Troll Patrol

Leave a reply

Why don’t people do Troll Patrol the Zul’drak daily? It’s about 50g for 10-15 minutes work, if you have epic flying of course. Okay, so I’m guilty of not doing it too, that’s only because I hadn’t opened up the quest until last night. I’m going to do a run down for you. The quests altogether count as 6 dailies, so only do Troll Patrol if you have 6 daily quest spaces left in the day. If you do, for me it takes about 10 minutes, and overall gives 44g 91s, not including anything that drops from mobs you might have to kill and whatever the Satchel gives you at the end.

You have to complete a task for 4 separate people. I like to use Quest Helper to find them, I head over to Finklestein first, using the mod Visual Finklestein. Then to Captain Brandon, Captain Rupert and Captain Grondel, in whichever order I see fastest at the time. If you don’t use QuestHelper, the 4 quest givers can be found at these points. You’ll notice you’re given a buff with a timer from when you first pick up the quest, keep an eye on this, if you do it in the time you get 19g 5s extra, plus a bag with a random item in and the chance to get Deputy Pa’trolla Badge, or a random grey that can vendor for upto 5g. Okay, so the trinket is a bit lame, but the extra gold is awesome.

The 3 Captains mini quest varies each time you pick it up. Captain Grondel can give you: Couldn’t Care Less, Creature Comforts, or Whatdya Want, a Medal? Captain Rupert can give you: Done to Death, Intestinal Fortitude, or Throwing Down. Captain Brandon can give you: Can You Dig It?, High Standards, or Something For the Pain.

Finally, aside from it being near enough 50g for practically 10 minutes work, if you aren’t already exalted with the Argent Crusade, it’s about 850 Argent Crusade rep. 350 for the initial hand in, and 500 for doing it within the 20 minutes time allowance. So in my opinion, if you have the space to do 6 dailies, and can spare 10-15 minutes, do Troll Patrol.

Getting Stuff Done

Leave a reply

slideyAfter spending several days sorting out this blog, I’m not very technically minded so it took me a little longer than it could have, I finally forced myself to log in and get a group for Direbrew. Past few days I’ve been slacking on my dailies because I’ve had the “you haven’t done Direbrew” looming over my head, so I spent all of my time on The Lazy Sniper instead. A few friends were around so we went. No mounts or even a remote dropped, but a relief to get it done finally.

So getting the one thing that was bothering me done, I tootled off to ZG. Whilst on the zeppelin a warrior whispered me saying I have a nice name, which was admittedly random but also nice to get compliments from strangers occasionally. Did the usual Raptor boss, raptor trash (every single bit of it, still need the Razzashi and Gundrak raptor pets), Tiger boss and Snake boss. Again no mounts but with drops and vendor items alone I earnt 100g for some easy soloable content, not including the 50 rugged leather I picked up from the raptor trash I killed, which I should be able to sell for about 20g a stack. Okay, Tiger boss is tedious with me only being able to interrupt every 2 minutes , Arcane Torrent, and draining 4% of 20k mana every 10 seconds or something does take a while, but if the tiger mount drops, it will be worth it.attackplans

This left me with 2 hours until the dailies reset and God knows how long until the servers went down. Plenty of time to do the Tournament dailies, get my last Champion of Hordecity (Sen’jin), and get NomNom a little bit of experience. I’m looking for rares even more when I’m levelling a pet, gives them a heck of a lot of experience killing one. Anyway, almost finished, killing a few Valkyr at Hrothgar’s Landing for the stolen tallstrider legs, and I get the attack plans to the right drop. I haven’t seen these or heard of them before, but it’s 13g to hand it in, so no more avoiding Valkyr while you’re saving Tuskarr.

The battle for Wintergrasp started when I tried to do my fishing daily (terrorfish) so I joined the battle, killed a gnome with my trusty sporebat Slidey, and somehow we won. Well a free 2 WG marks for me I guess. The only person online in guild at this point asked me if I wanted to DPS Vault 10, well, I wasn’t saved and it reset in a few hours time so of course I went, if anything I grabbed a couple of Emblems of Triumph towards my shoulders. Nothing interesting dropped but it’s always nice to get things done.

My plan now is to do my Brewfest dailies on my priest for the next couple of days (she needs Brewmaster and Merrymaker for the drake.. might as well, it’s a free 310% mount that I get for running past a few barrels and pretending to be a gnome for a bit in AV), do her Tournament dailies to get Fae any pets she doesn’t have yet, do Fae’s fishing, cooking, Tournament dailies, and ZG if that’s reset. Also need to finish off Zul’drak, Howling Fjord and a few quests in Outland which is going to be a little bit of money. Let’s see if I can actually stick to it.

Farming Netherwing Rep

Leave a reply

So, I randomly decided to farm the Netherwing rep I never got around to doing in TBC. It’s 20 achievement points (with the exalted and the Skyshatter race) and a few mounts, as well as something to do. Me being the completionist I am anyway.

Aside from a couple of slip-ups with an irritating ret paladin in the mines, around about half past 3 (GMT) … the time he’d be coming home from school, it’s been going very well. I use my turtle to AoE farm the mines, hoping for Egg drops from the mobs, and skinning them for that silly skinning daily (this is also a very good place to farm the ore for the mining daily), and checking around for egg spawns as I go. Fly around the island checking for eggs, and then around the building on the mainland, checking on the ground, in crates, in buildings, behind drake riders. I find quite a lot of eggs doing this, and for herbalists, the island is a good place to complete the herbalism daily.

I also completed the hidden quests, one drops from the elite on the island, the flayer in the middle. It drops a hand which starts a quest to kill the slightly bigger flayer. Another is a drop in the Slime covered objects which drop from the Oozes in the mines after you hit friendly. The other is from a broken in the mine near the Netherdrake, which asks you to kill a few of the Murkblood in the caves. Along with these, the races are very good extra rep.

As well as these I do the regular dailies. The Booterang quest will always be one of my favourites. “Why it put Booterang on skin WHY?!” Just love to Booterang those orcs and then poison them, aren’t I lovely :P . Anyway, that’s pretty much all, just farm a lot of eggs and it takes no time at all.
