While you're flying on your mount, use the Blasting Charge on the wiggling eggs (they look like spider eggs) on the tops of the towers.

Commento di Metroshica

Watch out for the birds flying around, they can hamstring you, and if they do enough damage they can knock you off your mount, where you fall to almost certain death.

Commento di Metroshica

This is also one of the Skettis Daily Quests, which you can repeat on a daily basis. You can do 10 Daily Quests a day. Not only do you get rep every time you do this quest, you get gold as well, so it's a easy little money maker each day.

Also, when bombing the eggs, besides the birds you also need to worry about some of the Arakkoa patting around the eggs, as they can cast shadowbolts so try not to get within their range.

Commento di 7536

I got knocked down once by a bird, died. I just fly to the mountains around now or the platforms when they get close to me.

The eggs also sort of tremble, not the ones on the ground and not the egg looking thing on the trees.

I received 10g not 4

Commento di 9160

how come theres no map up with Skettis? just curious,...I can always take a screenshot and submit it.

Commento di 15753

Druids can use flight form on this quest.

Commento di 16373

I added a picture for the screenshots. The eggs look like normal eggs but they are slightly moving and are ontop of the towers you see on the map.

Commento di Carkasjak

Flight form can't be dismounted by the birds.
Pretty neat advantage for us druids :]

Commento di 51374

Ok for whoever doesn't know this yet, IF one of those nasty and ...aahh I hate them, anyway if one of those BIRDS attack you (they fly round the nests) just push space and keep getting up untill u get out of the aggro range... if u learn how to do this fast... birds.. np... but sometimes they just ... do smth that kicks u off the mount... the fall just kills u.

Commento di 6799

i think im just gonna do those bombing runs nekkid :)

Commento di 55629

Go to the SE corner of the Skettis area. There are two trees right near the hills and you can swing back and forth between the two. I even landed on part of the hill to knock out a couple birds to make it even easier. Took me about 5-10 minutes to get the 20.

Commento di Shiza

Can't find them anywhere someone got co-ords?

Commento di Holkin

Daily repeatable quest giving about 11gold and 350 rep (375 human)

Commento di 16896

So, how to unlock this quest? I've done every quest in skettis and I still don't have this one. Do I need to make the Blade Edge ones too?

Commento di 57949

I am having the same problem as Ashram. I did the feed the ray, I have killed the 3 priests and still need to do the summoning part. Not sure if thats why this quest isn't available yet. Any ideas?

Commento di 57949

Ashram i believe i found the answer, we need to do https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=11096 then it gives a follow up quest that leads to doryn who then gives the quest. Will try later today.

It's pretty simple to dodge the birds - their aggro radius is wide but their aggro ALTITUDE is severely limited.

Fly high out of bombing range and align yourself to where you want to bomb, but much too high. Right click your explosive and aim the eggs you want to bomb. When the birds fly under you and out of aggro range, use the X key to lower yourself into bombing range - when your targetting reticle turns green, bomb the eggs quick and hit the spacebar the instant you're done casting to get out of aggro altitude right away. Rinse and repeat.

Commento di 47303

Just a point to notice, on an epic flyer, it seems like the amazing hold-down-spacebar-to-avoid-birds doesn't work as well.

I seem to be hitting the mount ceiling and have the birds still on me occasionally.

Commento di Nabrol

anybody wanna put the cords. down because i cant seem to find any eggs :(

Commento di realmalina

On top of the towers. I found some at:
72,83
73,80
69,74
68,73

Commento di 29281

You need to complete the mini-chain "Threat from Above" ( https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=11096 ) before you can do this quest.

Commento di 60874

Quest is bugged. Bombing eggs getting no credit.

Commento di dlelash

Note that there are also 3 eggs in each of the smaller pointy towers. You have to fly right on top of them to see the eggs.

Commento di 29512

Haha.. theese birds are the most annoying birds in the whole game -.-... can´t bomb 5 eggs before they appear... why don´t >blizz just remove them?

