I just can't seem to complete this quest. I must have been at it at least three hours and he just keeps shooting me down. I've tried everything, flying far behind, flying far infront, flying above and below - he just seems to get me one way or another.

Can anybody post some tips?

OptimusS의 댓글

Try to fly at front of him

dynamo의 댓글

i was doing really well at this one, but the silly thing just disappeared when he got to the mines, i might have just been unlucky other then this i found dodging the bolts kinda easy, i assume (by reading the above comments) it gets harder.

wonder what the 6th dude is like

limitgenesis의 댓글

dispite fustration ive found the full proof stradegy for this guy

k all u have to do is stay above him really far up but not to far then make sure ur straightend out and use left click to look down stay at that camera angel and steer left and right and go up when u need to just watch out where he is or u might go to high
there is one trouble point near the end where he takes a drop down near that dock looking thing with the 2 elite guards so folow him down with right mouse click camera angle then straighten out and go birds eye view again.
long as u stay directly above him no probs with the bolts.

I attempted this guy at least 10 times or so before completing it. The best advice I can give you is to learn his flying path. As long as you are not chasing him he's not going to dismount you. If you stay by his side and know his turns, you can just short cut him whenever he does. If you for fall behind and have to chase him, you are most likely screwed unless he is going to turn soon.

all the flying NPC's can be bugged, meaning they will be like shades or not be there at all, as of now, Mulverick is bugged often on Emerald dream, meaning, when he works, finish off the quest fast, I still stuck on this guy, a druid can do this much easier than other classes as it can just transform into flying form and continue when knocked off the mount, unfortunally, I'm not a druid:(

Just 1-shotted this on my friend's paladin, crusader aura completely trivializes it IMO. Didn't know his course and was still able to stay ahead of him through most of it.

I just wish I knew how he dismounts me when there is no lightning nearby.

jon4009의 댓글

This guy is a big pain in the butt.

What worked for me was: stay in front of him as he flies around to the mine at the start. Use the time he wastes there to get above him and then track him from above using the arrow keys, using X and Space to go up and down as required.

As mentioned above the only tricky bit was the dive over the cliff and then up the hill beside it. Get that bit right and you are home free.

As of right now, there are many race bugs.

What I did was I stayed pretty far above him at all times and didnt even have to worry about dodging lightning until he flies straight down by the wooden dock thing. I got very lucky here though, right as he approached the "airstrip" I got hit by the very last volley, and hit the ground. I immediately mounted back up and was able to complete it. Pretty shady, but it worked for me.

Byobong7의 댓글

I had a lot of trouble with this quest until I saw some comments to try and fly above him. Also watching the video in this thread helps too. Knowing his path and flying above him seems almost crucial to doing this quest. Flying behind him and trying to dodge is tempting fate as the missiles he shoots are so random you are almost guaranteed to get hit by them.

The ONLY tricky part about flying above him is at the dock like people said, you have to be quick in following him down. Once I knew his complete path I completed it right away.

66446의 댓글

I have tried everything everyone has listed for this fight, and still cannot seem to complete it. He will either dissapear in mid-flight and auto fail or I will be hit by nothing and just randomly fall off.

My question is this: Do you really have to do this and the following captain in order to obtain a netherwing drake? or can you just continue w/ the dailys and call it even?

Trogthor의 댓글

Just a warning about this quest:

After a few tries I'd finally gotten him back to the landing strip, but he takes so long to actually land and give you the quest complete-ness, that I was killed by the numerous Dragonmaw Riders I'd aggroed.

Don't really know a way around this other than maybe kill them beforehand (although they respawn pretty quick) or keep an eye out for them (which is hard when you're focussing on him, but unless you want to almost complete it only to be killed because he takes an age to land then it's probably necessary).

65490의 댓글

The missiles are easy to avoid, almost laughably so. However, in the middle of the flight, without warning, you will suddenly fail for apparently no reason. Blizzard's programming methods of determining the distances between two airborne objects are obviously flawed... at certain angles, I'm very close to him, but it thinks I'm far away.

Paddyjack의 댓글

Be careful at the end, he is doing a final loop over the landing strip. My quest failed because I thought he was landing so I stopped.

Tip: take off your gear if you're doing this...then if you fail and die you don't have to pay repair bill.

Andicous의 댓글

Geez, that was so damn hard! Tried about 25 times, 9/10 failing becuz i was too far away -.-. If u wanna luckily end this q don`t notice the skybreakers as they leave if u fly along with Mulverick and yes, best way to complete this q is to learn his way and be a lil bit in front of him BUT high in the sky (not too high tho). Also, when he goes up to the (flayer`s) ridge be rdy (better alrdy start) to climb down. That`s the spot where i failed several times as he flies fast. And as I said the skybreakers aren`t rly a big problem if u fly away with Mulverick.

Fun fact: it takes 1:40 mins for Mulverick to to trot into position, slowly fly over the airfield strip, and actually start the race.

Mindnumbing.

Took me one whole week (playing 2h/day) to beat this guy. I tried to find all sources of information on how to win the race, some good ones I've found:

- AddOn ImprovedCamera: Increases limit of the Max Camera Distance slider in Interface Options to the very maximum possible (from 30 to 50).

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/5098/

- Youtube videos: Learning his path makes things much easier, watch it over and over:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX0yysWOtMc

- Turn off your UI: Press alt+Z to turn off your interface, so everything on the screen disappears and you can see Mulverick easier.

- Raid Mark him: Invite some guildmate or random guy to a party, so you can add a mark icon to his head. Personally I used the blue square.

- Buy a Riding Crop: If you're farming for your netherdrake, you surely have 60-100g to spend on a riding crop. It sucks that after you win this chain of quests you get a riding crop as a reward, but to beat mulverick and captain skyshatter you MUST have this, otherwise it gets close to impossible.

With the tips above, you can easily solo this guy. If you have friends, call them to be hit by his bolts instead of you, and a pally to give you crusader aura.

Hope you all can do it faster than I did, good luck!

This guy is far the hardest of the 6 racers. If you can beat this guy, you can easily beat Skyshatter. Just fly high and avoid as many missles as possible. Another good tip is that if you get lost for like 1-2 seconds, follow his missle trail. I lost him the first time, but quickly recovered and almost nailed it on the first time. After another 3 attempts, I knew the route by heart. I completed after my 5th attempt. Also, he also dive around the transporting dock on netherwing ledge. Just make sure then that you stick close, but for the rest of the run you can fly high.

Don't give up on any of these races. The best way to do is to study their trails. It's much easier if you already know where you going.

This guy was very tricky, took me 11 tries. Personally I found marking him with an icon (While in a party) helped immensely as he will seem to disappear at times. Good luck.

I have completed this quest 3 times now, except that I haven't. At the very end he does a 180 before he lands, he picks up speed right before he does the 180 and he's managed to fly out of range there 3 times now.

But nothing is more fun than getting knocked off your mount behind a crystal formation not being able to move or mount up, and end up HS'ing back to Shattrah just to fly back and try again.

Beat him the first try. Terribly easy if you stay really high above him.

Runawaynow의 댓글

So, don't know if anyone noticed this, but both the Wing Commanders have names similar to the main duo in the movie Top Gun. Iceman (Ichman) and Maverick (Mulverick).

Obviously, Tom Cruise was the hero in that movie so the character based of the role he played must have a harder race, right? Of course maybe that's an incorrect assumption to make...

Winning strategy, after a lot of frustration:

- Fly high. His lightning bombs have a finite range - flying above will avoid 99% of the grief.

- Watch for the sudden turns. It is easy to loose sight of the target.

- The one place you can not fly high is at the transport dock. Fly parallel, just off to one side.

