La réussite de la quête implique de rester au contact de l'instructrice. Celle-ci accélère progressivement jusqu'à adopter une vitesse supérieure à celle de votre monture. Il est donc indispensable de bénéficier du bonus de vitesse que l'on obtient en traversant régulièrement des ronds de nuage. Chaque rond de nuage traversé augmente temporairement la vitesse de 10%, ce qui est suffisant pour suivre l'instructrice jusqu'à la ligne d'arrivée et valider la quête.

Commentaire de papusone

Rien de plus à dire, si ce n'est que grâce à l'excellent commentaire et conseil de Gondebaud, j'ai enfin pu faire cette quête (après au moins 5 tentatives échouées)et ensuite une autre quêtes très simple pour obtenir enfin ma compétence de vol ainsi que mes Rênes de mon Serpent Azur ! Tout le secret est dans les ronds de fumées, passez en un maximum, même si vous vous retrouvez devant l'instructrice, au quel cas, vous attendez quelques secondes qu'elle vous rejoigne, et vous continuez à traverser les ronds jusqu'à l'arrivé !

Commentaire de Daedelus

As of 2nd Oct 2012 this quest appears to be bugged. After following Instructor Windblade half way round the course she despawns just after saying "You must fly through all 10 checkpoints before you can finish the race."

I have tried it several times and she always despawns in exactly the same place. Completing the course does not give you credit for the quest.

Commentaire de skitatic

Just thought I would mention the issues that I was having with the quest on 2/10/2012. The first 2 times I attempted the quest it bugged out with the instructor not appearing and me flying around in the smoke rings for an eternity. The third time I tried it however he/she did appear. If the instructor does not appear for you just drop the quest and pick it up again. Hopefully for you like me, three times a charm.

Commentaire de 1035251

Ok, so I had a problem too with this quest. I flew off and found myself unaware of what to do, as it said 'Instructor Windblade's course completed'.

I flew around some rings and the area, but nothing. I disbanded it three times and tried again, but nothing. I even relogged due to the messaged on Wowhead, but nothing...

Then I re-took the quest and waited a little on the edge and as I was just about to alt-tab again, the instructor moved and I had to follow her.
I guess if this quest doesn't work for you or if you end up here, not knowing what to do, it would be best to re-take the quest and wait on the edge for a few seconds while you have mounted your wind serpent.

The rest of the quest is not hard to figure out. :)

Commentaire de 930321

Alright I was having problems with this quest but as was said she despawns when you barely make any distance on her.

I did log out and then I made sure to go through some cloud hoops and that seemed to do it.

In fact I went really far away from her to go into a hoop and she didn't despawn.

Logic? There is none but that seems to work.

Commentaire de amgyn

Worked for me on Oct 4, 2012.

Just gotta keep at least 1-3 buffs on yourself and you will keep up with her no problem.

Not sure what makes her despawn for others.

Commentaire de alessandrouw

Do NOT try to keep to close to Instructor Windblade. In first failed tries, I was trying to stack on her, causing her to despawn. You can keep a mid range distance (she'll warn you if you're getting too far, so don't worry). Just for the record, I was able to get some far away cloud rings without breaking the rope or even getting a warning, so the range is not a real problem, unless you're trying to hug the NPC. Maintaining around 3 stacks of the speed buff is more than enough to keep up with her pace.

Commentaire de xcdavidx

So yeah I've attempted this quest about 6 times now, tried abandoning/re-logging, keeping my distance, stacking close, she still despawns every time at the second "checkpoint" (hot air balloon)...it's sufficiently annoying...kind of just want to wait til tomorrow to attempt some more

Commentaire de eowyne

Seems like I had problems with the instructor despawning if I didnt get any clouds. I just shouldnt stay too close all the time.

Commentaire de Jollygood

Got it on the first try, but it definitely required all of my focus. She's slightly faster than your normal flight speed. This requires you hit those rings of smoke as much as possible. One thing to bear in mind is that some of the rings are breaking up and, at a certain point, are not going to give you a buff. You can also cut corners on some of the turns and be considerably above or below her to get that speed buff.

