Speaker Mar’Grom In Blade’s Edge Mountains

I was in Blade’s Edge Mountains yesterday, doing a bunch of easy quest to get my Druid to 68 as soon as possible.

I was up to the quest where you have to shrink down some Bloodmaul Wolves, and lo and behold, one big-*** Ogre shows up. He’s got two heads, but that’s not entirely abnormal (“Hey! How about some love for shoulder guy?!”) but he’s dressed in absolutely garish orange robes.

Turns out it is Speaker Mar’Grom, out for his afternoon constitutional. Of course, I did not give him the chance to proceed, and ripped him to shreds in about 10 seconds.

Hey I know it’s no great feat, as I was level 67. Turns out that Speaker Mar’Grom was not so tough, and he dropped some nice blue gloves, [Nethersteel-Lined Handwraps of the Prophet].

Now those gloves are probably not worth that much – 70g according to Allakhazam – but I figure that I’ll be lucky if I get 25g for them.

So anyways, I found Speaker Mar’Grom immediately in front of the cave at the very bottom of the map, in the middle. He is supposed to drop blue gear pretty much 100% of the time.

I also achieved the [Medium Rare] achievement for killing him, which was a nice bonus.

Netherweave Farming in Blade’s Edge Mountains

My druid, Allanona, is now level 67 and well on her way to level 68. I have decided to skim through the easiest quests of every region of Outlands in order to bring her to 68 as fast as possible so that she can finally go to Northrend.

After more or less finishing off Terrokar Forest last night with Talarin, my Priest buddy, I was considering which spot to hit next. The choices were either Nagrand, with hits fantastic hunting and skinning, or Blade’s Edge Mountains.

Since I already had a quest for Zangarmarsh that would take me to Blade’s Edge, I chose that. Sylvanaar has a nice little quest hub, and all the quests are very closely related and can be done more or less at the same time, which is always a bonus.

While I certainly wasn’t farming for anything specific, I paid close attention to the Netherweave drop rate, since I need some to finally level my First Aid skill to 375. There are several quests in Sylvanaar that require you to kill 30 each of the Bloodmaul and Bladespire Ogres, not to mention gathering crystals and geting the Ogres drunk. Those are pretty funny by the way.

What I found out is that the drop rate for Netherweave Cloth from the Ogres, both Bloodmaul and Bladespire, are more than acceptable!

I had two quests to kill 30 Ogres of each clan. It is safe to say that I did not kill much more than 60 total – maybe 70 – in the course of accomplishing all the Ogre-related Quests, and I managed to gather about 130 Netherweave cloth.

Calculating roughly, that’s an average of about 1.5 Netherweave cloth per kill, which is very passable, especially considering that I had to kill those Ogres for the Quests anyways.
