2 1/2 Years Playing WoW

I just realized it has been 2 1/2 years, the beginning of this month, since I started playing World of Warcraft. I started playing December 1st 2006 after seeing the South Park episode 'Make Love, Not Warcraft'. I had been hearing a lot about it from people at work before that and decided to check it out, the rest is history.

My very first character was a Human Warrior named Durgan on Aman'Thul. I got him to level 19 before I saw a Warlock on a Felsteed. Once I saw that I decided I had to have one.

Gomorra was born.

Gomorra is my Human level 80 Demon Lock. He got his Felsteed and now he rides a Dreadsteed. I leveled him to 70 as Destruction then respec'd Demonology just to check it out. I ended up really liking Demonology spec both in PvP and PvE play and stuck with it. I used to do a lot of battlegrounds on Gomorra and he has over 24,800 lifetime kills. I stopped PvPing on Gomorra when I started PvPing on my Druid, Wranngar. I want to start raiding on Gomorra and gear him that way.

I will dual spec Gomorra Destruction/Demonology, now that dual speccing is available, as I like Destruction too, I had a lot of fun with that and did a lot of damage.

Wranngar is my level 80 Night Elf Druid. He is spec'd Feral and I won't dual spec him as he is fine just the way he is. I decided I had to have one of these after watching them fight in the battlegrounds. I really love to PvP and Wranngar does a lot of PvP, he has over 58,000 lifetime kills. He is going for the title 'of the Alliance' that you get when you reach 100,000 lifetime kills. I am still in the process of gearing him for PvP since I had to toss all my epic 70 PvP gear when I reached level 80, it is a long process. I want to start doing Arena on him, something I have only done a couple times on Gomorra.

It has been a pretty good 2 1/2 half years, I hope the next 2 1/2 are as good.

Northrend Daily's 6/4/09

I did all my daily's today, I had been skipping them for awhile, got kind of burnt out on them. But I am back to doing them now. Wranngar has the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth and I am saving up my gold to get Gomorra the Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. The Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth cost me 8,000 gold for Wrann and the Reins of the Travelers Tundra Mammoth are going to run me 16,000 gold for Gom. The difference between the 2 is the Reins of the Travelers Tundra Mammoth has on board vendors and repair guys while the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth does not. They both carry the driver plus 2 passengers.

I did all my daily's for The Sons of Hodir, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. These only take me about a half hour on each toon and I get about 66 gold on each doing them.

The daily's for Knights of the Ebon Blade also take me about a half hour but pay around 80 gold on each as I do one more for them than I do for The Sons of Hodir. For the knights of the Ebon Blade I do Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire!, Shoot 'Em Up, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone and Intelligence Gathering. Once again these take me about half an hour and pay around 80 gold. I usually get around 10-15 extra gold just from drops doing this daily, I loot everything, and I get 15-20 extra gold a day doing The Sons of Hodir daily's.

Wrann also does Overstock in the Storm Peaks. This is a fast and easy daily that gets you around 13 gold (12g96s) for a few minutes of your time. Some people don't like this one because it doesn't give any rep with anyone but 13 gold for a few minutes works for me. I haven't been able to pick this up on Gom yet, there is a pre-quest I guess I haven't done yet, I will look into it.

Daily Cooking and Fishing 6/4/09

Today the daily cooking from Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and the daily fishing from Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, was Dangerously Delicious.

I did the cooking first which had me heading down into the sewers below Dalaran to pick Infused Mushrooms. It didn't go too bad today, I got the 4 I needed on each in a few minutes. There were some people doing it but not alot. On a bad day I will just leave and go do something else, a bad day being when everyone is trying to do it at once. On a good day, like today, I am in and out in a few minutes.

I headed over to the bank with my Infused Mushrooms to get some Chilled Meat to cook them up with. Each meatloaf takes 2 Chilled Meat.

Once I had my meatloafs cooked I delivered them to Orton Bennet upstairs at Curiosities and Moore in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. A Pretty good haul for Wrann.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag only had 3 Northern Spices in it, not a great haul for Gom today.

After that I headed over to Wintergrasp to do the daily fishing. The only place you can catch the 10 Terrorfish you need is to fish in Wintergrasp the PvP zone.

It didn't take me too long to catch the 10 I needed on each. There was no Horde interference today, probably because the battle was actually going on while I was fishing and the Horde were too busy losing. There were only a few other people there fishing at the time, usually there are quite a few there. It is still early though and I write it off to that.

I took my 10 Terrorfish back to Marcia Chase and handed them in in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Wrann's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g21s13c, 4 Pygmy Oil, a Tower Key which I sold to a vendor for 16g66s66c and 2 Deviate Fish. Not too bad a haul for Wrann with the tower key and all. It took him 16 casts to catch his 10 Terrorfish.

Gom's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g93s70c, 4 Pygmy Oil, an Unusual Compass and 2 Deviate Fish. Not a great haul for Gom on this one either.
