Giddy-up! Kurenai Grind.

So, after a few days of re-starting my account and giving things another shot, I have become exalted with the Kurenai and got my very purdy War Tabulk mount.

I'm happy to report that leveling this faction was actually easy and not too unpleasant because there is a host of quests that can be done without too much of a gigantic mob grind.

You'll want to do the quests at Orebor Harborage in Zangarmarsh to gain friendly status and then off to Nagrand to do all the quests there, that should get you well into honored at the very least if you weren't lazy in Zangarmarsh.

Finish this off by slaughtering Ogres in Laughing Skull ruins for warbeads, i find this area has the better drop rate and on my server you won't find too many people here at any one time, you need to hand in 10 warbeads at a time to Warden Moi'bff Jill (lol).

As a frost Mage doing the ogre grind at level 70 was a piece of cake, minimal downtime and the beads just kept on flowing into my bags, not to mention the bit of coin as well as various greens too.

I am now the proud owner of a Tan War Tabulk, as seen below.

So what is your favourite in-game ground mount and why?

Pre-BC personally i LOVE the rams, i still have my Stormpike Battle Charger which i adored, as for the BC mounts i really like the Hawkstriders, only because they remind me of the Chocobos from the FF games.

    Congrats on hitting exalted! I really enjoyed the rep grind for Kurenai because for the most part you were able to reach a reasonable level just via the quests you do while leveling up. :)

    Wow, congrats.

    My favorite would prolly be the Hawkstriders, because of what you said. The first time I saw them, I was like, "WTF? We get Chocobos?"

    Oh you lucky thing! Congratulations :)

    I tend to not like the Elekks and Kodos as much, i think due to their size you 'feel' as though you're moving pretty slowly! But that's just me.

    Congrats on Exalted, I just finished that grind, I feel your pain! :p

    My personal favorite land mount is the long-forgotton Winterspring Frostsaber (http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=13086), which i will be soon grinding to Exalted for :3 I do feel that its value has lessened a bit, as the rep per turnin has been significantly increased...nevertheless, it is still quite a long and repetitive task. Right after that is the Stormpike Battle Charger, which I too have used since prebc (I only swapped it yesterday for the Darnassus cat).

    Enjoy your shiny new Talbuk! :D

    My gnome reached exalted with Darnassus for a tiger mount there at level 35 :) I think that was quite a funny experience. Basically walked over to Darn with a level 1 gnome, and followed all the NE quest lines, and all the Alliance quest lines. Got exalted at level 35, then got exalted with everything else after that as well. Was fun.

    Personally i use FRAPS to take all my in-game shots and movies, to use the default i think it is just print screen key, i could be wrong though since i haven't used it in a long time.

    do you guys play on PVE or PVP realms?

  • Liliana said 
    Sun, Jul 6 2008 11:01 AM ()

    I play on both. My mage is on Aman'thul PvE and my Druid is on Thaurissan PvP.

    I personally enjoy the Rams, only because the bigger races like Taurens and Draenei look ridiculous on their backs. As far as the others, I love the turtle mounts from the TGC cards. nom nom nom