Commento di Andicous

Yes, a good tip UNTIL i reached too high and the bird was still following me... -.-

Commento di occ07

I usually strip down naked to do this quest. That way when the birds beat the f out of you, you don't take durability damage - and spend the gold you would make on this quest on repairs. I end up dieing 3-4 times trying to do this quest.

Commento di zanaxx

rofl nice, strip down never thought of that but good tip haha

Commento di 71408

Just a little tip if you seem to be running out of eggs, most people don't notice this but there are actully eggs in the holes in the "roofs" of the pointy houses on the ground, these are almost never bombed and provied a nice boost if you run out of all the usual easy to spot eggs.

Commento di Alyshea

Little tip, just land the aggro range from the birds get REALLY small and even when they do attack you just simply move away 1-2 yards and wait until they leave :)

Commento di 96127

If you are a tank do this quest in tanking gear since then u can't be knocked off your mount .

Commento di 93047

I don't get it at all, what do you have to do in this quest?

Commento di 106757

as of patch 2.3 flight form can be 'dispelled' by those guys

Commento di Faile

note, you dont have to stand still while the "casting bar" fills up, as long as you dont move out of range it wont interrupt from moving

Commento di 122941

i think egg respawn timer is longer now.. 2min nothing

Commento di 84446

At 70,74 there are 6 that appear on top of the tower. You can just sit there and pop them there. No flying baddies to deal with. Just sit on the North East side and I found it rather relaxing.

Commento di sentry1

Hey is it just me or did you used to get Volatile Healing/Mana potions for this quest pre 2.4?

Commento di Plaything

Just a little tip I've picked up from running this quest-
You know those pesky birds that tend to nock you off your mount and into unescapeable death below?
Well I'm a squishy priest. A reallly squishy priest, so tanking gear is out of the question for me. As soon as you get one of these guys on you, fly as fast as you can to one of those bridges connecting the treetop platforms, OR take the much safer route and make a beeline for the lake. You will fall, take no damage in the water, or very little on a bridge, and be able to kill it without losing durability. The only downside is falling into another mob, but they are caster type ones that you run into most often so they die easily.

(And in a recent patch you can no longer just fly up and make these guys deaggro, sadly.)

Commento di 65622

Another tip for priests and mages - slow fall/levitate works. If you get knocked off your mount you can still cast this. The fall won't kill you then, though depending where you land, mobs will. Still, I'd rather take my chances.

Commento di 162162

how do i get theSkyguard Blasting Charges

Commento di 158305

if you attacked by this birds and can't leave aggro radius, try fly over water. and if you knock out from mount, you fall into water, and don't die.

Commento di 152670

Here is my tactic for doing this quest:

Once you take the quest and fly into Skettis, stay low enough to the ground or water that if you get knocked off, the fall won't kill you. I marked out the positions of two of the kaliri nests, one west and one east of the lake.

Fly as close to the tree as possible, note the positions of the birds as they fly around, then nip up to the nest platform as quickly as possible once it looks clear. Hover directly over the platform, such that if you are knocked off your mount, you'll drop straight onto the platform where you can nuke the bird down without being molested by other mobs - there are none on the nest platforms.

Once you've sorted out any attacking birds, take off and hover two feet above the platform, right next to the eggs, and drop your bomb. The explosion doesn't damage you, so you can hit the eggs point-blank. You must be actually off the platform to drop the bomb -i.e. flying - but hovering two feet above the deck counts as flying, so you can take out the eggs without danger of falling if you get knocked off your mount.

Once you've destroyed all the eggs in one nest, fly vertically down off the nest platform and hug the ground flying over to the other nest; lather, rinse, repeat.

This procedure works for me every time and I have yet to be killed doing this quest. :)

Commento di 93865

This quest is still sometimes worthwhile at 80. It is fast and easy and provides some small gold and experience, worthwhile during downtime or in the area.

