I'm at 9k at the moment ... but I'm also levelling a fifth character which means I have to spend money on mounts for 1 more guy :/

Heh yeah, after getting a netherdrake on my solo char in one week I was like, oh, it'll be easy!

So I started doing netherwing and worked on it for like 6 hours three days in a row, and I'm only halfway through friendly now. :P So, 6000x4 rep gained.

It's slow as hell and I lost my motivation. :< I'll just do 2 or 3 easy dailies now and then when I can be arsed. :P

I'd prefer skyguard. Less gathering and you can do em with Ogri'la quests too ;)

Besides, netherdrakes are just ugly ;(

Doing all the drake quests daily as annoying as they are will net you about 5 k back per person as well as exalted in 2 weeks or less .


Grats on the mounts !

Does it really only take 2 weeks to grind this rep? How many of these dailies are boxer friendly?

The quests in the mines aren't too bad. I've done this grind 3x (solo characters)
The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Great_Netherwing_Egg_Hunt') / Accpeting All Eggs ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Accepting_All_Eggs')
This is the general grind, You can snag these as you see them, or on each of my toons I ran a path around the island farming the eggs. Not very boxer friendly since they spawn once or twice an hour around the area.

Nethercite Ore ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Nethercite_Ore') / Netherdust Pollen ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Netherdust_Pollen') / Nethermine Flayer Hide ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Nethermine_Flayer_Hide') - 7g 59s (each)
Good if you have gatherers, and often you can find these items on the AH. You have to have the profession to get the quest (Mining / Herbalism / Skinning).

Netherwing Crystals ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Netherwing_Crystals') - 11g 99s
Drop rate off mobs on the island. Not a terrible drop rate, my experience was bout 60% I wouldn't say this would be boxer friendly. They're also BoP so you couldn't gather / trade off to your clones.

A Slow Death ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:A_Slow_Death') - 11g 99s
Another gather X quest. You'll see most of these quests are gather this or that. This is probably the single worst quest in the game. I would NOT do this unless you're just really out for the rep. The quest item drops off the mobs in SMV. My best experience was farming the fel boars and even then the drop rate was still less than 10%. The good thing, you only have to farm 12, your clones will get credit as long as they're in range when you poison the camps. The camps are often buggy, don't ever use the item on a camp that has an enraged / not working orc or orcs that aren't moving, but just standing still.

The Not-So-Friendly Skies... ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Not-So-Friendly_Skies...') - 11g 99s
This involves killing the orcs that are flying in and out of the area. There are elites near but you can stand just out of range of them and aggro the orcs as they land / take off. Or you can fly up to one of the floating platforms / isles above and snag them as they fly by. They're on timer when they fly in / out and it can be some downtime to wait for them. Not a bad drop rate, but its not great either.

Quests Availible @ Friendly

Picking Up the Pieces ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Picking_up_the_Pieces...') - 18g 28s
This quest is in the mine. You need 15 cargo, they're randomly spawned all over inside the mine, not a bad grind since you'll be in here killing mobs anyway. But still a pain x5. I believe this is the highest paying daily out here though. 18g 28s. Since you just dropped a metric ton of cash on epics, may be worth grinding it out.

Dragons are the Least of Our Problems ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Dragons_are_the_Least_of_Our_Problems')
FINALLY a boxer friendly daily. This one is simple, go into the mine and kill ravagers and flayers. You'll kill more ravagers than flayers, back when this rep was first introduced there were VERY few ravager spawns. They later patched it and went a bit overboard.

The Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Booterang:_A_Cure_For_The_Common_Worthle ss_Peon') - 11g 99s
This one is pretty easy, you just fly around looking for the peons that are red or have the dazed effect and use the booterang on them. They're plenty running around and you only have to do it on 1 toon for the group. Very boxer friendly.

Quests Availible @ Honored

Disrupting the Twilight Portal ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Disrupting_the_Twilight_Portal') - 11g 99s
This is another boxer friendly, fly out to twighlight ridge in western Nagrand and kill 20 deathshadow agents, any humanoid in the area gives credit.

Quests Availible @ Revered
The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Aldor) ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Deadliest_Trap_Ever_Laid_%28Aldor%29') / The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Scryer) ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Deadliest_Trap_Ever_Laid_%28Scryer%29') - 18g 28s
Group friendly, this is easy enough, you just need to keep your HP up and nuke down the orcs that attack the Altar of The Sha'tar / Sanctum of the Stars. Another good one for cash.


How to get from Hated to Neutral: (paste from:http://www.wowwiki.com/Netherwing)
The quest chain begins by speaking with Neutral [71+] Mordenai, who wanders the Netherwing Fields in the southeast corner of Shadowmoon Valley. You will need a flying mount for this chain.

1. Neutral [70] Kindness ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Kindness')
2. Neutral [70] Seek Out Neltharaku ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Seek_Out_Neltharaku')
3. Neutral [70] Neltharaku's Tale ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Neltharaku%27s_Tale')
4. Neutral [70] Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Infiltrating_Dragonmaw_Fortress')
5. Neutral [70] To Netherwing Ledge! ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:To_Netherwing_Ledge%21')
6. Neutral [70] The Force of Neltharaku ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Force_of_Neltharaku')
7. Neutral [70G5] Karynaku ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Karynaku')
8. Neutral [70G5] Zuluhed the Whacked ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Zuluhed_the_Whacked')
9. Neutral [70] Ally of the Netherwing ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Ally_of_the_Netherwing') (+42000 reputation)

There are single one time quests you can do as your rep increases, not all are boxer friendly, some would require you do them 1 at a time on each toon. If you want your drakes asap do all the dailies everyday and when you're done grind out eggs. I haven't boxed these yet as I don't have a team high enough yet but I've done the grind on solo toons: my warlock in 5 days. Rogue in 4 days and Druid in 6 days. Stealthing eggs is hacks though :_) So your mileage may vary and it may take a bit longer, but imo drakes are the best looking mounts in the game. Hope this helps someone. And grats on the epics :_)

I can never seem to gather enough money....leveling a group seems to cost a ton when it comes to training them at lvl60 with no prior training ;(

I dusted off my solo druid and moved some money around last night to get him epic flying, but not the flight form yet. I have to say I like the Netherwing dailies so far. Maybe it's just because they are new to me, but compared with the dailies in Skettis and Ogri'la, I'm much happier with the Sunwell and Netherwing quests. My 5 box team isn't high enough to have flying mounts yet, so I figure I'll do the dailies on the druid and then ship the money over when the time comes. It beats grinding belfs at BT.

Watch it Skuggo. You're going the wrong direction with this thread. ;)
Might be relevant. Multiboxing (and WoW in general) tends to draw some wife aggro if take to excess. Skuggo recommends a pretty good threat reduction technique, actually.

Of course, I find that "Honey, I'll watch the kids today while you get a pedicure" is pretty comparable to mind-blowing sex for wiping WoW-threat, perhaps better. :(