If you are getting frustrated with the quest, it might be worthwhile to just practice the route with your regular mount to get an idea of the route.

Commentaire de 963518

Having a nightmare, TBH this whole area is badly designed.
While killling bees for honey, if you die it takes that long to get back to your body its quicker to take the 10 minute res sickness!
As for this... tried about 20 times, stacked soo close to trainer, slightly behind and even slightly in front!
She disappears whatever i do, personally im so sick of it im going to leave it and grind rep with the other quests cos this ones a joke!
Sorry for the rant... but im kinda pissed, after keep doing the same thing over and over!

Commentaire de 989147

Stupid quest.

You get a nanometer away and she despawns.

Commentaire de 750472

My first 2 tries on this quest she despawned after she says "...I will not hesitate to fail you"

After logging out and back in i tried going through as many smoke rings as possible and she didn't despawn. So if you are having trouble, fly through some smoke rings as soon as you start following her. And you will get a warning on your screen if you get too far away which gives you some time to fly back to her.

Commentaire de Kthxbb

She is not giving me any warning about being too far at all. Getting annoying.

Update: I finally got this part completed. I don't really know what the issue was, but I hadn't play for a few days and got back on today, she didn't despawn in the middle and I was able to gather farther away circles without her disappearing. WTH? Anyways, glad that part is over.

Commentaire de cinb40

Tried this several times and got totally frustrated with it..... came here and read all the comments about what a horrid quest it was..... IT'S ALL TRUE!

Simple way to beat it...... mount dragon.... fly thru as many of the cloud rings as you can or Instructor Windblade will out distance you and you have to start again. No matter what rate flying you have if you don't use the cloud rings you'll never get this quest completed

Commentaire de 332099

I think it's less a matter of distance and more a matter of how many of the cloud-ring buffs you have on you at certain points. The quest seems to think that you've just fallen hopelessly behind if you don't have at least two or three stacks of the buff going for you by the midway point.

If you make it to the part where she mentions the finish line, you ought to be golden.

Commentaire de 895585

As of 12/9/2012, it appears that this quest is still bugged and a ticket was placed to fix it. I tried several times with the golden serpent and she still continues to vanish with no warning. What a stupid waste of time just to have this mount.

Commentaire de Mhaya

This quest is still bugged, but as already mentioned, it works to cancel the game and relogging. :)

Commentaire de 108694

This quest isn't bugged anymore.

The key to doing it is that you have to keep up with Instructor Windblade without getting too far from her. To do this you have to go through the cloud rings to get the speed buff to keep up with her. You can also stay in front of her as long as you don't get too far ahead. If you get too far away from her you will get a warning across your screen.

Zoom your screen out as far as you can. Then hit the Cloud rings as you go. Stay slightly in front of her or to the side of her, but NOT on top of her. Once you get past the part where she mentions 10 checkpoints, she'll go to the finish line. Use the Cloud Rings to stay with her. Easy peasy!

Commentaire de fordahord

I dunno, maybe this has been fixed. I didn't have any trouble with it at all. I just kept an eye on the instructor and kept flying through rings until the course was completed.

Commentaire de ZiannaAD

I did this quest with no issues at all on both my druid and my mage before 5.2 went live (I don't recall the exact dates but it was in February 2013). Today, trying to do the quest on my priest, Windblade consistantly despawned at the same spot as Daedelus describes above. I tried (in order) staying close, relogging, staying far and keeping up stacks but the result was the same.

Edit: After fully restarting the client, she finally continued past the "critical" point and I was able to complete the quest.

