Sons of Hodir 4/6/09

I did a lot of questing on Gomorra today. I am about 12 1/2 bars into level 78. I started the day off hated by The Sons of Hodir and finished it up 1057/12000 honored. Due to yet another glitch in the game I am unable to buy any of the honored items from them though. (Note* I did receive an e-mail from Blizzard customer support, after posting this post, stating that the items I was trying to buy appeared to be a higher level than my character. I went back and checked and they are correct, my bad. Now I feel foolish.) I also put in a ticket for another glitch that has been going on for a couple years. Every time they have a major patch or an expansion my Felguard comes out at half health, or less, when I dismount. This can be a real problem if you are dismounting because something dismounted you. My minion coming out half dead is useless to me. I am looking forward to their "We are aware of the problem and working on it, why don't you visit the forums" e-mail. That is their answer to everything, visit the forums. I don't need to visit the forums to know that my Felguard is coming out half dead, all I need to do is play my Warlock to know that. And I don't need to discuss it with other people, I just need it fixed. I am getting tired of having to heal him every time I dismount, it takes time and I am healing him with my health so it also costs me health too. Warlocks share their health with their minions.

Anyway I am now doing 4 daily's for the Son's of Hodir to the best of my ability with a half dead minion. The ones I am doing are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. Now I get to do these twice a day, Once on Wranngar and again on Gomorra. I'm not complaining though, they pay well and are pretty quick and easy. They have a 22 slot bag pattern I want to get for Gomorra, takes a lot of mats but, 22 slots! :). It will be a little while before I get that which will give me some time to make the cloth for my first one. All the cloth for it has a 4 day cooldown. Gomorra only has 2 changeable storage bags because he is also carrying a leatherworking bag and a soul bag. You can't change the bag that comes with the character when you create it but I wish you could, he is really hurting for space. On the plus side I can just pop my leatherworking bag into a bank slot before a raid and replace it with a 20 slot, or 22 slot in the future, bag. Update: I have an updated post that explains how to go from hated to friendly and unlock the Sons of Hodir daily's. You can find it here Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's.

I did the daily cooking on both Wranngar and Gomorra today. It seems we are stuck on Mustard Dogs! now. Last time it was stuck on Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and that went on for 5 or 6 days. I ran around Dalaran picking Wild Mustard and it went pretty quick on both of them. Once I had the 4 I needed on each I hit the bank and got some Rhino Meat so I could cook up some Rhino Dogs, mmmmm good stuff. I made a couple Mustard Dog Baskets! and delivered them to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He is a man that really likes his Mustard Dogs. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices in it. He gave Wranngar a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and 9g93s. I took the 2 awards Wranngar got and bought 20 more Northern Spices for the guild bank. I have quite a few but Gomorra is also using quite a few lol. I am in no fear of running out though, I have around 490.

I did all my daily's on Wranngar tonight. I started with Overstock, a fast easy quest that pays around 13 gold at K3 in the Storm Peaks, then moved on to my daily's for The Sons of Hodir and finished with my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade. Once I have Gomorra doing all of these too the gold will be pouring in. I can still pick up around 12-13 more daily quests so I will have to look around and see what is available and what they have to offer. Whatever they have to offer, if the gold is good I will do them.
