Bypass the Hidden Hornswog Hostage questline (Free Battle-pet)

[forgotoldaccountlol]

So there's a hidden battle-pet named the Roseate Hopper at 64.9 69.6 in the Waking Shores that's blocked by a mob and invisible wall. To get to it, that requires a quest chain to get to, solve the obscure riddle, find the special items, blablabla-

Or, you can fly up in the air, dismount, drop to your death, and walk right on past in ghost form to get your free battlepet with 0 effort.

I did it the hard way since there was a guide on the comments in Wowhead, but this is by FAR a better solution. Definitely do this since finding those items for the puzzle is a tedious venture.

LOL. It just constantly amazes me the number of times Blizzard do this.

Did this last night with some friends.
Just a heads up though, if you are doing it with other people, you will prob need to wait about 10 minutes or so for the box to respawn for anyone who didnt loot it first.
