofcourse!

Комментарий от 180180

If you have 1860 HP or less, do not harpoon onto a Column Ornament because the falling damage will kill you. (Do not learn this the hard way like I did!)

Комментарий от 235205

For the hunters - I dropped the quest and re-tried it four times in total just to make sure this works - the harpooning will not bug if you dismiss your pet (or at least will bug way less, did not bug for me at all later tries, the first one was a well of frustration, tho). Same may be applicable to locks, but I cannot confirm this.

Комментарий от 88175

3 tips:
You take falling damage selecting the column, about 20% ish?
You can harpoon those behind you.
It's super fun to harpoon the drake you're already on :D

Комментарий от 246099

superkool for druids. you can jump off, and switch to flightmode. Then shift out and use the harpoon on next target. try it ;)

Комментарий от kronchev

If it bugs out for you, try shooting different mounts...I had a string of 20 bad ones then it finally started working again.

Комментарий от 163020

lol, just don't shadowstep.

I suspected it'll make you fall.

but I felt adventurous:)

Комментарий от ilovemrdoe

jesus christ i have not had one vehicle quest NOT bug out on me, i got there and he harpoon did absolutely nothing when i targeted drakes or ornaments, i had to just dot up riders as i flew past (im a warlock) and hope it was enough to kill them

Комментарий от Shiza

Worst quest ever. So buggy.

Комментарий от 253253

BM Hunter here...loved the effects and creativity for this quest...hated the bugginess. This is not a test of skill but of patience. It may take a while to complete.

Advice: Be prepared to melee. Shoot the riders ahead before harpooning over. Watch the targeting, to shoot you need to target the rider and not the drake. For harpooning target the drake and not the rider. Be prepared to bandage / heal. Be prepared to take some time to get through this quest. Try to finish the quest on the higher flying drakes, if you end up too low you will not be able to harpoon the top without first harpooning a higher drake.

Also...don't skip this quest as it unlocks many more quest chains in Storm Peaks, leads to the Sons of Hodir faction (shoulder enchants), along with a number of dailies.

Комментарий от 254304

Easy for hunter, you can shoot from range and the kill count. But using harpoon give more fun.

You can also use harpoon on empty dragon to change your position, very fun.

Note: you can dismiss your pet when riding, it's solve the harpoon bug.

Комментарий от angelheart

Best. Quest. Ever.

Комментарий от 94418

Probably one of the most awesome new quests introduced in WotLK, it's also horribly bugged. You can click on another dragon, but there's no guarantee that it will work or not. This becomes rather annoying.

Also, my guild mate happened to be doing the quest at the exact same time as me, and he was right in front of me in the flying circle, and pulled himself onto my dragon. He then pulled himself off, my dragon despawned, and I fell to my death.

This could really make the quest undoable (depending on your server's population) and it could put a stop to you progressing your quest line to get Neutral with "The Sons of Hodir".

Bugs aside, I would like to see another quest like this, or this quest as a daily (If it isn't already). It was awesome.

Edit: I also had Xfire recording what was happening after my guildie pulled away from my dragon: http://www.xfire.com/video/46da8/

Комментарий от 203649

Purely epic quest, jumping onto other dragons in the air, up high, with a harpoon, amazing. :)

Комментарий от Fatality

Agreed, this was the most fun quest I have done so far in Wrath.

Комментарий от Antman

bah pain in the ass as a hunter. Especially if u just got a whole new weapon like me. 0 skill in 2 handed swords...guess I have to w8 with this untill I got it to 400 or somewhere close

Комментарий от 253835

As a warlock, i found that fear seems to stun them long enough for me to get all my d.o.t.'s cast . Then just wand until dead. Completed this quest easily . If you can manage to get to place with no other dragons flying around you, you can eat or drink. Otherwise use mana pot's.

Комментарий от Ugru

Definitely one of my favorite quests in all of WoW...once it worked.

I could do NOTHING when I started circling the Altar. Couldn't jump dragons, couldn't jump up to the Altar to end the quest...nothing worked. I had to DoT up a rider as I flew by and kill her from my dragon, then my demon desummoned and I was able to use the harpoon to jump from dragon to dragon and kill the riders.

Sp, warlocks, dismiss your demon before taking the quest or you'll most likely have the same problem.

Комментарий от 230503

If you have anything in the way of a summoned demon, hunter pet, or passive companion out, the quest will appear bugged. I had the same issue. Upon dismissing my demon, the quest worked perfectly. Might clear up the issue for some people.

Комментарий от WoWkevin

Funny fact you guys made it look this hard, you can stay at 1 dragon shoot at other mobs at the dragons without beeing on their dragon. This made it so epic, mounted ranged combat, always wanted it.

Epic i tell you, epic.

Make sure use your Aspect of the beast, yeah you heard me, AotB., this give you 10% more melee attack power.

Комментарий от MonkeyPower

Noticed nice bug in this guest: if you have hh mount and start guest still mounted: your horse will be mounted to dragon ^^

Комментарий от 231954

This was the most epic quest for me in Wrath, but, well, it was the only one that also made my head spin.

You can eat and drink while you're on the dragon and not in combat.

Edit: I didn't have problems drinking, no matter how close the other dragons were, contrary to what another comment says.

Be very careful if you do this quest with group members, I accidently pull my mate away from the dragon and he fall all the way down to hell......

The best quest in the whole game when it comes to "kill X amount of Y" in my opinion!

Didn't see it mentioned yet but, even though it may seem counterintuitive, you can eat/drink while on these drakes, in between fights.

Комментарий от 258952

If you're a Rogue, DO NOT use Killing Spree as it will dismount you and the fall is fatal lol.

Комментарий от lios

This is the most stupid, idiotic quest ever. I have no chance as a hunter. I´ve been doing this with my warrior friend. I keep flying, he kills and we both hope I was close enough. He killed about 40 before I got 10. This is really unbelievable. What drugs were they on when they thought of this?

Комментарий от 188968

My least favorite quest so far in WOTLK, as a rogue.

First time I did this I was harpooning from drake to drake all happy and what not, then blam I harpoon to one, there is no mob on it, and I fall to my death after 3 seconds of sitting there doing nothing.
At this point I was uber #$%^ed, but no biggie I guess, I'll just try it again.
I started it again...harpooned from drake to drake, %^&*ed off this time, then I decided to use killing spree....(okay not a brilliant choice but eh, blizz should've seen this happening) and as expected I bounced right off the drake and fell to my death again...
I did it again and succeeded, though it was terrible in the process.
The morale is, don't use killing spree (or have bad luck)

Комментарий от MarsJenkar

Got the quest on the first try on a frost mage. Ice Barrier helps a *lot*.

Комментарий от warrboss

Did this as an 80 hunter with about 3600 AP and 15k HP (MM) I shot a few of them down from range. When I did melee one down I switched to asp of the beast for the melee AP boost and used raptor strike and mongoose bite and didnt die once. Not nearly as hard as some people make it sound.

Комментарий от 260402

They need to get some epic music going for this quest

Комментарий от 260468

This is officially the second stupidest quest in my opinion Blizz has created. I'm not going to spend 1000g on repair bills because i get booted from another drake 2 seconds after i harpoon it, then fall, die. rez, fall die rez, fall die, rez. And it's bugged for hunters too. The first and officialy crappiest quest is Aces High. I hope Blizz dies in a fire.

Комментарий от 246389

You can use bandages or food and drink on back of proto drake.

Комментарий от Ninja1

Hunters, very easy. Have the NPC front of you. Start by Serpent sting it, Arcane shot and not needed, but if u have the time, steady shot, then use harpon and start attacking the NPC on the drake when she is like less than 4k+ HP.

Комментарий от ZzaK

Right, so after reading oh so many comments I expected this to be annoying as hell since Im a BM hunter, but now, after I just completed it I dont understand what was so hard ? Why make special tactics ? Why bring pots ? and why the HELL do you want to use Wingclip ?.

I used around 2-3 bandages in total and I was only using Raptorstrike+Mongoose bite and Deterrance when I could.

I was lvl 79 and with normal gear. Extremely easy.

Комментарий от Punjab

This quest was so much fun.

As a mage I accidentally unseated myself, so I hit Slow Fall and glided down to a lower level. I didn't want to fly all the way back to the village to catch another drake, so I flew up to the top of the temple and stood on the edge, and sure enough I could target a drake rider from the platform. Of course, she was moving pretty fast so I spent a few seconds flying behind her, attached by the harpoon, before catching up and dismounting her with a PoM-Pyro.

Awesome.

Комментарий от 248674

I wasted an hour on this stupid quest. The chain shoots out, attaches to another Drake, and nothing! I finally had to just eject, as nothing I tried did anything at all. I tried again, thinking BUG, and after another 15 min of flying around in circles another player targeted my drake, and we both fell to our deaths, that was fun.

Комментарий от Canbie

Extremely buggy. I started the quest. But my harpoon just shoots and nothing happens. I can't dismount or do anything. I had to log out and back in to me falling to my death.

Thanks blizz.

Yes, you can eat and drink whilst on a dragon out of combat during this quest.

Комментарий от 130895

I don´t know why hunters complain about this quest. First, you can just get a couple of health potions and use your melee abilities, it should be enough.
Second (I am not sure, only tried it when I had 1 rider left to kill), you don't even have to land on the drake. Just shoot the riders of other drakes with your shots, they will die and fall off, and you will get credit. If you don't, shoot them until they are 10% health that jump onto their drake.

Комментарий от Valustria

This quest needs to be a daily, just so I can do it whenever I want because it's so badass!

Комментарий от 243280

tips for hunter

I am hunter, =D

just serpent sting the closest target in front of you if possible just shoot him again till he got less then half health and use harpoon to jump over his dragon..

it works for me :) smoothly lolz

and i quote from Nehalem :

Make sure you can switch between Aspect of the Dragonhawk and Aspect of the Viper because spamming Raptor Strike and Wing Clip will oom you pretty quickly.

