Commentaire de Glaire

Je n'ai rien à dire de plus que cette quête est l'une des pire depuis le début du jeu. Ce n'est pas amusant, répétitif, difficile, et mal codé.

Bonne chance à ceux qui doivent la faire ...

Commentaire de Zyghar

Je vien de reussir a faire cette quete de merde!

-->regarder dans les com en anglais ils fournissent une video d'un mec mec qui le reussi.
-->Il vous faut Barde en cuir de peau-roche pour pas qu'un mob vous enlève de votre monture.
-->Il vous faut aussi rata des combattants qui permet de regène 1000% plus vite pour le moment des chute d'eau.

Commentaire de 1697957

Enfin réussi après 2h00 de tryhard les chutes d'eau sont assez chiante mais au final faut être syncro avec la bête quand on es en bas des chutes on es à 3 ou 4 % de vie mais c'est normale.
Mais je tient à dire que je confirme que c'est la pire de toute les quêtes qui existe tu es obliger de mourir ou de refaire la quête à certains endroits pour avoir le bons chemin je ne sais pas si battle était chooter quand ils ont fait cette quête mais elle es affreuse.

Commentaire de 1104402

Impossible pour moi !
Je ne passe pas le moment où il saute en l'air aux chutes d'eau. Je ne vois pas comment c'est possible...
Ca m'a bien énervée aujourd'hui et après 6 morts, je laisse tomber...
Je ne sais pas comment vous avez fait pour sauter en l'air aussi haut, moi je n'y arrive pas...

Edit : je viens de réessayer, et ça me saoule... Je suis d'ordinaire très patiente pour les quêtes mais là c'est n'importe quoi...

Commentaire de ynotflo

Incapable de faire quete, trop chiante et décevante, ca fait dix fois que creve au chute : Je Laisse tomber. Merci WOW

Commentaire de selkis94

Quête très galère mais réalisable avec:

Barde en cuir de peau-roche
Rata des combattants

Commentaire de Khyranai

Je commente rarement des quêtes mais ce cas fera exception.

En effet, comme vous pourrez le lire plus haut, cette quête est pleine de "surprises" : vous devez suivre le Grand-noble bois du nord sur une distance absolument titanesque à tel point que l'on se trouve à loucher dessus en mode " PAS LE PERDRE DE VUE "

Personnellement je l'ai faite en plusieurs jours/fois sinon les nerfs lâchent et on fait des bêtises.

Il faut s'attendre à devoir subir quelques désagréments ; en effet, l'animal...
- ... fait des sauts par dessus les rochers, attention donc à bien étudier le terrain (idéalement avant ou pendant dès que le lasso a cédé car vous étiez bloqué) et ses possibilités de passage. Au repos de la serre il s'approche du bord et fait des demis-tours serrés, il se balade entre les arbres (pensez à lui mettre un marqueur comme sur ma capture d'écran, ça aide dans les arbres), heureusement la corde passe à travers, etc.

- ... s'amuse à sauter du haut des chutes à l'est des pitons larmoyants, ce qui vous met à très peu de points de vie à chaque fois, avec mobs qui vous attaquent en bas à la réception évidemment ! A noter qu'il adore se la jouer " je saute très haut pour retomber très bas " donc attendez bien qu'il soit à votre hauteur dans sa chute pour tomber vous même sinon le lasso cède.

- ... adore se balader dans les mobs tels les loups après les pitons larmoyants ou les vrykuls des marais qui peuvent ralentir ou démonter. Il existe quelques objets décrits plus haut qui aident à ne pas être démontés car, en quel cas, le lasso cède.

A côté de ça, l'animal...
- ... a plusieurs points d'arrêts quand le lasso cède. En effet, lorsqu'une certaine distance a été parcourue et que vous le perdez, il vous attend généralement peu loin pour le relancer. En gros on ne refait pas tout depuis le début à chaque fois (heureusement).

- ... vous attend quelques secondes à l'arrêt après plusieurs faux-pas ou chutes le temps de se remettre.

- ... a un lasso qui a une assez grande portée, on peut se permettre de souvent rester sur le chemin pendant qu'il s'amuse entre les arbres ou à sauter partout.

En bref en résumé, il n'y a qu'un seul maître mot : patience. Ce n'est pas la quête la plus agréable mais, une fois réussie, on se sent plutôt fier. Il faut prévoir du temps et de l'énergie.

Bonne chance à ceux qui doivent la réaliser... Plus qu'à up travail du cuir à 800 maintenant ;)

Commentaire de Kaema222

Ok.
Je crois que je tiens un truc.

--> Faites la quête en forme Drake de grès.
1/ vous pouvez aller très vite, le suivre sans problème et ne manquer aucun saut
2/ vous pouvez éviter toutes les aggros facilement.

Ça reste pénible et j'ai dû m'y reprendre à quelques fois, mais ça change la vie.

Commentaire de kethry

Je viens de la finir.... au bout de presque 1 heure d'escorte ! cet animal est traître au possible. attention à ses mouvements brusques, ses retours en arrière et lorsqu'il saute, il remonte parfois avant de se laisser tomber.

Il faut obligatoirement Barde en cuir de peau-roche pour la finir je pense.

Je l'ai faite avec mon druide Tank et j'ai suivi le conseil de Kaema222 : j'ai pris le drake de grès (Fiole des sables). Attention avec le drake, il ne nage pas bien et j'ai perdu l’animal une 1ere fois comme ça en haut des chutes: il faut survoler l'eau pour ne pas le perdre. et attention aux arbres aussi, le cerf prend un malin plaisir à passer en plein milieu des bosquet d'arbres.

J'ai perdu 4 fois le lasso en tout ( j'ai dû avoir des bugs car le lasso disparaissait, la bête et la canalisation restait présente mais l'animal finissait par disparaître 5 min plus tard. je n'ai eu qu'une fois le texte à l'écran: "votre lasso s'est brisé, la bête s'est échappée"), heureusement qu'il y a des checkpoint plus ou moins régulièrement.

bon courage à tous!

Commentaire de shadowpl

C'est moi ou cette quête est bugée en plus? Ça fait 2 fois que sur la rivière avant la chute d'eau, l'orignal disparaît alors qu'il est juste à côté et ça n'affiche même pas le message disant que la corde s'est cassée.

Commentaire de morggane

Bonjour à tous,
J'ai commencé cette quête après lecture des coms et visualisation de vidéos. Mais car bien sur il y a un mais ! je me retrouve sans l'orignal après être rentré dans l'eau en haut des chutes comme pour shadowpl, il disparaît tout simplement après 4/5 secondes dans l'eau il est a coté de moi mais plus rien?
un bug? ou une astuce non donnée?
merci de votre aide

Commentaire de Pacalou

A noter qu'il faut avoir la compétence maximale en travail du cuir de Légion pour que la quête soit disponible.

Commentaire de Benjade

Je pense que ça a du être corrigé car j'ai pu le faire sans problème en 10 minutes max même pas. Par contre si jamais il disparait pendant que vous le suivez ne vous inquiétez pas, revenez simplement un peu en arrière et il vous attend, indiqué sur la carte pour reprendre la ou vous en étiez. De même que si vous ne voyez plus le lasso, ne vous en préoccupez pas, ça ne change rien du tout, continuez. J'ai utilisé une monture au hasard donc volez assez haut pour pas aggro et c'est bon :) La canalisation ne représente pas tout ce que vous devez faire et je vous rassure, ça s'arrête bien avant! Bonne chance!

Commentaire de Steiner14512

As of Beta build 21737, this isn't exactly an easy quest. Mount up, walk up to the Elderhorn and click on it, it'll start running and you have to follow it around, connected by a lasso. A clean run should take you about 13 minutes, but I doubt anyone will one-shot this in its current form, so there's going to be some running back and starting over.

After completing all the quests from Celea in Azsuna, I got sent back to Dalaran and was able to pick up this quest. I had already done all the other LW quests in Highmountain etc. while leveling up, so those might be required aswell.
You'll begin the quest by interacting with the Elderhorn in Storm's Reach, a free for all PvP area. ~~For the first 45 seconds before leaving the area, you can be attacked by players while not being able to attack or run away yourself. Consider bringing a friend if you keep getting killed.~~ PvP seems to be disabled here when you're on this quest.

There are checkpoints throughout the run where you can continue if you fail. You can fail by:

Dismounting. The Elderhorn will drag you through quite a few unavoidable mobs that can daze and dismount you, using Barde en cuir de peau-roche might be a good idea.
Dying. This is mostly an issue at the waterfall, where the Elderhorn jumps down and you can easily fall to your death following it. If you don't have a passive fall damage reduction, you'll just have to find a way down that hurts the least. If you fail, the Elderhorn will respawn right on top of the waterfall, so use any short term fall damage reductions (that stay active while mounted), HoTs etc. before you continue.
As mentioned in other comments: Bring some Rata des combattants!
Breaking the lasso. There are certain points throughout the run where the Elderhorn will jump off a cliff and you have to follow. If you hesitate even a second, the lasso will break. Look at the video or figure out by trial and error where and when exactly to jump.

A video of my playthrough of this quest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW1_SVSCSoo

Commentaire de rainrider

You could use Rata des combattants. It helps immensely.

Commentaire de FlexoAdapt

While there are parts of this quest that are really annoying the only part I found to be somewhat difficult was going down the waterfall. Odds are that you're going to fail the first time through. Ride back to the top of the waterfall and jump down to the first ledge. You can still interact with the moose from this ledge to continue your progress. This little bit of reduced fall damage and one less chance to miss a ledge was the little extra that I needed. Hopefully it helps others.

Also, I'd highly recommend using Barde en cuir de peau-roche as you will be dragged through countless mobs in an attempt to dismount you.

Commentaire de saulwhite

Do yourself a favour, don't even try this quest if you don't have the following items:

Barde en cuir de peau-roche (taught by Patron : barde en cuir de peau-roche)
Rata des combattants (taught by Recette : Rata des combattants, a questreward from: Un moral de vainqueurs)

Without these buffs (or help from a healer friend) you even make it past the waterfall section.

If you want to play it safe you could get two pieces of the class order hall set like Masque du Sentier invisible for the out of combat regeneration.

Good luck, people!

Commentaire de nefariouskage

i have never died so much to what is nothing more then an escort quest....really blizzard why do you hate leatherworkers

Commentaire de Shangxi

I want to both commend and murder whoever created this quest. I laughed, I cried and I died multiple times. This is the kind of quest that feels rewarding just for completing regardless of what the actual 'reward' might be (which is a recipe to create a mount btw).

Edit: I recommend doing this after you reach level 110 and have your class order hall 2 set bonus as the out of combat regeneration can help a lot for some of the falling parts, particularly the waterfall.

Commentaire de varenne

Objective of this quest is to capture Grand noble-bois du Nord. It's not an easy quest, the reward is Grand noble-bois du Nord after all. You'll put Grand noble-bois du Nord on a leash from which he'll try to break out running around Stormheim, he'll jump down cliffs, try to fool you, run into packs of wildlife and Vrykuls so you have to be prepared! You have to be mounted to do this quest, if you dismount you'll lose the leash. If your leash breaks you don't start from the beginning there are check points that save your progress.

Before you start this quest you need to have these two things:
1. Rata des combattants - buy it on AH or make it yourself, recipe Recette : Rata des combattants is a reward for Un moral de vainqueurs quest in Azsuna. You need this food because there will be an area with the waterfall where Grand noble-bois du Nord will jump down and you'll take fall damage. You can make it without food but it'll be much harder.
2. Barde en cuir de peau-roche - buy or craft, the recipe Patron : barde en cuir de peau-roche is a reward for doing Travail du cuir quest Les caparaçons du passé. As i said he'll run into packs of wildlife so the mobs will daze you if you don't have Barde en cuir de peau-roche. You can do it without barding but it'll take you few attempts because you'll have to kill mobs and make an attempt before they respawn.

I've made a video of this quest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAqvQM_Nukk so you can watch it if you don't like to read a lot of text.
So let's break it down, Elderhorn is at 62.5, 23.8 Storm's Peak. Easy run, just follow him, no traps in this area, he'll run from Strom's Peak to Nastrondir.
First trap is in Nastrondir 43.0, 37.0 he'll jump between two narrow rocks, don't jump after him just run around it.
Then follow him to the next hard area - the waterfalls 31.6, 46.5. Here you'll have to jump down in a way that don't break the leash, Elderhorn will jump down 4 times. His first and second jump you have to jump with him facing the mountain to avoid jumping too far. Third jump - don't stagger and jump with him. On his fourth jump he'll do a high leap so don't follow him right away, jump when he starts to fall down. I did it with Rata des combattants, without it you'll have to jump from higher rock to lower or you'll die from fall damage.
Shortly after the waterfall at 39.7, 47.3 he'll start to jump on rocks, you don't have to follow him just stick to the road.
When you reach the bridge at 42.8, 58.6 you have to run on the bridge, he'll try to fool you by running close to the bridge and then jumping on it.
After the bridge he'll run into packs of wildlife, so if you have Barde en cuir de peau-roche you're safe, if you don't then after they daze you just clear the packs and try again before they respawn.
Next tricky area starts from Cullen's Post he'll do a series of jumps down the mountain to the river, jump after him. When you reach the path up the mountain at 47.3, 61.2 he'll try to fool you and run around it but then he'll jump on the rock breaking the leash so you have to go up the mountain. When you're near the top you have to take the right side at 48.3, 59.5 near the fire torch. Because he'll jump again and break the leash if you don't take the right side to climb.
Next he'll follow into Amberfall Mesa where he'll try to lose you in the trees at 52.6, 57.2, position your camera in a way that you don't lose him in the trees. At 51.0, 51.1 he'll run into a bull so again if you don't have Barde en cuir de peau-roche, you may break the leash.
When you reach the path down to Hellmouth Shallows he'll make 2 jumps down at 52.7, 49.5. He will not wait so don't stagger and jump straight with him.
In Hellmouth Shallows don't run into mist clouds they'll slow you down.
The end of the path is at 55.4, 46.7. He'll jump on the big rock, you can't jump there so don't panic just jump on the smaller one and stand there.

