Anyone given up on WOW till WotLK

[Xar]

Just got my epic flying x 5 so starting the Neutral to Friendly Netherwing quests. That's my goal before Wrath comes out, to get draked x 5, do dailies so that I have a good 10-15k in the bank. I haven't tried any LW on beta but did a little tailoring and you'll need new mats from Northrend instead of the high-end LW stuff from BC to skill up, I think it will be cheaper.

Also working on my 60 badge capes... got 1 so far and close on 2 others.

I've never done the netherwing grind on any characters - what would be the easiest way to get exaltedx5 to get 5 netherdrakes? The item collections would suck completely unless you had a ton of gold and just bought netherwing eggs like crazy, but there must be a set number of quests that can be 5 boxed pretty easily. Please share!

I've got drakes now on my lock, my priest and my pally...now going through it on my 5 shaman. Can you tell it's my favorite mount. :P

Unfortunately when you start you really are a peon to them and do the worst jobs, unfriendly skies, that's 50 relics to collect, 150 crystals (from kills) to collect), and the 1 multiboxer friendly poisoning 12 peon camps. You have to only collect 12 fel glands once picking up the quest and if you're crew is near you when you get credit you all get credit.

Eggs and the collection quest items are BoP. Each toon with a gathering profession can do an extra daily there and those turn-ins can be bought from the AH. All my shammies are Enchanting + LW so no luck for me there. I killed so many blobs and flayers and ravagers for crystals that I ended up looting my initial Netherwing Egg on all 5 the first day plus an extra 2. I've also come across 3 out in the open eggs as well so now they are all even again on rep. Once you hit friendly more dailies open up and I'm hoping it's the one to kill flayers and ravagers, I've forgotten if it is. The really friendly mb dailies are:

Poisoning (after collecting 12 Fel glands)
Booterang
Killing the flayers and ravagers
Twilight portal (kill quest)
Aldor/Scryer related daily (pays really well too)

I've forgotten which rep levels those open up and it doesn't matter, I want drakes so I'm doing whatever it takes to get there, lol. When the easier ones open up I might drop the collection ones but I may just do them to power through the rep levels for the drakes then not have to go back again. Once exalted I'll probably still do the high paying kill quests. I do the QD Atal'mal armaments every day because it pays well even though it's a collection quest so I'll be out that way anyway.
