You’ve been following Mandorall’s great tips to earn Wow gold fast, when you noticed in your quest log that it says “2/10 daily quests”. Surely, you’ll tell yourself, that must mean there are other of these so-called daily quests out there, and it could make gold even easier! His next thought is obviously “Come on, Mandorall!” Why didn’t you mention this before? Well, I’m here to rectify this monstrous omission on the part of our dust-covered, moth-eaten paladin friend.

In the west of the Blade Edge Mountains there is an area that can only be accessed with a flying mount. This area, directly west of Sylvanaar, is The Vortex Pinnacle, home of the mythical Ogri’la Ogres (Good Ogres, and a little brighter than average, which isn’t saying much, I know). If you’re wondering why these ogres are any good, well you’re barking up the wrong tree, as I couldn’t care less about World of Warcraft lore, there’s gold to be made here!

The Ogri’la, like the Skyguards mentioned by Mandorall, are a rich source of daily quests. Also, they are associated with the Skyguards. A Skyguard outpost sits just 100 meters north of Ogri’lla’s main compound, and it also offers daily quests! But that is not all! The Skyguards offer a direct flight from their Blade’s Edge Mountains outpost to the Blackwind Landing base on Skettis absolutely FREE! (Honorable reputation with Skyguards required. Other restrictions may apply. Offer may change at any time)

So, you ask, how can these wonderful daily quests be available to me? Well my friends, I’ll tell you, but be warned, this is not for the faint of heart! (Due to some persistent curses when trying to find groups, these quests have been rated TV-14 LVD)

You start by talking to V’eru (57.46), one of the Naaru in Shattrah, who will ask you to find and talk to the Ogre Grok (65.68) in the Lower City. Grok will direct you to Mog’dorg the Withered (55.44) in Blade’s Edge Mountains. Mog’dorg will offer three quests that can be completed in any order you prefer. All three missions require a group of 5 men to complete.

Maggoc Treasure Chest It’s the first one I completed, so we might as well start there. Maggoc is one of Gruul’s sons (whoever he is, I don’t care), rather grumpy (but no laser beams: free 10 WoW Gold on the Gnomeregan server for who can find the reference!), and wanders around Razor Ridge. (63.55). With an average group of 5 decently dressed men, he should be easy to take down. Now, the important thing is that he does not carry the required chest with him, but drops it on the ground to be looted separately. Even more important is that this chest can be looted by anyone, not just the party that takes it down! Thus, you can complete this quest without fighting Maggoc, just by being in the right place at the right time. Great information for all freeloaders!

The second mission is Grulloc has two skulls. Grulloc, another son of the enigmatic Gruul, is also found in the Blade’s Edge Mountains in Cursed Hollow (59.47) just above the Razor Ridge Mountains and thus a 2-minute flight from Maggoc. He is also easy to take down with a 5 man group and again drops the skull to loot separately.

The third search Even gronn have standards, requires you to return to Terrokar. Slaag is in the Barrier Hills above Shattrah (20,16) and is quite a bit harder to kill than his brethren, so make sure your party’s tanky/healer combo is good. Also, this mob has an AoE attack every few seconds that will damage and knock back everyone in a 15 yard radius, so make sure the healer and ranged DPS aren’t in range. As with his brother, he will drop a separate looted banner that anyone can loot.

So now you have to go back to Mog’dorg in Blade’s Edge to return all three quests. You’re probably thinking, well that took some time, but it wasn’t too bad getting 3 new quests daily. Unfortunately for you, this was just the beginning!