I do this quest by means of a very helpful macro:

#showtooltip
/use Smoke Bomb
/use Arcane Charges
/use Skyguard Bombs
/use Skygyard Blasting Charges

All these items and others are all quest items that have a use and project a targettable aoe. Since dailies are usually completed or dropped before leaving the area, at no point should more than one item be in a player's inventory.

I bind this macro to my mouse's Page Down button. Page Up button is Jump/Move Up. I can move with the mouse and use the appropriate item most efficiently, without having to move the mouse to click on the item in my bags, or constantly rebind quest items.

Commento di 93865

In addition:

If you play a "hard" class - a paladin, warrior, or deathknight - if you are in your tank gear and have enough Defense skill to reach uncrittable (475 versus these mobs), you will also never be Dazed by them. This means you can fly around and let the birds wail on you in vain - they will never dismount you.

Rogues, shamans and hunters in old world druid tanking gear will enjoy similar results if they have sufficient Defense skill.

Commento di 339692

Blizzard removed this quest or something? Farming rep to get the awesome Nether Ray, but can't find the q, and ive done all the other qs :s even killed Terokk twice.
I've done the q on my other char, pre wotlk tho and i know i could pick it up when i was neutral.

Commento di 98497

There is now an achievement for completing this quest in under 2min and 15sec (solo).

Commento di 363124

im not getting any eggs destroyed even though im bombing them...has anyone else had this problem?

Commento di Tertius

If you move away to quickly after bombing the eggs you won't get credit for it; you need to stay in one place long enough for the text to appear (about 2 seconds). It took me 3 days to realize that I wasn't getting credit even though I saw the green splash and the clusters despawn.

After running this for about a month trying to get the achievment I've noticed:

If you drop a charge in the middle of more than 3 clusters (the green "hit area" is highlighting them all) you may not hit any of them, and have to wait the 5 sec cooldown to hit them 1 or 2 at a time.
If you come across clusters arranged in one of those rooftop circles around a trunk and try to strafe around in a circle to hit them, you may move too quickly before the text appears to show you've gotten credit.

You'd have to get credit for at least 1 egg every 5 seconds. The above combined with 18 seconds it takes to fly to the nearest cluster, I seriously doubt it's possible to get this achievement without a ton of luck.

Commento di XxiolaA

According to quest designers (Alex Afrasiabi, Steve Burke, Dave Kosak, Craig Amai, Luis Barriga, Eric Maloof) in an interview for official WoW Magazine this quest is used as a example to new members of the team what they should not try to achieve.

Lauis Barriga:
''We show them the quests that we've learned a lot from - our infamous quests. The quest that I get the most grief for is ''Fires Over Skettis''. I'll take blame for that. Basically, the monsters have like five abilities to disable you in five different ways, and they'd knock you off your mount so you'd take durability damage. It was horrible. So often we point to that quest and say, ''Don't do this.''

Commento di Allakhazam

The birds only hit for 200dmg a pop but they will knock you out of the air in 3 hits. hello 3g repair bill. Sometimes its difficult to time it to get a clean run with all those birds flying around.

Commento di Allakhazam

Easy quest to do. The Kaliri are a pain. I fly above them until I am nearly over one of the towers with eggs, there are 3 you can see when you just fly south from the quest giver to the lake. From above the tower fly straight down until you are in range of the bombs. I can usually bomb 1-2 clutches of eggs before a bird aggros on me. Then like anothter post said just climb until the bird gives up. You can dive on the same tower or move to one of the nearby ones next. On a good run you can get 5-6 eggs with one pass so with practice you can do the quest in 5-10 minutes, unless there are hordes of other people doing it. Do it every day for easy money.

Commento di Allakhazam

Do it naked to save cost on repairs.

Commento di Allakhazam

Everybody forgot to mention, it's not the little broken eggs in the nest, only the vibrating big ones.
Which are on top of dead tree trunks and in the tree houses, when I worked that out, it was easy.
:)

Commento di Allakhazam

67,79 is a good starting point. Fly in high, swoop down and land, so you're on firm ground if attacked by crazy birds. Bomb eggs (explosion can't hurt you), spot next tree with eggs, go high, swoop, land , bomb and so on. Quick and easy gold :-))

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest blows. It might be a good quest if the eggs spawned more often. Say, like once a day or so.