- His first approach to the finish line is not the finish. You will have to circle the airfield, during which time you're probabaly aggroing.

As with other races, taking off your gear saves repair costs. A riding crop is not required to complete the quest.

96968의 댓글

I have to agree - the best course of action is stay as much above him as is physically possible and still be counted as in the running, as well as dodging all his Sidewinder Lightning missiles. My suggestion is to try it a few times even if you don't succeed at first, that way you get a good handle of the route you take, which can also help ease the confusion that comes when he sometimes changes course to distract you. Even if I took a few tries it was always frustrating in a fun way.

This is the worst quest in the game. I hope the developers who came up with this quest get fired.

This quest is just not fun. Sometimes you get knocked down just for the hell of it. I have failed the quest at the very end within pissing distance of the landing strip twice.

That doesn't count the number of attempts over the past few days where I just got knocked off for no good reason.

The thing that worked for me was flying slightly to the left or right of his flight path as it helped me see the bombs and I could cut corners when necessary.

The other tip is to stay on the expected flight path if you lose him because when he doubles-back on you and throws a ton of bombs, he will pick up his original flight path.

There was no quest in the game that made me feel like I want to cancel my WoW account until I discovered "Dragonmaw Race: Wing Commander Mulverick".

Farming Nethercite Ore or Crystals is a better use of time than wasting even a single minute while waiting for this quest to begin.

H4rb0rSkum의 댓글

If you don't know how to strafe on a mount by now this quest will teach you. I had to do this one 13 times before I got it. All I did was strafe in the other direction when he started launching his lightning bolts and tried to stay below his left wing. Once you get the gist of his flight path this ones not *as* annoying.

Also turning the UI off was a BIG help! (Thats ALT+Z for those who need to know how to turn the interface off and on)

Good-freaking-luck!

Most of the time, the biggest problem for me was keeping in touch with him, not actually dodging the missiles, because he seems slightly faster than you.

What helps most here is learning his path by heart and actually flying in front of him. This way the missiles won't hit you, because they're fired in the other direction. Just be aware of those moments where he makes this lovely little stunts, because then the missiles will be fired to the front. You propably won't be able to be in front of him all the time, but make sure you take every possible shortcut available.

Just try to be between him and the point he's going to fly next, and you should be fine.

To the person who failed once because he looped around the tower you should have seen that one coming, Maverick ALWAYS buzzed the towers in Top Gun. If he didn't I would have been disappointed.

This is imho the most difficult of all the racing quests. I believe the following observations should make it easier:

My view is that the lighning bolts do not actually track you as some comments suggest.

Instead, what happens is that the lightning bolts expand in a circular way after they have been launched. It almost works like a circular "net" or "web" that increases in size as it goes on. If you get caught in the "net", you are dismounted.

As a countermeasure what you should do is this: Imagine a cone-shaped area behind Mulverick. This is the "danger zone".

So if you are very close to Mulverick, there is a smaller chance of being caught.
If you are further behind him, the area covered by the bolts are larger and you are in more danger.

He launches the lighning bolts more or less in your direction, but "circle of bolts" then expands the further it goes. This therefore creates the impression that the bolts actually do track you.

The strategy that ultimately worked best for me was this:

I flew right behind Mulverick (as close as I could) all of the time. Perhaps just a little to the side. Whenever I see a bolt, I hit spacebar and try to go "over" it. If you just keep spacebar in you should be safe. The closer you are to Mulverick, the easier to dodge the bolts this way.
What also works like a charm here is to cut his corners. If you are next to (or ahead of) Mulverick, you are safe. So if he turns, turn sharply into his turn and stay next to him.

Finally, you'll have to get to know his flight path in order to stay close. Most likely you'll end up doing the quest about 10 times to get the hang of his path, but if you persevere you'll get it. (Or just memorise it from youtube!) This dude has one loooong flight path.

(The most frustrating thing here is lag... even with a latency of 500-700ms you'll sometimes find that Mulverick suddenly "disappears" in front of you. If you don't know the flight path, this can be quite frustrating. Look for him right behind you if this happens. I think his "stunts" are sometimes because of small lag spikes rather than actual stunts?)

Took me three real tries to beat this. There were also two bad tries wherein:

1) I got aggro from one of the Dragonmaw riders while Mulv was taking off. What was I supposed to do, sit there and take a bunch of damage? I ran away.. pretty lame.

2) He despawned on me once. Just disappeared. Quest didn't fail, but obviously I had to restart.

A couple notes I made:

1) The major reason I didn't get this on my first try was because I tended to trail him from above, and at one point he goes to the Dragonmaw transporter platform and dives low... so he got out of my range and I failed. Not much I could have done there without pre-empting the dive, which I did next time.

2) I found the projectiles to be incredibly easy to avoid. Followed with my mouse and just tapped space (jump) whenever he fired them... they'd miss every time. I ended up tapping space a lot anyways to ensure that I didn't overtake him.

3) When Mulv (or any of the riders) suddenly loop back and then forward in one direction, this is something of a bug. It's obvious that Blizzard coded the encounter so that the riders are meant to hit invisible checkpoints, but for whatever reasons this doesn't always happen. When a rider misses one of these points, he quickly loops back and then forward again to go through it. This can cause confusion and lead to you getting hit or falling behind, but it won't happen 100% of the time, and if nothing else you can curse Blizzard. Or as someone else pointed out above, this could be the result of client-side lag. In any case, it's really not part of his intended route.

What makes this quest really annoying are the patting skybreakers that pose a problem if you run into them often. When I reached the runway, I found myself tanking 2 skybreakers, periodically dropping 2k aimed shots on me. BTW, when mulv reaches the runway, he flies at the same speed as he did taking off. So ya, I was there for quite a while.

Stay above him. After reading the comments, after giving up on trying not to "cheat" I tried the stay above/ahead. Finished on third try.

Samitch의 댓글

Contrary to the popular strategy, i just stayed Low and to one side, and then it is very easy to see the bolts coming; except the part where he goes along the ground. In the previous races I just stayed high and it was easy, but here i always got hit when i was right above him, but staying low they still seemed to be shot upwards, and i almost never got hit. I only ever lost if i got out of sight, or didnt know his flight path very well, so it was just a matter of learning his turns.

gaashura의 댓글

A Parachute cloak is HIGHLY recommended for these quests, the engineering one is perfect since it only has 30 seconds cooldown, and will save your butt, but most likely your gold.

the only thing you need to do, is wear your cloak, and move the icon to a hotkey, take will help you react faster when you are falling, rather than clicking on the icon in your inventory.

Just stay as high as possible without losing him. Done in the first attempt :P

Don't worry about the skybreakers, you could have one on you the whole time and nt die as long as you have over 8K health... Staying right behind him is a bad plan because they DO track you to an extent.... the best way really is to fly high, but you will be amazed at how close you have to be to stay in "range"... Once I figured out that staying high was the key I lost multiple times just because I would get out of the tiny range

133121의 댓글

I tried strafing and dodging and everything else. I'm even a Druid, so I had Swift Flight Form! It was still hard. Flying above him is by far the best way. You avoid his bolts 99.9% of the time and can see his every move. Good luck to everyone attempting this quest! It's definitely a challenge!

JonnyBigBoss의 댓글

Hardest quest I have ever done. Here are some tips:

- Turn your maximum zoom distance up and zoom out all the way
- Turn off your UI (alt+z by default)
- Predict his moves
- Cut him off at corners
- Fly to the side of him and strafe if possible
- Don't give up if you get knocked down, remount

I actually got knocked off my mount after the dock and had 10% health left upon landing. I thought I failed but remounted and was able to follow him. I suffered 3 durahits (no room in bags for my gear) and intense frustration doing this quest. Be patient and you will succeed.

