The flight cap is a rare and highly sought after item, only attainable outside the Vortex Pinnacle after completing this achievement.

Commento di Ushikawa

The orbs may be found in the following locations:

1 & 2: Just off the edge of the platform with the hurricane orbs, shortly after Grand Vizier Ertan. Simply jump off the side and click them.

3 & 4: Altairus' room. These must be attained while fighting Altairus, as you will need to use the tornados to reach them. They are on opposite sides of the dome that he is fought in.

5: Beginning of the final platform that leads to Asaad. Run up the first ramp, after defeating the trash, and go back to the edge of the platform you are now on. Jump off and collect the orb.

Commento di asaphelps

These look like white balls with a loot bag over them with a mouseover. I've seen 7 of them:

1 on each side of the bridge before the second boss, the one with those 2 aoe orbs.
2 during the second boss in the air. I believe you need to use the twisters to reach them.
2 on the spiral after the second boss. You can just jump and hit them.
1 on the spiral before the last pull, tried our best couldn't reach it. You probably need to use the Zephyr buff but seems very difficult.

Commento di 516041

I was able to get the last one by combining the zephyr speed boost and levitate. I suppose nitro boosts or the parachute cloak would work as well.

Commento di Redtah

So my group just got 8 Orbs in this first run we did,

1 & 2 - After first boss walk past him and look on the back of his platform, 2 next to the tornado you need to take to progress, look right and you can grab it without falling off the platform

3 & 4 - The hurricane gale balls one on each side.

5 & 6 - Only obtainable during the boss fight

7, 8, 9 - 7 is on the first platform after the second boss, 8 and 9 are on the second platform just before the boss. (These are the only *hard* to find ones since they may not be in plain sight)

EDIT: found another one after the first boss

Note that while the achievement says "single visit", this only refers to the dungeon ID. This means that once you've finished the dungeon you can teleport out and back in using the minimap button in order to get to the beginning platform, since the final platform has no exit.

Edit: As the replier stated, they changed the way jumping off of the platform works, so you no-longer need to exit and re-enter.

Commento di Chromell

Note that this achievement is shared for all the group members, you don't have to collect 5 orbs with your character, anyone can get them and as soon as you earn 5 the whole group receives the achievement.

Commento di brzyd4l

Following a very nice guide by Redtah, I did it after the final boss kill.
Was looking around at the instance and browsing achievements and I thought I will give it a try :)
So, even if the instance is clear, You can still do this achievement.
Good luck,
Tymotheus

Commento di TheKnowledge

The easiest 5 orbs to obtain are:

1. After the first trash pull, there is an orb sitting just off the ledge to the left, all you have to do is fall and you can grab it.

2 & 3. Crossing the bridge towards the 2nd Boss, Altarius, there are two off to the right side that can easily be obtained by first lining up with them, than jumping at them.

4 & 5. Going up the ramp on the 3rd platform, towards the first pull in the grounding fields, there are two off the edge of the ramp that can be obtained the same way as 2 & 3.

There are more orbs in the Instance, these are just the easiest to obtain as they don't require anything but jumping at them.

The flight cap is a rare and highly sought after item, only attainable outside the Vortex Pinnacle after completing this achievement

I believe that he's making a joke. Ha ha. But there's no "flight cap" in the game, nor do you get to turn into a raccoon or anything. I'd like an invincibility star every now and then in WoW tho...

Commento di 753362

I made an account JUST to post this after seeing a lot of comments about it.

I was doing this achievement and my guildy didn't even know I was doing it. When I clicked the last orb, it gave him the achievement as well. So either it counts for the people you que'd with, you maybe it's just a guildy thing, but either way, you only need 1 set of orbs if you are doing this with friends.

