Steel Gate Patrol

As of 3.0.8 the slow, clunky plane has been replaced by a faster and more agile 'copter.

This quest has always been easy and fun, but now a change has come to the Fjord. For those of us who have been doing it every single day... change is good, at least this one is anyway. Enjoy!

Though it goes grey by level 80, if you're looking to increase your Explorers' League reputation, it's currently the only daily quest available. It does give full reputation at 80, and continues all the way to 999/1000 Exalted, but the gold reward is less than most other dailies.

You may loot the gargoyles you've killed with the plane, but only after you've dismounted. I usually fly to the north of Steel Gate, near the Horde NPCs, and kill the gargoyles as they fly in. They're in tighter formation and usually don't land in the pit itself when they die, which makes for easier looting.

Killing the gargoyles isn't too bad for a little bit of exp either. One thing i noticed is that if you keep flying around in circles or keep moving whilst shooting the gargoyles, their gargoyle strikes will generally miss you. Their ranged attacks will travel to the position they were facing when they began csating, they won't follow you like most spell casts or other ranged attacks do. This makes it possible, if you choose to, to kill them all whilst getting away virtually scratch free.
