Description
Hey, {name}. I'm glad I caught you! I have a very important mission! Here is a nether-weather vane. I need you to take some in flight readings for me and deliver them to my cousin in Ruuan Weald. Speak with Rally and take a Zephyrium Capacitorium flight to Ruuan Weald. While you're flying, spin the vane! After you land, bring the spinning vane to O'Mally Zabnabber. Good luck, {name}. And don't delay!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Test Flight: Razaan's Landing
<name>, I raised the efficiency of the Zephyrium Capacitorium by 30 percent. That will launch a test subject of your weight and wind drag ratio to new heights! Want to test my theory? This experiment ought to send you near Razaan's Landing. Speak with Rally... he'll get you prepared for launch.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crystal Clear
The damned rock flayers are keeping me from my research down in the Singing Ridge! By digging at the crystals there, with every scratch they are ruining my chances of studying the harmonics of the singing crystals. You look like someone who can help me deal with this problem.