Commentaire de 1108108

Today, 3/22/13. Yesterday, I had no clue that this quest could be bugged and in spite of losing track of the instructor & having no clue where to go, I managed to find the end from help in Gen Chat and it completed fine. o.0
Today, however, on a different toon, I knew where to go and how it should be done, I thought. Started the quest, the instructor disappeared, I went thru rings, got credit for them but when I made the finish line, no cookie. :(
Dropped the quest 3 more times to the same poor outcome & going thru the rings only seemed to help me outfly her and have a harder time keeping up yet the rings weren't being counted as being passed. It appeared I didn't need to worry about the smoke rings any longer. So I didn't.
The course runs clockwise & the instructor is easy to keep up with until she turns to head back to the turn in zone. That's when you need to pick a few rings to keep the rope intact. You can fly straight thru them or sideways. Either works to give you a speed boost.
Even with the speed boost, diving to get rings put a lot of distance between the instructor and me. The rope finally broke and I was warned to keep up. Did the best I could but never caught up. Went thru the finish line, which is on a hill above & behind where you start the quest. It completed just fine.
I believe the problem with the quest is near the beginning of it. Make it to the turn home without smoke rings and staying right on the instructor as close as possible THEN, when she begins to speed up, pick up a few and hopefully you'll be fine.
It may be more of a problem for some, including me, to get all of the required rings AND keep up. Two runs should do it for you. Better two than a half dozen then giving up.
Good luck. I hope this helps those who find themselves feeling helpless as related to Blizzard's lovingly bugged quests. :)

Commentaire de 1032008

I started having a problem as described in other posts. I first tried it in late March 2013 two or three times. And again today twice Apr 1 2013 (Not an April fools joke), I did run through this quest with another character a month ago and no problems.

Basically I follow the trainer adescribeded before and no warning about being to fabehindng and she just drops off.

Commentaire de 821994

Slow Down!

Have you purchased your Grande recommandation de l'ordre du Serpent-nuage to double your rep gains?

Get it from San Ecailles de Rubis located at 56.7, 44.4 before doing anymore quests.

And like Cinb40 and others have stated:

Fly through the Cloud Rings to get their speed buff.

Commentaire de 1116281

I got a rare tip from a GM don't follow so close and I found if you have had a couple drinks its much easier lol :)

Commentaire de 724149

The first time I tried the quest, she despawned in mid-air without warning. I had no cloud buffs at the time.

The second time, her mount despawned and she plummeted to the surface of the sea. She continued to tell me the rules of the race while standing on the ocean, so I sat on top of her while I googled for this thread. When I alt-tabbed back to the game, she had finished her speech and completed the quest for me.

Commentaire de 1064676

Fly through the Cloud Hoops as you fly with the trainer, even if you have to stretch the leash. You will get a warning saying that you are too far from the trainer, no prob. just fly back toward the guy.

Commentaire de echolalia

still super buggy, 6/15/2013. I don't recall have any issues the first time I did this, but today the instructor was consistently despawning no matter how far/close I was, nor if I had cloud buffs or not. so that's fun.

somewhat amusingly, I also found that there's a spot (maybe more, didn't test much) where you fly over land, and you're warned "You are venturing beyond training space! Return to The Arboretum or The Jadespire Sea before you are thrown off!" which a perfunctory Google suggests was the name of the Mistveil Sea at some point before MoP release. whoops!

Commentaire de lilacorn

Yes you do need to go through the nearby cloud rings for the boost to keep up with this NPC and you then will complete this quest. itis NOT bugged/broken. Goodluck!

Commentaire de 1132163

I had problem and keept redo it and instructor dissapeared at same possition. Then i read the note about to be ahead of him from beginning and go through some clouds and then it worked..

Commentaire de dc1brewer

Well, I had a fascinating run of the quest on this day. When we got to the 2nd balloon (60.0,32.2) she dismounted completely and fell to the water. For some reason, I dropped down the rope fast enough that I wasn't disconnected. So while I sat near her in the water at that point, she went through the complete dialog. After the final dialog of going under the finish flag, I got the quest complete - never having moved from that spot near her in the water. The tether rope disappeared at that point but as long as I stayed there, she didn't even despawn. I flew back to her normal location - then before turning in the quest, flew back to the spot in the water but she had despawned there by that time. The quest was able to be turned in ! This seems like one of the more fascinating bugs ! (If you want to be prepared in case it happens for you, you would probably want to be flying below her a little bit when you approach the second balloon. I think I was at least even with her if not very slightly ahead when this happened for me)

Commentaire de wolfy7777

What I read that fits is, sometimes the quest works, most of the time its broken. Come on GET RID OF THESE USELESS QUEST THAT BREAK 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES! THEY ADD NO QUALITY TO THE GAME! ONLY FRUSTRATION AND LOSS OF GAME ENJOYMENT!