For TomTom users, important points in this quest:

/way Stormheim 62.5, 23.8 Start (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 43.0, 37.0 Trap, he'll jump between two rocks, run around (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 31.6, 46.5 Waterfalls, series of jumps (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 39.7, 47.3 Stick to the road don't jump after him (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 42.8, 58.6 Run on the bridge (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 47.3, 61.2 Trap, run up the mountain (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 48.3, 59.5 Take the right path (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 52.6, 57.2 He'll try to lose you in trees (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 52.7, 49.5 Two jumps without waiting, don't hesitate (Mounting Made Easy).
/way Stormheim 55.4, 46.7 The end (Mounting Made Easy).

After completing the quest you'll get Patron : Harnais de monte en cuir -> Harnais de monte de noble-bois.

Commentaire de atdoig

Do not use a tall mount like a Coalfist Gronnling. You will get stuck.

Commentaire de KeenTheAtheist

Just managed to do this, after some frustration.
One thing i wish was mentioned somewhere, is that the 30 minute buff/channel you apply when you click the moose, does not mean you have to run around for 30 minutes straight, following the moose in a big ring.
The entire route it runs has a start and an end (Helsmouth Shallows), with checkpoints inbetween. Make it to a check point, and you can pick up the moose there if you fail.
If i had known this, i would have been alot less frustrated, since i thought i had to go for 30 minutes no matter what checkpoint i started at.
Hope this helps, and happy internal screaming hunting!

Commentaire de Telanore

If you don't have Fighter Chow for the waterfall jumps (or just can't be bothered going back to Dalaran to make some), this IS possible without it - you just need to aim your jumps better.

For the first one, as someone mentioned, you can just jump down before starting the quest, heal up a bit, then right-click it to start.

For the next one, make sure to aim towards the wall, so you don't miss the ledge.

For the third jump, do NOT jump - just stay mounted and run over the edge, aiming at a big rock to the right in the "pool". Landing on top of that reduces fall damage slightly.

For the fourth and last jump, get off the rock you landed on from the third jump, stand by the waterfall, and look to your right. There is a ledge you can jump to where a bird is sitting. After that, turn to your left, and there is a big rock again in between the two waterfalls at the bottom of the last drop.

Doing it like this will leave you at something between 30-50% health, so you can still survive the couple of mobs you run past shortly afterwards.

Commentaire de bpmike83

Thank goodness for that fighter chow. Thanks for linking that required food.

Commentaire de Holydush

This is by far the worst quest I've seen in this game.

Commentaire de Igneels

To anyone that's not having this quest pop up you need to get your Leatherworking Proficiency to around 600 before you're able to grab it! Hope this helps.

Commentaire de burritoneato

Extremely frustrating quest, closest to rage quitting I've gotten with this game.

Hardest part I found was the waterfall, didn't have access to the food buff everyone else was mentioning and just couldn't simply "git gud" at the jumps. So instead enlisted help of a healer friend and placed him on top of the rock at the first watery landing and he could top me off before the next big jump down.

(Make sure on that one, you don't jump until it is on it's way down)

You may also want to have them tag along in case you are a bit squishy and aggro too many mobs or on the other big jumps (by the bridge and into the swamp) though survivable could prove a problem if you've been taking a regular beating.

Also use a Barding, theres not point not to, and it will save you at least a couple headaches.

Commentaire de omgreese

A minor snag for hunters: Make sure you're not in the middle of your Survival artifact quest when you attempt this. The Elderhorn will run through that area at the end and despawn.

Commentaire de Gameroze

I love how the quest is called 'Mounting Made Easy' when there's nothing easy about it at all.

Commentaire de hollycenations

Protip: Don't use a mount that gets dismounted in the water. I use the flying cloud mount normally, and didn't think of it until I got dismounted in the river.

Commentaire de Yog0

Did you do the stable quests in Warlords? Did you think that was The Best Gameplay Ever (tm)? Congratulations, as a reward for leveling skinning in Legion you too can have a plain white moose mount that you might not even want to ride for fear of trigging PTSD when you remember the terror this cervidae inflicted on your fragile psyche.

This is not a guide. It's a warning. Don't you even dare check out the TomTom coordinates someone posted above. I want you to feel the same pain I did.

I won't spoil any of the fun. I will, however, offer you some advice:

Don't do what I did at first, and try to chase him mounted on one of the weirdo tameable animals where he first hangs out.
Make yourself Barde en cuir de peau-roche and use it, trust me. The moose will try to introduce you to new friends.
I play Horde, so I bound my Hearthstone to Forsaken Foothold. Possibly saved my sanity. If you've done the quest, you know why if I say waterfalls.
Some sort of passive health regen is nice. So be a Druid with Don d’Ysera, or a Troll, or both. Or cook up some Rata des combattants.
Water walking can be neat in a couple of spots, but it's absolutely not necessary.
Reduced falling damage can give you a larger margin of error. Do Troll Druids have that? They used to, last time I played one.
Get a stress ball or borrow your dog's favourite chew toy. I don't have a dog, so I had to do some archaeology (in-game) and fishing to calm down at times.

All the respect to everyone who makes it through this quest. That moose pulls some mad stunts. I wish I'd gotten Rênes de gardien du Bosquet instead. At least it can fly.

Commentaire de zinniathecow

A somewhat helpful tip if you're stuck at the waterfall:

After rage-quitting last night, I went back and he was still sitting at the edge of the waterfall. I accidentally ran over the edge on my fourth retry, and noticed he has a pretty large hit box. That being said, you can jump down on the first ledge, zoom out, and still click on him.

Good luck, everyone.

Commentaire de Thatsoureric

A couple of small tidbits I learned when doing this quest :

1) The debuff the moose gets when you have him tied says that it has a 30 minute duration.
Now if you somehow magically get him on one try, don't worry, this quest doesn't actually
take the full 30 minutes to complete. More like 15-20 minutes tops. And it constantly resets
whenever you redo the quest.

2) If the leash "breaks" you CANNOT re-click on him. You have to go back to its check point
to start over.

3) You CANNOT dismount under any circumstances. Should you dismount, the leash automatically
breaks. You also cannot initiate this quest without being mounted. This is the crux of why this quest
is so difficult. Because on the sections where you are scaling high areas, you will take fall damage,
and any class abilities that negate it require you to dismount, which is the frustrating part.

4) Don't worry about having a specialized water mount or water walking. The moose doesn't
move faster on water than you, so he won't leave you in the dust if you both are in the water.

5) The hardest part of this quest will be the waterfall. Trust me, once you're past this, it gets a LOT
easier, albeit still annoying and frustrating at times.

6) If you are dismounted via mob interference, clear the area and try again. Most likely the mobs
won't have re-spawned by the time you and your moose run by.

7) The Hellmouth Shallows is the last part of this quest, and it ends with the moose jumping
on a high rock. You *CANNOT* follow him up, so don't bother trying to jump after him.

Do NOT run to the right side when he is up there, as it is a guaranteed rope break. Stay to the
left and get as close as you can to the rock. It will look like your rope is about to break, but it
won't. The moose will not jump down or go anywhere, so hold this area for about 10 seconds.

When you do, the moose will vanish, and you'll get a quest complete.

Quest designer 1: I'm making a 15 minute escort quest with a really intolerant leash range where the escort target actively tries to make you fail.
Quest designer 2: Hey while you're at it you could use it as a showcase for the game's most popular and well developed mechanics.
Quest designer 1: Like unwanted aggro, dazing, damage dismounting and terrain collision?
Quest designer 2: And throw some unavoidable fall damage in too, why the @#$% not.
Quest designer 1: Another triumph!

45, 36 and a top of waterfall is where some kind of checkpoints were made.
I could start from there when my leash broke.

Commentaire de Jeolene

I like the part where the lasso breaks for no apparent reason. Happens repeatedly on the "third" phase when you're near Hrydshal. I'm on the 15th try of never having gotten past the bridge.

*edit* After posting this, it stopped happening. The WoWhead gods took pity on my once again.

Commentaire de Eluna

This is by far the *worst* quest I've ever done in World of Warcraft. At no point was it fun or challenging, it was just annoying and bad.

Good game design is giving the player some notice of something happening. This is so bad that at one point he runs to the side of a walkway going up, and then jumps up on the walkway which you can't do. If you don't know he's going to do that the rope breaks because you can't go back and run up before it happens. That's bad game design. This is basically the $%^& they did back in the 70-80s when making arcade games. Making it so that you had to memorize everything happening, and then do it over and over and over until you got it. Back then it was cool when you finished something, but in 2016, that's not cool, it's frustrating and leaves you with no feeling of achievement when you're finally done.

They could have done it by giving small hints "arrows" showing where he would run next, or even just visual cues on the elk itself, like his head looking to the left right before running left. Something that would give the player a warning about anything. Also, him running through 6 wolves, 3 archers and another 3 wolves, which at one point actually killed me, is not fun either, specially when I can't do anything about it.

Commentaire de dkcm

In addition to all the tips here, I'll add another one.

If possible, complete this during a busy server time - say early evening.

Why? People are questing all over the place and taking out the mobs that make several pieces of this quest a bit hectic.

For example, the last part in the Shallows with the dead Vrykul - if players are there killing them, the "mists" that will surround the Vrykul and slow you down causing you to lose the rope simply aren't there. It makes the run through the last part very easy.

The quest was just as frustrating and infuriating as I expected it to be based on these comments. That said, it was still better than "purchase recipe, learn recipe".

I've run into a bit of an issue.
"Mounting Made Easy" Quest doesn't show up when I talk to Namha.
I completed each branch of the leatherworking questline.
After the Dalaran portion, I completed the Highmountain chain first, then Suramar, and finally Azsuna.
I have fel hide skinning, and I've turned in the quests "Well Spent Time" and "Time Well Spent."

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Commentaire de glycereth

I remember doing a similar quest in Shadowmoon Valley for the drake mounts(or the mount speed trinket), it was fun, because it was a challenge with some RNG involved(running into flying mobs that has a chance to daze you), it was not unpredictable crap like this quest where you just HAVE to know the course before hand or you will just fail.

Using the leather barding to remove the daze from the race makes this even more boring.

I'm absolutely fine with it being challenging, e.g. making it run faster than our mounts by 10%, but not this, there are many many points in this course where you are just helpless and 100% to fail if you don't know the course beforehand, it gets boring and annoying when you have to repeat doing the same thing again just because you are punished for what you don't know.

The Shadowmoon Valley race was nothing like this one, it was awesome, the one in MoP Jade Forest is also not too bad.

This quest sucks. Everything about it sucks. This moose sucks. I want it to die. Im going to craft this mount, just to jump off this waterfall while riding it to its death. I want to listen to its death rattle audio. I want to see this moose die, and listen to its dying breath.

Commentaire de bleuwolfe

If you've had enough for one day and want to come back later, besides the waterfall checkpoint (I'm sure we ALL know where that is), there is a checkpoint at Kingsfall Pass (37.6, 66.8), Cullen's Post (45.2, 60.3) Waterfall Mesa (54, 60.3) Let's pretend I failed and died lots of times just so I could find those for you. Uh-huh, yup, that's what I was doing.

I did this without the fighter chow, although I did have the 2 piece class hall set bonus which increases out of combat regen. And as others mentioned Barde en cuir de peau-roche is an absolute must. Also, pick a small mount to chase him with (horses and wolves worked for me, they're fairly short and skinny) to minimize getting stuck. At the waterfall part, as a hunter I switched to BM, dropped down to the first rock, and then hit spirit mend on myself before mounting up and clicking the moose real fast. It probably only had one tick left when I hit the 3rd ledge but every little bit helps. As others said, running off the 3rd ledge to the rock with the bird on it (not jumping, just moving) and then to the 4th ledge will help mitigate how much damage you take. Since he jumps high right there you have time to make 2 jumps to his one.

Whose brilliant idea was it to make us run right thru a world quest hostile NPC anyway......

I'm starting to agree with those who think "worst quest ever" I've done a lot of things to get mounts (including all the WoD stables quests) but this is rapidly topping the charts as the most frustrating. I can't decide if I'll ride this one all the time as a badge of honor, or put it away and never want to see it again.......

Actually this was a fun time. After many death at the waterfall part. I have a healer heal me before the last jump. After many fail attempt the pally is just laughing so hard. He cant see the moose, so it looks like I just running around. By the end I had 4-5 guildies following me around chasing an invisible Moose and Raging on Discord when the moose made jumps that I couldn't do and snapping the rope.

Commentaire de SingingKITTY

1. I see far too much criticism and hate here to be able to make the assumption that people went into this quest with an open mind.

Two things to remember about having that attiude towards this quest:

One, I think this quest was SUPPOSED to be famously bad, when you actually complete it? You understand. If you have the knowledge before hand, it really isn't that hard of a quest. And as far as Bop mounts go? An hour or so chasing a ram in a zone is NOWHERE near as bad as some of the other grinds and timesinks blizz asks.

Two. When flight inevitably comes to Legion, this quest will be laughably tedious and easy, just like treasure hunting is in WoD if you have flying. This quest won't be bad forever.

2. I began to say earlier that I see a lot of criticism but not a lot of attempts to help people though the quest, so here's my attempt to help:

A. Get Mount Barding.
B. i'd only bother getting Fighter's Chow if you want this to be as easy as possible to save time, if your class has a hot such as Spirit Mend or Crimson Vial or magical heal hots, that should be enough for the waterfall sequence, which I feel at this time you need about 5-10% heal to get thru the worst fall.
C. The 3 hard parts I considered hard? I thought were VERY easy and I was able to do in 1 or 2 attempts once I knew what Blizz wanted from me. This is why i didn't feel this quest was THAT bad. The waterfall needs to be fixed and theres a couple of fakeouts the ram pulls that I felt were unnecessary, but when you begin to understand this wasn't meant to be easy, (as the Troll-y title of this quest would suggest) I feel they ARE necessary.

D. The Waterfall drop, the big one. 2 helpful things: At the start of the waterfall checkpoint, cast a hot on yourself such as Spirit Mend, mount immediately grab the ram, dont wait for the ram to start just get out along the first hard part, the left side cliff drops, and aim into the wall to break your speed and fall. Hard part is maintaining enough health to survive the third hard part. The hot should last long enough to keep you above 80% for the second hard drop. Note that theres a little stone jut sticking up right where he lands, its good to land on that cuz it helps break the fall a tiny tiny bit.

