How to get Neutral with Netherdrake (Netherdrake Epic Mount Quest Starter)
A list by Greengoo

1. Kindness
- Kill 8 Rocknail Flayers, Use Carcasses to Feed 8 Dragons (don't move!). Also make sure to travel a bit when laying the meat, as the same drakes won't eat twice in a row.

2. Seek Out Neltharaku
- Fly on your mount and find Neltharaku, he patrols slowly around Dragonmaw about a few hundred feet up. You'll have to be about 5 yards UNDER him to talk to him.

3. Neltharaku's Tale
- Listen to story.

4. Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress
- Kill 15 of any type of orcs in the fortress.

5.To Netherwing Ledge!

6. The Force of Neltharaku
- Free 5 Dragons by using the item on them, then killing the orcs they agro.

7. Karynaku
- Find Karynaku, she's the second story of the fortress.

8. Zuluhed the Whacked
- Kill Zuluhed and recover the key. I recommend pulling him inside so as to avoid the archers, and kill him BEFORE he summons his add. Use the key he drops to free Karynaku.

- Return to Mordenai, you will immediately gain 42,000 rep and become neutral.
