Can be procured from herbing, mining, or killing monsters. They are also world objects. A Large glowing column indicates you've found one, similar to the eggs at Celestial Ridge in Netherstorm. Finding these quite quickly. Haven't farmed much and hit friendly the first day.

Comment by 25180

350 rep first time 250 rep following turn-ins.

Comment by Elene

Seems to have a very low drop chance about ~1% as I have killed about 600 mobs in the mines and got 5 or 6 so far.

Comment by Malicii

The best place to farm these for me are in the mines. I clear back and forth from the flayers to the crazed murkblood guys. In the last hour I've found 7 eggs, 4 of those looted off the ground.

Comment by Cryptorchild

In my experience the best drop rate for these was off the rays. In the first two days I found one egg on the ground and 11 off the Rays. Since then farming mostly the mines I find more on the ground, and almost none off mobs. Either luck, or the Ray drop rate is considerably better due to lower spawn rates.

If mines are packed, give it a shot, the Motes of Mana are worth getting too.

Comment by Todesbote

Try looking for them on the Island as well as on the small floating Rocks around it. Those eggs also spawn in the Netherwing Fields and Dragonmaw Fortress - just seek them everywhere you have the disguise-buff. :)

Comment by 58191

These seem to spawn at certain locations, though I am not sure how long the respawn time is. I've seen one respawn behind the two elite drakes near the 'dock' where Netherwing Transporters land and fly off from, and it respawned in the same exact place. However, getting it required one person distracting the drakes because it was too close to them to open up without aggroing.

I've also seen them drop off the Nethermine Flayers more than once, though it's rather rare most of the time. I have also seen some spawn at different places in the cave, but finding them is tough since the mines are so camped most of the time.

Some other things to note:

1. Like Sasquatchiii said in another thread, if you're grouped you roll need/greed on the eggs if you come across one on a mob or 'open' a spawned egg up.

2. They DO stack, 20 per stack.

3. You only get the gold reward once on the FIRST turn in, and any eggs turned in after that just net you 250 rep.

4. You can turn in as many as you like in one day as the quest to turn them in IS NOT considered a daily quest.

5. A spawned egg is considered to be like a treasure chest in that you CANNOT open it up if you're in combat. You have to be OUT of combat to open it up and get the egg.

Comment by 20647

Like was said above, finding them in the open is a matter of right time/right place. If you find a spot in the open, it can respawn at the same spot. No idea on a timer on these things.

I managed to get about 7 or 8 my first day rep grinding...after that I been getting just a few a day. Most for me have been in the mine either spawned egg or mined. A few have come from mob drops. I got extremely luck once and got 2 eggs in a single ore vein.

Comment by Jezalov

droprate buffed? I've been farming the mine for flayer hides for 3 days, haven't looted a single egg, But today, I've looted 5 so far, either I'm lucky, or blizz buffed the rate

Comment by 49893

I just spent the day farming for these ... got about 17 total in one day. Took a while but here's how I did it.

1) Start out in the mines. Get into the area with the ravagers and flayers and start killing mobs, hoping for a drop. Go all the way south to the miners and kill them too. Look for eggs along the way.

2) Drop down into the lower part of the mines, where the oozes and worms are. Kill some of them for possible eggs while looking along the walls for static spawns.

3) Run up onto the mining car rails and run out of the mines, keeping an eye out for eggs. Once out, hop on your mount and start scouring the islands along the fringes of the main island (Netherwing Ledge). I found many of my eggs out along these islands. Work your way counterclockwise around the island until you reach the NE corner of the island.

4) Fly north to the Dragonmaw Fortress and hunt for eggs here. They can be inside of the buildings as well as up along the walls, tucked behind the standing Dragonmaw Drakeriders. They can also be down on the ground but not nearly as often. I found a LOT of eggs here, as not many players bother flying out there to find the eggs.

5) Fly back to Netherwing Ledge and scour the islands with large crystal formations on them, to the north of the main island. Work counterclockwise, covering each island.

6) Once you reach the mines again, fly north along the runway looking for eggs, then re-enter the mines and pick up from Step 1.

Granted, it took me a number of hours to get all 17 eggs in one day but it meant I could get exalted tomorrow, instead of on Tuesday. I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Comment by Reii

It is possible to "farm" the eggs. They just have a very low droprate on all mobs on Netherwing Ledge, and spawn in the egg containers.

If you want to "farm" them, there are several ways.

First, the Overmine Flayers. They are close together, are usually left alone by players (unlike the Nethermine variant), and can be chained in quick succession without player intervention. This gives them the highest time:drop ratio of the netherwing ledge mobs.

Second, Nethering Rays. They are far apart from each other, but chances are you'll come across egg containers more frequently. They are the slowest way to farm eggs, but not by much, *and* they drop motes of mana aswell, which evens it out for some wishing to combine activities.

Third, Nethermine mobs. You can get into the flayer tunnels by jumping up into them, you don't need to go all the way down the railtracks to get there. Clean the tunnels going 'downhill', past the murkblood mobs, and jump down to Toranaku. From there, you can run up towards the railtracks and repeat the route - It visually covers the entire cave, and as the egg containers are most frequently found inside the mine, this way is the fastest to "farm" the eggs, but only if there are no or little other players around doing the same.

In any case, farming them is an arduous task at best. 2 eggs per hour only happens when you've very lucky in the mines with almost no other players around, 1 egg per 60-90 minutes is what you can usually count on. Still, farming eggs is by no means an effective way to grind rep, there are more profitable and useful things you can do since the mobs drop little else than coins and gray vendor trash when not on Netherwing quests.

You should only farm them if you're, say, 500-1250 rep away from the next rep level, if you're impatient it shouldn't take too much trouble farming the eggs for that 'rep-up'. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on it regardless.

You should find enough eggs throughout your daily grind to get you through to exalted in not too much time. Don't try to farm them unless you're really close to gaining a reputation level - Especially since other people need to kill those mobs for their dailies! It is very rude just to farm the mines when you've already finished them and when there are others who still need to finish their dailies.

Also, just fly around the Ledge once in a while, eggs can be found on strange places :)

Comment by 61904

I went from neutral to exalted in a week from farming eggs. I believe I've had better luck than Reii, so it could go either way, but if you really want rep, I wouldn't say it's a bad route to take.

