Brieanna - Level 57 and Grand Master Skinning 1/25/10

Brieanna got her Grand Master Skinning training today when she reached 375 skinning. That means, before ever questing in Outlands, she will be able to skin anything in Outlands. I am sure she will be able to skin everything in Northrend long before she gets there. I had to take the boat from Stormwind to Northrend to get my training, it cost me 35 gold.

I also got her Herbalism up to 238 tonight. I ran all over the place and had to train at 225 to go to 300. I am at the point where I can pick a lot of the Herbs in the area's where I am questing again, but I want to get it up to 250-275 so I don't run into the problem of not being able to pick something. I am going to have to really keep on top of it this time because I hate having to go back and level up a profession. The only plus side to it I can see is the mobs don't even see me when I am there as long as I don't bump into them.

I also got her to level 57 tonight. I did that before I worked on her Herbalism and after I got my Grand Master Skinning training. I was in Western Plaguelands when she leveled. One more level until I am in Outlands, 3 more levels before she is fighting in Alterac Valley. Before she leveled I was questing in Winterspring. I had one quest there where I was killing level 59 and 60 elites. It was close but I did it, they were 3 and 4 levels above me at the time and elite.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 1/25/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had The Ghostfish for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily fishing quest. This one is really easy but I hate the travel time involved.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to the flight point at 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 on Wranngar on his 10th cast and Gomorra got his on his 8th cast. I usually have pretty good luck there, getting my Ghostfish in 10 casts or less.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and told Marcia I figured out the secret. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g80s13c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 4 Deviate Fish and a Whale Statue, that I sold to a vendor for 11 gold, in it. Not a great day of fishing for Wrann but the statue made up for it a little.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g60s70c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Diamond-tipped Cane. Gom got screwed on this one today.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 1/25/10

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 Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest.

This had me heading down into the Underbelly, the sewers below Dalaran, to pick Infused Mushrooms. This recipe calls for 4 and I got them pretty quick today. Once I had those I was off to the bank to grab some Chilled Meat for the other part of the recipe. I cooked my meatloafs at a fire someone had going inside the bank then headed over to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore. I exchanged the meatloafs for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices in it. Not as good a haul as Wrann but not bad either.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 1/24/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she had Blood Is Thicker for the daily fishing quest. I did it on both Wranngar and Gomorra. This is an easy one, the only thing I don't like about it is the travel time although I took advantage of that to get my daily battleground out of the way.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to to the flight point in Un'upe, in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. Killing that gets me covered in blood which is part of the quest. Covered in blood I flew back to the shore and jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. You catch them 2 and 3 at a time so it doesn't take long.

Once I had my 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I traded her the Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g54s28c, 4 Pygmy Oil and 2 Solid Gold Coins. Wrann has had better days of fishing.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g79s75c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking, 2 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass and a Waterlogged Recipe. I love getting a Waterlogged Recipe, it starts a quest to take 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 your trouble. It only takes a few seconds to ride from Marcia to Christi and pays well, you can't beat it. Needless to say, Gom had a good day of fishing today.

Daily Cooking - Mustard Dogs 1/24/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Mustard Dogs! for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest.

This one had me running all over Dalaran picking Wild Mustard in the grassy areas. I started out behind A Hero's Welcome, that is usually good for at least 2. I had no problem getting the rest I needed, 4 on each, as there seemed to be no one else doing it at that time. When I had the 4 I needed I headed over to the bank and grabbed 4 pieces of Rhino Meat to make the Rhino Dogs this recipe calls for. I cooked up the Rhino Dogs and combined them in the Empty Picnic Basket, I was given when I picked up the quest, to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took that over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing and exchanged it for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag. He's a man who likes his Mustard Dogs and is pretty free with the Dalaran Cooking Awards.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 4 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul for Gom either.
