So uh, just like the rocket you get from the gnome workshop only without the charges and time limit. I could live with that.

This is one of the Rewards for the Darkmoon Faire Race

There are prizes for completing the Real Big Race within 20 tolls:

◾Big Powermonger: Gold, for using a Powermonger, rewards Darkmoon Cannon. This shoots you out of a cannon and lets you fly for a minute.
◾Big Wanderluster: Gold, for using a Wanderluster, rewards a Darkmoon Gazer. This item is quite similar to Eye of Kilrogg and lets you scout out dangerous areas.
◾Big Rocketeer: Gold, for using a Rocketeer, rewards a Race MiniZep Controller. This teaches the battle pet Race MiniZep.
◾Big Race Roadhog, for using a Racing Strider, rewards a Checkered Flag. This increases mount speed by 30% for 10 minutes.

Completing the Real Race within 11 tolls also rewards prizes:

◾ Powermonger: Gold, for using a Powermonger, rewards a Gaze of the Darkmoon. This puts a Darkmoon Faire marker over someone's head.
◾Wanderluster: Gold, for using a Wanderluster, rewards an Attraction Sign. This places down a blinking arrow, similar to the ones used as decorations around the Faire.
◾ Rocketeer: Gold, for using a Rocketeer, rewards an Everlasting Darkmoon Firework. This is a permanent version of Darkmoon Firework, a firework with the Faire logo.
◾ Darkmoon Racer Roadhog, for using a Racing Strider, rewards a Fire-Eater's Vial. This sets your breath on fire, like many of the Darkmoon Faire NPCs.

Warning use some kind of slow fall with this thing there are no magic wings

i just used it from outside my garrison main hall pointing towards the entrance , and died...

Comment by taohu

~~The tooltip is just completely wrong.~~ Tooltip corrected in 6.2

What this item does:
When using it, you build a cannon that launches you at a semi high altitude about 150-200 yards forward, upon landing depending on altitude change you take about 90%-100% of your hp in fall damage, the fall damage can be fatal. This item is not consumed on use.

This item didn't work for me on DMF island, appears to work in Draenor

EDIT: I have since tried using it in several other places like Dalaran streets, Ironforge, Shrine of Two Moons (flyable area) with no success of it working. However it worked when I used it outside DMF portal in Mulgore, Westfall, Horde Garrison. Found no correlation with flight/no flight zones, maybe this item is just kinda buggy.

Comment by dutchrend1

This is kind of like having a 2nd Aviana's Feather but make sure you have your engineering cloak or glider consumable ready because it doesn't guarantee a safe landing!

Comment by Asmundr

Works in non-flying zones like Draenor, Stormshield and the DMF.

Comment by GruffGames

This thing is pretty bugged atm, seems about 50/50 weather it will work. Used it twice in the faire, worked the first time, failed the second. Same results elsewhere.

Heres a video guide I made, for anyone struggling.

This is just an item in the inventory, not account wide. Too bad. Thankfully it has no charges

Comment by Gigabear

I nominate this item for biggest cut and paste job in the history of WoW. Not only does it have the tooltip of the XD-57 "Bullseye" Guided Rocket Kit, it also uses most of the same code.

Besides having the same exact countdown with different text, it also has the infamous "exploding man" glitch where your character will "blow up" and shake the ground on logging in and zoning occasionally.

Comment by Therferon

Why this is not a toy? Same with this Darkmoon Gazer

Comment by 1439176

Fly for 1 minute the item said,used 2 times and 2 times died,fall can be fatal,200 yard maybe u FLY,no sense.

Comment by triggz

Works in combat and can be used to escape fights like the feather, you become untargettable as soon as you use it.

Comment by Zapph

Being as this is an achievement reward item, you will only get it on one character when you get the achievement but you can still get the Cannon again on an alt if you complete the same achievement on them, don't worry.

It's a pretty nice little item as when used it will make you untargetable (exiting combat, dropping aggro, making other players unable to attack you) and launching you a moderate distance across and upwards, which can also be nice for getting to areas you otherwise would be just out of reach of. Although be warned, it doesn't have any mechanics to slow your fall so be prepared for some heavy fall damage and it sometimes doesn't launch you if you're on heavily sloped terrain or on any 'object' such as a stone or a bridge that isn't part of the 'ground' in the game.