My tactic:

Log on, check Dragonmaw Fortress for eggs (check behind perched drakes, in the whelpling corral, the open hut, stables, etc.). Head onto the ledge after checking the little surrounding islands and complete all daily quests (checking the fortress again after doing off-site quests, such as the Nagrand one). After that, I went back into the mine and killed Nethermine Bursters and Black Blood of Draenor mobs (neither of which are needed for any quests besides crystals, which you can get killing anything, so you don't have to worry about being rude as mentioned in a previous comment). When my bags filled up, I would exit the mine to repair and sell all my junk to Gug. I'd usually make about 30 gold an hour in trash, as well as half a dozen greens (give or take). In my week of farming, I also found three rare jewelcrafting recipes.

The bloods are particularly nice. You basically get two chances at an egg since the "sludge-covered objects" can also have an egg in them. Rare, yes, but it made me feel slightly more productive with my time! I got the majority of my eggs from these mobs.

If you're killing bloods and bursters, keep an eye out for eggs on that floor. I have seen eggs in most of the little corners (where the bursters path), near sets of crates, atop the end of the tracks, and to the left of the big dragon in his holding room.

Another alternative, if you're bored and feeling social, is to farm them with a friend. I am a frost mage and my husband is an affliction warlock and we pretty much went crazy slaughtering everything on that lower floor and in under 20 minutes, I got four eggs. The faster you kill, the better your chances.

Good times to farm (though this may vary by server) are during the workday, of course, but if you're free, check weekday evenings when a lot of people who are farming this rep are busy raiding.

Lastly, the benefit to farming these eggs instead of searching for them is to not have your heart broken when someone of the opposite faction inevitably gets to an egg before you do. And laughs.

Comment by Mzbehavin

i was really lucky yesterday i found 19 eggs in various places on the ledge ontop of the mountains very obvious and in cargo trolleys, so look every where for them. i have gone from neutral to revered in 3 days so the eggs help..plus there is a quest that is rare that drop off the black oozeling guys which gives u 850 rep worth grinding for.

its worth keep ing a couple of eggs in your bank becasue when u get to that last few hundread rep you can just turn them in..

Comment by 65591

Has any herbalist and miner tried collecting these from both netherdust bushes and nethercite deposits? I'm both, and I've only ever got eggs from the nethercite veins. At the moment I just chalk it up to strange luck, but I'm wondering if there's some sort of restriction on using more than one gathering profession.

Comment by Mzbehavin

yes the eggs do come out of herbs to, rate is low i have found about 3 or 4 out of bushes but have looted at least 150, you will find it better to look for eggs, since yesterday i was revered and started yesterday morning, found 31 eggs by that night thru loot and finding eggs in all different places, started again this morning at 9.30 now 2.30 just done daily's and found 17 more eggs... total of 48 eggs now exalted...taken 5 days....Warlocks a great way to search for them with out killing mobs use your eye of kilrogg saves heaps of time.

look every guys i will try to do a small map where they spawn but you have to check the area regular as spawn time are eractic, plus i have found that an egg may spawn in a spot for a few day and not again for a few day. But keep checking, plus if you wait awhile you will find you should be offred completed daily qsts again, so u can get the higher rep ones and leave the lower rep one i found this out yesterday, also if u have a restart and done all dailies check it when you log back in some times it resets some of the quests but you dont loose the rep or gold so u can do them agian. if you work at it you can do it i got neutral to exalted less than 5 days

Comment by Endure

Best place to hunt these eggs is the Mines, also great place for crystal drops (and for miners good place for ore).

Comment by 5057

The good thing is if you're one of the newer people working on netherwing faction you'll have less competition for the eggs as for anybody exalted has no use for them since they don't bring any gold with turnins.

The bad news is you still don't have a dragon yet.

Comment by Chocopie

Don't think for one minute that you can go to Blade's Edge and pick one of those Netherwing Eggs. Those are there just for show.

Comment by jaschmidt22

Something really bizzare just happened to me as I was doing Netherwing Quests. I hadn't been able to find an Egg for a couple days now, and was getting frustrated about it. I was doing the 40 crystals quest in the mine when, lo and behold, I find an egg on the ground! I grab it, considering myself lucky.

But then...the next two guys I killed (Nethermine Flayers) BOTH dropped eggs! I got three in literally 2 minutes!

Comment by scampor

Why would you take eggs off the ground if your exalted..... Way to be a jerk.

Comment by BobTheGreat

my friend said he "egged" himself to exalted

Comment by Lasair

does anyone know what the respawn timer is on this? ive been farming eggs for my exalted and since im on a low pop server i tend to fly out there and find 4 right off the bat just sittin around. almost allways find 2 over at the fortress and then about 2 or more on the island just arround.

Comment by 117143

I have also had one drop from a sludge covered object.

Comment by archimonde

the respawn time on the eggs is 2hours depends on place and when u loot it in dragonmaw fortress it is 2 hour so i think.

Comment by 72639

as it turns out these can be found in 1 the netherwing mines and 2 the dragon maw fortress i found mine in the stables

Comment by 137740

I've seen similar looking eggs near the netherwing dragons in BEM. are these the same eggs u can turn in?

Comment by shockwaver

Addon Cartographer_treasure can help you with locations of the egg spawn points. It will mark for you locations on main map and minimap.

Comment by 61072

Can these be looted to ppl NOT doing the netherwing quests. I have an alt I am trying to get an epic flyer for and will do so soon. If I go in the mine will I be able to loot the egg?

Comment by 163888

When people are farming in the mines, always check beside the Murkblood Overseer's. I have found 5 eggs there inside 30minutes, very nice for rep!

Comment by joebob998

if i'm not mistaken, Dwarves will have the best chance at farming the Egg static spawns by virtue of their racial Find Treasure.

Comment by 128537

As a shaman, you can use your 'Far Sight' ability to look for eggs in the mine, so long as you are outside the mines when you use it. Just stand by the demon chick and cast inside the tunnel, recasting to move farther and farther in.

Comment by 129211

Just a little tip now that I think about it. It was a LOT easier for me to find eggs either really late at night (or very early in the morning, however you wish to say it). I found that if I was on like anywhere from 12:30am - 4am I could rack up quite a lot of eggs due to the fact other people were sleeping. So for those who are night owls like me, try going farming late at night.

Comment by 166037

Just from one run tonight (and my first since 3.0.2), but I spent about 15-20 minutes doing my normal dailies in the mine and had 3 of these drop just off of mobs.

Can anyone confirm that/if the drop rate on these has been buffed significantly? I haven't had one of these drop for me from a mob in about 2 weeks worth of dailies, so three in one night seems a bit extreme.

Comment by 239285

i recommens using the mines u find mor ethere then anywhere else on taht hellrock :P

Comment by 152717

Given how rare these damned things are, you'd think the netherwing dragons would've died off by now...

