Sha ' tari Skyguard The " Sha ' tari Skyguard " are an air wing of the Sha ' tar of Shattrath City , defending the capital from attackers in the hills as well as battling against the arakkoa of Terokk in the peaks of Skettis . The Skyguard has two outposts , one in the northern reaches of the Skethyl Mountains and one near Ogri ' la . Players start out at neutral standing with the Skyguard . Reputation . Players start out with the Sha ' tari Skyguard . Rewards . Exalted reputation yields the availability of nether ray mounts . These are epic mount s , so players will need Artisan riding skill in order to accept / complete them . Note : Unlike the daily Netherwing quests to obtain a nether drake mount , you only need Expert riding skill to do the Sha ' tari Skyguard quests , however , having an Epic Flying mount will make some of the daily quests much easier . Faction NPCs will give compliments when players are nearby . Take note that since patch 2 . 3 players get a 10 % faction discount for being with the Skyguard , a 15 % discount at , and a 20 % discount at . This means that an player will only have to pay for the mount and not . Quests . The Sha ' tari Skyguard have two major quest hubs . Both have daily and normal quests . Blackwind Landing , Terokkar Forest ( 3660 Reputation ) . The first quest for Blackwind Landing starts in Shattrath City near the Flightmaster . Skyguard Outpost , Blade ' s Edge Mountains ( 1720 Reputation ) . You must complete 2 quests in Ogri ' la before you can start the Skyguard Outpost quests . The first is Ogri ' la , Blade ' s Edge Mountains ( 850 Reputation ) . Some of the Ogri ' la quests provide dual rep with Sha ' tari Skyguard . Detailed . Players are introduced to the Sha ' tari Skyguard by speaking with Yuula , found next to in Shattrath City . Yuula gives a quest that has the player kill any 20 Gordunni Ogres in the Barrier Hills above Shattrath City . Once complete , she asks the player to deliver a package to Sky Sergeant Doryn at Blackwind Landing , north of Skettis , to open up the once - daily bombing run quest . Also at Blackwind Landing , Skyguard Handler Deesak has players kill 10 Warp Stalkers within Skettis so a Nether Ray in your possession can be fed . He also indicates the availability of a direct flightpath between Blackwind Landing and the Skyguard base in Blade ' s Edge Mountains . The flight path becomes available at . It is a flight on a random colored nether ray to just north of Ogri ' la . There is also a soloable daily escort quest offered by a Skyguard Prisoner found in one of three cages atop the trees in Skettis . Two of them are located up north on the east and west sides of the lake . The third is southeast of the lake in Lower Veil Shil ' ak , near a large tree that is marked on the map . The platform the cage spawns at is a covered platform connected by one hanging bridge to another tree with an open , uncovered platform . A Skyguard Prisoner respawns at any of the three locations right when the prisoner from a previous escort completes and / or despawns . The reward for it is . Terokk chain . Severin initiates the main questline for the Sha ' tari Skyguard which has the player collect 6 to create an for Sky Commander Adaris . After the initial quest , players may continue to turn in a 6 Shadow Dust for another Elixir of Shadows and 150 reputation with the Skyguard . The elixir gives a 20 minute buff ( which lasts through death ) that enables the player to see the shadow arakkoa of Skettis , which is necessary for several quests . Adaris has players kill three Talonpriests : Ishaal , Skizzik , and Zellek . Talonpriest Ishaal drops the quest item , lootable by everyone in the party , that initiates the next part of the chain . Like the Time - Lost arakkoa , the Talonpriests require the player to have the Elixir of Shadows buff to be able to see them . The almanac dropped by Talonpriest Ishaal is turned in to Adaris . He sends players to the Lower City arakkoa and then back to Adaris . At this point , Hazzik , the captive Arakkoa next to Adaris , whispers the player for their attention . He has players collect his package from his former home in Upper Veil Ala ' rak to acquire a in order to buy a book from Sahaak in Terokk ' s Rest . Once Hazzik has the book , he starts the group quest . The quest requires at least 40 s , which drop from the Time - Lost Arakkoa . For every 10 scrolls , the player can summon and kill one of the 4 required quest mobs . On completion of Adversarial Blood , Hazzik gives the player a Time - Lost Offering , used to summon Terokk at Terokk ' s Rest , the island in the middle of Blackwind Lake . Adaris will also give the quest , which has the player kill Terokk . It is recommended to have 5 people ( or more outside the party to help ) as acquiring the Time - Lost Offering is a significant investment and it is consumed by the