Tried that last night. Wow. I had only been there for 10 minutes before I
found a huge steaming chest. Clicked on it. Had two epic 496 items. Ten
minutes later two more dropped from random elites. Within the first half
hour I ended up with two epic necklaces and three epic belts. :-)

Lucky I loosely still lurk here, so I realised what all these frogs were for
when I rode past them and once I saw that 20k coins would reward me with a
nice and epic crossbow I spent the next two hours in a frog group of three
which was nice and relaxed. By the end of it I had 19k coins, 50 stones of
iforgetwhat, epic pants, epic bracers and half a dozen more epics to vendor
off. Handed in the 50 stones, bought my crossbow and logged off.

Actually, I was positively surprised. I was very careful attacking those
elites, but 2 out of 3 times I managed to solo them. Didn't expect that. At
one point I switched my pet from ferocity to tenacity and that helped, too,
as it gained a little survivability. I died a few more times to respawns
(especially in the frog area before being grouped) but all in all it went
far better than I could have expected to. I stayed well away from the 250+k
giants and some other uber elites, but the "normal" 35k HP ones were ok.

Quite some difference, being able to solo same level elites. I remember well
how Old Sooty or Hogger killed me again and again even when I was 2 or 3
levels above them :-)

Still, I must be a n00b damage wise. While I can take down those frogs, it
takes me and my pet about 15-30 seconds to do so. My group mates (shaman and
DK) managed to two shot whole bundles of them...

Yes, I think I'll give that a go next, now that I've seen the two Isles that
weren't there at the start of Pandaria. I should do better, now that I'm
geared up a little. I'll see how I do. I guess I'll have 1 or 2 more nights
time before my time runs out.

Cheers
