Deathknight 4/12/09

I worked on my Deathknight, Wrangar, for a little while today. I hadn't touched him in a couple months at least but I have been hearing everyone QQing about how overpowered Deathknights are. The first thing I did when I got on was Torgos!. I remember having a difficult time on this with Gomorra with another person along but I solo'd it with ease on Wrangar. I guess I have to say Deathknight's are a little overpowered. I came through it with 80% of my health intact. The funny part is I could barely play it after a couple months away from it, I didn't even remember what spells did what lol. I set up all my characters the same way, I put the spells I use most (spam) in my bottom left toolbar from left to right so that's how I was playing it. It all came back to me after awhile. Wrangar is level 66 now so I am working on getting him to 68 so I can head to Northernd. Once you get to Northrend the last 12 levels go pretty quick. There are a lot of quests there and a lot of XP to be earned from each quest. On Wranngar and Gomorra I usually made around 200-300 gold a day just questing. Plus Wrangar is also a skinner with 433 skinning skill so he is ready to skin in Northrend. Wranngar will appreciate that :). I did a few more quests in Blades Edge Mountains after that and got a couple bars. I will try to work on him a little each day after I get my daily's done on Wranngar and Gomorra.

Northrend 4/12/09

I was really busy today. I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar before they rolled over this morning and then did them again after they rolled over. It was a pretty good gold making day between Wranngar and Gomorra. I did Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim on Wranngar this morning, then after they rolled over I did them again, then did Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter on Gomorra. Gomorra is 9967/12000 honored with The Sons of Hodir and Wranngar is 15675/21000 revered with them. Wranngar should have been exalted with them by now but I took some time off doing most of his daily's so I could spend more time leveling Gomorra. Now that they are both 80 I will be doing all my daily's every day. These daily quests are going faster and faster every day. The only one I really don't like is Hot and Cold. The reason I don't like this one is, when you throw your Essence of Ice on the Smoldering Scraps at Fjorn's Anvil anyone can loot it and most days someone does. I finally got so sick and tired of going back and farming more Essence of Ice I decided I would just do what everyone else is doing, loot someone else's if someone takes one of mine. Now I go in there with 5 Essence of Ice and I come out with 5 Frozen Iron Scraps. No more going back to farm one or two more. I don't like doing it but, as I said, I am sick of having to go farm more because other people rip mine off. This is one I will probably drop when I am exalted.

The daily cooking quest in Dalaran was Sewer Stew today so I flew down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. While I was picking them on Gomorra I didn't see anyone else there so I got the 4 I needed really fast. When I flew down on Wranngar there was one other person there picking and there was more than enough for 2 so it went fast for him as well. You can find these in Crystalsong Forest around 31,42. If you don't have coordinates they are loacted right under Dalaran. You can find your carrots by first teleporting down, then running due east towards the river. When I got back to Dalaran I grabbed 4 pieces of Chilled Meat for each from the guild bank and cooked up my Vegetable Stew. I delivered them to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return for him. Wranngar got a Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it plus 9g93s. A pretty good return for him today. I spent Wranngar's 2 awards on 20 more Northern Spices and now have 569 in the bank. I need to start cooking, I am becoming overstocked with meat. I got a lot of meat today when I was farming leather on Wranngar.

Gomorra also went and saw The Rokk, (61,15) in Shattrath and picked up his daily cooking. For some reason he does not have credit for doing any of them in the achievements and he is going to need to do them to get his Hail to the Chef achievement and Chef title. Yesterday's was Manalicious which requires you to go to Netherstorm and pick Mana Berries but today's was Revenge is Tasty so I was on my way to Skettis. Once I got there I had to fly around and get a Monstrous Kaliri to attack me. Once I had aggro I landed and killed him. I got my Giant Kaliri Wing on the first kill. I headed back to Shattrath and cooked it up with some Warp Burgers to make Kaliri Stew. I handed that back in to The Rokk and picked the barrel of fish but don't remember what I got lol. It was nothing too exciting but I need the meat from this quest because I also don't have credit for cooking any outlands recipes on Gomorra and I need to cook them all for the achievement. I have 2 of the Shattrath daily cooking quests done now, 3 more to go.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade after that. I did them on both Wranngar and Gomorra but Wranngar does a lot more of them. Gomorra is friendly with them and I think he will be able to pick up the rest when he is honored. Wranngar does From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and Intelligence Gathering while Gomorra is only doing Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire. I am still pulling some pretty good gold out of these dailys. These are pretty easy quests. Intelligence Gathering, From Their Corpese, Rise! and No Fly Zone are done in Onslaught Harbor while Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire and Shoot 'Em Up is done in Jotunheim. I usually get all the quests first, then go to Onslaught Harbor and hit Jotunheim on the way back after I turn in the Onslaught Harbor daily's at Death's Rise where you pick them up.

Leatherworking 4/12/09

I worked on Wranngar's Leatherworking some tonight. I got him up to level 441, only 9 more to go. I was hoping to make myself some Epic pants but there were no patterns available. I did make a pair of Giantmaim Legguards which I sent to Salintu along with a Frosthide Leg Armor kit to put on them. I couldn't attach the Frosthide Leg Armor because it causes the item to become soulbound. Being a Druid I can't wear Mail. Salintu reached 80 the other day on her first character :). I know how it feels to finally be done leveling, it is a gooood feeling. She beat me on Gomorra by 2 days.

The Horde attacked Ironforge again tonight trying to kill the king. I got there just in time and got 5 killing blows in. There weren't too many left and the one's that were left weren't feeling so hot :). There were a couple stragglers that came in after we cleaned out the kings room so we killed them too. A good time was had by everyone except the Horde. Ironforge is a dark place, it is a city carved into a mountain and that's why the picture is so dark. The king came through it unharmed.