Commentaire de lunamoonraker

If her mount despawns she falls down to the sea and stands on the water. Just fly down next to her.

Continue to listen to her talking (she goes through the speech as if still flying) and after a while she finishes and you get the quest complete.

Fly back and hand in.

Commentaire de 749141

a year later and this quest is still buggy as hell come on blizz

Commentaire de Zeaig

So oddly i just had the glitch where she falls into the water twice in a row, But i took it upon my self to fall with her when she fell. And i noticed that if you actually sit in the water with her she wont despawn. And you can finish this quest without even moving she just finishes her speech and you get quest completed notification.

Commentaire de 771093

Ummm ... folks, it is not that hard. In the precursor quest, she tells you that you need to fly through the cloud rings: why is it such a stretch to then fly through the rings as you follow her on this quest? ;p

Commentaire de Rustman

In hopes that this will help others.. I too was getting the "I won't hesitate to fail you" and then suddenly she was nowhere to be seen :\ I gave up and ground rep to Exalted just to find you had to pass this one and the checkpoint quest to get the serpent (Dammit! lol). My wife was able to complete it by turning her graphics way down for less clutter and saw her abrubtly change course, this may help for people on older machines, in my case since she always left me at the same spot with no warning about being too far away I was prepared to dive to the water and look for her to stand there and hope for completion as has worked for others. I re-took the quest, hopped on and instead of staying in her back pocket I ventured away to hit some of the rings (being wary of the "Too far" message but you have to time to close back up on her). Lo and behold it worked! She didn't dissappear/despawn, she kept talking and we completed it.. Yay!

So.. My thoughts on it: An older rig *may* help to decrease graphic settings for this, as others have said don't stay right on her, DO hit some of the speed rings, if she dismounts dive down and look for her rather than giving up and you CAN do this quest it's just a matter of what will work for your set-up. Good Luck All and enjoy the Mount after all the time/care/love you put into it :D

Commentaire de staron

This quest is super buggy. I have had no trouble on 4 other alts, but on this oen it is now the 5th time probably and still she just disappears randomly and no, I cannot see her over the water, I think she fell over land. Going through cloud rings is immaterial.

Not only this quest is required on all the alts, which is something Blizzard should remove really, but also terribly badly made, buggy etc. Very patronising, after we have been using mounts since the Burning Crusade now to be told that we have to learn how to ride a mount. I am sure the developer who wrote this quest was being fired at the time...

Commentaire de Weapon0

I hate this quest. Flying through rings gives me Superman 64 flashbacks and I never even played that game. :P

Commentaire de 341960

the secret is to STAY IN FRONT OF HER.... you can kind of go anywhere just don't hit her.

Commentaire de ziggy29

A little more detail on the bug where the instructor despawns (yes it is a bug, because if you legitimately fail for straying too far, you will first be warned and the instructor doesn't "fall out of the sky"). Based on the tips below, here's what happened to me. The instructor kept disappearing at the same place (after she says "You must fly through 10 checkpoints before you can finish the race"). Most of the time I didn't have to lead her, but shortly before I got to that part of the course I did run through several rings, got a speed boost and went out well in front of her before those words came again. When I did that, she didn't fall out of the sky and the rest was easily completed.

Commentaire de manveru

Got the despawn bug several times trying this one. Solution was to relog and then fly ahead of the instructor going through as many rings as I could. I'm not sure if it's the relogging or the flying ahead that worked, but something did the trick.

Commentaire de 1369658

A lot of people say he is De-spawning at a certain point, this spot seems to vary per person. Check to see if you are in a party if so drop it and do it alone seemed to do the trick for me.

Commentaire de Maizey

Failed three times, but I started ignoring the yellow on-screen message that said I was too far from my instructor, and I just followed her as closely as I could. Finally finished!

I tried the strategy of going through the rings for more speed, but that didn't seem to matter on the successful attempt. I failed when I tried to hit the rings. I failed when I panicked about the yellow text and started zigzagging. The best strategy was to follower her as closely as I could (behind her).

