Monsterbelly Appetite and Convention at the Legerdemain 11/6/09

I got on Wranngar right before the daily's rolled over again today. Today it was a race though, I didn't know if I would get the fishing handed in but I did. Today the cooking was Convention at the Legerdemain, a nice easy one, while the fishing was Monsterbelly Appetite, another easy one.

As usual I did the cooking first, running over the bank for some Chilled Meat to make my Northern Stew, then I was off to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran for a Jug of Wine. I found the Jug of Wine as soon as I walked in the door which was nice, all in all it made this daily really fast. I ran over to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it. Not a great haul today but not bad either.

I was off to Un'upe after that to catch a Bloated Monsterbelly. I had a hard time finding a Monsterbelly School but when I finally did I got it on the second cast. I hearthed back to Dalaran and turned it in to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today it had 9g55s39c, 2 Elixir of Water Walking, a Stuffed Shark Head and 4 Deviate Fish. Not a great return on this one today either.

I saw I was down to 10 Chilled Meat when I did the cooking today so I headed over to Sholazar Basin to farm some more. I ended up getting 30 Chilled Meat, 3 Rhino Meat, a lot of Borean Leather and a piece of Artic Fur. That was a better return than both the daily's combined :).

Daily's 5/11/09

Today I was able to do the daily cooking and fishing at the same time. Kind of. The daily cooking today, from Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, was Sewer Stew.

I took the portal or crystal or whatever you call it that you take down to Crystalsong Forest, then headed over and picked my Crystalsong Carrots. I made sure I grabbed 4 Chilled Meat from the guild bank before I left so I was able to make a fire and cook up my Vegetable Stew when I had my 4 carrots on Wranngar and Gomorra.

From there I headed over to Unu'pe to do the daily fishing quest I picked up from Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran. Today it was Monsterbelly Appetite. I flew out to the icebergs and found a school of Monsterbelly to fish. I got my Bloated Monsterbelly on the first cast on Wranngar and the second cast on Gomorra.

I headed back to Dalaran to deliver my Vegetable Stew to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly and the Severed Arm to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran where she is going to attempt to reunite it with it's owner. The rewards for these were the usual, nothing special or out of the ordinary.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir after that. I did them on both Wranngar and Gomorra. These go pretty quick, about a half hour on each, and pay pretty good. I get some good leather and meat from them too so I am not complaining at all. If you are interested in how to start doing the daily's for The Sons of Hodir check out this earlier post, Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's.

I did all my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade tonight. I picked up Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire! and Shoot 'Em Up from the Shadow Vault and From Their Corpses, Rise! and No Fly Zone from Death's Rise. I already had Intelligence Gathering that I was working on. I completed them all on both today for around 80 gold each. I am starting to build up my gold reserves after spending 8,000 gold on the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth.

Monsterbelly Appetite

We finally had a different daily for the daily fishing quest in Dalaran! Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for me. For this one you have to go and recover a fisherman's arm that was eaten by a Deep Sea Monsterbelly. The way you go about doing this is to catch Deep Sea Monsterbelly's until you catch a Bloated Monsterbelly. When you cut that open (loot it) you find the 'fisherman's arm'.

The Deep Sea Monsterbelly's can be found right off shore in Borean Tundra. Fly into Unu'pe then fly out to sea heading southeast. You can see some icebergs offshore and that is where you want to fish around. For those of you with coordinates it is around 30,66. You need 480+ fishing skill to catch the Monsterbelly's. They will be found in schools. If you have the 'fine art of fish finding' it is a lot easier because you can identify the schools on your mini map before you fly over to them. They are mixed in with Moonglow Cuttlefish schools so you can waste a little time checking out the wrong schools if you don't have gift of fish finding.

I got my Bloated Monsterbelly, which gave up the 'fisherman's arm', on the first cast on Gomorra and the second cast on Wranngar.

This quest does not get handed back in to the quest giver Marcia Chase, it get's handed in to Olisarra the Kind, the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange (36,37) in Dalaran. She is going to attempt to reunite the arm with the fisherman.

I turned the 'arms' in for a couple Bags of Fishing Treasures. Gom's had 8g55s60c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 3 Deviate Fish and 2 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass. Just to let you know how worthless they really are, I sold both of them to a vendor for a total of 10 copper. You take the good with the bad :). Still some good rewards to be had from this daily, I am looking forward to seeing what else I get. Wrann's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g19s39c, 4 Pygmy Oil and 5 Solid Gold Coins which I sold to a vendor for 5 gold. Now that was worth walking over to the vendor for. It only makes sense that a Solid Gold Coin would be worth a gold.

Yesterday I saw someone with a Jeweled Fishing Pole. It is one of the rewards you can get from the daily fishing quest in Dalaran and it's just what it sounds like, a fishing pole with jewels on it. It looks cool, and gives +30 to fishing skill, but it's definitely a chick pole. I'm not giving up my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole for it but I still want one just to add to my collection. Here is a screen shot of one I got off Thottbot.