Comment by 271873

no cap....i got 36 yesterday. (15 hours off and on) in the cave, outside the cave, and at the camp
and have already found 9 today ...correction 10 ...11,12,13,14,15 now :p
some were drops and some were sitting on the groud.

Comment by 238049

Another handy tip when looking for eggs in the fortress area... you can tell when an egg is in either balcony tower because the glow from the egg will come out of the roof and resemble smoke. Saves time having to land and readjust the camera and you can get to other spawns quicker that way if the towers are empty. Happy Hunting!

Comment by wolfmusic

Wow, must seriously hurt to lay these eggs.

Comment by 288456

So after a few days of farming eggs, I have a few theories on how they spawn.

1) There is no cap on eggs in a day. You can get as many as you want. I literally picked up about 20 eggs yesterday, so if there's a cap, it's at least more than 20.

2) The respawn rate varies, so you can't really predict. However, I'd say it's at least an hour.

3) All eggs are on static spawn points (meaning they're in a fixed location). Therefore, I'd recommend downloading Gatherer to help you locate spawn points.

Finally, I have a theory on when the eggs respawn. All spawn points can be divided into 3 zones: Dragonmaw Fortress, Netherwing Ledge, and Netherwing Mines. It seems that there is about 2 - 3 eggs per zone. Once you extinguish the eggs in one zone, there's no more in that zone for a while (hour maybe?).

What can this mean? It means that there are about 6 eggs spawned in all 3 zones combined. When the eggs are picked up in their zone, they won't respawn again until later. Therefore, if you pick up 2 eggs in a zone, you may as well move on to another zone. If you can't find any eggs in all 3 zones, someone has probably already depleted the eggs. Do something else for an hour because you're wasting your time.

Finally, these drop off all Netherwing mobs and come off mining/herbalism nodes. The drop rate is only about 1%, but if you farm enough, you might be able to use this to your advantage.

Once again, it's a theory of mine and I make no guarantee that this is correct. If anyone can shed some insight into my theory, it'd help a lot.

Comment by Duskryn

Like what Mintyduck said above, killing the Black Blood of Draenor is a slow but good way to go. It's particularly helpful because they have a high drop rate of the Netherwing Crystals (at least, for me, they dropped much more frequently than off the Flayers suggested by the quest). So not only are you able to farm the crystals through the Bloods, but they may drop the Netherwing Egg, or the Netherwing Egg may also be contained within Sludge-Covered Object. And who knows? Maybe you'll find a couple Nethercite Ore in the Sludge-Covered Object as well.

I was lucky and found 5 Netherwing Eggs (Sorry for busting your theory, nhc150) within the mines in less than 20 minutes. I came back an hour later and only 1 egg had respawned within the mines. Perhaps this helps strengthen the theory that only one egg spawns every hour? (I had also checked the Fortress and most of the Ledge, and there were no other eggs that I could find).

Comment by 226331

Never found a single egg in the fortress in about a week of looking. I've only really found them in the mines and off of mobs in the mines.

Comment by 288311

Here are a few spawn points I've found eggs at more than once...

In Dragonmaw Fortress
68,61 in the adult drake's enclosure
67,61 in the back of a cart
69,58 in the whelpling pen

On Netherwing Ledge
71,87 by the overmine flayers
76,81 on the transporter dock

In Netherwing mines
64,87 where the friendly miners are working
65,89 in a mine cart
66,81 in the flayer room
71,84 in the flayer room
64,68 in northern end of the flayer room, around the corner
65,82 in northern end of the flayer room, north of the platform
70,88 in the ooze room
69,83 in the ooze room
72,87 in the room with the dragon

Comment by Kimack

Great stuff farming Netherwing rep now on 80
I always start in the cave doing those dailys, usually find around 2 eggs, go out do the others and then fly to dragonmaw fortress where I always find atleast 1, then take another round in the mine and find 1-2 more. So 5 eggs in around 50min, usually way some time before going into the mines again so they get time to spawn ^^

on a more hush hush note, some players have changed the model of Netherwing eggs in their game files to things like murmur or something easily locatable, though this is a direct breach of blizzard's user agreement.

Comment by nihmue

If you're a warlock, use Eye of Kilrogg to scan parts of the mine. Saves a lot of time not having to fight/shake off the mobs just to see if an egg has spawned.

that is the link to all 9 eggs laying on the ground
2-3 could be farmed while doing quests inside mine
res time 2 hours makes rep gaining more easier on low ppl servers

Comment by Ebonii

I believe the drop/spawn rate has been increased.

Fresh of server restart, I found 2 in the fortress and 5 in the mine..

Though they tend to be in places that you'd miss in a first glance. Though I did find one in a wheelbarrow near the entrance of the mine.

Comment by 339992

Something no one seems to mention is the purple smoke that comes out of the eggs, mines and herbs. Rather than looking around every corner, just look out for the purple smoke. Particularly handy in the mines, and for people who haven't seen one before.

Comment by 236322

right now i am revered and went from hated to revered in 5 days(i got the achevement today) and well i did the math with olny mineing i can get from revered to exaluted in 5 days(6 if you do not do the flight fights) so i decided to farm the eggs wile the chance is low just pull a entire room aoe everything loot mine serch the area and i shortened my 5-6days down to 3 so farming eggs is worth the time to bad i dident go neutral-revered that way

Comment by BHLimbslicer

I found that most people camp the mines in the off-hours so be sure to check around on the top of hills and on the floating isles in Netherwing Ledge if you can't find any eggs within the mines.

Comment by 348001

As of Patch 3.1, gettting this eggs is a joke. Everyone hangs out at Ulduar or at the Tournament. No one cares about the eggs, i've managed to get from neutral to revered in 4 days. So if you always wanted your Netherdrake, now it is the best chance to do so.

Comment by 341090

First off, I'm a Human Death Knight. For some reason I get 275 rep per hand in on these not 250. I'm assuming there's a reason for this but I haven't asked in case they fix a bug...

Secondly... If you farm these at the right time you can collect 15/20 in about 2 hours (assuming you're doing the dailies at the same time). I'm on The Sha'Tar server and if I hit the mine at 6:30 (about the time I get in off night shift...) I get 5 or 6 off the ground, 4/5 out of carts (once you've done that daily...) 2 or 3 from mining and 2 or 3 from killing mobs. DragonMaw Fortress drops a couple, the rocks between there and the island drop a couple, I've even found them in Dragonmaw Stronghold fairly regularly. The flayers on top of the mountain (working back down to ground level usually drop 2/3.) It's monotonous but I've got from Neutral to over half way through revered (towards Exalted) in 3 days with a combination of quests and farming.

