Be careful that, once you take this quest, you have to turn toward the runway and get the quests from each NPC on his mount. Once you defeat him in the "race" quest, then go back to Ja'y Nosliw to complete the quest and go the next step.

Commento di Arcticwolf

I highly reccomend doing all six races naked as if you are knocked off you will likely die, and suffer a durability hit =(

Good luck! (Also use Alt+Z and/or First Person view to see better)

You'll want to see take notice of as much as you can while racing so get rid of your on-board UI (Alt-Z) while in the air. Losing track of a racer because he was in front of you chat screen is really bad.

prereq for these 6 quests

Commento di Painreaver

You must be honored with Netherwing in order to start this quest.

The title on the quest is a tribute to the American Easy Company that did paradrops under the Normandy invasion in WW2.

Ok, now lets address how the quest works.

Unequip your gear in case you get knocked off.

Follow NPC and strafe to avoid rocks he drops. Just like avoiding the flack from the cooking quest. Dodge left, then right, etc.

Repeat.

Commento di Ormeon

Not sure, because I am starting to get Reputation with Netherwing. But do I need an "Epic" Mount for the 6 races that follow? Or can I just use Flight Form / Sup Mount?

All up this questline earns you 3200 rep... and 104g42s

As stated previously, its good to do these without your damageable gear equipped to save yourself a lot of expenses.

A good way I found to do these races is to fly directly above them with a Noggenfogger. The noggenfogger really helps to shrink the character on screen without having to zoom into first person. The npc's occasionally do u-turns and 360's so don't panic if something like that happens.

Also, you might want to check out this video or others for help as to how to easily accomplish your task.

The races before Wing Commander Mulverick can be fairly easily accomplished without a paladin friend for Crusader Aura or with a Riding Crop, although both would make things much easier. The race against Mulv is difficult without either of them but is possible. The following race against Captain Skyshatter is possible without either aswell but is very difficult. What I would suggest doing is to get a pair of boots such as Linen Boots and put Mithril Spurs on them. Also, get a pair of gloves like Heavy Linen Gloves and look for an enchanter to do Riding Skill to them. If you still have one, use Carrot on a Stick. If you haven't done the quest, it starts with this quest. One thing to note is that if you're going to kill Gahz'rilla then make sure you get the Mallet (to get the mallet, you need to kill Qiaga the Keeper for the Sacred Mallet. Take this to the Jintha'Alor altar which is located at 59, 77 in the Hinterlands. Use the Mallet at the altar and you will get the Mallet.) White/normal quality boots and gloves are good because once you're finished with them then you can give them to an alt character to help him move about the world quicker. The three of those items can indeed stack, and according to the post made on this page they will allow you to move at 414.2% flying speed. Those three items are cheap and easy to get and 2 of them can be given to an alt once you get your Skybreaker Whip.

After finishing each race you are awarded with a gold reward aswell as some Netherwing reputation. The gold reward aswell as the reputation you gain increases as you do harder races. When you beat Captain Skyshatter you're awarded a Skybreaker Whip. The Riding Crop cannot stack with the Skybreaker Whip or any other enchant/speed boosting object, as stated on this page.

Good luck on becoming the "Top Orc"!

I would suggest disabling any mods before doing these quests. I was having trouble with the NPCs disappearing mid-race, but that fixed the issue.

I did this on my Druid- Quite easy

If you are a Druid.. you could start off with a summoned mount but I highly suggest that you just do this in Swift Flight Form because you wont get Knocked off. If you are on your mount as long as you do not accidentially fly over a Skyguard and enter Combat you can always just Swicht in Flight =D

Mega easy for me, the druid =P

Also, having friends with you, might help you out, as Mulv and above casts lightning bolts/flame bolts/whatever bolts, and eventually your party members reduce your own chance of being targeted.

Commento di Archivist

The quest work like and escort quest, only the person your escorting around is also trying to kill you.

Each different pilot take a different rout around Netherwing Ledge. Your job is to stay within a certain range of them at all times (a few yards). While this is going on, they throw various things at you, any of which will dismount you if they hit. Obviously being dismounted leaves you outside of the required range, and you fail the quest (don't worry, just abandon it and try again).

There are many ways to do this quest. I have found the most leisurely way was to watch each pilot run their course until you know it, and simply stay in front of them the entire time to remove the whole dodging portion of the quest. My favorite way however is to do it as intended. Push your camera to first person, hide the UI, and get ready for one heck of a ride. When they do attack you it's easy enough to dodge, just remember the rules of racing and take the turns tighter than they do (also if they make a quick 180, they're snap back again so don't turn around).

Keep in mind as a progressive quest each pilot is faster than the previous, but I found that going 280% speed was enough to easily overtake all the final leg.

Commento di 164012

I did them all very easily. A nice trick I used was to have a friend in party with me so I can raid target the guy i'm supposed to follow. then when they move behind other objects i can still see them and follow them easily.

Commento di 329585

All the dragonmaw race quests are quite easy since the change in 3.3.

