Ossi Bad, Rep Good
Last night we made yet another haphazard run at Ossirian in AQ20. No luck. I think everyone was thinking, "Hey, we've cleared to Ossi already, it's going to reset tomorrow, let's pound on him and get the phat lewts." But Monday is a horrible night for the server performance-wise, and people seemed to need more time to rest and relax after playing all weekend.
Afterwards, I made a circuit through Un'Goro since I was in the area. It's a nice place to farm -- you can get Essences of Earth and Guardian Stones from the Guardians, Living Essence from the Tar People, and now Savage Fronds for AD tokens from the Lashers.
Then I joined up with some folks for a quick Field Duty run in Silithus since they were claiming Blizzard changed it back so that you would get Cenarion Circle rep every time you complete it. I didn't have high hopes that it would work for me since I've made it up to Revered, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised to discover that you do indeed get 25 rep per completion!
I'm tempted to set aside a few hours to just run back and forth this weekend doing Field Duty and see if I can get close to Exalted, but I've got 16,000 rep to go = 640 Field Duties... I'll probably just work on collecting 25 Argent Dawn Valor Tokens so I can get the Chromatic Mantle of the Dawn, then split my time between working on Rockfury Bracers and the Talisman of Ascendence when I'm not raiding.
I'm really hoping, though, that the prices for Savage Fronds, Cores of Elements, etc. start to drop. Most people are selling them for 1g per, with the occassional seller trying to sell quickly at 50s per (but not in bulk). My feeling is that 600g-1000g is a reasonable price to pay to "buy" an epic, whether it's buying it outright, cobbling together materials, or buying quest turnins.
At Exalted with the Argent Dawn, it takes 27 Insignia of the Dawn and 27 Insignia of the Crusade for an epic. Each of the 54 insignia requires 30 drops for a total of 1,620.
So, paying 50s a drop on the Auction House isn't a horrible rate... but if the supply gets glutted to the point where they're going for 25s each or less I'll be thrilled and buy them as fast as I can.
