One the recurring themes of my Warcraft experience is frequent bursts of lust for things.

First I had to have a Hydrocane, and ground Gnomer relentlessly until I got one. Then it was a horse, rather than a goat, and I ran all over the world trying to gather the rep.

The most difficult was a WSG trinket, and the trauma of 30 WSG matches has kept me away from PVP since.

Now I must have an Admiral's Hat. I have the pattern, I have a friendly tailor, but I need the Long Elegant Feathers. I managed to get ONE on the auction house, and need five more.

I''ve had a look around the web (though my site options are limited in work), and think I'm going to head to Feralas to kill Frayfeather Hippogryphs. Can anyone tell me if these will be killable by an Alliance character? I was quite upset when I hoofed all the way to the Hinterlands to find I couldn't kill those gryphons!

creatures dropping these feathers :

lvl range / name / kill count / drop chance / area

42-44 / Frayfeather Hippogryph / 4580 / 4.5% / Feralas
40-42 / Trained Razorbeak / 1687 / 6.2% / The Hinterlands
41-43 / Witherbark Hideskinner / 1509 / 1.5% / The Hinterlands
43-45 / Razorbeak Gryphon 1388 7.3% The Hinterlands
46-48 / Razorbeak Skylord 1292 9.8% The Hinterlands
46-48 / Thunderhead Hippogryph 969 3.3% Azshara
40 / Kurdros 204 9.0% Hillsbrad Foothills
40 / Granistad 182 8.2% Hillsbrad Foothills
40 / Wild Gryphon 122 11.0% Hillsbrad Foothills

Thanks Twoflower, I already went to the Hinterlands and found that an Alliance character can't kill most of the gryphons - they're friendly. Is that the same with the Hippogryphs?

[Twoflower]

no, the hippogryphs are angry at everyone :)

[Redhole]

Excellent! I never liked the way their back legs gallop when they fly anyway.

i have a hat just sitting in the bank because no one will buy it on the AH.


lol. good luck with the feathers. i killed the hyppogriphs in feralas for them. killed about 40 before i found 1. then it dropped 3 times in a row. strange.

[teacake]

lol the lust for things.. good luck! You will succeed, that's the comforting thing about WoW. All rep, all feathers, all spiffy gear is in your grasp as long as you invest the time and patience.

I have it, and it is good! In the end I used a byzantine system of horde alts and friends to get the hat of the horde auction house, it probably cost me about 30 gold in total. It's totally worth it though - stylin'!

Next, I will be mostly killing Deadwood Furbolgs for Timbermaw rep - +25 2h weapon agility enchantment, yum...

[teacake]

What weapon is that? Sounds very nice..

This I believe

[Redhole]

I can't check the link from Odinsnephew, but it's an enchantment pattern giving +25 Agility on two-handed weapons. There's a one-handed version as well, +15 Agility I think. You can only buy if you are Friendly with Timbermaw Furbolgs.

Would there be a level requirement on the weapon that was enchanted with that?

(good thing this is the newbie forum, lol)

Nope. It's an enchantment often used on twink character weapons.
Faintly recall something about item level playing a role, but I'm far from 100% on this. It's been a while.

I went a while now without a goal, but I have one again! I am now aiming for an Ice Barbed Spear.

I've never been in Alterac Valley, any tips or tricks I should be aware of?

you gotta read all the threads in the battlegrounds section related to AV. there's plenty. i've read through some yesterday since im about ready to start it. =]

[Redhole]

Well last night I played 11 AV matches, and in every one of them the Alliance were outnumbered by around 2-1. Needless to say we lost every time. Quite discouraging!!