Commento di 153653

Solo'd today after my group cleared the instance. Im mage, very easy with Slow Fall and the arcane talent Improved Blink ( 70% move speed after using blink ). Just cast Slow Fall and then Blink and jump, extremly easy. I took the 2 at start after the first boss, the 2 at the spiral after second boss, and the last orb at the last spiral ( before the last pull of Falling Star or w/e they are called) :)

Commento di anubalabeloralon

For those not so obvious ones,

/tar golden orb

after you aquire an orb, *insert random wolk gem* focusing lens should be able to point out its location

Commento di 769650

if u fall off, using warlock's summoning stone to get you will make the job of collecting the others a piece of cake

Commento di Sounder

I soloed this as an Engineer after my group cleared the instance. Only 6 orbs had spawned, two of them above Altairus' platform.

The one on the final spiral ramp before the endboss I got with a Nitro Boosted double-jump: once to the railing and again off it. (The railing is a bit too tall to just run onto it.)

The 5th, which you're supposed to get during the Altairus fight by tornado-hopping, I got by standing directly underneath and popping nitro boosts every 3 minutes until I got a malfunction. :-)

Commento di zomgrogue

If you're a goblin this achievement is cake. Grab the 2 by the howling gales, grab the two going up the stairs (after killing dragon), the first you can jump and the second you can rocket jump out to, and the last one you can easily get is the one going down the ramp to asaid, again just rocket jump out.
Ezmode Enjoy your achievement.

Commento di zulmas

It's VERY easy achi to do, but it takes some time - if You go solo, you have to jump off platforms to grab 'em, so after each orb - you start from the 1st platform next to the instance portal.

After you clear the dungeon there are two zephyrs: to the left and to the right of the main portal. When facing 1st boss, left takes you to the 2nd platform right takes you to the 3rd platform, it's a useful shortcut but even tho it takes time to grab 'em.

If you are still in group, warlocks are the salvation doing this achi.

gl everyone!

Commento di 640745

Just soloed this.. my group cleared the dungeon and i was bored so stayed in.. I found 3 orbs where i was just able to drop down and grab them and get ported back. Grabbed one of the ones where the spinning orbs knock you backwards. Just line yourself up back to the gold orb and wait for your dot to stop ticking and it'll knock you back and be ready to snatch it up. There was another on a ramp, didn't need the speed boost or anything, just went a little further up the ramp and tried for it a few times and was finally able to grab it. Definitely pivot your camera around. I can't remember the locations of the three I dropped for but definitely easy to get, and the two knock back ones make it cake. No mage needed as I'm a druid and only used kitty form to go faster after falling off the side. =]

Commento di sanduu

was no problem doing that as a rogue,use sprint and collect them all,verry easy ,you need just to search them,wich is not a hard job,Good luck!

Commento di DezSP

Unfortunately, the Loot-A-Rang does not work on the Golden Orbs. :(

Commento di 853333

Actually in whole instance there are total of 8 orbs.

Commento di Brozarius

You and your team mates can get the achievement after you have cleared the instance.
I was there with a pally on my mage, he was in Stormwind after the run, he came back when I picked up the 5th orb.
The only 2 I got during the run, were the two on the platform of the 2nd boss (using the wind to get up).

Commento di Eindrachen

Here's the sequence I did, and it seemed the most pain-free way to do it. Works best for ranged DPS who can walk around for the first two.

1 & 2: Get these from Altairus. There are two in the area where you fight the dragon, usually at the outer edge of the area (for me, one was by the entrance, the other near where you exit to the next area of the dungeon).

To get them, stand under them and wait for a wandering tornado to toss you in the air, and then just click on the orb while up there. The problem with these two orbs is fighting the boss while doing it: conventional wisdom says to be near the boss and shift position to take advantage of the wind that speeds you up or slows you down. Naturally, this will be nearly impossible for melee and anyone that needs to channel stuff, but ranged folks (especially those with fire-and-forget stuff, like warlocks with DOTs) can do this easier.

3 & 4: I wait until Asaad is dead, so that nobody has to wait on me for a silly achievement. Then, staying in the dungeon, go back to the beginning and jump on the left-hand tornado near the dungeon entrance. You'll be near the bridge with the swirly orbs that knock you around unless you attack with weapons.

