Battlegrounds 6/26/08

I fought in a couple different battlegrounds tonight. I did Arathi Basin for my daily and also 3 Alterac Valley on Wranngar. We won the first AB I was in, 2000/1370. It was a pretty good fight, we held 3 nodes the whole time but they were constantly changing as we lost one and picked up a new one. The daily battle ground pays 11g99s, 419 honor and 3 marks of honor which in this case were Arathi Basin Mark of Honor. We didn't do as well in AV, there were a lot of AFK and no real teamwork. People were going off and doing their own thing, not working together which cost us all 3 battles. A couple of the plans we were trying to follow were rush FWGY and rush FWRH but they only work if everyone follows the plan and that just wasn't happening. Some people wanted to kill Galv right at the start and when they couldn't get enough people together to kill him they argued about it instead of helping the offense reach an objective. I am not sure which battleground weekend it is but it sure felt like AV weekend, I will have to check and see. (I checked and it is Eye of the Storm weekend) We never even got close to taking down Drek while the Horde took down Vann in 2 of the 3 battles I was in. I think there was only one battle were we actually capped a tower in Frostwolf Keep. All 3 battles turned into a turtle due to lack of teamwork and not having enough offense working towards the same goal to secure a forward graveyard. 3 battles was all I could take, maybe I will try again tomorrow. You can check the Events Calendar to see what is happening and where.

Daily's 6/26/08

I did some of my daily's today. I did the daily fishing, which was Bait Bandits and the daily cooking, which was Revenge is Tasty on both Wranngar and Gomorra plus I did Gaining the Advantage on Wranngar. The fishing went pretty quick and I got a nice reward on Wranngar. I flew over to the bridge by Tuurem (52,37) in Terokkar Forest to catch my Blackfin Darters. I got them in a few casts on each then flew over to Skettis to kill a Monstrous Kaliri and get my wing. I had t kill 4 on each before I got the wing. I flew back to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and turned in the fishing quest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. Gomorra got 7g35s1c, 3 Elixir of Water Walking and a Noble's Monocle which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold. Allakhazam says it goes for 125 gold on the auction house but I don't see that happening, it is a white item. Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g99s25c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks, a Giant Shark Tooth and Spun Truesilver Fishing Line. The Spun Truesilver Fishing Line is one of the rewards that make doing the daily fishing quest worthwhile, it permanently adds +3 to your fishing skill. After that I flew over to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and turned in the cooking. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward on both and Wranngar got 6 Spotted Feltail, 5 Golden Darter, 2 Enormous Barbed Gill Trout and 3 Clean Fishbones. Gomorra got 9 Golden Darter, a Huge Spotted Feltail, an Enormous Barbed Gill Trout and a Ruined Fishing Net. The Golden Darter alone are worth 45 gold on the auction house and that is what makes doing the daily cooking worthwhile even though I have all the recipes now. They both got the 7g59s the daily cooking pays. After that I flew out to Nagrand and killed and skinned some Clefthoof for Gaining the Advantage, that didn't take me too long today and I turned it in for 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion which I sold as I already have too many of them. I will probably go later on and do my Shattered Sun daily's too.

Update: I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar a little later. Everything was dropping good and there were not too many people around so I was able to get them done in about 40 minutes. I did the bombing run in one pass, finishing about 3/4 of the way through. I made around 120 gold for the little time it took me.
