Fun New Collectibles in 4.0.3a
|
So far, here's what I've found to collect/kill time working on while waiting for 12/7:
Singing sunflower - Really cool companion pet and fun quest/mini-game
Mr. Grubbs - Spent probably 3 hours farming this grub worm
River Boat - Yep,a boat you can summon in thousand needles
Withers - Tree companion/pet
Gilneas rep - their tabard makes it easy to bump this up while checking out the dungeons
Still working on Rivendare's mount and I've gotta say I like the changes to Strat (at least from the perspective of farming the mount).
Anybody find anything else cool out there?

Is Mr. Grubbs a companion and is the boat from a quest? I hated swimming forever in TKN when I fell off the other day.

Dunno about Mr Grubbs but the boat is from a quest. Do the quests at the Speed barge.

If it comes with a Happy Ending: for win.
If it comes with an "old school temperature reading": not so for win.

Yes, the boat is a quest reward. It's part of a chain most likely. I got it after doing a bunch of the quests on the speed barge.
Mr. Grubbs is a worm pet that does flips and is pretty cool. You get him by doing the caravan quests in West Plaguelands. Once you do a couple quests you'll get the option to pick one of 3 buffs from the caravan. Pick the "lucky" buff that gives you a chance to find a hidden stash on mobs and you have a pretty low chance every time you open up a stash to find mr. grubbs inside. Any mob in the zone can drop a stash but the respawn rate on the big grub worms (see where this is going?) makes it a no-brainer that you will want to kill those.

We'll be able to fly in 1k needles in a week, so the boat is kind of pointless.

There is an item you can get from a fishing daily that has an amazing effect and atm didn't get removed from my bag when I turned in the quest. The tail has a 10s CD and when you click it it makes a giant lightening storm and poof of green/blue smoke.
The daily is http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26572 and you get to keep the thunder lizard tail.

I killed and killed and killed and on the 32nd damn stash, finally got the grub pet. Phew, that took longer than expected! But thanks for the tips on how to get it. Next I'll go look for the firefly I think... or the sunflower

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.

Ice is pretty cake if you use a mount and just skim the outside. I couldn't get Shadowy because of the amount of people doing it at the same timee. Hard to keep track of which ghosts are yours and which aren't.

lol! Ron Glass rocks! (loved his comedic timing)
If I was tagging for me, I would have just copied/pasted info. I have a guildmate who loves pets.
And yeah, IF I have time, and I can login to WoW this week. (Crosses fingers)....