Комментарий от 259352

Turn Off Your Mods =oD

the harpoon was working when it wanted to for a while until i turned my mods off and had no further problems.

p.s.
for hunters: use trinkets + deterrence

Also Aspect of the Beast (if you want to spare dodge from Dragonhawk) gives you 10% increase of melee attack power.

Комментарий от 38238

after few minutes of failed tries to jump, I found out that as a hunter, you have to dismiss your pet first. then all the harpoon throws are successful.

Комментарий от 103095

VERY IMPORTANT BUG INFO!

as an unholy Death Knight I had a permanent ghoul pet out when I accepted quest. after arriving at the temple, the Harpoon would glitch out anytime I launched it at another drake...it would fire, and go into cooldown, but nothing else would happen. my pet was still flying around with the vehicle, so i used ctrl+v to bring up nameplates, targeted my pet and dismissed, and this fixed the bug.

don't know if this is an issue with other classes, but it worked for me.

Комментарий от gnidleif

Hands down the worst quest I have ever done, that stupid harpoon doesnt work and I have to ride around and try to shoot them down, but it wont work since the dragon just rides away from them a second later.. WHY couldnt they make the !@#$ing dragon controllable or atleast the harpoon usable!

Комментарий от 204878

Somehow I fell off, I used slow fall to survive. I flew back up and managed to harpoon another drake, you don't have to fly back if you survive.

Edit: If you harpoon onto a drake that has a player on it and no NPC then they leave, you fall off.

Комментарий от MoonLite

NOTE: DISMISS YOUR PET if you're a hunter / warlock / deathknight, or the Harpoon won't pull you to other dragons.
NOTE: Killing Spree, Disengage or skills like that might make you fall down.
NOTE: If you jumped to the platform, you can still jump back to a proto dragon using your Harpoon.

Why oh why can't THIS be a daily quest! I could do this all week! :D
wheehee
*fights a few more riders for the heck of it*

Комментарий от 246906

Another small bug I found with this quest. While riding, you can eat/drink. If you use your harpoon while eating, you'll land on the next drake and continuing eating. Even more peculiar than that, however, is that you can fight your opponent while you continue to restore health and mana from food.

Комментарий от Rompetomp

Single.. most.. epic.. quest.. EVER!

Комментарий от Tirshata

Since no one has mentioned it, that i can see. If you target another PC you will be dragged to their mount and then dismounted to fall. If you are dismounted and lived, just mount on your own flyer, fly to the top and harpoon a passing drake to continue the quest.

Комментарий от Tyrent

Best quest EVER

Комментарий от Akir

Hookshot =D

Комментарий от 136737

PvP note here: if you harpoon a drake with a member of the opposite faction riding it, then use the harpoon on the column to leave the drake, it will despawn and send the other player plummeting.

Just had this happen to me >.<

Комментарий от 217797

Once every few levels, theres one quest that makes me proud the be a warrior, this was that quest...

Jumping from dragon to dragon butchering these women was OMG, so fun.

perhaps the easiest quest i've ever done in Northrend, as a warrior.

Комментарий от ZekeTheSquirrel

I timed the fall once, before trying the quest. I think I could have made a sandwich before I hit the ground.

Very epic, very fun. Got the whole thing on video, uploading now. Easily soloed as a holy paladin. Never stopped to eat or drink.

Комментарий от 151629

Extremely annoying for hunters, on the verge of sadism. Fortunately I am survival and am specced for for savage strikes.

One neat little trick if you are specced for it is to pop a wyvern or serpent sting on them before you leap, but it isn't as simple as Ezekiel suggests because you have to wait for them to get into shooting range first (which can be a bit of a wait) and then pick the correct drake before they fly out of harpoon range.

Other than that it is really just a pain or an unnecessary challenge depending on your mood at the time.

Комментарий от 253906

I can understand people getting confused, it took me a while to work it out. It's not bugged for me and some people may be getting it wrong.

The quest starts, with the dragon flying you to the temple of storms. There it circles round, and will not kick you off. Target a fellow DRAGON. Not a rider, a DRAGON. Use the harpoon on the DRAGON and you will shoot over to it. Then, target the rider and kill him. You will stay on that dragon. Now, target another DRAGON. Use harpoon. Kill rider, and repeat. Once you have done all 10, click on a pillar ornament thing (the lamp on the pillar) and use the harpoon. If you find you are out of range, harpoon up to a higher dragon. Make sure you have a decent amount of health as when you drop onto the temple of storms you will recieve fall damage. Walk to the center of the temple and speak to the guy.

Quest done :)

Комментарий от 125158

I was able to knock off a fellow horde off their mount (it kicked me off too), killing us both.

Комментарий от Trassa

From an unprepared hunter to other hunters:

1.) Have health pots. At least 10.
2.) DISMISS your pet! Seriously, do it before you start the quest.
3.) If you missed #2 and started the quest, press V to get the nameplates up, click on your pet and dismiss it.
4.) Harpoon a mob in front of you and it will launch you over to it.
5.) Raptor, Mongoose, Wingclip, Hunters Mark, Trinket.
6.) Repeat #5 in any order until you get to about 50% health, then eat a health pot.
7.) Repeat #5 till the mob is dead.
8.) Eat and drink, wait for short cooldowns and start back at #4.
9.) When all 10 mobs are dead, harpoon onto one of the small lights on the tower and talk to the quest giver.

This took me so long that my 5 min Rapid Fire cooldown was up every other fight.....

Still a good quest, even though Blizzard is either playing a joke on Hunters or forgot that we exist when this quest was made. :D

Also, we can knock cross-faction toons off of their mounts and have them fall to their death if they start the quest around the same time. :)

Комментарий от 253187

Those ornaments were always too far from me because I happened to have been on a low flying drake. If you ever run into such a situation, just get onto a high flying one and immediately use the harpoon again to get onto the temple platform.

Комментарий от 185039

I believe that you cannot harpoon to a drake that is flying below you. My harpoon worked 100% of the time on drakes above me, but none of them worked below me. I'm a Druid, I was in boomkin form the whole time, quest rocked, and no, Typhoon didn't throw them off for an easy kill :(

Комментарий от 31213

Yeah, maybe there's some trick to it or maybe it's just bugged, I don't know, but this quest was unbelievably annoying. I simply could not get my harpoon to work on anything, near or far, above or below, to my left or right. I eventually got the quest done by putting the harpoon on my action bar and spamming the living crap out of everything in sight hoping one would hit. Harpoon seems to only work on 10% of the mobs.

Комментарий от Astralen

If you want play evil, harpoon onto a drake mounted by another player doing the same quest. When you harpoon onto the next drake the player you left behind will bug out and fall to his death. Dont know if it works on opposing faction players (PvP server).

Комментарий от Maxlord

this quest is very much like the game LAIR for the Playstation 3 seems like that blizzard may have played it and just added the idea in here sure was fun tho :D didnt know what to really do at 1st but then i saw the item im like ooh lol

Комментарий от 249341

instead of targeting the drake, and then using the harpoon. Then click the harpoon, then click the drake you want to mount.

This worked out for me

Комментарий от Gumbomcnasty

Confirmed. After trying everything else I dismissed the ghoul and it worked like a charm.

Комментарий от Thrakin

You can't use pets, they just bug out and can't attack if they spawn at all.

I'd like to add that I couldn't jump to another drake at all without dismissing my pet.

Комментарий от 207536

So.... Shadow Fiends don't fly XD

Also, its pretty badass watching the rider you just kicked off fall flailing towards the ground.

/vote for daily

Комментарий от TweFoju

i actually dismount after killing 10 of the raiders..

lol, it wasn't the cleverest thing to do, luckily im a Shaman, i ankhed up and fly manually to complete the quest

Комментарий от Assassinman

As a rogue DO NOT USE "KILLING SPREE." You will fall off.

Комментарий от 167524

Protip as a hunter.

Target the riders, Serpent Sting, then quickly hop over. Made the quest much easier.

Комментарий от 195844

It's not actually that bad as a bm hunter. Just pop AOTD then spam melee abilities. What alot of people don't realise is you can eat on their backs in between fights to get your health back.

I'm pure BM with a few excess points in MM, sure it took longer than it would for other classes but theres no reason any hunter should die on this quest.

Комментарий от PhazeShouta

Make sure you use the harpoon to throw yourself onto the platform you circle around. If an alliance jumps onto your proto-drake, there is a high possibility you're going to be thrown off. This happened to be, but luckily I'm a mage, and I was able to slow fall all the way down. Was a pain to fly back up though, no epic flyer. Sed faiz! D:

Комментарий от 274134

How many things could go wrong with one quest ? You shouldn't have to look at Thott or WH every quest. I make multiple attempts with harpoon with graphic showing me harpooning other drake but I'm not leaping. So I dismount after using harpoon, Death #1. After using my own flying mount, I finally make a few successful leaps and kills. During one leap however I leap onto a drake with another player on it, he leaps away and my mount disappears, Death #2. When I get back to my body I am dead half way down a sheer cliff giving me no choice other than to take another 10% damage and rez midair falling to Death #3. When I get back to where my corpse is supposed to be, there is no body to be found, can't rez, so have to go back to Spirit healer and take another 25%. at this point all my gear is yellow from questing with a couple of red items. I'm one kill from completing I get back on my flying mount leap onto a drake and find out my weapon is broke, Death #4. /camp

Комментарий от 70260

If you have pets up, dismiss them as they prevent the usage of the Harpoon, this was at least the case for me on my Death Knight.

Комментарий от 53461

Don't make the same mistake I did and target the mob and attempt to use the Harpoon, doing this will result in a message that says Invalid Target. You need to target the DRAKES in order to jump between drakes.

Комментарий от Salroh

As others have said this is soloable for hunters. It may just take a little longer.

