Sha'tari Skyguard Reputation Tips
The Sha'tari Skyguard is a faction related to the Sha'tar that is closely associated with a special epic flying mount, the nether ray. There are other reputation-based rewards as well, such as epic trinkets. Once you reach honored reputation, you will have access to a free direct flightpath between the two Skyguard camps in Terokkar Forest and Blade's Edge Mountains. While using this flightpath, you get to ride a nether ray, as a preview of what you will look like when you get your very own.
A combination of daily and one-time quests allows you to raise your reputation from the starting state of neutral all the way to exalted. You do not need to have 300 riding skill to do any of the Skyguard quests or to purchase the Nether Rays at Exalted. You will need 300 riding skill to ride a nether ray, however.
To begin the process of befriending the Skyguard, talk to Yuula, who is located near the flight master in Shattrath City. If you have the requisite 225 riding skill, she will send you out to slay Gordunni Ogres in the Barrier Hills, which are only a few seconds by flying mount from Shattrath City. Once you've slain the requisite number of ogres, Yuula will be impressed enough with your prowess to recommend you to the Skyguard camp of Blackwind Landing.
