Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 2/28/10

Today when Brieanna went to see what Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had for her she got Jewel Of The Sewers. This is an easy one and the only daily fishing quest you don't have to leave Dalaran for.

This had me heading down into the sewers below Dalaran, in the Underbelly, to my spot at the Black Market. I always have good luck there and there is rarely ever anyone else fishing there. Today I got the piece of Corroded Jewelry I was after in 7 casts. That only took a couple minutes and I was on my way back up to see Marcia. I traded her the piece of Corroded Jewelry for a Bag of Fishing Treasures, which today had 7g28s80c, 3 Pygmy Oil and an Unusual Compass in it. Not the best return on this one today.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 2/28/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Cheese for Glowergold for Brieanna's daily cooking quest. This used to be my least favorite but it has risen in the ranks because it does not use any of my mats although I still find the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses hard to target.

This one has me running all over Dalaran looking for Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. I usually get all 6 of them between A Hero's Welcome, Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly and One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop. I also get the piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger at One More Glass. If I can't find the 6 I need in those places I will hit The Legerdemain for the rest.

Once I have all the ingredients I combine them, on the platter supplied when I picked up the quest, to make a wine and cheese platter. I took that and delivered it to Ranid Glowergold (36,28) at the Leatherworkers in the Magus Commerce Exchange in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices in it. Not the best return on this one today. I have around 530 Northern Spices in the bank though so I am not worried about running out.

Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 2/27/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Jewel Of The Sewers for Brieanna. This is a nice easy one you don't even have to leave Dalaran to complete.

This had me heading down to the Black Market in the sewers below Dalaran. I have my spot there that I always have good luck in. I got down there and started fishing, as usual there was no one around. It took me 7 casts today to get my piece of Corroded Jewelry. Brieanna's fishing skill is 450 now so she should have no more problem fishing anywhere.

Once I had the piece of Corroded Jewelry I headed back up to see Marcia. I exchanged the Piece of Corroded Jewelry for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g59s3c, 4 Pygmy Oil, a Battered Jungle Hat and 3 Deviate Fish. Not a great haul today. I keep hoping to get a Jeweled Fishing Pole or some Eternium Fishing Line, maybe even a Strand Crawler, but no luck yet.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 2/27/10

Today the daily cooking quest was Sewer Stew. I did it on Brieanna.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick Crystalsong Carrots. Once again there was no one there so the picking went pretty quick, I was in and out of there in under 3 minutes. Once I had the 4 I needed I took the gate back up to Dalaran and headed over to the bank for some Chilled Meat. I built a fire in the middle of the bank and cooked up my stew.

I took the stew down to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. A pretty average return on this one today.

Kalu'ak Fishing Dreby 2/26/10

Brieanna took part in the Kalu'ak Fishing Dreby today. It was the first fishing derby any of my characters had ever been in. The objective is to catch a Blacktip Shark and return to hand it in, in Dalaran, before anyone else.

The person holding the event says "You can catch a Blacktip Shark anywhere you catch Pygmy Suckerfish". I headed over to my spot in Sholazar Basin and it took me 40 minutes to catch my Blacktip Shark. I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see the event organizer. Needless to say I wasn't the first one to hand one in, but I did get a consolation prize of a Bag of Fishing Treasures, so it wasn't for nothing.

The Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g19s11c, 3 Pygmy Oil and a New Age Painting signed by Marcia Chase which I sold to a vendor for 25 gold. Not much of a reward for the 40 minutes I spent but it was still exciting to participate and I will probably do it again next week.

I also got Brieanna's fishing skill leveled up to 450 during the fishing derby today and that was worth it right there.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 2/26/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she gave me Blood Is Thicker for my daily cooking quest. I did this one on Brieanna today.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. Killing one of those, or any of the animals the Druids protect, gets you covered in blood. Once I was covered in blood I flew back to shore and jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished the blood pool for Bloodtooth Frenzy, you need 5 for this quest. I got the 5 I needed in 2 casts, I got 2 the first cast and 3 the second.

With those in hand I flew back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I turned the Bloodtooth Frenzy over to her and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g52s25c, a Glow Worm, a Battered Jungle Hat and 2 Deviate Fish in it. Not the best day of fishing for Brieanna today.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 2/26/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for me. I did this one on Brieanna today. I also sold 2 pieces of Chilled Meat to someone, for 5 gold, who was obviously doing this daily too. I guess they don't keep meat on hand for the daily. That can be expensive.

