Description
Places pins on the World Map and Minimap for every known Netherwing Egg spawn location in Shadowmoon Valley. Each pin is customisable and has a tooltip with a detailed location description.
Over 100 unique & documented spawn locations!
How to Use
Instal: Like any other AddOn. Set up: Works 'as is' but is configurable.
Minimap Options: Left Click or Shift Left Click on a pin to change the pin texture. Each click cycles forwards or backwards through a list. Changes will also appear on the World Map. Applies to a single pin only. Excellent for fast marking of visited locations or locations where an egg was found. New!
World Map Pin Options: Click on a pin. A Drop-down menu appears. You may select a texture for that pin or apply the texture to all pins. Changes will also appear on the Minimap. New!
World Map "Magnifying Glass" Options: Click the button in the top right of the World Map. Check boxes allow you to show/hide the Egg and quest locations. There is an option to remove/reset all individual pins settings. There is an option to jump to Shadowmoon Valley, as appropriate. Changes will also appear on the Minimap. New!
Command Line: Enter '/ne', '/eggs', '/netherwing', '/netherwingeggs' in chat. Use '/ne s 30', '/ne s 40' (for example) to change the pin sizes.
Chat Links: Activate the edit box of any chat channel. Hold down the CTRL key. Move the mouse over a pin. Link, description and coordinate data will be pasted to your chat channel. Just hit ENTER to send!
(No drop-down menus in TBC, click on World Map pins instead as per the Minimap above. Safely loads in Vanilla but does not run. Untested WotLK/Cata/MoP)
Fortress / Ledge / Mine locations are NOT muddled together!
Details
Players are able to collect Netherwing Eggs to gain Netherwing reputation. At exalted you may purchase a set of amazing Netherwing Drake mounts.
The eggs spawn in three areas in Shadowmoon Valley in Outland. The Netherwing Fortress has 12 possible locations, the Netherwing Ledge has 38 spawn points and the Netherwing Mines has 58 locations.
Almost all locations have been personally verified by this author. Thanks to users at Curse and WoW Interface for help with locations, screenshots and bug reports.
There will never be more than two Fortress eggs at any one time. Assuming you mine both at the same time, you can expect the first to respawn about 1.5 hours later and the second by the 2 hour mark.
In the Mine there will never be more than six eggs at any one time. Assuming you mine all six at the same time, then expect the first four to spawn from 1 to 1.5 hours, the 5th from 1.5 to 2 hours and the 6th from 2 to 2.5 hours.
Out on the Ledge there will never be more than four eggs at any one time. Assuming you mine all four at the same time, then expect the first 2 to spawn from 2 to 3 hours with the 3rd at about 3 hours.

Nobody can resist an adorable Raptor Hatchling pet or the magnificent Netherwing Drake and Long-Forgotten Hippogryph mounts. You'll of course need Dark Soil for The Tillers friendships and a Loose Pebble for your Dog! A familiar treat awaits if you complete Dalaran's Higher Learning. As you journey on this Long Strange Trip, map your way with X and Y coordinates and have some fun with Yarrr for pirate Tooltips.
Cookies, Beer & Donations
It is all about the cookies and beer although, and don't let Gallywix know about this, a "thank you" in the comments section fuels my programming appetite and is very much appreciated. And then, you could cut straight to Donate because as Gallywix would say... "time is money, friend". 😊

v3.04
Thanks to Etherwood for the egg at (75.22,82.48)! Also another newie at (74.20,82.39)! Plus some other changes as per the change log. Enjoy!
That's 108 absolutely confirmed locations!
v3.03
New location at (72.59,83.73), nicer formatting of coordinates, fatal error fixed (if you were to resize blindly without having opened the World Map), the egg at (69.10,88.22) is now verified / with double precision and some other titivation here and there. Enjoy!
v3.02
Fix as per discussion below. This only affected players who had an (internally) high numbered texture for the special Daily Quest pin. I had done some internal rearranging of textures so that eggs and quest textures would now have a separate list as of v3.00. This to support the new and clean "visual" way of managing textures going forward, as I dispensed with the old UNIX style command line interface. The selection list for dailies is specially reserved but SMALLER. Thus attempting to load an old, higher numbered, texture caused the AddOn to not be able to find it. Hence the problem as below. Doh!
The good news is rolled in to this quick update is a verified location and I also finally got around to deleting an obviously dodgy location I had marked as "Wowhead data". I should never have included it in the first place, being unverified by myself personally but then... Wowhead data so it had to be correct! Sigh!
Crippling repeating error in v3.01 !!!

The above error repeats so rapidly it hangs WoW within 30 seconds, on my system. Reverting to v3.00 fixes this.
Let me know if there's any other useful info I can provide :-)

In reply to Taraezor:
v3.01
Etherwood over at Wowhead has a new egg. Will be placed into v.3.01. I'll hold off a week perhaps on that as I want to get any bug reports in from v3.00. A major rewrite so I must (sigh) have stuffed up somewhere.
Please report any bugs AND egg locations not yet included. I still have a few more unverified location in my private collection.
Thank you for all your work on this :)
v3.00 - Battle for Azeroth
LOTS and LOTS of new stuff added. It mimics my Long-Forgotten Hippogrypth AddOn in functionality.
Yeah, I also added a location too!
Anything with updates?

Addon does not work. No icons on minimap, /ne', '/eggs', '/netherwing', '/netherwingeggs' do not work.