Make sure you have Wingclip, Raptor Strike, and Deterrance in your bar. If you can try to reduce the riders health by shooting at them and then jump on the mount. If not, don't worry it'll just make the fight a little longer, jump and use Wing Clip, Raptor Strike, and Deterrance and you'll knock them off.

It feels so could when they say "You Fight Like A Beast" or "Where Did You Learn That" as you knock them off their mounts.

Комментарий от dannalingur

This quest is no proplem for Death Knights

Комментарий от 137505

One thing i noticed was if your on your proto-drake and you eating food or drinking water when you launch yourself to the next protodrake and enter combat you will still be drinking and eating. It will continue to regen during combat which is awesome. I am a mage so whether or not this affected it, im not sure.

Комментарий от 275964

This quest is hard for hunter. Just make sure u got full life when u are jumping to an other dragon.

Комментарий от Blackingout

Really one of the best quests out there.

Pretty straight forward, if you run out of health/mana you can eat/drink on the drake

Комментарий от 145032

Still bugged on December 14th, I got randomly dropped, luckily I'm a priest so I waited until I was near a ledge and levitated. If you have your epic flyer you can quite quickly fly back up, dismount in mid-air and quickly use your harpoon.

Комментарий от 104447

Be careful if another player jumps onto your mount! The mount beneath you will despawn as soon as the FIRST player leaves it. So while it may be cool to fly around with your buddy, one of you is gonna plummet to ground.

Комментарий от 277804

this quest is bugged big time. mainly when you soot at the pillar you get falling damage somehow and loose half your health. I died 6 times! this quest is not worth doing because it cost me 20 gold.

Do NOT leave the dragon assuming you're gonna get a parachute. You will fall a long, long, long way.

Комментарий от cammanch

Ok so I harpooned about 40 proto-drakes and about 20 ornaments....but to no avail. I would not come off my dragon. This only thing I found epic about this quest is the bug residing within it's programming.

Attention everyone on pvp servers:

You can get ambushed. (just killed an unlucky mage i accidentally harpooned)

If youre feeling mean, use the harpoon on a dragon with a player on it and kill. Players fall off just like the drakeriders...they make the dying sound, and fall 3 kilometers to death =).

Комментарий от 61938

If you are knocked off but are able to survive the fall, you can fly back up there on your own mount and harpooning onto the drakes still works.

Комментарий от 137673

They may have changed this quest. I just did it on my DK and I had to kill all of them 100%, but my GF's beastmastery hunter only had to do a tiny bit of damage before they would just jump for their deaths...perhaps it got patched to be easier on hunters.

Комментарий от 285693

BM HUNTERS!
Theres not big special prep need. You can target and fire Serpent Sting while mounted. Fire a Serpent Sting at the rider, then quickly target drake and harpoon to it. Now spam Mongoose and Raptor Strike. I was easily able to melee the rest f the HP left from Serpent Sting. The use a Bandage in between if need. Most of my fights I knocked the rider off before the fight was done.

Комментарий от 95299

I just did this on my BM hunter. She has two Traditional Flensing Knife's equiped and it was quite easy.

You can eat and drink while sitting on the drake.

Комментарий от 183579

NOTE FOR HUNTERS:

1) Use Hunter's mark to mark a rider
2) use all instant shots before they fly out of range if your fast enough you should be able to kill them
3) if you weren't fast enough use the harpoon to go over to them and finish them off use Raptor strike or Mongoose bite

This is what i did as an MM specced hunter
I basically used :-
Chimaera shot
Aimed shot
Arcane shot
(and if they hadn't died)
Kill shot

For BM Specced Hunters
I would Suggest Using:-
Steady shot
Aimed shot
Serpent sting
and if it appears that they are moving to far away use the harpoon and start using melee

and the same would apply for Survival specced Hunters
Just remember if you have Improved Tracking to set the tracking to humanoids to increase damage

For any Hunters with the Scatter shot ability use this often as it basically stuns the enemy for a few seconds allowing you to get an extra attack in without being damaged back (helpful for close Hp battles)

Hope this is helpful :)

Had the "pet bug" as a DK but with no pet. no idea what happened, but I got a "lock" with my harpoon *maybe* 1 out of 20 tries. SUPER annoying. Not sure what was going on since I had no pet (Frost spec). Otherwise awesome quest ruined by bug.

Комментарий от Dadaum

This quest should really be a daily. I would love it to do everyday.

Комментарий от Coldblooded

A few of their comments i saw when my exotic fighting style made them plummet 2 miles down:

-You fight like a beast!

-Where did you learn that?

-What the--?

Hunters, spam wing clip as it gives a bigger chance for this fighting style thing to proc. Also, if you're Marksman and have decent gear, you can just pick them apart before you even have to jump onto their proto-drake, 2 of my kills were done like this.

Комментарий от 284887

Awesome Awesome quest. As a lock - ditch the pet, it will keep the harpoon from working. - If you fall and die, you can fly back up and get back into the fray by targeting a protodrake and firing the harpoon.

Being affliction spec, I decided to just fly around dotting all of those stupid enough to come within range (which is quite far). Killed 10 really fast.

Комментарий от sasexw

I got it at the last kill >.< jumping on their drakes makes it much easier :P

Комментарий от 231882

'twas not that difficult for me (being a BM hunt) than i thought :)

most scary for me was that jumping onto another drake in midair, as i'm not very fond of heights, especially when the ground is more than 10 meters below you and here it is, for sure

Комментарий от barak0

you can actually eat while fighting!

i ate and then used the harpoon on another drake and i was still eating

Комментарий от 286890

I seriously have no idea what's wrong with you other BM hunters. I have a melee action bar that I use for melee if I ever get in such situations, and I was fine the whole time. Only had to eat twice... I have a blue polearm, too. 15k HP, 2511 AP in melee... make sure you have aspect of the dragonhawk on, too. ( I used nothing but mongoose bite and raptor strike, also. )

Комментарий от 170593

this quest isint any hard for hunter just use raptor strike, mongoose bite and aspect of the monkey, and eat food wheen you get low healt=D did it with my lvl 80 hunter(beastmaster), but how do i get down from the dragon without dieing?

Комментарий от kaze950

And the award for most annoying and ridiculous quest goes to....THIS ONE!

Seriously. I knocked 3 riders off, yet I don't get credit for defeating them. Not to mention that the moron who designed this quest forgot that ranged classes exist. It wouldn't be so bad, if my weapon skill wasn't so low (I am hardly ever in a melee situation)

Комментарий от KillerCaitie

I was flying around shooting the harpoon, the chain would go out & nothing would happen... I became quite annoyed by this & decided to look up the quest online, read about people's pets bugging the quest then realized that my VW was out... So I dismissed him & now I've having fun flying through the air & sending people to their deaths yaaaaaaaay

This quest made me reminisce of the hookshot. :)

If u are a hunter then just use raptor strike when fighting sometimes it just throws them rite off you will see some text that says <name> excotic fighting threw them off the proto drake

Комментарий от 75756

I'm a BM hunter with 15,7k hp and 9k mana and I had no problems with this quest.
I put on Aspect of the Dragonhawk, dismissed pet and jumped from a drake to another killing the riders quickly. I used raptor strike, mongoose strike and wing clip. I never used bandage, potions or food buff.
So don't worry hunters: it's an easy quest.

Комментарий от 292549

I did this as a BM hunter, it actuallly isnt as bad as people make it out to be... keep in mind that Mongoose bite is always available now (not just after you dodge), spam this as well as raptor strike. you are allowed to bandage and use potions in flight (i even made some bandages during the quest while mounted, haha). you dont have to die in order to complete this quest, they fall off the drakes usually before they reach half health

also for you taurens out there, warstomp is allowed as well.

Комментарий от 220871

I am a BM hunter and after spending 10 minutes trying to figure out why the harpoon didn't work i dismissed my pet. Same should go for warlocks and DK pets i would assume.
Anyways as a hunter just jump onto the mount and use raptor strike and mongoose bite. I suggest aspect of the dragonhawk for the dodge but aspect of the beast works too. Half the time the target falls off early, if they don't your still not likely to die just off one so just heal up if you have to. I only healed twice during the whole thing and I was never knocked off.
Easy quest.

Комментарий от 220871

Wing clip only reduces movement speed and so you actually hurt your self by using it. Way to know your class. It also no longer does damage so there is zero point in using it on the quest.
Just shows how easy the quest is once all the bugs are cleared.

Комментарий от 220871

assumed upon completing the quest, and dismounting, that I'd be slow falled to safety.
To my dismay, this did not occur, and resulted in a squishy red mess of what was a tauren, and to make matters worse, when I ressurected, I simply slid down the mountain into another red mess, this quest cost me more in repairs than I gained from it, still fun quest however.

And this is why everyone should simple read the quest log. Can't say you weren't warned.

Комментарий от canyoneagle

Pretty epic scene to act out, with the swinging from one drake to the next waaaaaay above the ground.

I found that the harpoon didnt ALWAYS land me on the back of the drake I was targeting. In a few instances, I came up short and fell to my death. This seemed to occur when the targeted drake was at the edge of the range for the harpoon. So, I'd recommend only jumping to nearby drakes to be safe. Armor repairs are EXPENSIVE for such a fall.......

FUN quest!

You guys downrate too easily. Is there any value in the possibility that the harpoon doesnt ALWAYS work? Geez guys. work with me here.

Комментарий от 20417

a few times (as a hunter anyway) When I mounted a new drake and attacked the NPC on it, I got a message that said "Your Exotic Fighting Technique throws the Drakerider off Balance." This promptly threw the poor rider off in one hit, saving me the pressure of hunter-melee combat a few times. I can't vouch for this working on other classes, but it certainly saved me some time and made things easier.

Комментарий от 281735

Just to confirm, you can hijack the drake of an opposite faction. Have fun!

