So, Who has it so far?

I was able to pick it up this weekend. Fun times :)

The quest line isn't bad save the heroic run, and even then with a good group he's pretty easy.

My first group consisted of 3 druids, a mage and a shadow priest. We wiped once on the summoned boss, but the proceeded to own him. One druid was resto, the other would off heal, off tank, and DPS. On the summoned boss he mainly off healed, helping heal the mage that would AOE all the birds in the banish phase.

I ran it a second time with 2 druids, a mage, warlock, and rogue. The druid couldn't keep everyone up, so we subbed out the rogue for a holy pally and the rest was pretty easy.

I have to say, instant cast epic speed and being able to pick herbs in that form, I love it :)

Start doing the daily quests in Ogra'la and Skettis, that's some easy money there.

I'll have to set aside time to start those. I'm 2k shy of the mark. I really want my epic flight form. however I'm just as tempted to get my lvl 55 hunter to outland. I know how money fell like rain. So with a hunter not needing to buy expensive stuff (oh like Jewelcrafting supplies...), and being able to skin anything that moves (nothing like having a 335 skinning at lvl 55) I should be able to make a pretty penny while having fun leveling. I'm tempted to get my 2k for epic that way. Maybe a mix of both is best for my sanity....

I want to be like one of those people who say... now that I have my epic mount, I just don't see the point of money....

Leveling my mage is partially how I saved up for my epic on my druid :)

I wish I had a higher level alt that I could take to Outlands to quest with as well....

Alas my 13 Mage will be sitting in Ghostlands for a while....

I have two within striking distance of Outland. My mage is lvl 47, but I can't get into leveling him any more for whatever mental reason. My hunter being lvl 55 and tons of fun to play, I really have motiviation to play them. Hell I ignore rest xp because its soo much fun to play.

Daily Quests in both Shattrath and SMV seem to be great money makers for those struggling.

I just need some time to do them =D

I got it two days ago. The quest chain was pretty easy. The only part that is difficult is the third aspect, because he is almost immune to physical damage, making it somewhat hard for a feral druid ^_^

The flight form itself is pretty damn cool. Especially if you autorun, jump and shift in midair still pressing space. That feels like a rocket launch :)

I've heard the heroic boss part can be stealth run.
Anyone tried this? Or know how to?

I ground out 1.5k gold in 3 days to get epic riding skill.
Daily quests and Netherstorm quests.

Hit 70 looong before I really tapped Netherstorm.
Tons of quests and "3 man" quests that are easily soloable by a bear. Good money. Can get even more money selling the crappy gear the quests reward.
Not to mention Scryer/Aldor and Consortium rep.

Can't start grinding Netherdrake rep until you get the riding skill. :)
Free riding crop eh? woo!

The first part of the questline kinda sucked. I'm not an herber. >.<

When he sends you to get the Moonstone do yourself a favor and don't look it up on wowhead.
It's way more fun that way :)

Pre-patch, I know I was able to stealth run the last boss with a few rogues/druids. As for Anzu (I think that's how it's spelt. I haven't gone back, even though I think that mount would be dead awesome), I can't see him being stealthable. You'd have to exit stealth in the middle of a room with about five groups in it. Not to mention, I don't believe you'd have the CC to handle it. I could be wrong, though.

I got my Epic Flight Form the first day it was out, about five-seven hours after the servers came up. It was awesome. ^^

First boss now sees through stealth.

Kauroth

First boss can be 5-Manned though if you have enough DPS to take down the ShadowFiend so he doesn't fear you into more mobs.

Use the alcove to the left of where the boss is and you should have no problem.

We stealthed those Moon-something or other for another Druid the other day.

I wish I could make more money....only made 500G all weekend.

Speaking of Daily quests....I've only found 4.

Fires Over Skettis
Bomb Them Again
The Relic's Emenation
Wrangle More Aether Rays

Anyone know of any more that give gold as a reward?

I just got it last night. A total of 6 attempts on Anzu, but we got it. My party was Shadow Priest, Rogue, Pally (healer), Warlock and Me (Feral) build. Wipe 3x with me tanking then our Shadow Priest left to let his Warrior friend in to help with tanking while I switch to off-healing.

We did the tactic of Kiting him to the room of the first boss and found it much easier than doing it in his room. When he banish, it gave us time to bandage and let those precious sec. tick away so we could take a mana pot. We all pass when loot and let the warrior take it for helping us, which was awesome since he could us it

After I turned it in, we had a blackout!. talk about timing!.

Those are the 4 in BEM. There are also 2 Skyguard-rep quests in Skettis, one you get from the landing area, and one granted by a prisoner who can spawn in one of a few spots (that's a nice one, gives a couple potions as a reward besides the money).

Then there are... 6 (?) dailies available from the Netherwing, as I understand it.

From the Netherwing there are more daily quests you can do based on your Netherwing reputation. I actually got my Drake yesterday after being on a week-long vacation.

Neutral: Up to 4 if you have any gathering proffesions, 3 if you don't.

Friendly: Up to 7 if you have any gathering proffesions, 6 if you don't.

Honored: Up to 8 with gathering proffesions, 7 if you don't.

Revered: Up to 9, 8 with no gathering proffesion.

But the only problem is that I can't start the Netherwing daily quests until I have Epic Flight Skill anyway....

So I guess it's back to farming Sunfury Elves for cloth/signets....

im still trying to save enuf money. i have like 600g but i cant figure out how to make more money short of farming 24 hours a day for those damn primal airs or doin the one daily quest i can do rite now. ive read the quest line all the way thru (honestly, for a guide to that questline, best place is WoWWiki.com) and it does seem pretty easy as a boomkin, but i just dont have the money or the good armor or the Heroic Key to aucindaun (bout 3000 rep shy). i have seen the epic flight form and it looks awesome with those nightelf ears and just the fact of the instant 290% speed (with that free trinket). is definitely worth 4000g to try to get because u also get that way awesome trinket that adds 9% to moonkin aura, leader of the pack aura, and like 30+ healing to tree of life aura. recommended for any raiding druid or farming druid

I can make a 200G on a good day farming right outside of The Black Temple.

Just gotta find the time to put in a full day.

Till then I'm just doing daily quests.

I got my epic flight form 4 days after the patch was released and killed Anzu in my first attempt.

There's 4 Daily Quests for Skyguard
There's 2 Daily Quests for Org'la
There's 4 Daily Quests for Netherwing

Also, if your plan on doing the Hellfire Penn. quest to take over the towers, that now counts as a daily quest.