summoning . Terokk hits moderately hard , cleaves , and does an AOE Shadowbolt . At approximately 25 % , he will become immune to all damage . The Skyguard will begin to drop blue smoke flares , followed by firebombs , onto the island . Terokk must be led to the flames to remove his shield and make him damageable . However , he will also enrage and hit substantially harder . When Terokk is dead , the player may return to Adaris and complete the quest . Adversarial Blood can be repeated by turning in the required quest items to Hazzik for another Time - Lost Offering . Even if one player uses their Time - Lost Offering and fails , another party member can use theirs and everyone can get credit for the kill . As of the current patch ( 3 . 3 ) , Hazzik rewards two Time - Lost Offering on the initial turn - in . Bash ' ir Landing Raid . Once every two hours , a group of Skyguard will launch an attack from the Skyguard base at Ogri ' la to Bash ' ir Landing . Once the attack is underway , several Skyguard NPCs will engage the mobs at Bash ' ir landing , and a series of NPC vendors will appear . The items provided by the vendors increase in quality as the attack is maintained , until eventually the entire area is wiped out by a large number of elite attackers . How long will it take ? Doing nothing but the repeatable daily quests , it will take you 37 days to max out your Skyguard reputation from . To speed things up , it ' s a good idea to do the other quests when possible . It is possible to get 27 , 000 Skyguard reputation in about 13 hours . Farm all of the mobs in Skettis , turn in the repeatable shadow elixir quest and once under the effects of the elixir , farm the time - lost mobs for time - lost scrolls , used to summon some mini - bosses around the area . Once these bosses are killed , you can turn in their claws / beaks for 350 rep , and you will be given a time - lost offering , this is used to summon Terokk , who when killed gives you 500 rep . Complete this process over and over again and you will have roughly 2k + rep / hr . As of 21 / 10 / 2010 , Patch 4 . 0 . 1 : Using the above method , with a retribution specced paladin with GS ~ 4700 ( and a bit of focus ) , it was possible to generate approx . 6k rep an hour . AS of 6 / 6 / 2011 , Patch 4 . 1 . 0a : Using the above method , with a level 85 Hunter spec BM with 6000 DPS , you can go from neutral to exalted in about 8 hours . Don ' t bother with the Blade ' s Edge Mountains quests . Just do the " gathering " quests in Terokkar Forest . Make sure before going into this that you empty your bags as much as you can , the more space the longer you can grind rep before turning in . Shattrath City is a few minutes away to dump goodies into your bank or AH . I went with 76 open slots . You will collect a lot of netherweave cloth and light feather , which in turn is going to fill up your bags faster than you will think . Also you will get a lot of random armor and weapons most of which don ' t seem to sell very well at AH ( at least on my server ) . Make sure you kill and loot everything , The giant elite walking trees give 30 rep , everything else gives 10 rep and the little birds give 5 rep till your honored then for some reason they don ' t give any rep . Plus if your a skinner the warp stalkers around here drop fel hide at a rate of about 25 % . AS of 7 / 6 / 2011 , Patch 4 . 2 . 0 : As like the above , Using the above method as a Level 85 Demo Spec Warlock ( 8 . 7k DPS ) , it was an easy neutral to exalted in roughly 7 1 / 2 hours . Like mentioned , don ' t bother with the Blade ' s Edge Quest . A simple farming loop around the southeast area of Skettis . Continuously looting 6 from the loop will allow you to turn in the repeatable quest for 185 Rep per turn in . ( 42000XP / 185 Rep = 226 Turn - ins from * to : ) . Using the Elixir of Shadows from the quest You can loot From the mobs in the area . Every 10 Time - Lost Scroll Will allow you to summon 1 of 4 " Mini - Boss ' s " . After killing the 4 " Mini - Boss ' s " You can turn the Items dropped from the mobs into the Quest Giver Hazzik in Exchange for Time - Lost Offering . The item Time - Lost Offering will allow you to kill the " Main Boss " of the area Terokk . Terokk Can be killed for 550 Rep . Overall , this will take you anywhere between 6 - 8 hours of grinding , and will net you approximately , plus the Sell value of the massive amounts of Skyguard comments . As with some other factions , reaching with the Sha ' tari Skyguard will cause their NPCs to greet you when within their vicinity . Just as several quotes are references to " Top Gun " , at the Skyguard Outpost landing pad the Skyguard Navigator above the pad keeps drinking from a mug . They will occasionally walk over to the ledge overlooking the pad . As they stand there , a trio of Skyguard Scouts will fly right above their head , startling them :
