So, a bit of time, some invisibility pots and maybe a death at the end, and you got your very own Everlasting Underspore Frond! @mania: if you check here, it looks as if it’s not that hard to solo that quest: you don’t need a boss down, only loot something behind one!

It seems the perfect sort of reward for a nice solo chain, to me. I got one in beta where I was willing to PUG to get at the new pets, but I'm not willing to go to that trouble on live. Admittedly, that's my problem. :> The Bounty of the Harvest, on the other hand, is quick and simple and low-level ... and seasonal, which is a pity. But it feels a lot more reasonable to me, given the actual reward. Anyway, the Harvest Festival is over now -- and as I type this I am waiting for the realms to come back up so I can start working towards my Brewfest Ram!

I have absolutely no economical qualms about spending it, 'cause there'll be 20 more each day... gotta love sporeggar that underspore pod is the best reward I ever got in a dungeon, free food for both health and mana!

And don't forget Hollow's End coming soon too. My crab loves his free food, but at level 70 it only grants 17 happiness/tick, so it's even half as useful. At least they lowered the cooldown to 12 from 24 hours. I'm still hopeful that I can get that Everlasting Underspore Frond ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28111 ). Someday I'll get to run an instance again... Harvest festival is live, Brewfest is on test (perhaps coming out today?). And don’t forget Hollow’s End coming soon too.

Isn't the harvest festival only in the PTR now? Is it on LIVE realms as well? Dang. Will have to check later tonight (luckily things only change on Wednesday nights in European realms so I'll have tonight to do the quest... Sure, it has it's drawbacks (only 4 pieces, 12 h cd), BUT, it can be a nice "oops: I ran out of food" type of backup device! And Someone is using a boar right now with no plans to change! :) Uh?

WHICH, just like mage water/food, will disappear upon logout after X amount of time. IMO, not really worth it. I wish Blizz would make it more useful. :( But that really stinks that you can't do the quest as those 2 races. So sad. :( Well, if it makes you feel better… its a stinking 4 pieces of bread with a 12 hour cooldown. WHICH, just like mage water/food, will disappear upon logout after X amount of time.
