I was really casual about it. Did the easy quests when I remembered and didn’t stress if I skipped a day or two. (Or three, or four.)
But it turned out to be a really enjoyable little grind. I would not have wished doing it at 70 upon anyone, though. I mean, all those elites running around and everything, yipes.
But yeah, logged on every morning (I’ve been working evenings), did a few quests, and here we are less than a month later.
Shiny!
Congrats on the new ride!
Yay! Gratz!
Yay! Grats!!
grats. also, best blog title evar.
If someone asked me if there was an enjoyable grind in WoW I’d gladly reply: The netherwing grind!
And I’m one of those who egg hunts heavily. ; ) Did it twice already.
Gratz Pike! Also, two blog posts in two days :O could this be a come-back??
Nice! I picked up one of them recently for my DK alt. You’re right, it was an enjoyable little grind…and if hitting orcs with a Bootarang is wrong, I don’t want to be right. 🙂
I’ve never done the netherwing grind but now I feel almost obliged to!
Or. alternatively. Never say nether again . . .
I told Thrall that if Garrosh is going to mine while he’s waiting in queue then I should be able to farm while I’m grinding rep so I don’t see why I should have to stop running dailies because I enjoy farming at a reasonable pace from nine to eleven.
I too think the Netherwing is the best “grind” in the game. I done it at 70 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Took me 3 days – i logged on every few hours and grabbed a couple of eggs from their spawn points (memorised flight pattern) and done the dailies each day. Sometimes working with friends (probably something that doesnt happen at 80 mind you) – it was great fun. I got so addicted to the egg hunt that I helped at least 2 other friends grind by locating the eggs for them :p
I gave up on those long ago because it was indeed such an overfarmed place – but then I realized I prefer the wotlk drakes anyway hehe! Big gratz to you tho! =)
Shiny! I think I am going to pick up the a Nether Ray, but first I need epic flying. Seriously, I have played through BC and Wrath and never picked up epic flying… /shame
