...Offers a ridiculously hard quest. If you get too far out of range, you will lose, and large amounts of bombs are constantly dropping.

If you make it, the reward is a +10% mount speed trinket and about 25 gold.

Kommentar von Kaigami

and 1000 netherwing rep ;)

Kommentar von Loreya

no chance without a pally -.-

Kommentar von 37564

Ya you can beat him without a pally aura, you just need to memorize his pathways, anticipate when he will doubleback, and just be very very fast with evading the meteors. P.S. its a lot easier to get ahead of him several yards instead of following him all the way

Kommentar von 55651

Seems like he's bugged atm, keeps fading in and out :(

Kommentar von Talkimas

The phasing is a problem that can happen with all of the npcs for some odd reason, not just skyshatter.

As for the quest, beat it today without any kind of mount speed buff (crusader aura, crop, spurs, carrot, glove enchant, talent). Difficult, but doable.

He seems to have been nerfed quite much last patch, you don't need to be as close to him as before, it's a lot more forgiving now. You don't need to know his path to be able to complete this quest after this fix. Presumably he now has the same range requirement as the other flyers.

Kommentar von auxiliry

He is the same as he was before 2.3. Nothing has changed, same distance, etc.

Kommentar von 137856

As of 2.3

Noggenfogger elixir will not affect the hitbox of the original size of your character, I've tried using the potion and I seem to get knocked off even though I am too small to get hit by the fireballs but I'm just beside it

The best way to complete this quest is to stay behind him, at the side while flying above so you can easily watch the fireballs. You need to memorise the path if you do not have crusader aura.

An alternative would be to get a head start and stay that way throughout.

Do not ever stick behind him, cross his path or try to suddenly get infront of him as you'll get hit by the fireballs even if they do not seem to hit you.

I easily defeated Skyshatter on my very first try with no speed enhancing items or auras.

I just stayed about 20 yards behind and slightly below him for the entire race, cutting corners whenever he turned to keep from falling too far behind. The meteors are amazingly easy to avoid compared to Mulverick's crazy arcane bombs.

Kommentar von Laniax

easy quest imo, just stay behind him and abit under him, so u can see the meteors comming and as soon as they come just flying through the meteor.. did it on my third attempt (first 2 whas with him phasing >.>)

only used crop

Kommentar von 156548

Took me about 3 or 4 hours to complete this quest. The Youtube "How to" is very nice. Completed it with a Riding Crop. Try to stay infront of him instead of behind him. If you do you wont get hit by the meteors he throws. Good luck all :)

Kommentar von Garenvinci

Takes him approximately one minute and 20 seconds from clicking Accept to him actually taking off for the race.

Kommentar von Asthmatic

For those who dont have any +mount speed enchants/trinkets/etc. :
(Get ready for some work if you don't want to lose your money on Riding Crop, this won't be too easy)

1. Practice some flights to remember his path (it's always the same)
2. Try to stay above, in front of him, not behind, as he will get loss quite fast if you're trying to chase him
Get ready for U turns and don't get too close to him!
3. Avoid meteors, but ! do not strafe much, as this slows you a lot.
4. Max camera range and Alt+Z will help a bit (helped me to concentrate on flight)

Hope you'll find this useful, good luck!

Edited due to some grammar corrections.

Just get the broom from hallows end so if you fall off you can get back on without hitting the floor.

Kommentar von Saldar

I spent about 2 hours trying to do this quest as a hunter at level 80. I have a 310% mount but it doesn't matter because when you get to the ledge your mount changes into a 280% nether drake. This quest is NOT possible at level 80 unless you are an unholy DK, a paladin or have a paladin in your group that can buff your speed.

Kommentar von 124192

reminds me abit of LoZ ocarina of time, the race to get your horse

Kommentar von 468951

Ridiculously nerfed now, as with the bombing runs in Blade's Edge, the fire no longs dismounts you. here it doesn't even damage you.

Kommentar von 426136

Very poorly done quest. He runs into his own meteors half of the time slowing him down, putting you ahead of him, but you have to then wait for him to start flying again. Meteors still dismount you. You take no damage from meteors. There is barely any nerf; dismounting you being the main factor of difficulty as supposed to being killed by meteor damage. Just a really poorly done quest and I think Blizzard should re-do it.

Kommentar von 295117

Make sure you've got a green connection with above 12 fps for this quest or you've no chance of doing it. He reverses so often you lag, you fail.

Kommentar von 203735

I really wish I'd completed this on my main before losing the benefit of my riding crop. If at all possible work on this before you lose use of that as well.

Kommentar von 573904

i just did it a few moments ago was expecting it to be way harder but its even easier then mulverick (the guy i had problems with for about a year)

Kommentar von wingnut01

Alt Z like the above user said then stay right on him and strafe the fireballs. The distance he has to get in front of you in order for you to fail is much less than earlier quests in the chain.

Kommentar von Alfador

Wish I'd read the comments about it no longer dismounting you before I ran this quest. Apparently, that does not apply to Swift Flight Form--fortunate, then, that druids can pop back in immediately and catch up. I failed this one and Mulverick once each even so. Before that got patched, I reckon druids must have felt pretty mighty regarding this quest. ;)

Kommentar von Golgathoth

I personally think that the races quests were a lot more awesome when you got dismounted from getting hit with a projectile. This time around, it doesn't feel like I'm actually earning my rep, y'know? If you could beat Skyshatter, you were truly epic. Now it just means you've got twitch.

Kommentar von 544233

With the changes in mount scaling that came with 4.0.1, this quest is infinitely easier than before if you have 310% flight speed, as all flyers will move at that pace, the Dragonmaw Netherdrake your mount turns into will move faster than its pre-patch 280% speed.

Kommentar von 661849

i won the second time i tried and it was all thanks to the song live to win from the world of warcraft south park episode :)

Kommentar von Hoegen

It's pretty nerfed now.
Heres what I did.
1: Raid marked Skyshatter so he sticks out like a sore thumb.
2: Zoomed all the way in.
3: Alt+z to remove anything distracting.

Then I just flew right at his arse hehe. Just keep flying directly towards him, alter your course slightly to cut corners, and avoid the worst of the fire. As the fire no longer dismounts you, it's really not that bad to take a bomb or two.

Best of luck!

Kommentar von Gadoink4

I wish the mount he rode was obtainable ingame.

Kommentar von 861345

Just did this quest and failed because the meteor hit caused a dismount. I was over the edge of the cliff next to the Dragonmaw airfield when it hit, and I fell to my death. Was rezzed at the Black Temple entrance.

Did the game change when I wasn't looking, or is this a fluke? I know I didn't hit any keys to dismount, as I was just using the mouse.

Kommentar von Fyler

With 310% flight speed, plus the Level 3 Guild Perk, "Mount up" equals a total of 331% flight speed. This makes it super easy to dodge his meteors, plus getting back behind/over him is also easier. I just did this quest earlier today, and got hit multiple times by the meteor and was NOT dismounted. I counted at least 5 times being hit. I found it to be a little lolmode but nonetheless, got it completed! Hope this helps.

Kommentar von Skullhawk13

Can alliance do his quests? I know it says they can't, but I'm wondering if all players are just tagged as horde while in orc form
