Blackout (Level 30-35)

Blackout is a quest for level 30-35 in Twilight Highlands. It is step 178 of 236 in the Twilight Highlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Twilight Highlands at 59.1, 69.8. It rewards 3 reward items, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

The Twilight Drakehunters used vicious implements to drag our circling drakes from the sky. Hooks that buried into their scales and held the Twilight secure while they brought our kin to the ground.

We are past the point of peace. Past hope for their redemption. The only mercy we have left to offer the black flight is the oblivion that they so passionately pursue.

Use these hooks to slay the Obsidian Pyrewings to the south. They should allow you much maneuverability in the air if used right.

For those poor classes that require White damage to generate the resources to use Yellow damage attacks (Read: Warriors - Blizzard's love of this class strikes again!) this quest is currently an issue. You are "too far away" to attack the mob upon whose back you are standing (!), ranged attacks don't do enough damage to get through the drake's regen and your friendly local guildmates can't help as the drake is zooming around so fast it can't be hit from the ground. There are 2 work-arounds. First is to group with the aforementioned guild-mate while you both do the quest. You may need to have

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • And the Sky Streaked RedTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    With Deathwing otherwise occupied, we have a grim and daunting task ahead of us, under charge of the queen herself. The black dragonflight is to be wiped out. I would welcome your aid in this, if it is offered. As soon as you are ready, I will send you with the next flight joining the attack.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shining Through the DarkTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    The great petrified tree that lies before us to the south was once a beacon of great life. Our beacon. We lost this forest to the black flight, and it has since been corrupted and petrified. Nearly unredeemable. But all is not without hope. I've brought a powerful tool to begin the healing process.