E. The most CRITICAL part of the escort quest: The scary waterfall drop in Weeping Falls or whatever it's called. The trick here: the ram will PAUSE as he "considers" really long scary falls, this is important to note for later in the quest because he DOESN'T always jump, he sometimes fakes it out and turns around. Anyways, you can follow the ram just fine through the fall off the third waterfall segment, but you MUST wait from him to pause before taking the plunge. If you run off the fall the same time he jumps youll break the lasso every time, or if you try to somehow juke the fall using the landing stones on the right or the juts halfway down the lasso breaks immediately. Bite the bullet and jump with him. If the fall damage killed you it's because you didnt heal the about 10% damage you sustain at the top of the falls dropping down the first two tiny cliffs, and you didnt land on the just right near where he lands for the second fall.

Ok. 3 more hard parts:

F. Right after a segment where you run down into a waterfall gully, (you can remember it by a landmark, a rooftop of a house, it's the only time you run on a rooftop.) Right after the rooftop, the Ram goes past the "stairs" and behind the rock the stairs go up, you DON'T want to follow him for this part, you want to get up the stairs. This is because he runs behind and jumps up to the stairs, if you follow him blindly you break lasso.

G. There is another part right at the top of the stairs just past this where you don't want to follow him the way he goes either, you want to stay to the right at the top of the stairs past the rooftop house because if you dead follow him he leads you badly.

H. Theres another part coming up where he jumps a ledge that pretty much directly blocks you, I noticed it felt like just barely too high to jump, youve got to run around the right side of it right along with him or the lasso will break. I feel that all of this can be learned through trial and error though.

The Final 2 hard parts:

I The ram will lead you through a bunch of BS that eventually leads down into a mire with very dark water, its actually a pretty scary swamp in the context of you being defenseless. Don't despair! Your almost at the end! First of all, know that the checkpoint is right at the start of the swamp, which I felt made this part easy. Second, avoid mist from the mistweavers at all costs cuz barding doesnt stop the daze, the lasso will basically break if you dont skirt the clouds, this will require some trial and error, but what else is new with this quest. At least isnt clockblocky like the waterfall. Skirt the big clouds of mist, know that you need to be at full health when you enter the water.

J. There's a part at the end where you have a TON of aggro, its getting scary, and the Ram seems to want to jump up this huge Spire. It's another fakeout! He DOES climb the spire, but you need to try to start climbing it to keep up with him as soon as you arrive or the lasso breaks, and it's tricky but he goes right, you should try left. THIS IS THE END OF THE QUEST, believe it or not. I only had to climb a quarter of the way up before the lasso felt like it was going to break but then the Ram reached safety at the top of this stone spire thing in the swamp for no good reason at all. No npcs, to save him, no nothing. Note there is a treasure in the water nearby after you exalt in passing the quest.

PS: I think this quest is genius in that, if you have a "patience is virtue, don't rage" attitude, you will FAR be able to enjoy this quest more than the average speedrunner nerd trying to do this day of XPAC release rushing thru everything and screaming. The worst part of this quest is the fact that they dont warn you that even on a perfect run this quest is impossible to do in less than 20 mins and I feel that is longer than your average WoW player achieve/mount hunter has patience for by 15 mins, but for completionists this quest is nothing imo.

Fairly simple really, in the respect that it is over quickly with the right knowledge, it's just tedious.

It's important to note THIS QUEST IS OPTIONAL skip it and come back later. Fighter's Chow makes it easier, and knowing where the fakeouts and tricks are can def make it faster. If you think this quest is the worst quest in wow history? You're just dead wrong. There's been far, far, far, worst. I saw some mention of Deep Ocean, Vast Sea. WoW, what a blast from the past i had forgotten about that EASY quest. There was a reason that quest was in Darkshore for 11s-15s, its cuz level 11 vanilla players can and did complete it no problem, its called going back up for air and bringing a friend to help kill, which back then, was a lot easier to do. A hard quest to me? is say, getting exalted with Silverwing Sentinels when you hate WSG bad cuz youve been doing it 15 years. Come back and tell me this was the worst quest in wow... after trying to get even a drop in a buckets progress on that after a full day.

You guys don't give enough credit to blizz, if they wanted it "easy" theyd have made it easy. Memorize it and its simple.Like all good video games.

As many others have said: I joined just to post this comment;

This quest is awful. Took me around 50 attempts in total.

Commentaire de Narinae

This quest could be a lot of fun if it had a much longer leash. Then you'd be following the beast, cannily laying back to watch what it does before you follow. As it is now, you have to learn what it's going to do through tedious repetition so you can anticipate it, which is not fun and makes no sense.

I'll be sitting around the fire in the hunter lodge, telling the thrilling tale: "...And then it ran around the ledge, but I knew it was going to jump way up to the path, cause I'd just watched it do that the last twelve times, so I went up the path and waited for it, and then..."

Commentaire de kabookiejoe

Just two things I have noticed with the waterfall.

1. If you have under 1m HP at the final drop you're toast.

2. When at final drop of the waterfall, when Elderhorn jumps up, time it so you fall at the same time he passes the ledge and the ropes don't break.

3.After the waterfall there will be a slanted like rock he jumps over, it's misleading, it looks like you can't run up it, but you can.

Commentaire de Okias

Commentaire de MJF3hr

If you're a hunter spec to Survival. Because chances are the waterfall bit will kill you until you figured out how to do it. And with the survival spec you have an eagle form when you're dead and can get to the corpse way faster.

Commentaire de ccmccoy

My edit from last night did not "Survive the Night." I will try again. Changing to my mountain goat mount did make a difference, but by far the most help came from the Fighter Chow and Leather Barding buffs. These made it a lot faster and easier to repeat sections until a solution is found by trial and error. It was well worth the 30 minutes it took to fish near Illidari Stand in Azshara to get the Cursed Queenfish.

There were four problem areas I had to practice several times to get it right: The third waterfall jump, The jump to the house roof, the jump back up the mountain and the turn at the top of the mountain. The key to the waterfall is to wait about two seconds after he jumps, and then just follow him into the water. The jump to the roof is rather easy if you do not try to follow his jerky path, but just jump down on the roof and wait a moment for him to catch up. Returning up the mountain is also simplified by not following him into the bushes before proceeding upwards, but to run up the path and wait for a moment for him to catch up at the left turn. Finally, do not try to follow him at the top of the mountain, rather run up the dark "path" just to the right of the torch at the top and again wait for him to catch up.

It is still an awful quest!

Commentaire de 1533088

This quest is not about leatherworking. It's not even about knowing the zone. It is full stop a quest about strategic falling.

This has to rank as one of the worst quests in all of World of Warcraft. It's long, tedious, and exploits bad terrain collision to frustrate you. And your reward is a mount that doesn't even have a unique model, ~~you can't use on non-leatherworker toons~~ and you can't even sell.

Even with barding and fighter chow, if you do not know exactly what angle to fall at you will break the leash over and over on what should be a simple, straight forward jump. You will simply have to do the same jump over and over again till you get it right. The only skill that can give you any edge in this quest is memorization (and perhaps patience, if you consider that a skill).

My one tip would be to use a smaller mount, like a goat, to minimize the amount of stuff you get stuck on while chasing.

Edit: I'm almost embarrassed this comment got so many upvotes for what is tantamount to raging. I wanted to amend the fact you CAN use this moose on alts regardless if they have leather working or not, unlike our previous crafted mount. Whether this was changed since I got it or negligence from blind fury that made me overlook it I'm not sure. I apologize for the misinformation. Either way, even months after doing it, I still don't think it was worth the headache.

Commentaire de Gracin

Just finished it, and honestly I'm not sure why there are so many complaints about this. I watched maybe half of a video two weeks ago when somebody was complaining about this on MMO, just to see what the fuss was. All I used today was fighter chow, and was able to finish the entire run in less than 30 minutes. I was only dazed three times, I rope broke maybe 12 times, and that's including the 6 tries it took me on the waterfall.

As far as tips go...

1. Don't bite on every juke he makes.
2. If he rope breaks, stop where you're at and look around at why he got away, and find a better path for the next time.
3. If you get dazed, kill that mob and a couple around it. This prevents further dazing, and will likely relieve any stress.
4. The way I see it, the waterfall is the only really the only place that is all about timing. Everything else is more positioning.
5. Don't worry, be happy. Seriously the entire run takes like 15 minutes if you don't ^&*! up. There are plenty of "save points" throughout it, so don't get so stressed about it.

All in all, I still think that this is far easier than the Captain Skyshatter quest from Netherwing rep in BC.

Commentaire de erro3

On the waterfall part I found this helpful for me:
• Start on the rock right below the moose (the first one he jumps on). You can still click on him from here.
• If you are adept enough, toggle your run/walk when jumping from rock to rock. Several times I overshot the second jump because my speed was too fast. Walking helped remedy this.
• Don't jump from the tall waterfall right away. He makes a huge leap, so wait until he is about mid-air before you follow.
• I did not use any health rejuv buffs. It is possible to do without. I landed the last waterfall with about 66k hp.
• Remember to breathe. This quest requires a lot of patience. Getting past the waterfall is the hardest part. The rest is primarily just sticking with the moose and learning the quirks of following him.

Commentaire de maitri

Here are a few tips that helped me get past the waterfall:

Get 5 stacks of Empathy from giving Nightborne Wretches 5 arcane mana in Suramar (increases health by 50%).
Go ahead and hop down to the first ledge before you start the channeling spell. You can click the moose to activate the encounter from there.
Hit forward slash "/" (the button to make you RP walk) to help you go from the first ledge to the second without falling too far. Be ready to immediately turn it back off because you can't keep up and the lasso will break after he jumps again.
Before he makes the 3rd jump, go ahead and run into the little recess where the waterfall is--it seems to reduce the drop and makes it a bit easier to aim.
For the 4th jump try to hop onto the pillar on the right, then drop to the ground.

I'd strongly recommend just doing a "dry run" trying out these maneuvers so you can try it out without all the pressure. If you're getting pissed (as I was doing this about a week ago), just come back to it in a few days.

If you have a priest friend, it would be interesting to see if they can stand at the bottom and cast Leap of Faith (I can't remember if it can be cast on mounted units).

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Presenting the ~~new~~ "worst quest ever made"! Mounting Made Easy!*

Seriously, this is without a doubt the worst quest in the game. An exercise in absolute frustration for a lousy ground mount that is a recolor of a previous mount... that can't even be sold on the auction house. I will NOT be redoing this quest on any other of my leatherworkers. It's just not worth it, and I feel more regret in wasting my time doing this quest then any sort of accomplishment.

A true example of "maximum effort for minimum reward". Quest acts like it's reward is a legendary, but it's just a pattern for a basic ground mount. Truly a failure in game design.

Also I wonder if the person who designed this quest was forced, kicking and screaming I'd imagine, to put in those checkpoints by another who actually had a brain and empathy for the paying players.

*Paid in Blood dethroned this quest and now holds the mantle of "worst quest ever made."

Commentaire de littlekeloid08

The checkpoints I had were
- Around Aggramar's vault, where the blue dragons are
- On top of the waterfall near Weeping Bluffs
- Next to Cullen's Post flight point
- Cliff edge near Talonrest
- At the entrance of the swamp (this is the last area before the quest is finished)

Sorry I don't have the coordinates for the checkpoints, I was too frustrated to think to note them.

Commentaire de rhaza

Amazing quest but its one of the hardest quests i ever seen ingame since vanilla.

As said before:

Before you start this quest you need to have these two things:
1. Fighter Chow - buy it on AH or make it yourself, recipe Recipe: Fighter Chow is a reward for Morale Booster quest in Azsuna. You need this food because there will be an area with the waterfall where Great Northern Elderhorn will jump down and you'll take fall damage. You can make it without food but it'll be much harder.
2. Stonehide Leather Barding - buy or craft, the recipe Recipe: Stonehide Leather Barding is a reward for doing Leatherworking quest Dazed of the Past. As i said he'll run into packs of wildlife so the mobs will daze you if you don't have Stonehide Leather Barding. You can do it without barding but it'll take you few attempts because you'll have to kill mobs and make an attempt before they respawn.

And pray to not be ganked during quest, lol

Commentaire de valentin25

This is really not as painful as some people are making it out to be. Took me about 8 resets on the waterfall, then three in the cliff drop in the vrykul area, and 2 in the harbor.

For the waterfall, my suggestion is to back your mount off the first two cliff drops, then run forward and to your left to leap to a stone against the cliff face, and just wait for the elderhorn to make its drop and follow it down. No need to leap upward. I land with about 10% health.

I'm not sure if tank spec still helps avoid being dismounted, but I didn't get dismounted once by mobs (guardian druid). I don't have any falling damage prevention AFAICT.

There's a couple of "gotchas" you will have to remember along the remainder of the run, but it's nothing like getting the hang of the waterfall.

The quest that broke the camel's back. Crafting profession quests are a complete barrier to levelling profession and enjoying LW in this expansion. Dropping LW from my main to take up two gathering professions, which are not a time-consuming waste of my limited in-game time.

Bliss game designers need to have a long hard soul search and figure out if they understand what actually makes people spend money on their game.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Onyx1831##DELIM##

Mounting made not easy.
Wtf blizzard I went fell off waterfalls
waterfalls- plural!

Commentaire de Boxofbeer

Okay, this quest is hard enough nad takes long time, you will chase that moose across all Stormheim zone.
As people said, there are two items are good to take on this quest:

Rata des combattants will help you keep your health at max level.
Barde en cuir de peau-roche will protect you from being dazed from mobs.

