The Saberstalkers

The Saberstalkers

The Saberstalkers faction is the most difficult of the three factions required to meet the Draenor Pathfinder achievement, particularly for Jocy, who primarily works solo. The most important quest is "Rumble in the Jungle" which is available only once a week. Three elite bosses have to be cut down. Jocy did group up with some random horde also needing to complete the quest, and with that help Jocy completed the quest and got the 3500 rep reward. Jocy also takes advantage of a random daily quest called "Tooth and Claw" which generally appears about once a week. That, too, Jocy completed. There are a select few randomly appearing elite's that are a step more difficult to defeat solo, but Jocy has to be at the right place at the right time in order to take one down. They don't respawn that often, so I spend a lot of time circling through Fangrila - mostly I find elite corpses, or the empty spot where one might spawn. One idea that Jocy hasn't had a chance to try out is camping at the spot where Soulslicer spawns. There are supposedly a number of mobs that can be repeatedly killed for rep in that area.

The Awakened faction is actually the one I worry about the most, though. As mentioned in other posts, there is only one daily quest, "Unseen Influence," and it's difficult to find the needed ten items required. Jocy hasn't been able to complete the quest every single day, and is falling behind. Still, there's been decent progress overall.

Weekend Draenor Pathfinder Progress Summary:
Master Treasure: 64 -> 67 -> 75 -> no change (25 more required)
Vol'Jin's: 8200 -> 8700 -> 9700 -> Revered (DONE)
Awakened: Reached Honored -> 1500 -> 3000 toward Revered (need 12,000)
Saberstalkers: Reached Honored -> 2775 toward Revered (need 12,000)

Jocy's plan to upgrade her trinket using a Scribe's Quarters in Fist's garrison is a bust. Fortunately Jocy only had the one structure built, first level only, but Fist is really pissed off. Jocy didn't do her homework. The trinket upgrades Jocy wanted aren't available through the Scribes, which seems stupid because they do craft the trinket. The whole garrison thing is stupid, was Fist's assessment, wondering what she would do with the unwanted building.

That didn't stop Jocy. She's now leaning on Happy for the 33k gold it will take to buyout her trinket from i655 to i715. Happy says NO, not until the weekend take is assessed. Maybe the prices will be lower on Monday. Jocy isn't happy. Happy doesn't care.

Jocy has also decided to try out a new bodyguard. So far she's fired three (Vivianne, Leorajh,  and Aeda) She didn't like any of them, each one worse than the one before. Jocy did additional research and found her another one. This one is called Tormmok. He's only level 93, so he'll have to be leveled. He's an arms warrior so he should be fairly hard to kill and should stay close and out of trouble. It'll take him a few days to level, but Jocy already has a full set of gear for him once he reaches 100. One thing I wish I could do is include the bodyguard follower in a group so that I could more easily keep track of him.