Comment by 321602

Can anyone confirm whether or not they drop off mobs anymore? After numerous mine clears with my 80 DK and no eggs, I'm becoming doubtful.

Comment by Bethink

It would appear that Netherwing Eggs spawn in much greater number and/or frequency since Patch 3.2 is live. From two 15 minutes mine runs, I have been getting ~7 eggs per run which is way above what it used to be before the patch. (It could be pure luck, of course, but I do not believe that.)

Comment by BHLimbslicer

On 3 seperate occassions of farming eggs, I found only 6 all the times, 1 outside the mines, and 5 inside, not counting mob drops. This leads me to believe that only 6 eggs can spawn at any one time, any confirmation on this?

Comment by 291540

Well, as an 80 Blood/Unholy DK with Deadly/Furious gear, Black Ice and Frost Presence, I'm consistently getting about 1 egg per 3 (big) pulls; which is MUCH faster than my previous attempts at flying around looking for them on the ground.

My suggestion is to pull a whole bunch of them, AoE them down, and hopefully get an egg... I've been at it for 30 mins now and have 5 eggs, so I figured this was definitely worth mentioning for all you 80's out there that want that sexy Drake.

Best of luck :)

Edit: While typing this, I just got attacked by a flayer. Lo and behold, after alt-tabbing and killing it, he dropped another egg XD

Comment by 337116

First of all sorry for my bad english:
Done it all the way to exalted in less than 48 hours in a medium populated server but saw only 10 or so people during that time doing those quests while I was there. Human racial helped a lot.
The tip as indicated in previous comments was to look for eggs like mad, this video shows the route I took: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2rumkxSmhrQ

Oh and I can confirm that rule about being only 6 eggs at the same time is not true, I collected more than 8 in less than 20 minutes twice.
I had minning but after filling an entire bag of 32 slots with that inutile ores and not finding a single egg I stopped looking for them and just concentrate on eggs. They also drop from time to time if you kill mobs.

Comment by sirmarzipan

While I was doing this rep, I only had one drop off of a Flayer while doing the daily. I also only ever got one egg from Nethercite. And I can tell you that there is no cap on how many eggs can be spawned at once, I've had over 10 in a span of 10 minutes.

Comment by 306645

Has ANYONE mentioned WHERE to turn these in?

Comment by Zefyrus

I'm dealing with awful respawn time, patch 3.2.2 ; anyone else to confirm this? I've been farming from 04:00 to 08:00.

Comment by 462789

Is there a typical place that the egg spawns....with the sons of hodir they had the everfrost chips that usually spawned under trees. So do the eggs spawn in any special place?

Comment by silkfire

Yes the eggs spawn at certain places and you need to learn where as you follow a certain route. There's a great YouTube video where this guys shows you the spots. Search for "netherwing egg" on YouTube.

And the respawn time is fast, around 5 minutes. Check who else is in the same zone (/who shadowmoon). If you see other 80s then they might most certainly be taking your eggs.

Comment by 477326

I'd reccomend farming these in the early morning, ive went from hated to revered in 3 days of just 3-4 hours of dailies and some flying around in between, got about 50 eggs so far, every place seems to be great now, I pulled a mob in the mines and AoE'd and ended up with 5 eggs, was like :') so happy lol

Comment by 484104

hi i have download: Cartographer_Treasure.and it says depedency missing ? help

Comment by 479450

I spent today farming them, and got 17, got 3 on the surface, 4 in the mines, 5 mining drops, 4 in the stronghold, and 1 drop from a flayer... pretty easy to find once you get used to where they spawn, make sure to check behind the perched dragons in the towers, and i've gotten about ten from the stables/dragon hatchery/dilapidated hut on the trail up the mountain in the fortress.

also note: its 275 xp an egg, not 250

Comment by 492781

I'e been farming these eggs for 3 days now, collecting 10 - 15 eggs a day. IDK if it's because of alow populated server or if it's just luck. Search the mine, check where the den mother is (the flayer) found 3 eggs just by her alone.

Comment by Aenonar

Got neutral to exalted in only 2 days on my 70 shaman back in BC by picking up tons of eggs, thought I'd give it another try now in WotLK with my warrior, but didn't see a single egg anywhere? Did they reduce the spawn rate on ground eggs and increase it on drops instead? Or did I just happen to come minutes after someone looted the lot?

Edit: Seems like I might be mistaken, just found 7 on the ground on the next lap some days later. *probably* wont do another marathon, but doing all those annoying grinding quests a 4th time just doesn't sound like fun ;> A treasure hunt sounds a little bit more interesting at least ^^

Comment by csd18

There are eggs on these coordinates:

60.9 , 77.2

65.6 , 76.2

70.8 , 75.2

75.3 , 75.7

71.9 , 64.6

74.0 , 83.0

75.0 , 87.9

69.6 , 89.9

72.7 , 92.1

I would have placed it upon a map but i don't know how is needed.

Comment by 147498

I guess I'm not as lucky as some. I started 3 days ago (doing an hour a day) on dailies for a netherdrake. I've had less than 10 eggs spawn in that time. I've had 2 from mobs, the rest I found in the mines. The nice thing is they are noticable from a distance, because of the "steam" coming from them.

Comment by 551153

2 words: Murkblood miners. i just killed 6 and got 3 eggs.

Comment by 560992

Just finished with exalted status on Netherwing. Started around thursday or friday and finished at monday. So in short, you can get from hated to exalted in 4-5 days if you want, meaby even faster. Its really important to know exact spawn places, if you want to get exalted in days.

It really seems that the spawn rate of the eggs is really random, sometimes you get 8 eggs in 20min, sometimes just 1-2 in one hour.

- Happy owner!

Comment by 228364

I'll recommend looking for these in the flyer area in the mines. Last time I went there doing my dailies I returned to the surface with 6 eggs

The "Environment Detail" Slider under "video" in the game menu, is you're friend, give it lots of tasty data to eat, and like a sniffer lizard, it will point out eggs by allowing them to be seen farther away
Try not to drop them into a smoldering volcano crater and cook them, the netherwing don't like people eating their unhatched young.
Note: This tip is mostly for laggy'r players using slowish comps. as otherwise you'll likely have it turned up anyway

Another thing to note: the changes involving the trading of soulbound items dosen't apply to these. I found out the hard way when I grouped with someone for the dalies. He looted an egg, we both rolled, I won. When I tried to give it back to him, I got the "soulbound Items cannot be traded" message. He seemed bummed, so I gave him 50g in compensation.