Remember, if you got dismounted by any cause, you will fail the quest and have to get back. There are also few "checkpoints", which you will return to if moose gone away, so dont afraid if you failed after 5 minutes of chasing. There are three long parts i can split this quest to:

From start till waterfalls.
When you pick up the quest, Grand noble-bois du Nord located at 62.6 23.5 in Stormheim. That area is a FFA PVP zone (there also may be a world pvp quest), so you may be killed few times at this step. No else problems should be there, just use barding, eat food and run the event.
From waterfall till Hrydshal.
Most annoying part, but if you fail there, moose will respawn next to the waterfall, so you dont need to start from pvp area. There are few things:
- Start from the rock below the moose.
- Switch run to walk, if your speed is fast and you overjump 2nd stone.
- Jump from 2nd stone before moose does, else he runs away.
- Don't jump down from the tall waterfall right away. Wait when moose will make a huge leap, and jump when it falls down.
- From Hrydshal till end.
  When you run out from Hrydshal's walls and there'll be a point where you jump from cliff on to a big stone, moose will jump down (there you'll see a house down, next to water), then you'll see a path up, but moose will turn right. Dont believe him, follow the path up, it will jump up to you. Further there will be Hellmouth shallows, where you'll meet vrukyls with auras, that slow, try to dodge them. Chase will be finished at 55 47 point, moose jumps on the top of really huge stone, so just wait down there.

After the quest you'll get this recipe as a reward:

There are many leatherworking profession quests in Legion, 42 total, check out under the spolier, if missed something. You also need to be at least 600 in Leatherworking to pick up the final quest L’équitation pour les nuls, which rewards you Patron : harnais de monte de noble-bois recipe to "craft" Grand noble-bois du Nord mount.

Commentaire de rational

The most idiotic quest. Game developer that came up with this one should be removed. The quest is not using any old or new game mechanics to challenge the player. Instead the game is constantly trying to trick the player of doing to wrong thing - move to close to the cliff, jump of the cliff, pulling large groups of mobs... etc - what is the idea of a quest like this?

Commentaire de JStryker47

Is there ANY POINT AT ALL in doing this GODAWFUL quest, other than earning some mount recipe that I can't even learn yet- let alone craft?

Commentaire de crazygeo

Is this by far the most stupid quest blizzard have ever made

Commentaire de RBell

This quest. IT was terrible.
The worst.
I only finished it due to some people having an excellent guide. Thank you all.

Commentaire de boggartsc

This is the worst quest I've seen in 11 years.

The guide I see is generally correct, but there's no way to know which "second stone" or "big stone" is until you see it, and generally looking around will be too slow and you fail. I.e. there is almost no way to do this the first try without a lot of luck, even with fast reflexes. So don't feel bad.

There is an important tip to note when leaping especially at that awful waterfall section: don't actually "jump." As in, forget you have a spacebar. If you are a reflexive spacebar-jumper, you're going to have to force yourself to just walk off the edge.

From the checkpoint / top of the waterfall: it's okay to overshoot the first leap the moose takes, but don't move until it catches up to you. As soon as moose goes off edge, walk off edge. If you land next to moose, great. If you overshoot and land on very next ledge, should be fine. Be ready to take large step off to the right into that small pool below you.

The "big leap" Boxofbeer mentions is one of the things wrong with the quest: the moose's actions are not consistent. From this small pool, it leaps into the air suddenly and has hang time like a Space Jam basketball player for no apparent reason. If you leap off the cliff anticipating its jump, you fail. If you wait until its near bottom of that jump, you fail. Wait until it finishes its slow majestic arc and starts falling down, then just walk off edge.

The next minute is simple enough - make sure not to get hung up on trees or two inch ground clutter - but there's a point running along the cliff where it leaps down on the rocks next to it. STAY UP NEAR THE PATH ON EDGE OF CLIFF. There are a few sections with broken world geography where you will get stuck, which will fail quest if you get stuck for more than half a second, where you can't easily jump back up from once unstuck, and which moose doesn't actually stay on for more than 0.01 seconds so no need to have jumped there in first place. GG Blizz.

This is everything that's wrong with "content" design.

- It's long and boring and serves as no measure of any kind of skill whatsoever.
- Instead of a skill challenge where you pick up on what's going on as you play, the moose does erratic random things that "fool" you. This is like being a crummy DM in an old paper RPG: the dev thinks they've accomplished something by providing conflicting information to the player. Example: first few leaps are, go as soon as moose goes or you fail. Game trains you to follow moose closely. On third leap from waterfall, suddenly magic anti-gravity leap and if you do what you were trained to do from first few leaps, you fail. There is no way to know this leap is "don't instantly go off cliff" when first few were "instantly go off cliff." Bad design.
- Any system that requires you to leave the game in order to play the game is a bad system. You should be able to get all the info you need in the game, and it should be possible to complete on the first try using in-game info as you play and think about what's going on.
- Trial and error is not compelling gameplay under any circumstances. It's what raids are centered around, and "progression" is its own niche activity, and a large part of it is team cohesion. A solo quest where you have to memorize the answers ahead of time is not skill. Back in my day, having to go look up and memorize the exact answers to something was called "cheating."
- Only way to do it outside of cheating is to fail it a billion times and memorize each inconsistent variation along the way.

So if you came here because you couldn't figure out what you were doing wrong: you were probably doing nothing wrong. It's just a crappy quest.

Commentaire de Hellmatador

after dying like a hundred time at the waterfall (rage quitting twice), I finally got it to the bridge.... (by then I was sure I had found a new checkpoint) to painfully discover that my freaking Tauren on the tundra mammoth is not able to get under the bridge... yeah i failed again to find out the waterfall is still my &?%?( checkpoint. Rage quitting for the third time!

DO NOT ATTEMPT with a Tauren on a mammoth!

Commentaire de Sraifer

This does not feel rewarding at all. Its literally 15 minutes (Assuming you don't die or lose it) of following this stupid thing around all over the damn place. And for what? A mount that only my LW can use. Thats it. This LW isn't even my main. Not worth the effort.

Commentaire de VioletPheonix

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is the fact that the rope likes to vanish randomly. You know it's bad when the rope nopes out of the quest leaving you to freaking GUESS if you are too far away at times or nearing it. Eventually after my 3-4 invisible snap, the nothing started glowing red. Still this was super helpful in the wooded areas. /s

Seemed to happen after I hit the invisible checkpoints so look out for it and good luck!

Here's the easy way I tackled this quest:
1. Prepare a bit and read up on the quest since I saw people complaining about it.
2. Get a Leather Barding on before you start
3. Get to the waterfall bit
4. Abandon the quest forever.
edit:
5. Abandon leatherworking and pick up ~~moneyprinting~~ alchemy(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Onyx1831##DELIM##

Commentaire de cstober2010

Well, you can survive the falling damage...you just need to heal in between each fall. How would you heal without dismounting, though? The answer is Rata des combattants + 2set class order hall bonus. These both increase health regeneration significantly. I'm not sure if they stack, and I'm not really sure if it'll work...but I'm on my way to try now! I will post back with the results.

edit: Indeed it worked! With fighter chow + 2set bonus, you will be healing 20% a tick. This is just enough to keep you alive if you take one ledge at a time. I'd also recommend Barde en cuir de peau-roche to avoid getting dazed/dismounted and also I'd suggest a mount that you can jump while standing still without triggering a roar/etc. For example, Mécabécane. Using this, you can jump first then move in the direction so you don't jump way too far.

Commentaire de SpugDarktyde

I've registered... just to post this comment on my Stupidity...

The quest starts "Mount up, and capture the..."

Having drawn aggro on the way in, I popped some aoe, dropping the surrounding beasties down to 10% health, and suddenly, they were mountable. Glancing between my quest notes, and these mountable beasties, I swiftly made 5 out of 2+2. Riding a rather grumpy bear I struggled to keep up with the Elk. It ran faster than me, so using my cunning guile, I guessed where it was heading, and tried to keep ahead. Every time it passed a rock, I'd lose the leash. Didn't matter whether I was ahead, behind, On...

Then I worked it out, these mounts cant leave the pvp area... you're supposed to use one of your own mounts...

30 minutes it took me to work this out.

Dont be a dumb Boomie like me.

Commentaire de Catsel

Now who on blizz came up with the brilliant idea of starting this quest in a WORLD PVP AREA? I'm getting killed there, losing my food buffs and ofc the elderhorn... I just rage quit and went for fast walk in the rain to get rid of all the ANGER! Someone should get fired!

One thing that makes things easier for me that hasn't been mentioned - set the camera to never adjust (In Interface - Camera) that way you can move it where you can see around trees, rocks and other assorted obstacles that obstinate moose puts in your path. Afterward put the camera back where you had it for gameplay.

Commentaire de Devious05

I watched this video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eI7kbwZG2s at double speed to see the types of actions he performs. After that it only took about 40 mins. Only a couple of harder bits where he jumps down into the water/near river I had to redo a couple times to perfect. The checkpoints are incredibly helpful as once you get past a difficult section you dont have to redo it.

Commentaire de Zabrina

Just a little tip, if you need to start again at the waterfall checkpoint, you can jump down to the first rock and then click him to start again. Saves one jump at least.

Commentaire de shadowedscholar

I've used two, two! stonehide bardings so far, and still not done with this damn quest. I've gotten to the area just before the helmouth shallows, but the damn animal breaks the lasso on the last jump. 16 hours of trying so far, and all I've got to show is an empty bottle of jack.

I'm not sure if someone decided to get creative with a quest, but had no understanding of what the hu-mans consider fun, or if they had a childhood trauma watching someone get dragged by a horse. Either way, these are the kinds of quests that really make you wonder if it is even worth having the damn profession. I've been tempted to just say screw it and take up herbalism or mining instead. Honestly I just want the stupid mount just so I can jump it into lava, or under water, or since I'm immune to fall damage, jumping off the highest cliffs I can find and just praying it snaps the damn things legs.

Edit: 1/25/17, I was finally able to do it, and here was the trick. I ended up trying it at my friends place on campus. The fiber network the university had dropped my ping really low, and I was able to complete it. Good thing to know that you need a really impressive net connection for this. :/

Commentaire de DmiAlleria

Hardest part is the waterfall. After you fail, start from the first drop off the waterfall; you can still click the moose to start it from there. After the moose drops to where you are, face towards the wall and drop down twice. The moose will drop down again then make a big drop; drop down with him. Next step is where the moose jumps up in the air and makes a big fall. While he's jumping up, run off to the right side (don't jump) and land on the ledge right there (there was an eagle perched there when I did it). Once the moose is level with you, drop down with him. When I did it this way, I took almost no fall damage. The key was to get below the moose before each of the big falls.

It's funny that when you start this escort, a 30 min timer starts. At first I was like, "Is this REALLY going to take me 30 mins?" Lets just say it took me almost an hour of dying, ropes breaking and fridge runs for beers before finally capturing this majestic son of a beast! Now to get my leatherworking up 40 more points to 800 so I can scribe the recipe! Good luck all!

Commentaire de Althalus20

Ready for a painstaking, slightly fatal tour of every useless nook, cranny and wart of Western Stormheim? Wonderful!
Your tour guide today is Moose-by #$%^ a.k.a. Big White B$#%! You'll find yourself coming up with all sorts of fun nicknames for him, let your Imagination Soar!(off a cliff, like your sanity + your toon's battered corpse)

Sooo, I hate myself apparently and decided not to use the suggested barding( or fighter chow for the waterfall) Just didn't feel like this quest was challenging enough. I made it until the last Kvaldir phase without being dismounted by mobs. Some pre-clearing near the final checkpoint fixed that.

Tips:

Thank goodness for Checkpoints: You can still use harness from first waterfall landing.

Bob and weave: Use trees, rocks, etc to slow down/LOS aggro'd mobs.

Take a moment: To study waterfall and basilisk area to efficiently jump and overtake B.W.B. at key points. Face rock when jumping waterfalls to take smaller controlled jumps. Try to land on small rock pillar at the bottom to conserve health. Hang right and jump up near top of basilisk stairs, don't follow the path.

Swing that camera: The camera nerf is felt when he tries to lose you in the dense tree areas.

Remember Kids: Mounts are worth it! tm

Commentaire de alterecho

I made a raid group and had someone mark a lot of the spots where the moose tries to juke you. (After the waterfall madness) Also using Fighter Chow and a Stonehide Leather Barding is a necessity to completing this insufferable quest.

Commentaire de AKPlayer

The quest is very creative and like the one in WoD.

The quest at the Waterfall is complete BS and should be reworked. The fact you can't take multiple hits like that without DYING is the problem.

Maybe a BUFF should be applied when you are in that phase that prevents you from dying? Have a healer buddy sit at mid way point and toss you some heals and it should be fine.

HATED this quest and I think it's stupid we have something that requires 800 to make in the middle of the quest chain for this profession. Having +5 Profession points on something that requires MAX profession to get is even more silly.

Sorry - but I hate this quest almost as much as the "Like the Wind" ones.

I can't figure out how to get this quest to show up. After reading all of these posts, however, I've decided I'm ok with that.

Commentaire de chooi

Preparation is key.

This quest actually isn't that bad now thanks to the internet and Guide des îles Brisées, première partie

Do yourself a favor and get a Barde en cuir de peau-roche and Rata des combattants. Also, either quickly watch a video guide or get the TomTom waypoints someone linked in the comments. All this will save you a lot of time and especially frustration.

Now, just start the quest line. You will fail once or twice at some point but overall it's manageable. With Pathfinder you can easily ride a bit in front of the moose so you can react better to its movements. Remember that there are checkpoints you can start from again. It took me only around 30min to finish this quest, including preparations.

PS: Being a Hunter helps, too. For RP reasons - obviously.

Commentaire de ShadowWolf11

After I make this mount, I want to skin it. That's how I felt about this quest lol.

I did like the amount of checkpoints we got though. I believe I had about 4 or 5 checkpoints with my constant messing up/moose being a turd.

Commentaire de sidhebane

My main issue with this is that the furry bugger CHEATS. He'll lead you past the beginning of a ramp up, then suddenly make an impossible (for YOU) jump to the top of the ramp, and if you try to go back to the beginning to go up the ramp, *snap*. You literally have to know ahead of time what he's going to do, meaning that this is intended for a ton of trial-and-error repeats (which is stupid) or coming out to wowhead before you start.

Commentaire de Hexatomon

Funnest thing of all about this quest?

Once you finally manage to complete it (without any sense of satisfaction whatsoever mind you, just a seething feeling of hate towards anything and everything WoW-related) and stone back to Dalaran to pick up your reward?