There should be 2 orbs here, on the side of the bridge. To get them, you need the orbs to knock you over to them; jumping off and clicking doesn't seem to be enough to get to them. So, attack an orb enough to stop it for a moment. Then, use camera angle to make sure you are directly between the bridge orb and the one you're trying to get, and facing out to the one you're getting. When the bridge orb fires up again and knocks you over the side, you should fly straight at the golden orb; just click like crazy to try and catch it before you start the sequence where you get sent back to dungeon entrance. This may take a few tries, but these are some of the easiest orbs to catch.

5+: The rest is pretty much your choice. The last third section of the dungeon has up to three golden orbs off the sides of the spiral ramps going up and down. Just get the speed buff the little tornado gives you, and run-jump off the side to get the orb. My advice is to run-jump from a slightly higher angle than straight from the side, to give you more clearance and distance.

There are other orbs, too, but they may not be quite as easy to get; I leave that to the judgement of the individual player.

Good luck!

Here is a good and simple Youtube guide for 5 orbs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5Rv3xF33k

Commento di steigendraak

This achieve was pretty easy to get. Went with 4 others from my guild, and if someone else in the group gets it, it will count towards your achievement as well. Had to jump for most of them, seeing as they weren't in range. And a quick tip: When jumping at an orb, make sure to constantly click on the orb until you get it, otherwise you will likely miss.
The last orb was a bit of a challenge, seeing as the boss had to put out some tornadoes just to be able to reach it, and the tornado needs to get you up close to the orb. So for the last one, engage the boss, but don't kill him until someone manages to click on the orb.

Commento di kardanis

Suggestion for mages how to click the orbs hanging along the bridges.

Get as closer to the orb that possible.
Use Slow fall and Blazing speed.
Keep jumping on the edge. Eventually you'll see the target symbol has turned from grey to golden/brownish.

Commento di mcjkaiser

For the ones on the bridge use your goblins rocket jump while standing on the ledge facing the orb and shoot straight out at it and click it, i suggest putting it on your cast bar so you can click it with one hand and click with the other.i don't entirely remember but i think engineers might have something that could help possibly the goblin hang glider or something.and possibly the warlocks portal combined with burning embers might get you back on the bridge after you just off so you dont have to keep running back.

As for the locations,

1) Right after the first boss the platform that the funnel takes you to the next area there;s one right below the platform on the edge of it on your left side if your facing the funnel it will be close enough that all you have to do is get close and click it.

2/3) Are on the bridge after you face your first dragon add which is pretty soon after the first one the first bridge after the first orb its pretty out in the open you cant miss it you'll see.

4) The fourth one is at the location of the second boss. when the battle starts he creats a mini tornado that tosses you up in the air and for me at least he did it right away and it was on target with the orb i actually missed the click the first toss up and got it on the second and killed the boss., Didn't even take 60 seconds from the start of the fight its that easy. you dont have to click the tornado or anything u just walk into it and it tosses you up, also if your facing the boss before you start the fight the orb is roughly between 1 and 2 o'clock if behind the boss is 12 and in front where you are is 6,

5) As for the last one its on the way down to the last boss, the last winding ramp it will have the little swirls of wind rolling down it, not the one with the wind going up it. the orb will be in mid air on your left side. i got it basically by using the same method as the second and third one.

I really do hope this was helpful to at least somebody, good luck to all

Commento di guishir

As a hunter attempting this, Disengage is your friend. It helped me get to a lot of them.

For the two beside the bridge, I made the starting mistake of killing the wind orbs on the bridge itself. I'm sure it's possible to get them without using that, but I gave up in frustration after the fifth or sixth failed attempt as I didn't seem to be able to click on them even when I apparently passed right through them. For anyone else, I'd strongly recommend not killing the howling gales if at all possible, as that seems to be the only valid method here (unless I just had really bad luck).

I also failed to get the ones on Altairus' platform, as I killed him too quickly. I think it would be a lot easier to get if you try not to kill him and pick up the one or two above him using the twisters that knock you up to them.

