I can't grind rep now?

Gameplay Quests
1

My hubby and I had not played WoW for a long time. Eight years for him, 9 for me. We thought we were done with the game forever, but when we saw we could play classic, we came back. That was amusing for a day, and then we logged back into our old mains just to see what’s up. Well, the end result is we have stopped playing Classic completely and have focused on exploring and enjoying all of the new content.

I finally got into Pandaria and was trying to grind rep to get dragon mounts, the Cloud Serpent rep for three and Shado-Pan rep for the black one. (Yes, we know you can grind Holuon for the thunder mount, but we would prefer the plain onyx one). Today, we logged in and flew to the Shado-Pan garrison to grind more Shado-Pan rep and Snowdrift won’t give us anymore quests. What gives? I’m on a mage (101) and my hubby is on his new DH also 101, and we can no longer have a chance to get the onyx dragon mount? We literally just did these dailies two days ago. We missed yesterday and came today and now can’t do them?

Instead of punishing players for not being here when things were new, how about encouraging returning players with a more welcoming idea of letting us catch up on all the fun stuff we missed! I left FFXIV cus I couldn’t get the things I wanted. Please, don’t leave me feeling the same way in WoW. :frowning:

It’s a bit of a long shot, but…
Snowdrift isn’t the quest giver every day; some days it’s Ban Bearheart and some days it’s Ling of the Six Pools. Is it possible one of them has quests and you overlooked them?

If that doesn’t help, there are Zandalari troll NPCs that got added in a later patch that sometimes drop stolen insignia, which give substantial amounts of rep. (Not always shado-pan.) I’ve read of someone farming War-God Dokah at the Isle of Giants; his spawn time is reportedly about 30 minutes and he apparently drops shado-pan tokens fairly often (along with klaxxi, golden lotus, and celestial)

Good luck!

Make sure you have “trivial quests” enabled in tracking. (From the magnifying glass on the minimap.) It will make it easier to see where the dailies actually are as you’re over the level for the quests.

I did have trivial quests being tracked, and I checked with every NPC in the Garrison. That’s what got me upset. However, this did seem to get resolved with the next maintenance update and I was suddenly able to get these dailies again. I’ve now completed my goals and achieved my onyx dragon mount and the shado-pan armors cats mounts, so all good in the end.
