On the quest for the Epic Mount

Stetal had begun the Netherdrake epic mount quests and that got me fired up to get started as well. I want to thank Stetal again for helping me out last night. We are both up the group quest against Zuluhed the Whacked. I've read a lot of interesting tactics to beat him. Some have done it with 2-man groups and others with 4-man groups. What I get from it all is that it can be done with some planning. Below are the list of quests to get started which were posted on www.wowhead.com. I added some comments from what I experienced and the tips Stetal had given me for the quests.

If anyone is interested in doing these quests or just want to get a good pounding in on Zuluhed, please let me or Stetal know. We can pick a day to do it. After that it's a lot of saving for the the epic riding lessons. If people were interested, we could help each other get to neutral. It seems two weeks is the time frame for completing the entire quest line if you keep at it. Once I have the gold for the epic riding lessons, I will put this to the test and post my results.

How to get Neutral with Netherdrake (Netherdrake Epic Mount Quest Starter)
A list by Greengoo

1. Kindness-Pick this quest up from Mordenai. He wanders the Netherwing fields near the Sanctum of the Stars but not hard to find. He's usually fighting the Rocknails.
- Kill 8 Rocknail Flayers, Use Carcasses to Feed 8 Dragons (don't move!). Try to target the Rocknail Flayers. They drop full carcasses as the smaller rocknails drop giblets. You need 5 giblets to make one carcass.

2. Seek Out Neltharaku
- Fly on your mount and find Neltharaku, he patrols slowly around Dragonmaw about a few hundred feet up. You'll have to be a few yards UNDER him to talk to him. I rotated my camera up in order to select him.

3. Neltharaku's Tale
- Listen to story.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10814

4. Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress
- Kill 15 of any type of orcs in the fortress.

5.To Netherwing Ledge!
- Find 12 Crystals from the floating island SE of the mainland. Miners will get indicators marking the crystals. Watch for the lvl70+ elites walking around and the flying mobs above the island.

6. The Force of Neltharaku
- Free 5 Dragons by using the crystal item from Neltharaku on them, then killing the orcs they aggro.

7. Karynaku
- Find Karynaku, she's the second story of the fortress.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10858

8. Zuluhed the Whacked
- Kill Zuluhed and recover the key. (note from Greengoo: I recommend pulling him inside so as to avoid the archers, and kill him BEFORE he summons his adds. Use the key he drops to free Karynaku.)

9. Ally of the Netherwing
- Return to Mordenai, you will immediately gain 42,000 rep and become neutral.

Shwick and Azlinn missing in action

Heya guys - Azlinn and myself, Shwicky, are going to take a few more days off Warcraft for some fierce LAN gaming showdowns we havent been able to get to all year. We have, however, finished with the boys room and the girls room, and have done the demo for the bathroom renovation. I still need finish the GINORMOUS planters out front but it is over 105 degrees almost all day now outside so putting that off. Will see everyone again in a few days or so. Kick some alli butt for us !!

Woot!!

Well it took a lot of pvp but Kyllen is finally riding in style! :) I have to say while I enjoy a little bit of pvp I was getting a bit tired of it by the end. Plus, one match we had 13 (yes 13!!) people afk...it's very frustrating to be out there working your butt off while so many people earn free honor. Bizz needs to come up with a way that they auto DC if they haven't done anything after a few mins, it's insane! BTW, donations are now being taken for the Kyllen is broke fund...lol
