Was also a horrible place for me - liked Borean Tundra much more than Howling... I would suggest you go there instead and maybe just grind a bit at the end unless you can do UK with your group.

Tundra has a ton of collections too but for some reason I found the zone much more interesting. Fjord was really boring.

Yea at 68 i went to bt and almost got 71 before i left there. Not to bad for collection quests there but omfg hf can goto yea you know where lol. Esp. when u get the golem suits that is hell on a boxer not doing it. You cant put them on follow so u gotta do it one at a time no ty i think imma pick some quests and drop rest and get the explore achievement. Oh and uk is a pain with 5 dks esp with the dragon things and handlers. How can u kill 71k hp and 36k hp at same time with a knock back nope it burns.

I don't like the fjord either, although I imagine it's fun for a single boxer - harpoon surfing, harvester rocket jumbs etc. I'm doing all the quests anyway since I'm just 3-boxing atm, but some are a major pain!

Yea that rocket jumping one was fun but wasnt doing it times five lol. But there are some places where boxing comes in handy. Like skorn that place looks like it sux for a single player. But the collection quests out there are so annoying. I look at it this way i need the rep for exalted for my engineer for the bike so i gotta do it on at least one of them for all quests ewwwww. So ive done 75 quests outta 130 so far and missed about 10 i know of that were collection. I figured the ones i know are bad imma just bring my 80 dk alone back thru that needs that rep.

Just skip it, you can get the rep later in dungeons by not equipping ANY rep tabard.

That quest is actually quite easy. Make your main do the quest, make the slaves follow you, if they aggro anything just kill the mob and continue on. The slaves will follow your main. That is how I completed the golem quest where you had to check the crystal. If your main analyzes a crystal, it will count for your slave. The same thing goes for the quest in steel gate where you have to fly the plane, just leave the slave there and do the quest with your main. It may be just me, but its not that bad.

yea the gate was easy but the thing i cant figure is how do u get them to follow one another in the golem suits i tried everything. Unless now im out in dragonblight if you have them all on follow when you equip the suits.

yea those suits cant get the other 4 to follow oh well guess i will do it one by one not to happy.Something I figured out, if they're already on follow when you enter the disguise/costume/suit/vehicle, they will stay on follow as long as it doesn't break (i.e., turbo boosts, etc). They won't follow after you enter the vehicle, but if they're already on follow, they will continue to follow.

What I do is go to the slave's screen and right click on my main's portrait. It gives you the option to follow him. The main's portrait is just below the vehicle portrait. It worked for me each time they broke follow. I also have Jamba and they auto follow me after combat. I did the Fjord quests just fine using that method. Only my main got on the golem tho.

Ok if your main was in the golem suit only how did the others get credit for the crystals and the cave. Also how did they not get attacked. I tired that and anything not in the suit was instantly targeted so i said umm nvm. Im trying to figure this out cause i have three more sets of 5 to bring thru northrend. Also worst possible quest ever in howling fjord. The northern barbfish where you whack the underwater plants. Think i was there for over an hr doing that on 5 chars cause im trying to find what quests are easy to d for collection and whats annoying to skip on future groups.
