Episode #7 Guarding the Sky!

Monstrous Kaliri!!!! Ahh!!!

Click here to listen to this week's audio short!

Intro

Well, I have returned home, and as promised I will be going over a rewarding faction this week. We are heading through the dark portal once again to explore the Sha'tari Skyguard! This branch of the Sha'tar has two posts of duty in outland. One in Terokkar Forest and the other in Blade's Edge Mountains. As you fight along side this group you will be helping to defend Shattrath from its enemies.

Skettis

Getting Started

If you haven't started any of the quests with this faction the first interaction with them is by being recruited by Yuula near the flight master in Shattrath. This will start a quest chain that will eventually lead you to Skettis, the Arakkoa capitol. 

Start here...

There are many quests to complete as you follow the story of the skyguard, and you will also be sent to Blade's Edge Mountains to complete tasks there as well. Completing all of the quests still leaves you far short of being exalted though, and that means you have lots of work to do. By doing nothing but daily quests you will be working for around a month, give or take, to reach exalted. (Ahh, the good old days.) Daily quests involve bombing runs, escort quests, and more. There is however a much faster way to boost your reputation to exalted in a matter of hours. 

Get used to these.

Since there are no instances associated with this faction you won't simply be able to repeat a dungeon until exalted, but in the Skettis area you can farm all of the Skettis enemies and gather [Shadow Dust] for the repeatable quest to get [Elixir of Shadows] so that you can use it to see the time-lost mobs. Once you gather ten [Time-Lost Scroll] you can use those to summon one of the four mini bosses in the area. (Gezzarak, Akkarai, Karrog, or Vakkiz) Once you have killed the four of them, you can then turn their drops in to get the Time-Lost Offering. This lets you then summon Terokk and kill him.

Do you dare summon Terokk?

Repeating the steps above nets you a large amount of reputation in a short time because killing enemies to farm items itself also gives you reputation. Reports online have people reaching exalted reputation in less than a day.

What am I working towards?

Reaching exalted with the skyguard will allow you to purchase the companion pet [Nether Ray Fry] as well as five different [Riding Nether Ray] You will also receive the achievement [Flying High Over Skettis] 

Flyin' high!

You will also be doing quests in the Blade's Edge Mountains near the Ogri'la area so you can work on that reputation on the side. 

Conclusion

This reputation is great for mount and / or pet collectors to work on! Go spend a Saturday, or a few days and reach exalted with the skyguard and enjoy showing off you new ride! 

Look out!
