Just to let you know, you do *NOT* get credit for getting on a goat, then knocking people off the mountain.
Tested several times. No joy. :(
Like many of Legion's PvP world quests, this one does not require PvP to complete.
- Party members remain friendly to each other.
- This area is open PvP, which means anyone outside your party is hostile, regardless of faction.
- PvP kills grant 15% progress.
- PvE kills grant 5% progress.
This is one of the more interesting PvP areas (speaking as someone who hates PvP). There are many animals scattered around, and you fight them until they "submit" (they turn green and emote submission). At that point you get a vehicle boarding arrow on them, which you can use or ignore.
Each animal gives you distinct abilities on an extra action button - for instance, the warbear allows you to stand firm against being pulled or knocked back. With the worg, you can leap a long distance onto a target. To my surprise, I found today that there is also a rare named Stormtalon upon which you can fly in the area and attack from the air.
The animals are not at all difficult to fight. In my experience most people opt to cooperate, only hitting each other passively or with AoE.
Druids can maintain their shapeshift while on the animal vehicles; the vehicle just doesn't show, although it would be more fun if it did.
