Children's Week

Children's Week is on us once again, May 1st through May 7th. This is the second year I have taken part in this. The objective of Children's Week is to take an Orphan out and show them a good time. I got the same Orphans as I had last year. I got Dornaa from the Orphanage in Shattrath City and an unnamed Human Orphan from the Orphanage in Stormwind.

I took Dornaa to see the Dark Portal, she wanted to see it from the Outlands side (not the Azeroth side it turns out), The Exodar, The Caverns of Time and a few other places. I think she had a pretty good time, I got her a Toy Dragon from The Caverns of Time. While we were at the Exodar she saw someone she had dreamed about. He encouraged her to do what she did in her dream, summon 4 Elementals, which she did. I wonder who/what she will grow up to be.

I took the unnamed Human Orphan to see the bank in Darnassus, the Lighthouse in Westfall, I took him to see, and got him, Jaina Proudmoore's Autograph in Theramore and a couple other places. I got him some ice cream and he seemed to have a pretty good time too.

As a reward for taking Dornaa, the Orphan from Shattrath, to all the places she wanted to go I got Egbert's Egg on Wranngar and Elekk Training Collar on Gomorra.

As a reward for taking the unnamed Human, from Stormwind, to all the places he wanted to go I got Whiskers the Rat on both Wranngar and Gomorra.

I grabbed both of them again as soon as I turned them in so I can complete some more achievements.

Sewer Stew

This is a pretty easy quest and is the only one that you need to leave Dalaran for to get mats. If you're Alliance you get Sewer Stew from Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome. If you're Horde you get it from Awilo Lon'gomba (70,38), inside The Filthy Animal next to Krasus' Landing.

The materials you need for this daily are 4 Crystalsong Carrots and 4 Chilled Meat.

You will find the Crystalsong Carrots in Crystal Song Forest right below Dalaran (around 29,42) near some ruins by the river. They look like giant carrots sticking out of the ground and, being a quest item, they sparkle. You need to run around and right click on them to loot them. Once you have 4 Crystalsong Carrots you cook them up with your 4 Chilled Meat to make Vegetable Stew.

When you have your Vegetable Stew cooked up you can deliver it to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly. He will give you 9g93s, at least one Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag that can contain any, or all, of the following:

Northern Spices
Old Spices
Baby Spice
Dalaran Cooking Award
And if you don't have it, Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Cake. (This is a rare drop, 1.7%)

This is another easy quest, just remember to keep some Rhino Meat and Chilled Meat on hand, it makes these daily's go so much quicker.

Good Luck :)

Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth

I got the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth for Wranngar the other day. It's a huge mount that can carry myself plus 2 passengers for a total of 3 riders. It doesn't have vendors on board like the Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth but it is also 8,000 gold cheaper. For 8,000 gold I can live without the vendors :).

You get the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth from The Sons of Hodir. You can purchase it from Lillehoff, the Sons of Hodir Quartermaster, for 8,000 gold when you are exalted with them. He also has Reins of the Ice Mammoth for 850 gold at revered, 800 gold at exalted, some patterns and some nice inscriptions plus gear and weapons.

I thought it was pretty easy to get to exalted with The Sons of Hodir, I am exalted on both Gomorra and Wranngar. Everyone starts off hated with The Sons of Hodir, then you have to do a quest line to become friendly with them and unlock The Sons of Hodir daily's.

One of my earlier posts, Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's, has all the information you need about that along with a complete list of the quests you will need to do to become friendly and unlock the daily's.