Комментарий от 249040

This quest seems buggy. The first time I tried I just kept flying around and when I targeted another flyer and clicked my harpoon it wouldn't attach. I kept flying around till I dismounted.

When I tried again it worked but then I couldn't dismount. I kept clicking on the pillars to dismount but I just flew around forever until some Tauren jumped on my mount and I fell off. Was fun up till that point :D

Maybe it's the 20 or so addons I'm running.

Комментарий от 256123

Who thinks they should make a battleground like this? I do.

Комментарий от Syladind

Poorly designed quest. Any ranged class will have trouble at the melee combat, druids automatically get shifted out of their forms with it, so feral druids might have a longer time if they didn't bring water, and most of the time, for me anyways, you can't harpoon other dragons. It just doesn't let you. Took me an hour to get it done.

Комментарий от Lohr

Here is a great tip!

If you were like me and you used Killing Spree by accident lol you fell to your death and you kicked yourself in the ass! lol Not a problem! Go back to your corpse get on your flying mount and get really close to a drake enough to where you can dismount and use the harpoon while your falling but you have to do this quick otherwise you'll fall to your death again! lol! Good luck spiderman!

Комментарий от tommy5547

Dismissed pet, fine it worked better making the jumps, BUT at two times, I fell off and died when trying to crapple.

First time another dragon, and the other time when trying to grapple an ornament.

Not so fun repair-bill. I wish I could do this naked.

if u can actually do decent dps a single serpent sting, steady shot arcane shot trio combo downs the riders and u dont even have to jump or dismiss your pet

Комментарий от Moongoddess

I just did this quest, and some how in mid air, I dismounted. But lucky for me being a druid and all, I went into Flight Form, found a dragon rider, went out of Flight Form and then used the Harpoon to get back on a dragon.. And on with the quest!

To add, this quest is really funny. The best quest ever I have done :D

Комментарий от 108727

Upon accepting this quest your character will immediately be mounted on the dragon. Make sure if you are a pet-class (warlocks, hunters, unholy DKs) to dismiss your pet before accepting the quest!

I'm not sure if it's still bugged or not for pet classes, but better safe than sorry!

Комментарий от 137190

This quest should be made repeatable, just for the sake of awesomeness.

Комментарий от 201035

I became a BM hunter to be sitting on to pof a dragon using melee skills not able to let my pet help...hmz...great quest yes

Some tips, if not mentioned before:
I used serpent or scorpid sting while I was in range and fired as many shots as I could.
Then I used harpoon, deterrence if it was ready and raptorred and mongoosed the living hell out of the enemy
Aspect of the beast and dragonhawk are handy to use with melee or ranged
For hunters, Hawk Eye might be usefull as it gives you some extra range before having to go solo melee

It seems there are more vehicles in WOTLK then in the new Need for Speed :S

Комментарий от irharry

If you harpoon a drake that another friendly player is using, you will sling over to their drake just the same as you would to an NPC's drake, but will not be able to enter combat with them.

However, you then harpoon to another drake, for some reason that player will fall to their death. On the same token.... if you harpoon to them, then they are the first to harpoon off to another drake, you will also fall to your doom.

note u can bandage while on 'em

Комментарий от synz1976

***IMPORTANT***

If you are a class that has any sort of pet, you MUST dismiss your pet or else the fighting on the back of the drakes will not work!

If you launch your harpoon at another drake and you do not jump off yours and on to the back of theirs, make sure you do not have a pet summoned. So Hunters, Warlocks, and Death Knights dismiss your pets before starting this quest!

Комментарий от 305180

I kept restarting the quest and falling and restarting. Excellent point: If you fall and survive, use your flying mount to fly up to the temple and remount a drake with your harpoon by standing on the edge to continue the quest!

Комментарий от 305264

Interesting note for warlocks. Fear does work, but opponent has nowhere to run to. Therefor the opponent will just sit there passively while you go to work. A little helpful since you can't use your pet on this quest.

Комментарий от laughingnome

After the quest completed, what was I suppose to do? I killed all ten and I'm just continually flying in circles! Must be a bug. I had to jump off the bird and then I did the Mage slow fall, ended up on the edge of the cliff then I mounted up to head back.

Комментарий от 57008

As a bm hunter i didnt dismiss my pet and was able to do the quest just fine.

Комментарий от amerskos

Quite possibly the coolest quest EVER!

Комментарий от mbrent4235

Absolutely epic.

I will confirm with others that your pet MUST be dismissed in order for this quest to work properly. With your pet out the harpoon will not work at all and you will wonder what the objective is.

Secondly, be careful if another player (of the opposite faction on a PvP server, in my circumstance) jumps to your drake and proceed to another. After they move on, you will be kicked off after just a few seconds, causing you to fall to your death! Make sure you are the first one off if you are in that situation!

Комментарий от EightBitBus

Sometimes, you'll get the mob to about 80% and then get an emote that says "<Name>'s exotic fighting technique throws the Drakerider off balance" and then the mob falls off. This only happened half the time while I was doing it and it didn't seem to be triggered by anything but it seems like they at least try to make it a bit easier on hunters.

Комментарий от 169103

Noticed that no one has mentioned this :

"Your exotic fighting style has caught your opponent by surprise"...then your opponent falls off with still like 60%-70% health.

Been awhile back i think the sentence might be wrong but the "exotic fighting style" is definitely there. Then she will scream something like "Where did you learn that!"

Happened whilst I was on my hunter...2hand sword not trained...so I was mashing the buttons furiously when this happened, one after another.

Комментарий от Ernst

Bugged for me as a warrior. Kept clicking the harpoon but did not get pulled over to the other drake, got three until I got to the top, where I died from fall damage.

Комментарий от Gandoron

Actually, this quest was not such a problem, considering the remarks of it being a hunter... I am BM and I managed to do it without real trouble after I understood what the clue was...

Maybe a nice thing to know: While riding a drake, you can eat in between fights... Or bandage... Or... Whatsoever to heal yourself......

Комментарий от 279616

Definately the most fun quest I've done so far in this game. I felt like a friggin superhero! :D

Комментарий от 69947

Dismiss your pet, otherwise harpoon won't work.

Комментарий от 8270

Just a quick add if you die doing this quest (like I did when it glitched and my mount disappeared) you do not need to abandon it and run back to the quest giver! Just fly to your body and resurrect yourself then eat/drink until you are ready to fight then fly to a point high enough that you can see the dragons and riders and find somewhere to land now use your harpoon to click on a dragon as it flies past and you are back in the game.

Комментарий от Moonshaft

This is completely and PERFECTLY doable on a Hunter. You have to sit and wait until they get in range of your bow and use your Serpent Sting, Explosive Shot, Steady Shot. You don't ever really need to move and melee kill any of the riders on their own drakes. Just be patient and wait for them to come to you. Don't wait too long though, because once they get a certain distance away, their health will reset.

Question... how does one turn in the quest that doesnt involve jumping off the drake and falling to your death? after i killed the 10 needed, it just flew around for a few minutes until i just took the leep of faith...

Комментарий от Bloodmistres

Hi! (This is to Help Druid's with their epic flight form)....

I just did this awesomely fun quest on my Druid...I have to say I felt like a bit of a "Tomb Raider" using the grapel to jump dragons lol.

So I read the posts on my tomtom/lightheaded quest add on. Maybe it was because I was fighting trying to complete my quest while mount skipping, but I couldn't actually see a clear way to dismount without falling to your death! I read alot of people saying "Do not dismount your dragon" it's a long fall to your death, "No Shadow Stepping" for rogues, etc etc.

So I did it my way, as im a Druid. While I did not dismount like the quest proberly intended me to. I have to say I dismounted with a little more style and class. Feeling awesomely cheerful- I decided It was worth a shot to dismount and mount again in Mid- Air!

It works a treat just let your wings do the flying for you :D

Good Luck!

Комментарий от Moklar

Not sure how it happened but somehow another player got onto my dragon and shortly after I was dropped to my death - this was on normal PvE server.

And why exactly was this rated down?

Комментарий от 317744

Best quest / most fun quest in this game period.

Rogues: They must have fixed the killing spree fall as of 3.08 since it worked fine for me. Secondly for a neat trick use your fan of knives ability. You will see one or two that didnt hit at first fly towards your target like a homing missle; use it as a finishing blow and it will follow the enemy rider to their doom til it catches up :)

Blizzard really struggles to make unique quests that aren't bugged.

If you're doing this quest, a toon from your own alliance is able to jump onto the same dragon you're on (or vice versa).

This is cool for about five seconds (hey, I'm sharing a mount with somebody!), until they harpoon another dragon and you fall off and die.

Essentially if someone jumps over to a dragon another player is on, the first player to harpoon off lives, the other one falls off and dies on a very high mountain that is a bit of a pain to return to for your corpse -- not to mention then flying back to the questgiver to get a new dragon.

Thank god I had my cold weather flying. If you didn't you'd rez, but be stuck on the side of a very steep mountain with nowhere to go but jump further and die again or hearth.

Комментарий от Tacit

Really reminds me alot of the fight in God of War.

Комментарий от webphut

After 45 minutes of going in circles failing to harpoon the few I could tab target, I ejected and just aborted quest. "out of range" and "invalid Target" is all I get when I try to use the harpoon. I watched the video, and I have not been able to successfully just harpoon myself from one to another after killing each one. I read all the forum entry's and followed all the recommendations as I am a death knight, but maybe my latency is too bad to successfully jump from one to another.
I found this quest rather annoying and boring personally.

Комментарий от Vashra

This really isn't that hard for a hunter.....

0) If you dismount, you die. Even with a cape that provides slow fall you're likely to bounce off the side of something, lose the slow fall, then splatter down the rest of the mountain.

1) I cannot speak for how this would become more difficult on a pvp server. I suppose someone could harpoon and then ride *your* drake while trying to kill you, but I'd find that unlikely. Since you can't fight on the back of a *player* mount, I'd find those attacks unlikely too.

