In the next few days veldock will be trudging through the massive amount of mobs it takes to get (at least) friendly with Steamweedle..

Some of you may have noticed that I did stop right before honoured with Bloodsail.. thats because currently once you hit honoured with Bloodsail the only way to get rep is killing the Fleet Master.. or whatever he's called (at the top of the inn).. after that no one knows.. because no ones tried..

With the npc being a 5 minute respawn time, and at level 70 only giving 5 rep per kill... well you do the math..

So I'll leave it at where it is.. and I might just go for exalted SWC

But honestly have this I've had enough of the goblins and the pirates..

I remember back in the day where things used to be fun grinding rep..

Like Cenarion Circle.with a mage friend.. aoe'ing all the pulls entire camps.. and then trying my hardest to get exalted I ended up somewhere around 1.2k away from exalted and my guild wouldn't run aq20 for 3 weeks.. made me pissed (was working at the time could only show for raids and very little anything else).. considering I had the exalted item turn in..

Recently I got exalted with Ogri'la I hated it for one simple thing.. they 'pigeoned holed' you just doing those 4 daily quests.. so if you really wanted to get exalted or needed and item from it or what have you.. well you were *** out of luck.. because it took that set number of days to reach it no matter how much you wanted it..

With factions like the Skyguard and Netherwing, you could do a little of both grinding and dailies.. now that I like cause the dailies are a good source of rep. for the factions.. then if you really wanted it you could keep going and spent the extra time other people that are not willing too.

There was a lot of firsts that I could have attained on my server.. 70.. epic flying.. first drake.. etc.. but then I'd just be like any other Nihilum .. I don't really care to be first of anything.. infact I stopped doing quests at around 68 and grinded the rest of the way to 70

This worked for 3 reasons.. a) It helped get my first outland exalted faction... Sporeaggar.. (sporegalorgalorg.. lol love these little guys).. b) it got me a lot of money.. and to this date I still have over 100 sporeling snacks for my pet.. and c) well it left me with all the quests from Nagrand, Netherstorm, Shadowmoon Valley, and a few from Blade's Edge, and Terrokkar..

And most of you know doing quests at 70 = lots 'o' money... and so I eaisly got within 600g for my epic mount.. in which I just borrowed from a guildie and payed back after some farming..

For those of you really in need of money.. well yes grinding rep is the best way.. Consort.. Mag'har big grind ones like that where you go around and just kill like a rabid animal.. gives you rep, coin drops, you can do your gathering profs (if you have any), and greens.. if you don't readily have a disenchanter to help you with them just vendor for 3g-12g depending on weapons.. but d/e gives you tons of mats to put on the AH for no deposit.. and you get to keep leftovers for whatever you want to enchant with..

So I came out on top every time I went to farm rep..

And I did that sorta thing to get my epic flying mount with my rogue Nanunshinida (yes thats korean.. its acutally a statement .. na nun shin ida .. . i think my brother helped me with the name.. he went to korea).. I grinded the last 3 levels with 'her' and with the skinning/herb profs. I was able to fun the mount with no help from any of my other characters or anyone else's..

I guess that's it for now.. I ramble a lot.. I figure later I'll type *** up about grinding certain factions.. which might be helpful for some..
