You’re not the only one who stores the damn things–I finally hauled about a half-dozen (plus the Easter version that turn people into bunnies) out of my bank before a raid a couple of months ago and burned through them while we were buffing up.
Felwood: north of Ashenvale, through the middle part. There’s one flight point in the south, and one in the north.
Winterspring: entered via a tunnel in the north of Felwood. You might need to get rep with the Furlbog who live in the tunnel before you can run through it without dying. Do the quests for the friendly Furlbog in Felwood if the ones in the tunnel try to kill you. The FP is just outside of Everlook, a goblin town, which is pretty much in the middle of the zone.
Silithus: Southwesternmost zone in Kalimdor… I think you come down through Ferelas. The FP is at Cenarion Hold, in the middle of the northern third or so of the zone.
You don’t need to show up “decked out”–just with the basic level of gear that’s required for the raids you want to do. For Naxx, that means at least being out of greens, in Heroic blues and as many epics as you can manage (whether crafted, from Heroics, or from badges). For Ulduar or ToC, yeah, that means Conquest and Triumph badge gear, and/or gear from earlier raids.
A lot of this is going to be because Prot Paladins are hands-down the best tanks right now. Holy Paladins are also currently excellent tank healers.
The Auberdine flight master is in a little platform just south of the inn. The pier connects directly to the inn, so after you get off a boat, come (east) down the pier to the inn, come to the ground floor of the inn, then turn right (south), and run out the side and up onto the platform directly south of the inn. The FM is right up on that uncovered platform.
Any flight master you haven’t talked to yet will have a bright green **! **over their head, and a bright green **! **will show up on your minimap. You can also set your tracking to Flight Master on your minimap, which will put a yellow dot over any FM, not just the ones you haven’t talked to yet.
No green ! means you’ve talked to that FM before.
The two flight points there are Theramore (Alliance) and Mudsprocket (neutral). Theramore is at the end of the peninsula that loops down into the ocean–I think you’ve been there before. Mudsprocket is in the southwest, and is a neutral town.
You can only talk to each candy bucket once. Also, make sure you’re talking to a candy bucket next to an Innkeeper–those are the only ones that give you rewards.
Eat G.N.E.R.D.s, and then while you have the buff, get an HK (honorable kill). Note that it doesn’t have to be a killing blow–you just have to get HK credit. Battlegrounds are a great place to do this–but build up a stack of candy before you go in, because you’ll have to reapply the buff after you die.
Good call. When I started my grind, there **was **no other option–it was quest chain + dailies or nothin’. You might want to look into doing the dailies anyway, though, at least once in a while–most of them don’t take too long, they’re in a concentrated area, and they give you good money. If I weren’t still so ungodly sick of them from grinding them every day for weeks on end, I’d probably be doing them myself.
And the people who could hear were in vent, while I got the current strat relayed to me in text. (I hadn’t read up since I didn’t think I’d BE running.)