2) Your pet, bow, and traps are all useless here. Cope.

3) The npc women/drakes will NOT usually attack you. Fly around the temple for hours if you like...they *might* very rarely get close enough to agro, but soon you'll be separated by the flight pathing and they have no ranged attacks (they do not harpoon you).

4) Put the harpoon on a hotkey. Use it on the DRAKES, not the women. It's only purpose is to pull you onto the back of a drake, and pull you off the drake and into a temple. You fight hand-to-hand.

5) Put on ASPECT OF THE BEAST - you're going to have to melee here. Period. You may as well buff your melee as much as possible. I suggest taking along melee weapons in which you are maxed for skill. There should be at least *one* by level 75....

6) You can still cast Hunter's Mark - so do - especially if you have the talent that shunts a portion of its effect to melee attacks.

7) Burn your cooldowns! Raptor, Mongoose, and Wing Clip like crazy. You'll have all the time in the world when the first kill dies to sit back on your drake and drink your mana back to full.

8) As you pick drakes to harpoon - try to pick ones above you...I kept targeting ones below me and by the time I got to kill #10 I was too low to reach the temple column with my harpoon. I needed an additional kill of a drake rider *above* me to be back into alignment.

Heal up before you harpoon the "Column Ornaments" when getting off the drake via these you take about 2700 fall damage.

QUEST NOTE:

You do NOT have to attack the Proto Drakes that are AGGRO colored (red). You have to attack the FRIENDLY colored Drakes (green).

If this is obvious to everyone else, then mod this post out, but it took me 20 minutes of frustrated clicking and staring at 'INVALID TARGET' before accidently harpooning a friendly drake. Hope this info helps someone.

Комментарий от 17233

heres a question...
when you kill them all.. how can i go back? or at least land safely.

Комментарий от 325823

This quest is stupid for hunters : /

Комментарий от 325947

Once I dismissed my pet this was easy. I am a Survival hunter, but don't have anything in melee talents.

Traps are useless (where my talents are) and you MUST dismiss your pet to use the harpoon.

I was able to kill my first few jumping over and using Raptor Strike & Mongoose Strike. Then I realized I could pick them off with my bow. If you don't engage for a while it flings you off (thank god for Snowfall Lager), but you can fly back to the top and jump on another drake. I killed 6 of my ten with my bow! The hardest part of that was finding one in range long enough to kill them - I had to switch off a few times to different drakes (most of which I had already killed the rider!).

Комментарий от batmanftw

You fly around and truck-stick people off their mounts like Bear Gryllz + Al Bundy.

Комментарий от 327014

I agree with this details but one thing that not mentioned is...you will be starting at a lower elevation than the column ornament. So one way to make sure you are in closer range to the ornament is to make sure you harpoon and jump to a drake at a higher level or after you have done your ten kills..continue to kill higher level (in height) drakes and get in range to the column.

As a holy priest this is super easy for me. PW:Sheild, 1 Holy Fire and 2 Smite mixed with a SW:Pain and your opponent is down.

Комментарий от 318840

Pretty much, this quest is AWFUL for marks/b.m. hunters who kill using ranged equipt. I would suggest raptor strike and attack, along with explosive trap, it'll help. Make sure you have full health each time you attack.

Комментарий от Darkprodigy

Extremely fun quest, I actually killed about 30 drakes on my trip around :P. I wish this were a daily because then I would be motivated to actually do my dailies everyday.

Also this reminds me of the Legend of Zelda games, using the grappling hook to solve the numerous puzzles throughout the game.

Hunters, it seems that I have found a glorious bug.

I was very confused at first, I had aspect of the monkey up, considering I was meleeing, but I found I couldn't hop proto-dragons when I had it up. So I'd take monkey down and then hop, then put it back up. When I put it back up, the mob instantly died as soon as I hit it.

Good luck. :]

Комментарий от 290244

Just like to state that I did this as an 80 BM hunter in meh gear, only ever used a spare healing potion from lvl 45, had no problem. Didn't use a trap. So I don't know it's changed, but it was easy as hell for me.

Комментарий от 238959

What's terrible is I started it w/o reading this and I'm a hunter. It's bad enough that, since I didn't dismiss my pet, there was no way to successfully attack. What's worse is that there's no way to end the stupid ride! No "return to base" button. No way to harpoon a column successfully. Finally just hearthstoned from the back of my dragon. Truly annoying and more abysmal programming from Blizzaard.

Комментарий от 340516

If you're doing this quest, a toon from your own alliance is able to jump onto the same dragon you're on (or vice versa).

Thank god I had my cold weather flying. If you didn't you'd rez, but be stuck on the side of a very steep mountain with nowhere to go but jump further and die again or hearth.

This might be what happened to me. Thought I could go savely afk but when I came back, my toon whas quite dead. When I checked the combatlog ther were no attacks from anyone, just falldamage.
But: You don't have to get a new drake from the questgiver. Just fly up (I think without cw flying you can't even get to this quest) to the top, harpoon the next drake and finish one of the coolest quests in this game.

Just did this and accidentally 'pooned an alliance on a drake. It would not let me attack her. She proceeded to harpoon to a column and the drake stopped flying and i fell to my death. So make sure the drake you are harpooning to isnt occupied by another player.

Комментарий от AzureusPT

I dont know if this quest has been changed since last patch, but it was rather easy as hunter BM. The first anoying part was that if you have your pet by your side, you need to dismiss it in order to be able to harpoon the drakes.

Once in close combat, some NPCs died rather quickly. I dont really know what you need, but I got several times a message like "Your exotic combat skills unballance the Drakerider" (or something like that) and the Drakerider just falls. Sometimes it happened within the second or third hit and sometimes I had to kill em all, but it was quite easy.

Комментарий от Ro0ni

This quest is THE quest of the year, hands down.
I've never had so much fun doing a quest, just pure amusement.

Комментарий от 343539

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think you can range attack Drakeriders that are on another Proto-Drake and kill them before jumping, which would make it actually easier for ranged classes. I'm not sure because I did this after I was done with the 10 mobs but I belive it should work before too.

Комментарий от fmneto

Easy as proverbial pie.

Did it as a BM hunter. Dismissed the pet, got onto the drake. As soon as I got to the summit, i began wearing down the other riders with the usual hunter stuff - Arcane Shots, Concussive Shots, etc. After that, jumped onto their drake and finished the job.

Комментарий от tarunloko

For hunters its noted that you can Feign Death after you jump on another drake
you will still stand up and ride behind the other rider who will not attack you

Комментарий от Deren

Did this quest on my hunter with abysmal melee weapon skills. Swapped to Aspect of the Beast and every so often got this message:

Sophera's exotic fighting technique throws the Drakerider off-balance.

The npc's would remark:

You fight like a beast! (or)
What the -- ? (or)
Where did you learn that ?

Afterwards they would fall off as if I had killed them. it was a random proc with Aspect of the Beast.

Комментарий от 25769

Ok, so.. How do you get off these things without dying?

Комментарий от Rankkor

no doubt about it, THE BEST QUEST EVER!

blizz, PLEASE make this a daylie quest PLEASE

I need to do this again :)

I dunno why plp complain so much about bugs, I did it and it had no bugs, 4 of my friends did it and they didn't had any bugs.

nobody can deny the fact that riding a dragon, arround a temple that sits in a 10-mile high mountain, fighting dragon riders ON THEIR DRAGONS, and jumping from dragon to dragon untill they all die, has got to be the best and most satisfactory experience one can get in an RPG.

come on, whoever desinged this quest, you deserve a medal, and a fat raise in salary.

Комментарий от 175534

If you're a HUNTER, make sure to get your weapon skill high enough, as this quest requires melee. You may be able to get a few shots off on your target prior to jumping onto their drake, but once you harpoon to their drake, you must fight in melee.

Комментарий от Eximius

I did this as a Survival hunter and decided i'd try a macro to try and help me.
/tar Hyldsmeet Proto
/use Hyldnir Harpoon
/tar Hyldsmeet Drake
/cast Explosive Shot

Now, most of the time this would harpoon me to a different drake and while flying i'd shoot the rider.

Sometimes i'd target a nearby rider and crit him and he'd die, crediting me with the kill.

But one thing for sure, made this quest a lot easier for myself as a hunter.

-Also, to leave, just type /target column then /use Hyldnir Harpoon or click the icon - found it easier than trying to click.

Good luck!

Posting this in reply to put it near the top:
If you start drinking while out of combat and riding on the drake, you can literally do anything you want and you wont lose the buff. Deal damage, take damage, cast spells, switch mounts, whatever; you basically get a free 500 mp5 when you do this quest.

If you've already begun this quest, but something happens where you have to go back and finish it another time (my internet crashed for me, by the time it came back i had other things i had to do and hearthed out...) do you have to drop the quest to get on another drake? Is there anyone you can talk to in the village to get you back on a drake without having to start over?

Комментарий от 364120

This has got to be one the dumbest quests Blizzard has ever come up with. I've done this before with melee and never had a problem. As a Hunter, it was a complete pain in the ass and took longer than usual. The "exotic fighting style" was interesting but 4 times I was instantly knocked off the proto-drake when using the harpoon. Once waiting for another drake to circle around to grab onto.

It's an interesting quest, but I really think Blizzard didn't think it through for all classes.

Комментарий от 244023

One saving tip I fell from the drake But I was able to use my Flying carpet to rise to the lvl of the drakes and harpooned one from the carpet and resumed the quest.

Its important to try to jump to a close drake and then jump up from drake to drake to reach the top.