Cromulon의 댓글

This quest was really tough, but I completed it on my 5th run, 4th technically, since I thought you could wait at the end of the runway before he got there, apparently not. The last time I got really lucky, I aggroed one of those hostile Dragonmaw flying and they killed me just as we both landed. Thankfully I completed the quest.

Flying above him seems to work the best, use the space bar when he goes up and X when he goes down, move around a LOT.

Captain Skyshatter is really hard :(

As a hunter I used track humanoid. Attempted 2 times. First time was fine till there were 3 green dots and didn't know which to follow and lost him. Second time, I got hit by the thing he shoots at you. Using Track Humanoid made it easier. You just follow the green dot that going at that fast speed.

Do not rely on the graphics to help you here. The dismount effects frequently do not coincide with the big crackly balls.

On talking to a Blizzard GM about this, I was told this is a known issue and will be fixed at some point in the nebulous future; in the meantime, the best strategy I have found is simply to stay about ten yards behind, above and right of him at all times.

******
100% working method to beat the dismounting electricity: tap space bar as he shoots em and as you fly by them.
******
You can literally just fly through the mass of electric rings with this method without worrying about getting dismounted. Now all you have to do is keep up with him. :)

ALSO,

Two odd things I've noticed with this quest
-Anyone else notice that sometimes his electric attacks hit himself?
-I've had him disappear on my first try without failing the quest... anyone else?

I easily spent a little over two hours and a half on this guy. It took me a lot of attempts, many of them failed because I was too far away or he managed to hit me with a homing spark. The method I found that worked for me really well was just staying directly above him, with my camera directly pointing down. Space bar and X worked wonders, but after a little over a dozen times I finally managed it.

All advice I can give about him is to stay above him, except at the ramp where are two ascendants he will swoop down fast so you have to be at same distance as him or you will lose.

And noggenfogger also help alot.

LilithuZ의 댓글

It took me about 1 hour to beat him...

Normal
At first I tried staying behind him, that is the worst thing to do when facing Mulverick
cause of the lightning are many and they track you, but not for long before they exlode.

Bird's Eye View
Then I tried staying on top and beside of him that worked rather well,
although when Mulv made a turn it all went to hell :S

One Step Ahead
Then after like 10 attempts I tried flying in front of him, with that tactic it only took me 2 attempts
to beat him but it requires you to know his flight route if you're gonna try that one, and another thing
sometimes he just stops in the air, goes back a few yards and then continues on the normal route so
keep an eye out for when he does that. I had to turn my camera back and forth like a 100 times to
fly in front of him.

Good Luck and I hope this helpes!

Seems like in 2.4.3 this part of the quest is broken. On last half of the flight mulveric simply dissapears.

I was doing this as paladin, so i had crusader aura to give extra edge for the trip. It never was problem to stay close to him( hell i was flying around him in circles -.- ), but every single time on same damn spot he just dissapears.

My range? I had pressed shift + V to get name boxes appearing at close distance( what ever it may be... within 15 yards? ) yet he still dissapeared on 3 differend tries on same spot.

Quiet depressing, though i didnt need the q reward, other than reputation.

Edit: Latency was 150 - 180. Cant blame on that either.

Finally managed to kill him today, got a new computer and i could really ramp up the viewing distance. I did it 20 times in a row and really got to learn his flightpath so it became a bit easier.

I had a lot of trouble with this guy. Whether it was that I was just unlucky or I made a wrong move, I don't know.
But after about 125 tries, for 3-4 hours I downed him.

Tips that really worked for me was drinking Noggenfogger Elixir until you are buffed with being smaller.
I also stayed fairly far above him as well, but not behind him.
Try to cut corners whenever possible.

This race is pretty long (over 4 minutes) so there is a lot of time to make a mistake.
Just make sure to go down with him when he is by the dock, and fly back up as soon as he does.

He does circle the ramp a few times so try to avoid skybreakers. Don't land until he does and starts moving a lot slower (like he did before he took off).

This was actually the toughest race for me (more so than Skyshatter).

after 47 attempts, I find myself ripping the hair from my skull, and eating it.
I even succeeeded on attempt #32 (the wild attept) as I like to call it, but the quest
bugged ofcoarse and did not show as "completed" but "failed", been waiting hours on end
for a GM reply to my query, don't think h/she will allow me the quest completion though as I forgot to screenshot it and there is no real proof apart from my friend who has helped me through it, I have been attempting it since, and will be starting attempt #47 (the bold attempt) very soon.
Any ideas welcome

Wondering if anyone else is noticing he likes to turn a quick (more like instant) 180 as if he missed a checkpoint, then turn another 180 all while chucking lightning at you the whole time. This happened 3 times in one run.

I forgot to add, don't wait at the end of the runway after accepting the quest. Apparently the range check applies while he is on the ground too!

A few tips from a Paladin:

Fly above him as far as you can. This will make most of his bolts completely useless.
Hit Shift+V to turn on allied health bars. If you can see his health bar, you need to be higher.
Put some symbol on him.
He doubled back for a second three times when I raced him, and did a sort of 360 in midair while throwing 3-4 times. Does anyone know if these are random?
If you DO fly high, make sure you drop down at the little skydock by the two Ascendants. Otherwise you may lose him when he dives.
Crusader Aura is a godsend.

First dozen or so attempts: no dice.

First attempt with Noggenfogger shrink: win. Stay above him and relatively distant. Make sure you know when he's going to wig out in place or suddenly dive low. Still, to hell with this dude.

128242의 댓글

The only thing I want to add to all of this is to find shortcuts when you can. He seems to fly slightly faster than the player and if you follow his path exactly you'll eventually lose him. Considering the best strategy is to stay on top of him, that gives you even less distance ahead you can let him get. So when he makes a turn, make a sharper turn so you can make up some distance. Of course, this absolutely requires that you know his path, because he most certainly doesn't always go the way you might expect him to.

And a little encouragement...this is tough, you're gonna fail, it's okay. You're more than welcome to skip it, it's certainly not necessary. So just keep at it, don't get frustrated, and if you still don't feel you can do it, let it go. I most certainly wouldn't suggest trying it 100 times. It ain't worth it.

the fking anoying thing about this is that the bolts dont track untill the point the they "collapse" if you fly right next to a bolt when it collapses then you get hit!

One of the hardest quests out there, in my opinion. Did it at least 10 times, and the most frustrating part is for sure the wait... It's long enough for me to read through all the tips on this page. Anyways, this is what worked:

- LEARN HIS PATH. Whether by watching a video a few times or trying and failing at the quest a bit, you'll soon get the feel for where he is going.
- Full screen, Use the mouse to adjust your camera down, max zoom, use x to go down, space to go up, arrow keys to steer
- BEST BIT: every time he sends out his zappers, HIT THE SPACEBAR. Works like a charm. Just be sure not to go too high; in between bolts hit the x key to go down a bit.

Trial and error, and as he says "Blood, sweat and tears".

WOW... so I gave it like 15 tries before I finally am able to stick with him to the landing strip (right before he flies by the tower), and as he's slowing down........ BAM! my internet dies and I get dc'd. Pwnt, right? Well a few minutes later I get back online to read, " this realm is going down for scheduled maintanence. Realm Shutdown 3:00".

This is where I head-desk.

