It allows you to fly even in Silvermoon City. Sometimes a bit tricky to navigate since some of the towers seem to vanishonce you're up in the skies, but you get a very nice look once up on one of those pretty bridges.

Just wish that thi thing could become a permanent Engineer-Gimmick in the future...

Who says you cant fly in Draenor? After 3 seconds you'll be blasted in direction of rocket which depends what way you are looking at. After 60 seconds the rocket will explode, sadly you'll be facing earth when falling due to no parachute. Damn goblins. Also speed of rocket seems very slow after first few seconds of launch. Rocket moves in all directions. Lovely item! Too bad it isnt in engineering proffesion.

Also usable by party members. :)

Was riding one and jumped out when the explosion started...now I have the explosion animation every time I login or hearth. Anyone else seen this?

The rocket can't be used under or in water :c

I should try setting one on top of the Flight Master in Ashran. /grin

Useful for reaching some of the rares/treasures in Nagrand if you're not looking to spend time either trekking to the stationary glider camps or picking up the Goblingleiterbausatz.

Keep the initial burst of speed in mind (give yourself distance from your target), as well as the hop you make when ejecting from the rocket, so you can plan out a safe landing. The ejection effect does seem to be negated if you do so in a tight space, but you'll still need to be accurate on your placement. The benefit of actual steering can far outweigh those negatives though, and you've got a decent amount of time to correct your flight path instead of being completely out of luck with the gliders if you're off-target.

Good luck, rocketeers!

Found out that you can place multiple rockets down at once, and tried to set up rockets for fast travel around my garrison. Turns out they disappear when you log off though.

Awesome gadget. I was able to fly from my garrison in Frostfire Ridge to Ashran starting with the rocket, then using Personentransportsystem "Himmelsschreck", finally landing with a parachute :)

This is AMAZING. The name sums it up so well, because xD is what my face is doing every time I take off and whizz across the landscape!

This item comes from the Gnomish Gearworks / Goblin Workshop and you pick up a stack of 2 at a time from the workbench. They have a negligible cooldown (5 seconds) so you can place more than one at once, and also, as with most of the workshop items, you can go back and pick up a new stack after you have used them.

When you use it, a launcher platform and rocket is placed on the ground (it looks similar to the rockets in Azshara) and you need to click on this again to use it. At this point, you are seen climbing onto the rocket and you get a countdown in the middle of your screen: 3, 2, 1, Blast Off!

In the first 5 seconds or so of flight, your rocket speeds forward very fast, but it is difficult to change direction. You CAN, however, easily point it up or down to gain or lose height and to avoid obstacles. After the first 5-10 seconds, you cruise along for the rest of the 60 seconds at a fairly decent speed (I'd estimate faster than ground mount but slower than fast flying mount?) in a perfectly steerable rocket. Yay for flying mounts in Draenor! :D

A couple of warnings...

60 seconds flight is all you get. After this the rocket explodes and you plummet to the ground. 60 seconds isn't that long.... watch the timer and be ready to either land close to the ground or pop something to break your fall!

You don't get a parachute, so you'd better come prepared with either some sort of slowfall spell or engineering gizmo otherwise it WILL hurt.

Despite these limitations, You can fly to pretty much anywhere within a zone with this, particularly if you take some precautions, and even further with a few modifications...

Tips to fly further...

If you are lucky enough to get this AND the Personentransportsystem "Himmelsschreck", you can pop the Skyterror just as the timer on the rocket ends, which can really blast you across the continent.
Personally I ALWAYS use my Goblin Glider tinker, and with this item it's really REALLY useful. As your rocket is nearing the end of the timer, use it to fly up as high as you can, then pop your glider when the rocket explodes. This won't get you as far as the Skyterror, but it'll gain you quite a distance. You can definitely get across a zone using this method.

And the best part?
This is usable by anyone ~~in your party~~, so you can plant them for your friends to use. Brilliant if they need help to get up someplace high for a chest or whatever, or just for fun. And, because of the short CD on the item you can place many down at once so that you can fly over Draenor together with your friends :D Yay for engineering!

Overall, a wonderful, wonderful item, like most of the Workshop/Gearworks inventions :D

Happy flying!

There is no greater joy than setting these up in inconspicuous spots and watching random passers by hop on, only to be flung far away.

Kommentar von benx2011

You will fall to death if you fly high when this thing expires.

Kommentar von fadeaway

~~You can set these down in lowbie zones and watch unsuspecting level 10's rocket off into the sunset.~~

Legion Edit 09/20/2016: This item (along with other inventor building items) no longer works in any zones outside of WoD.

After getting this item I had a bugged crash animation playing after every load screen (logging in, hearthing, entering a dungeon, etc). I wasn't able to fix it with any of the usual stuff (/reload, rename WTF, disable addons, move the building plot), so I ticketed a GM:

I hear you are having some problems with an explosion animation and I'm truly sorry for any trouble this has caused you thus far :(

I took a look at things and it appears that your Goblin had a hidden buff that somehow did not clear! Luckily I was able to go ahead and rid him of that buff and he should be all set now ^_^

I would guess that this means you can solve the problem just by using the rocket one more time, but if you don't have one spawned anymore just ticket a GM like I did.

Thought I'd share for anyone else having this issue.

I was the first ever to fly in timeless isle today. See screenshot muaddib.

Kommentar von Barleduq

Note: You cannot use the spacebar to go up. If you do, you just go in a tight loop however high you were when you started.

o.O LOOPTILOOPS!

Kommentar von SpareSimian

Can be used to jump over the barrier in Der dunkle Zauberfoliant: Die Barriere durchbrechen and recover the grimoire. You do need to hop once over one strand of the barrier to get credit for that. Then hop back out of the cave and use the rocket to fly over the whole puzzle.

Kommentar von Savahaxx

This lets you fly over Silvermoon City, but prepare for a buggy experience.

Kommentar von Alfa

This is a must have for Legion. It flies you for 1 minute but will probably see it nerfed at some time.