Eggs can be found in high volume and can spawn literally anywhere. Over the course of 3 days I've found 11 eggs without any significant farming or change to my daily routine, each one no more than 5-10 minutes apart and all on the island. Just remember to check in corners and deeper areas of the mine, as the majority of eggs will be found as "chests". While you're outside of the mine, look on top of mountains and in crystal clusters. If you're a miner/herbalist, open up as many Nethercite Nodes or Netherdust Bushes as possible. Don't be afraid to fight a few mobs, at level 80 they can be dispatched quickly.

Obviously luck does have a large play in finding eggs, but even just a quick jog through all parts of the mine can yield some surprises.

Comment by 556552

I suspect there's some growing queue of eggs that builds up over 4 hours or so.

I showed up at around 4AM ST and started my dailies in the mines. I got eight eggs in one trip through the mines, 4-5 from spawn points, the rest from mobs. The spawn points were literally one after another by the flayers and murkbloods... clear a room, loot the eggs. Clear the next room, loot the eggs.

Turned it all in, then went to do the above ground quests. Tried the overmine nethers--killed them almost two times over: no drops. Though I got that severed hand quest at least. Found a couple eggs on the crystal islands. Went to Dragonmaw Fortress, found 2 more. Came back and turned em in. Perhaps 30 minutes have elapsed at this point with 12 eggs found. Decided to have two more runs through the mines and another 30+ minutes of flying around, only got a couple more drops from mine mobs. Got bored, logged.

So yes, that was 14+ eggs in an hour or so, mostly front loaded. Given that, I don't recommend farming for more than an hour at a time. Just show up at a weird hour, do a couple runs around, loot the eggs that are probably already spawned, kill some mobs, and then go about your business. Don't bother waiting for egg respawns.

Comment by 558249

Personally in my opinion the overmine flayers are the best place to farm these.They have a decent droprate and the hill where they are on has about 4 egg spawn points.

Comment by 613710

These eggs are pretty hard to find at first if you do not know the common locations for these eggs, there are some main places to check first:

1. in the mine itself, make a run through it completely check all side chambers and make sure you get a good look inside they tend to be hidden very well in some nooks all the way in the back. also pay attention to the mining carts, since you can only see the top spikes of the eggs when they are in one they tend to look like regular collectible mining carts. somthing i notice also is that you can see the eggs before you see the mining carts and that is confusing leading some people to walk around in circles looking for the egg they saw in the distance.

2. there are some chunks of land floating on the south side off netherwing ledge, i'd suggest checking those, so far i've found 1 each time i've checked them. there is a large chunk where a Npc called Okaos the Insane walks around in circles, with 2 clusters off crystal on (its hard to miss with this description) where i find most of my eggs on these chunks of land.

3. Dragonmaw Fortress has some eggs to offer as well. check all around this is a tough one since for some computers the general landscape is already visible from far, but the actual details (npc's, scenery and collectible spawns) only load and show once you get close! on slower computers this is worse so take this into account when looking here. i find that the only egg I've seen outside is on a cart right at the entrance (I'll upload a clear image off this egg as soon as i get one again), the rest were all inside the actual fortress further in the back of this stronghold. Other eggs were placed behind the dragonmaw drake-riders, generally the ones perched on a platform infront of a little hut behind him, they put the eggs inside this hut, so they aren't visible from far or close without an intentional look through!

thats all the info i have for now, I'll continue uploading clear and detailed images of each egg i find.

Comment by Allakhazam

Originally I thought this was total BS. However,after watching the video, I was able to get 14 and then 22 eggs on my last 2 days. After wracking out 15k rep in 2 days, if your willing to farm your butt off it can be done in 4 or 5 days.

Comment by Allakhazam

i did this at the wrong moment i am 2k from exalted now... i found an awesome way as a hunter to farm netherwing eggs. As a hunter stand on the tracks in the mine where you can either go down to the bloods or up to the flayers stand there and use eyes of the beast and run your pet through the flayer room then when its done feign death call pet then go to the murkblood miner area and check there, then go to the start of the mines. if you see one use traps feign deaths concussive shots and wing clips to get to where they were and well loot it. This is most effective when noone is around obviously but it works very well because your pet runs faster than the flayers. And this way you dont have to worry about dieing trying to run around for eggs just your pet dies is worst case scenario but with the new mend pet its easy to res and repeat.

Comment by Allakhazam

I paid a friend 5g to pull the guards away from the egg so I could loot it. 5g no repair bills. GG guys this guy got 250 rep =D

Comment by Allakhazam

doesn't give that much rep, hardly worth trying to farm for.

Comment by Allakhazam

when i do the dailys i find about5-8 eggs jsut from mobs/ground spawns

Comment by Allakhazam

Any idea how much to sell one for? After an hour and half of criss crossing Netherwing Ledge looking for nodes, after being feared off a node into a bunch of mobs twice (while the alli warlock helped himself to the node), I'm at 30/40 ore. This my first and last attempt at netherwing rep, I shudder at thought repeating this 10 times a day till exalted.

I was more interested by the trinket than the mount (Being a druid I can get epic flight form), but anyway I found an egg and want to AH it. I know price varies server to server, but can anyone give me a general idea?

Comment by Allakhazam

Ive got from neutral to about 16k revered in 3 days handed in literally 40-50 eggs, watch utube vids they help ALOT

Comment by Allakhazam

the droprate on these is TERRIBLE! been grinding netherwing rays now for 3½ hours and only gotten 2 drops! this netherdrake business is gonna take a looong time :(

Comment by Allakhazam

Got my drake in 5 days u can even get it in 4 if u grind hard. i mean really hard. Getting ur drake depends on how much u grind. Do dailies and also watch the videos on youtube that shows all spawn points of those eggs that will help a lot believe me. You will have to spend hours in that cave ofc help of a friend will make it easier.

Comment by Allakhazam

@ Lorie - You're dead wrong. It is possible to become exalted in 4-5 days with the aid of netherwing eggs. Please do some research before disheartening all these readers. It can be done, has been done, and I will be exalted tomorrow...my fifth day.

I gather approximately 20-30 eggs per day. I log on early in the morning and check all spawn points...and YES there are exact spawn points. I always begin at the Dragonmaw Base Camp, then circle all high points of Netherwing Ledge, then the small floating islands that produce crystals, then I pick up quests and head to the mine. While questing in and out of the mines, I'll also fly back to the Base Camp every hour and pick up 2 more eggs.

The eggs have a low drop rate from Flayers and the blobs ("slime encrusted object"), as well as from mines and bushes. Check everywhere in the mine, there are many spawn points.

