I hate BC grinds but... :)

Unread post by Bodhran »

Just this morning I finished the second of two hated BC grinds! Got exalted with the Skyguard while turning in dust for more potions. This grind was much worse IMnotsoHO then the neither drakes. Egg hunting was easy and this one was pure old school grind that I hate even though it was combined with dailies.

meh w/e I'm done with that and am soooo happy! I only needed three of the mounts for the 100 mounts.

I still want to get many dungeon achievement mounts like ICC and such but other then ICC I have them on my ally toons and with MoP Orden will get them along with everyone else.

Now to get the last 13/14 mini pets. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Grats!

I'm currently doing netherwing and I'm honored.

And running stratholme, probably done it like 40 times now, while my friend who heard about me doing it was like "oh I want to do that too, can you summon me?"

He got it on his fifth run and now he's rubbing my face in it. >:(

Speaking of AOE looting, this is going to be every hunter's favorite macro once 5.0 goes live:

I see Sword of Truth names.

More on topic, grats! I agree, Skyguard is evil. Nothing but running/flying in circles killing everything in sight, with the occasional boss summon or daily.

Am I the only one that wasn't bothered about the Skyguard grind? xD I did it last week and when I finished all I could think was... Was that it? o.O It seemed so quick, haha.

Congrats!

And I wouldn't know. I've never done the Skyguard grind, but I've unlocked Netherwing on 2-3 characters, it was easy. o.o

late grats on your hawk! Both grinds are very easy now, since they're reps that have been quite forgotten, already grinded, or ignored ;) Irregardless though the netherwing can still be a pain for the fact you cant kill creatures for the rep, its purely egg finds and daily quests. Skyguard is the opposite. I was able to grind my rays in a day n a half cause all you gotta do is slay and loot! I was so afraid of doing the skyguard rep i didnt touch it for years after i did my netherwing o.o but now im like pshhhhaaah~ XD Both are deeeefinitely must-have rep grinds when going for mount acheivments :D

I don't think we can have pandas until MoP release. (;

Also, screw you Blizzard for making an awesome patch on the exact same day as the GW2 release date. Screw you.

oh ._. dammit >.> i musta had in my head the idea that pandas for everyone meant they'd come out with all the other all-for-everyone stuff >_< /sigh ive lost absolutely all interest in WoW right now and i was hoping to roll a panda wednesday so i could happily grind the hell out of pandaria on expansion release day. *goes to wander off back into her corner with skyrim*

I got the Nether Ray mount back in BC days. That was rough. Even today though that grind is annoying. I'v'e done it at least two more times on different servers and I still barely managed to finish them it's so boring and grindy.

Personally i prefered the Netherwing Grind, But now with the account-wide mount feature it may be worth suffering the grind of the Skyguard for a few weeks, As i prefer to do it as dailies instead of the day grind..... But hey i'm weird.
