Alright folks. Hold up your lighters for Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird:"
♪ If I leave here tomorrow ♫
♫ Would you still remember me? ♪
♪ For I must be traveling on, now ♫
♫ Cause there's too many places I've got to see ♪
♪ But, if I stayed here with you, girl ♫
♫ Things just couldn't be the same ♪
♪ Cause I'm as free as a bird now ♫
♫ And this bird you can not change ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♫
♫ And this bird you can not change ♪
♪ And this bird you can not change ♫
♫ Lord knows, I can't change ♪
Second time I've done this world quest, and after I shoot down the wicker charms the camera takes on a weird effect, it's like it starts lagging behind my toon's movements by a second or so. This effect persists after a /reload. Unsure what's going on there, it is a cool effect don't get me wrong but logging out may fix it.
I have just had the most unpleasant time trying to do this quest. Can someone please tell me where to stand so that I am not attacked every five seconds?
I have no chance at all of getting the wicker in target, before a falcon or falconeer attacks me.
