Lost In The Grind

Of course anyone who has a level 70 character in WoW is aware of the fact that there are numerous daily quests to complete. I myself have done a lot, but not all, of them since the 2.4 patch. Every single one of them reward you with gold and a lot of them will even give you items, the latest daily quests even give you badges of justice which you can turn in for gear or various other items. As for me, I have only done the quests that give the badges a few times and out of those few times I was given a few badges in total. The quests themselves aren’t difficult to complete, but they require some traveling and time to get done. If I wanted to complete the maximum number of daily quests, which is 25 right now, I could do that, but after a while it get’s really boring. The other option would be to team up with a partner or even a group and knock out these quests together, this at least makes the time spent grinding them out more enjoyable.

To this day, I REFUSE to go find the skettis escort guy and save his ass one more time…that is one daily quest that causes a lot of frustration for players, and those of you who have done it time and time again know what I mean…he spawns in one of three locations…people are standing by these spots all the time, you can create a party, but even if half the party is sitting at another spawn point and person outside your party and fly up and start the quest…it get’s really old…

As far the the new dailys are concerned, I find myself concentrating on all the quests available at the Isle of Quel’Danas. My typical routine is to get to the Isle of Quel’Danas and pick up all the available quests, currently we are in phase 3 on both Eldre’Thalas (currently 80% complete) and Ghostlands (currently 40% complete), usually I start out killing the demons near the portal, impale the banner into the Emmisary of Hate and get the ley lines done for the portal at the same time. Then I will make my way over to the Blood Knights and Marksmen and Summoners and get the next ley line completed. Then I will take out the wretches for the 4 raiments and kill the Arcane machines and turn them into good guys…Next I use the raiments on the blood shard crystal and then ride up to the dragonhawk mount fellow and do the bombing run over the boats and take out the 6 guys there, return and complete the bombing run on the dead scar. The dead scar bombing run was very frustrating to me the first few times I tried to do it, mainly because the whole island was so crowded it was near impossible to get all the kills you needed because everyone else was dropping bombs at the same time. These days I get all the kills I need 9 times out of 10 the first trip. Once that is complete, I run over and turn in the quests I have done so far, then I make my way over to the Nagas and farm them until I get the keys I need to open up the chests and get the ore and also finish my last ley line while I am in the area.

As of right now, these are the quests available to us in the third phase of the daily quests. I am hoping we reach phase 4 this weekend on Eldre’Thalas, also, as of right now both Tabeyus and Drollam are both honored with the Shattered Sun Offensive, there are various recipes and nice items available for reasonable prices as your rep gets higher.

As far as all the other daily quests out there, I have only done them a few times and because of the limited playtime I have had lately I find it much easier to spend an hour completing 7 or 8 quests and gaining reputation a very good investment of my time.