Happy hunting!

Commento di pegaseus1

There are actually 9 orbs that i found....some take some real maneuvering to get to but with persistance & determination...i got the achiev

Commento di Stoichkov

The first orb is behind the first boss, Gran Visir Ertan, to the right side. It can be touched by jumping at it (I used Rapidità Bruciante as a warlock).

The second orb, near the vortex behind the first boss, does not seem to exist anymore - at least I didn't find it where it should be, according to the video someone else posted.

Orbs 3+4 are next to the two spheres on the bridge which need to be destroyed first. These orbs can be jumped at (again I used Rapidità Bruciante).

Orbs 5+6 are with boss Altairus in mid air. Begin the fight and don't kill him. During the fight there will be vortexes all over the place. For each of the two orbs, stand in a vortex below, get lifted up, and click the orb.

By now the achievement was done, so I didn't bother any additional orbs.

Commento di Bodryn

Don't forget that the Slipstream at the beginning of the instance will port you past the furthest boss you have defeated. It will reduce your running time through the instance after you jump into the abyss to grab orbs.

Commento di 1013094

So here I was, getting gold balls while fighting Altairus, when sudden Drake of the North Wind dropped! I was first shocked to see a purple, then to see a mount! Hah, I didn't even know this was a drop! :P

Commento di 1510916

The first orb is behind the first boss, Grand Vizier Ertan, to the right side. It can be touched by jumping at it (I click on it with SPRINT as a rogue).

The second orb, near the SLIPSTREAM behind the first boss.

Orbs 3+4 are next to the two spheres on the bridge which need to be destroyed first. These orbs can be jumped at (again I used Burning Rush).

Orbs 5+6 are with boss Altairus in mid air. Begin the fight and don't kill him. During the fight there will be vortexes all over the place. For each of the two orbs, stand in a vortex below, get lifted up, and click the orb.

Orb 7 is on next platform on the way to Assad, to twisted path (up where is the electric field)

Orb 8 is on next twisted path where Assad is visible and this is looks like the LAST ONE :)

Commento di Pixiwix

Of all of the reasons why I love being a goblin...and there are a lot...rocket jump is towards the top. It comes in handy in so many situations, especially here! As someone else suggested, bind it to your key bindings and click; it's disturbingly simple after that.

Commento di rancidtuna2005

If you're going crazy looking for the first orb, it wasn't there for me. I don't know if this is a new thing, or if my UI was busted. The second orb was fine, but the 3rd and 4th on the bridge were in slightly different spots. Everything else was mostly the same. This might have changed recently, but there are still plenty of orbs for the achievement.

Commento di Leis

found an orb near the bridge just before the first boss, where them princes be at, theres a light pillar on the left side of the bridge, a stone throw from the item where u can swap tol'vir glyphs for buff. i've uploaded af screenie of it. i reckon it be the first one. like the others u have to get out over the edge to "loot" it.

edit: additional: 3rd and 4th orb are on the bridge as stated by others, 5 og 6th is at altairus (the mount drop boss), 7th is atop up the whirl-walk way, where u can fast run with a twister (screenie submitted)

u do not need any kind of boost for jumping to first 4 orbs, simply run to edge and jump off. The ones at altairus can be accessed by the twisters spawning during the boss fight (as stated by others).

u do not need to kill asaad to get it, i got me achi as soon as i hit the 5th orb.

as others said, taking the airstream next to the entrance (right hand side) will port you to the start of the latest boss platform available, so no worries about the run.

and last but not least.. to state the obvious... U WILL NOT GET KILLED ONCE JUMPING OFF THE EDGE

Because I can't see any mention, the first orb i found was at the very start of the instance, on the left side just before you cross the very first bridge of the instance behind the pillar.

Commento di Hunterareus

5-2016, Was able to get a couple of Orbs by Using A Goblin Glder Kit.
Run along the wall,jump off ,pull glider out, and ya might also luck out
And be able to land to safety

Commento di Mongrove

For anyone still needing this achievement -- this is easily done on a demon hunter. Stand on the edge of the walkway, aim yourself at the golden orb, keep your pointer on the golden orb, then hit the space bar three times (jump / double jump / glide) while clicking on the orb.