Commento di Allakhazam

Super easy. Easiest 11g to earn. I don't see how anybody can't do this quest. The eggs respawn like seconds after you have blown them up. I do this quest everyday for the money.

Commento di Allakhazam

Quest details have been updated.

Commento di Allakhazam

The quest starts at Sky Sergeant Doryn (Coords 64,66) after delivering the Explosives package to him from the pre-quest.
The eggs are greyish-cream in color, and are found on the top of most of the flat topped buildings in Skettis. When flying near them, avoid the Monstrous Kaliri, as they will knock you off of your mount, and most probably kill you from the fall, or knock you into some mobs. You need to get in close to see the eggs, as they fade out if you are too high up. Use the bombs given to you on the eggs until you have taken out 20.

Very simple quest.
Gives 350 rep with the Sha'tari Skyguard, and 11g 99s.

Commento di Allakhazam

Fairly straight-forward. You can (must?) use the bombs from your flying mount. The bombs have a standard targetting circle and range. A lot of nests have multiple eggs in them, too.

One thing I picked up early was to fly around the lake if I aggro a monstrous kaliri. That way, if they knock you off, you'll fall into the water and have a better chance of survival. Unless you fall into a pack of water elementals, that is.

Commento di Allakhazam

What i di was basically jump camp it on one tower, and waited for repsawns, then ounted, lifted up an inch, then bombed it,. real easy...

Commento di Allakhazam

I find 67,79 to be nice, theres 4 bunces of eggs, birds fly under and do not attack when eggs destroyed, fast respawn. takes 5min. Every Day.

Now Ive few days had the epic flying and discovered a weird thing.. as just flying there looking for prisoned dude and birds attacking,, I cant go away from them by flying to top height.. But I CAN do that with the 60% speed mount.

In fact, birds are slower than 60% mount, but faster than 280%.. Or Im just unlucky to be attcked by tuned-extra-aerodynamic super birds.

So, maybe better to use the slower while doing dailys there.

This works for me on my level 70 tank (Crap Dps etc). Might not work for everyone but its an easy 11 gold.

Pick up the quest and head straight to the island in the middle. Fly up to the top level of the tree and land.

Theres generally at least 3 to start with. As long as you are on your mount you can destroy the eggs.

Wait and pull any flying monstrous kaliri that are passing, once you have killed it eggs have respawned, bomb them.

You get 11 rep for every bird you kill towards Sha'tari Skyguard

Honest its that simple.

Commento di Allakhazam

Is this a repeatable quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest CAN be done as a druid in flight form, and none of the 5 birds that attacked me in midair were able to knock me down/out of flight form. Can't imagine how easy it will be once i get epic flight.

Commento di Allakhazam

If you get chased by the birds patroling the area, just fly away from the houses holding down the space bar, they can't get you and will eventually fly away

Commento di Allakhazam

Commento di Allakhazam

am i the only one that has founded this quest as a crap since the amount of birds bumming around?

edit : if they hit you too much while flying, u get dismounted and u prolly die
shattering down

Commento di Allakhazam

OK... Now to make it easy :)

There are eggs on top of the towers at the following locs:

67,79
63,80
72,83
73,80
74,88

The locs were taken with me standing there, so they should be bang on. Some of the towers maybe hard to see because of the tree-tops covering 'em up.

There is an easy way to avoid getting killed during this quest... Fly higher than the Monstrous Kaliri over the cords above / towers when you see 'em. Dive down until you're hovering a few feet off the top of the towers and use the bombs; this way if you're agroed and hit or knocked off your mount you've only a few feet to fall and can easily take out the Monstrous Kaliri which knocked you off.