...You need skill level 800 to even learn the damn recipe you're given! Haha! HAHAHAA! AHAHAHAA! *goes insane*

Commentaire de kalito1982

I don't know if it was introduced recently or if it was always there but you're able to resume the quest in the place you interrupted it for some reason (died by falling or w/e). It worked like it for me. I fell down, I died, I ressed, went up and the elderhorn were waiting for me to resume quest.

Not that bad.

Commentaire de theglynja

Absolutely without doubt the worst, most aggravating, most demoralising, most pointlessly spiteful quest in the entire history of Warcraft. Ever. The fact that all you get at the end of this is a mount rather than a GOD code that means you can never, ever be ganked by anyone ever again, or a lifetime's supply of solid gold bars, supermodels, Edelweiss and Unobtanium, or time travel is the greatest betrayal in the history of humankind since Nikolai Tesla's research was hidden by JP Morgan, or the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 signed into law.

I'd love to say something positive and encouraging but the best I can do is this - in preparation for this quest:

1. Buy pot. Lots of pot.
2. Wrap your entire computer in bubble wrap, especially the mouse and keyboard;
3. Remove all fragile objects from the room you play Warcraft in;
4. Remove all heavy objects from the room you play Warcraft in;
5. Remove all sharp objects from the room you play Warcraft in;
6. Close all doors and windows, and add additional soundproofing as necessary;
7. Ensure the house is evacuated of other people. Do NOT attempt this quest in a cybercafe, in public, or anywhere near small children or animals;
8. Have a paramedic, masseur, priest, and the Dalai Lama on stand-by in the room next-door;
9. Have a ready supply of throat lozenges;
10. Ensure your will is signed, with a notary and executor appointed.

Given the amount of money I've sent Blizzard's way since Wrath of the Lich King, this quest made me like Jon McCain. Let me explain. Before this quest I was a passionate advocate of human rights. Having died 10, 20, maybe more times and only made it down the waterfall once...only to get my mount stuck 20 seconds later...I am now a strong believer in corporal punishment, especially waterboarding. Not waterboarding of anyone and everyone, mind you. Just very specific waterboarding of anyone working for Blizzard Entertainment or associated companies who had anything to do with this quest making it into the game, including the beta testers who didn't do a good enough job of massacring Blizzard coders in Game of Thrones thumbs-in-the-eye-sockets fashion, in order to defend the sanity of every leatherworking WoW player who came after them.

This quest substantially altered my views on leatherworking, Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment, Americans, waterfalls, the state of California, moose, gaming, and the sound a whip makes when it cracks. I will never again be able to attend a stag night for as long as I live. I have to wear plastic shoes. Anytime someone says a word that rhymes with "venison", I have to be shot in the neck immediately with a tranquilliser dart. The last time I wasn't shot in the neck with a tranquilliser dart after hearing the word "venison", I killed everyone on the train.

I'm writing this posting from the hospital. They let me use the computer once every month, on the second Thursday. I'm not as good a player now though, what with all the ketamine they have me on. On Saturdays we get jello and every six months someone from my family is allowed in to visit me. Hannibal Lecter has the room opposite mine and is a great conversationalist.

Seriously Blizz, isn't the world dark enough already without this quest? See you next Tuesday guys. See you next Tuesday...

Commentaire de ggregt

Well 118 comments later, yes, this can be completed on a flying mount. Eensy bit easier, I'm guessing.

Commentaire de Aeus

Now that 7.2 is here, confirming that this quest CAN be completed on a flying mount, trivializing much/all of the annoyance factor of this quest.

The only condition is that if you are on a flying mount when you reach the top of the waterfall jumps, the moose will despawn without a rope-break or notice of any kind (or he did the two times I approached the falls on a flier, anyway). Recommend using a ground mount for the first leg of the quest; once you have the checkpoint at the top of the waterfall, you can let him jump off, wait for him to reset, get on your flying mount, and complete the rest of the quest with wings.

Commentaire de ShamrockSoup

As of today (12APR2017) it is possible to do this quest with a flying mount. I highly suggest waiting until you have flight unlocked. There is a bug that causes the rope to disappear with no warning or reason. If that happens just complete the checkpoint so you get credit for it.
However, you will still want a Stonehide Leather Barding active.

Commentaire de kitkat2

Just an FYI: When going over the falls, If you use a fighter chow, but die anyway because you overshot and fell too far, remember to use another fighter chow before you try again because when you die, the buff falls off and you will just die again, even if you land as planned.

Commentaire de kitkat2

For anyone wondering where the first checkpoint is after the waterfall, if you make it a bit past Lorna's Watch and lose the moose, you should be good to go and he'll be waiting for you just up the road a bit from Lorna's Watch and you won't have to go all the way back up to the top of the waterfall if you lose him after the waterfall and before completing the quest.

Commentaire de Arcblade

I can happily report that as of 7.2, with flying, this is much much easier to get. It's still extremely annoying, but you don't really need special food, gear, etc. anymore. It's just really long and frustrating, as opposed to viciously deadly and nearly impossible.

As of this post, the rope length and timing is still geared towards ground mounts, which means that at the waterfall jump and some other large jumps, your rope may snap even though you are flying right next to him, or the rope may simply despawn. If that happens, just fly yourself back to the last checkpoint (shows up on the minimap when you're near it), and tag him again.

(By the way, if the rope despawns, in my experience he will as well within a couple minutes. Just head back to the last checkpoint and pick him up again.)

Commentaire de SaSkIn

After 7.2 you can do that with flying mount. I just did it. I was stuck at waterfall i clicked it said you need mount i used ironbound proto drake and it worked. I'm not sure if its intended or not but if you still on the quest use flying mount :)

Commentaire de Giawiigi

This quest is CAKE with flying. You're welcome <3

Commentaire de Aerynsun8449

What I'm having trouble with is the damn thing disappearing when I'm right next to him. The rope didn't break, he just disappeared and I have to go back to the last save point.

And what's with all the mob run throughs? Seriously, Helmouth Shallows he runs up to every damn mob. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is up with that? I swear, these damn programmers sit back and laugh thinking of things to do to f with us. I don't want it to be easy, hand it to me on a silver platter, but seriously, every damn mob in the place? He even ran up to Captain Sten and jumped over him. Seriously blizzard, check your programmers for drugs.

Commentaire de agmystere

The best way to complete this quest is wait until you get flying. Then, it becomes a LOT easier.

Commentaire de tarc

This is almost comically easy in 7.2 with flight.

Commentaire de Frostmint

As of 7.2 once you unlock Broken Isles flying this quest becomes super easy. Since flying won't break the rope, all you have you do is hovering above the moose and laugh at the tricks that it is trying to fool you. Even if you failed you can simply fly back to last checkpoint, instead of climbing the mountains again and again.

Commentaire de ratspootin

Is the moose de-spawning at the waterfall for anyone else? I follow the moose into the water and he despawns. I haven't tried staying on the rocks to the left yet.

Commentaire de HavenCeles

I never in my life thought that I would ever build up such an unrelenting rage and need to punch a moose in the face. I guess there is a first time for everything.

Commentaire de quiztic

Just did this with flying unlocked, So if anyone is wondering, YES it can be done on a flying mount! :D

Commentaire de Gnomegurl

This is by far one of the worst quests I've ever done in WoW.

Even with flying now, make sure you use your Stonehide Leather Barding. I lost him once when I got dismounted and could not fly up enough to get out of combat.

Also, I suggest using a smaller flying mount so you can see as he drags you through every mob in Stormheim.

Commentaire de TheVeiledGhost

Some tips:
- Do NOT use mounts like the Mechano-Hog or any too large. I used the Dustmane Direwolf and worked just fine.
- When jumping off a cliff, let him go first because he will pause in the air and drop slowly.
- Best to wait until you are 110 with somewhat better gear to handle the damage when falling or being attacked.
- Make sure your health isn't low before starting the quest.
- Be prepared for him to make the most ridiculous turns.

Warning: This is the most time consuming and painful quest in the game. I swear Blizzard is trying to troll us with this one.

Commentaire de greencatspryte

Firstly, I applaud all the people who did this quest using ground mounts, many gratz for your tenacity and reflexes! :)

I just succeeded after many fails, this time using a flying mount.

I won't go into the details of the quest as they're well documented in many other entries here, just a comment that it is valuable to know the route in advance, so thanks to everyone who posted info on that.

A few recommends: definitely need Stonehide Leather Barding active (so you don't fall off when mobs on the journey hit you). Use a very neat flying mount (I used the Flying Red Cloud), it's distracting enough being run through bushes and mobs without your mount further obscuring your line of sight to the moose. Keep in mind that some flying mounts will deactivate in water, so be careful at the start and finish if you do use the disc. Stay close! Stick with him like a blowfly!

Comment: I happened to do this when the buff Reinforced Reins was active (from one of the buildings on the broken shore) it allows you to interact with objects while mounted, I don't think it's essential for this quest, but made me feel better :)

Good luck and have fun.

Commentaire de Maccaru

With flying this quest is trivial :D Glad I didn't bother leveling leather working before it became possible.

Commentaire de schmilblick

Should be renamed "Bad Quest Design Made Easy".

Commentaire de Zaryx

This is alot easier after you unlock flying. I did not even bother trying before patch 7.2 tho', I figured it would hopefully be nerfed or something in the future, and in the meantime I'd like to keep my sanity.
Tested with flying mount, and it works. Just don't use the Red Flying Cloud, it does not handle the swimming before the waterfall very well, I learned the hard way. There are some checkpoints now,
if you accidently break off the rope (not sure if it has always been, since I never tried it before), or its bugged like it was for me, right before jumping onto the first of the two bridges you need to cross,
the Elderhorn just disappeared into thin air, instead of jumping up onto the bridge. The checkpoint when that happened was before the jump down the waterfall. Something similar happened again not
long after the second bridge, but luckily the "checkpoint" wasnt too far back that time. If you, like me, waited for it to be easier, you can safely do it after you unlock flying. Good luck! :)

Commentaire de Varur

For those trying this with flying, second part (from dragons to waterfall) does not seem to work with flying mounts. On my attempt, elderhorn despawned as he swam towards the checkpoint. I ended up doing this part on a ground mount.

Commentaire de dasbaum

If the moose de-spawning at the waterfall, use a ground mount! Don't use a flying mount, it will break the quest script.

It seems the mechanics for the quest only work with ground mounts, because it was designed before flying was patched in, thus it never got tested by QA with a flying mount.

Commentaire de Robbiex0x

I just did this quest with a flying mount and it was the worst quest I have ever done. I Can't begin to fathom the dev who thought this gem up. Honestly who in their right mind would believe this was an enjoyable quest? Hey you know when we give the generic go kill 10 bear quest and collect 10 patches of fur and the player base complains when the bear doesn't drop fur 100% of the time? Yeah, I just thought of a quest that will be 100x more fun. I'm utterly impressed by anyone who did this quest pre-flying. This should be a test for a potential applicant for a guild, If someone can complete this quest without being bitter, no matter how tough mythic progression gets, they will always stay positive.

Commentaire de GeodesicDragon

I can confirm that this is doable while flying.

I did, and it was so much easier; there was less tearing out of what little hair I have left.

Commentaire de 3allz

Yep flying helps a lot. Did it in 10 minutes with flying but the main thing was using Prydaz for the passive absorb. It prevented any dazes for the later parts where ranged and flying mobs can't be brought out of combat by simply flying up a few meters. I also recommend marking the Elderhorn so you can easily track her, which comes especially useful towards the end when it runs through some trees.

Commentaire de hullflyer

This quest can be done on a flying mount if you can fly in the Broken Isles, and it makes the whole thing much easier, if only slightly less tedious. Two things, however. First, use a small mount like a gryphon - large ones can get caught up on the terrain, and the Elderhorn sometimes squeezes through small areas. Second, you will still need the Barde en cuir de peau-roche, as there are a couple of areas where flying enemies will come after you, and you don't want to get knocked off.

Commentaire de Aldristavan

In the DECADE that I have played this game, this is the absolute *!@#ing worst quest ever. I've never wanted to put my fist through a monitor so much.

Commentaire de Bogdanov89

With a 280% flying mount this quest is easy and boring.

Just keep up with the deer when it jumps somewhere, it falls really fast and the rope breaks swiftly if you are not flying straight with it.

Commentaire de mashi

I can confirm that you can use flying mount.. don't know if dragons will work though but I used Monture du Cavalier sans tête. The quest name is exactly what it says.. it's soooo much easier with flying mounts.

I spent hours trying to do this on feet then I kept failing on the waterfalls, and so, I gave up for 2 month until I got my flying ability.

Good Luck.

Commentaire de soneil

I read the guides on here expecting it to be pretty challenging but clearly it's a lot easier now that flying in broken isles is available.

I actually expected that I wouldn't be able to do it on a flying mount but it worked just fine and made it almost trivially easy. Partly because flying mounts are faster making it easier to keep up. Partly because with a flying mount you don't have to worry about damage form the big falls. You simply fly down after the moose. Also and perhaps most importantly, with a flying mount, you can easily hop over obstacles that would be very easy to get caught on otherwise.

In short, if you don't have flying yet, you can make this quest far easier by doing it when you can fly. If you still want the challenge of course there's nothing stopping you from doing it on a ground mount. I still used the leather barding as suggested in other comments and I can see how it would have been a lot harder if I hadn't used that as you still go through a lot of hostile groups.

Commentaire de JoeDave

If I wanted to play platform games I wouldn't be playing wow

Commentaire de Shadowewolfe

I don't suppose there is an addon for this quest, one that highlights the path taken by the moose in the game? Would be so very awesome if someone who knows how to make such addons would, PLEEEEEAAASSSSE?

Commentaire de mange3

Even with flying this was really annoying and took a long time.

Commentaire de surii

If you happen to have flying while doing this quest... that makes a GIANT difference!

Commentaire de projecteulogy

I'm gonna assume its a bug where you touch the water the moose despawns, even if you're flying above him. I don't see the point in that being a mechanic..I understand people have problems at home, but whoever made this quest can suck on a rail road spike.

