This is a daily from the Temple of the Jade Serpent. Your job is to put out fires using a dragon (found to the left of the door as you exit) that spits water. There are a couple of quirks in the quest.

The fires are sha-colored, silver and white, rather than red in any way. They look like evil magic swirling around the base of trees.

The dragon can only breathe water that it has collected, so you must find a pure spring of water for it to gather before you can put out a fire. The springs are easy to find, they are bright blue pools in any of the water in the Temple area. However, collecting them can be glitchy. When you get close to them, they burst upward and the dragon collects the water. In order for this to happen, the water has to hit you, the player, rather than the dragon's mouth. If the water hits the dragon's head, you won't be able to use your ability. Instead, aim for the dragon's belly and the quest will proceed more smoothly.

You can take multiple shots per pool if you quickly use the water ability and then, before it finishes casting, hit the fire button again. You get the targeting mark and can fly around a bit looking for another fire to put out as long as you don't click anything (use arrow keys to move, I mean.) If you're very fast you can get three shots out of one pool, but two is more reasonable.

In case you missed it, you need to hop on the War Serpent right outside of the little hut you get the quest.

When putting out the flames, make sure you are not trying to douse the black/grey circles on the ground that the Lingering Doubts spawn out of. Those aren't the fire. The fire is whitish/bluish/greyish/blackish flames that flicker and are relatively large and easy to spot.

Also, you can only hold one water blast before you can get another. So get one and use it. Rinse and repeat.

I found that flying over them then walking/riding backwards into the water worked really well when trying to collect it.

You can actually spit the mouthwash twice, and here's how: move to a location with two sha fires, spit on one and, while the mouthwash is in the air, target and spit at another one.
Or, you can target while already spitting elsewhere, but spit again once the first "load" is already in the air.
This way you only need to collect the water from the pools 3 times, instead of 6.
This double spitting is possible because the dragon loses the pool water from its mouth only when the first "watery missile" hits the ground.
Maybe, if you fly high enough, you can hit 3 sha fires, I haven't tested that.

Thanks to the poor hit box placement for the water hitting the war serpent, you need to give you're war serpent a pure spring water enema to charge your water cannon, stick it's back legs in the spring and you'll charge the cannon every time.

Comment by andreicmello

You only lose the water "charge" when the spit hits the flame, so if you're fast enough you can use the same water charge in 2 or even 3 flames!

Comment by Aisenfaire

You can put out as many as 4 fires with 1 mouthful of water (personal experience).

1. Find a spot with more than 1 fire within reach.
2. Hit 1 + click the targeting circle on a fire.
3. IMPORTANT: Once you click, your character will then start casting the water cannon spell. While it is casting, you must hit 1 + click the targeting circle on the next fire. Then while that one is casting, you hit 1 + click the next fire.

As long as you place the targeting circle on a fire while the previous spell is still casting, it should work. (I believe people with higher latency may have an advantage here)

Smells like a wheel of time reference, considering the quest name. Plus, you're riding a dragon for the quest.

For fun to fly underwater, see the screenshot for an example. You could fly down into the edge of some of the steeper banks and submerge. The mount should point downward with the tail upward to submerge. You can still collect pools while underwater.

Did anyone get this quest before having Cloud Serpent Riding? I got mine yesterday and got this quest for the first time today.

Comment by 1084124

You do not need cloud serpent riding to complete this quest. I did it today on my mage and she doesn't even have the rep with the cloud serpents yet.

Comment by DeliaDelilah

FYI- It may take more than one "dip" into the water pool to gather enough water to energize the ability each time.

Comment by corners

If you take max distance shots you can take 2 shots at once before the first one hits.

So find 2 fires first, back up to max range, fire on one, and as its channeling aim for the second fire and fire a soon as the first shot is off.

Also, after the first few fires i did not have to refuel as much in the stream as i did the first couple annoying times.

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)