BTW: You have to be in the air to use the bombs; 1ft off the deck, hovering, counts as being in the air for this quest. You cannot use the bombs just standing there on the ground.

Commento di Allakhazam

can you do this qst more than once a day?

Commento di Allakhazam

Is there an area with a more consentrated ammount of daily quests instead of just a couple like this, or are they really rare?

Commento di Allakhazam

OK the easiest way to do this is to find a platform with eggs on and land on it.

Then walk your bird around the platform dropping bombs at close range until you've blown them all up.

You can then either fly to another platform and rinse and repeat or stay and wait for the eggs to respawn (they spawn real quick).

The advantage of the landing method is if you get aggroed by birds, you can unmount and fight them without having to fly to the ground.

Since I started using this method, I've not been shot down and my repair bills have been much lower.

Commento di Allakhazam

if you get rid of the blasting charges before you turn in the quest, is there any ways to retrieve em and complete the quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

I have blown up a dozen eggs, and got credit for none of them.

Can anyone confirm that this still works, or is it bugged?

Commento di Allakhazam

I will share with you my quick 'n' easy way to do this quest with a minimum of hassle and plummeting to your death, even with a normal mount. granted, this quest isn't that hard once you do it a few times but...look, just read the thing already!

When you get to Blackwind Lake where the river starts out, fly straight up until you're slightly above the level of the topmost platforms in the tree. Straight ahead across the lake is a platform full of eggs. Bomb 'em. Now, there may be competition, but if so just wait around there, either above the tree or right against the trunk. The kalirii birds really have a tiny aggro range, and I've seen countless birds fly right past me almost within melee range while I was hovering directly against the tree itself.

To the east and a little north across the lake from the island is a similar tree with a round platform. Repeat. Go back to the tree on the island. Repeat. You get the picture. This method has been serving me well for thousands upon thousands of rep points now, and barring aggro you can get 'er done in under 5 minutes. I think this works because most people don't bother with the stray nests but focus (and compete for) the big egg caches in the hollow trees.

Here's some general hints:

1. When in doubt, fly high not low. Above tree level is generally above all the kaliiri. If you're a hunter, you really have easymode on this quest.

2. If you get knocked off, try to fall on a platform or into the lake. Hey, it can't hurt to try!

3. Hover as close to the trunks as possible when bombing. Kaliiri have itty bitty aggro ranges, and if they do aggro you can easily fall onto a platform and fight 'em off (now that they seem to have the 'evade' bug fixed).

4. When you move from tree to tree, fly straight up VTOL-fashion until you are above the trees. In fact, VTOL can save your butt pretty much any time you have to land and take off repeatedly during a quest, because your aggro range has three dimensions, and by going straight up or down you minimize it on one axis.

Good luck!

Commento di Dejobluewowhead

Druids are not able to do this in flight form, the error "You can't do that right now" appears for both normal and epic flight form, so head back to your bank and dust off that old flying mount...

Commento di GILADIDI

I saw dozens of eggs and got no credit, before I realized they are at the very top of the trees, above the platforms the skettis walk around. Currently, they sparkle

Commento di Wimbleton

I actually like this quest and I'm not a masochist (outside of Azeroth anyway), having done it on multiple characters. This recent rerun with a 70 BM Hunter reminded me of one thing that makes a difference: you need a capable video card and a decent connection. I know those are all givens these days when Kikuyu tribesmen have 20 Gig Internet but if your connection starts coughing, you'll get to know the Spirit Healer (she wouldn't give me her cell number) pretty well. Just something to keep in mind. The repair cost is de minimus but the loss of time... they're not making any more of it.

You think you have what it takes to be part of the Skyguard? We'll have to see how you handle yerself in the air.

The arakkoa are breeding a gargantuan variety of their attack pets and are using it against our scouts. I want you to take these blasting charges and use them to destroy hatcheries above the arakkoa's dwellings. Avoid the monstrous kaliri guarding the hatcheries. They'll knock you off your mount before you know what hit you.