It was a nice fight but confusing not the ussual quest

Комментарий от mojojojo101

Potentialy the MOST annoying quets as a feral druid, cant be in forms, cant drink, low wep skills... fcking annoying

Комментарий от 378958

I don't see how this quest is enjoyable at all. My harpoon worked 1/4 the time. I kept getting constant invalid targets, spell not ready, an incomplete shot, or just no reaction. I couldn't even target a drake then use the harpoon? Ridiculous. There'd be no reaction. I'd have to use the harpoon and aim to a drake, which was damn hard cuz my drake took up half the screen so i had to zoom in to 1st-person.

Unexplained bugs/bad features aside, this quest is mediocre.

However, i did knock off a Hordie who was doing it, so that made it worth it.

Комментарий от 17411

Be careful if your latency is bad while doing this, on top of the normal extreme bugginess you might end up with your harpoon catching on nothing and your drake still disappearing, leaving you to fall to your death and spend 10 minutes getting back to the action.

Комментарий от rednas3636

turned out to the most enervating quest i ever did

Комментарий от 327123

This quest seems designed to screw hunters, especially 78 hunters. Pet not allowed, lower level than mobs, Traps not allowed, Ranged attacks not allowed = dead hunter. Give us a break Blizz. This was a fun quest on my other five 80's, but painful, if not impossible on a 78 hunter.

Everything about a hunter is designed to avoid melee. Blizz continues to buff hunter methods to get out of melee. Mail armor is a joke. I'll take boomkin armor or even warlock armor over the crappy mail. One step below plate, but it's totally worthless. Hunter melee attacks are a joke as well. No hunter wants to melee, it's ok to buff hunter's melee Blizz. A factor of 3-5 X would not be unreasonable. I'd still be at 20% health after each fight with weak-ass bandages our only means of health recovery.

If you want to make a close combat quest Blizz, you have to compensate hunters in some way.

Комментарий от 367828

Anti-Melee tip.

When you're on your first drake, swing with your harpoon to the next, kill the mob. Then, you target your own drake (without fighter on it.) and use your harpoon. That bug makes you able to turn all the way around. Shoot on nearby fighters with spells, and if they get too far away, use your harpoon on their drake, and then you got a clearly advantage in the melee fight.

umm.. this quest sucks

Комментарий от Rabz

It is possible to eat, use bandages, etc on a drake as long as you aren't in combat.

Комментарий от boneheadmike

Worst quest in all of wow. Yes, I dismissed my pet. Yes, I'm targetting the drakes, not the riders. Nevertheless, the harpoon seems to only work on drakes occupied by other PCs. So I get to hitch a ride with them until they harpoon another drake, and I fall to my death. Luckily, my body landed on an un-walkable ledge, so when I rez'd I immediately fell to my death again.

And if you ever want a shoulder enchant (Sons of Hodir rep required), you can't simply skip this bug-ridden fiasco, since it's part of the chain necessary to become neutral with them. Horrible, horrible quest.

Комментарий от 356220

Fun quest. Wait for someone to kill their rider then harpon to their drake. You'll be placed in the saddle with the other player behind you. From my experience, the passenger can't use their harpon to get away (someone did it to me, but payback was bitter sweet). You then harpon to another drake and watch as the passenger falls to their death.

As a side note, you can harpon to your current drake after you kill the rider and take their seat (saddle). This will prevent anyone from killing you. However, if they do harpon to your drake while your in the saddle....they've signed their own death sentence.

As a level 78 Survival Hunter I found the best way to do this quest to just shoot them from my Drake. If they got too far behind, or too far ahead, I launched myself onto their Drake and was able to kill them with my DoTs on them.

Комментарий от mrdummy

1. Hunters have hard time because melee weakness, no pet support, missing spirit bond, but....

2. You can shoot when mobs are in range
3. You can use Hunters Mark
4. You can just sit here and wait for your health recover
5. Drink potions
6. When health of mob is low, harpoon to him and kick with Mongoose Bite and Raptor Strike

It's possible you kick him off the seat, before he die.
No big problem, but it takes more time to complete it...

Wait! I discovered something.
When you harpoon for first time, you're at the back on the drake.
After kicking off in melee, harpoon again, but on same/your drake where you're sitting at. You move now to the front seat.
At front seat, you can now move freely around... thus shoot at enemies in the air. Hunters can now kill faster them.
But i have not tested the credit for ranged attacks. You may check it for me.

Done? Dont jump off...!

Two main things to watch out for:
1. If an opposing faction player jumps on to your drake, you'll end up falling to your death.
2. If you have ridiculous lag issues like myself and end up shooting a harpoon to a drake and the length becomes too long, you'll fall to your death.

My tips are:
-Keep moving from drake to drake (not as much if you're ranged obviously)
-Target the drakes closest to you, if you have to wait, wait. You won't be kicked off your drake for being on it forever.
-At the end of the quest there are little bulbs on the outside of the temple, target one close to you and fire your harpoon, you'll get shot up to the temple (Beware you will take some fall damage so if you need to bandage/pot/heal).
-Enjoy the quest, it is truly spectacular! =)

I find that sometimes it glitches when you try to jump onto a new drake. What it's done to me (twice now) is when I click the button to grab another drake the chain goes out and i don't move, then i jump off my drake and fall to my death.

Комментарий от 450213

After a bout of frustration I regretfully abandoned this quest. I have know idea how to get it back. Please help! Thorim won't talk to me and the previous quest giver(the crone) seems equally useless. I really want to quest chain back.

Priests, don't bother using your shadowfiend to mana back up. He sits there doing nothing while the riders pummel you.

Комментарий от SandmanXC

Very important! You can eat and drink while riding the drake.

Комментарий от 5015

as any type of warlock, especially affliction, this is a very good way to train your weapon skills. buff yourself with fel armour to ensure consistent health regen, put a corruption on your enemy, and wail away with a weapon of choice, preferably a low-level white weapon. come back 10 minutes later and change to the next target, easy

Rogues: DONT USE KILLING SPREE

Комментарий от Warluckey1

a little tip: If another (Idiot!) player jumps on your mount and then of it, it gets dismissed and u will die!...unless u got slowfall or something ofc

Great thing that really helped my hunter was that when u have killed one, melee style, u can target the dragon u are currently riding on and harpoon it again. Now u can turn around on the drake and shoot ppl behind u too!

Комментарий от 458516

I could not shoot out one of the ornaments. I finally figured that if I kept killing dragonriders on dragons higher than myself I would end up closer to the ornament. I finally was able to shoot one out.

Комментарий от Joejoe

Tip for Hunters doing this quest. You don't have to fight them in melee combat.

With Hawk Eye (+6 yard range), I was able to shoot the riders from the edge of the platform up top, and did not even have to fly around on the proto-drakes. I actually dropped down just below the concrete edge of the top platform, onto one of the snowy slopes below, and just shot the drake-riders as they flew past. It may even be possible without the extra range from hawk eye, but that definitely makes it easier.

Комментарий от 450087

I tried it on my hunter, I kept making them fall off their drakes, which I guess doesn't count as killing them? I've done it to about 20 of them so far, still 0/10 defeated. All hunters can do is make them fall with their "Exotic fighting technique", so I have no clue how I'm going to do this one..

Комментарий от Softcore

i just did this on my hunter, i'd grip myself to their drake then just spam raptor strike and wingclip, usually they fell off after a few swings and i got credit for a kill, and the odd one i had to slowly melee to death

Комментарий от 453835

It should be noted, and my proto-drake could have been bugged, that after killing 10 riders I was not taken to Thorim and dismounting causes you to plummet through the air. Luckily I am a pali and was able to bubble and not die from the fall. Is there some trick to this? Or was my drake just bugged?

Комментарий от skullcrasher

Soloed as 77 BM hunter with horrible weapon skills......

Here is how to do it

Find a 79 mob since they are easier to hit and shoot it with serpent sting and what ever else you can get off before its out of range of shooting. Now jump on it's mount and melee till it falls off "because of the exotic thing" and you will get credit for the kill doing this way =)

Bring food so you do not have to wait to regen

Hope this helps the rest of the hunters out there

Комментарий от laughingnome

How to dismount:

Once you are done, look above you at the columns. Each one has a 'ornament', you need to click on one and harpoon it. You will be safely taken to the top of the tower. On my 5th toon to do this quest, I finally figured it out! (previously I would use my hearth)

Комментарий от 244427

This is the most ANNOYING quest i've ever tried.. Im hunter, so i have to use mongoose bite, and raptor strike all the time.. But even if i do, i cant find the next dragon to jump to, and when i do, i fall off, down, and die.. This is really ^&*!ty!

Now im finish with it.. I fell down 4 fcuking times.. This i really crappy.. ohh god!

Комментарий от 53121

If you harpoon the drakes that are in front of you, your drake will stop and drop you. You need to harpoon those behind you.

Комментарий от Jerodast

I just don't understand how there isn't a daily version of this. And perhaps a PvP version as well :) They would be the most popular dailies in the game!

Комментарий от jbwest

As has been said, this is a terrible quest for a hunter. I came into it with a staff skill of about 30, so i couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I found a good technique by kill 8 or 9, if you hit one on another drake with a range attack, then grapple over and keep swinging at it, your "exotic" fighting skill would knock it off and you'd get credit.

Also, don't make the mistake of grappling to Column Ornament with low health. You will take fall damage from grappling to the ledge. I died after finishing the quest and taking 2500 hp worth of fall damage.

Worst quest in the game for a hunter, imo.

Комментарий от 468069

I'm doing this quest right now on my priest and I'm useing my DoT and staff and wand np super easy and can heal yourself, have fun its a blast. Great job Blizzard

Комментарий от 434952

Blizzard have again thinked this?

How a BM lvl 78 hunter can do this without this !@#$ing quest taking 30 mins?

Комментарий от OhTeeSee

Be careful if others are doing this quest at the same time. Besides being able to harpoon the drakes of opposing factions (resulting in PvP combat), you must make sure you do not harpoon a riderless drake, these are the ones that had riders on them before, and will despawn shortly.

Комментарий от 172286

I believe this has recently been made easier for hunters.

