Any other boxers going for Nether Drake

[Drizzit]

So i finally got my 5 x epic fliers (going to take a ss this weekend and post it later). I also have my nether ray fliers (well sort of all i need is money to buy them then i can use them, will get that money today doing dailies). I really really want the nether drake flier, so i started the quest line yesterday. It wasn't that bad to get to neutral, the only hard part was the elite guy that you have to kill for the last part of the quest. He was easy to kill but it isn't a share quest (like an escort quest) so i had to click on him for all my guys, the down side to this is that as soon as you start the quest the guy spawns, by the time my 4 other toons clicked on him and got the quest my pally already agroed. Instead of doing some dps with my pally to gain agro, i started shooting bolts. Here is the bad part, you cannot taunt him, so once you lose agro you almost cannot get it back. Got him down to about 10% and wiped. Pop back up and took the guys into a building (to get away from the archers), started the quest with my pally and got him into the building, this time the pally had time to get agro... took him down in 1 min or less.

Anyways, after this i started the daily quest to get the mount. And guess what 2 out of the 3 dailies are collection quests. One of the collection quests is just a pain in the ass cause you have to find a flier land on a rock and by that time hopefully he is not out of range. Here is the down fall to this quest, you need to collect 10 of these things which are at a rate of 1/3 (not that bad), but this is the shitty part (when i want to dismount i just mount again and that dismounts me. but it doesn't work when i am in there cause i am technically not using my flying mount. by the time i get my guys close enough to the ground to dismount using there lighting bolts the mob is out of range). These guys are a pain and after about 30 minutes and only getting 4 things i called it quites. The other collection quest was a pain in the ass too. The drop rate on those are about 1/10. The good thing is that sometimes it drops 2 at a time, but you also need to get 30. I found a nice place to farm these, where there isn't any down time, but doing it last night on 5 guys took me 2 hours. The last daily isn't that bad, it is sort of collection (kill mobs to use the item against other mobs), you need 15 glands, but only 1 toon needs to have the 15 glads, so when you poison with the glads everyone gets credit. the worse part is that these quest only give 250 rep... only at 750/3000 rep now. At least at friendly i get some nicer quests that give 350 rep. But only getting 500 rep a day it is going to take me 4 days just to get to friendly. Just pissed that they made this epic flier so hard to get and the nether ray a joke to get. With the nether ray you could at least kill mobs that give rep.

So just wanted to know if any other boxer tried to get nether drake.

[Bravo]

I didn't do this because of the collection quests and it looks like they are giving out drakes left and right in the xpac so I'll try for one there

I have several issues with the netherdrake thing.
once you are friendly with that faction you can never kill another netherdrake. My shaman that is doing leatherworking needs huge amounts of dragonscales and now I can't farm them.
Second, I got my pally up to 70 and so I thought I would catch him up with my shaman and guess what... you can't help him kill anything on the quest chain, so it's essentially impossible to help my pally catch up. All I can do is have 4 healers stand there and heal him while he fights these things.

What you have to do is in your rep under them switch it to "at war" and then you should be able to kill him... they also say that this rep is the only rep that you can kill them and not lose rep.

dragons are cool like that

i've been doing netherdrakes, and i'm about 1/3 past revered atm
there's about one group friendly daily that opens up per rep level
really you should be able to get exalted in two months or less

- poison peons
- killing nethermine flayers
- booterang
- disrupt twilight portal
- greatest trap ever

You can still get your scales, just skin the drakes in Blades Edge Mountains. Those drakes have a decent drop rate for the scales while skinning.

I'd go for the drake. Yes the first couple of quests are a pain but once you get a little rep you open up more dailies. Many of them are fantastic for money. There are kill quests in the mines, the booterang (which all get credit for, and with a good macro you don't worry about a CD on the booterang). If any of your alts do professions you can get herbs/skin/ore for those dailies.

I do recommend skipping the the drop quest for the tokens that drop off the flyers. Those have such a bad drop rate and x5 would be terrible. On the other hand, you only need to gather 12 pieces of fel meat from the mainland, since all your toons get credit if they are close together while you poison the camps. Between Kill quests, profession quests, the booterang and the poison quests you should make out like a bandit $$$ ^^

kill this guy, he will drop a non-daily quest which is worth 250 reputation (everything counts right? with friendly you have access to the mines, with those quests the grind becomes relatively comfortable)

for your netherwing relics just camp at that wooden runway round about here, departing transporters spawn shortly after their predecessor despawns or gets killed. you may just have to wait a bit for the first one.


there is another non-daily-dropquest, but afair you have to get to friendly first. and it would be a pain to farm as a multiboxer, i guess.

you could also fly around and search for netherwing eggs. try hilltops, the walls of dragonmaw fortress etc.

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.

If you do the collection quests to start it only takes a few days of pain to get to friendly then some of the other ones open, you can scale back and just do the easy ones and you'll eventually hit honored for even more to open up. I've been on hold at friendly because of brewfest activities.

They may be handing out drakes in Wrath but I want my black drakes so they all match not to mention an extra mount for the 50 mount acheivment, lol.

honestly i like netherdrakes more than the regular drakes
