Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 3/2/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Blood Is Thicker for Brieanna. Another easy one with a little travel time involved.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland until I spotted a Marsh Caribou. What you need to do for this quest is kill something the Druids protect, which will get you covered in blood. Just make sure you don't go near the Druids while you are covered in blood, they are tree huggers but not above killing someone covered in blood. Anyway, the first one I killed didn't do the trick, you have to have some good close up contact with it to get covered in blood. The second one did the trick though and I was on my way back to the shore. At the shore I jumped in the water, washing the blood off and making a blood pool. I fished in the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. Once I had those I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia.

I turned the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy over to her and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. I keep hoping to get something good and sometimes I do. Today was not one of those days. My Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g34s22c, a Glow Worm, 2 Worthless Pieces of White Glass and 3 Deviate Fish. Certainly nothing to write home about there.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 3/2/10

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 is a pretty easy one, personally I find the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses hard to target but at least it doesn't use any of my mats.

This one had me running around Dalaran looking for Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. You can find them in most the shops, inns, anywhere people may leave them laying around. I got 4 before I even left A Hero's Welcome today. I got the other 2 in One More Glass when I went to get the piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger this one calls for. Once I had all the ingredients I combined them on the platter, supplied when I picked up the quest, to make a wine and cheese platter.

I took the wine and cheese platter 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 with 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad return on this one today.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 3/1/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, sent Brieanna to Sholazar Basin to catch the elusive Ghostfish. The daily she gave her was The Ghostfish. This is another easy daily but not so quick, there is quite a bit of travel time involved.

As I said this had me heading to Sholazar Basin. I took the flight path out of Dalaran to Rivers Heart in Sholazar Basin, then flew up to my spot up top and a little northwest of the flight point. Once there I set right to fishing until I caught a Phantom Ghostfish. I ate that right away as it is on a timer that starts clocking as soon as you loot it, you have 60 seconds before it disappears. Eating the Phantom Ghostfish puts you into a state called Invisibility, it is kind of a surreal state, you would have to experience it to understand.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to tell Marcia that I had solved the mystery. She was pretty impressed and gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my troubles. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g2s6c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking, a Velociraptor Skull, 4 Deviate Fish and 2 Runic Mana Potions. All pretty much junk except the Elixirs of Water Walking and the Runic Mana Potions. I do keep the Deviate Fish and make Savory Deviate Delight out of them too, I get 22-25 gold a stack for them on the auction house.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 3/1/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, for the daily cooking, she got Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. This is a quick simple one that doesn't use too many of my mats.

This had me heading down into the sewers to pick Infused Mushrooms. The recipe calls for 4 and it didn't take me long at all to get them. Once again it seemed like no one else was doing while I was. I guess that is one of the benefits of living in the U.S. and being on an Oceanic server, everyone is sleeping while I am doing it. Once I had the 4 I needed I headed back up top and hit the bank for the 2 pieces of Chilled Meat I needed. I built a fire in the bank and cooked my meatloaf right there.

I took the meatloaf 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 which today had 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul today. I was able to get another recipe today too, that leaves only 6 or 7 of the Northrend recipes I don't have yet.