Something I've found to help is to go into your video settings and put view distance max. If your computer can handle it, it helps (imo).

best if u know his flight path

i did it enough e... (no... i dont want to say easy, cuz i spent 2 days on this damned quest) ... but when u know where to be carefull , where he will fly up / down, then its doable.

i hide my UI (default its i thing Alt+z)
instead of scrolling the camera as far as possible, i scrolled it to the 1st person view, so i didnt saw my character = thats realy important, cuz u can see so where ur target is = thats important :)
turned my camera completly above my character (with holding down the right mouse button), so i was looking straight down
but now comes the difference from the other posts here...
instead of flying forward, i was flying to SIDE, while i was always directly above the quest npc while flying, so i looked at him from above.
i was turning by holding down the right mouse button
and when i needed to go closer down to him i just pressed the Forward button, and again when i needed to fly higher, then i just hold´ down Jump, till i was in optimal distance from him.

seems complicated by reading it, but if u got that system what i used u realize its realy simple
(once to try > x time read ; practice > theory ;-) )

here u can see how it looks like:
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3804/distancepd4.jpg

i didnt dodged even once a missile, i just fly forward (strafed) the whole time, just keep ur eyes on him and watchout if he stops and starts to shoot plenty of shots at u = that means u need to go back, he leads the way after all ;)

also recapitulation:
1st person view
look down
move sidewards (strafe)
to turn (minic the quest npc turnings) hold down the right mouse button the whole time
jump if u need to go up
press Forward button if u need to go down

and one very important thing:
STAY by the quest NPC till the total end, even if he stops firing at you and lands, till you dont get the Quest Complete msg!

else even after successfull flight u will get Failed msg, just as me... i thought i kill someone in the moment...

For anyone who'd like to set a timer of survival, set it to 4 minutes and start as soon as he actually starts flying. That's about how long he took for me.

Captain Sky*!@#ter, for all I care...

Anyway, for those who cannot reliably keep ahead of him - or are 80, like me, so riding crops are gone - here's a textual form of his path. He's going to keep reliably turning either left or right - so by staying on the inner lane you're technically faster than him.

1. Starting U-turn.
Path: onto the strip and back over it, towards the floating rock ahead.
Tip: Everyone knows what to do - just stay ahead.
Checkpoint: Somewhere before the rock...

2. Tour of the island.
Path: He'll take a sharp turn left - and then circle the island, up until the landing dock.
Tip: The path is counterclockwise: during that stage stay on his LEFT side.
Checkpoint: Descending from the mountain next to the dock.

3. Through-and-over.
Path: He'll fly south into a crystal-jagged canyon, across the middle of the island, high over the base and the strip, and further take a right turn to climb over yet another mountain.
Tip: The path is clockwise - stay on his RIGHT, and watch out for the crystals limiting your movement.
Checkpoint: Right as he starts climbing the mountain after the airstrip.

4. Mid-air loop.
Path: After passing the mountain summit left-side, he'll do a 15-second horizontal loop in the air.
Tip: Stay on his LEFT, which means hardly moving at all, as his loop is slightly tight. Just shift up and down, I guess.
Checkpoint: After a full turnabout, he'll return to the island. Be ahead of him.

5. Home run!
Path: He'll climb the ridge and follow it west (along the edge) and end up at the dead bird near the airstrip's outward end, then take a left turn and he's down.
Tip: Stay to his LEFT, in other words: inland.

And good luck.

I just spammed spacebar the whole time and nothing touched me. maybe i got lucky

the worst part of these quests, by far, is when you fail, you have to wait about 1:15 for him to walk to the end of the runway. I dont know what blizz was thinking when they designed these

zariplz의 댓글

Very long flight....
I got it on the fifth or so try by moving down at an angle with the mouse and using the spacebar to dodge his attacks. I also strafed with the arrow key (left mostly) because both mouse buttons pressed + arrow key = strafe.
easier than using WASD imho.
Good luck, I haven't gotten the nerve up to try Skyshatter yet....

