Skills 3/27/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and did my daily's. I did the daily cooking first which was Cheese for Glowergold again. It is the second time this week. This is probably my least favorite daily as it takes forever to collect the 6 Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses you need. I ran around Dalaran looking for glasses and while I was looking in the wine and cheese shop I got the Aged Dalaran Limburger I needed. I finally got all 6 Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses I needed and poured them into a bottle which I put on the platter with the Aged Dalaran Limburger. I delivered that to Ranid Glowergold at the Leatherworkers in the Magus Commerce Exchange in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 5 Baby Spices in it. I got another 10 Northern Spices with the award I got and put them in the bank.

After that I did Overstock in the Storm Peaks at K3. I do this one pretty much every day, every day I do daily's anyway, it only takes a few minutes and pays around 13 gold. From there I headed over to do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. There are 5 I do for them, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. I get around 66 gold and about 1200 rep a day for these. I saw some people in chat complaining about the Thrusting Hodir's Spear daily quest. They were saying how they have been trying to do it and just couldn't complete it. There were a few people there that said they do it every day but sometimes it takes them 4 or 5 tries. Of course there was one person who said they do it every day, it only takes them a minute and they get it done first time every time. I piped up and said I gave up on it, it will just take me a little longer to become exalted.

My daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade on the other hand do take a lot of time and that is why I have been skipping them lately. I will pick them up again when Gomorra is 80.

I did my daily's for The Kalu'ak on Gomorra tonight. They don't take long and give 1650 rep a day along with the roughly 5 gold they each pay. I am not in it for the gold, I am in it for the rep and will stop doing them as soon as I am exalted. It is not worth doing them once you are exalted because of the little gold they pay. I thought I was going to be exalted with them tomorrow but somehow I am missing that by 244 rep. This is the same thing that happened to Wranngar now that I think about it. I remember I had to do one of the daily's one last time to become exalted. I will become exalted with them on Sunday.

I paid a visit to Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, to see if he had anything he needed me to do and he did, he had The One That Got Away. He always has something for me :). I headed over to my spot at Lake Sunspring (34,43) in Nagrand to try and fish up the World's Largest Mudfish. It took me 15 casts but I got him. I turned it over to Old Man Barlo and he gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures. When I opened it up it had 7g10s32c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Broken Spyglass in it. I sold the Broken Spyglass to a vendor for 2 gold and kept the rest. I don't get any XP for doing this but I will get the achievement once I do all of them once.

I worked on some of Gomorra's secondary skills today. I got his cooking up to 399 with mats Wranngar had stocked in the guild bank. I will not be able to go much higher than that until I am level 76 and can pick up the daily cooking quest. I have one yellow recipe that gave me 1 point out of the last 4 pieces I cooked and the rest are green. I am pretty sure when I hit 400 the green will turn gray and the yellow will turn green. I will get a couple more out of the yellow recipe once it turns green because it is for Great Feast which is some good stuff although it takes a lot of mats. I also got my First Aid skill up to 383 tonight making Frostweave Bandages. I went about it completely the wrong way though. I needed bandages on Gomorra so I made 10 on Wranngar before I realized Gomorra could make them himself. So that was some points I lost out on. In the course of the last few days I have leveled my fishing skill up to 379. I will level it a lot more on Sunday after I get my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.
