Sounds awesome! Thanks for posting it here, can't go to "Gaming" sites at work. >:O Lame!

Sweet!

I'm so getting that dragon mount. Woot!!

I'f like to see an instance for easy Consortium rep. And as far as the Drake goes, I guess it will be time to grind even more rep when it comes out. Don't get too excited, though. You'll still have to pay the 5,000 gold for the Epic riding lessons, you can be sure! So will Druids who want the Epic flight form.

Yeah, but I'm only out 200g for banking the epic gryph. It will probably a chain line of quests as well, with some items and gold along the way. I'm dying for some new quests and content.

Speaking of that, which zone did you prefer to quest in... Netherstorm or Shadowmoon Valley? I think I liked Shadowmoon better (although I pretty much finished both zones).

Well, I'm pretty much done with all of the soloable quest in both zones but I have a few group quests left in both. I just finished that quest that gets me to neutral with the drakes. I don't know, I kind of like Netherstorm because I can farm marks, motes, herbs and ore all in the same zone. I've had some good luck with random blue drops like bringer of death there as well. It's hard to choose because the quests in SMV were pretty good and I'm still using that second sight helm.

I tell you what though, I'm so sick of Shadow Labs! Finally got exalted there last night for my epic mace. I healed all the way to Murmur and then we lost one of the two warriors cause he had to log and I was able to pull in a guild Pally in and go back shadow. I did a really good job healing that for a shadow priest, but I was worried about my mana running low on Murmur. It worked out perfectly though.

I just dropped mining for tailoring this week and I'm working on the shadoweave boots atm so I've been farming the crap out mats in Terokkar and Nagrand.

Edit: Where's the best spot to farm motes of water? Right now I'm farming them below Halaa in Nagrand.

Netherstorm, hands down, for me. I found the quests very easy to solo on my 70 shadow priest (mostly) for mount money.

Also camped Nagrand ogres til I got a Talbuk mount. I never want to see another ogre again.

Tarot, what's your SP name and server? I wanted to check out your build in the Armory. Mine is Kateki on Azuremyst. Jateki is my son's pally on the same server but he hasn't been playing cause him and his wife just had a baby, plus he works and goes to school at night.

Any of the elementals in Nagrand provide motes of water, so find one lake that isn't camped, use a cherry, and farm away.

Of the drakes, are they still doing the two versions of it? Regular and Armored?

Last I heard the armored one was the full-tilt, speed, bad ass, and was only going to be able to be earned through PvP.

I was afraid you were going to say that. That's exactly what I've been doing. I need 120 for the boots and then 160 for the chest and I have about 56 so far. The drop rate has been like 30% or worse. Damn, that's a lot of elementals.

That Elemental Plateau is mote of fire heaven.

Uhh, go west and you'll find the water elementals at elemental plateau. Also can fish motes from the pure water things.

The ones by the Altar of Elements (or whatever it is called) have a really excellent drop rate, they die much quicker than the ones on the Plateau, and they are rarely camped on my server. However, I prefer the ones on the Plateau because they can drop a rare enchant (Cat's Swiftness, I believe). All things being equal, however, I'd kill the ones below before the level 70 ones on top of the waterfall.

There will be an armored version somewhere in the line of progression. Drysc posted that when anything was added / upgraded with PVP rewards, PVE rewards would be added to mirror the PVP ones.

Skettis has a pretty good drop rate too as long as you stay in the water so you aren't fighting cats and birds and giants all the time.

Yep, I farm about 4 primal water an hour or so on average out of Skettis (the lakes high above the Allerian Stronghold in Terrokar), just did 12 the other day and have to do 16 more soonish.

You owe me 2!

Oh man guys, thanks so much for that tip. I can farm the silks and motes in the same zone now. Thottbot has the drop rate at about 40% for skettis which is way better than what I'm getting out of Nagrand. A rogue in my guild told me that the drop rate for motes of fire is even better in Blasted Mountains but I haven't checked it out yet.

My tailoring is at 371 now so I need to get to 374 before saturday when my cooldown is ready to make the last two shadowcloth I need for the boots and making those will max me. Anyone WTB Imbued Netherweave Tunics or Robes?

Get a guildy to DE them.

I've been able to sell most of them in the AH, but that's another great idea. Heh, I probably need the shards for enchants anyway and even if I didn't I'm sure they're easier to sell.

Thanks Neesha.

I just recently hit 375 and am working on the Frozen Shadoweave Tunic, so nice being a shadow priest that can tailor their own uber items. =P

Shadow Priests have no business being in raids!!!@#

The tradeskills are awesome in WOW. I really don't know when or if these will ever be upgraded, maybe the new tier 6 stuff is better. Last night was a great night for me, I ran a heroic SP to get some badges and finish off my serpentshrine cavern attunement and I was able to pick up a primal nether. Here's the big question, spellstrike or battlecast?

I'm leaning towards battlecast because of the increased mana pool and hitpoints, plus it's easier to get the materials (Imbued Netherweave instead or Spellcloth). Battlecast would be less dps than spellstrike but I'm not hurting too much for dps now. I’m normally at like 920 or so during raids with the good spirit buff, wizard oil and adept's.

I don't know, what do you think man?

I'm going Battlecast, mostly because it matches the Shadoweave stuff, and I much prefer the extra Stamina on it.

The crafting isn't bad, it's the economy that's fucked because of it. Mats cost more then you can sell items for.

Most mats are easy enough to farm (primals, etc) if you take the time to do it. Spend 30 gold on a Primal Fire or go farm for 20 mins?

So how long until we need to farm out 5+ primal fire per attempt per player for Prince Kael'thas?

This is an EXCELLENT tip!!! Thanks so much man. I was getting close to a 50% drop rate. I've got the materials done for the boots and I'm just waiting on my shadowcloth cool down, which is Saturday and I've already got two primal waters for the vest. There's a level 72 elite elemental that dropped 4 motes, but I'm one kill and 2 losses against him. The elite does decent damage and has 30k in HP so it's a pretty hard mob for me to solo right now.

Yep. I check the AH and buy the motes that are a good deal and farm the rest. One Primal Fire or Water runs from 20 to 25 gold on Azuremyst but there's many times I find the motes for around 1.5g or less. I do the same thing with the arcane dust and netherweave, buy some and farm some.

One thing that sucks hard about buying that epic flying mount is that I went from well off, to poor as hell. But power leveling tailoring and enchanting obviously doesn’t help the situation. Then again, in a month or so I should be back to having a couple of thousand gold in the bank and some really nice gear.

Thanks again for the great tips.
