Battlegrounds 7/5/08

I am not sure what the daily battleground was today but I still had the daily for Alterac Valley in my quest log from the other day so I did that one. Even though the Alliance does poorly in AV a lot of the time it is still my favorite battleground. We were doing good today though, I fought in 5 battles on Wranngar, 4 wins and one loss. We won the first one I was in so I was able to get my daily out of the way straight off. After that I was fighting for fun, honor and kills. I broke the 40,000 lifetime kill mark a few days ago. The first battle we were in was pretty organized, we headed to FWGY and got that then moved forward and backward getting FWRH, IBT and TP. We then got the East and West Frostwolf Towers and took down Drek. Galv got taken out somewhere in there too so we got maximum honor for that win. Our other 3 wins followed pretty much the same plan and we won with good honor. I still need some more honor to upgrade some of my gear to the new stuff that became available for honor. In the battle we lost we just didn't have any teamwork going on. We had a lot of AFK in all the battles I was in, it is a real problem that Blizzard says it is working on but I can't see it when I see the same people in there AFK day after day, week after week. Anyway in the loss people went for Galv first then everyone stopped at IBGY to fight the Horde there. When the Horde are really defending IBGY you do not stop to fight them, you go past them to FWGY and take that then more into Frostwolf and get the Relief Hut and Towers. It really didn't look like these people had any idea what they were doing and I thought I had gotten out of the good time frame (I got into the battleground at 5AM ST) but then we won the next one easily. We had a lot of people in DB but when the Horde moved in it turned out they were all AFK and just got relocated to SFGY when they were killed. The Horde killed Vann on that one. We killed Drek in all of our wins which is how it should be because you get a lot of honor from killing him.

Daily's 7/5/08

I never got back on last night to do the daily fishing on Gomorra which is too bad, I really need to do it every day if I am going to have a chance to get The 2 Ring.

I did the daily fishing which was The One That Got Away on both Wranngar and Gomorra today along with the daily cooking which was Soup for the Soul on both plus Gaining the Advantage and The Multiphase Survey on Wranngar. I killed Clefthoof in Nagrand for Gaining the Advanatge and also got the meat I needed for the daily cooking out of that. I did The Multiphase Survey too while I was there.

The daily fishing had me heading out to Lake Sunspring (34,43) in Nagrand in search of the World's Largest Mudfish. I got one in 17 casts on Wranngar and 21 casts on Gomorra. Took quite a few casts on both but I'm not complaining as you catch some good fish there. When I turned those in to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures Wranngar got 6g80s27c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Noble's Monocle which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold. Gomorra got 7g21s34c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Beautiful Glass Eye that had the initials C.S. on the back. I sold that to a vendor for 18 gold. Not great rewards today but I will keep doing it as there are still a lot of good rewards to be had. The 2 Ring sells for around 2800 gold on the auction house and I will definitely sell that when I get it.

I did the daily cooking while I was in Nagrand doing the other quests. I had gotten the meat I needed for both on Wranngar while I was doing Gaining the Advantage. I just flew over to the Ancestral Grounds (25,59) and cooked my Spiritual Soup then headed back to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and turned it in for my reward. On top of the 7g59s this quest pays they each picked Crate of Meat for their reward and Wranngar got 7 pieces of Serpent Flesh, 8 Chunks o' Basilisk and 2 Large Fangs. Gomorra got 7 pieces of Clefthoof Meat, 8 pieces of Buzzard Meat and a pair of Patchwork Gloves. I cooked up all the meat and put it in the guild bank for anyone who needs it.
