"An airborne military force created by Shattrath City to deal with the threats that loom in the highest reaches of Outland."

The Sha'tari Skyguard is a faction introduced in the latest patch that lets players fight within the newly revamped Skettis, Capital of the Arakkoa. Players with enough reputation with the Skyguard earn access to several unique and useful items, including the epic exalted reward, a Nether Ray mount of their choice.

Players begin at neutral with this faction.

Gaining Reputation

Players are introduced to this faction by speaking to Yuula <Recruitment Officer>, next to the flight master Nutral in Shattrath City. She will begin a quest, asking players to kill 20 Gordunni Ogres in the Barrier Hills above Shattrath. Once complete, she asks players to deliver a package to Sky Sergeant Doryn, north of Skettis, opening daily quests such as Fires above Skettis, a bombing run.

At Blackwing Landing, which is where the quest hub is, you may obtain a quest to kill 10 Warp Stalkers so you can feed a nether ray in your posession. At honored, you may obtain a flightpath between Blackwind and the Skyguard base in Blade's Edge Mountains, which lets you fly ontop of a Nether Ray while you travel. This takes you near Ogri'la, a newly populated area.

Severin in Blackwing Landing will start the main questline for the Skyguard, having players collect Shadow Dust to make Elixirs of Shadows for Sky Commande Adaris. After the initial turn in, players may repeatedly turn in more Shadow Dust for more Elixirs, and 75 reputation per turnin. The elixir gives 15 minute buff enabling platers to see the shadow arakkoa of skettis, needed for several quests.

There's also a drop that begins a quest, dropping from Talonpriest Ishaal. This sends players back to Adaris, then to Lower City, then back to Adaris - finally enabling a quest to get a package to disguise oneself as an Arakkoa and buy a book from Sahaak in Terokk's Rest. Once this book is turned in, players may, for 40 time-lost scrolls from Time-Lost Arakkoas, summon and kill 4 quest mobs. This quest is repeatable, but requires a group.

There's a soloable quest that has you escort a captive Skyguard in a cage at the top of a tower in Skettis, as well.
