TheWoWDBLiterally the absolute worst quest I've ever encountered in BFA.
Maybe actually the worst I've encountered since WoD.
How the ^&*! am I supposed to play this? Most of them are in places I have basically no chance of reaching without flying, and I can't find anything in the area that would help me bring them down. Bad quest. Should be fixed or deleted.
Edit: I'll also add that this quest doesn't seem like it was even trying to do anything new or different. Only thing creative about this quest is how uniquely difficult and frustrating the mobs were to find and pull. I also loved how they had like a 50% dropchance on the quest item. Just the cherry on top of the trashcan.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This is a terribly designed quest, even with flying and a ranged character. There are just not enough rays within the proscribed area, and if you step even one foot outside of it the WQ disappears and the same exact ray then has 0% chance of a drop. To add insult to injury, the ones within the area also seem to have only about a 20-25% chance to drop. Needs tuning.
You need to kill the ones in the air. The clickable ones on the ground don't count.
