I was rather skeptical of going for rep with this fraction. Considering you had to be 300 riding before being able to do the rep grinding quests, and thats alot of gold to grind. Then you spend 200 g after the quest is done to get your mount. But a few days ago a friend from Cenarion Circle Raid Syndicate ask for some help on part of the chain that would get you to neutral with Netherwing. Having already done Kindness (from Mordenai in the Netherwing fields) and worked all the way up to To Netherwing Ledge!. I just needed some help collected vines. Unfortunately this quest got a little rougher with the last patch as the roaming dragonkin are now elites (and perhaps too tough for 2 people alone. However it appears that The Force of the Neltharaku has been made easier as the dragons no longer storm out of the camp but fly away once you’re out of combat. Gold as always is a great incentive, and a new caster off hand is always nice.

After finishing this chain you can now do the quests to help free the Netherwing Dragons from their captures the Dragonmaw Orcs as a sabatour.

You start out looking like a butt ugly orc (no not orb of deception mc hammer dancing orc) with three daily quests. With one quest to get a dragon egg, at first you get 350 rep and 11.99 gold. After which it becomes a repeatable quest at 250 rep per turn in. Yesterday I got 10 eggs. Eggs can be found any where, mining, herb collecting, killing things to loot, slime covered items, and on the ground in plain view.

Leveling reputation is not hard, and the gold is rather nice. So far at honored I have 7 daily quests netting me easily over 100 gold. That’s not considering the fire, earth, mana, air, and life motes from the collecting and peon killing missions. For the peon killing quest I have been farming the ray’s behind Dragonmaw fortress. They drop mana motes as well(close to 2 primals); the air elementals that share that area give me atleast one primal air for every 12 fel glands I collect (and so far enough vendor loot for 8 – 15 g). I must warn you though the respawn is a little faster then most places so you want to be on your toes. Not a lot of places to recover health and mana. Fire and earth come from the gathering quests.

I did not realize at first that with the bootarang quest that you could do this from the safety of your flying mount.

Eggs can be found any where, mining, herb collecting, killing things to loot, slime covered items, and on the ground in plain view. Perhaps even with skinning.

At this point I think I am at most 10 days away from getting a new mount.

I recommend you go with lots of bag space for all of the vendor loot you will get alont the way. Over all I would say 16 – 30 g alone on crap drops.

For some reason the Cenerion Circle server was down til 2:30 pm, so I did not get on til later in the day. In the progress of doing the daily quests for the Skyguard I find that broken guy; you know the one that can’t seem to stay out of the hands of the Dark Crystal bird. Come to find he had rescue reward nerfed. Before it was a choice of either 3 high grade healing potions or 2 high grade mana potions, it was changed to 2 second rate healing potions or 2 second rate mana potions.

Granted this was not like a major change, but it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After all the effort of going from one of three spots to find the npc you have other issues such as dealing with assholes that don’t invite and just take the quest even though you may have waited there 10 minutes for it to spawn. Which happen to me on Saturday, I wish I remember the guy and his guilds name. After all another of his guildies stole the npc from a pally in Fruit of Elune who helped me to find the npc.

Then there is the issue I had on Monday, which was the npc bugging out. Where he decided to attack what was directly under us, keep in mind this is on the first tree from which he spawned. For some reason my void walker Jhaz dediced to follow along (not sure what aggro him) It quickly turned into a disaster when he died and I had 8 mobs on top of me.

Either way in the amount of time I spend in getting these extra mana pots I could easily have farmed the mats to make them, and I have decided to skip this quest unless they fix the bugs and restore the quest rewards. You would think that Blizzard would atleast make it to where he spawned at all three points at the same time to alleviate issues with butt heads.

Before

After

The nice thing about patch 2.1 is daily quests. Though it boggles the mind how some people already have flying mounts from Sha’tari Skyguard. Then again I though it was nuts for people to already have dragon mounts in less of week the patch being out. I figure it will be months before I even try for a dragon mount.

So far I can do 2 of them for which is about 11.99 gold each, and since I have 4 level 70 characters that’s 95.92 easy gold a day (119.90 once Meriones hit 70). I am not exactly sure when the reset time is on these as I was not able to do them at 1 am server time, but I was able to do them again at 9 am server time. I know of three other daily quests but I have to do 3 5 man quests before I can do the quests for Ogril’la. The nice thing I have found about this quest is it’s a drop so I don’t actually have to participate much like the key quest for Scholomance, you only had to wait for someone to kill Araj.

Doing Fires Over Skettis in my opinion the best place to bomb eggs is the south east corner in the top of the threes stumps. It does not seem a lot of people go that far to bomb the eggs and there are more in this area then the others. I circled in light blue on the map.

As for Escape From Skettis, its my recommendation that you become a friendly person. If you can team up with people in the area you can find out which spot has the Skyguard Prisoner. The three spots he can be found at are 68.74, 60.75, and 75.86. The spawn points are random. I have seen the guard respawn at the last spot he was at before. Waiting for him works but its a matter of luck at times. At this point I am not exactly in need of mana potions, especially when I am getting 8 a day

For Hungry Nether Rays (not a daily quest, but I wish it was), I recommend the southern part of the map as it seems the Warp Chasers are plentiful in this area. There are not a lot of warp chasers to the North and it takes for ever even if no one else is doing the quest.

I show Axyl these quests and he seems to think its time to lay an egg o.O.
