Feeling a bit underwhelmedFollow

As far as rep goes, maybe the easiest the farm for a nice feral reward is Consortium. Save the quests til after honoured at least, and the necklaces you've farmed can be handed in at Aeris Landing.
After that, move on to farm at The Heap in Netherstorm for Zaxxis Insignia, 250 rep for ten.
Exalted will get you Haramad's Bargain (26str, 25AG).


You can do the group quest in the Ring of Blood in Nagrand for Staff of Beasts (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25761) and other blue quest rewards will come slowly with pugs.

Check http://www.gurgleblaster.net/emmerald/Cat_Sustained_DPS/Neck.html for the better quest rewards

Keep in mind that in kitty form, you're doing white damage every second, so, if youre hitting for 100 each blow, thats 100dps right there, plus your energy consuming attacks, plus your combo point attacks. It will probably always seem like you're hitting softer than you should be, because a druid in catform strikes deftly and frequently to do damage, but the damage meters will show otherwise. At 70, after doing instances all summer, my druid is full of blue and a few purple items, and I have 1900 FAP (with a green druid staff). I can do a steady 400 dps in instances, when I get the chance to dps (most often I'm tanking).

But at lvl 67/68 do not worry about doing incredible damage. As long as you're able to kill the mobs and earn XP, you should be happy until level 70. Once you hit 70, there is alot of wonderful kitty gear in instances (and a few nice quest items: Check out the Shattrath leggings or Clefthoof Hide Leggings) Do not enchant you're weapon until you have something worth keeping.

There are 3 ways you could go when amassing str and agi. The first would be to get as much str as possible, this will help your white damage, allow you to get bigger crits, etc. Another way would be to stack agi, so that your critrate increases, as well as your dodge, armor. The extra combo point with every crit is very nice and lots of agility will allow you to fire off combo attacks very quickly. The third method would be to try to balance them. I recenly saw a graph someone made demonstrating how total dps relates to str and agi, and according to the graph, it seemed that they increased dps at roughly the same rate.

Also, if you can, find items that grant +str instead of +AP(attack, not armor). A good feral druid should get 2.4 FAP for every +str.

It also makes a difference that you are fighting relatively high armor mobs. Find some mage and warlock types and you'll see a big difference in how quick they fall to cat form. Against warrior type mobs I find more success in collecting three or four at a time, going bear, and using swipe for crits to generate rage and spreading around lacerates and mangles.

Use the Mangle -> Maim -> Shred combo as well to get some big numbers and lower the damage you take at the same time.