I went back to have a second bash at this after getting frustrated the first time round. Now, it seems that so long as you engage them for a certain amount of time, an emote comes up saying '*Player*'s exotic fighting style throws the Drakerider off-balance'. I'm not fully skilled up with the weapons I'm using at the moment, so they can't have been at less than 75% health when they fell.

Комментарий от 493664

Did this quest today as a level 80 surv hunter. Extremely easy. Simply used raptor strike and mongoose bite. Then again my gear is a little under the average ToC gear. (4600 gearscore addon) it took me 3-10 strikes to kill a rider and I did not have to stop for health or use any bandages. It was overly simple but I figure this is mostly due to a better geared character.

Комментарий от 452994

Wasn't bad for me as a fire mage.

Living Bomb, Fire Blast, Blast Wave, Dragon's Breath, and the targets health was way down.
Then Scorch or Frost Fire, if Fire Blast wasn't ready yet. When I hit Hot Streak, the instant Pyroblast pretty much finsihed it.

Комментарий от steve2470

I had no trouble at all killing the other riders and stealing their mounts.

The REAL trouble came when I had to focus my camera long enough to select a column ornament and use the harpoon to exit. I could not figure out why I had so much trouble.

Finally, I figured out I had to adjust my camera settings to ALL manual. Then, the camera would not auto pivot and auto adjust any more. Once I did that, exiting this quest was easy.

Hope this tip saves someone else some trouble.

Комментарий от 424182

how do you get off i have been going round and round nothing. lol wish i could die and fall can't do that eather. Had to log off that seemed to fix it

Комментарий от Asylu

This was the hardest, but most interesting, quest that I have done yet.

I have to say that it is imbalanced for hunters, but there are ways around that. If you can target the riders before you jump mounts, just pop a Serpent Sting and then go over. Doing this I only had to kill 1 rider outright, the rest fell off. Maybe it was luck, but either way it'll make the quest easier.

Good luck and Happy Hunting!

Комментарий от 532081

Easy as a SV hunter. Just raptor strike and mongoose bite. :)

One of the coolest quests i've ever done. :o

How the hell are you ment to get off when your done without dying

Комментарий от healingenzo

80 DK back-filling Quests, the 10 kills were 2-3 circuits. Very easy. BUT, I had no control over the flight & the ornaments are ALWAYS out of range. After abour 20-30 circuits I did exit vehicle & died, just to end the round & round.

HOW DO YOU GET IN RANGE ? Second time I had to do this.

Комментарий от 392562

If you happen to have done the quest "This Just In: Fire Still Hot!" and if you didn't vendor "The Fire Extinguisher" AND if you happen to have only 1 weapon skill (probably Hunters), then be sure to bring The Fire Extinguisher with you. Since it's no considered any type of weapon, you will be able to melee attack things as if you had maxed weapon skill.

Комментарий от Michie

This quest is still buggy as sin. I dropped 3 times trying to hop to a drake. Didn't realize when you fly as a ghost mounted that you don't rez as a ghost either.. One of my deaths was to the npc you fight so I was dead in mid air.

Комментарий от Ashtaroth

A macro that i found very useful for this was quest was /target Column after i finished, simply use that macro/command and once you have the column targeted spam the harpoon till you're off the drake, hope that helps.

Комментарий от 410692

Ahhh, a very nice quest. Another one that was fun (and similar) is this: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13003. Hodir's Spear I recommend removing armor ('cept for items with no durability, i.e. Necklaces and Trinkets), but definitely not for this one. Sorry guys, you'll have to fall to your death a couple times, and get damaged. Fortunately, these girls don't hit very hard. Easy for melee classes, and even for casters.

I play druids, and always forget to root, but it doesn't matter for non-elites leather and up usually, and not for the drakeriders either. Hard for hunters, depending on what their spec is (keep your skill up with weapons other than guns!). Casters that can heal should have no trouble, warlocks can life drain... fairly easy quest, very fun, and opens up some great quests after this. Watch behind you and target the ones coming from behind, much easier than waiting to get in range of those in front.

Комментарий от Lissi

I had a problem with not being able to dismount. I kept getting "Out of range" when I targeted the column ornaments. It wasn't until I jumped onto another drake that was a bit higher that I was able to dismount safely.

Комментарий от 551609

If you're a hunter doing this quest, read the following.

Right of the bat I'm gonna have to say that this quest must've been designed with little thought of hunters. However! I found that a combination of tricks made this rather easy.
First of, activate Aspect of the beast for the 10% increased melee attackpower.
Secondly equip your http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39889 which you got from Zul'Drak. You kept it I know you did, who can say no to a trinket?
Thirdly, grapple onto a dragon and start pummeling Raptor Strike, then Mongoose Bite in that order, why? Because Raptor Strike applies it effect on the next melee hit.

If you need it, you can grapple back up to "Column Ornament" and take a break on the ledge before grappling back down.
Using this technique I was able to get 4-5 of them in a go before I simply popped a runic health potion. Very frustrating quest at first, then you realize this and it got easy. Oh, and btw, that trinket did about 20% of my total damage on 10 fights during this quest.
Happy hunting!

Комментарий от Thraze

Absolutely the most epic quest in the game. As first post described.

Комментарий от 558768

Actually, as a hunter there is no need to use the harpoon at all. You can simply target the riders and shoot them of the dragons using ranged weapon only. You get credit for the kill anyway. It's a bit tricky since they go out of range fast, but I still found it alot easier to use ranged attacks than jumping on them and using melee. Don't know if this works for all ranged classes.

Комментарий от Maxerz

Most epic quest in WoW by far.

Комментарий от Archadae

Is it repeatable somehow?

Комментарий от Paegan

Worse designed quest in the game. It's buggy even for melee classes - gotta love spearing a drake, then falling to your death when it goes out of range before you get on it.

I can just imagine them testing this, realising that it was buggy and going to be a pain for certain classes to complete, then leaving it anyway because omg it's such a coooooool idea /rolleyes

Комментарий от Elathil

For druids, you cannot shift form during this quest. I ended up doing this in my resto spec instead of my feral spec because of this. They were simply hitting me faster than I was hitting them in caster form. (On that note, it is possible to switch specs while riding the drakes)

Комментарий от 41236

If anyone has a hard time with this quest and you are a ranged dps class. You can target the riders and take them down a bit before jumping on to there drake. I did this with a mage and even though we have a ton of spells that will hit them I wanted to see if you can kill them but not jumping on to there drake and you can. It's just kind of hard because of the ranges fluctuates so fast and they fly behind you.

Easily one of the top three quests in the game!

Комментарий от Fireroflmage

probably one of the coolest quests i've ever done. it reminds me of a boss battle on the legend of zelda. harpooning in between drakes, arcane barraging riders. woo, its epic! a definate must if ur questing in storm peaks.

Комментарий от Asclepius99

W T F. this sucks as a hunter. worst part is if you die your screwed! I fell and my corpse landed on a steep slope. I tried to rez in the best spot available hoping I wouldnt slide off... but of course I slide off and fall to my death again. I go to try to rez again and my corpse is on the steep mtn side with no ledges in rezing distance! wtf. rez, fall. die. rez fall die. after finally dying so that i could fall alllllll the way to the bottom, was I able to mount and continue this quest.

Edit. Well, if your a hunter, as long as you read the comments here first the quest should be easier and a bit fun.

Tips for hunters:
*harpoon is in your bag
1 Level your polearm skill up first !
2 Be sure your mongoose and Raptor strike are of the highest rank
3 Put these 2 abilities as your 2 main hot keys and start pressing them right when you land on the proto-drake
(must target drake not drakerider with harpoon to jump to another drake)
4 *Create a 'Save' in your Equipment manager that equips Nothing so you can undress quickly if your about to die b/c you weren't prepared.
(have this on an alt but didnt have one for hunter lol)
5 If you die, try to rez where you have a clear fall to the bottom so you don't have to waste a lot of time flying back to your body (unless your lucky and have a good lookin legde to rez on)
6, Randomly, your raptor or mongoose abilities will throw the drakerider off for you since our melee is pathetic. It may happen on the 1st hit, or the 15th. (I was down to 3k hp on one b/c it never threw him off.)
7. To get OFF drake: target a column ornament and harpoon it. ( they look like fancy outdoor light fixtures on the columns)
8. I suggest listening to his sentimental story (which knocked me to 79 woot!) then flying to the next quest Mending Fences Возобновление старых связей , or porting... because it's a loooong way down =P

It is now possible to shapeshift while you are mounted upon the dragons during this quest, makes it quite a bit more enjoyable for Feral Druids now.

Комментарий от 539192

Often this drakes will fly close to you, and there is your change just shoot them down with some spells fast. if they are getting to far away just use the harpoon to jump on the back of the drake and kill them, as easy as that.

Комментарий от aenuu

When I attempted to do this quest on my 79 hunter, my polearm skill was about 80 points shy of max skill. My gear had come from quest gear only, no enchants, and it was too difficult to pull the quest off as it seemed to normally play out.

After falling to my death one time I decided to try the method of shooting the targest as I rode by them. And though I could get off a shot or two, I couldn't finish them off - not even close.

I harpooned onto the temple place up on top. Ate to get my health back and then found a ledge to stand on just off the side of the temple floor. From there, I shot at least 3 shots at the mobs who passed close by, THEN harpooned to them and meleed them down. After a kill, I would harpoon back to the temple, eat for health if needed, and then go after another one.

So while there are likely quite a few hunters out there than could melee this as intended... if you find your gear and weapon skill is lacking as mine was, this is one method that is very simple though much more time consuming than the others.

Комментарий от rottenzombie

With the onset of patch 4.0, this quest has been made harder for the hunters, again.

Now that aspect of the beast and mongoose bite have both been removed from the game, good luck trying to melee this one out as a hunter. The time consuming, ranged approach seems to be the only way.