There seems to be a difference between the instructor saying I was too far away and the yellow text. When the instructor warned me, I failed. When the screen flashed with the yellow text, nothing happened to me.

Commentaire de tpbutch

I did this quest 3 times and got the bug where she'd de-spawn, even while I was right behind her. On a whim, I disabled all addons and started the quest a 4th time--no issues.

Commentaire de matoh

This is by far the worst designed quest.

Commentaire de 1440198

Completed this yesterday, after much frustration, until reading lots of helpful advice here, Thank you to those that posted !

This is definitely related to computer performance. In my case, I reduced graphics quality to low and saw an immediate boost in response. My summoned serpent bounded over to me, instead of loping over. And I was able to keep up with her in the air through the "glitch" part.

I did use the cloud boosts, but only from those clouds that were closest to the route, especially those mentioned that are in the nesting area, as that seems to be just before she really picks up speed and "loses" us (b.k.a, randomly drops from the sky). It's not really a good idea to stray too far from her for clouds, as this will cause you to fall behind. There are clouds closer to the route that you can use along the rest of the way past the glitch.

So this seems the key, reduce/shut down whatever can be dampening your performance, (graphics, add-ons, other software, etc) at least for the duration of this quest, and you should be able to complete it.

Good luck to all you other first time cloud serpent seekers !

Commentaire de evildisco

Absolutely nothing from these comments worked for me. I tried everything... turned down graphics and close all other programs, went through cloud rings, etc etc. I was about to give up and then I thought "maybe I'll try to stay ahead of her as best I can." AND IT WORKED! I flew ahead of her and only got clouds when they were really close. So if all else fails, try this!

EDIT: It's 5/31/15 and I am just now noticing other people in the comments said to stay in front of her. Obviously I didn't read ALL of the comments! Sorry :)

Commentaire de Willemsii

For those who still see her falling in the ocean... Gain 2-3 stacks of speed boost, stay a bit from her and you will see that the quest will go on.

Commentaire de Catoria

She's gotten worse. This is like the 15th 90 I've done this quest on, and the most times I have ever failed. Does not matter what I do, about halfway through she books like she had Taco Bell for lunch and the restroom is clear across the mall. I'm ready to give up on that "easy" 750G for selling the mount.

Commentaire de 282132

I did this quest yesterday and it looks like they fixed the issue where the instructor despawns.

Commentaire de Catoria

After failing enough times that tears were literally involved, I pieced together the following from all over the net.

1) Drop the quest

2) Turn off all your addons

3) Close all browsers and background applications

4) Drop all graphics to either low or disabled

5) Log out

6) Log back in, accept the quest

7) Stay ahead of her when possible, get as many buffs as possible

8) Complete

No, it really shouldn't take all that. But it does, and am glad I have finally completed that quest without incident.

Commentaire de ksmskt

1-) Don't care about yellow warning "rope will be broken". Let it broken, nothing happens and quest continue.

2-) Fly front of her, not behind.

3-) Take Cloud ring's speed boosts by near of you

3.try and i pass

Commentaire de 923577

I don't know who is having trouble keeping up with her, but Im' having trouble not running her over. The biggest problem is that she dips and dives at the most ridiculous times, so I lose track of her. Really hating this quest. Going through the clouds helps only if she actually gets ahead, which so far she only does near the end when I think I've almost made it. argh.

Commentaire de Magicgrain

I keep about 2-5 stacks.. and she never dismount for me :p :3

Commentaire de Mikefion

Follow her for the first part of the flight; there's no point in getting cloud buffs at this stage.
When she starts to speed away from you, go through the nearest cloud ring; you should catch her up. As the flight continues to finish go through other cloud rings if nearby (I just went through one and completed the quest). Failure to complete this quest is not computer-hardware related: it's just not easy.

Commentaire de Nimel

Doing this with my hunter alt after a long time (Pandaria).
What's the point of having the book for taming Cloud Serpents BoA, and then requiring Exalted to learn it? Totally contradictory!
I don't find enough rings to follow the instructor.
Too many big cloud rings that are not giving speed buff... anybody else finding these issues?

