The Swift Stormsaber

Woohoooooooooooo... Hit exalted with darnasuss at last and got my Swift Stormsaber.

After yesterday's situation, I was left with two options.
1. Morrowgrain
2. Pristine Yeti Hide

The morrowgrain quest is a waste of time for those seeking reputation. At 70, it gave me 275 for the first 10 morrowgrain and 27-28 for each time then on. I have to mention though that I got 3 morrowgrain consistently for the first 4 harvests, which seems incredible after the posts I have read about the drop rate.

The Pristine Yeti Hide is a good quest for reputation seekers. At 70, it gives 70s and 275 rep every time! The rage scar cave is quite close to the Feathermoon Stronghold. It took about 10 mins for me from Feathermoon to the cave and back with the Pristine Yeti Hide (using my level 40 mount).

I have definitely given up the idea of getting a Dreadsteed now. I don't want to spend 200G more. I'd rather get my gryphon instead... what say?

Darnasuss Reputation

I have not paid too much attention to reputation while leveling up. I am not even exalted with StormWind... Now that I am at 70 and everything is about reputation, I set off on my new journey.

As I mentioned in the last post, I don't have an epic mount yet. I also really want the elven tiger mount. Now I have wasted about 200G on the materials I collected for the DreadSteed Quest. I am supposed to spend another 200G for the next set of materials. I thought I'd rather build up my reputation with Darnasuss and get the tiger mount... although I'll have to spend on training.

With this in mind, I set the darnasuss reputation as my experience bar and started right from shadowglen... I worked my way upto Auberdine and ended up increasing my reputation from 4500+ to 18700+ in a couple of days. Now there's not much to do since I had done the higher level quests for the Night elves while leveling.

This left me with two options
1. Cloth Donations
2. Yeti Hide

I started with the cloth donations and spent 20G on the wool, silk and mageweave. I didn't want to spend on runecloth so I started farming. First the blood-elves of Azshara and then at the expedition armory. Expedition armory is the best spot for farming runecloth. I had 7 stacks in 25 mins. The Knights and the Footmen drop 2-3 runecloth most of the times.

The first runecloth donation gives 57s + 385 reputation for 60 runecloth. But the repeatable quests give only 82 reputation for 20 runecloth. That leaves me with 19361 reputation. Don't know where I am going to get the remaining 1700.
