TheWoWDBThis is one of those daily quests that makes you wonder why Blizzard didn't deem it worthy of phasing. As it is, you almost feel sorry for the nightmare creatures that dare to spawn, just to be greeted by a dozen of people waiting to throw bombs at them.
Only tip I can give: if you see someone right in front of you get onto the bat, wait a few moments before doing the same, otherwise you'll be fighting for their scraps.

If you are unable to find the mount to start the quest,fly to /way 63.55 41.62. It is the Subdued Nightwing that you will see there.
This is a nightmare to try and complete on Legion Remix, I usually just get instantly disconnected when trying to ride the Subdued Nightwing.
It worked after the 3rd attempt, after dismounting and waiting briefly before trying again.