Commentaire de Remohe

Doesn't seem like you can actually do this quest atm, the big rings very rarely give you the buff and the small rings are way too far apart to keep the buff up :(

Commentaire de ArbyWan

I get the gist of this quest and all but no rings ever come close enough for me to fly through and the giant ones don't give a buff so.. guess its just doing the dailies till exalted? *Slight rant* This seems like a big rug pull by Blizzard saying we could tame Cloud serpents, and yet again putting it behind a Rep grind..

*UPDATE*

Managed to finally finish this today, rings are so random that it does require patience and redoing it until you get an ideal setup as stated below. Frustrating for sure, but doable.

Commentaire de Oldbury

I was able to complete this despite all the problems other people were having, but I was close to failing near enough the entire journey with constant warning messages. Just keep trying.

If all else fails, at least us Hunters do not need to actually do this quest to buy the book.

Commentaire de knugen

So, I just did this quest, after the first 5 or so checkpoints, she seems to turn straight for the finishline instead of towards the next checkpoint. In order to complete it, you simply just need to stay close to her at all time, so you don't actually have to go to all 10 checkpoints as she instructs you to do. You also have to wait for her to start the race and not just go straight for the first checkpoint. PS. I do believe the rings do take part in this quest though, I believe you do need to pass 10 rings to get the 100% speed buff since the quest is called "Full speed ahead".

Commentaire de jaybartlet

Tried this quest 25 times (i counted) before I gave up. there are not enough rings to fly through to complete this quest. When she starts to speed off I just get left behind, and if I try to fly through one of the rings I just get further behind and lose. It's impossible to complete. Very pissed that I am now stuck, grinding dailies to get my serpent

Commentaire de TerribleAtGames

I have no clue how I managed to stay within the limits of how far behind one can be the instructor. She kept speeding up, and I kept getting the "too far behind"-warning constantly. Perhaps it was cutting some turns that saved me. But one thing is sure, this stressed me out and I were never able to actually learn the race route nor hear what she had to tell about it.

Commentaire de ornithmusic

Trying this in Shadowlands. Submitted a ticket because rings weren't spawning, and I immediately got sent here to 'try a different strategy' and got my ticket closed.

Has anyone tried this one in 2021?

Commentaire de Roco

Feb 17 2021 and this quest still sucks. Abandoned after 7 attempts.

Commentaire de andu

2021:
- Don't try to get million speed.
- Passing trought 3-4 rings during flight is enought.
- Skip rings what are far away.
- You need to get trought 3 important rings what are spawning near NPC trajectory.
- Keep follow NPC. Flying next to him will help you save some time.
- When you are close the end you can fly stright to finish while NPC will fly a little around. This will give you enought time to pass it.

I agree, this is the most annoying quest I had to do in Warcraft.

Commentaire de Khannyboi

I can't keep up and if I go to far she fails me anyways. Half the circles are too far for me to actually get too so I'm not sure what the heck to do. I'm getting two speed boosts and she still outruns me. I've been rep farming for 3 weeks to find out this quest is shot to !@#$.

Commentaire de IntrovertGenius

10 tries. It doesn't matter how many rings I go through, I continue to fail at the same point. It doesn't even seem that my speed is increasing to keep up. Many of the rings are too far out to get without failing. Not going to even contact support, because I know they will just tell me to come here for help with the quest, even though it appears there is something wrong with the quest. I don't know, maybe I am doing something wrong, but, if I am, they aren't explaining that very well.

Commentaire de SvenskNavi

Just to give a ray of hope in a sea of "this is impossible" - I finished this on my third try. Just need to make sure you're keeping the speed boosts going the hole time - I actually started my chain just before she started talking about checkpoints.

Commentaire de RandomFairy

Frustrating as it was, I did finally completed it. I found that if I searched high and low for the small rings, I was able to complete it. I was frequently out too far out and got the warning, but was able to speed boost to her when I entered a circle. There were circles above and below and to the side. Good luck!

Commentaire de ysidoroh

I literally can not do this quest. It isn't the weird bug where she would despawn, I just literally can't keep up with her and I'm hitting every single $%^&ing cloud! I don't know what else to do

Commentaire de wyqed

Took me 3-4 tries, but you have to get the rings that are not too far away, also try to stay ahead of her instead of following behind her, in a way you're leading her, and cut in front of her if you know where shes going.