Youtube has some excellent videos that show you exact spawn points. You CAN make it in 5 days without much of a fuss. Don't pay any attention to someone telling you it is impossible, I have done it with no huge effort.

naja^^

Comment by Allakhazam

After the initial egg turn in, which I recall being 75 rep, the next one was 250 for me. I also got mine in the mine on the ground. They are sometimes there on rare occasion in the beginning before any mobs, free 250 rep when it's there :D

Comment by Allakhazam

I found a new place where you can find netherwing eggs.
It is in Blade's edge mountains. the coordinates are 64.77
Sorry was wrong can't get those eggs..

Comment by Allakhazam

After 9 days and finaly hitting exalted, these are the following places I found eggs myself. Several in mining (along with a few blue gems :D ), only had 2 drop for myself the whole time =\ I found a lot of ground spawns though, 2 on the dock (where those 2 elietes gaurd), one just south east of the dock in a groove, a few in the mines, one in the end room of the flayers (where you can jump off to get back to the exits), 2 on the bridges in the middle, one in the lower pit. I also found a lot of them in the dragonmaw fort, cupple inside the buildines themselfs. A few were outside the buildings on the ground, and I even found some by the flying orcs who were just roosting.

Comment by Allakhazam

these eggs are not that hard to find, if you hunt for them for a few hours you should find around 15-20 eggs easy which is about 3,750 to 5,000 rep points, if you just take the time and grind it out you should be exalted in about 4 days

Comment by Allakhazam

I got 4 eggs today, the first was in the mine on the ledge behind the wheel in the room where the big netherdrake is, the second i found outside on a hill while flying around looking for mines. The big stream of particle effects coming off the top made it easy to spot. The next 2 i found while mining nethercite, first swing on 2 mines in a row! Havent got any dropped, doesnt look like they have a very good drop rate. My wife is gonna try to see if they can be found in the Netherdust bushes too.

The first turn in is worth 350 rep, it counts towards one of the daily quests, and you get like 18g reward. When you turn in more eggs they are 250 rep, they do not count towards the daily quests, and you dont get a reward except the rep.

Update: yes they can also be found while picking Netherdust bushes on the island

Comment by Allakhazam

I have found just over 20 eggs so far. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. I have found them in bushes, spawns on the ledge (mainly on the peaks), the surrounding islands, ground spawns in the mine, and killing various monsters on the ledge. Also, I have found them at the dragonmaw camp on the mainland of shadowmoon valley.

Comment by Allakhazam

can anyone post Coordinates of where the eggs are OUTSIDE the mine? I can't find any. Also are they trackable on your minimap?

Comment by Allakhazam

Count yourself lucky.

I've only gotten 4 eggs since starting on the Netherwing rep: 3 from mobs and 1 from ground spawn.

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone have any idea of a respawn on eggs? Iv been farming them every day after my quests are done and usualy pull in about 5+ a night. Iv began to see a pattern where eggs seem to spawn in 3s then none spawn for a while. Tonight i got 3 eggs in about 5 mins in the mine (using pet to explore). When i decided none were left i flew my egg path outside and saw none at any of the dragonmaw spawns or on any peaks/islands.

Anyone else think that there could be a possible max spawn per hour or something of eggs?

Comment by Allakhazam

I grinded rep mainly from eggs. Neutral to exalted in less then 4 days (once i found 12 eggs in 1 lucky hour). Now iam selling eggs for 50g and ppl buying it.

Comment by Allakhazam

For all of you "5 day" lightning rep-gainers, I call BULL.

There's no way. To get from Neutral to Exalted, it's a grand total of 42,000 rep.

How many eggs do you figure that took, at 250 each (after the initial 350, of course.)

Assuming Friendly & halfway to Honored was made in the first day, Revered by the third, and Exalted by the fifth, you couldn't earn more than 7600-8500 rep (roughly) from the dailies, total. That leaves the one-shot quests (which add up to a rough total of 7700 rep, if you can do all of them), for a total of, high side, say 16,200 rep.

At that point, you would have to find enough eggs to make up 25,800 rep. Or to put it in perspective, about 103 eggs, total.

Sorry, I really have to call bull on that.

Can someone post Coordinates on where eggs are OUTSIDE the mine? I have no idea how to find them. can they be Tracked?

Got one from mining the Nethercite deposits.

except you can do all the previous quests from other rep levels as well... no need to hold onto them, turn them in when you get them.

Comment by Thottbot

Eggs are a Pain in the arse, if you are looking for them directly you are going to waste a lot of time...
OF COURSE look for them, but look for them as you are killing. Look for them right before you race a Wingcommander *hint, hint*. But continue grinding the kills, I hit exalted sunday morning at 4 am'ish, by not dropping everything to look for egg spawns. I killed stuff, I MINED ooo Mining is good for eggs, and I kept an eye out on known egg spawns. On Bloodhoof this is CRAZY right now, big server lots of people.. and we lost a day on the rep grinding due to the patch taking out server off line till about 10pm EST. It can be done, check EVERYWHERE, anyplace that you are in fel orc mode, is a likely spot for an egg to be, a mine to be, or a bush to be. Always gather!

farm late @ night in the mines. when u start seeing less morons around u know it is ur turn. keep killing the slimes and the other foes for anything they can give and eggs will start poping as well simple as that. eggs pop in many places even the aerial railway tracks... u just have to be the first one around them. u can carry many eggs and the quest is not daily. can be repeated as many times as u need.

Comment by Thottbot

Here are the coordinates for a number of eggs that I've found. Hope it helps you grind your netherwing rep a bit faster. Keep in mind that while these are specific coordinates, a lot of the time you're just going to stumble across eggs while you do other things. Farming them can be tough, just keep your eyes open all the time for them. Also, it never hurts to do some farming at 3-4AM ;)

Dragonmaw Camp on Mainland:
69.4, 63.8 (top of building)
70.9, 62.6 (upper level of zuluhed's building)
68.1, 59.7 (up in tower by dragon rider)
67.2, 61.4 (wagon in mainland camp)
(Note: there are eggs in each of the four watchtowers in the camp, and eggs in most of the large rooms in the compound).

Netherwing Ledge:
66.9, 91.5 (edge of shelf, behind crystals)
68.2, 94.6 (on island on south of shelf)
65.5, 84.8 (right in camp, by racers)
68.1, 81.8 (on top of hill)
78,83 (side of cliff, down in a little crevace)
66,91 (don't remember, first egg I found)
65,84 (on top of crystal)
71.5, 86.5 (on top of mountain, by den mother)
77.4, 85.8 (on top of mountain)
63.4, 82.8 (on ground, beneath crystal)
(Note: there is also one egg at least, maybe two on the landing platform guarded by the two big ascendants. It can't be gotten without pulling aggro, so find someone to run interception for you. Also, there are eggs on a lot of the islands floating around the main ledge, look around by the crystal formations.)