Commentaire de psych0sis

Just in case you weren't unfortunate enough to level LW before flying, this quest can be done while mounted on a flyer. It's still long, tedious, and hate-inducing. But it's 1000x easier.

Commentaire de riverdude

Doing this with a flying mount is easier. DO NOT BRING A FOLLOWER ALONG! Followers just get in the way and hide when he makes turns. Also, as someone else mentioned, do not touch the water when he is near waterfalls, lakes, rivers and streams. Be prepared for him to just stop, especially when he is hidden in trees as you can easily overshoot him and break the lasso. I found that at various points he "sets a way point/flag" so that if you break the lasso, you only have to go back to that point, not all the way to the beginning.

Commentaire de Taus

What kills me about this quest is that because of the way dev teams work, more than one person had to think this was a good idea. Like a person came up with it, thought it would be fun, and then managed to convince at least one other person that this was fun.

Commentaire de timboslice77

Some updated pointers for this quest (Patch 7.2.5)

- Flying makes this quest much simpler and I would suggest not even attempting this quest until you obtain flying. I had to only attempt this quest a few times in order to complete it, post-flying.

- There is no need for set bonuses or special food for this quest anymore. I had an ilvl around 895 and the lowest health I reached was about 70%.

- The only 'necessary' item I would recommend would be Barde en cuir de peau-roche. This way you do not get dazed while mobs attack you.

- There are multiple checkpoints along the way in case you get distracted or fail the quest. Do not feel obligated to complete the whole quest in one sitting, especially if you get frustrated.

- If your character appears as though they are holding the leash but there is not a visible leash on the screen, you have failed the quest. When you get to the next checkpoint, the elderhorn will disappear and you will have to restart.

Lastly, I am so sorry to those who must have attempted this quest dozens, if not hundreds of times to complete this quest before flying. Even with flying some of the jumps were difficult and I am not sure how you did it, /salute.

Commentaire de Legion82

ok, so for me the elderhorn vanishes as soon as i touch the water coming up to the waterfall part. i have tried multiple times on different mounts. also kept going to the edge of the waterfall but hes back at the 1st checkpoint. anyone else have this problem?
cheers

Commentaire de fiddybux

I don't care about this anymore. I tried a few times and as for not being able to see because of zoom and trees, and the sheer frustration of it, I decided to abandon and carry on enjoying the game. This quest, for me, will spoil my fun. So, bye bye "Mounting Made Complicated and Frustrating" - I'm no longer concerned about you! Might as well uninstall Quest Completist add-on now, because this quest is NEVER getting done by me.

Commentaire de RolandAllen

Too short... They should add Valdisdall, Haustvald, Runewood and Greywatch to the route.

Commentaire de Kaema222

Ok people, I might be onto something there.
Try clearing the Quest in Sandstone Drake form, as I did.
You'll be quite fast and will follow him more easily. AND you can fly and therefore avoid being aggro'ed.
It might be still a pain in the neck but quite a bit less painful, as you'll see.

Commentaire de Alteir

Just did this for the first time, pretty frustrating experience since it had a tendency to despawn randomly (always following the rope becoming invisible). However, progress seems to be saved at checkpoints now, because I didn't have to go back to the start to resume, the Elderhorn instead respawned at points along the route. Despawned about 3-4 times before I was done. I'm glad I decided to do it now instead of at launch.

Commentaire de RustyisaCowboy

This quest was 1000% easier on a flying mount (able to fly in Broken Isles). I was stuck at the part where he jumps off a cliff near Cullen's Post, waited until I got Flying, then finished the quest in ten minutes.

Commentaire de Elfizm

There's already a lot of information posted about this quest, so briefly, I managed it quite well with circa 300 latency. I did lose him three times, he didn't get away from me I was on his flank the whole time, he just disappeared from my screen. But at least you don't have to start over if you do lose sight of him. Just track the quest and check your map, there will be an arrow pointing the way to him and a mark on your map where he's patiently standing so you can resume the chase.

I'd say doing this quest after flying being allowed has taken a lot of the sting out of it. Barding, marking the Elderhorn with a blue square and decent latency makes it far less stressful.

Commentaire de Fetzie

This is made considerably easier by having a flying mount.

No falling damage to worry about
No daze to worry about
No pathing to worry about

Commentaire de MetalGenocide

Couldn't find it anywhere, but be warned, he despawns when you get in the water if you are using a flying mount (at least he always did for me).
After the first check point (next to two dragons) use a ground only mount, then once you are at the top of the waterfall, break the leash when he does the first jump.
Mount up on your flying mount, land on the first step where he jumps to and click on him from there. He won't despawn again (or he shouldn't at any rate) and you can not only follow him everywhere but clear a lot of aggro by flying off the ground for a few seconds.

Commentaire de Zaranae

I just pulled this off with a flying mount and I can barely grasp the annoyance people must have had with this quest before Legion flying was available. On top of all the annoying "features" of this quest, it's also quite buggy. My leash broke 3 times when i clearly was in range of the elderhorn.

Anyway, my point is: The quest is way easier with a flying mount. If you don't have Legion flying yet, I recommend postponing this quest until you do. It saves you some nerves.

Commentaire de Snoweagle

I did this quest with flying, yes it made it a lot easier. But I did break the leash a few times when he jumped down, I did not fly down quick enough to stay with him, and thought I lost him quite a few times when the leash disappeared but I still had him, if it happens to you (the leash dissappearing) remember you are still going DON'T STOP, unless it says the leash breaks and he dissappears.

Commentaire de zetoons

For those of us who procrastinated, this quest is ridiculously easy now with a flying mount and Leather Barding.

Commentaire de BadNoir

Just use a flying mount that won't dismount in water, like the Soaring Skyterror. Barding helps a lot too.

Commentaire de gonville

Once you have flying, you can easily do this quest on a flying mount (note; Druid flight form won't work). There's one point towards the end, going downhill, where you'll need to be slightly ahead of the moose before it jumps - or else the line will snap as it jump faster than your flight - you'll work it out once you've seen it happen.
For some reason, the moose despawned (as opposed to the rope snapping) twice for me while jumping down the waterfall but it worked out the third time.

Commentaire de Datasnuten

This quest is now really trivial thanks to flying -- don't let all the comments scare you.

Commentaire de ishirra

I noticed this: used my manasaber mount (which worked great), he phased every time I reached the waterfall. Then switched to waterstrider up to the waterfall, so I could run on the water in stead of swimming. I failed after the waterfall and then I used my manasaber mount and just made sure the lasso didn't break. I managed to finish the quest on the flying mount, used it mostly to run and only used it to fly with the jumps or to break combat really quick.

Commentaire de Zaratje

On top of the other issues with this quest, the moose randomly despawns regularly even when you stay close to it. Happened three times to it and I'm only at the third checkpoint.

Commentaire de Aletheua

As of today, September 26th, 2017, flying really does trivialize the quest. There were a few points where I simply lost the moose, even though I was either on top or directly behind it, but there ARE check points. If you have about 10 minutes of time, and a wee bit of patience because you might lose that slimy lil brat, it's easy as pie and gives you a somewhat headache inducing tour of Stormheim that you maybe have never had. Oh who's kidding, you've seen it. Just be on a flying mount and get ready for a couple of hiccups. Happy hunting!

Commentaire de Dreadalous

This quest is bugged to hell. Just did it three times and every time when I get to the Bridge he phases out. I don't know why cause I have done all the quests in Stormheim. damned annoying even with flying. No incentive

Commentaire de Spedwards

Oh my god. This quest.. Right at the end, I thought I lost him again but to my relief, I finished it. This was the most stressful thing in my entire WoW experience.

Commentaire de Sunreaver

I've been playing WoW since 2006, and I don't think I've ever said "F$%* this!" so many times on a quest... and yet I keep coming back to try it. Weird.

Also, I love the point where, after the waterfall, he pauses at the top of a tall cliff. He pauses there just long enough to make you think "Don't you do it, you bastard!"... then he turns back the other way.

Commentaire de SandyLynn

Why, why, why would Blizzard EVER think it's a good idea to stage this quest in a free-for-all PVP area? I am not a PVP'er. I've attempted this quest 100x. I can't even make it to the first checkpoint because mobs of PVP'ers attack me as soon as I begin the quest. They are camping near The Elderhorn, waiting for some poor sap to attempt the quest. Then they camp at the graveyard & wait for you to rez. LAME. I really hate that Blizzard is trying so hard to push the PVP thing... it's bad enough being sent down into Dalaran Underbelly every chance they get, for EVERY profession quest chain, but now this? I HATE PVP. And this quest just plain SUCKS.

Commentaire de JakerK17

This is the single most frustrating and annoying quests I've ever done in a game. I gave up at the waterfall and didn't try it again for months. Just completed it.

Commentaire de Emalethx2

For those of you like me, who have lw friends, you know the ones... 'It wasn't that hard', we left the moose at the top of the waterfall and hoped it would drown. Everyone pointed out the obvious, once you have flying, it's a no-brainer. Well, I'm not Einstein by any stretch, and I'm definitely not stupid - but Holy Poo Batman this quest!

Well I tried all the extras, barding, chow... the lot. Nothing worked. His royal highness remained on the top of the waterfall. And then I tried the flying, three more fails, and another, 'let him drown' dummy spit. Then, when I really wanted a new mount, and this was next to where I was, I got him moving! Yes, flying helps, no, not any flying mount will do. Something small, that runs well. The good old wind rider is working for me at the moment. Not finished yet, however I finally see a light at the end of that tunnel!

I must say, even with flying, even with all the posts, f*** Blizzard, the designer, team, testers, and everyone else involved in making this quest.

Commentaire de ulvhund

Well, it went pretty fine. It's not nearly as hard as I imagined as commented, just boring having to run/fly around.

Notice:

1. My ilvl is 935 and having flying might be the reason
2. There are check-points, so you don't have to start from scratch

Anyways, Barde en cuir de peau-roche is a must, because it was impossible without, since I got dismounted all the time and it's stuffed with mobs.

Small mount is recommended.

If I can make it, then I'll assure you anyone can. Good luck!

Commentaire de Khisv

For the third part of this, while weaving in and around the trees in the Runewood, I found it much easier to watch the LEASH rather than try to keep an eye on the Eiderhorn. Since the leash is always pointing to the Eiderhorn, just keep moving/turning where it's pointing to stay in range of it.

The biggest tip overall I can suggest is be a subtlety rogue, with immunity to falling damage. My sympathies and condolences to anyone trying to do this with a different class.

Commentaire de Dakahree

To those of you who did this quest before flying? HATS OFF and VERY DEEP BOW.

It was, by far, one of the hardest quests I've ever done. I think the path that the moose takes is too long, way too long, in comparison with the other similar quests. And whoever designed this quest didn't take into consideration that any animal couldn't survive some of those jumps. LOL.

Commentaire de Miriadis

This quest made me wish moose went extinct IRL.

Commentaire de wtfear

Well thankgod I got it done, thanks to the advice here to get Fighter chow for health gen and the Stone barding for daze protection while mounted. And thankgod the quest saves along the way. Think of it not like a quest, but learning a new mount recipe. Though it would have been nice if it was sellable on the AH and they could have made the recipe cost more in mats which would have been fine. Yes it was pretty frustrating. It shouldn't have been designing like that.

Commentaire de Hexoffender

I used my Arcanists Manasaber mount and managed the quest with the odd lassoo breaks at each saved respawn point. Without the running/flying mount it was a nightmare.

Commentaire de leaharris

I did it first try just my riding my flying mount and flying along with it.

Commentaire de Andachonda

After over 20 attempts I made it over the Waterfall.
However about 10 seconds later, the Moose took more twists & turns & my Lasso broke.
Guess where I had to start again... you guessed it.. at the start of the waterfall.. "Oh the Frustration"
I found doing Random Battlegrounds between attempts helped with my stress.

Commentaire de grahamiam

With flying, the hardest part of this quest is not getting bored to death. Leash broke for no reason twice, but not a big deal, no real challenge anymore.

Commentaire de sadalsuud

Thank you for these tips in this hellish quest. As a rogue, I have the Catlike Reflexes attribute on my weapon, so I take no fall damage, thank god.

Tip I: This may have been already mentioned, but don't use the NPC animals, bear, goat, wolf, etc. as mounts, they're slower than the Elderhorn. I used a regular mount and that makes you actually faster than him which helped me tremendously. Good luck, go get 'em!

Tip II: The lasso sometimes disappears, so if you use it as a gauge when it turns red he's starting to stray, you may lose him. First time it happened I thought I'd lost him, but he still had the lasso buff on, so I stuck with him and it reappeared.

Edit: Finished the quest 40 minutes after this post. Amen. Now I can't use it until my skill level is maxed, haha.

Commentaire de Ralowae

Finish the pathfinder achievement, mount up on your favorite flying mount, and this quest will be WAY easier. I had given up on doing this, but then one day wondered if flying would break the quest. It does not, and you can cruise along right above the ground and fly along with all his wild jumps. I cleared it first try this way.

Commentaire de Aiani

After trying several times on flying mount the moose kept disappearing right before the waterfalls, so right before the next check point. Going back using a ground mount with barding solved that problem. For some reason after it jumped down the water falls if I was on a flying mount it spawned away, if I tried with ground mount I kept dying from fall damage in spite the out of combat regeneration buff. Reading some comments I decided to try to ironbound drake mount, that worked like a charm. I just stuck to the moose like a tick from then on and managed to finished it. So 1. flying mount, then ground mount and 3. ironbound drake.
Extra thanks to the developers of this quest as while aggroing every single mob along the way I was reminiscing of the countless times I was running around like a headless chicken and aggroing everything possible within a 5 mile radius while questing over the years

Commentaire de Ikarugamesh

Don't give up hope if the rope suddenly vanishes. As long as the channeling bar is there, you're good to go. I managed to tame the beast but it would had been nicer if the moose didn't randomly despawn.

...On a side note, screw this accursed quest. Seriously, Blizzard should stop making these buggy, gimmicky quests which the game can't properly handle because it wasn't made for them in the first place.