It's like watching a mage non-stop Blinking in front of you. Especially with all the lightning hoops coming at you.

`````````

Has anybody successfully flown through the middle of the lightning hoops and did all right? Or is it a solid object flung at you with no real center, just a graphical center?

Ebonii의 댓글

What frustrates me the most is the fact that most of the time just before the mine, he gets a face full of his own attack, stops but doesn't dismount, is that the point of the race? To see who stays on for the entire duration?

someone else was doing the quest for the first guy when i did this quest, they go the same route at the beginning, i thought this dude shot lightning AND pumpkins out of his ass. tried to avoid the pumpkins, got hit with the lightning *unimpressed*

After failing this quest at least 10 times, I finally found the easiest way - fly below him.

Even with my UI off, camera zoomed in, and strafing like crazy he kept despawning at random during the race (when I had been sure I was close enough). I had been flying above him and dodging his bolts with relative ease, although I did get hit twice. As soon as I started to fly under him I had absolutely no problems avoiding the bolts, and was able to stay even closer to him as to avoid despawning. I got it on my first try using this method, and I highly recommend it if you're having trouble any other way.

There is little use in bothering to do this quest anymore. The rewards are 1500 rep, a +10% mount speed whip and some gold.

However this quest will most likely take so much time that looking for eggs will give more rep, you repair bill will be larger than the money and the whip is worthless for anyone over level 70.

This quest is horrible and annoying. But if you like a challenge and feel lucky by all means try it.

You have no idea how much hate I feel when i think of him.

Fun fact: It is possible to be dismounted and still complete the quest.
I got hit early in the race, but was close to the ground. I remounted as soon as I hit land and since I had not recieved a fail message, I continued to race. Happened to be on the attempt that I finally won!

This guy took me 4 tries.

The whole race, from the time you accept from the time he stops flying, is 5 minutes. There is a 1 minute 20 second time at the beginning when he gets to the end of the strip, but the other 4 minutes 40 seconds is the race.

My tip for this guy, and all the others, is, whenever possible, stay in front of them a little. They never shoot their abilities in front of them, only behind them, this one being the worst ability by far (from what I've done). Make sure not to go too far ahead because you may fail the quest. Also, if you are in front of them, they tend to do more random stops to throw you off so make sure to be watching behind you.

I cannot for the life of me keep up with him. No idea how he manages to lose me every time. Might be easier if crops worked past level 70.

vektor의 댓글

well it's been a long time since someone commented here. I did this with 5-6 attempts and I knew the flightpath only for 15-20 seconds from the start when I finished this quest.
3 necessary rules to be successful here are:
1) place a raid mark on him, the orange is the best. this really helps you, when he's behind obstacles and it was about 8-10 times when I did this quest.
2) cut corners, always.
3) strafe as much as you can, because his bolts actually go straight at your position after 1-2 seconds of firing.

THIS is a quest.
This guy made me shake to the point of almost crying, and sweat more than I ever do.
I had more fun getting rocked by this guy countless times, then I have in almost all the other "innovative" quests combined.
I also respect his ability to fly like a pro. For these, I nominate Wing Commander Mulverick as the new King of Everything.

Edit-Capitilization FTW

Ok, this has some MAJOR glitches. First off, he hit me with every single bomb and i got knocked to the ground and was able to remount and continue. He ALSO hits HIMSELF during the encounter, which makes following him hard as hell. Just wanted to post it because I've been on this quest for over 6 hours and this is BS.

Just finally completed this quest after numerous tries. The Easiest way to get this done is to fly ABOVE him, and follow him with the camera pointed down. I beat him on my second try, and was very happy about it. Good luck!

This quest made me wish I had waited to smack around some Peons today...

Incredibly annoying, but staying RIGHT near him and turning your UI off is an awesome suggestion. I also have my view as wide as I can.

(Why can't I get an instant win when they get hit with their own spells? :p)

There's no easy way to do this and it's almost impossible to explain the route he takes, but here are my recommendations...

1) Remove all your armor. It's not going to do you any good in the air anyways and your repair bill will be monstrous by the time you finish. This quest is no easier for an 80 than a 77.

2) Switch to first person view and try to fly above him pointing the camera angle directly downward. You will see that this is impossible to maintain as this is a very complicated flightpath and he will stall a lot just to mess with your mind.

3) Stay far enough away to avoid the fray, but close enough not to lose him (not easy).

4) Memorize the path as best you can. You will have plenty of chances during your failures.

5) IMPORTANT: At times he will cut back and do loops to lose you. If you lose sight of him just keep veering the same direction as you were going before he started playing games, you will probably find him again.

6) Stall when he stalls, but not completely, otherwise you'll get whacked by the fireballs.

7) There are two extremely frustrating parts to this, one where he dives far below the edge of the cliff and zooms immediately upward. Keep your distance, but don't lose him. The other part that will drive you nuts is when your finally reach the runway and think you're done, he'll cut back two or three more times and you'll almost always lose him, so just hold your breath and hover over the center of the runway.

Like I said, extremely difficult and hard to explain but if / when your complete this you will really have accomplished something. Best of luck!

OK. The others before this were a piece of @#$% tbh. This is the one that sorts out the men from the boys

First things first. You are NOT gonna complete this on your first go, due to the extreme length of the race, a touch over 4 minutes from when he actually begins to fly, until its end, and given the sheer complexity of his often sudden manouvers (such as changing direction maybe 3 times in as much seconds) that is way too long a time to be able to do this guy without a LOT of practice getting to know his flight path.
Which is crucial, since the only way to go this quest is in first person perspective and at a v high altitude, as after he dive bombs towards the end, he can climb a heck of a lot faster than you can, and it is impossible to see where he goes.
Getting to know the path is also crucial because only then will you know where you can actually catch him up (and get into a better vertical position) by cutting corners around his path.

I would recommend turning your stopwatch function on too, so that you will be aware just how close you are to finishing.

As for control, it is way easier to use the default aswd keys for manouvering and holding down your mouse buttons at the same time.

Also needed is a slight bit of luck, as beyond 3 mins his manouvers and his bombs become more extreme, and you will invaiably lose him for a second or two, which is where getting to know that flight path comes in v handy.

My husband recommended I time this so I could see how close I was each time. The race itself took 4 minutes, not counting the 1 min 20 sec it took for him to walk down the landing strip, and about 20 sec it took for him to glide in at the end. So after one hour of doing this over and over, I got dismounted on the landing strip right as the race was ending and mounted up again asap just to realize that he was gliding in and I hadn't failed the quest after all! ^_^ Finally!

I do suggest staying above and a bit to one side of him, and just hitting space bar when he shoots at you. He tended to stun himself with his lightning, allowing me to catch up and reposition occasionally. Also, flying over some of the crystal groupings instead of through cuts down on time, and reduces the chance of getting stuck on protuberances.

Hide your interface, learn his route, stay in front of him at all times, and be rdy for a lot of tries! Good Luck!
And remember: When he U-turns he always turns back, so just stay in front of him of him and be careful not to get to far ahead when he does this.

Hard quest, but doable. Practice makes perfect I found.

His bolts are easily avoidable just zigzag from right to left and up a bit but note that too far from him fails the quest.

Following him might be the hardest bit about this quest. It's straightforward at times but once or twice he doubles back and forward quickly, so if you don't have a straight eye on him, you could lose him = quest failed.

I also found him to stop at the last bolt for a few seconds, then continue on. Careful of this as well.

When he gets the place where 2 Dragonmaw Ascendants are standing guard he will do quick turn down the cliff and suddenly turn up, and go around the crystal. Stay tight with him at this point. Easily miss-able.

Got him after my 10th time. >.>

I completed this first try. What I did was fly a little bit behind him and off to the side. It makes it much easier to dodge his lightning (although I did take a few of them). Also, instead of following him directly, I would try to predict his path. 9/10 times I was right. This could probably be just luck, but if you have been practicing your prediction since the first race, it will give you an idea on where he may go. If you are successful and begin to see him bank, you can easily cut the corner and shave off some distance.

I am not sure if this is the way the quest was supposed to be, but when I completed his circuit it glitched and I had to follow him through another full circuit. Alas, I still completed it though with no riding crop or anything, just a normal 280% epic mount.

Also, I turned of my UI has it helped decrease my screen lag. I did not try the first-person zoom, but that may not help as much if you are using my technique by flying beside/behind and predicting the path.

Kagamine의 댓글

As of whatever patch (3.3ish?) that made it so you cannot be dismounted while flying, the lightning no longer dismounts you (It didn't dismount me at least), making this MUCH easier.

Blizz seemed to forget this quest exists when they made it so that you can't be dismounted on a flying mount. That's right, his damned lightning bolts now only push you away slightly but you can keep on going!

Sluaghlock의 댓글

