Right, Crossroads does not auto-flag you.

Ah, I didn't think of that! I was buffed up a bit, that must have been
it. There was a buffing fest going on in Ratchet. Everyone buffing
everyone. I think I even had an underwater breathing buff.

Level 50 solo to the Elder in Strat? Hats off to you sir! (unless
you're a rogue)

BTW, I'm not sure what the lower level limit is on getting the quest
to kill Omen (my 20s chars could not see it, my 40+ did), but it's
quite easy to do. You don't actually have to be in the raid that
kills Omen. When he dies a light shines down on the corpse - just run
into the light and the quest is completed. You just need to hang
around for a raid to kill him. I actually parked all my characters
there and then completed the quest on each, assembly-line style.
Endless moon stones, muhuwhahahaha!

Interesting, so, using the moonbeam, you can go *away* from the enemy
faction city but not *to* it.

Not me. What's this about a helicopter?

Priests and mages also have levitation/slow fall. I've I don't know if the
rogue fall mitigation would work, though. I've used levitation to glide off
the spire in Feralas (quest name "To the Top"). That's a fun sail over the
landscape.

My priest was healing Underbog last week...
You know the bit where you jump off the edge into the water? (well,
there's a couple, but it doesn't matter).

I get the bright idea to use levitate...
run of the edge and gracefully sail across the area into the pack of
mobs which then kills me.


The chat transcript went something like:
5
5
4.5
5

and lots of /applause

So, my one for the wishlist is: Controllable direction in
levitate/slow fall.

What's what about a helicopter? It's the new engineering mount. *

Certainly not true about the beam - but just pick it up and ride on - of
course if you are lowlevel it might be harder

Yeah, Blizzards cheats that way.

The flying mount engineers can build (requires engineering to use)

He said he got all 50 coins - not what his level was (presumably 70)

Ah. But that won't work in Azeroth. Flying mounts only work in Outland.
