Sometimes, I'd put down the food and the guys would gather around, but they'd bug out before they did their little cheer about the food, and they just stood there and never ate the food and were never poisoned. Wasted Fel Gland.

Other times, I'd put down the food and the workers would ignore me completely!!! Blarg. Wasted Fel Gland.

And yes, with an Epic Flying Mount the trip from Netherwing Ledge to Sanctum of the Stars in Shadowmoon was short, but at times of disgust, I'm an impatient person and would rather pay a few gold than watch myself fly for a few minutes.

Where To Die

Before I had the Netherwing rep line unlocked, there was a quest that required me to go to Netherwing Ledge and kill peons in order to get to the Netherwing Crystals that were a turn-in. I noticed rather early (thanks to the elites wandering around and my lack of initial quickness on Feign Death) that if one died while on the Netherwing Ledge, one arrived at a graveyard right beside Sanctum of the Stars, and one wasn't in ghost form because one couldn't run back to the Ledge to recover one's corpse.

I also noticed that the penalty was the standard 'death with body recovered one' - that is, 10% durability loss on items worn and that was it.

After working on the Netherwing line for a while, and running into that Fel Gland problem, I devised a more fun way of getting myself killed and returned to the Sanctum of the Stars in Shadowmoon Valley - falling into the nether!

A simple way to do this is to fly out off of the Ledge and ensure your pointer on your minimap is over complete blackness (not over a floating island), and then to dismount. You fall and fall and fall, and then are seemingly propelled down and away from your camera view as you fall into the void.

Where Not To Die

In my testing, I also wondered what it would be like to fly up WAY HIGH above one of those floating islands and then to dismount above it and fall to my death that way.

It was terribly disappointing and I strongly suggest against it - it's like dying up in the middle of the air where your corpse doesn't fall down... you have to take the spirit rez and thus you're suffering the 25% damage to inventory and worn items, plus the 10 minute rez sickness!

After the Exalted with Netherwing script completed as above, the big Netherdrake that saves me from certain death gives me a big long ride over the landscape and lands me in Lower City in Shattrath, right by Barthamus who is awaiting my quest turn in so he can offer me my free Netherdrake Mount. Once I turn in my quest with him, it looks like there's all sorts of quests to pick up from the Netherdrakes around, but having read about this first, I know that I should only be accepting the 'quest' from the Netherdrake that I wish to ride, or I'll be spending 200g to buy another version of the Netherdrake.

I had visited before reaching Exalted and had looked at all of the Netherdrakes, and aside from the Black Netherdrake that I thought would be over-popular, there seem to be a lot of purply/blue ones that look remarkably like the fake Netherwing folks ride around on while they're working on gathering reputation in the first place.

So, I finally made my choice - and went with the "veridian drake" - even though I have no idea if Veridian is actually GREEN or not??!
