Anyone done the Netherwing/Skyguard faction grinds post-3.0?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Just curious if there were any changes/adjustments after 3.0 went live. I just started 'em yesterday. I seem to recall one of the real problems with ranking up Netherwing as a multiboxer was the horrid spawn rates of the flayers for the 30 crystals. If so, that's no longer the case as you can kill as fast as you can loot, jump off the ledge up top by the matriarch and start up the path again and just about all of 'em will be respawned. Quite nice, if I do say so myself. That, and at 80, you can just stand on the pier and insta-gank the Dragonmaw Transports without even aggroing the two Ascendants there (not like killing the Ascendants is a problem at 80, anyway).

Any suggestions on making Netherwing go a bit faster? I'll do some more poking around for info but I've not seen anything different than Svpernova noted here ('http://dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=118388#post118388') .

I haven't done the full grind, but the notable change to Netherwing, is the Drop quests The Not-So-Friendly Skies... ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:The_Not-So-Friendly_Skies...') and A Slow Death ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:A_Slow_Death') is 100% drop rate now for the quest items. I don't know if everyone in the group gets one or not, but this is a huge advantage since The Not-So-Friendly Skies used to be ~15-20% drop rate.

I hit exalted with my team post 3.0, but I wasn't in any rush.

I did all of the dailies available until I hit friendy, or honored, or whichever opened up a few of the better dailies. Once I did that, I stopped doing the collection quests in favor of just doing the ones that could be done more easily as a group. This included the booterang, the poisoning, the nagrand killing, the flayer killing. One noteworthy thing is the eggs seem to be a lot easier to come by now, so I was able to find all five eggs somedays just in doing my regular questing.

If you're in a hurry, you can get it all done pretty fast, but I just can't stand collection quest dailies. The crystals, transport killing and mine cart quests were the ones I generally skipped, or gathered casually while I was doing the flayer quest and turning in only once all five were done.

Have fun!

If you do all the dailies, it will take 21 days iirc. I ground through this on both my TBC raiding toons SOLO BOX, PRE-NERF.

I have been looking forward to the day when I could return to these with my team and destroy that island. Unfortunately, I am at a standstill on the pre-req's. To the best of my knowledge, I completed all the chains leading up to the dailies, but they do not appear... One of these days, I could really use the extra mounts on my way to 100 :)