Repeat five times, and you've got it!

Note: don't be like me -- remember to set dungeon difficulty to Heroic before getting to the end boss and wondering when the orbs will spawn...

Commento di DreamMkr

Goblin rocket jump works great to get the 2 on the bridge.

Commento di veigodx

Do not be afraid to jump for the orbs. However, once you jump and collect an orb, you will be teleported back to the main entrance.

Commento di stellaspike

2018 Update: they have taken out some of the orbs and gliders do not work, however you can still jump for orbs and run back, additionally orbs reset after a few hours and your count goes back to zero if you wait too long/log out.

Commento di Zerias

2018 Update part 2. I found 9 orbs, ill just update this comment.

The first orb left at the entrance. By a pilar.

The second orb, near the SLIPSTREAM behind the first boss. Yet again to the left.

Orbs 3+4 are next to the two spheres on the bridge which need to be destroyed first. These orbs can be jumped at.

Orbs 5+6 are with boss Altairus in mid air. Begin the fight and don't kill him. During the fight there will be vortexes all over the place. For each of the two orbs, stand in a vortex below, get lifted up, and click the orb.

Orb 7+8 are on the spiral run up at thunder's rise on the way to azaad.

Orb 9 is on the run down at thunder's rise on the way to azaad. This is a tough one, you have to use the stream speedboost to get this.

Commento di Maravec

It might help to bind a key to "Interact with Mouseover." I don't have a mouse except for the one on my laptop, so jumping off the bridges after the orbs was a bit difficult until I remembered this particular key binding. You'll find it under "Targeting" in your "Key Bindings" setting. Just position your mouse above your character, jump off the bridge, and spam the heck out of your mouseover key binding.

Commento di MissApril

For the 2 orbs that are located to the left and right side of the bridge: as a Priest I levitated then jumped off the bridge while clicking on the orb. Worked like a charm.

Commento di Toumei

Note that if you're trying to do this on a max level character, the ones in the Altarius fight may be a little bit difficult. I stood in the vortexes and they probably said miss/dodge 50 times for every one time they threw me up in the air. Consider removing gear to bump down some of your stats.

Commento di 2034341

What I found is if you have the Scaglia di Drago Nero Vibrante from Wrathion in the Nyalotha Raid and use it before jumping, its possible to collect enough orbs.

Commento di Magz0r

I play a druid and since the instance is outside I shifted into travel form and used Wild charge to make the jumps way easier.

Commento di bakaprincess85

I got this achievement on my level 50 monk - I just jumped and right clicked on the golden orbs and then when I was transported back to the beginning of the dungeon, used slipstream to get to where I was before - it's just gonna take some time because of the backtracking. And you don't lose the orbs either.

Commento di auryunderground

I've submitted screenshots that follow along with the instructions in the comment left by Zerias describing the location of each orb.

Also, the newer feature to interact with objects by using a keybind makes this an absolute breeze - I definitely recommend using it for this achievement. To turn it on, go to the Game Menu (ESC) > Options > type "Interact" in the Options menu search bar > Check the box for "Enable Interact Key" and make sure that there is a keybind for "Interact with Target", since this is the keybind that you will use to interact with the orb as soon as you are close.

Lastly, when you are sent back to the entrance, there will be slipstreams that appear on either side of the dungeon entrance portal after killing the bosses. If I recall correctly, the one on the left will take you to Nimbus Ridge after Grand Vizier Ertan has been killed, and the one on the right will take you back to Thunder's Rise after killing Altairus.

Commento di Cruxier

Quick tip: you can avoid having to fall down and run back from the beginning of the dungeon if you use displacement skills like monk transcendence right after grabbing the orb. Warlocks should be able to use their teleport, mages could use alter time or their blink reset skill (don't remember the name). Saves quite some time.