By far the worst part about trying to complete this quest is the ridiculous "intro sequence" that clocks in at nearly two minutes long before every attempt as Mulverick slooooooowly moves down the entire runway at walking speed. It would have been one thing if Oldie or Trope had taken so long to set up, but for a quest you're likely to have to try more than once before completing, sitting through Mulverick's painfully slow trot again every time you fail is beyond tedious.

Also, flying ahead of him and knowing the route doesn't always work - he has a tendency to suddenly jerk around in the opposite direction for a second or two if you get too far in front, which will throw you far enough ahead to put you out of "following range" and cause you to fail the quest. If that doesn't happen, he also sometimes hits HIMSELF with his damnable lightning, which causes the same result. In other words, you have to not just win but avoid doing too well or he'll throw you off.

Top that off with having to wait for him to respawn by the runway every time you fail...

This quest is positively infuriating. :|

P.S. - Just tried again using the first-person strafing technique, and guess what? I was doing great, I was right before the end... and then I actually got knocked off my mount. RAAAAAAAAGE.

P.P.S. - Yes, I know this should be impossible. That's part of why it's so maddening.

I have just completed this after about 10 attempts. The main reason I failed was (like a lot of people have said) he flies really fast, but also because he stops randomly and turns in a ball of light while shooting at you. These stops are never in the same place and sometimes he seems to change direction slightly to throw you off, this completely messed me up for a while until I was aware that it happened and kept an eye out for it.

My advice as a druid is make sure you have flight form on your action bar and turn the UI off using Alt Z (as alot of people have said), try and keep up with him and dodge the lightning by using your space bar to rise away from him, then swooping in close to him with your mouse. Learning his route by failing over and over is soul destroying but necessary imo, you need to get the route etched on your mind so you can cut corners every now and then to catch him up.

Good luck!

549390의 댓글

When I tried doing this and it bugged and when he went to land (i watched a video on youtube to see when this was) instead of landing he stated his flight path again. Shortly afterwards I failed the quest because a Netherwing egg caught my eye.

Between him hitting himself with his own lightning !@#$ which stuns him, him simply disappearing off the screen and automatically failing the quest for you, him hitting you with 3 lightnings in a row which seems to disable your mount entirely even though it shouldn't anymore, and just how long this quest takes to do because of all these stupid faults with it, this is easily one of the most needlessly frustrating quests in the game.

My advice to anyone trying it would be to keep attempting it over a course of days instead of instantly retrying it, because it's not worth how angry you're going to get over this.

Gyllbane의 댓글

I don't see what makes this so hard.

Got it on my second try, without flight form (I'm a druid). All you have to do is strafe left and right to avoid the bolts, and avoid getting too far behind him. Cut corners when you can (I think he goes 10% slower than you) and it should be easy peasy.

But then again, playing Mario Kart and Starfox every day as a little kid might have helped my racing skills.

putster의 댓글

Not sure if it was bugged but when I tried it using flight form the projectiles would dismount me. So druids use an actual mount and you won't get dismounted.

I found this quest to be significately less than enjoyable. Not only does he "vanish" on occasion which means an almost certain fail unless you get lucky, but the other dragon riders in the area will knock you off as well.

After spending nearly 10g in repair costs I took my gear off, unfortunately that doesn't work as you will then die much easier to the attacks from the affore mentioned dragon riders.

This quest pretty much sucks. It is not the worse quest that Blizzard made, but its got to be somewhere in the top 10. I am dreading the next one, assuming I finally beat this one.

edit: Oh and the extra added insult of having to wait 5 minutes for the guy to get to the end of the run way each time really makes this obnoxious.

P.P.S. In addition to that, he has some kind of attack that knocks you off that you can't see coming. Maybe its from getting too close, I don't know.

P.P.P.S. Doing this quest in a group definately makes a difference. That was good advice. Got it on the second go.

Allakhazam의 댓글

This race is exceedingly difficult, there is no simple approach to it either.... but for the sake of being helpful i will say that alt + z to hide ui helps a bit.... the APPROX course he takes is

straight off the landing strip, hard left along the cliffs, continuing straight until passing the first mine, wide left turn to connect to the second mine area. you cut across the eastern corner of the town and take the path to the right (east) the path again splits here, stay to the right, which is an uphill, at the split turn west (towards the elite flayer boss). after the elite flayer boss he turns a VERY wide left and heads over to the 'dock' used in the 'not so friendly skies' quest. once he arrives here he nosedives just past the edge of the dock, turning a sharp right and coming back up over the top of a hill, his pathing is a little screwy here, but he starts heading east again. the rest is fairly simple.... its all a matter of keeping up. Once you get back to the runway its NOT over! he flys right by the runway and goes around the top of the right 'tower' at the end of the runway, then flys back to the end of the runway.... then its over.

you'll understand that a bit better when you see it. this race is a SUPER pain in the ass since most of it takes place over the void.

If this is Blizzards attempt at making WoW a challenge they succeeded and failed miserably at the same time.
1st: The quest is poorly designed and incredibly stupid (getting hit randomly and more than once I was following him and he disapeared, didn't fail the quest, he just disapeared and respawned back at base).
2nd: Why do the dragonmaw have a runway? Spread your wings and @#%^ing fly away, WTF they need a runway for.
3rd: With a quest this hard that you have try 2000 times why does the stupid @#%^er fly at walking speed to the end of the runway before take-off? Hurry up @#%^er! C'mon Blizzard! You mother @#$%ing cocksuckers.

Somehow managed to do it on my first go, after reading all the posts here. I didn't spend hours playing Battlefront 2 for nothing it seems (whoo dodging lasers).

I used a riding crop, and was able to keep up quite well with him. At one stage I blindsighted accidently behind a crystal and avoided the sparklies, which was good. The worst part though is when he does his twirl thing, it is very difficult to dodge the sparkles and try and keep track of him at the same time. Otherwise, I tended to use a mix of staying below, then going above him, depending on how high he was above the ground.

Otherwise I consider myself very lucky to have one-shotted this quest, and I do agree that, in light of the almost certain death that awaits if you fail, Bliz did make it too hard.

I can see how difficult this quest was to begin with...but it's virtually impossible since the 3.02 patch. Since the patch, my game freezes, or locks up, for 5-10 seconds at a time while playing on Netherwing Ledge (and only on Netherwing Ledge). This occurs often enough that I can't get through this quest without it happening to me. I'm on the Crushridge server, and other players have told me that they're having the same problem. I submitted a petition in-game, and hopefully Bliz will fix whatever's broken.

Edit: Finally completed this quest and the Captain Skyshatter race. Got exalted and have my Nether Drake mount, and I'm never going to Netherwing Ledge again. =P

The best strategy is to fly 20 feet above Mulverick and stay a yard or two in front of him, or at the bare minimum 1 yard behind, all the while keeping the height at least 10 yards higher. You will never be hit by his dismount. This works best with a riding crop or if your a paladin; you would use Crusader Aura. It could take a few attempts to master, because you may need to learn most of his flight path in order to keep ahead of him so try not to pound your monitor if you fail.

Alright, so with the new expansion out and some mix ups at the shop that ended with me not getting my pre-ordered copy, I decided that I would give this a go since no one is out in the area anymore. It took me four times to beat him. No, I didn't do it naked.

First go, I got attacked on the runway by one of the above fliers. There's one main one that if you lift off anywhere except for the end of the runway, he'll divebomb you. Might be an idea to take him out. Killed him and had no more issues.
Second go, got knocked off my mount about a quarter of the way in when he does his first double back and blasts a ton of the electro balls out at you.
Third go, I just lost sight of him all together. Could have been a lag issue, my video card hates me, so my frame rate is never better than 11fps.
Fourth go, I beat him. Like others have said, pull the camera way back. I stayed mostly above him, figured when he would double back and just stopped to wait for him to turn back. He does it a few times, once just outside the post the first fly over, again near the top of the isle with all the Flayers, and again above the runway. Watch for loads of projectiles during this time, I'm sure it's so you lose track of him.

I probably got it out of shear luck on that last go, hopefully this last race goes as well.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Finally finished this one, took quite a few tries to get the flight route down. Open Interface Settings and slide the max camera distance all the way back. Makes it a lot easier to see where he is when he zips off camera. I spent most of my time above him. Once you get to the tower as he's coming back to the runway, don't panic if you're dismounted--you can still mount back up, as he's not flying off at that point, he's just crawling in real slow.

Considered that I had a #$%^&*bag horde intentionally flying in my way the whole time, this quest is doable, but hard.

I think the fact he uses those lightening attacks was enough, making him practically vanish and adding the attacks from the other fliers in the area (that also knock you off the mount) made it WAY beyond fun and into the "throw the computer out the window" area..

Umm ya..

