You'll lose your yaks if you do this quest with your dragonflying mount, and have to go back to tell Muskpaw you lost them so he can give you more. Just regular flying is as good as you can use with this quest.

What to do
Description
I wasn't lying about your reward. Here, take these washed yaks to the grummle caravan master Eightcoins. You can find him at the Grummle Bazaar west of here. He'll credit us and give you a delivery fee. He may be short, but he is our biggest customer. Return to me if you lose the yaks. More often than not they just come right back here anyway. Once they've been cleaned that is.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Yakity Yak
For now, the yaungol invaders seem content to steal yaks. Surveying the area, however, you notice they could easily move on the Yak Wash at any moment. Thinning their numbers may help show the yaungol that this area is protected.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Path Less Traveled
The toughest roads often have the most to teach us, <class>. I will no doubt learn a great deal from following the path of Shaohao. Many years ago Shaohao traveled to the highest peak in Kun-Lai to seek the guidance of the Jade Serpent. I too will travel to Seeker's Point in search of wisdom.