Комментарий от 683109

Hunter 4.0: Scatter shot / Deterrence / Raptor / First aid - Had to jump to the column ever 2-3 times to fully heal

Комментарий от Zesha

this is retardedly hard now with the new patch for hunters, no aspect of the monkey to dodge and n mongoose :(

EDIT: after much search and dieing i came over this nifty litle trick. start off by standing on one of the clifts close to where the riders circle around, and either try and nuke one of the mobs down asap or in my case, just shot him with a serpent sting, target the dragon and use the spear, gotta be fast tho and targeting the rider wasnt too easy either. when u got first rider down it gets easier, wait for some of the others to get close enough to use ur bow and nuke them down with sting and arcane shots, rinse and repeat. IMO blizzard should do a serious overhaul on this quest after patch since they removed hunters 2 abilites in closecombat and is now only stuck with 1, raptor strike

Комментарий от 336610

Only way for BM Hunter to do it is looooooooooooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttsssssssssssssssss of patience. No real melee abilities means they hit you for more than you hit them, and you cannot have your pet out.

The only thing you can realistically do is wait for one to come into range, hit them as fast as you can and hope they stay in range long enough. DoT helps. It took me close to an hour and 3 deaths to get this done.

Комментарий от Noctis

Unsure as to when this change occurred, but for any hunters who hadn't done this chain due to the inability to pew pew, I was comfortably able to blast them at point blank off their drakes.

Комментарий от 696034

It maybe just me but i don't really see what the fuss was about?

I'm a lvl 79 hunter. No special gear really. Took about 5-7 mins to complete. Picked up quest and rode on the drake. Once there, harpoon to other drakes. Ranged attack only (despite being sat at arms length). Used ARCANE SHOT over and over. Normally 4 shots to kill. By then focus has gone anyway.

Then wait 15 secs for focus to refill then harpoon to next drake. And repeat.

Once all killed, look to the left. On the pillars of the temple are lights, harpoon one and u swing across to the temple. Job Done.

Комментарий от 803008

Hunters can use bows now. Minimum distance for ranged weapons is ignored for this quest. This makes the quest super-easy (but still fun, imo). Please rate "+" if you play a hunter and can confirm what I say.

Druids: You CAN shapeshift while doing this quest. Bartender hid my form bar because technically you're in a vehicle, but don't let it lie to you. No need to try and be a Boomkin even if you're a Feral druid. ;)

Комментарий от 291365

This quest is bugged 4-20-11: you can't target any of the riders to use the harpoon. They come up either as "Invalid Target" or "Target is out of range." You can target the pillars on the Temple to get off your drake. However, a post above mentions targeting a rider to get onto her drake to fight. This also does not work now.

Note about hunter
After die trying to hit the riders with the arpoon, I use lightheaded to read coments here. Thanks (bow).
I have to add how work for me: can not eat, can use shoot or melee, can bandage, can drink potions to heal, can shoot from your drack mounted to another rider if is below you. If happend you use arpoon to move to below drack cant shoot upper riders, so move to another drack up to shoot from.

Комментарий от 931186

Just finished this as MM Hunter, was able to range dmg each rider either to death or so close that I could jump on a give one raptor strike and one stun shot to beat them. Only trick was the different speeds they're all traveling, so sometimes it made sense to harpoon over to get the last few dmg points, but if they're traveling roughly your speed you can take 'em with a few arcane and a Chimera. And since the cooldown of the harpoon is pretty quick, when you killed ten and you're too low to get the sconces, just harp to a higher one, wait a sec, and harp to the sconce.

Even though you can range kill, hard to aim/time right and it's still an intense quest, definitely got my blood pumping!

BTW, didn't have to eat once, was able to range kill/dmg each one to the point where harpooning over to finish 'em was no prob.

Комментарий от 959832

The use of harpoon after I killed the 10 riders tricked me. Target the small Column Ornaments on the large columns and get yourself up to the top platform so you can turn in the quest.

Комментарий от 945326

So don't be like me, flying around and around the stupid thing trying to figure out how to get to the top (after you've defeated your 10 riders) because your harpoon is always out-of-range for the ornaments. (By the way, the "ornaments" aren't the big glowing globe thingies. They look like small bust statues and they're all between the big globe thingies.)

Just use your harpoon on another drake that's flying higher than you are. If you're still not in range, kill that rider and harpoon another one even higher.

Of course, if you're smart (not like me) you'll make it a point to make sure the last of your 10 riders to defeat is on a drake at the top of the column.

Комментарий от Sagramala

I'd just like to point out that if you do get glitched out, for example, when you click on one of the other drakes to transfer over to it, and get into a situation to where you are falling to your doom (Not me, I'm a druid so I just pop my bat form. ;P), after you recover your body you can stand on one of the peaks around the Temple of Storms, wait for the right moment, and launch yourself back onto a proto-drake. Beats running back to the village just to reacquire a mount.

Easily the most enjoyable and awesome quest in the game. Every time I get to this quest with a new character (about 5-6 new ones per expansion), I rejoice and believe again in the fun this game has to offer. Absolutely fantastic.

Комментарий от 1146241

As I was launching from one proto-drake to another, my vehicle glitched up, and I got dismounted.

Good thing I'm a druid!

What I noticed, though, was that even in flight form, the proto-drake riders were still targetable. If you are a druid (or if you have a ranged ability and are doing this quest during Halloween when you have the instant mount broom) you can fly a little bit above the riders, target them, shift out of flight form, moonfire/sunfire and quickly shift back to flight form. Rinse and repeat ten times to finish the quest a lot faster than doing it the "proper" way.

If you're not a druid, though, make sure that you are really close to the other proto-drake riders when you use your harpoon because if they fly out of range while you're casting you'll get dismounted.

Комментарий от MonsterMan37

If you die, you don't have to go all the way back to where you got the quest, just land near the top & use the harpoon to latch onto another drake & continue.

Комментарий от Adrelle

I'm not sure what to do here anymore. I've completed this on alts.

When I accept the quest I'm flown to the quest zone, but there are no mobs on the back of the drakes? I've tried reloading, dropping quest and picking back up and still no luck.

If you are a Feral Druid, you want to be sure you know how to attack without being Feral, since you cannot change form when on the drakes.

Комментарий от ArtemisSnuff

I flew around and around that stupid mountain for 20 minutes never seeing another drakerider. I hopped around forever bored to tears by the inability to complete this quest.

The only thing that helped spawn ONE drakerider was reloading the UI with /rl. and even then it would spawn 1, and then I could be flying around in circles forever not finding another.

Комментарий от jane42

I found a way to work around the bug to complete this a little bit faster, although still slowly.

Mount your personal mount and sit stationary in the flow of drakes until you see a drake with a rider. Harpoon that drake, knock off the rider, and then hop drakes back to Thorim's platform. Mount your personal mount again and repeat.

It still took me a little while to do it but not hours or days. I would find a mounted drake every two or three minutes. It's much easier to find them by watching them go by than by drake-hopping.

Комментарий от khaldac

Hmm, using my personal mount didn't work for me. All I got were messages saying I was mounted when I tried to use the harpoon. What did work was looking for the faster flying drakes. They are usually at the top of the pack and circle the mountain more quickly, allowing you to find a mounted drake faster. Took me about 10 mins to finish the quest, even with another playing doing it at the same time.

As of 6.0.3 this quest is bugged. No riders spawn on the drakes and /target Hyldsmeet Drakerider doesn't work. I am hoping Blizz will fix this in 6.1 on Feb. 22, 2015. Also none of these comments helped... /reload-ing didnt help and no matter how long i waited no riders spawned :-(

It seems like it can still be completed as of March 6th, 2015, albeit very slowly.

It looks like only one rider spawns each time, so what i did was stay put on the platform, waited for the one rider to pass by, jump on the drake it's on, kill the rider, then use the Hyldsnir Harpoon to work my way backwards, hopping from one drake to the next.

I did try just using my personal mount on the platform Thorim is in, and circle around in the opposite direction, so it doesn't matter if you're on the drakes, or if you're on the platform.

After flying around the temple many times on different days and not finding a single rider to target, I came back today to give it another go... and it worked! There were many riders and I was able to complete the quest.

I can not get the riders to spawn. anyone have any ideas?

While at first I saw few other riders, launching to drakes in front of me caught me up to some. However, on the last rider kill, the harpoon failed and I fell. A very, very long way. /sigh

So just keep going from drake to drake and eventually you should find riders. Also, if dismounted, after flying back up there, you can just harpoon nearest drake, occupied or not.

This is pretty dumb but once finished I couldn't figure out how to dismount. I flew around that platform for several minutes before I looked up and saw the hooks on the pillars. I harpooned one and was off. That was one frustrating quest! But fun once I figured out all the steps. Thanks for the videos or I'd still be up there circling the platform! O.o

Just did this as a warlock. With my dot and strikes I had no trouble killing the riders. You must target the drakes not the riders and then use the harpoon to go to the rider and kill it. When you are done look for drakes higher and closer to the ornaments or you will find yourself out of range forever. If you leave vehicle you will fall to your death. You can move from drake to drake without killing its rider in order to get higher and close enough to the ornaments.

I just completed this quest as a Level 109 Paladin (yeah, I know. I'm working on achievements for zones/quests I missed.)

Anyway, here are a few notes:

/tar does not seem to work. I could target riders using /tar, but then the harpoon wouldn't work against them. It worked only when I clicked on the individual riders and flew within range. From there, as you may imagine, it was easy for me to dismount them with a single hit. To dismount, there are small orbs on the columns to the left (not the large orbs that separate columns). I clicked on one ahead of me and triggered the harpoon, and was pulled to the outer edge of the tower platform. I sustained a bit of damage from the landing, but nothing significant.

I hope that helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can add to help out.

There's basically no way to avoid falling to your death at the end of the quest so might as well just dismount and die and get it over with.
