Battlegrounds 7/2/08

I only fought in one AV tonight, it was a loss. I was on Wranngar. There were a lot of AFK which hurt in every battleground but the people that were fighting clearly had no clue what they were doing. The first mistake they made was going for Galv first. That in itself is an almost guaranteed loss unless you have a really good group, this wasn't a really good group. They Horde put up a major wall of defense at IBGY and nobody rode past it, everyone that wasn't killing Galv stopped there to fight, that was the second mistake. When the Horde are really defending IBGY you need to ride past them and go for FWGY. I was trying to hold IBT with 4 other people but 3 of them left before it capped and we were overrun by about half a dozen Horde. Pretty much everybody ended up back at DB. After that nobody seemed to have any direction, there was no teamwork, some people were just hanging around in DB while others were trying to take SHGY which doesn't make any sense as SHGY is useless to us, it is just another place to turtle. With more than half the Horde at IBGY they were still able to easily take over DB with 3/4 of the Alliance, including all the AFK, there. We never really got any farther than IBGY. I have a really sad feeling it is going to be like this all summer. There are certain time slots that are better than others, I assume it's when the kids are sleeping, and you just have to find them. I will try fighting in there at different times and see if I can find out when that time is.

Daily's 7/2/08

I got all my Shattered Sun daily's done on Wranngar today and also did Gaining the Advantage. The Shattered Sun daily's didn't take me long, there were not many people around so I was able to get through them pretty quick. For Gaining the Advantage I went to Razorthorn Trail on the road between Terokkar Forest and Hellfire Peninsula and killed Ravagers for skinning. That didn't take long at all, the Mana Remnants we dropping pretty good, around 50%, and I got some Ravager meat out of it too. I made about 115 gold doing the Shattered Sun daily's after repairs and Gaining the Advantage pays 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion.

I did the daily fishing on both Wranngar and Gomorra today. It was Felblood Fillet. For that I headed over to Shadowmoon Valley to my spot (40,59) by Wildhammer Stronghold. I got one in 4 casts on Wranngar and the first cast on Gomorra. When I turned that in to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures Gomorra got 7g4s81c, 6 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Giant Shark Tooth. Wranngar got 6g66s13c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and 3 pieces of Salvaged Scrap Metal. Nothing to exciting for either of them today but I am still looking forward to the good rewards.

The daily cooking today was Revenge is Tasty. I picked that up from The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and headed over to Skettis to kill a Monstrous Kaliri. I got the wing I needed on the first kill with Wranngar and the second kill on Gomorra. When I turned that in I picked Crate of Meat for my reward and got, on Wranngar, 12 pieces of Warped Flesh and a pair of Patchwork Gloves. Gomorra got 13 Chunks o' Basilisk and a pair of Patchwork Gloves. Nothing too exciting there but the meat will come in handy. They also got the 7g59s this quest pays.
