My Isle Of Quel’Danas Daily Quest Routine

Archived in the category: Quests, Tips
Posted by Nance on 11 Jul 08 - 0 Comments

I thought I’d take some time today and share my routine for the Isle of Quel’Danas daily quests. I’m sure by now everyone has their own way of handling these but this is how I do it. After I’ve run around and accepted all 10 of the quests (I always skip Your Continued Support and the two Outland quests usually) here’s my routine:

#1. The Air Strikes Must Continue
The first two quests I do are the bombing runs. The Air Strikes Must Continue can be finished in one pass with a little skill. The easiest way is to add the bombing item to your toolbar than just spam the button until it becomes available to fire again.

#2. Keeping The Enemy At Bay
This second bomb run is a bit tedious at times because the boats can be full of other players trying to kill the six Dawnblade reservists. This quest isn’t nearly as cool or entertaining as the other bombing one but it’s certainly just as easy.

#3. Further Conversions
After the bombing runs are done, I walk 50 feet away from the dock towards the Erratic Sentries walking along the coast. This quest I group up with the next two and within 10 minutes I’m almost halfway done with the dailies.

#4. Arm The Wards!
While I’m taking out Erratic Sentries I attack any of the nearby Wretched NPCs I can see. There’s usually pretty stiff competition for kills in this area, depending on the time of day, so I don’t hesitate to attack anything around me. The drop rate on the Wretched for Mana Remnants isn’t the best so this one might take a few minutes to complete.

#5. Open For Business
I usually pick up the Bloodyberries for this quest while I’m completing the two above. This is hands down the easiest daily on the island as these things are spread out all over the map. I usually just complete it here to get it out of the way.

#6. Crush The Dawnblade
Once I’ve got the Bloodberry, Mana Remnants and converted Erratic Sentries done it’s a short walk to find and kill the three varieties of Blood Elf for this quest. Again, competition is pretty stiff in this area if you’re hitting this quest during peak hours. While you’re here, don’t forget to survey the Ley Line for the Know Your Ley Lines quest.

#7. The Battle Must Go On
This is far and away my least favorite of the daily quests. The demons are all a stone’s throw away from the Blood Elf camp. Unfortunately, their area is so cramped that it’s really easy to get caught up in 3-on-1 fights. One nice aspect of this quest is that you can plant the flag in the Emissary of Hate without actually having to kill it yourself. My policy is to just get in and get out of this tiny area as fast as possible. Don’t forget to survey the Ley Line first though.

#8. Don’t Stop Now…
I wish the drop rate for the keys was a bit better but the spawn rate is fast enough that this isn’t too frustrating or time consuming. As with most of the dailies, competition for the mobs can be pretty fierce. I notice that if you walk closer down to the shrine it’s easier.

#9. Disrupt The Greengill Coast
The Sirens that drop the item required for this quest don’t spawn as often or as much as the other mob in the area. My tip for this quest is to kill every Siren you see even if you’ve already freed all the slaves. The extra Orbs of Mind Control you’ll pick up can be used the next time you run this quest to save you some time.

#10. Know Your Ley Lines
The last Ley Line is the shrine of the Myrmidon. As long as you didn’t forget to get the other two (Blood Elf Stones and Demon Portal) this should complete this quest. Once this last one is surveyed you can head back and turn in all of the quests.

The Final Tally
You should easily make over 100g running these nine quests. Between the quest rewards, vendor trash and auction-worth items it wouldn’t surprise me if that total was closer to 150g. That’s not too shabby considering you can run all of these in 30-45 minutes depending on your gear.

Mining for Thorium can yield some good profit. With this route in the Eastern Plaquelands, you can average around 20 ores a round. Each stack can sell for nearly 40G depending on your server. Start at Caer Darrow (labeled “START”)

WoW Gold Guide image of a Starving Bog LordYeah… Sounds to good to be true doesn’t it? 3 things all at once, now that is what I call efficient! So where is this location which allows you to farm for reputation, gold and primals at the same time? The Spawning Glen in Zangarmarsh of course!

I recommend you to be at least level 65 to farm here for it to really be efficient and effective. In this area you will be able to get:

  1. Unidentified Plant Parts for Cenarion Expedition reputation
  2. Bog Lord Tendrils for Sporeggar reputation
  3. Motes of Life - 10 of these for 1 Primal LifeWoW Gold Guide image of a Starving Fungal Giant

The mobs Starving Bog Lord and Starving Fungal Giants both have a 24% drop rate Unidentified Plant Parts and 18% for both Motes of Life and Bog Lord Tendrils. You may also get some Mature Spore Sacs which are also for Sporeggar reputation. You can also get quite a few greens from the drops and a ton of vendor trash.

WoW Gold Guide image of the eBookI took this guide from my free eBook. If you want more guides (on making WoW Gold) then join my mailing list by going to the main page and enter your details in the subscription box.

First up, not everyone has a top-notch computer that can play World of Warcraft smoothly. So what I advise you to do is to open up Notepad and type in this code:

del C:\Windows\Prefetch\*.*/Q
Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

And save it as a .bat file (remove the .txt extension from it)

Please don’t start screaming “omg itz viruz”

For those who are super-paranoid, I’ll tell you what the .bat file does… All it does is deleting all your Prefetched Files leaving you with a clean session without memory-hogging stuff running even though you aren’t using it. It then kills idle processes on your system making it go faster as you have more memory to use :)

To use this file, just run it before running World of Warcraft - in fact, you can use this before running any program that your computer may not be able to handle smoothly.
