TJ!!!! I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS, BUT GET INTO A PET DUEL WITH HOBBES!!

If BRK doesn’t hit the mend pet button or Bestial wrath… Your Fel Gaurd will surely kick the snot out of Hobbes. So make it very clear… NO HELP!!

I know this because Felix got into a pet duel with one of those pesky ass Fel Guards, and died horribly… It’s ok though, because on the next go round, the Warlock and I jumped in the fight. It was a good fight but I won and claimed Felix’s pride back!

It’s a helluva grind. I’m currently at 13,000/21000 (8,000 away from exalted) and am REALLY tired of it.

Ignore the advice on how to kill the mobs; that’s the easy part. Buy a fast mount and a riding crop ASAP because the run is BY FAR the worst part of this.

If I hadn’t gotten myself to revered grinding timbermaw rep, I would have quit long ago.

There’s a reason why you don’t see any of these around. This is the hardest rep grind in the game.

THANK YOU SOMEONE! I was driving myself insane trying to find where I’d read that. Stupid fuckers not putting the word “reputation” in that line.

Also, /sign for the TJ side. Mostly because it’s such a ludicrous bet.

Someone that is the best Macro ever. I can think of some other applications. Thank you for giving me something new to play with! How fun will it be for TJ to constantly change what it says to BRK.

Bob, don’t forget that a 58+ will be getting XP and vendor trash to sell while grinding those mobs: it’s probably less boring to just grind the gold and buy a normal 150 riding epic mount, but this one can be an easy alternative to have a fast ride, even if only attainable at 60, without lashing out the 800+g on the training… Add to that the Timbermaw rep that you can get at the same time and it’s a pretty decent, even if boring, grind to get XP, gold, cheap swift ride, and rep…

As for the macro, something easy like this (untested):

/dismount [mounted,noflying][mounted,flying,modifier]
/stopmacro [mounted]
/cleartarget
/target BRK
/use [exists] Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber; [flyable] whatever-flying-mount-you-have; Summon Dreadsteed
/say [exists] Here Hobsie…

Something like this should do the trick! It will dismount if mounted, but if flying will require to press some modifier key (SHIFT/ALT/CTRL); otherwise it will attempt to target BRK and, if successful, will use “Hobes ride”; otherwise will use a flying mount if possible or your swift warlock mount. If it could target BRK, it will also say “Here Hobsie…”

Hope this helps and if it doesn’t work and needs some tweaking just let me know!

I keep seeing people say that this is a “cheap mount”. You do realize that for the time it takes to grind that rep out you could EASILY grind more cash than it takes to get an epic mount, especially if you are grinding for cash in outlands, even at level 59. This mount is NOT cheaper, and even though you can get it with the lower riding skill, you will surely ding 60 long before you kill the 7-8 THOUSAND mobs you have to kill to get this mount. It is a catch 22. There is no way to get the rewards other than kill stuff, the killing of that stuff will get you to 60, where you could get an epic mount anyway.

This mount is not cheaper, it is just pretty. And knowing TJ, BRK was EXACTLY right when he mentioned her having a

Good hunting TJ!
