Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Drag 'em DownTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

  A single Dragonmaw drake is worth a dozen Wildhammer gryphon-riders. Take them off of their lice-ridden birds and they're nothing. Even you can slay them easily, Horde-<class>. Hunt gryphon riders flying over the river north of Bloodgulch. Take this hook and fling it at them as they fly by.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Bait and ThrottleTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

  You can hold your own on the ground, <name>. I'll give you that. But we Dragonmaw dominate the skies as well as land. Until you can prove to me you can handle a drake as well as a Dragonmaw, your Horde is nothing to me. Let's see if you can wrangle one back to Bloodgulch. First you'll need bait.
