The start of the Netherwing dragon quest line. The last quest of this
line will grant you Neutral faction with the Netherwing Drakes.
Completing this quest chain will complicate your ability to farm [Nether Dragonscales]
(for Draconic leatherworking), and your ability to complete the quest chain
that starts with "Quest:A Not-So-Modest Proposal".
<Mordenai points to the nether drakes flying overhead.>
They won't even come down to feed. I have seen several fall to the earth,
dead from exhaustion before their bodies hit the ground.
We must save them! The Rocknail flayers that are found near the crystals
are their natural prey. Kill flayers and take their carcasses. Place a
carcass in the field and stand extremely still. As long as you do not make
any aggressive motions, they will not attack you.
Progress
I cannot save them by myself, <Name>!
Completion
You are a kind and compassionate <race>, friend.
Rewards
12650 XP (7 59 at level 70)
Notes
The Rocknail Flayers drop a carcass object. The Rocknail Rippers drop a
"Rocknail Giblet". You can mash 5 giblets into one "carcass" for the purposes
of this quest.
Other precautions:
Do not have Lightning Shield going.
Classes with pets should make sure that their pets will not attack the dragon while it lands.
Completing this quest line will complicate your ability to complete select
other quests. See the Ally of the Netherwing quest chain.