Commentaire de Ellistrae

My buddy was leveling his lw and asked me to heal it for him so he wouldnt die i was like this doesnt seem that bad even with all the deaths he says its due to him not having flying. I level my hunter get her lw started get the quest im like this shouldnt be hard i got flyinn. Even tho i didnt die 1 time from it i failed this thing like 10 times. Heres a hint you can use flying on all the checkpoints minus the one before the waterfall. Id suggest doing it with a ground mount on that part and if u getto the waterfall checkpoint fail on purpose mount up on your flyer and do this. Ive never wanted to drink as much as i do now thanks to this quest

Even with a flying mount this still did not feel like it was worth a mount that is BoP and only usable by Leatherworkers. I can't even imagine how much of a pain this was with only a ground mount.

Commentaire de Palemoon

This quest NPC is so intent on aggravating players that even when using a flying mount and avoiding pretty much all obstacles, it will sometimes randomly despawn just for the heck of it.

Commentaire de Angelhearth

This might actually be the stupidest quest Blizzard has made, and that says a lot. What is this supposed to be? Some sort of cowboy in the mountains, riding around with a moose? If you want me to tame him, put me on the damned back and let me ride him, that's the way it's done. Lost him a couple of times, that's no biggy, but the time it takes!

Commentaire de zosimus

Ok, this is really ridiculous... The Elderhorn "disappears" as soon as I enter the water at 29.4 / 45.1 right before the waterfall. Six times and I'm next to him every time. Anyone heard of this or knows how to "workaround" it?

Ok figured out that using a ground mount up until the waterfall checkpoint works! After the waterfall, you can use a flying mount, just watch out for the Helarjar Mistcallers who will slow you down. You can go around the mist close to the Elderhorn and have no problems.

Commentaire de kradoow

Not sure why but I would lose him in the water even with keeping right beside him he would just vanish....such an annoying quest

Commentaire de JimiDragon

No matter how fast I am swimming, no matter where I am (inside, in front of, behind, next to), the elderhorn vanishes in the water while swimming. Seven attempts. Seven resets. The elderhorn vanishes in the water, even with no leash showing whatsoever.

Commentaire de nabbs1

its the absolute worst quest I have ever had to do ..

Commentaire de kendallzemp

For some reason, the page isn't showing the newest post first, even though I select that. I'm going to "retweet" the brilliant advice of someone whose comment I can't even find now! (3 or more pages of comments at this point). Anyway, she discovered THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM OF DISAPPEARING ELDERHORN = USE A GROUND MOUNT FOR THE SEGMENT LEADING UP TO THE WATERFALL. You can use a flying mount after that, and yes it's easy peasy after that. The videos are helpful. Stonehide Leather Barding is mandatory. Don't need any food to do it now (assuming you've got flying). Sorry I can't give the credit to the person who discovered this, but her solution worked beautifully!

Edit: Zosimus who posted on 3/21/18 was the one who gave the solution. Kudos!

Commentaire de Lavandar

After spending 2 hours doing this quest (as I came here to get suggestions), I just found out that we can buy the Recipe: Elderhorn Riding Harness, which is the reward for this quest, in Dalaran from Ranid Glowergol in the LW'ing shop for a whopping 7g20s. /facepalm Really Blizz? Really?

Commentaire de cerradwyn

This is the worst damn quest ever! That freaking moose purposely runs you into mobs and tries to tie you up in the trees. At this point I would rather go kill 100 of something or collect 500 berries...this is ridiculous.

Commentaire de Azqa

WORST. QUEST. EVER.

Commentaire de comi

For people who struggle with falling damage, the best thing you can use is Élixir d'avalanche.

You won't take any damage when you fall, but that only counts for the first fall after you take it.
The best thing is it has no cooldown, so you can use it whenever you need it.

Edit: Forgot to mention that you can use it while mounted.

Commentaire de Warrok

I only did this quest with flying so it felt like a huge cheat compared to just using a ground mount. However, the quest is still very annoying to do. A flying mount lets you avoid some of the evil RNG like fall damage and adding mobs (as most drop aggro quite quickly when you rise into the air). The faster flying speed also allows you to correct for some mistakes but not all of them. Apart from reducing some failure causes (like dismounting) it is still highly annoying and will still challenge you enough. I don't even want to think about doing this quest on a ground mount like most of the commenters here had to do. It is ridden with some bugs (sometimes the mount simply despawns despite you doing nothing wrong, i.e. being close and all), is full of bloody RNG (when do aggroed mobs dismount you) and the terrain collision issues on top make it really really bad.

The only thing more cruel than this quest would have been a repeatable world quest that gives you some container that randomly at a very low chance would drop some mount and some mocking item otherwise.

Commentaire de Mork623

All you need now is just the saddle and your flying mount lol. There are check points for this quest seems when the Great Northern Elderhorn makes a pause, that is where your check point will be if the lasso breaks.Much easier to do now, just hope that when you start this quest the Bareback Brawl pvp wq is not active otherwise players will try to kill you.

Commentaire de Djongov

This quest is extremely nerve racking even with flying. He would despawn on number of times for no obvious reason, the lasso will become invivisble.... too buggy

Commentaire de MsWeatherwax

Even with flying taming this spawn of Satan is annoying, so breathe and get ready to have to grab it as the lasso bugs over, and over, and over. The devil moose will drag you through the entire expanse of Stormheim, so it takes like half an hour to finally tame it.

Commentaire de Faedeyssara

I have no patience. I'll start with that.

I thought "I have flying, this will be easier now!"
DO NOT BE NAIVE! There is nothing easy about this quest, with or without flying. It is long and tedious and you will possibly die. Lots.

I may have just gotten annoyed at it far too many times and went back to farming the Field Medic achiev as that was easier progress (or at least felt like it at the time)

After calming down, I attempted this again. Was still like dealing with a bag of steaming moose dung, but I got through it.

If you frustrate easy like myself, I wish you luck and all the patience in the world.

Commentaire de Crystalgazer

A right PITA this is. I did it using a flying mount and a sightless eye and it still was a bit rough.

My recommendations: don't use a big mount, like a drake, because it may block your view of the moose. I used a touring rocket, but anything smallish will do. Also, don't zoom your camera out TOO far, because he will try to lose you in the trees ... just zoom back far enough to be able to see the terrain around you, including cliffs he may jump down and mobs as you approach them.

If you do have a sightless eye (highly recommended, if you can get one), stay very close to the ground unless there are mobs in the vicinity ... then you'll want to fly up a bit to avoid coming into contact with them or it will cancel the effect.

At some point after you've been at it a bit, it may appear that the rope has disappeared, but pay no attention to that unless the quest actually tells you the rope broke and the moose got away. Just carry on.

Finally, this quest does save your progress, so if the rope does break (and it probably will), just go back to where you were and pick it up where you left off.

Patience (and a mild case of carpal tunnel) will get you there. Good luck!

Commentaire de Cowoth

Two words: "Flying mount"!

I just completed the quest and kudos to all who did it without Legion flying! A flying mount is really essential to keep your sanity while doing the quest and even with that it ain't easy due to the numerous bugs that Blizz never bothered to fix.

Getting tons of aggro is normal. Unless you're doing this in the next expansion or higher, you will also definitely need Patron : barde en cuir de peau-roche because it will let you remain on your mount even if you get hit by all the aggro mobs. Just that and a flying mount should get you through this.

Numerous bugs still remain unfixed. While following the Elderhorn, the rope or leash disappears quite often. Don't panic, as long as you can still see the Elderhorn the quest can continue. You only fail if the Elderhorn disappears and you get a system message to that effect.

For the first part of the quest until the Waterfall save point at Stormheim 31.6, 46.5, a non flying ground mount is recommended. I did it with a flying mount the first few times and the Elderhorn kept disappearing once it was in the water causing the quest to fail. So for those with the same problem, ground mount until you reach the end of the waterfall and the Elderhorn jumps down, then you can just fail the quest and restart with a flying mount the rest of the way.

Good luck to all attempting this!

Commentaire de johanfrost

Literally the WORST quest in the ways of having fun or somewhat of a challenge..

Commentaire de sentz

The moose just will not move after we get to the bottom of the waterfall, he stands there for about 15 seconds and then despawns.

Commentaire de AthenaP

Just keep submitting bug reports guys and gals. My first ticket response was basically them telling me I'm just terrible at following the moose. The second response was "maybe there's something wrong we're getting lots of tickets". So basically, everyone put in a bug report. I want my mount recipe, lol.

Commentaire de Felyshkaw

Save yourself a headache-don't do this till you get Legion flying. Even so, expect the elderhorn to just randomly despawn, forcing you to return to a previous checkpoint. Great job not fixing that issue, Blizz....

Commentaire de Shoddey

FYI after the prepatch you need 100 Legion Leatherworking for the quest to appear :)

Commentaire de rasahjade

Just adding my experience - I had this patterned learned prior to 8.0.1, but I wasn't at a level that I could use it yet. My LW wasn't all the way to 800, so I just sort of forgot about it. When I was looking in my unlearned patterns today, the pattern was there, sitting in unlearned. I double checked, and I have definitely completed the quest already on the character (and it was so frustrating, I'm not likely to forget the experience soon!) I've logged a ticket to get it fixed (ain't no way I am doing this PITA quest again) but if you are like me and didn't have your LW all the way completed prior to this patch, check your patterns. :(

Commentaire de MidnightReaper

I don't know if this was a stealth change or just something I missed before, but with the coming of the BfA pre-patch (8.0.1), you now need 100 Legion Leatherworking. This is straight from Blizzard:

"Hello there {WoW Player}
This is Game Master Huerihe. Thank you so much for your patience while we got to your ticket. From looking through the ticket, I can see that a quest wasn't available for you. I can understand the frustrations that come with this as I've also had problems with quests in the past, As a Game Master I can't give out any quest specifics, but I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. (/^▽^)/

It does look like with the latest patch, to be eligible for this quest you would need 100 Legion Leatherworking to get the quest to appear.{snip}"

So, now you need 100 Legion Leatherworking to get the quest to do this. Now you know.

Commentaire de Aerozia

This is the worst Quest ever. When you first click on the Moose you'll see he has a debuff for 30 minutes LOL yeah 30 minutes I mean it's just a quest right? No you'll be here for more than 30 minutes trying to do this damn Quest.

Commentaire de Alinnea64

Unfortunately I agree with the player complaints....and it's very unfortunate.

I have no clue, and never will, what brainchild started making decisions like this. It is so beyond me and is so very frustrating I can't find the appropriate words...not that it appears to matter because no one seems to be listening. Not to bug reports, not to player concerns or issues, not to sound, positive suggestions that could really benefit this game.

Every day, everywhere people deal with work, home and life issues....they face problems, troubles and unhappiness. Personally I know of no one and cant imagine anyone wanting to spend what free time they do have playing a game that is just as irritating or stressful. I certainly don't.....and this isn't the first quest that was un-thought-out, frustrating, badly executed and actually just a friggin thorn in your foot to have to get through.

I have no clue if there's been a change in management or developers or what...but its obvious there HAS been a change somewhere. I've loved this game since the start...and I stayed put while friends have gone to other games. Some returned to WOW ….some didn't. I'd love to play this game as long as it exists but I probably wont if things continue as they are.

I'm not sure why things have spiraled downward to this point but I really wish Blizz would take notice. It would be really nice to have quests that explain themselves, npc's that were where their supposed to be, and I wasn't FORCED to google 40-50% of every quest simply because there were missing details, missing turn-in npc's or simply enough missing whatever that 100s (or more) of other players need to google things as well JUST TO GET THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO FINISIH A QUEST?

We aren't all Secret Finding Discord Community members and realistiically dont have the critical thinking skills (or can't invest the amount of time needed) to solve and find the things they do...but I'm awfully glad they do....because some things are so insanely theorized that in the reality of the actual game the vast majority of players wouldnt have a clue....me included. I'm not a quantum theorist but I am a relatively intelligent, college educated & life learned person.

I suppose I am just a little bit tired of being this frustrated over issues that shouldn't BE issues.

Happy gaming guys.

I dunno....Ive tried not to bash but I felt like speaking out on this. I know, probably wasted more game time doing this but it is what it is. I could waste it hear where no one will take anything from it or care.....or waste time swearing at my monitor and giving an ultimatum to myself that I'm tired of this bull$%^&. lol Sometime I gotta laugh.

Commentaire de popje

Looking at the comments I was worried but this is incredibly easy with flying, just did it on my lvl 111 alt.

Commentaire de knoppos

For the waterfall at 120, get naked to reduce your hp to make Rata des combattants very effective. fall damage is on a percentage basis.

And in case you die on the first try, get Mal de la résurrection by reviving at the spirit healer to reduce it even more.
I got down to 5000hp and Rata des combattants restores 1800 every 5s. (36%)

Be quick with the first big jump (land on the nearest rocks!) and wait a moment before the second to get a Rata des combattants proc for sure.

Edit: Disable war mode ;)

Commentaire de chopinsky84

Just finished this quest today in 8.1, a few notes: 1. now you need to reach Legion Leatherworking 100 to be able to get this quest; 2. I completed the quest with flying mount, but Elderhorn disappeared on me a couple of times -- I found that if you turn off all your UI addons, and keep the fly mounts above the ground/water all the time would help with this situation.

Commentaire de SFF27

"Made EASY".

I think I've found it. I've found the biggest lie in this entire game.

Commentaire de Bloodleh

The quest seems fine now. Had to reset 2 times at waterfall part because the elderhorn despawned but otherwise I got it done easily with 310% flying mount and staying on the ground as much as possible.

Commentaire de jfoobar

Quest is still buggy as hell. While it is definitely easier now that you can use a flying mount, expect many stops and starts to still occur. Basically, the moose still despawns periodically, most annoying right before you get to a progress point in the path. The only time I had repeated despawning issues is when you enter the water for the first time (at about 29.5, 46) before the infamous waterfall jumps. He despawned there on my three times in a row, all shortly after entering the water. I tried staying in the water with him and a combination of being in the water and above the water. On the fourth attempt, I just stayed in the air above him and at least made it past that point (progress marker at the top of the waterfall). I suspect that this is the same place that Bloodleh was referring to in his/her post from about 11 days prior to mine.

