When you start this quest, you'll mount up on a [npc=30108]. Fly to the Foot Steppes in the Northeast and look for the [npc=29753] mobs. Your biggest challenge will be catching the things, since they can fly faster than your eagle does. Your preferred prey will be the wyrms who are either roosted on the mountains and rocks or are attacking rhinos. If you find one of those, they're easy pickings. They melee and have a weak frost breath attack, but are no threat to your eagle. If you can't find any who are roosted or distracted, you can catch the fliers by heading them off. They may be faster, but you're much more maneuverable.
Your eagle has three attacks:
- [spell=55936]: This is your basic attack. It does a good deal of damage and has a short cooldown.
- [spell=55951]: It has a thirty second cooldown, but once you use it on a drake, it's as good as dead. When you use it, just hit it once and let your eagle do the rest of the work. It will claw at the drake's head for a few seconds, killing it.
- [spell=55958]: This is your ranged attack (5 - 45 yards). It does a lot of damage and stuns the target, but has a minimum range and a cast time. You can be in motion while you're casting, though.
I always open with a Storm Bolt, and then, if it's up, follow with an Eye Gouge, Swooping if it's not.
If you're a skinner, you may want to hang out in the Foot Steppes, because when multiple people are doing this quest, that whole area will be littered with skinnable corpses.
Though it would be tough to do the quest quickly this way, if you kill the wyrms without using the eagle, you'll get quest credit and will also be able to loot them.