This had me heading down into the sewers to pick Infused Mushrooms. This went pretty quick today, I checked all my usual spots and found one in each. With Mushrooms in hand I headed back up to the bank to grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to make my meatloaf. I cooked it up right there in the bank then headed over to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore. I gave him the meatloaf and he gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices in it. An ok haul today.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 2/25/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, for my daily fishing quest, she gave me Monsterbelly Appetite. I did this one on Brieanna today.

This had me taking the flight path to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. One there I flew out to the icebergs you can see from the flight point. I turned on fish finding and flew around until I found a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly, then fished that until I caught a Bloated Monsterbelly. When I opened that up I got the Severed Arm this quest is looking for.

I took the Severed Arm back to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran and exchanged it for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. She is going to try to reunite the arm with the fisherman who lost it. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g98s55c, 3 Pygmy Oil, a Whale Statue, which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold, and 4 Deviate Fish. Not the best day of fishing.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 2/25/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for Brieanna's daily cooking quest. This is a quick easy one but takes a lot of mats.

This had me running over to the bank for 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to make the 4 Northern Stew I needed. I cooked that up right in the bank. Then I was off to One More Glass for a Jug of Wine. Once I had the wine and stew I headed over to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain and exchanged them for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 6 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices in it. A pretty good haul today.

Uvuros

Brieanna tamed Uvuros tonight. Uvuros is a level 70 elite Core Hound found in Shadowmoon Valley. He is an exotic pet and as a Beastmaster Hunter you have to have the exotic pet talent to tame it. This is her second exotic pet. Her first was The Kurken, also a Core Hound. The Kurken is white and Uvuros is green. There is one more I need to finish out the set, the red one from Molten Core. She named Uvuros Labyrinth and The Kurken Nightmare. When she gets the red one from Molten Core it will be named Gatekeeper.

A friend, Leonvx, helped me tame Uvuros. He is a Priest and kept me bubbled and healed during the 20 seconds it takes to tame it. I love the Core Hounds as hunter pets, they have lava breath, and around 20,000 armor at level 80. They do some pretty nice damage. I need to level this one up now, it was a level 70 elite when I tamed it, now it is level 75. Any pet you tame jumps from whatever level they are to 5 levels below you assuming you are over 5 levels above it, if there is less than 5 levels difference it just stays the level it is. A hunter can tame a pet that is his/her level or lower.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 2/24/10

Today I picked up The Ghostfish from Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, for the daily cooking quest. This is an easy one but requires some travel time. This one actually requires the most travel time as you have to go the farthest to do it. I did this one on Brieanna today.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to River's Heart in Sholazar Basin. From there I flew up to my spot up top and a little northwest of the flight point. I got my Phantom Ghostfish in 7 casts today which was pretty good for Brieanna. Her fishing is coming along though, up to 400 skill now. I ate the fish as soon as I got it because it is on a 60 second timer and will disappear if you don't eat it. That gave me Invisibility for 15 seconds.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and told Marcia what I found out. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my efforts. Today it had 7g19s60c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 4 Deviate Fish and a Sealed Vial of Poison in it. Sealed Vial of Poison starts a quest. The quest is to deliver it to Alchemist Cinesra. He is located in the Black Market in the Underbelly. He gives you 13g23s for your trouble, not a bad deal.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 2/24/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Sewer Stew for the daily cooking quest. I did this one on Brieanna. This is a nice easy one and the only one you have to leave Dalaran to complete assuming you keep some meat on hand for the daily's, which you should.

This one had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick Crystalsong Carrots. There was no one there again today so the picking went pretty quick. Once I had the 4 I needed I took the gate back up to Dalaran and hit the bank for some Chilled Meat. I cooked that up with the carrots and made my meatloaf.

I took that over and delivered it to Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices and 5 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul today.

Daily Fishing - Dangerously Delicious 2/22/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Dangerously Delicious for Brieanna's daily fishing quest. This is a dangerous daily as you have to go into the combat zone and you are flagged for PvP.

I took the flight path from Dalaran to Wintergrasp and started fishing right next to where I landed. It didn't take me long at all to catch the 10 Terrorfish I needed and I didn't see any Horde the whole time I was there. There were a couple other people fishing at the same time and the Horde will only attack if they have you outnumbered at least 3 to 1 and there probably weren't that many around. We held Wintergrasp as usual.

