TheWoWDBI've done this quest at least 6 times, and every single time the ball goes inside geometry or under the terrain before the 10th ball. It's like it actively tries to find the worst spot possible.

- When you threw the ball the first time, you can mount to make chasing/bouncing easier. (probably with a small delay, otherwise the bouncing might not start correctly)
- You have some control over the ball's bouncing direction by the direction your character is facing, which makes it easier to stay in place and not run through half the Oasis, over hills, and other obstacles.
That is every comment on this page.

Description
This thorntail kit has been begging me for attention all morning. It is quite charming, but I have work I need to get done! I think it needs to burn some energy off. Take this ball and go play with it.
