Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon




 * "Safe? When was the last time you had any REAL fun doing anything safe?" - Maxima Blastenheimer

The Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon is one of the attractions of the Darkmoon Faire. The ultra cannon can blast players into the air, giving them a fun ride.

Usage
When you talk to cannoneer she will explain the workings of the cannon to you.

In short: to get a launch, right-click the cannon to activate it. You will be loaded into the barrel, the cannon is aimed and off you go. During the flight you will get a Magic Wings buff which (in theory) ensures a soft landing.

The Target
Near the end of the flight there is a target floating in the water. For extra fun you can try to drop yourself inside that target. Right click the Wings buff icon to remove the wings and drop. On hitting the water or the ground you will get a Touchdown! buff for one second.

Landing close to the target will give you a buff that lasts for one hour. The buff has no effect apart from showing your accomplishment. Different buffs are given depending on the distance to the center of the target:
 * [[image:INV Misc Map02.png|20px]]Poor Shot! Your latest attempt at the cannon landed you near the target area. Better luck next time!
 * [[image:Ability Hunter SniperShot.png|20px]]Close! Your latest attempt at the cannon was close to the center, but not close enough.
 * [[image:Ability Hunter FocusedAim.png|20px]]Bullseye! Your latest attempt at the cannon was dead on!

Beware when you drop that landing in the water is usually safe (apart from possible level 6-9 mobs nearby), but dropping on land will probably kill you, especially in Thunder Bluff.

Riding the wings all the way to the end will put you down relatively safely.

Location
The cannon travels with the Darkmoon Faire and can be found nearby.
 * In Elwynn Forest on the east side of the faire.
 * On Thunder Bluff near the top of the lifts that take you to the faire.
 * In Shattrath City on the Terrace of Light near the Aldor bank.
