Netherwing Reputation Farming Guide for TBC Classic Anniversary

Netherwing reputation is one of the most rewarding reputation grinds available in WoW TBC Classic Anniversary. Reaching Exalted unlocks one of the most iconic mount collections from The Burning Crusade, the Netherwing Drakes.

The grind takes place in Shadowmoon Valley and combines a long introductory quest chain, daily quests, profession activities, mob farming, and Netherwing Egg turn-ins. While completing your daily quests is important, players who actively farm Netherwing Eggs can significantly speed up the journey to Exalted.

This guide explains how to unlock the Netherwing faction, the riding requirements you need, the best ways to farm reputation, where to find Netherwing Eggs, and how to unlock your Netherwing Drake mount.

Netherwing Reputation Requirements

Before starting the Netherwing reputation grind, make sure your character meets the required conditions.

You must be level 70 to begin the Netherwing quest chain. You also need at least Expert Riding and a flying mount to complete the initial quests and reach Neutral reputation.

However, progressing beyond Neutral requires Artisan Riding. Without Artisan Riding, you will not be able to continue through the full Netherwing daily quest system and advance efficiently toward Exalted.

Netherwing Requirements

The Netherwing reputation chain begins at Hated, but the introductory questline provides a large amount of reputation and eventually brings you directly to Neutral.

Where to Start the Netherwing Questline

To begin farming Netherwing reputation, travel to the Netherwing Fields in southeastern Shadowmoon Valley and find Mordenai.

The introductory questline starts with Kindness and gradually introduces you to the Netherwing dragons and the Dragonmaw orcs controlling the area.

The quest chain includes several important steps involving Neltharaku, Dragonmaw Fortress, Netherwing Ledge, and eventually the liberation of Karynaku. Completing the full introductory chain unlocks access to the Netherwing faction activities and provides enough reputation to reach Neutral.

The final quest, Ally of the Netherwing, provides a major reputation reward and unlocks the next stage of the Netherwing grind.

How to Farm Netherwing Reputation

The fastest way to gain Netherwing reputation is to combine every available source of reputation instead of relying on daily quests alone.

Your general strategy should be:

1. Complete the entire introductory questline.

2. Finish every available one-time quest at your current reputation level.

3. Complete all available daily quests every day.

4. Farm Netherwing Eggs whenever possible.

5. Continue unlocking new quests and dailies as your reputation increases.

New quests and daily activities become available as you progress through Friendly, Honored, and Revered. This means your daily reputation potential improves as you move closer to Exalted.

Players who only complete daily quests will make steady progress, but Netherwing Eggs are the biggest opportunity to accelerate the grind.

Netherwing Daily Quests

After reaching Neutral and gaining access to the Dragonmaw Base Camp on Netherwing Ledge, daily quests become the foundation of your reputation farming.

These quests generally involve gathering materials, completing combat objectives, performing work for the Dragonmaw camp, and progressing through activities unlocked at higher reputation levels.

Profession-based activities can also contribute to your daily routine. Mining, Herbalism, and Skinning provide access to specific gathering quests and opportunities to obtain additional materials while farming in the Netherwing areas.

It is important to complete every available daily quest before spending additional time searching for Eggs. Your daily quests provide guaranteed reputation, while Egg farming depends more heavily on competition and spawn availability.

As your reputation increases, additional quests unlock, so always check the Netherwing hub after reaching a new reputation rank.

Netherwing Eggs: The Fastest Way to Speed Up the Grind

Netherwing Eggs are the most important bonus source of reputation during the Netherwing grind.

Your first Netherwing Egg is turned in through The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt, which provides 350 reputation. After completing this quest, you unlock the repeatable quest Accepting All Eggs, allowing you to turn in additional Eggs for 250 reputation each.

Unlike daily quests, Netherwing Egg turn-ins are repeatable and are not limited by a daily cap.

This makes Egg farming the best way to speed up your path to Exalted.

How to Find Netherwing Eggs

Netherwing Eggs can be obtained in several ways:

• Found as ground objects in Netherwing farming zones.

• Dropped by creatures in Netherwing-related areas.

• Obtained while gathering certain profession resources.

• Found around Netherwing Ledge.

• Found inside the Netherwing Mines.

• Found around Dragonmaw Fortress.

Miners and Herbalists have an additional advantage because Netherwing Eggs can occasionally appear while gathering Nethercite Deposits and Netherdust Bushes.

