Any other boxers going for Nether Drake

[emps]

I have been doing ALL the netherwing quests (yes, including collection quests).. So many to kill so I can collect for all five but the chance of egg drops increases as well. It's not so bad when you get used to it. I spend about 2.5 hrs a night to get netherwing done, including crystal farming. I usually overfarm crystals in case i get lazy the next day then I don't have to collect 50 million of them. I also get about 10G in gray items per toon (x5) after clearing the mines quest. Also, if keep a few glands extra on another toon in case the peons bug, only if you're doing this quest.

Xar - we'll get your mount tonight... ALLAKHAMOUNT!!!!

peons bug,

This and those stupid elites that walk around. Those elites are way too over powered. I had a tough time killing one, i dropped 4 earth elementals and dps the hell out the guy and when the battle was over there was only 1 elemental left. Why did they make this guy so strong.

So my new count on days if i only do the dailies is 13 days (not counting today). Currently at honored right now (1/3 in). This is not counting the one time quests that i will get at revered, which i am thinking might that off 1 day. This is also not counting the defending the scryers and aldor base, reason is that pally is aldor and shams are scryers so they will attack pally if i do scryers. I'm trying to keep everyone at the same rep doing this is a pain too cause i only did the first 2 in the follow the leader flying thing. I know that i can probably do the third, but after doing the first 2 back to back 5 times i got sick of it.

The 30 crystals isn't that bad. I found a good grinding place for them, the funny thing is when someone tries to come into my grinding spot, i switch from killing and looting to just killing back to back, that pisses the other guy off and he leaves. It takes about 2 hours to get 30 crystals for each toon and probably get about 3/4 eggs during this time. The hard one is collecting the crates in the mine. There are not that many of them around, and during peak times it is a pain in the ass.

I won't - the mounts are too large and annoying when single players sit on top or near vendors and such. I won't be someone who annoys others like that.

I've had 5 netherdrakes for prob about 8 or 9 months now.

Just don't do the collection quests, and rotate teh eggs you find through your characters. Not that bad of a grind tbh.

I just followed Suvega's guide to dailies to make money, not really caring about the mount itself but before I knew it I was exalted with Netherwing, SSO, Skyguard and Ogrila. :P

Edit: I hit exalted with CE last night and am thinking about going Engineering, Skyguard, CE, Netherwing and Gryphon mount across the 5 guys. 8)

grats... CE is my next step.. only like 1k away from revered with the team. The thing is that i don't know what i want to do with this grind. Do i just grind before wotlk comes out or do i wait until after release then i can probably grind to lvl 71/72 to get my mounts. This is good cause it will get the noobs out of the starting area and make questing easier for me... Well i by the time i get my netherwing up it will be like 2 weeks before release anyways.

I think the order that i like the flyers are the phoenix (which i will hopefully be able to grind at lvl 80 with help from other people), CE, Nether drake, nether ray, and then basic. I have some money saved so i will probably be buying the extra mounts (to get the mount when you have 50) and just have a macro to just use a random mount.

are you 100% sure though you are going to stick with the shammys in WOTLK? I flip flop a lot between rolling 5 new DKs or sticking with shamans. Eventually I want both, but what do I focus on first...

I just don't see there being enough time in the day to focus on more than one team for at least 6 months, after all every moment in game will have something to do.

I know what you mean... i really want to bring a druid into my team and maybe a death knight. I love having all the mounts the same, and if i bring a druid in and death knight, i will probably will not do the grind for the nether ray, nether drake, and CE mount. So those 2 will be the odd balls, but i like the look of the druid epic form so that just leaves the death knight.... who know maybe they have a cool racial that i will like more.

I will most likely bring in a druid when i hit about lvl 75, 1 reason is that the boom skills are crazy with the sham totems and then i can do the epic mount quest every day until i have the special mount that drops from that guy instead of looking for a druid everyday to do it. Plus death knights are looking better and better everyday. Also say 75 cause by that time my pally can easily clear all old world instance (she can do that now but schol and strat will be cake walk even more), and be able to do most of the BC instance. Probably grind till around 65 then just rest them or see what happens (like i said going to be like 2 months before i even really think about this).

The question is, what accounts do i put these toons on... lol, by the time i get to 75 (probably 1 month) i will have a better understanding what to do.

But i really want to do end game stuff and don't want to jump around with too many things, want to get my guys to 80, pick one of them and focus on that guy and on down time gear the others.... thinking it will be best to focus on a tank (druid, pally, knight) this way on down time i can solo heroics without a problem cause i have a well geared tank. (It's like taking a sunwell geared pally to a heroic. You really don't have to worry about losing agro to a group of sham in half epics). Other good thing about tanks is that everyone always needs them, but might go either pally or druid cause when they do dual spec i can switch to healing, which is the second most wanted.