Commentaire de lheygolas08

I did FINALLY complete this quest after several attempts(2/17/23). The way I was able to complete it is stay in line with here slightly head until she takes the bend on the 3rd checkpoint get only the closest rings. You'll start to drag behind her and get the "warning"....just hold on for dear life without moving up or down(you'll think she is about to phase out, but she doesn't). she will kick forward up the "hill" and you complete it. Id like to note you get massive amounts of rep for this quest and the quests that follow it. don't give up. Happy questing.

Commentaire de TurretOpera

For anyone having trouble, this quest is still possible as of Dragonflight. Just cut corners really hard, try to always go where she's going to be rather than being concerned with where she is currently. Get used to the amount of leeway of the rope. I picked up only 2 speed boost and not enough to maintain any sort of speed advantage.

Commentaire de Arca500

Ugh don't even bother, it crashes EVERY FREAKING TIME! Doesn't seem to matter what you do, Addons, no addons it doesn't seem to matter... I despise stuff like this but it's old content so I don't expect blizzard to care. :/

I get it that the tactic is "stay in front of her" but WHERE ARE THE SPEED RINGS

If you fail, you get a fadeout, and placed back at the takeoff location. No matter what the yellow voices tell you, if you're still flying, you still have a chance.

Hat tips to: Andu for the general practice that works, I'm trying to be more specific. Catoria for suggestions about denaturing your graphics etc so all possible input lag is scrubbed (for specific, I switched from triple buffer to double buffer, and turned down the whole graphics thing, then particles and spells all the way back up).

I will update this post with locations of speed rings as far as I can spot them.

Not all the speed rings spawn every time which definitely feels like a bug to me.

There is a speed ring to the right of the entry to the speedway. "behind" where the dragon shows up. I'm unsure if it's valuable to try and get it, unless you can do it before she starts the race, and I'm not sure if she's timing your "rope" setup. I just passed, this did seem to help.
There is usually one on top of the crag/island ahead of you. taking if it's there.
generally the balloons with checkpoint flags seem to be "near" one, but not all have one? that I spotted. Either just past it to the left, or just below it to the right.

In my successful run, I pre-snagged the behinder ring, then came near but ahead of the instructor, pointed T-shaped toward the crag she's going to turn toward so I was already "ahead" of her when she got the rope on. I headed for the first balloon, grabbing another ring, while the yellow text wailed that I'm too far away. Fear not, she's PERFECTLY capable of catching up. Grabbed that balloon's Ring, headed strongly toward the next balloon, grabbed its Ring too.

If you see a Ring a bit far to the left before the first balloon I assure you it is Too Far, don't try that one.
Might be one fairly near and BELOW it... that one's kind of iffy too.
Rings right by the balloons are fine.

If there isn't one available close enough before you turn the corner past the second balloon and around the rocks you tend to lose.

Turning the corner into the middle stretch

If you're still ahead of her rather than behind her as she heads for the next crag you might win this.
do not sweep too low or too far aside to grab a ring. They're clipping the corner here and will easily outdistance you.

In my successful run I fled past this entire lovely area toward the crag and its speed rings as best I could. I was already lagging behind her and was able to grab two rings that seem to belong to the next tall island.

You can see the next crag! You can do this. Maybe, probably.

At the next crag a sweep of speed rings are low and making a curve upward. I doubt you need all of them but somehow snag one.
Maybe two. If you try to catch them all you'll get too far out of sync with her.

Here be trees and another crag

If you're still on your dragon you're probably going to succeed.

A few Rings are in this region, I think you'll have to snag one along here somehow.

Cut hard right and zoom for this very tall decorated island! She's already ahead of you -
...but there is a raceway banner you can zip through and under.
Dive down past the "looks like a finish line" banner - keep going - to the place where you began.

In my successful run I didn't dare trust that looking like a finish line meant that it was one from the quest's perspective.

At the starter site, the instructor is already dismounted.

If you passed, the quest marker is yellow.