From the Patch notes of 3.3:

Knockbacks no longer dismount players. If on a flying mount, you will be knocked back a short distance before being able to resume flying.

And for 3 races I just thought I was simply awesome... :(

Commento di 525496

These quests are easy, up until the 5th rider, Commander Mulverick. It doesn't matter what items, aura's, potions you have, your not going to find this easy. The most frustrating part of the race is when he flies right over the runway (after you've been chasing him for a good while) and carries on going. If your too far behind you fail. If your too far in front, you fail. If you get hit by all his shots, you fail.

I don't want to know how hard captain skyshatter is....

Commento di Konani

The two first were indeed very easy, but when i got to Corlok the Vet... well... how to spell this out right
The guy pretty much sucked at doing what he did
-yes, indeed he hurls a number of skulls onto you, but if you keep close to him, he's hit by them himself and get stuck ing the air while trying to lag forward for a while

Mildly annoying, but i can say that up until not this line of quests haven't really been very hard on me

I don't even zoom in to 1p-view, haven't had any need to do so..

*Edit
Now, having beaten Malveric i can say this;
He's also friggin nuts
Not only does he do 180s all of the time, but whenever i get stuck in his thunderclouds, he get stuck in them too
Not only that, but he got stuck in the air more often than i did at all -i can't really say that any of the NPC's have turned out to be much of a challenge..

*Edit
Captain Skyshatter...
Well, indeed he was slightly more difficult. But since i continued to keep close to him, whenever i was hit myself, most of the meteors hit him as well, thus not all that much of a challenege anyway

So if i have any tip for you people who wish to do this line of quests; Keep your eyes on the target, keep close to them and just above them while in the air, wait for them whenever they do their U-turns

For you druids out there: although the knockback has been removed for normal mounts, Swift Flight Form HASNT! meaning if you want to try it the harder (old) way, do it in bird form!

Commento di 422399

Well, I feel foolish now. I did the first five races in druid flight form because I thought that would be easier. Only to discover that no, I was doing it the hard way!

Anyway, I can't defeat skyshatter period. He simply outruns me in 30 seconds. It's not a question of getting knocked back, even if I avoid all he shots he goes too fast. I don't see how it is possible to complete this without a 310% speed mount as none of the speed boost affect a level 80.

EDIT: I thought he was outrunning me but I was having the same problem as the poster above. He was just disappearing. I disabled all my add-ons and the flight went normally. Interesting that this bug doesn't affect flight form, only mounted.

Did anyone else notice the "Top Gun" reference? Top Gun: Top Orc; Ichman: Iceman; Mulverick: Maverick. Thank you WoW

Commento di 266775

As of 4.0 the Netherwing mount disguises also scale to 310% So doing these quests should be much easier than before.

Commento di Eclipsegirl

I would definitely recommend waiting until you have 310% flight speed. SO if that means putting off your grind for rep until you can afford this, or until you earn the Violet Proto Drake, then do so.

DO NOT get ahead of the pilot. Stay a little bit behind and above. You are supposed to follow them, so do so.

The first one (Oldie McOld) was easy.

I had to do the middle four racers twice because I lost them in a turn or a dive.
Mulverick dives near the landing platform for Dragonmaw Transporters and then turns right and rises quickly. For me, Mulverick was the worst. He is agile and the race is long. It is not over when you come to the Landing Platform for the first time.

I thought the last one (Skyshatter) was pretty easy, and short compared to Commander Mulverick.

Commento di nataliem59

At first i couldn't see any quest from the quest giver and that was really confusing as people were saying that you needed to be honored with netherwing and i of course i was honored! But then after awhile looking around the other quest givers i realised that you need to be of the rank captain to see the quests as well as being honored!

Commento di 979114

if you want to do this chain easyer use a festive holly and you wont fall of when hit with a firball or something like that

Commento di Mathiason

Anyone know what happens if NPC hits himself a bunch of times?
How many hits can you take in one flight before failing, or is it too man hits within a short period of time?
I'm lvl90 with 310 Air speed, any tips for handling Mulverick and Skybreaker?
What's a good way to avoid attacks without losing target?
I think they upgraded patch so if you take too many hits your mount stops obeying you until he makes a forced landing. So no more dismounts midair resulting in falling to death. By time regain control you'll have lost the target and failed the mission.

Commento di 1137079

You can no longer get knocked off your mount.

That does make this quest easier, but there's still the issue of how to fly. The all have different styles and their attacks, and the colourful crystals, can make them easy to lose. this isn't made any easier by the minor detail that you may well be doing this with a high-speed mount, in which case you may lose them simply by going ahead.

One of the best tactics is to stay some way behind and slightly above (you'll work out your preference) so that you can spot it if they make sudden lifts or turns.

The attacks are actually useful now that you can't be knocked off, since you can use them to track sometimes.

You will take about an hour to complete these quests. At least. And it's going to be much longer if you don't actively select them at the start to keep them circled.

Commento di Altarielle

So there's no alliance version of this quest what
