Doing the two in Kamagua chain out to 3 or 4 quests (shoveltusk bits,
chimera horns, slavers, maybe something else) This opens up a quest
to visit a goblin pirate, who sends you to the pirate island SE of
Kamagua. There's easily 10-15 quests down there, 5 of which are
gathering vyrkul antiquities that you take back to shield hill and
turn in, initiating one or two more Kamagua quests.

Only problem with this is I play on a PvP realm. Swapping out to a
pair of white gloves whenever I want to pick herbs would put me in a
bad situation. This is why my fishing gloves are Netherweave gloves,
not totally useless if I need to defend myself and the pool or area I
am trying to fish. Likewise, for herb gloves, I would likely put the
enchant on a pair of frostweave gloves. The stats will be good enough
such that I could defend the herb I am trying to get, rather than
dieing and having the herb taken by someone else.

Would be nice if they included fishing in that. I mean, technically
fishing is a gathering profession.

Atm nope. At least I dont think so. But my mage is level 74 atm, so
only around level 80 players can answer your question.

> up with them when I hit friendly?

Dunno. I haven't visited the fjord since I moved to borean after
completing UK 3-4 days ago. But I think there was a greyed out
exclamation mark at a questgiver in the first town to east in howling
fjord when I left that zone. I will visit the town later tonight
depending on my girlfriend's mood tonight (and she looks tired).

You will hit 450 in herbalism before you even know it. Coldclower and
Tiger Lily will make you there (tiger lily from 400). Herbalism was
maxed out here shortly after my mage hit level 72 in howling fjord.

Levelwise Dragonblight is the logical next step, yes - it's about lvl
72-75. Grizzly Hills is about 74-76 and ZulDrak 75-77, don't bother with
Sholazar until 76 because you won't find any available quests
Personally I dinged 80 in ZulDrak and still had 3 levels left untouched,
so if you do everything along the way you may find yourself a bit
overlevel for quests after a while (which didn't bother me since I'm
levelling holy and perfectly happy to have my targets slightly below my
level for the sake of not having to drink every 3 mobs!)

There's quite a lot of quests down at Kamagua, a chain there sends you
off to a pirate camp nearby which has a bunch of quests, so you'll
probably find that takes you pretty near. Only other thing you may have
missed is 2 quests just south of nifflevar... otherwise everything's in
the camps or connected to chains where you can't miss them.

On the eastern side of the zone, south of the quests at the top of the
lift after you leave Vengeance Landing.

Heh. Get the Outfitter addon and place that +5 herbalism enchant on a
pair of trash white gloves. All my herbalists have a pair of +5 herbalism
white gloves that are put on and taken off automatically. And I can always
sell 'em or pass 'em down later.

More quests become available in Kamagua after you do the first two.
You get sent to a pirate hideout (Scalawag) with at least a dozen more
quests. I did about the same quest hubs as you (except I did
Apothecary's Camp before New Agamand) and got the achievement with
about 3 quests left.

I did the Alliance version of this quest - it seems quite similar.
But I didn't turn it in, so I can run around Howling Fjord as a worg
whenever I like (it works all over the zone).

I found 132 quests, so I still got the 130-quest achievement despite
this and the bugged flying machine quest (don't know if Horde get that
one).
