Icecrown 4/9/09

I did some questing in Icecrown on Gomorra tonight. I did a bunch of Knights of the Ebon Blade and Argent Crusade quests. I am now about 6 1/2 bars into level 79 and all but the last 3 are rested so basically the whole level is rested for me. You only use your rested XP on kills. Quests, which give the most XP, move the rested marker forward every time you get XP from them. The only way I could get to 80 now without being on rested XP would be to just get out there and grind. Grinding is when you just kill things to get XP and don't do any, or very little, questing. I will hit 80 on Gomorra tomorrow or Saturday. Then I will have to start working on gearing him. I have 2 pieces of my level 80 gear made but need 6 more pieces Ebonweave to make my robe. I can make my next piece in 1 day 16 hours roughly. There is a 4 day cool down on all the top end cloths. I can make 2 pieces because I am a Shadoweave tailor. I am also making Moonshroud for my 22 slot bags but I can only make one piece every 4 days so that is going to take me awhile, I have one piece now.

I did the daily cooking on Gomorra and Wranngar tonight. It was Mustard Dogs!..... We just had Mustard Dogs as the daily cooking for 5 days straight then had a day off with Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and now we are back to Mustard Dogs again. It took me a long time to get the 4 Wild Mustard I needed on each today, everyone was doing it and everyone was complaining about it in trade chat. I was one of them. You can find Wild Mustard in any and all of the Grassy areas in Dalaran. Anyway I finally got the 4 Wild Mustard on each that I needed so I headed over to the bank to get some Rhino Meat so I could make some Rhino Dogs. It takes 4 pieces of Rhino Meat on each for this daily. Needless to say I am running really low on Rhino Meat and will have to go farming. Once I had my Mustard Dog Baskets made up I headed over to deliver them to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He was pretty happy to see me and gave Gomorra 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad haul for Gomorra today. Wranngar got 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. I took my 2 awards on Wranngar and got 20 more Northern Spices for the guild bank. I have over 500 now, 523 I think. Gomorra used his awards to get Recipe: Mighty Rhino Dogs which he cooked up. He is 2 recipes away from completing stage 1 of The Northrend Gourmet achievement. You have to cook all 45 of the Northrend recipes to complete all 3 stages but for some reason they credit you 15 at a time so you actually earn the achievement 3 times before it is done. Don't ask me why....

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra and Wranngar tonight. I do 4 on Gomorra, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter and 5 on Wranngar, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. I make about 53 gold doing these on Gomorra and around 66 on Wranngar. It usually takes me around 25 minutes to do Gomorra's 4 and a half hour to do Wranngar's 5, give or take 5 minutes or so depending on how many people are doing it. When I am revered with them on Gomorra I will be able to start doing Feeding Arngrim which is about the easiest of all. I got a lot of leather today on Wranngar. I was folloing around a Paladin that was leveling his unarmed skill and I ended up getting about 80 pieces of Borean Leather which I turned into Heavy Borean Leather. I didn't get any Arctic Fur today on either of them today :(.