Because Eggs can appear throughout multiple zones, the most efficient strategy is usually to follow a route covering all major Netherwing farming areas rather than waiting in one location.

Best Netherwing Egg Farming Route

The best approach to Netherwing Egg farming is to create a continuous loop through the major spawn areas.

Start around Netherwing Ledge and check visible ground spawn locations. Continue through the Netherwing Mines while killing mobs and gathering resources. After finishing the mines, move toward Dragonmaw Fortress and check the surrounding area before returning to Netherwing Ledge.

This approach gives you multiple opportunities to obtain Eggs through ground spawns, mob drops, Mining, and Herbalism.

A simple Netherwing Egg farming route looks like this:

Netherwing Ledge → Netherwing Mines → Dragonmaw Fortress → Return to Netherwing Ledge

The exact efficiency of this route depends heavily on your server population. Highly populated servers may have significant competition for Eggs, while quieter hours can provide more opportunities to find them.

Do not ignore mob drops and profession gathering while searching. An efficient Netherwing Egg farm combines every possible source instead of focusing only on visible ground spawns.

Netherwing Reputation Progression

The Netherwing reputation grind starts at Hated and progresses through every standard reputation level.

The introductory quests provide the largest early jump in reputation. After reaching Neutral, your progress becomes more dependent on completing daily quests and collecting Netherwing Eggs.

The most efficient players will always complete one-time quests as soon as they become available, because these quests provide additional reputation without waiting for the next daily reset.

How Long Does It Take to Reach Exalted With Netherwing?

The total time required depends on how aggressively you farm Netherwing Eggs.

Players who focus only on daily quests can expect the grind to take multiple daily resets. Adding consistent Egg farming can substantially reduce the total time because Eggs provide repeatable reputation with no normal daily turn-in limit.

The exact duration will vary depending on:

• Server population.

• Competition for Netherwing Eggs.

• Available daily quests.

• Your profession.

• How many Eggs you collect each day.

• Whether you complete every newly unlocked quest immediately.

For the fastest results, treat Netherwing reputation as a daily routine and combine your guaranteed daily quests with dedicated Egg farming sessions.

Netherwing Drake Mount Rewards

Reaching Exalted with the Netherwing unlocks one of the most famous mount rewards from The Burning Crusade.

After completing the final Exalted questline, you can choose one Netherwing Drake as your reward. There are six available color variations.

Netherwing Drake Mount Colors

• Cobalt Netherwing Drake

• Onyx Netherwing Drake

• Azure Netherwing Drake

• Purple Netherwing Drake

• Veridian Netherwing Drake

• Violet Netherwing Drake

The different Netherwing Drake colors are cosmetic variations of the same mount type, so your choice comes down to personal preference.

After reaching Exalted, the remaining Netherwing Drake colors can also be purchased from Drake Dealer Hurlunk at the Dragonmaw Base Camp.

TBC Classic Anniversary Netherwing Reputation Tips

If you want to reach Exalted as quickly as possible, follow these tips.

Complete Every Quest Before Farming Eggs

One-time quests provide guaranteed reputation and unlock additional activities. Always complete newly available quests before spending hours searching for Eggs.

Never Skip Daily Quests

Daily quests are your consistent source of guaranteed progress. Missing daily resets will extend the total grind.

Farm Netherwing Eggs Between Dailies

Use your travel time between daily objectives to check Egg spawn locations. This allows you to gain additional reputation without separating Egg farming from your normal routine.

Use Gathering Professions

Mining and Herbalism can provide additional opportunities to find Netherwing Eggs while completing profession-related activities.

Check All Major Zones

Do not remain in a single location. Search Netherwing Ledge, the Netherwing Mines, and Dragonmaw Fortress as part of one continuous route.

Turn In Eggs Immediately

After unlocking the repeatable Egg turn-in quest, turn in your collected Eggs regularly and continue farming.

Is Netherwing Reputation Worth Farming?

Yes. Netherwing reputation is one of the most valuable reputation grinds for players who want rare and iconic flying mounts in TBC Classic Anniversary.

The six Netherwing Drake colors are the primary reason to reach Exalted, but the faction also provides additional quests, rewards, and items during the progression process.

The grind can take time, especially if your server has heavy competition for Eggs. However, completing every daily quest and actively farming Eggs makes the process significantly faster than relying on daily reputation alone.

For collectors, Netherwing remains one of the most rewarding reputation grinds available in The Burning Crusade.
