Brewfest Fun & Cenarion Expedition

Cyanide grabbed some Fresh Goblin Hops and used em to get a [temporary] kodo mount. The real deal drops from the seasonal boss in BRD and despite seeing many, many, many of them in IF within 24 hours of the season opening, none of my friends have secured one despite the number of attempts.

Apparently, you must be willing to flog A LOT of time at it.

Speaking of things that can take a lot of time, I ran out of CE quests today. All that remain are level 70 quests and I still have 175K in xp to go before I get there. However, thanks to Bremm and his valuable advice, at level 69 I am sitting 'pretty' at 4419 rep into Revered with less than 17K rep to Exalted with CE. If it had not been for his advice, I might have been amongst those poor souls that dinged 70 and were barely Honored or [ack!] Friendly.

I heavily recommend simply just buying the unidentified plant parts outright while in Hellfire Penninsula and hop over to Zangar and buy your way to Honored. Then do the CE quests in HFP and carry on. Make sure you look up all the CE quests for each zone you zip through (I use Wowhead to look up the faction, quests and filter by zone) and get them done.

Next thing to do, is pick your favorite list of pre-Kara tanking gear and identify which quests give you those items and put them on your "to do list". With only 175K left to level, I'm going to ding 70 before I finish gathering all my quest rewards and BoE items for tanking. However, I have certainly figured out which quests I will go do in order to get the items I need.

Then I'll do the quest chain to grab epicness swift flight form - giving me more CE rep and hunker down for a few Steamvaults runs to ding in at Exalted and hop over to Zangar to pick up my Earthwarden.

No, not everyone likes to do that much pre-planning and reading. Fine, just copy someone else's plan!

Don't forget to enjoy the Brewfest - mebbe even snag a Kodo!
