Netherwing Mines Loot Gear

I don't really take time to do my dailies as much anymore dedicately. I still do over half of them still though. I really don't need the gold as much but though I'll still take it. When I was leveling 65-70 I used to wonder where you find all that green gear on AH because I just could never find much except on quest reward or having to buy it on AH allot. So over time doing dailies running thru Netherwing Mines I've noticed that place is full of level 66-70 green gear and I've gotten a lot of good green plate too. I sell it all on AH. I usually consecrate the side of the mines with the Ravagers and the Flayers from end to end clean collecting crystals fr dailies and usually leave there with 4-5 pieces of green gear. Today I had a Blue Furies Card drop surprised me a bit but then again its all lvl 70 mobs for random drops. So I decided to put up pics of Mob Info and all the green gear I've gotten off of them. So gear I've gotten multiple times for green drops. Thats from the addon Mob Info.

Netherwing Exalted! - Exalted in Screenshoots

Time 6 Days total (That's 6 Real Life Days not WoW days) from Neutral to Exalted. Lots and lots of Egg Hunting and maxed at 16 eggs in one day. That's a damn lot of Eggs Hunting. You have to search EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! Made back over 2500g in that time since first Epic Mount and collected over 10 primal mana from picking pollens all the time for motes on Netherwing Quests. Got Exalted with Netherwing faction after turning completing 2 daily quests and then turning in more eggs from the Egg Hunt for more reps today after only needing about 800 more reps. I worked my ass off collecting Eggs. Now Highlord Dragonmaw Galoheart. I guess that's the only title I've ever earned in all of WoW. At Exalted get to meet and I totally survived Illidan Stormrage. Can you believe it!
Rescued from Illidan Stormrage wrath and a Epic Dragonflight to Shattrath.


Quest Complete. You get to pick your own companion Netherwing Drake.

Epic Reins. Its not T4 from Karazhan as I have yet to go there. But its my Epic with my own effort and time. I put my ass into getting the job done and that's better than sitting around and complaining just why you can't put the effort in yourself to get one if you want or can't afford 300 riding skills necessaryto get there. Its all up to you and your efforts.
A Tank and his new Mount. A Main Tank should have first class transportation. Well for me thats the way I roll.
This one screenshot is thanks to HolyWarrior a reader here, I kept my word. So I went and sat on the Flight Master at Shattrath. LOL. Was funny to watch people try to click on the Flight Master while I sat on him. Was FUN! Thanks for the tip HolyWarrior.
First Flight of my new Epic Onyx Netherwing Drake. It may not be faster than my other Epic Windrider Mount at 280% speed. But its a unique Mount and it stands out among the crowd. I went for a unique color. Almost everyone I see has some shade of a blue mount.
Zoom Zoom Zoom. Taking my new ride for a spin around the block. Mission Accepted, Mission Accomplished!

Sky Wrecked on Netherwing Ledge - Netherwing Revered

Well you probably wonder where I've been. Fear not I'm alive and well on my current goal of getting my Epic Netherwing Flying Mount. I just like to focus on things and get it done. So I've now attained the Rank of Commander and also Revered with the Netherwing Faction.

Pretty much have being living out in Shadowmoon Valley more so out on Netherwing Ledge for the most part since last Saturday. I barely see Shattrath City much. Running around doing the daily Netherwing Faction quests and back and forth to Shadowmoon Valley. So far I've managed to get all the daily quests done just about all 10 on most days. Did take a while to get the routine down a bit though and getting from Neutral to Revered in that time. As you gain faction rep levels with the Netherwing more and more daily quests open up to the point you can just about do Netherwing daily quests all day long as well as the other quests that become available.

I've also managed win 2 of the Skyguard races so far which are one time races I think they are for a total of 7 I think it is. First couple of times I didn't quite get the race and got knocked off my mount at high altitude and fell to my death into the void... OUCH! So far challenged and won 2 of them woot. They give about 500 reps each when won. Most of the Netherwing quests are fun in some way, yet after some time it can seem like a grind also on some the quests. Some quests are more fun than others. Running through the mines can be fun AoEing everything, though you can get tired of seeing the mines also after been in there allot. Lots of the quests are kill or collection quest for X or whack and poison the Dragonmaw Peons which is more fun. Most quests give about 25o reps each.

The other thing is hunting for Netherwing Eggs (reps) which are BoP, which can seem like fun to try and hunt down and find or can get you frustrated if you don't know where to look or how to find. Netherwing eggs seem to be randomly (rare) drops from the mobs on the ledge your kill, found when picking pollen herbs or mining (depends on trade skill for quest). Rest seem to be hidden among and between the crystal formations on the Ledge and on the floating islands. Quite a few can be found in the Dragonmaw camp in Shadowmoon Valley where one egg can at least be found IF SPAWNED in the tower behind each Dragonmaw Rider (4 Total), inside the Netherwing Whelp pen, inside a open building with the caster. Next to a wagon on the ground. Behind one Netherwing Drake on the round by a camp with a Orc. Two can be found inside the big building behind the imprisoned Elite Netherdrake. The rest you can find IF YOUR LUCKY on the floating islands and around the islands.

You have to be CONSTANTLY LOOKING ALL the TIME to find those things as they can spawn at any time. They give 250 reps each Egg. That can be fun, although time consuming and frustrating if you not know where to look. Yesterday I collected about 14 eggs most I ever found and remember exactly where I found them also. But then again, I was picking every herb and looking behind every crystal and constantly hunting for eggs all the time in between quests.

You can average over 150-200g a day doing the Netherwing quests. After getting my Epic Mount a few days ago I'm already back over 2000g already. But then again, I'm not spending much money on anything these days on repairs since I'm not running any Instance or Heroics or anything at this point. I get lots of /w everyday to run instances or Heroics, but most I decline. When I run through the mines I grind everthing in site (never know a eggs can drop) and I always leave with a full back of green drops, eggs and gray stuff worth lots of gold. So money is flowing easily as well as AH all the stuff that I pick up all the time. I'm even making more money than my Alts with their AH stuff so that's telling how fast the money rolls in. For now its the long haul to Exalted at which point you should be able to so some short quests to get my Netherdrake Mount. I can feel I'm real close to getting it soon.

Screenshots - Cleaning up Netherwing Mines

Netherwing Quests are fun, worth lots of gold too. Sometimes it can feel like a grind. Dust off that Petrified Lichen Guard with that Thorium Shield Spike on it = Big Win pulling everything in sight. I just love to run thru the mines and clean up the whole place Tankadin style. You always leave with a full bag of stuff. Netherwing Eggs, Green drops and junk worth lots of gold.

Screenshots - Riding Karynaku/Netherwing Quest

If this Netherdrake was a mount it would be awesome and VERY BIG! Freed Karynaku from Dragonmaw Fortress in Shadowmoon Valley to complete the Netherwing quest in a group quest. You then get to ride on her back to the Netherwing Fields to see Mordenai where the quest originally started. I picked up the Netherwing Defender Shield. In retrospect I probably should have picked up the other shield the Netherwing Protectors Shield for more mitigation. Now Neutral with the Netherwing Faction.
