Overstock

Overstock is a daily I try to do every day because it is so fast and easy and it pays 12g96s for a few minutes time. You pick this up from Ricket at K3 in the Storm Peaks.

Once you pick up this quest from Ricket you'll want to head northeast over to Garm's Bane (57,64). You are given Improved Land Mines to use on this quest. You need to kill 12 invaders with the mines to complete the quest. You lay down a mine by right clicking on the mine in your inventory. I have a hot key ` that I have keyed to my toolbar that I use for all my quests that require you to use something repeatedly. I usually lay out my mines in a line from one side to the other and catch them when they run through. Be careful not to lay your mines too far apart, it usually takes 2 to kill one mob so you want to make sure if they hit one they are going to hit at least one other one too. I fill in holes where needed and the whole process usually only takes a couple minutes. There is no contact so there is no equipment damage.

Once you kill 12 you can head back to Ricket for payment. She gives you 12g96s and you are on your way. A lot of people don't like this daily because it doesn't give you rep with anyone but I say it is worth the few minutes it takes for the 13 gold it pays. I always stop and do this one on my way to do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir.

Good Luck :)

Daily Battleground 6/6/09

My daily battleground today was Strand of the Ancients. I queued up for it in Dalaran on Wranngar. I got in right at the start which is how I like it. We won the first one I was in and it went really quick, we just fought our way to the relic, killing and smashing anything and everything in our way. We weren't up against a very good team and that helped us win it fast lol. When it came time for the Horde's turn they got through 2 gates, we smashed all the gates when we were on offense, and then it was over, they ran out of time. I turned this is when I got out for gold and honor.

I did one Eye of the Storm battle too. We won that one but it was close, we won by less than 200 points. It didn't have to be that way, we had DR, MT and BET then everyone went flagtard and we lost MT. Then we lost DR. We managed to get everyone out of the middle long enough to get FRR but then they were right back in the middle instead of getting the 3rd node. I helped capture BET and stayed there and guarded it throughout the battle. I saw a lot of action there, from FRR and then after we lost it, DR. I kept busy :). I think I am at around 46,000 honor so I should be able to get a new piece of gear soon.

Travelers Tundra Mammoth 6/6/09

I am about half way to Gomorra's Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. It is going to cost him 16,000 gold exalted with Kirin Tor. That's twice as much as I paid for Wranngar's Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth. The Travelers Tundra Mammoth has an onboard vendor and repair person, that's what makes up the extra 8,000 gold I guess, wages.

I did all my daily's today on both Gom and Wrann. 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. The only one I don't do for them is Thrusting Hodir's Spear because it's too hard and not worth it in my opinion. I get about 66 gold a day on each toon for doing these. They take me about a half hour on each.

I did all the daily's 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 for them. Intelligence Gathering I only hand in once a week or so, it just takes too long to try and get 5 documents every day. It can take you as long to get 5 documents, and the keys you need to open the chests, as it does it do the other 5 quests. It's just not worth it to waste the time on it when I could be doing something else. I open a chest when I find one and if I get a document 'woot', if not I just carry on. Eventually I will get the 5 I need and turn it in. When I turn in all 6 of these I get around 80 gold on each toon.

I did the daily cooking from Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, it was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf today. The daily fishing from Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, was Monsterbelly Appetite and I did that too. I didn't get any rewards from either of those worth mentioning.

I did Overstock on Wrann today too, this is a fast and easy daily I try never to miss. You pick it up in K3 and it only takes a couple minutes to complete. You hand it in and get 12g96s. I will be doing a walkthrough on this quest shortly.

I am going to do some battlegrounds after supper, my daily today is Strand of the Ancients.
