Just use the pendant next to the quest giver and you'll be turned into a stormcrow. You do not get to control the movemnts of the bird so if you need to AFK for a minute or two, now is the time. When you get back you'll be able to turn in the quest, no work required. :)

Comment by Frei

For thouse who dosnt know what to do on this quest:
When you accept the quest you will be recived Stormcrow Amulet, just right-click it and you will complete the quest after that "your" bird has came back..

Comment by apparentbliss

Leads to "Balance Must Be Preserved" ( http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9720 ).

Comment by lysander

If you're a priest in shadowform, once you're transformed back, your shadowform effect will not blacken you.

All you do is right click the amulet she gives you and you fly on a controled path. Takes about 2 minutes and is a cool easy 7800 exp. Enjoy it!

Comment by Agrithnaar

Another of those stupidly easy quests with a nice experience reward, so there is really no reason to skip this (Unless you have a fear of Stormcrows... )

/yawn... is the emote for this quwest

Comment by 65842

As soon as you get the amulet, use it. You'll be turned into a crow and will not be able to control your character for 2 and a half minutes. During your flight Ysiel comments on the naga who are pumping water out of the lake.
No effort required

Comment by Dennace

Very difficult quest! I think Blizzard but this one in just to annoy people, it takes a while to complete and heck load of effort...
/sarcasm
Just right click the amulet when you get it and go AFK unless you want to watch the flight which takes around 2 mins.

Comment by 86613

One of the easier quests in my opinion.
Ysiel gave me the amulet and i just randomly clicked on it, Fwoop i was a bird! All i had to do was sit there for about 2 minutes and stare at a black bird.

Make sure you are right beside the quest giver or it wont let u transform. :)

Comment by 64664

Another one of Blizzards silly quests that gives loads of experience in TBC compared to what would take about 30 minutes of questing in Azeroth. :/

Comment by 28563

If you log out as soon as you get the Complete message, and then log back in, you'll be standing beside the quest giver. It's not much time saved, but seems like a bonus if you're impatient and tired of sitting not doing anything.

Comment by 119204

When the quest was done I spawned inside the Inn inside a table and had to HS to Shatt to get out. Really slick.

Comment by Hacardos

This is what she says during flight:

"Ysiel Windspringer whispers: It's just like the structure you described at Umbrafen Lake. Does this mean the naga are pumping water out of all the lakes in Zangarmarsh?"

Comment by 113107

Small bug - If you put the quest item in your bank, and try to abandon the quest and grab it again (in an attempt to not have to go back to your bank to get it), the quest giver does not give you a new quest item (the one in your bank persists) and you have to go back to your bank and get it before you can begin the flight.

Comment by James4116

all i did was sit back and enjoyed the ride because u dont have to do any thing just use the potion by the qs giver en off you go free xp really coz you dont do nothin :D

Comment by 174981

Here's what she said to me during the flight.

"It's just like the structure you described at Umbrafen Lake. Does this mean the naga are pumping water out of all the lakes in Zangarmarsh?"
"The naga are even pumping the water out of their own lake! What purpose could that possibly serve?"
"There! Those pipes all appear to be connected to that structure. It can't possibly fit all the water they've been stealing. Where are they keeping it?"

Comment by Googla

less talk, more cords ;)

Comment by 163840

Comment by Farmbuyer

Death Knights should cast Path of Frost just before using the amulet; the visual effect of the Path as you fly around in crow form is pretty sweet looking.

Ysiel Windsinger whispers: The naga are even pumping the water out of their own lake! What purpose could that possibly serve?

Ysiel Windsinger whispers: There! Those pipes all appear to be connected to that structure. It can't possibly fit all the water they've been stealing. Where are they keeping it?

Ysiel Windsinger whispers: What we saw explains what happened in the Dead Mire. There was a lake here once. If we don't stop the naga, all of the marsh will soon look like this!

Is what she said to me.

Comment by 264956

Thats so weird... all she said to me is how she likes short bearded men. I just didn't get it...

Comment by 285349

very easy quest (don't have to kill mobs)

Comment by Kinarth

I just did this on my Paladin and it looks like Crusader Aura makes you move faster.
A nice way to shorten the quest.

Comment by 217818

There are something still bothering me.
She said "Ysiel Windsinger whispers: What we saw explains what happened in the Dead Mire. There was a lake here once. If we don't stop the naga, all of the marsh will soon look like this!"
But how long we need to wait for all of lake in Zangarmash will be drained..D:

p/s : TBC have been opened since 2006, if I not mistaken.

Comment by Ooko

Most pointless quest ever.

Comment by 338658

Not only does it look like a dildo, but it turns you into a bird.
I could use one of these IRL.

Comment by 389814

on silver Hand she isnt giving out the item,... quest is unusable :(

Comment by Lifelight

For my fellow trivia junkies, the phrase "as the crow flies" is an idiom referring to the shortest route between any two points. Just thought I'd mention that since nobody's pointed it out yet.

Comment by 697027

Is it just me or does this "amulet" look like a penis with arms?

Comment by Lotteri

I logged out when i was doing the flight and logged back on the next then... I dont think my Tauren was happy....

Comment by Blackboy0

As you are flying around Zangarmarsh:

Ysiel Windsinger whispers: It's just like the structure you described at Umbrafen Lake. Does this mean the naga are pumping water out of all the lakes in Zangarmarsh?
Ysiel Windsinger whispers: The naga are even pumping the water out of their own lake! What purpose could that possibly serve?
Ysiel Windsinger whispers: There! Those pipes all appear to be connected to that structure. It can't possibly fit all the water they've been stealing. Where are they keeping it?
Ysiel Windsinger whispers: What we say explains what happened in the Dead Mire. There was a lake here once. If we don't stop the naga, all of the marsh will soon look like this?

Comment by Mollification

The balcony is at 78,62 in Zangarmarsh. Use the Stormcrow Amulet at this location.

It seems to sometimes have a glitch where your character is simply floating through the air in a sitting position. However it still works and will allow you to complete the quest.

Comment by WoWGnGP

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

1. As the Crow Flies
• Accept the quest, As the Crow Flies, from Ysiel Windsinger at coords 78.4, 62.0 (Cenarion Refuge).
• Use the Stormcrow Amulet, you were provided to turn into a crow.
• The crow will automatically fly you to the various lakes of Zangarmarsh, and return you to Cenarion Refuge once the quest has been completed.
• Turn in the quest to Ysiel Windsinger.

Comment by AMgamer94

Found a funny bug for druids. if you use the item you get in Bird form. you'll fly around in your humanoid form, just sitting on the air! XD

Comment by TamiayTheGnome

Ysiel must spend a lot of time wondering why people just stand still behind her for a while after returning. Then often sitting down.

Links

As the Crow Flies

Ysiel Windsinger wants you to use the Stormcrow Amulet to explore the major lakes in Zangarmarsh.

	Stormcrow Amulet (Provided) (1)
	Lakes of Zangarmarsh Explored (1)

Description

We must determine how widespread the naga's activity truly is and react accordingly.

Exploring each body of water in Zangarmarsh could be a lengthy undertaking. If you allow me to, I will use my magic to mold your shape to one more suited to scouting the marsh.

Hold this amulet above the balcony near me when you're ready to begin. I will guide your way back to safety after we're done.
