Be very, very careful when you do this quest. If you're not near the ground, and most likely you won't be, when you finish you have but a few seconds to get close to the ground. You WILL be dismounted at whatever height you're at, and if you're high enough, you WILL fall to your death, unless you're a class that can Glide, Slow Fall, Levitate, or have a Goblin Glider Kit. I imagine once we have flying here druid's Flight Form will come in very handy with this quest.

Andira the birb is at 57,39 if you are stuck at the "where should I put the antlers?", put them to the tray in front of her.

Comment by Mypciscraze

Hi all

First you need to collect 4 Cloudstrider Antler then go to 56.9 39.4 and press on Tray Next to it will show up Fly mount Andira. Now jump on it and fly thru bright circles until 100%, every time you go thru circle your buff for flying will reflesh to 10 sec. Worst part of this is flying this zone is too bright and hard to spot circle xD. If you will not get 100% and you buff will expire don't worry go one more time your % will stay any way :).

See My Video if need it - https://youtu.be/WTfC6ILfujQ

Hope that help You :)

If you can't mount Andira, you might need to abandon any other quest in that area. I suspect it was the quest with Phalynx.

Comment by BurdNGoN

If you are unable to mount her DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT abandon quests like someone suggested. If you complete them instead you get to do it normally.

The quest line is the one where you get another instance of Andira to hunt essences.

Likely named after the original Soarin' over California attraction at Disneyland Resort's Disney California Adventure.

Comment by Basesqt

Big props to the mad lad who decided to make the rings pale blue on pale blue background. Currently with the graphics details at 5, they're very hard to see, i need to mount Andira 3 or 4 times to finish the quest.

Comment by Rossit

Seriously this is just a time suck that Blizz never seems to understand. Don't bother with it, ignore it totally.

Comment by alpanhell

Evidentially, the antlers have a low drop rate. Even though you see them on every single mob you kill...

GJ blizz...

This is like the Flying Rings quest that you likely did if you quested in this area. Except it's not quite as obvious. The first ring appears in front of you and you need to start flying, most of the rings will appear in front of you for the most part so don't need to look all over. I think you need to fly through about 5 rings, so pretty short if you get it right.

Comment by Llyrellenya

There, uhh, aren't enough rings. Fortunately you can remount Andira after getting forcibly dismounted and you don't have your progress wiped, but I have flown around multiple times trying this quest and I don't think it's just the fact that they're blue on blue and very difficult to see. I've had several different attempts where I flew through a fair number of rings in a row, but you need 13 to complete the quest and I don't think I've found more than nine up in one go. Are the rings not phased from other players?

Comment by WoWplayer001

This quest is another example of the exceptional design and quality of Blizzard for this particular expansion. I especially love how the gates many times do not appear after the third one and you get thrown off the larion because you run out of time trying to find gates that never appeared.

Comment by TerribleAtGames

And this WQ just ended up on my ignore-list. 70 anima is not worth the time spent trying and failing to fly through rings that never spawns.

Comment by L4yer

Added to ignore list, the amount of anima is not worth the time trying to complete this ridiculous quest. Rings are buggy and are hard to see. Really not worth the bother!

Comment by Takata

Another badly designed quest by Blizzard! First part the antlers will be hard to get because the mob that drops them doesn't always drop them, plus there will be lots of people killing them! Second part the rings will be hard to fly through because they are badly spaced out! They are either too close or too far apart!

Comment by Jorvalt

Why the !@#$ was the first part of this even necessary?

Comment by KaiBo

Make sure you deposit the Cloudstrider Antler before jumping on Andira, otherwise you can fly around in circles through those gates forever.
(Seriously, why can you even mount Andira before turning them in?)

Comment by globalmenace

I have serious difficulties to spot these cloud rings against the sky. Takes me at least 3 attempts to complete. I don’t know if it’s my eyes, or my screen, or my graphics settings.

Testing for speed, reaction or dexterity is OK. But testing for the players ability to isolate low-contrast objects is … just malicious.

Why not make AoE effects almost invisible in a raid? Or removing casting animations? Sure everybody would have fun with this sort of “challenge”.

Comment by Dilph

Bollocks poor designed %^&* questy

Comment by whsocko

This quest was infuriating for me (I was often unable to find the next ring before being dismounted after about the 4th or 5th ring) until I watched a YouTube video, and realized the rings follow the outline of the quest area on the minimap. Even if you can't see the rings ahead, keep hugging the edge of the minimap outline. You'll have to make a couple of fairly sharp right turns to follow it. Here's the video (not my video), starting at about 2:34 (takeoff time):

Comment by Avighna

Poorly designed quest had to adjust my brightness contrast to see the rings clearly. What are they even thinking if a player has to fiddle with the system or display settings for a quest?

Aside from all the whines from me for quests that are odd, This game is greater

Comment by Nefram

Rather than messing with graphics settings, use Inky Black Potion during this quest and the gates will be easier to see. If that's not an option for you than go with ignoring this quest.

Comment by MaxWilder

PUT THE ANTLERS IN THE BOWL.

This stupid game lets you mount and ride Andira without completing the previous step, but if you skip it thinking that "a click is a click" then THE QUEST WILL NOT ADVANCE.

Comment by Zugetz

One of the suckiest quests in Shadowlands. First, there's no way to know where the gates are. It's not a question of not being able to see them, it's a question of not knowing the direction - up, down, left, right, whatever. Second, I keep losing my mount while I'm still within the area shown on the map which means there's a hidden timer. Last, I keep losing my wings while I'm high up enough that I lose the wings before landing and so plummet to my death. Every time. Terribly designed quest.

Comment by Rusty5p00n

A typical appallingly bad quest, I've personally never had a problem with the rings on the second part of the quest, however the needless slaughter of mobs for Antlers that have a low drop rate, while others are also doing the quest greater fun with faction tagging!

Bad quest, avoid unless you really need the reward.

Comment by linda535

You CAN turn around and fly thru the rings again to get the reward.

Comment by linda535

Fluffy white smoke rings against fluffy clouds, a time or place limit and with "wings" that fail halfway down. What can go wrong?

Comment by ender1111

I hate this quest. Aside from the ring visibility issue, and the slaughtering of beautiful creatures, I can't stand quests that hide objectives behind other objectives. Show me *ALL* the objectives straightaway so I know how long this quest might take.