Once I was done there I flew back to Dalaran and turned over the 10 Terrorfish to Marcia in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today it had 9g87s24c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and 2 Worthless Pieces of White Glass. Not the best day of fishing for Brieanna today but I can't complain, she has cleaned up on the daily fishing quests in Dalaran and Outlands.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 2/22/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Sewer Stew for Brieanna's daily cooking quest. This is the only daily cooking quest you need to leave Dalaran for assuming you keep some meat on hand for the daily's.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick Crystalsong Carrots. Once you gate down there you want to fly over until you are at the ruins directly beneath Dalaran. I had no problem getting my 4 carrots today, there was no one else there and they were everywhere. I took the gate back up to Dalaran and headed over to the bank for the 4 pieces of Chilled Meat I needed to cook them up with, then I built a fire and cooked my stew.

I took that down and delivered it to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul today.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 2/21/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she had Blood Is Thicker for the daily cooking quest. This is a nice easy one but has a little travel time. I didn't mind before because I could do my daily's for The Kalu'ak while I was there but I am exalted with them now and have my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole so I stopped doing them. They only pay out a total of 17 gold a day.

Anyway, this had me taking the flight path to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once I landed there I flew straight inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. Killing one of the animals the Druids protect gets you covered in blood which is part of the quest. Covered in blood I flew back to the shore and jumped in to create a blood pool. I fished in that until I caught the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy I needed.

I flew back to Dalaran and handed over the Bloodtooth Frenzy to Marcia in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today it had 8g94s50c, 3 Pygmy Oil, a Tower Key which I sold to a vendor for 16g66s66c, and 4 Deviate Fish. Not a bad haul today with the Tower Key.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 2/21/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for the daily cooking quest. I did it on Brieanna only today.

This had me heading over to the bank to grab some Chilled Meat to make the 4 Northern Stew I needed, then over to One More Glass for a Jug of Wine. Once I had everything I needed I headed over to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain. I gave him the Stew and Wine in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad haul today.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 2/20/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she gave her Mustard Dogs! for her daily cooking quest. This is a nice easy one although I think the Wild Mustard is kind of hard to target.

This one had me running around Dalaran looking for Wild Mustard. You can find it in all the grassy areas of Dalaran and don't forget to look in the courtyard behind A Hero's Welcome, I usually get at least 2 there. Once I had the 4 Wild Mustard I needed I headed over to the bank to grab some Rhino Meat to make the Rhino Dogs. I always keep a bunch of meat on hand for the daily's, no need to go farm it every day. I built a fire and cooked the Rhino Dogs then combined them with the Wild Mustard to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took the Mustard Dog Basket! over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing and exchanged it for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. That is enough rewards from that one quest to buy another recipe which I did.

Daily Fishing - Dangerously Delicious 2/20/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she gave her Dangerously Delicious. I had never done this one on Brieanna before. This is the one where you have to go into Wintergrasp, the combat zone, and catch 10 Terrorfish. Completing this one gave me the achievement Chasing Marcia.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Wintergrasp. Once there I went over to the lake right next to the flight point and started fishing. It only took me about 5 minutes to catch my 10 Terrorfish and I was out of there. I didn't see any Horde while I was there which is good. Sometimes 8 or 10 of them like to get together and attack people fishing. I flew back to Dalaran and turned the Terrorfish over to Marcia in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g80s44c, 3 Pygmy Oil, 2 Crafted Star, 4 Deviate Fish and a Waterlogged Recipe. Waterlogged Recipe starts a quest. The quest is to deliver the recipe to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it. Not a bad deal.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 2/18/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had The Ghostfish for our daily fishing quest. This one has the farthest travel distance and time out of all the daily fishing quests. I did it on Wranngar, Gomorra and Brieanna today.

This one had me taking the flight path out of Dalaran to Sholazar Basin. From there I flew up top and a little northwest of where I landed to my spot. I didn't take me too long to catch my Phantom Ghostfish today, Gomorra got his in 8 casts, Wranngar got his in 8 casts and Brieanna hers in 18 casts. She is still taking the most time to catch things but I attribute that to her fishing skill only being 370. I ate the Phantom Ghostfish as soon as I caught it because it is on a timer and you only have 60 seconds to eat it before it disappears. Eating it puts you into a state called Invisibility which is a somewhat surreal state. I hearthed back to Dalaran to tell Marcia what I found out. She gave us all a Bag of Fishing Treasures for our trouble.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g51s41c, 5 Pygmy Oil, a Tower Key which I vendored for 16g66s66c, and a Waterlogged Recipe. Waterlogged Recipe starts a quest to deliver the recipe to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it. Not a bad deal at all.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g23s98c, 5 Pygmy Oil and 2 Worthless PIeces of Orange Glass in it. He didn't make out so well today.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g83s81c, 5 Pygmy Oil and an Unusual Compass in it, she didn't make out so well either.

