Hot and Cold

This is one of The Sons of Hodir daily rep quests. You pick up Hot and Cold from the Anvil you helped recover from Fjorn's Anvil when you were building your rep up to friendly with The Sons of Hodir. This is a relatively easy, if time consuming, quest. It is really a 2 part quest.

The first thing you need to do is loot Essence of Ice off the corpses of Brittle Revenants that you kill at Frostfield Lake. Frostfield Lake (69,59) is located east of where you pick up the quest. You need to get 5 Essence of Ice which will enable you to get the 5 pieces of Frozen Iron Scrap you need. I strongly suggest you get at least 6 Essence of Ice before you go on to the next part of the quest due to ninja's and two people hitting the same node at the same time. A lot of times you will lose one for one reason or another and it is better to have a spare than to have to go back and farm another one.

Once you have 5 (6) Essence of Ice you want to head over to Fjorn's Anvil for the next part of the quest. The entrance to this is located at the southeast end of Frostfield Lake (73,62). There you are going to want to use the Essence of Ice on the Smoldering Scraps found around Fjorn's Anvil. This will allow you to loot the Frozen Iron Scraps from them. The way you use the Essence of Ice is to right click on it while you are standing near a Smouldering Scrap. Sometimes it will go to the Smouldering Scrap you are standing right on top of and sometimes it will fly off in a random direction to another Smouldering Scrap, it is a crap shoot. This is where the misunderstandings can come in and you can lose a Essence of Ice. This is why it is a good idea to have an extra one along.

Once you have the 5 Frozen Iron Scraps you need you can head back and turn it in at the Anvil. The reward for this quest is 13g,23s and 250 reputation.

Good Luck :)

450 Fishing Skill - Gomorra

I got Gomorra's fishing skill to 450 this morning. I only needed 7 more points so I decided to go out and fish up some materials for some Fish Feast. I got enough mats to make 10 more by the time I hit 450 fishing skill. It takes 120 fish and 20 Northern Spices to make one stack of 20 Fish Feast. I was using Elixirs of Water Walking which just make it so much easier to fish schools. I still haven't checked to see what Fish Feast go for on the auction house since they stopped making them BoP but I bet it is a lot. Now I only need 4 more points in Tailoring and Gom will have all his primary and secondary skills maxed.
