Daily Cooking Quest 4/29/08

The daily cooking quest today was the same one I got yesterday, Super Hot Stew. I did it on Wranngar. I had to go out to Blades Edge and kill some Wind Serpents and Lashtail Raptors for meat. When I had a few pieces of each I cooked them up and flew over to Forge Camp Terror. I killed a giant elemental and used the pot to cook the stew over it's remains. After I had it cooked I flew over to Shatt and turned it in. I got 7g59s and some Basalisk meat for it, no recipe again today :(.

Alterac Valley 4/29/08

I did 10 battles on Wranngar today, Axeelina was in 2 of them with me. We won 5 and lost 5. I guess 50% is not bad compared to some of the days I've had in AV. I can't believe that there are still people calling for rushing Drek and kill him. No towers, nothing, just rush down there and kill him..... That doesn't work anymore which should give you an idea how long it has been since these people have been in an AV battle. We actually had a battle where everyone went and did Galv first and we won! It actually went pretty smooth. We got Galv then stormed IBT, IBGY and TP pretty much running right over the Horde, we drove them into the ground :). We moved up and overpowered the defense at FWGY, still moving in a large group, and then went into Frostwolf Keep and took the relief hut and towers. After that it was a simple matter of downing Drek when the towers capped. I guess this proves that pretty much any reasonable plan will work if everyone works together on it. A couple of the ones we lost we had most the towers capped and were on Drek but not fast enough, the Horde downed Vann. A couple we lost from turtling SHGY and/or DB. I can never understand the defend SHGY with everything you got and give them DB strat, it just doesn't make sense to me. On our other wins we rushed either FWGY or IBGY and worked forward from there, got the towers and Drek. We didn't win any of our battles on reinforcements today.

Daily Battleground 4/29/08

The daily battleground today was Eye of the Storm. I did it on Wranngar and we won the first battle I was in. The daily battleground pays 11g99s and 419 honor. A little later I did another EoS with Axeelina but we lost that one. Axeelina had already gotten the daily BG done, she was just going after marks.

Daily's Wranngar 4/29/08

I did my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar along with Gaining the Advantage, the daily cooking quest and the daily battleground which was EoS. I made about 130g on them. I didn't get them done on Gomorra and probably won't get them done today.

Alterac Valley II 4/28/08

I went back for a little more AV on Wranngar. I fought in 4 more battles and we won 2 and lost 2. The last one I was in was a loss. There was no teamwork, some people went for the rush FWGY plan and some went for the rush IBGY plan and some just went to Galv but not really enough went to any one place. It was mayhem. We managed to get IBGY after awhile and eventually FWGY which we held for a little while then lost. The other loss we were trying but just ran out of time when the Horde killed Vann. We had 1 tower still up and we starting on Drek when they killed him. In the two wins we had one was using the rush FWGY strat and one was using the rush IBGY start, both seem to work well. I have heard the rush FWRH strat called for a few times but no one does that too much anymore for the simple reason it doesn't work that often. In our second win we had all the towers down, but FWRH hadn't capped yet, and we killed Drek, it went pretty smooth. That was the battle where we rushed IBGY. After we claimed that we went on to cap IBT & TP then get Galv. Others went ahead and got FWGY, FWRH and the Frostwolf Towers. In our first battle we rushed the FWGY but also managed to pick up IBGY along the way. IBT & TP got capped pretty quick while we were capping the FWRH and the East & West Frostwolf Towers. We ended up taking Drek with the East Tower still up but we had FWRH and did it without any real problems. One extra Warmaster +25% more health to Drek isn't too bad if you have a good offensive team. Heck he's really not that hard to take down with 2 Warmasters and +50% health with a good offensive team and good heals.
