Battlegrounds 6/25/08

Today's daily battleground was Eye of the Storm. I did it on Wranngar and we won the first one I was in. We started off capping DR, MT & FRR then we lost MT and got BET. We went and got MT back and that gave us a 4 cap, we ran the flag a few times and won 2000/57. I got 11g99s and 419 honor from this daily along with 3 Eye of the Storm Mark of Honor. After that I went and fought in 8 Alterac Valley battles on Wranngar. The Alliance was doing really good tonight for a change, we had 6 wins and 2 losses. For the most part we rushed FWGY while a few stayed back and took IBT and TP, then moved on to FWRH and the FW Towers. After we had those, or at least one of the FW Towers capped, we went in and took out Drek. In a couple we did get IBGY which only helps as that gives us a mid-point graveyard. The Horde tried to turtle in a few of them but we either ran right over them or won on reinforcements. In both our losses we lost because of a turtle and ran out of reinforcements, the Horde did not kill Vann in any of the battles I was in. In a couple of our wins we even got Galv first and still won, that is how on the Alliance was today. Of course due to Season 4 coming out and Season 2 becoming available in Champions Hall there were a lot of AFK in the battles, they are going to AFK their way to an upgrade I guess. Attached is a screen shot of the AFK in one battle, pretty much all the battles we like this. Blizzard says they are doing something about the AFK problem but you just know it is going to be really bad for the next couple months. At least we had groups good enough today to still win without them.

Daily's 6/25/08

I did some of my daily's on Wranngar and Gomorra today. I did the daily fishing quest which was Crocolisks in the City, the daily cooking which was Super Hot Stew on both and Gaining the Advantage on Wranngar. For the fishing I went to Stormwind and fished in the canal right outside the Mage Quarter where you portal in. I got my Baby Crocolisk in just a few casts on each then headed back to Shattrath. I turned that in to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures and got, on Wranngar 7g13s68c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Rusted Lock. Gomorra got 6g95s71c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Mithril Shaving Razor that I sold to a vendor for 11 gold. Then I headed over to Forge Camp Terror in Baldes Edge to cook up my Demon Broiled Surprise. I took the mats out of the guild bank as I have a lot in there from the daily cooking so all I had to do was kill an elemental and cook it over his remains. I headed back to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and turned that in. I picked Barrel of Fish on both and Wranngar got 6 Golden Darter, 5 Furious Crawdad and a Silver Hook. Gomorra got 4 Spotted Feltail, 6 Zangarian Sporefish, 2 Huge Spotted Feltail and a Fisherman Knife. I got some good fish out of those that I cooked up and put in the guild bank. They also both got the 7g59s that this quest pays. I headed over to Hellfire Peninsula to kill some Razorfang for Gaining the Advantage and also got some meat while I was doing that. I turned that in for 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion. I have 30 Major Rejuvenation Potion in the guild bank so I sold that one. I will go later and do the daily battleground which is Eye of the Storm and I will also try to get my Shattered Sun daily's done.

Update: I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar later on tonight. I did them with Yonezoe and we were able to knock them all out in about 40 minutes. The Shattered Sun daily's are quick, easy, and give you some good gold for the little effort it takes you. I like to do them in a different order every day to break up the boredom. I can usually do the bombing quest in one run but with 2 of us doing it there is no doubt we will have it done in one run. I made 117 gold for these, after repairs, including coin drops.