Comment by maurotdo

I suggest not using the cannon if you have high latency (let's say over 300ms). If you do, all sort of weird things can happen, from missing wing buff (and you fall to death), hitting invisible walls, going off-track and other various stuck or stuttering bugs.

Comment by Dabow

I didn't personally get it, but i heard it can't be used in bgs and i've never saw anyone using it in a bg... so this must be true.

Comment by Pacifikathor

You can use it to get King of the Spider-Hill

Comment by BlackMantha

I might have figured out when this item fails. You must be standing directly on the ground when using it. And by ground I mean the heightmap, not the rocks or caves that can be added to it. Most people first try it standing on the Darkmoon broadwalk, so it fails.

Comment by Ivytwo

I like using this to get to the spawn point of the darkmoon rabbit more quickly... Walk down the darkmoon path just until you get to the edge of the cliff overlooking the faire, set the cannon while you're facing slightly toward the left and off you go. Make sure you have something to slow your fall! As a Boomkin I use the flap glyph. Use your slowfall/flap/etc. once you start to descend and you should make it all the way to the water and then let yourself drop in. Water strider or other water walking mount makes it easier once you land, but no need to drop far offshore so even if you don't have a water walking mount it works well.

Comment by Omnisom

I really hope this becomes a toy eventually. Trying to get this achievement on every character is extremely difficult.

Comment by Tikitak

Nice for getting around the Broken Isles. Combined with a glider, really nice.

Comment by tale

Doesn't work properly on Argus. Feh.

Comment by riotAlice

I wonder what was behind the decision to not make this a toy? Too much of a mobility advantage, maybe?

Comment by sadistic12345

doesnt work for me at all used it n the darkmoon island right after i got the achievement

Comment by Raszero

Now never fails. Quite the buff.

Comment by HughJaynis

Works on Zandalar / Kil tiras. Perfect combo with Goblin glider.

Comment by Esmea

This item provided quite possibly the most comedic 'villain escape' I have ever seen off of The Great Seal in Dazar'alor. The person even laughed prior to launching themselves off into the distance. Whoever that was, you, sir, are brilliant! I was laughing for a good 5 minutes.

Comment by BendTheKneeOrDie

enjoy people using this in world pvp :))

Comment by Zapph

Appears to have been nerfed in 8.1 so your cast is interrupted when hit. Thanks Blizz.

Comment by Ironekk

I were using it while being outnumbered by enemy, then emoting them /bye while flying away, but i guess it's too much for Blizzard Fun Police.

Comment by Shanksor

Hunters rejoice ! You can pop your turtle and go about building this item with no worries. I just did it and it works just fine. If you hit them back to back your shell will stay up until you are in the cannon and it turns to fire. Obviously I cannot make sure that I can't be interrupted while doing this but I do have the word of other pvpers that say you cannot be interrupted with your shell up. Please feel free to correct me if this is wrong or if for some reason the cannon is still interruptable itself with your shell up as I have yet to get myself into a scrap that I needed or wanted to get away from quick.

For the non hunters out there, I am pretty sure that you can't fire the net gun on a grounded target but I would have mine ready and be spamming the button as soon as I saw my enemy doing this., So please if it does work, don't come back here whining about how its not fair that we are still able to use this in pvp and you can't. That's why this and every other fun item in the game has been turned into worthless pixel art by Blizz.

Comment by Lemistio

Can be used in the Maw, cool when used with goblin glider, allows to traverse the area with ease

Comment by ibokeosdelb

This seems like it was harder to get in 9.2?
I've gotten it on many other characters before prior to 9.2, now doing the same strat I end up with like 30-40 tolls instead of 18 or 19.

Comment by GoodVenom

Currently appears to be bugged and unobtainable due to a bug as of 9.2.

The bug makes the "tolls" for the race almost twice as fast.

Comment by KikiyoDragon

Works by the flight master in Valdrakken! Definitely not the fastest way to get around during Dragonflight, but still fun.

Comment by wownerd83

this toy has completely disappeared from my toys

Comment by WuSage3

Using this on a monk's Zen Flight will make you launch from where the cloud was. The cannon will fall, but you'll still launch way up. Super funny.
