This needs a single summary
1. Make a Macro
/tar Orgrim's Hammer Scout
/use Dart Gun
/cleartarget
2. Summon your flying mount (Druids use a mount - too annoying to use flight form)
3. Fly to cliffs at 48 51 and wait up in the air
4. Spam your macro whenever something flies close
5. Follow where the body goes, fly down and loot the quest object

This should get you all 6 kills with the minimum of fuss and none of your kills will land in the midst of any mobs. You will not need an epic flying mount, simply spam your macro.

StorylineIcecrown, step 40 of 167
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The Horde is up to something and I don't like it. After the stunt they pulled on the Broken Front, they're capable of anything, and it's up to us to stop it. There's been a flurry of activity in the skies over the Icecrown Glacier, to the west of Aldur'thar and the Ironwall Rampart. Horde scouts and messengers streak in and out on dragonhawks, carrying reports and orders. Take this dart gun and use it to kill the Orgrim's Hammer Scouts. It'll probably work best if you're flying, too.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
