Description

This is it. You've passed all the tests of the Hyldsmeet... all but one. You've risen among our sisters' best and fiercest.

The final test is at hand. The Drakkensryd - the true test of a Hyldnir's worth and warrior spirit. It'll be you, your riding drake, a chained harpoon and a score of your sisters vying for dominance.

Show no quarter. None will be expected.

Yes, the Drakkensryd is easily the most visually spectacular Kill X of Y quest in the game. When you pick it up from [npc=29796], she will hand you a [item=41058] and pack you off on a proto-drake. The drake will fly west to the Temple of Storms, which rests on a very tall mountain peak. There you will enter formation with other riders, doing laps around the temple itself. At this point, dismounting is inadvisable, as there's no parachute.

To begin the quest itself, target a [npc=29625] (not a [npc=29694]), and use your harpoon. This will launch you to the back of the drake, where you and its rider will fight. So, yeah, there you are, on the back of a dragon, a mile above the ground, battling to the death. When you defeat your opponent, she falls to her doom, arms and legs flailing. Continue jumping from dragon to dragon until you've killed all ten, and when you're done, use your harpoon on a [npc=29754]. That will get you into the temple itself, so you can turn in to [npc=29445].

What isn't clear to me, though, is how ranged classes, especially hunters, would manage it. You can't get more close quarters than this.
