Netherwing quests

Finally managed to save up 5000g. Signed on yesterday and saw I had
about 4920g. Went out to Ogrila, did the dailies there, along with
that days cooking daily. Then to Skettis where I did the bombing run
but was having terrible luck with the escort. Thats when I saw
someone looking for 1 DPS for reg Mech for that days daily. Figure
mech is a short run and would give me the last of the gold I needed to
reach 5000. Easy run, no wipes, not even 1 death. Turned in the
quest and ended up with 5009g.

Flew out to Shadowmoon and bought my 300 training, then headed out to
do my first Netherwing dailies.

The quest to kill the transporters and take the relics from them
wasn't all that fun. Following the quest text, I landed on one of the
floating islands and picked off the transports as they flew past.
After a while I noticed no new ones were flying past, so I took off
and as I flew towards the dock, I saw a shaman there picking them off
just below the dock. After a while I found a place I could pick them
off as they came from the other direction. Spent probably 10 or 20
minutes on that quest alone.

Next I worked ongathering Dust, since I am an herbalist. Took about
5-10 minutes to pick the 40 dust I needed. Got lots of motes of mana,
and picked a few other herbs I found while flying around. Only
downside is watching for those elites that wander around.

Then I looked at the quest to poison the peons. I had to leave
Netherwing Ledge to go kill mobs on the mainland. I decided to kill
the dimetredons just west of BT Took about 10 minutes to gather the
glands I needed, then back to Netherwing ledge to poison peons. If
not for the travel, this would be the easiest of the dailies I did.

The last one however was just plain miserable. 40 Netherwing
Crystals. Drop rate from the rays seemed pretty good, but I kept
getting stomped by elites. So I decided to go into the mines and farm
there. Took forever as the drop rate seemed much lower. In all I
probably spent 30-45 minutes for that one quest alone.

So after all that I head back to turn in those quests. Turned in the
first 3, but when I got to the last one, the one that took the
longest, I got hit with a bit of a shock. I forgot you could only do
10 dailies per day, and that was my 11th.

So, I'm just saving those and planning to turn them in today. I also
have 35 netherwing dust, so I can quickly gather that up for a quick
2nd turn in. And after doing all that yesterday, I went and completed
the daily BG, so thats a 3rd I can turn in today. Can't wait for 2.4
where we can do more than 10 per day.

The early Netherwing quests are incredibly tedious... Do yourself a
favour and check out the video on wow-tips.blogspot.com which shows
the spawn points of the eggs, get your rep up quick and better quests
open up...

I never even tried this one. Seemed boring from beginning.

Good side of the gathering quests is that you can have virtually a
free turn in the next day sometimes because you have lot more than you
need. My miner/skinner is that way, especially getting the skins from
other peoples kills... One of the few times skinning is worth
something.

You can do that in a group, so if you see someone else, grab their
help. I did it until the better quests appeared and never again.

I turn that in once every three days when I have enough...

You will struggle a lot with this limit until then (how many is it
going up to?)... From the netherwing quests alone, a lot more open up,
most easier than the beginning except perhaps the one which gets you
to go to nagrand...
