| − | To understand how steady shot is affected by [[haste rating]]s it's important to understand how haste is calculated. A haste bonus is multiplied by frequency to achieve post-haste speed.

||
| − | |||
| − | Hunters are the only class whose [[GCD]] is unaffected by haste. For this reason, hunters who are specializing in the [[Beast Mastery]] tree and who have [[Serpent's Swiftness]] will find additional haste from gear to be almost worthless.

Wind Trader Marid is hoping you will be Getting Down to Business and start making him some profit.
Objectives
Gather 8 
[Nether Dragon Essence], then return to the Ethereal Teleport Pad area. Nether Dragon Essence may be obtained from Nether Drakes or Nether Dragons.
You will need:
Description
As you've no doubt seen, the area is teeming with nether dragons in various stages of growth. All nether dragons, young and old, contain an essence that's highly desired by K -- err, by a client of mine.
Most people aren't willing to risk their lives to gather it, so we've got the place to ourselves. You can start by gathering the essence from any of the creatures out here, but it's imperative that we start building a supply right away. Return to me once you have the first batch.
Progress
I'm certain you have many questions, all of which will be answered in due time.
Completion
And to think, that wretched ethereal was going to sell these essences to the blood elves like so much candy...
Reward
You will receive:
- 4
40
Notes
- The Drakes are easier to defeat but the Dragons have double the essence drop rate than the Drakes.
- You don't complete this quest with Marid. You complete it with the Shrouded Figure hiding behind the crystals near the Teleport Pad.
- If you have been recently working on your reputation with the Nethrdrakes you will need to set yourself "At War" with them in order to complete this quest. Do not worry though, you will not lose any reputation with them for killing the drakes that are out here!
