Guardian of Cenarius

Cenarius: "Let's just be friends...."

Cenarius would be far too horny to just be friends...

Got this achievement yesterday (I'm a druid so I felt it almost mandatory) :)

When I started, I was around Level 73 or so and (just barely) Honored with both CE and CC.

I did CE first, backtracking to Outland and doing all their quests there (mainly Blade's Edge and Netherstorm, having already done Zangarmarsh) and the DEHTA quests in Borean Tundra. Once finished, this put me into Revered. From there, I did nothing but Nesingwary Ear turn-ins with DEHTA. Initially I did the Minions of Kaw mobs (just east of Amber Ledge, where the road forks) as they were grouped tightly together. However- and this is the biggest point of advice for anyone doing this Acheievement- if you are still leveling, do not grind the Kaw mobs. Instead, go after the Northsea mobs east of Farshire. They are not as tightly grouped, but there are more of them and they respawn quickly. The reason I recommend grinding them instead? The Minions of Kaw only seem to grant about 100 or so XP per kill when you are in your mid-70's. The Northsea mobs are anywhere from 1000-2000 XP (at 76 I was usually getting about 1100 per kill). I leveled from 75 to 77 solely from grinding all the Northsea mobs. Having said this, if you are already 80, the Minions of Kaw probably will yield a faster kill rate, so if leveling isn't a concern, then by all means go after them.

CC was easy, compared to the long CE grind. Don't bother diddling around with all the other quests, just kill Twilight mobs and turns in Encrypted Texts. While you are killing them, you may as well do the first few Abyssal Crest summons, as they will yield some nice Reputation, but the repeatable ones afterward scale back to 150 each, whereas the Encrypted Text turn-ins stay at 500 all the way to Exalted. It took me maybe 3 to 4 hours of casual grinding to hit Exalted. Of course, keep your eye out for a Twilight Prophet, as they drop anywhere from 7-10 texts (ie. an instant boost of 500 rep). As for getting to Silithus, I have not yet gone to Sholazar, so I used the CoT portal in Dalaran and then mounted to Gadgetzan and caught the Flight Path.

Very happy to be done- now back to questing. All in all, not a challenging grind at all, just time consuming (mainly with CE). But, I would encourage every Druid to get it, even if just for show.

Happy grinding!
