At Friendly you can do the following daily's:
Blowing Hodir's Horn - (+250 Rep)
Hot and Cold - (+250 Rep)
Polishing the Helm - (+250 Rep)

At Honored you can add these daily's:
Spy Hunter - (+350 Rep)
Thrusting Hodir's Spear - (+500 Rep)

At Revered you can pick up this daily:
Feeding Arngrim - (+350 Rep)

I hope this was helpful.

Good Luck :)

The Sons of Hodir - Exalted

The Sons of Hodir Exalted 4/16/09

I didn't have a whole lot of time tonight so I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar. He was so close to becoming exalted all I needed to do was one more night. I actually handed in all my quests then became exalted when I handed in my relics. It was close. Wranngar is not really the one that needed to become exalted with them, Gomorra is because he needs Pattern: Glacial Bag, a 22 slot bag, for his Tailoring. I got Greater Inscription of the Axe for Wranngar, and this opens up the door to get the Reins of the Ice Mammoth for 800 gold and Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth for 8,000 gold. Naturally I did Overstock on my way to do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir, this is a really fast, really easy quest that pays around 13 gold. I would be crazy to skip it. I was reading up on this quest and seeing what people had to say on Thottbot and some people were saying "Why would anyone waste their time on this, there is no rep?". I'll tell you why I waste my time on it, it is a really fast, really easy quest that pays around 13 gold. What more reason do I need?

I did have enough time to do the daily cooking in Dalaran on both characters. Today it was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf so I was off to the sewers to pick some Infused Mushrooms. It didn't take too long before I was cooking them up with some Chilled Meat to make my meatloaf's. I delivered those to Orton Bennet at Curiosities and Moore and he gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 5 Old Spices in it. Wranngar got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices in it. I'm not sure what Orton has against Wranngar but he seems to like Gomorra more. Once again I saved my award on Wranngar towards the purchase of a Chef's Hat for the cooking achievement. 100 Dalaran Cooking Awards to get that :(. That's a lot of Northern Spices.

Northrend 4/15/09

I got Wranngar and Gomorra all spec'd up again tonight. I hate it when they refund all your points, it seems like when I finally get them they way I like them they refund all your points. Anyway they are both spec'd again and life goes on.

I did the daily cooking first thing tonight. It was Sewer Stew so I headed down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. I needed 4 on each. Once I had those I grabbed some Chilled Meat out of the guild bank, cooked up some Vegetable Stew and delivered it to my innkeeper, 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 2 Northern Spices in it. Hardly worth getting out of bed for Gomorra. Wranngar got a Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices in it and 9g93s. A much better day for him than Gomorra. For a change I didn't spend my award on more Northern Spices, I hung onto it instead. They now have a chef hat you can buy for 100 awards. I saw the price and decided not to get it until I saw they made it part of the cooking achievements. I want to get all the cooking achievements done so I will have to buy one now...

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on both tonight. They are both doing all the same quests now that Gomorra is revered with them. I do them on one then I go back and do them on the other, it's not boring, really..... anyway I did them all, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. These take me 25-30 minutes on each, and I make about 66 gold on each, so it's not too bad. Wranngar also did Overstock in the Storm Peaks on his way there, a quick easy quest that pays around 13 gold.

I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's after that, Gomorra is doing Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire! while Wranngar does those 2 plus From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Shoot 'Em Up and Intelligence Gathering. I actually got the last documents I needed for Intelligence Gathering and turned that in tonight too. Wranngar is exalted with them but Gomorra is only friendly. I will look around and see if there are any more quests I can do for them on Gomorra to get more rep.

I made a couple pieces of cloth on Gomorra tonight, my cooldown was up on Ebonweave and Moonshroud so I made 2 pieces of Ebonweave and one piece of Moonshroud. I can make 2 pieces of Ebonweave at a time because I am a Shadow Tailor.
