Another Easy Leveling Quest @ Icecrown...

[grimfritz]

Hiho !

I recently read about Captain Bad's Guide for Leveling via the gryphon-daily at death's rise, and worked my new char up to this quest. Finally, it worked well, BUT : there are a lot of quests you have to do to get there! And one of these quests was a great surprise =)

The quest i am talking about is The Art of Being a Water Terror - Quest - World of Warcraft . This quest is located at The Bone witch in southwestern Icecrown and is, as said before, a part of the main "knights of the ebon blade-questline". But the real surprise was the fact, that this quest has changed A LOT!
Or, the power of the elemental pet you have to use has grown up extremly ! It now has 4 pretty smart and useful abilities :

Frostbolt - 1sec casttime (!) - Good and fast damage and a slow-effect

Spell Reflection - ~30 sec - makes you lol @ the casters around there

Frost Nova - same as the mage ability, but costs to much pet-focus to be really usefull

Crashing Wave - 20 sec CD i guess - nice but expensive skill, if you fight more than one mob at a time, its awesome


So, but whats the matter for this post?

As you may have read in for the gryphon-quest, you first of all get FULL EXPERIENCE for the kills from the "pet quest", but thats not enough to make it worth mentioning!
It is more the combination of beeing abled to LOOT EVERY MOB YOU KILLED without any problems and the extremly fast killspeed. Downside is, i have to admit, the respawn isn't as great as the gryphon's one But thats the deal, you get lower xp/hour, but you get the loot 100% of the time with ease.

For me as a tailor with Northern Cloth Scavaging, it was a lot of fun to keep on the quest, killing all mobs in the area , dismounting from the elemental and looting everything and get a new elemental while waiting for Random Dungeon Group



At last, I have to stress the "Pro's" and "Cons" compairing this method with Captn Bads:

PROS :
- Every class can loot every mob easily (gryphons can be looted as an druid well, but other classes may have to kill lots of ground-mobs to get there)
- the water elemental is "tougher", at least for me, it felt so Boneshield from gryphon is nice, but...my elemental doesn't get hit at all, if you do it right

CONS :
- lower respawn-rate --> lesser xp/hour
- QUEST CAN ONLY BE DONE ONCE !!! Gryphon's quest is a daily one
- mobs are objectives for 2 other quests, so it MIGHT be someone else there


So, i hope someone finds this usefull, I made some good xp and loads of cloths there with an extremly poor equiped druid