Netherwing Mine:
68,85 (in mine)
74.3, 87.2 (in mine)
72.6, 88.6 (in mine)
64.2, 86.8 (Entrance of mine)
74.6, 88.4 (Near crazed guys)
69.1, 88.3 (bottom of ramps in big room)
64.6, 87.3 (mine entrance, right by a box)
75.2, 86.5 (in mine, flayer area, back in cove)
71.1, 80.9 (in mine, by flayers)
66.9, 82.0 (in mine, by waterwheel)

To those of you farming rep: good luck. To those of you that are going to %^&*! about how more people are going to be farming eggs now: piss off.

Do these show up on the map if a Dwarf has the "Find Treasure" racial on?

Edit: Just found an egg, it sadly dosen't show up on the map. :(

Comment by Thottbot

What I did that made it easier on me was I googled a map of netherwing ledge and printed it out. Then I colored little black dots where the possible spawn points are for the eggs along with there loc. It makes it easier on the eyes if you're more of a visual learner. :P

Hope that helps.

Comment by Thottbot

Because I am now 'a few eggs from exalted' and 'Me Not That Kind of Orc' I will share my Netherwing Egg revelation with you...
I believe, THERE ARE ONLY FEW EGGS (1..4) and they keep spawning all the time in different locations. It is a kind of 'HIDE AND SEEK' GAME - you find one egg and then the egg is spawned at another place. You find it again and again it spawns in different place.
Depending how many people are grinding eggs, there are two different strategies:
In the small hours, when there are few people, you would better keep checking all spawn places because the chance that you will find the next spawn is reasonable.
In the crowded hours, I suggest, you patrol one of the areas (the surface of Netherwing Ledge, the mine and Dragonmaw Fortress) because there is a great chance that someone will find the next egg-spawn before you in the other two areas.
In my opinion, when all people realise that the EGG IS THE KEY TO GAIN NETHERWING REPUTATION QUICKLY and all start actively seeking eggs (everyone in his area) then there will be less time the eggs stay 'hidden', there will be 'more' eggs for everyone and everyone will get his/her Nether Drake much quicker.

Man, it must hurt to lay those things.

Comment by Thottbot

I finally had a nice day or two of farming eggs successfully. Found my first in the Dragonmaw area right inside of the wagon, a second inside the tower where Zulumed approaches. I've farmed approx 25 now inside the mines in about a full two days of playing. tough part is this, while i'm down in the mines fighting, you either have people wait so that they can walk up and ninja your eggs, or, all the dam rogues that i've seen who stealth into the immediate area of the egg, and if they know they can't take the mob out by themselves, they'll let someone approach, clear half the mob, they'll take out the last one or two and then jump on the egg.

As for me, i'm a hunter, and came up with a dam good idea of scouting out the mines without having too much of a hassle. i usually stand on the small bridge right in front of the main area filled with flayers and ravagers. Not only does an egg spawn right there, but then i use my ability to see through the eyes of my cat, put him in stealth, and have him run down one direction scoping out the area for eggs. if they detect him, no biggy, just use his dash ability and he's off like a bolt. by the time you're done, he'll be too far away to come back on his own, so you'll have to call him once again, but be careful. i did this once or twice and the second i summoned my cat, i had about 40 pissed off ravagers and flayers head my way. now what i do is i either stealth myself or feign death the second the ability wears off, i wait about 10 seconds, and call my cat and do the same thing but send him down the opposite side of the mine.

Good part is, the area i stand in continues to spawn eggs, approx 1 an hour, and from using my cat to prowl around i found about 10 more over the course of the first day. once i see one, i start fighting my way through and keep my humanoid tracking on to make sure there's no one in the area, so, i can either take a little extra time and be careful or i'll know if i have to haul a$$. the mines seem to be far more consistent as far as the spawns IMO. the dragonmaw camp is too easy for anyone and everyone to fly through, check it once, grab anything around. the mines actually require work, so most people will back off. for me, i've gotten to revered exremely fast now because of the eggs, doing all the dailies, and of course, the dragon races which were a lot of fun.
Not only will you be able to do the crystal and hide collections, you'll eventually get the quest to pick up the crates, another that requires you to kill approx 15 flayers and ravagers, so they all go hand in hand, plus, awesome money from selling all that knothide.

Comment by Thottbot

I'm working on my 3th Netherwing at the moment (Hardest imo)

1. Hunter (Beast Master)
Easy as pie, the combination of quick attacks (More loot so more Eggs) and mining (Multiples Eggs from veins) made this real easy to rep. for.

2. Druid (Was Balance.. But respecced Feral)
Not as easy as the Hunter but with skinning I got an additional quest for rep. (No eggs from skinning though, those are nodes only) And stealthing to eggs is also nice (As long as you don't go in combat as you can't loot in combat)

3. Paladin (Retri)
It's hell, enough said, I have herbalism so I can still get eggs that way (In my case 1 in every 500 Pollen X) and an additional quest. In a cave you can even walk to an egg because killing takes so long the egg will be looted far before you are done :))

Egg hunting, there are lots outside.. But.. As some of us have seen.. Blizz likes to tease us ;) One of the eggs is on/just below the NorthEast landing platform guarded by 2 Elites. Don't try alone.. And beware.. A roaming Elite passes by ;)

Comment by Thottbot

a hell of a boring q only thing i got to say.... best way to get rep though

Comment by Thottbot

I must say, if I time my day right to play WoW during the late night and do my NW dailies within that time slot, I can find an average of 6 eggs per quest session, excluding those that drop from mobs/herbs.

For those that want to go egg farming, I highly recommend the Gatherer mod to record all of the egg locations so that you can check them out whenever you go back to Netherwing Island. Remember to check out all of the floating islands around the main island.

Happy hunting!

Comment by Thottbot

Ok I have noticed that the eggs respawn on the hour to fifteen minutes past the hour. There seem to be about 2-4 egg spawns above the mine and up to 4 in the mine. They can respawn in any of the dozen or so spawn locations. Like people have said here, check all the peaks and floating islands. At the Dragonmaw outpost check all the towers, the room to the left and right of dragon you had to set free, check the nursery, the blacksmith, the stables, the little cart by the entrance, and the house with the caved in roof. Those are the general spawn points with the best results. Its not hard to get this rep up, 3 and half days at lvl 72 and I have less than 10k rep till exhaulted. GL!