Shattrath Daily Fishing - Crocolisks in the City 2/18/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, to pick up the Outlands daily fishing quest he gave her Crocolisks in the City. This is an easy one, you just have to take the Shattrath portal to Stormwind.

In Stormwind I headed over to my spot in the canals and got right to fishing. It took me 8 casts to get the Baby Crocolisk I was after. I was on my way back to Shattrath after that. That is a bit of a trip, I had to use my hearthstone to get back to Dalaran then run over to the portals in Dalaran and take the portal back to Shattrath, then I flew over to Old Man Barlo to hand in the Baby Crocolisk in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today her Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g58s18c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks a Piece of Polished Driftwood and Muckbreath's Bucket. This is another version of the baby crocolisk pet. Now I have 3 of them, Toothy's Bucket, Snarly's Bucket and Muckbreath's Bucket. I am getting stocked up on pets just from fishing.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 2/18/10

Today when I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for the daily cooking quest. I did this on Wranngar, Gomorra and Brieanna.

This had me heading down into the sewers below Dalaran to pick some Infused Mushrooms. I had no problem finding the 4 I needed on each, no one else was doing it at the time. From there it was back up top to hit the bank and grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook it up with.

I cooked it right in the bank then headed over to deliver it to Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore. He is right across the plaza from the bank I use so it is a pretty quick trip. I exchanged the meatloaf with him for gold and rewards.

Today Wranngar got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices in it.

Gomorra got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it.

Brieanna got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it.

Level 80! 2/17/10

Brieanna hit level 80 today. She reached level 70 in 11 total days played and level 80 in 15 total days played. Days played are just what they sound like, 24 hour days. I think if I didn't bother leveling up professions and secondary skills, and didn't screw around in the battlegrounds, I could have done it in 10 days played or less. I didn't use any type of leveling mods with her.

Gomorra, my first character, hit level 70 in 49 total days played. What a difference in time.

Wranngar, my second character, hit level 70 in 23 days played. Quite a difference between him and Gomorra, and quite a difference between him and Brieanna.

I was able to equip the couple pieces of PvP gear I had been able to get plus the new gun and a cape Wranngar made for her so she is not completely ungeared but is definitely under geared. That's ok, now it's time to spend some time in the battlegrounds. She already has a little under 20,000 honorable kills. I really like fighting in the battlegrounds on her with the ranged weapons she has.

She has her two primary professions, Skinning and Herbalism, at 450. For her secondary professions she has Cooking at 450, First Aid at 450 and her fishing is at 370, need to work on that some more. Her riding skill is 300, she can pilot any type of land or flying mount, with the exception of the Helicopter which requires Engineering and Magic Carpet which requires Tailoring.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 2/16/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for our daily fishing quest. I did it on Wranngar, Gomorra and Brieanna.

This had me taking the flight path to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew out to the icebergs to find a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly to fish from. I didn't have any problem finding a school today and got my Bloated Monsterbelly in a few casts. I cut that open (looted) and got the Severed Arm I was after out of it.

I headed back to see Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran and give her the Severed Arm in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. She is going to attempt to reunite the arm with the fisherman who lost it. I say good luck with that, she must be a miracle worker.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g92s99c, 3 Pygmy Oil, a New Age Painting signed by Marcia Chase, which I sold to a vendor for 25 gold, 4 Deviate Fish and a Runic Mana Potion. I have been hanging on to the Deviate Fish lately instead of selling them because I can get 25 gold a stack for Savory Deviate Delight, which Gomorra has the recipe for, on the auction house. Wrann made out pretty good today.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g7s15c, 3 Pygmy Oil, a Whale Statue, which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold, and 4 Deviate Fish. Gom made out alright today.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had8g31s91c, a Glow Worm and an Unusual Compass in it. Not a great day of fishing for Brieanna today.
