This post was lost in time! It has now re-found itself 2 weeks later…
Now I’m a Bloodsail Admiral its time to get back into the good graces of the Steamwheedle goblins. I have spent 4-5 hours in DM North so far with many more to go! The good news is that I’ve discovered that handing knot the mats to make a Gordok Ogre Suit is actually worth 75 rep each time! As I have a stash of Ogre Tanin already, and will get at least 1 every trip that’s a nice little boost to the grind!
Most trips into DM north will be quick, on the first hour I had hit the 5 instances and the hour cap after just 36 minutes. Some are unfortunately slow, having to kill almost every ogre to get a shackle key takes about 20-30 mins. So what do I do when I hit an instance cap? Well….
I have started levelling a rogue. Yup I feel DIRTY but it has to be done. This new char by the name of Sneakycat as I couldn’t get Ninjacat or Bubblegum, has two purposes. The first is to reach level 60 when it can pick pocket all those heavy junkboxes needed for Ravenholdt, the second is its an inscriber which is important for phase 3 and making of lots and lots and lots of Dark Moon Faire cards!
You see back in the day when the DMF first came along I went out doing all those gathering quests in order to get my 1000 or so, tickets for something I can’t even remember! What I discovered was once your rep hits friendly these quests will only give you tickets. So the answer was Darkmoon faire decks, at 350 rep a pop for turning them in. I did 4 or 5, because the Ace of Elementals used to be easy to farm and the rest of the set was cheap on the AH! But in the end though I gave up due to the expense!
We move forward to the present day, the best way to get DMF cards now is from inscription. You can make, without cooldown, a random card from the original sets, Outland sets or Northrend sets. Get a set make a deck and sell it for a fortune on the AH or hand it in for 350 rep. Can you guess which I’m going to be doing once my rogue has a high enough inscription? There are other cards as well, the Rogues, Mages, Swords & Demons sets. These are made by lower level inscription recipes and you only need 3-5 to make a deck. The down side is they are worth only 25 rep each, but the upside is you don’t have to wait until the Faire is in town to hand them in. The last couple of days has found me buying cheap cards on the AH and making the rogue cards with my rogue.
So its maths time! I’m currently at about 2500/6000 friendly. So for exalted I need 36,500 more rep. With the small decks being 25 rep each I would need 1460 more hand ins, which is millions! So as far as buying these cards from the AH is concerned I’ve stuck a 4g a deck limit on how much I spend on a card. The bigger decks of course are worth a lot more rep so I need to get this rogue to 60 as soon as possible so it can max out inscription!