I had at least two more despawns, one right about the time the moose jumps onto a bridge at about 42,59, another one after that. Basically, you may see the tether between you and the moose disappear and when that happens, a despawn is likely to come about a minute later and you'll have to go back to the last progress marker. I also had the tether disappear on me within Helmouth Shallows but fortunately this was so close to the end that I sill got credit.

To sum up: still buggy and annoying but doable as of 8.2.

Commentaire de Nadiv

With level ~~120 and legion flying (Guide des îles Brisées)~~ 50 and flying (pathfinder is no longer required) this quest is so easy. Just mount up, Click the elderhorn and keep close to him.
There are only a few problems:

It takes a lot of time. The elderhorn is so slow and the path is really long.
This elderhorn needs to learn physics. Don't try to predict path of his jumps.
The leash can get invisible. It isn't a problem and if you get too far, you can see a red line between you and the npc.
Once he dissapeared without any reason. I was almost touching its model.

If you fail, you can pick him up from the last "check point" and continue walking your new pet. Of course you're loosing some time and you can hear that voice in your head saying "All we had to do, was follow the damn moose, CJ"...

Commentaire de Danyi

Worst quest in the game, but the comment section will entertain you for days as compensation.

Commentaire de Cindybrandolff

I tried doing this torture of a quest when it was current content and I couldn't, it was simply too glitchy and unpredictable, with the guaranteed fall damage and the moose simply despawning for no apparent reason, it was impossible and frustrating and I thought that with flying and in a later patch it would be a little easier. I couldn't be more wrong. Today I finally tried it again and it is worse than before, the mob despawns at random, the channeling bar glitched once and it didn't move, the rope disappears after 1 minute, if you swim the elderhorn despawns, if you hit a checkpoint the elderhorn despawns, if you are doing it perfectly it *!@#ing despawns and it happens more often than before. I am shocked that it still happens after a whole expansion. Is it because of lag? is this happening to someone else?

Commentaire de CognateClockwork

For those completing this at max level in BFA or later:

Having a flying mount and being max level trivialises this quest. You will duck and weave through most mobs without drawing aggro, and those who do attack won't be able to hit you. Flying means you don't have to worry about taking fall damage. All you need is patience because this is still long and annoying.

Commentaire de zotox

So this actually wasn't *as* bugged as other people are stating.
I only had 3 resets, 2 of them getting to the waterfall checkpoint.
I found that running to the waterfall on a ground mount and swimming in the water in front of the elderhorn did it for me, after that i broke the leash and restarted at the waterfall on a flying mount.
Throughout you might see the rope disappear too, this doesn't have an impact though, as long as you're channeling you are still following him.

Gl!

Commentaire de Musicxmp3

Even after reading the comments here I couldn't imagine how long and boring this single Quest is.
Doing all the other requirements (Leatherworking quests + Masquerade + levelling Legion Leatherworking to 100, including farming the Rank 3 recipe at the Aszuna / Valshara border) was more fun.

It's a nice idea but the quest is way too long. Plus it sometimes bugs out (2x at the water fall and 1x a bit later for me).

Three tips from my attempts:
- if the leash disappears, it's not a problem unless it says that it broke explicitly
- if it resets at the water section, try running the whole checkpoint with a ground mount
- make sure you have time, even without resets you will follow this thing for a good 15-20 minutes probably

Commentaire de Marchenoir

Wow. Just wow. I leveled my legion leatherworking to 100 today and naively started this quest, thinking it would take about 5 mn and that's it.

...

I wasn't ready. Doing this during Legion must have been absolute torture.

Commentaire de FrivolousFriv

This is by far one of the worst quests in the game, in one of the worst quest-chains ever. I have not cussed so much at pixels since Mage tower challenge. I can only imagine how absolutely detestable this was back when Legion was current.

Commentaire de Pandorai

Whoever designed this quest is a sadist. If it wasn't for the fact that I could use my flying mount there is literally no way I see myself completing this.

Commentaire de samantha596

Extremely buggy quest. You cant touch the water as he will despawn, you will have to fly above water. Once he jumps down the waterfall you will get invisible leach and once you reach the bridge he will once again despawn if you dont stand on his left side. He magically despawned like 3 times after this without any logical reason.

Commentaire de Moritussum

I have a dopey question - since this is still one of the pre requisites for flying in Legion, how did all those posts below do it on a flying mount? - that's right ! they cheated, and came back with a bfa flying mount.
So if you are still playing the content in the correct order like me, here are few things you might want to know.
Firstly a bunch of this quest posts from late 2020 have been deleted (including mine), so if you are trying to find those instructions you half remember, they probably got wiped because of "denigrating" or "demeaning" the quest, the quest creator, Blizz, or all 3. That's rampant censorship for you.
Secondly, The game physics have been tweaked in this quest.
I just took another 11 goes at the waterfall (only got to 14 last post, died every time). When the elk jumps up, it rises faster than toons fall under gravity. It stays at the top of the jump curve longer than gravity would allow. When the elk falls, it falls faster than a player toon, so you have to run off cliff edges before the elk drops below cliff level. If you jump you will go approximately 20% greater distance than ever before, making it impossible to land where intended.
The elk has random delay lengths before commencing its next action, so the timing is very rarely the same twice.
The distance at which the lasso breaks changes, depending on where you are up to.
The paths it takes often get you jammed between trees where you can not see your toon in difficulty, or jammed between rocks, or at slopes that can not be run up (mostly rock junctions) but look like you usually could run up.
At the bridge I ran into face touching the bridge side, and a supa glue function held me stuck to the bridge until the elk ran away. Then I was able to back away from the bridge.
Most of the quest is just keeping in a certain distance of the elk, not too hard.
At the waterfall top, eat fighter chow, use leather barding, use stamina scroll. If you dont have chow and barding, give up now, and go get them. This path is complex, going from far left looking away from elk, across to far right, then to bottom. Jump down to the first left grassy mound, back up until facing directly at the cliff face above the second grass mound, play with mouse view until you can trigger the elk. Run into cliff face, and mouse steer back towards first mound wall so you land safe on second mound. Repeat for third left mound. Jump down to water pool, aim at the grey pillar rock to limit distance. Run to far right side, wait while elk jumps up level with first waterfall then falls faster than you do, time very carefully run off and land on grey rock ledge half way down. Run off to land in bottom rock pool, middle. If you miss any mound or rock you are very probably going to die. I would suggest practice runs, but all the fall rates and timings change the minute the lasso is on, so there is no point. I died 24 times at this waterfall stage - beat that. I am on keyboard #3, but my beloved Dell screen is intact.
From here on the elk tries to run you into every bot that has a slow spell, to break the lasso. At the cliff rocks the elk seems to have a couple of different paths to choose. So Use mouse 2 button steering, fast reactions, and stay as close as you can. Good news is you passed the waterfall section. At the first rock pile, the small front rock can bounce you sideways over the cliff edge. Stay level with the elk, and go around the tree stump on far left side, or slide off the cliff on the right side (and die)(again). In the trees you can’t see getting jammed so stay close and follow. At the second large rocks pile ignore the elk and also go close to left hand side on ground. At cliff jumping, first jump early and land on big grey rock, then immediately run right, careful timing , run making all 3 levels of grass mounds, to the far right side roof area. Stay in water - Do not disturb the dragon – it does slow spell. Going back up the ramp, ignore the elk and follow 2 (3?) log ramp sections. At the second torch pass it and turn hard right to go up the grass notch, turn left and go up second grass notch- the log path snaps the lasso. At the big rock pile ignore the elk and go very close round left side.
At the bridge, ignore the elk running to right hand side, on approach go straight on to the bridge, and wait before the roof section starts- the elk jumps on to bridge. Avoid all the wildlife bots.
At Vrykul area, avoid the floating men as they hit a slow spell. Just avoid everything. When elk jumps to the top of the rock spike, go around very close on the left, and stop before the boat wreck. Wait, not fight. Should ding quest complete.
Good luck. Your going to need it. This was the worst quest I have ever done in this game. M.

Commentaire de wowgamer59

This is still a stupid thing that has never been fixed in SL yet either. Flying doesn't do it either. Every time the moose touches the water it despawns no matter how close I am.

A bit hard to finish the quest when the moose automatically despawns.

This isn't the only stupid jumping quest in the game. One of the devs must love arcade jumping games and doesn't realize how much that isn't good for a PC game.

Commentaire de Lazare69

For those who use the addon Paste to input a list of TomTom waypoints like I do, you CAN'T just copy the above set and paste them into Paste and expect things to work fine. The reason is once you click the "paste and Close" button, all of the waypoints are pasted into the game, but in the WRONG order. The last one actually shows up first. So belong is the CORRECT version to paste into the game.

Commentaire de Sabrawing

I completed this in Shadowlands, 9.0.5.

Took a few tries, and learned a few things so I will share:

-Be on a flying-capable mount.
-When he hops into the stream at the stop of the mountain, DO NOT GO INTO THE WATER. Hover over the water as he paddles to the waterfall. His next few jumps down are a doozy, but manageable.
-At some point, my rope disappeared but you can kinda guesstimate the distance well enough so you don't snap your rope.
-When he gets to the bridge, linger a bit back. I was at his shoulder a few times and he'd simply despawn. The next try I stayed back a little and he jumped onto the bridge.
-Stay out of the mists when you get down there, you can fly and hover just fine and nothing there will be able to shoot you down.

Best of luck out there!

Commentaire de akaRaven

28/11/2021 and it's still bugged. Leash keeps disappearing, fine just stay close. But nooooooo, the thing randomly just disappears from in front of you. If not for the checkpoints I would have given up long ago. It's almost 4AM now and I have been at this for over an hour.

EDIT: Finally done, at first I thought mount up meant you mount the thing, but how wrong was I. Than I looked at the timer and wondered why they would give you half an hour, yeh, thanks Blizzard.

Commentaire de nyysjs

Having a flying mount (310% ideally) makes this only ANNOYINGLY LONG and not too hard, just because you can fly away from encounters and move easily with the moose around the waterfalls and up cliffs.

Also, I think I read somewhere you needed 100/100 Legion Leatherworking for this. You can get the QUEST earlier, but you need 100/100 LW to learn the recipe.

Commentaire de SargerasWasRight

If I had to do this bug riddled quest back during Legion without flying I think I'd rather have killed myself. Absolutely terrible.

Commentaire de Varolokur

I am level 100 of 100 for Legion leatherworking as of patch 9.2.5

I am confident I completed every leatherworking quest. I used the command script code for every quest listed in the leatherowrking quest chain, and every quest says "true"

Mounting Made Easy quest will not show up. I logged out, I reloaded, I left Dalaran and came back, but quest still will not show.

Any tips on what I could be missing? Thanks.

Commentaire de Samaramon1

All these comments and, unless it's a new thing, NONE of them mention that there's MULTIPLE checkpoints? He bugged for me during the waterfall, and I was able to reclick him and channel again cuz he was waiting for me at the top of the waterfall. Didn't have to go back at the start at all. Happened again later on before the bridge, he was waiting. This, with flying, made this quest so much easier than the newer comments here claim it to be.

Not too hard as of 9.2.7 but it will take awhile.

He runs all over the zone, ending near Maw of Souls. If you mess up, there are some "checkpoints" so you dont need to start at the very beginning.

Also might be worth having water walking or one of the SL Auralid mounts so you can swim and fly

Commentaire de Ashirin

10.0 flying mount problems.
So you can do most of this on a flying mount making it a lot easier now. A couple times the leash would not display any more but it still was sort of working / channeling often helping me to get to the next checkpoint.
I had problems on the water section. After failing it a few times short of the waterfall I decided to use a non flying mount for that part. While the moose is underwater a flying mount will just make a reset very likely. There is a checkpoint right at the edge of the waterfall. So if the moose went through the water and umps down, just don't jump down on a ground mount. the fall damage will kill you. let the moose jump down, reset to the checkpoint, get on your flying mount and carry on.

Must be 100 Legion LW before she gives the quest.

As of today if you are doing it during Assault on Stormheim he will get stuck in after a jump over a tree branch at the very beginning. If you spam click it he will phase out of it, but you have to move fast close to the fallen tree trunk or the channeling will stop.
Also he despawn in the water at the top of the water falls if you use a flying mount (tried it swimming and flying, both time he despawned with flying mount) so I tried it with a ground mount and it worked. From the top of the water fall I could continue with a flying mount. He despawned one more time right after we entered the forest where he tries to trick you with the trees, but luckily the second time we just run to the end no issue :) Good luck everyone

Pretty easy now with flying. Now I remember why I never did this at level LOL!

Been trying to complete this recently on my hunter LW, and as soon as I get to the part where he jumps in water at or around 29, 45 - he disappears - even though I'm literally right behind him. Not sure if it's bc I was on my hunter class mount, which can fly, or what is going on.

One other note: the starting point in the most recent post/comment - is not where I've found the NPC to start following him. Instead, I find the Great Northern Elderhorn at 45, 36.

UPDATE: so it appears the spot i found was a checkpoint. I finally figured out when I hit the water, i had to hover right over him on my flying mount. The next spot that it failed for me was the bridge, at 42 59. I was literally right next to him, and he just disappeared. :(

For anyone who realized they never finished this and got this mount back in the day, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see it/find it when I'd completed every other quest prior. Stumbled upon a support article that said:

After patch 8.0.1 and the changes to professions for Battle for Azeroth, your character must have 100 skill in Legion Leatherworking and completed the rest of the Legion leatherworking quest chain in order to get Mounting Made Easy.

So even if you've done all the quests, your LW has to be maxed at 100 to be able to pick it up.

Takes about 15 minutes to do

3 stints, roughly 5 minutes each

A lot of the info in here is out of date. For those doing this in DF, you need to level Legion LW to 100 and complete all LW quests in Dalaran.

Unfortunately it takes 30+ minutes because it is bugged. The lasso randomly disappears and about a minute later the elderhorn despawns. Keep going once the lasso disappears, because you keep making progress and may reach the next save point. I had him despawn 5 times.

That said, the quest is trivially easy because you can fly and you are way above mob level, so you don't need the barding or fighter chow (from pinned comment), and none of the vertical terrain is a challenge.
