You just have to throw the parachutes to the green npcs outside the camp.

Sometimes the flying mobs will pick up NPC's and try to take them away. If they escape or the mob gets killed, the NPC is dropped from the air. Therefore they need parachutes. You can help them, by throwing parachutes at them while they are on the ground.

Any of them can receive it, but there's a non-visible cooldown timer on each NPC that makes them only be able to receive one every so many seconds.

This quest led to one of the most amusing bugs I've ever seen in WoW.

The Gargoyles that pick up the Argent Crusaders can be attacked, and by accident my Whirlwind hit one right as it was swooping towards a Tauren Crusader. Well both mobs bugged, and instead of the Tauren being picked up and dropped, he just hovered a few inches above the ground with a Gargoyle stuck to his back.

What resulted from this unholy union is effectively a Tauren with a jet pack. He zoomed around the battlefield, still in control of his movements, but all the while supported by his Gargoyle strapped to his back Banjo-Kazooie style.

I about died laughing.

A very quick strategy for this quest is to look out for Argent Defenders that are about to be abducted by Sky Terrors. Throw them a parachute for quest credit and they'll survive being carried up and dropped by the Sky Terror and you can then immediately throw them another when they come back down for double quest credit, as they'll have already used the first one that you gave them in parachuting down from the Sky Terror.

You can do this with the scourge costume equipped. Makes it easier if you've already killed your 10 scourge.

Easiest way for 77+ druids to do this is to fly above the battlefield, and hunt out the NPCs. Fly a decent distance above the ground, but in range to throw the parachutes.

Throw parachute, then click flightform just after (don't need to wait for quest credit).

Scout out another NPC, and repeat.

this can glitch in favor of you.. sometimes the npcs kinda float there and u can throw them the parachute over and over again

Comment by cap3r0n

Sort of reminds me of Lemmings

Comment by canyoneagle

You can easily tell if the NPC already has a parachute because it shows up as a buff on his character window. Easy quest.
The scourge tend to mob so this is also a great farming ground for Frostweave Cloth.

Multi-box friendly quest. Hotkey the parachute item, have all your alts target the same mob and hit your hotkey. You'll get credit for each alt you have, so if you are two-boxing, you only need to 'equip' 5 guys with parachutes. 5-boxers only need to do 2 guys. Etc.

1. Set the parachute to a hotkey on your action bar.
2. Hang around the part of the field closest to Argent Stand, where the semi-circle of guards are stationed.
3. Keep an eye out for a sky terror swooping down. Click the guard under it asap and throw the parachute.

You have to be quick. If they're too far away from you, don't bother, as you won't have time to get there before the guard is dropped to his death.

I was able to throw all ten to the same npc a couple yards away from the questgiver that wasn't falling he was just standing there. Possibly the easiest quest I've done in a long time

Comment by Ambusher

You can just keep throwing the parachutes to the same NPC over and over again.. at least I think I did it 6 or 7 times. Dunno if that was a bug.

Comment by Xrystal

Easily the worst quest in Wrath. Took me forever and the guys are a pain in the ass to target.

Comment by 213721

just done this quest a second ago I was lucky enough to come across a bug which enabled me to use the parachute on just one NPC. She was floating in the air slightly and had around half health did this quest in a matter of seconds

Comment by 433572

You can throw the parachutes on Crusaders who have been abducted, but are not yet out of range. I did several times and I felt like a hero.

Comment by 487637

Ahaha it's bugged on my server.... All the Argent Crusaders are just standing idle not attacking the scourge and they've all got the parachute buff....

The gargoyles fly down... hover over them and just fly off...

I can't complete the quest! ahaha i should probably be &*!@ed but i find it funny >.>

BUGGED
After tossing 3 parachutes and killing 3 scourge. It stopped giving me credit. It wouldnt count any more scourge I killed or parachutes, I dropped the quest and started again....still no credit for anything.

I stood at the base of the step and tossed the parachutes to the argent crusaders, very easy

Comment by Allakhazam

and if you are aleady killing the scourge, the Crusaders & Shieldmen will jump in to help you, so you can just toss them a parachute in the middle of the battle.

Comment by Allakhazam

I'd throw a 'chute and the CD timer would cycle, but then it would be a bit longer before I could throw again. Couldn't see any correlation between the timer and the actual interval. Mildly annoying.

Comment by Motopal

Hey folks, it seems only partially bugged. :-D If you are patient enough, the fliers will take away the guys with parachutes, and you'll be able to give more away.

Or you can venture farther out and find some folks that still need parachutes.

The "bug" seems to be how slowly or reluctantly the fliers are picking up the guys with parachutes. So it's easy to give away 5 parachutes to the guys around you and then "no one" will accept parachutes after that, because it is taking so long for the fliers to take those guys away. But wait long enough (WHAT!) or go find some guys that need parachutes. ;-)
