I don't usually like questing. When I level healing or tanking characters, I freely admit that I do so by repeatedly running dungeons until I die of boredom; then I might do a quest or two. There are certain zones that I will quest a little in, but they are few and far between. However, on my DPS characters, the multi-dungeon approach doesn't work. My hunter and warlock are being leveled mostly through questing, Battlegrounds and dungeons in that order, and the forced questing, while often heartbreakingly dull as you kill yet another bird that is mysteriously lacking a heart, has had some unexpected highlights.

I've found my new favorite quest. It's Goat Time, Baby is in the Badlands, in Fuselight from Garyanne Fleezlebop, and it's freakin' hilarious! You are issued with a Goat Puncher by the lovely Garyanne, and you use it to punch goats off the side of Fuselight. Apparently, the goats have started eating the stuff the goblins like to leave lying around. Having lived on my parents' cashmere goat farm as a kid, I can sympathize with the goblins' plight. But it's a really hilarious quest, and WoW Insider's warlock blogger Megan O'Neill made my day when she told me about the achievement -- any excuse to prolong the goat-punching!

I'll tell you what, though -- there's a similarly located quest I hate. The one where you have to beat up a captive lady dragon and steal her eggs while she's held against her will, watching you kill her whelps. It really upsets me!

What's your favorite quest? What's the very best quest you've found? Do you share my love for propelling goats off the edge of Fuselight? Do you prefer quests with inspiring stories over those where you hear several stories about flying motorcycles and punching Deathwing? I'm beginning to notice a punching theme running through my best-loved quests ... It could be a whole quest line!