The posts about flying above him is the correct method. What I did was got airborn, and made sure I was parallel with the ground. Then, I just used space and X to stay a reasonable distance above him, and just looked down on myself from above. Be careful though. Towards the end, he dives waaaaaaay down, and if you let him get too far below you, you fail. Though this took me a few times to complete, I never got dismounted a single time.

I tried doing this quest in first-person view (with a riding crop), and succeeded on my second try. Try it.

i hate this guy, all the rest took me a few tries to do them but they didnt bug, just needs patience to do them and some flying skill, this guy doesn't need patience, needs a new face over, he keeps bugging all the time, im going good, not being hit be invisible lightnings or anything and he poof, just disappear and im found flying alone...

The quests aren't that hard, and if you're pissed about repair costs, why not just take off your gear? It's not like it's doing you any good up there anyways...

Beat Mulv after 4th try, bit of a pain, just make sure you hide the UI (Alt+Z) and zoom the camera as far out as you can.

Allakhazam의 댓글

it's a good strategy to fly higher then him...just take care of where he goes. Alt+Z to remove interface and fly better, toggle autorun and fly higher... i think that if you have crusader aura or something similar, it's even easier

Clearly THE most stupidly hard quest of the game. As properly pointed out, the LAG makes the guest nearly impossible to complete (you get hit when you should not based on what your screen shows).

Took me 20+ tries (and 10+ deaths!) to successfully complete. You must do this quest NAKED or you'll go broke with the repair bills.

Only tips I can really give:
- fly above Mulv and the missiles he throws at you shoudln't be a real problem anymore,
- there are spots where Mulv does stupid 180° turns that are impossible to follow if you're not ready for them: practice and get used to them so that you can predict them
- there is one dive you have to be ready for: that's where Mulv dives next to the dock (if you don't anticipate this, he'll dive so deep that you'll loose him),
- at the end, Mulv approaches the village but does not land immediately so don't get tricked into landing there.

Good luck, this quest is FU.KING annoying but not entirely impossible. Stupid WOW though on that one...

blizzard made this race too hard imo! it's close to impossible!

Or at least I don't think.

I think it is more that it's bugged. As many people have mentioned - you will die a lot when NOTHING hits you. Won't even be remotely close and you'll still get hit - like we're talking 40+yds lightning goes in the OTHER direction yet you are mysteriously struck by it.

This quest is most certainly a failure of QC.

Also be warned, the quests are dependent on draw distance. As we all know, some areas seem to have different draw distances than others - such as Tanaris where it's really bad. Another spot it's bad is past the docks - and when he goes down by the docks you can be pretty close and it will still fail the quest. I was about 50yds and he faded the second he went past the docks - had been the same range the entire flight up to that point.

Alright, here's my anger plus some advice...

1) Take off all durable armor. Falling damage is a percentage of your health, so it won't matter that your hp is very low.

2) Video options: turn DOWN Terrain Distance, but turn UP Spell Detail and Environment Detail. This will give you a much better view of Mulv's sparkles.

3) Do NOT do this quest when someone else is doing a different race. After many tries I finally had this almost complete... except at the very end as Mulv was landing... an alliance player just started his and Ichman's fire knocked me off and quest failed because Mulv had landed too far ahead of me. I am EXTREMELY angry for that... so don't make that mistake. Just wait until nobody else is doing it.

4) F*** You Blizzard!

im laughing about it now, but i was tearing my hair out trying to do it, i found the best strategy was just to strafe fly alongside him every now and again switching sides, once u do it a few times and work out where hes going etc it bcomes much easier, expect a few deaths tho, thank god for slow fall ^^

Allakhazam의 댓글

…but I'm trying. It's tough, yes. Did you really expect the 5th in a line of 6 races to be a cakewalk?

Frankly, as much as I'd love the rep, because it'll get me that much closer to my , I may never finish this chain. I'd love the , too. I know it's the same as having a Riding Crop, but there will be far fewer in possession of the whip than the crop.

You could call yourself a real Netherwing Drake Rider after that… It separates the Flying from the dying.

Strafe left, strafe right, up-down-up…

*sigh*

Konami had a hand in coming up with this, didn't they?

This quest is fundamentally broken. The way the race went, it reminded me of racing games I played on the Atari 2600. That's to say it sucked. Failing the player is entirely based on dirty tricks and split second timing a human player could never do quite right within the time frame and required numerous tries until the human can predict it rather than react to it.

On the issue of being hit by nothing. This is an issue with the way Blizzard designed the game. Presumably to "ensure no cheating", they have made the server "king". This means that the correct position is not what's on your screen but what was sent to the server a bit ago (refer to your latency). Not so big a deal when fighting mobs when a difference of up to 500ms is tolerable, but when the difference between winnning and losing is less than you latency, it's crock. They reason this one is full of turds is because the sparklies home in on your position. So if it passes through where you were in the last second or so, you're dead. Clearly a mini-game like this MUST be run locally, not on the server. I mean, there's no option for group play. At most, it's just the mobs and occasional onlookers, all of which is LESS important than you seeing that lightning and where it's going. THEY can get the lagged position info. Essentially, it's possible to do it within the limits of the game by making it an instance (ZF is an "open air instance"), but it'd be less of a change at the user level if the backend somewhere got a bit put in to shunt some of the solo items onto the local computers. It does present the problem of hacked WoWs cheating, but it would also reduce loads on servers to an extent and reduce latency.

Regarding strategies, the fly high one worked the best for me. Flying sideways was ok, but I had the issue of flying into things. I had tried it to check where the heck Mulv was to reasonable success but it barely worked. I was left to spotting wingtips and some sparks. Would have loved a rear view addon or something, or at least a targetting one that tracked your target. A few things of note:
- The first ring to the left around the hill which brings you to the entrance to the mines can be done the same way the earlier ones could have been done, which is to fly ahead. Just hang at the crystal formation about runway height on the side of the hill until Mulv finishes his flop down the runway and begins his run. He just about goes full pelt so you can go full steam around the hill and not really have to worry about losing him. Go a little wide to let him catch up if need be. A little practice here and you should be able to do it in your sleep.
- I started doing the high up trick mentioned over the camp. Basically flew from the mine entrance to the camp, then climb and forward towards the side of the hill where Mulv makes his next major turn. Fly roughly at the height of the Dragonmaw Skybreaker patrols or a bit above. I found that the size of Mulv at the bottom of my screen should be roughly be his wing tip to wing tip be about the width from the thumb at the front of the netherwing wing to thumb. Any less would be helpful if you can manage it.
- After the flayer hairpin on the hill, I found it easier to fly over the crystal on the right (relative to the way Mulv is flying along this stretch), being already high up. Burn nether essence down to the end where the den mother is and veer a bit off to the right. Mulv comes past the den mother and through the gap in the crystals. He then goes on a wide left so don't hang too far behind.
- Generally, staying on the Netherwing Ledge side of Mulv's flight path should keep you on his "inside" of his turns and gain you ms. This changes when he heads out to the floating rocks, but you'll learn when that is and you won't forget it.

Catchup points (to the best of my recollection)
1) The mine entrances. He goes wide and almost always did a twirl near the eastern mine entrance. Stay to the right (south) of the crystals and you should be just close enough. You can even stop for half a second at crystal formation. Any longer and the sparklies would find you.
2) The ramp up to the flayers has a hairpin bend. For me I was high up already and easily short cutted the bend. Besure to not turn to early or the combined height and distance will fail you when Mulv takes the bend. From here, Mulv goes a little slower right after the turn, but picks up roughly where you could have shortcutted. I've lost him a couple of times at this point as I pelted down the track toward the den mother. Don't be too hasty.
3) Mulv heads out to floating platforms. One of them has some guy with "the Insane" suffix. lvl 72 elite. He makes a turn along the "left" edge of that rock and tosses A LOT of sparkles. I got knocked off twice at roughly the same position here so really watch it. You'll feel like cutting corners (felt a little far behind each time I was over that rock) but do too much and you will be shot down. Landing on that elite is about as much fun as the bloody Ascendants.
4) I think it's on the Eastern end, south side... either before or after #3 (sorry!) He sticks to the main range to his left but eventually banks out After seeing this the first time, you'll know that on rounding the range, you can head straight for where he comes out. This gets you that little bit closer.
5) The much-talked-about dive. This is a suck. As soon as you see the dock where the 2 Ascendants are standing guard, dive for it. You'll need to reduce you altitude so Mulv doesn't dive out of range and fail you. Fly out over the dock, turn around and watch him come back up. The climb is almost verticle so you could justfly close to the hill (more like a spire) he climbs and hit the space bar. He crests it and follows it down and then goes past the Ascendants towards the runway.
6) After the runway, he swings back and buzzes the tower. Stupid Top Gun :p Fly at the top of the tower when you're on this leg and he should swing back towards you. Just watch for the sparkles and follow him to the end of the runway to finish.

