Le farm le PLUS DÉBILE de Burning Crusade

The speaker embarked on a lengthy "farming" quest for a specific in-game item, a classic experience in World of Warcraft. This entire endeavor originated from a particular achievement called "Track the Drake," which requires players to collect a precise list of dragons to earn another dragon as a reward. Although the reward dragon isn't aesthetically pleasing, the speaker emphasizes that any new mount is a worthwhile addition to a player's collection. The goal was to acquire this mount, and the speaker was close, needing only the Azure Drake and the Violet Netherwing Drake. Initially, the speaker spent two weeks attempting to obtain the Azure Drake from Malygos, found in the Eye of Eternity raid in Northrend. However, despite multiple attempts, the speaker only received the Blue Drake mount twice, which was already in their collection. Malygos can drop two different mounts regardless of difficulty, leading to three instances of the Blue Drake and zero of the Azure Drake. This led the speaker to conclude that obtaining the Azure Drake was purely a matter of luck, with only a 1% chance per Malygos kill. The Violet Netherwing Drake, however, is a more unique mount. It requires players to raise their reputation with the Netherwing faction to "Exalted" status before it can be purchased. A significant bonus of this reputation grind is that achieving Exalted status grants access to not one, but six mounts. The speaker initially believed this would be an easy task, given that the mount has been in the game for nearly 20 years, assuming it could be completed in a few hours. This assumption proved incorrect, leading to a dedicated video on the subject. To begin the reputation grind, players must travel to Outland, specifically to Shadowmoon Valley. The process starts by speaking with a "badass" Blood Elf who is dedicated to the protection of dragons. After completing a few initial quests, players gain access to a small island above, teeming with dragons and red orcs who have enslaved them. The Blood Elf sends the player there to rescue these dragons. Players start at "Friendly" reputation with the Netherwing faction. The initial quests include both "yellow" quests, which are one-time story-driven quests, and "blue" daily quests, which can be completed once per day. New yellow quests are unlocked with each reputation tier increase. The journey from "Friendly" to "Exalted" is described as long. The speaker approached this initially as a "full noob," completing the initial quests and daily quests to slowly gain reputation. It's noted that quests from the goblin character often involve sabotaging dragon gullets. After completing the initial quests and dailies, two main methods exist for farming reputation. The first is to stop for the day and only complete the daily quests, which each grant 350 reputation points (with one offering 500). This is the quickest option in terms of daily time investment. However, to acquire the mount as quickly as possible on the calendar, there's a more intensive "ravager" solution: collecting dragon eggs. Dragon eggs can be obtained in two ways. Firstly, they can be found scattered in the open world, specifically in a small village near the first quest-giver and on the main quest island. On the island, they can be found on floating islands, throughout the main island, and within the mine. Secondly, eggs have a 1% chance to drop from mining nodes, plants, and monsters killed in the cave or on the island. Once an egg is acquired, it can be turned in to the goblin (referred to as "G") for 250 reputation points, an action that can be repeated infinitely. The open-world eggs have a long respawn time, estimated at around 30 minutes, and are not abundant. This respawn time is further complicated by competition from other players, as many still seek these mounts. The speaker advises players to adjust their War Mode setting (inactive to active or vice-versa) to potentially reduce competition. Two essential addons are recommended for this farming process. The first is "HandyNotes" with the "Netherwing Eggs" supplement, which displays the spawn locations of all open-world dragon eggs as blue orbs. Hovering over them provides a text description of their exact location. This addon is particularly useful for outdoor areas, while inside the mine, players are advised to simply look directly at their screen rather than relying on the minimap. The second addon is "MobInfo2," which, when hovering over a monster, shows how many times it has been killed and how many items (including eggs) have been looted from it. The speaker regrets not having this addon from the start. The speaker then details the reality of choosing the "ravager" method, which involves relentless egg hunting. Based on personal experience, the speaker offers advice to save time. For those not in a hurry, it's possible to complete the grind in 2-3 hours of dedicated play. The speaker, however, spent a total of 20 hours. To speed up the process significantly, it's ideal to farm during the Burning Crusade Timewalking events, which offer a reputation bonus for that expansion. An additional 10% bonus can be gained if the "Sign of the Scryers" buff is active simultaneously. However, the next Burning Crusade Timewalking event was projected for late August 2026, meaning a 5-month wait from the video's creation in March, with these events occurring only once every 8 months for about two weeks. This long wait led the speaker to simply "charge straight ahead" and farm without waiting for bonuses. For efficient egg farming, the speaker recommends completing daily quests first, as they take 10-15 minutes and each quest is equivalent to 1.5 collected eggs. Open-world eggs are scarce; even without competition, the speaker collected only 6-7 per hour, having collected over a hundred in total. After dailies, the speaker starts in the mine, where two more dailies are available. A consistent path is followed, searching every nook and cranny while killing monsters. A pro tip is to increase particle detail in graphics settings, as it creates an aura around eggs, making them easier to spot. The speaker describes a specific route through the mine: descending the rails, checking nooks on the right while killing "weird globules" (which sometimes drop small bags with a minuscule chance of an egg or a one-time reputation quest). A macro for instantly opening these bags is provided to save time. The route continues to the back of the cave, clearing all monsters, then back up the rails, cleaning the remaining section of the cave before exiting. After the mine, the speaker searches for outdoor eggs to allow mine monsters to respawn, then returns to the mine, creating a cycle. Quantifying the effort, the speaker didn't count specific monster kills but estimates turning in at least 100 eggs and completing dailies at least four times over. This reinforces the two choices for reaching Exalted: daily quests alone (taking several weeks) or intensive 6-hour farming sessions of monsters and eggs in Outland. A middle ground suggested is to do dailies and then a quick tour for open-world eggs. After over 20 hours of farming, the speaker finally reached Exalted. This triggers a quest where the orcs discover the player's deception and attempt to capture them at the Black Temple. A dragon then rescues the player, flying them to Shattrath. This flight is a non-skippable, 15-minute journey without dialogue or cutscenes, where the player can do nothing but watch. Upon arrival, the player can claim one of the six mounts for free. The speaker chose the Violet Drake, the one needed for the "Track the Drake" achievement. Conveniently, the orcs at the encampment suffer from "Alzheimer's" and don't remember the betrayal, allowing the player to purchase the other five mounts for 200 gold each. This results in six new mounts, including the one needed for the original achievement. The speaker reflects on having obtained these mounts on private servers previously, where permanent reputation bonuses made the process much shorter. Now, with the Violet Drake, only one more mount is needed to complete the "Track the Drake" achievement. The speaker invites viewers to watch mount-hunting streams or VODs for more content. Despite the length, the speaker found the farming enjoyable and memorable, something to be done once and cherished. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to subscribe for more mount collection content and thanking them for listening.