After all this, Mog’dorg isn’t through with you, far from it. He apparently needs a Grimoire, hence the quest. Shady business (oire). This one absolutely requires 5 players, as you need to reach Vim’gol’s Circle (77.30). Each member of the group stands in one of five circles which starts a light show that convenes the required crowd. This mob is also quite powerful and needs to be taken down quickly before it “rages” and takes you out. I lucked out and had an epic party (except me of course) and we took him down despite the enrage. Apparently, you can run back into the circles to finish off his “enrage”, but I didn’t need to try, so I’m not sure about the success of this strategy. Once you get the Grimoire in question, you need to head back to Mog’dorg to get the next quest in the chain.

in the soul grinder requires you to activate an altar in the Circle of Blood (60,24). This will cause waves of 70 non-elite ghosts to attempt to destroy him for 2 minutes before Skulloc spawns. You must deal with all the ghosts as quickly as possible to keep them away from the altar. After 2 minutes, Skulloc is summoned and the main fight begins. Skulloc is not easy to kill as he summons some ghosts to defend him, banishes players for 10s and has a DoT he casts that should dispel quickly as it ramps up pretty quickly for about 1000s of damage. Upon death, he drops his soul, which must be looted separately. Depending on where he dies, it can be hard to loot and he may get quite a few “too far away” messages before he finds a place that allows him to get it. He simply walks around the Soul to find an acceptable place.

When you return this quest to Mor’dorg, he proudly announces the deed to all players in the area, “crowns” you Ogre King/Queen, and instructs you to speak to Chu’a’lor in Ogri’la (28.57 ). they are now neutral with the Ogri’la faction and almost ready to start the daily quests. The remaining missions are not group missions.

Chu’a’lor needs 5 Apexis Shards for The Crystals quest. He can simply take them out of any mob in Vortex Pinnacle or loot them from Crystal Shard formations. The formations are not easy to see, so he must use the mouse to locate them when the cursor changes to the gear icon.

This leads to an apexis relic, a very original search by the way. You need an Apexis Shard to power an Apexis Relic. The relics are found in various locations around Vortex Pinnacle, but I normally use the one just north of Ogri’la and the Skyguard outpost. Make sure to kill the mobs around your Relic (which is one of the smaller objects and not the central Apexis Monument in the middle) as it can be interrupted by an attacking mob during the quest, which would require you to reboot your device with another fragment. The mission is a memory game, in which a series of lights flash in a sequence that you must repeat without a problem or be eliminated with over 3000 damage by mistake. If you make a mistake and the mission doesn’t reset, you should either try to find your place in the sequence or just leave the little platform and reset the device with another fragment after waiting 15 seconds. Pencil and paper is recommended to complete the quest unless you have a very good memory (sequence goes up to 8+ lights). Please note: sometimes the lights appear but the sounds do not. Be sure to follow the light sequence regardless of the sounds. When the mission is complete, the light show continues, but apparently no use for continuing (I really wouldn’t know; I didn’t try it)

This becomes a daily quest after the first time, which means you can do it twice on the first day. Also note that most daily quests reward you with gold and apex shards, so you won’t need to farm them (they stack up to 250, and you’ll soon have a stack of them).

This search opens the Our boy wants to be a Skyguard Ranger search, which leads to the other diaries. Torkus (28.57) on Ogri’la wants a flask of some sort (who cares, really). She must obtain the Crystalforge Vial (32.40) which requires 10 Apexis Shards and return it to Torkus.

When you have returned the flask, Chu’a’lor (28.57) in Ogri’la will give you The Skyguard Outpost quest, which will open the new Skyguards journals (go to 27.52). The 2 new journals are bombing which requires you to bombard the Fel Cannonball Stacks (marked with Hunter Marks) in the Forge Camps north or south of the Vortex Pinnacle and Dispute some ether rays!, which requires them to… well, discuss some ether bolts. (You must complete the blitz before you can get the Wrangling quest…)

The blitz run is exactly the same as Skettis, except the cannons actually fire at you while you’re flying, so a bit of moving and rolling is required to avoid flak. The flak causes a DoT that unmounts you, sometime in the middle of multiple mobs, so be careful. Although I should point out that this quest is much easier to do with an epic flying mount (Thank you Brute Force Guild Bank and our Generous and Glorious Leader!) rope. They will be attached to you blocking most of your vision, but this quest is pretty quick to do, just watch out for wandering mobs. Aether Rays are neutral mobs found around Ogri’la.

Other journals will be added as your reputation with Ogri’la and the Skyguards increases.
