My journey from Honored to Revered took about the same length of time as it did to go from Friendly to Honored - about five days days.
The journey from Honored to Revered had me going through the same quests I was tackling going from Friendly to Honored:
- The Not-so-friendly Skies
- Netherdust Pollen
- A Slow Death
- The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt
- Netherwing Crystals
- Picking Up The Pieces…
- Dragons Are The Least Of Our Problems
The new quests had some grinding, and some flying tests which were interesting!
Disrupting the Twilight Portal is one such grinding quest, requiring you to go to the Twilight Ridge in Nagrand and down 20 of the Twilight mobs of any type. I personally found this one needed a lot of careful attacking, feigning death and sacrificing of my pet in order to stay alive. There are a few Patrolling Elites and the Warlocks and Mages are close enough together that they would aggro if I didn’t pull things away and instead set my pet in to do her job first. Remember to bring food, because it’s annoying to have to fly all the way back to Garadar to get it when you’ve forgotten.
One of the toughest quests I did at this time was the one called Subdue the Subduer which came off of a materials-collection quest called The Soul Cannon of Reth’hedron. First off, there was the whole “acquiring the materials” thing… with a Khorium Power Core being a mere one of the components and it alone costing at least 50g in the Auction House, I was glad to have friends to call upon instead. Bribe ‘em with mats and some Greater Eternal Essence for their enchanting needs and I was good to go!
The second challenge was that once I got there to do the Subduing, I found that trying to stay in the air long enough to drain that guy’s soul with the cannon was pretty much impossible - I died a few times not having drained the guy down very much at all before I turned to Thottbot player comments for help and found “the trick”, which had to do with creating a line-of-sight issue for the mob I was draining so he couldn’t hit me. I had to fly out from behind my barrier to re-cast the drain, and then frantically try to find another place to create a LOS issue, but it worked and the guy died and I got to move on.
I finally got the Overseeing And You: Making The Right Choices quest done, and as a reader noted here, it lead to a daily quest that was great and fun, called The Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon.
During this quest, you fly around Netherwing Ledge looking for “Disobedient Dragonmaw Peons” - sleeping ones, and ones that have their names in red and, in general, aren’t working. Much like in the Valley of Trials quest with the club, beating sleeping Orc workers awake, you are there to exact punishment upon the lazy Orcs so they return to work! Discipline twenty Peons a day, and get a payment of 11g99s for completing it!
Flying Quests?
I’ll have to write about the “flight training tests” that started up at this rep level soon, as well, but for now I’ve written enough and will head to the closing paragraph…
New Favorite Daily Quest?
My favorite Daily Quest by far was the Not-So-Friendly Skies, then the Netherdust Pollen quest took it over. Now, that Booterang quest is easily my favorite, although I find that during the morning there’s a lot more competition for it than in the evening, so it was a little bit annoying doing it during my morning Daily runs.
