15.  [70] Chasing the Moonstone

After you have defeated Anzu, you can talk to Morthis Whisperwing again to acquire the Essence-Infused Moonstone again, which will be placed in your key ring (not your bags) forever. This will allow you to summon Anzu in Heroic Sethekk Halls any time you like (for an extra badge or a chance to loot the raven mount).

There is also a complete walkthrough available.

Notes

• When leaving flight form while moving horizontally you keep the speed in that direction (in addition to falling down of course). When dismounting from an epic flight mount one is slowed down. Care should be taken when doing a very fast caster -> epic flight -> caster shift as you pick up the speed instantly and can toss yourself into trouble easily.

• If dismounted during the Netherwing revered races, a druid quick on the draw can reshift and get back into the race without losing, something normal mount users cannot do.

• Even though the Swift Flight Form is unable to run along the ground, if you fly very close to the ground you will enter ground effect. Your speed will be reduced from 280% to 100% just like the flying mounts. When flying in ground effect you are considered to be on a ground mount.

• This replaces your Flight Form like Dire Bear replaces Bear; if you are in flight form when you hand in the final quest, it is removed from you.

• Neither Flight Form nor Swift Flight form are affected by a paladin's Crusader Aura. This is because your character is not actually mounted.

• As with Flight Form typing /mountspecial will cause Swift Flight Form to do a backflip. This can only be used when stationary.

Talent improvement

Natural Shapeshifter reduces the cost of shapeshifting by 10% per rank, for a maximum of 30%.