Comment by Thottbot

To add to the coords people are posting, the eggs usually spawn on or NEAR the coords. Three days in a row I found an egg near some of the coords but not exactly on the coords. When I do my daily sweep, I go to my own known spawn sites and usually find the egg around that general vicinity but not exactly where I found it before.

The same goes for the mines. I find an average of 3-4 eggs in the mines daily, but they are never in the same spots.

The bottom line: Use the coords as a general map but don't rely heavily on them. Spawn sites are random so it will take a little work on your part to find them.

Comment by Thottbot

If you are doing this at lvl 80 like me, kill everything along the way while you are doing these mine quests. I cleared the bottom level of the mine twice and got 4 of these as drops, and 2 as spawns while I was killing them. They can drop from any mob in there and most are 2 or 3 hit kills, but the black bloods dropped the most for me.

Comment by Thottbot

I believe it may be of use to know that the add-on 'Gatherer' will track not only nodes you find for Nethercite Ore or Netherdust Pollen, but also wherever you've found Netherwing Eggs.

The only downside to this is that you're unable to tell if the Netherwing Egg you found was in the mines or was above ground by looking at the icons the add-on places on your mini-map.

Regardless, I suggest this add-on for any gatherer profession, and it definitely couldn't hurt in your quest for finding Netherwing Eggs, Especially since the Netherwing Eggs can be looted from Nethercite Ore and Nethercite Pollen.

Happy Hunting!

Comment by Thottbot

hint: get the addon Gatherer - marks where and when you found the eggs! Great for herbalists and other gatherers, uses a rotating map on your screen to show you where the nearest node is. When I'm in Netherwing looking for eggs, I use a gatherer function that lets me only look for past egg spawn points, and not all types of nodes. Really helpful!

Comment by Thottbot

Hey you dont have to worry about tracking coords!

I installed GatherMate
in the preferences menu, "Netherwing Egg" is listed under a trackable "treasure" item.
Go to import data, select "treasure" and click "Import GatherMate..."
Now i have all the known locations of the Eggs right on my map!

i just got exalted with netherwing today and i am stuck i did not recieve a mount so does anyone have any answers as to what i do next? I have looked online & can't find what to do now.

Comment by Thottbot

You need to go to Shattrath lower city -- the vendor for the drakes is there where the drakes are "parked." You can pick one for free once you're Exalted.

Comment by Thottbot

I've done this now with four toons and my advice is to first make the rounds at the fortress and at the shelf outside of the mines to look for eggs. Then pick up the dailies and do them. Then, you can hunt for eggs as often as you can stand. Do the dailies while hunting for eggs, obviously. I haven't seen more than two eggs at the fortress yet. In fact, there seems to be two egg spawns at any given time at the various locations. When I do my daily netherwing grind, and I get there when no one's been there for a few hours, I find a total of eight eggs fairly effortlessly. Two at the fortress, two on the shelf, two in the common area of the mine, two on the floor of the mine. That generally translates in to, roughly, 5000 rep points per day and the possibility of another 1000 or 2000 with more eggs if you come back a couple times per day. It took three days to get to revered.

I avoid the races because they are just too much like work. If you like that kind of thing, have fun. Personal experience has shown me, though, that I can get more rep points by some egg hunting. I did the races once on the first toon and that was enough. There's a reason why egg hunting is the most popular: it's easy rep. But, again, do the dailies and hunt eggs at the same time before hunting for eggs alone.

each day i do the dailies i can generally get about 3 eggs no matter how much time i put into searching for them idk if other pplz are sneaking through and getting them without me noticing cuz i never see any one on the floating isle.. every now and then i get 4. usually 1 out side and rest are in same spots as in the cave with the nethermind flayers and such

I had barely hit honored just before this Memorial Day weekend when I went out of town. Before then I had never seen a single egg and only came across them as a mob drop or herb gathering. I got back into town Sunday night, got settled, hopped on and found 5 or 6. Then Monday I only found a couple, chalking it up to a spot of luck, but then yesterday (Tuesday) I found 5 or 6 again, and along with random drops I turned in 10 in one day. Now today I only have to do a few dailies (not even all) to get exhalted, and I didn't even do the last two races. Also I never really spent time egg hunting per say, just looking while doing other stuff. So I made it through honored and almost all of revered in three days, capping it off on the fourth.

The eggs are definately worth keeping an eye out for, just don't stress over them or spend too much time on it.

Ive been farming for about 2 full days now and have gotten roughly 30 eggs and i dont have herbalism or mining...and have not had luck in the fortress or the island my advice THE MINES that is the money maker ive found atleast 7 a day in there just pulling off the ground and not killing mobs i personally say kill the black bloods they drop fairly often and the sludge covered objects can give eggs too so techincally speaking you can get 2 eggs off one kill but DO THE RACES to it is well worth it and beat Skyshatter not to hard watch some Youtube vids on it and youll be able to do since im human i got 1100 rep from just the skyshatter race good luck to all farming and hope you get your drake

You might care to download my Netherwing Eggs AddOn from: Curse (TBC & Retail)

No fuss. Don't waste your time feeding coordinates into some other AddOn. I've done the work for you. A helpful YouTube video is included on the download page!

(Often times I get voted down for mentioning my helpful AddOns. All I'm doing is being helpful. The AddOn is simple and saves time and stress)

These still drop off the NPCs in the area while you're in a raid. They are also an occasional loot off the slimy object from those blobs in the cave. The cave is the best place to loot them at. I just did the rest of revered there one day after I did my dailies while waiting in raids for rated battlegrounds.

It would be smart to horde the eggs in your inventory and then turn all of them in at once with the Darkmoon Faire +10% rep bonus buff.

And wtf is with the slow poke flight back to Shattrath after you're done? No dialogue or anything.

All I see is eggs now. When I sleep, I see eggs. Everything is eggs. But I have my drake already. So it's ok.

Respawn time for these eggs is 1 hour!
They're part of a spawn pool, which ensures the locations are randomized (within a fixed set of locations, which you can find with addons like "Gatherer").

For whatever reason, these also drop from Netherspite, in Karazhan. It's a long walk to get there though...

The best time to hunt for eggs is at night during the week, as there will be a lot less players about. I didn't farm mobs spesifically for the eggs, but I had a few drop as I worked through the mines.

There seems to be about 3 hour re-spawn on these. Found 6 eggs in the mines around 3am, 6 more at 6am and then a couple at around 9am, but I didn't get all as other players had arrived. With a couple of loot drops and some egges found outside, I ended up with 18 eggs in one night (4500rep). I wouldn't say it's worth it to farm them, but if you have the time to check around at night, then it's a bit of extra rep.

Never found any around the fortress, but I was probably not checking the right spots/unlucky with respawn time