That's all I got... and could remember... 4-5 hours to get to this point. These races suck and the 90-odd seconds it takes from accepting the quest to the race starting in earnest ate up stupidly high amounts of my time. That and getting back there from the graveyard. Extremely time consuming and not much in rewards. Rep, you could do in less time and gold... well, run instances. 100G or so for the riding crop and you will be in the same position as someone who spent the time to do it, equipment-wise.

Ladies and gentlemen, I took him down in two tries. Virgil, Alleria, lvl 71 war, first toon.

It's easy once you learn to do three things: keep up with him and always keep an eye on where he's going at all times (because the lightning will make it hard to keep track, but that will be negated by the other two things), ignore the other riders (they won't be much trouble if you relax and stop worrying about if those riders will do anything. Focus on the race ONLY), and stay above or below him and at a safe distance. The last thing is to keep the chances of the lightning doing anything to you (directly by damaging you or from indirectly by making you lose sight of him, which is important if you want to win).

Remember the other thing about this particular race: you are allowed to stay at what I think might be 7-10 lengths behind him and not fail. This is crucial, because you can be further away from him and still win (Blizz was probably thinking you would notice that in this race). DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT RIDE UP ON HIM. You will fail every single time, guaranteed. Instead, take advantage of the added leniency of how far away you can be. Focus on the race only (pretend the riders aren't even THERE). Relax and keep an eye on him. The added length allowance also will help you avoid the lightning attacks. He likes to fire them directly behind him, too (another reason why you shouldn't tailgate him).

One more thing to think about doing: remember the path he takes. This goes for all races, but for this guy especially since others have issues with him: each rider has a particular fixed path they take. This way, if he "disappears" at a spot in the race and you fail, you should keep note as to where you lost him, and when you do it again, keep care of that spot so you don't lose him again.

There is one trouble spot when he goes to the NE corner of the island. He actually goes down the cliff, against the floating land. The other sort of trouble spot is where he tries to trick you into thinking the race is over by flying over the starting runway. Don't fall for it, but that is close to the end, as he'll circle around, try some more lighting, and it'll be over.

He'll go VERY slowly across the runway to end the race. This is probably because he's trying to give time for any aggro you have to kill you. Don't dismount (it'll be only one, like I had, if you followed my strategy, which should not be of a concern at that point) until you get the message that the race is completed. THEN dismount and let the aggros have it (or just wipe and fly back. Won't matter after the race is done anyway). The UI thing isn't a necessity, but it does help a great deal.

just did it on my 2nd try when flying above him and keeping distance of off those arcane missiles. Believe me, fly above him and you'll make it. Watch out for when you think it's over as he flies towards the base, he doesnt land but flys to end of "runway" and then goes to land and there were quite many arcane missiles :) definitely use far camera vies + alt+z

This quest is annoying.

I failed a few times because I went to the far end of the run way and the path he takes to get there I guess goes too far...

As for the race itself... I failed about 10 times total but once you know the track you can cut his turns to make up ground. Also if you manage to stay slightly ahead of him (because you know the route better than he does) he doesn't hit you with those things at all.

This quest is really really really hard.
His bolts always go to your direction, making impossible win him if you try follow him, as we should do. The only way to beat him is flying AHEAD, and to do this you need know his entire flight path. So, you'll try over 20, 30 times to get there and will die over 10 times, that's for sure.
The first half of the flight path is the worst, you may lose him from sight several times and you'll aggro several mobs, making it harder then it should be. After he flies over the 2 mobs on the wooden deck, most of his fly is in circle, near the base, and you don't need follow him, just stay in the range and it'll be fine. Memorize his first half path, the second half path is ALOT easier then first half.

blizzard made this race too hard imo! nearly impossible!

I just finished this one and I had the best luck by strafing sideways out beside him. You can remain almost parallel with him while strafing and his shots can't hit you. It takes 3 or 4 tries to get his tricky parts down but a lot of it is pretty standard. If you do end up behind him just go up up up to avoid the shots and use his turns to catch up with him. When he gets near the dock be careful because he takes a quick dive down the side of the rock face over the edge of the dock and then turns around and comes right back up.

I won't downplay the difficulty... I spent a good long time trying and failing this race. I did the 4 before it without any real effort so when this one gave me soo much trouble I was pissed, especially since racing games are my first true love.

My advice...
- get naked... at least take off anything with durability.
- always move... whenever Mulv sends things your way do 3 direction changes(while continuing forward). I go right-up, then down and then left-up.
- i see a lot of people suggesting you stay above Mulv. I found this to make it more difficult I choose to fly off to his side.
- You need a speed boost... riding crop or crusaders aura
- 360s... these can be devasting in your mind but i never once was knocked off during this move. go up fly in circles and keep your eye on the prize.
- be patient... this is above all the most important thing. Getting frustrated and pissed off is your biggest enemy on this and the next race. The moves are simple and methodical since there's no way of knowing if a phantom bolt is going to hit you, you just need to follow your best pattern and keep trying.

The fact is until bliz improves this quest it's not about skill it's about luck. Since you can't control luck there's no point in getting frustrated and pissed off.

Once last bit... when I finally beat this I was being attacked by those damn skyguard guys... since I was flying naked I was really getting my butt kicked too. Mulv landed and I fell from the sky dead right in front of him... DO NOT RELEASE if this happens. Death does not fail you it's all about range wait for him to reach the end of the landing strip and it will complete. I was on the edge when this happened but it made the win that much cooler...

Attempted this quest last night on my lock approx 20-30 times with no success.

Had the @#$%s so I had to rage quit.

My suggestion take all your clothes off so you don't get any durability loss if you get knocked off the mount and into the gully. This happened to me about 5 times.

Expect to get the %^&*s with the quest, it's absolutely hell trying to complete.

Found the best way to avoid the lightning stay reasonably close to him and then zig zag up and down during the flight.

I beat him last night and I thought I would post here to pass on some of my lessons learned the long way
He caused me huge problems. I probably failed 50 to 60 times.

Best recommendation is to get someone to do with you. After joining with someone he succeeded on the 3rd try. I failed a couple of times as I was too far back. I found another person to do it with and I beat him after 5 tries.

Next best recommendation is get a riding crop

I read everyone’s posts here and on other sites, watch clips of You Tube and this is my advice.

Pick a strategy and work on that only. I tried going in front of him, left of him, behind and above. Nothing worked better than any other. Just pick one that you feel comfortable with and get better with it. I found if I hung back a bit I had more time to react and change direction.

Mulverick seems to have two attacks. One is a circle of balls that sort of spread out like a net. The other is a sort of spiralling ball that seems to home in on you. Mulverick must try and judge where you will be flying a second or so ahead when he makes his attack and direct his attack at this future point. If you keep flying without changing direction you fail. I found just hitting spacebar or strafing a bit wasn’t enough. I got better results when I changed direction and flew in a different direction for a bit

I also found out that when I flew holding down the right mouse button for steering and moving the mouse from side to side so Mulverick went from 1 side of the screen to the other, say every ½ second, he wouldn’t fire anything at me. I could just fly behind him safely. Downside to this was that when he got to the western end the island he would disappear every time. If I stopped doing this say half way along the run to the western end of the island, he wouldn’t

UGH! I am level 77 and this is definitely the most annoying quest I have ever done. Being higher level doesn't help with the quest, or with people because Punk Alliance will still kill ya if they see you on the ledge.

Anyway: I have been trying this quest on and off for the past 3 days. Almost got it last night, but all of the sudden he just disappears.

To those out there, things that have helped me is completely zooming out, so that you can see the whole screen.

Take your gear off unless you want to go completely broke with your gear repairs!

Damn Blizzard

Took me literally two tries to beat him. You can avoid everything he hits at you so that isn't even an issue. I flew slightly behind and above him, and every time I saw him throw something at me I pressed spacebar to fly up a little and avoid anything he threw.

He hit me a couple of times with the big lightning balls but not enough to slow me down significantly, and I just stayed as close as I could while closing the gap whenever I saw an opportunity (whenever he makes turns is a good bet for this).

Don't know if this is a bug but after a while of chasing him he stopped completely and then flew *incredibly* slowly towards the runway, clipping through terrain the whole way there. Stayed on top of him the whole time and when he finally landed after almost 10 minutes I got the quest completion.

Seems to be very buggy? Race started out (normally?) with him moving super slowly toward the end of the runway, then flying and throwing lightning. Then he got hit by his own lightning, froze for about 5 seconds, and started flying back to his start position at walking speed, clipping through crystals and the blacksmith hut on the way. He got to the end of the runway, immediately turned around, and quest complete. Same thing happened with Corlok the Vet, except he was clipping through mountains.
