Would you like the Nether Drake? A nice and cheap mount? If you become exalted with the Netherdrakes, you will get your first mount for free and you will be able to buy all the other drakes for only 200 gold a piece.
Here is a guide about how to achieve this. It seems long, but it isn’t. You can make it in just a couple of days.
The only thing is that you have to be level 70 at least and you need Artisan Riding. The questgiver will not give you quests passed neutral if you don’t have artisan flying.
Remember: if you are human, all quest give +10 % reputation.

Guards definitely ignore you.
c. Get 10 Netherwing Relics
7. How to do “The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt”:
a. This quest can be done as many times as you want each day, there
is no limit

13. Go to 65,85
a. Talk to Trope the Filth-Belcher
i. Accept “Dragonmaw Race: Trope the Filth-Belcher”
b. Fly behind him and dodge the things he throws at you. This one is more difficult, the best way to do this race is to just stay farther back and underneath him. The aoe bombs will explode in front of you most of the time, giving you plenty of room to maneuver around them
14. Go to 66,87
a. Talk to Jaʼy Nosliw
i. Turn in “Dragonmaw Race: Trope the Filth-Belcher”
The next quests are about the race. You can do them all after each other. They have nerfed the race so it is much easier now, but if you can’t do them, no worries, you can get more reputation by just picking eggs. They are not mandatory.
15. Go to 65,85

17. Go to 65,85
a. Talk to Wing Commander Ichman
i. Accept “Dragonmaw Race: Wing Commander Ichman”
b. Fly behind him and dodge the things he throws at you. Much more difficult because heʼs very quick and sometimes the things he throw seems to come from nowhere. Best is to stay way above him and keep hitting space to fly higher and forwards to dive so you donʼt get hit by the fireballs. Donʼt be too far from him though or the quest will be considered as failed.
18. Go to 66,87
a. Talk to Jaʼy Nosliw
i. Turn in “Dragonmaw Race: Wing Commander Ichman”
19. Go to 65,85
a. Talk to Wing Commander Mulverick
b. Accept “Dragonmaw Race: Wing Commander Mulverick”
c. Fly behind him and dodge the things he throws at you. This one was a nightmare. I removed the II from my screen (ALT + Z ), put as much camera distance as possible and was way above him, as much as possible.
Now, he does this hysterical jump around from time to time and it makes it real difficult to follow. Keep your head cold and stay concentrate. Best is if you know the way and can come a bit ahead of him.
Be carefull because when you think you are finish, when you arrive on the runway again, then he does one of his “hysterical bombing again”, got killed there and itʼs real annoying to fail at the last spot. Be patient and keep going. I think I took this quest about 50 or 60 times before I made it. After a while, I only took it 3 times in a row and then moved on.
20. Go to 66,87
a. Talk to Jaʼy Nosliw
i. Turn in “Dragonmaw Race: Wing Commander Mulverick”
21. Go to 65,85
