Wranngar - 4/5/11

I have been working on getting my Druid Wranngar geared and getting his professions and skills up to maximum level.

So far it is coming along well. One week after leveling him to 85 he has a 350 item level, has his Leatherworking, Skinning, Cooking and First Aid at the maximum 525 and his Fishing at 498. I have all the 359 Cataclysm patterns for Leatherworking and am currently running heroic's for Chaos Orbs. I currently have 3 Chaos Orbs but can always use more. Chaos Orbs are BoP (Bind on Pickup) so if I am going to make 359 items I am going to need to run heroic's to get them. Usually when you are making a 359 item for someone else they will supply all the mats and you will supply the orbs for a price. The going rate for orbs is 200g-300g on my server. That means if I make a piece for someone and use 3 of my orbs I will make a profit of 600g-900g on the orbs plus a tip. One Chaos Orb drops off the last boss in every heroic dungeon and it is rolled on by everyone there who can use it. I ran 6 dungeons and got one orb so they are not piling up but over time they will.

Wranngar is geared pretty well now, his item level is 350 and all of his gear is either 346 ilvl or 359 ilvl. I am working on getting the 359 trinket from Baradin's Wardens and have about a week of doing their daily's every day before I can get that. I was running specific dungeons for gear until I got all the 346 pieces I needed with the exception of a weapon. I was hoping to get the polearm from the Lost City of the Tol'vir but didn't have any luck after running it for 5 consecutive days. You can only choose to run a specific heroic dungeon once a day, after that it might come up in the random dungeon queue allowing you to run it again or it might not. I ended up getting the Spear of Trailing Shadows from Baradin's Wardens which set me back some on getting my trinket.

I am also working on my reputation with all the Cataclysm Factions and that is coming along well. I have gotten all the rep pieces I can and am now working on getting my reputation to exalted with the other factions that don't have anything I need. Who knows, in future patches they might get something I need so better safe than sorry.

Thunder Falls

Thunder Falls is one of the new daily fishing quests you can get from Catherine Leland (55,69) who is located on a dock in the canals in Stormwind. For those without coords it is the dock between Trade District and Mage District.

Description:

Arnold and I have been fishing in and around Stormwind for years now. That's the kind of time it takes to find a good fishing spot. One of my favorites is called Thunder Falls.

It's just south of Stormwind in Elwynn Forest. Best part about Thunder Falls is the violet perch. I have never seen them anywhere else, only up there in at the falls. It's a bit of hike for me and Arnold to get out there these days though, do you think you could head up there and fetch some of those perch for us?

For this one all you need to do is head over to Thunder Falls (25,59) in Elwynn Forest. They are located just a little southwest of the gate to Stormwind. You want to go to the top of the falls to fish. There are some low level mobs there that might take offense to you being there but as they are only level 9 or so they are not a problem. There is a better than 50% catch rate so it only takes 5 or 6 casts to get the 4 Violet Perch you need.

Once you have those you can head back to Catherine Leland and turn them in for 7g40s and a Bag of Shiny Things, which so far has just had useless junk and an average of 1 silver in it. You will also get +1 to fishing skill which makes this quest worth it right there as you need to catch around a dozen fish to get one skill point in fishing when you are over 450 fishing skill.

Good Luck,

Rock Lobster

Rock Lobster is one of the new daily fishing quests obtained from Catherine Leland (55,69) on a dock in the canals in Stormwind. For those without coords it is the dock between Trade District and Mage District.

Description:

If I could choose my last meal, it would definitely be fresh lobster tail. Something about that tasty crustacean is just irresistible! We recently started trapping lobsters here in Stormwind. Would you mind heading out and checking the traps for me?

One more thing, watch out for the sharks. They can be viscous down there.

This is a really fast and simple one. You will be heading to Stormwind Harbor. Once there all you need to do is dive down and collect 6 Rock Lobsters from the traps scattered around on the bottom of the harbor. You can usually use 3 of the traps and just do 2 laps around them to get the 6 Rock Lobsters you need, they respawn fast. When you have the 6, head back to Catherine Leland and turn it in. You will receive 7g40s and a Bag of Shiny Things, which so far has just had useless junk and an average of 1 silver in it. You will also get +1 to fishing skill which makes this quest worth it right there as you need to catch around a dozen fish to get one skill point in fishing when you are over 450 fishing skill.

Good Luck,

-Wrann

Hitting A Walleye

Hitting a Walleye is one of the new daily fishing quests obtained from Catherine Leland (55,69) on a dock in the canals in Stormwind. For those without coords it is the dock between Trade District and Mage District.

Description:

Sometimes, I fish for fun. Other times to relax, but sometimes I want a challenge. That's where the hardened walleye comes into the picture. This prized fish is not caught for us to eat, but for the challenge. You can find the walleye in Stormwind Lake just north of the city. Think you are up to the challenge?

For this one you will be heading to Stormwind Lake. This is not the lake with the island, it is the lake between Dwarven District and Cathedral Square. Once there all you need to do is fish up 8 Hardened Walleye. As you get one pretty much every single cast this does not take long at all. Once you have the 8 you need, return to Catherine Leland and turn in for your reward.

You will receive 7g40s, a Bag of Shiny Things and +1 to Fishing Skill. The +1 to Fishing Skill is what makes it worth doing this daily. At fishing skill 450+ it takes about a dozen fish to get 1 skill point, so it is worth it to do this daily for the point alone. Your Bag of Shiny Things will contain around 1 silver (on average) and a couple useless items. That's really all there is to this one.

Good Luck,

-Wrann

Wranngar 1/12/09

I played Wranngar for a couple hours tonight and got the daily cooking done and got his fishing skill to 420. I was fishing off the coast of Borean Tundra trying to catch Deep Sea Monsterbelly's so I could make Gigantic Feast but I didn't have any luck. I figured I would get my 10 points in anyway while I was there. I got a lot of good fish which I put in the guild bank for later use. I got a Dalaran Cooking Award in my Small Spice Bag today so I only need one more to get another recipe. I also went to the auction house and got every recipe I didn't have, except for the crazy priced ones. They were mostly lower level recipes but I want to have them all anyway so why not. I learned those and now I know 126 recipes. I also earned the Achievement for catching 500 fish. I know I have caught a lot more than 500 fish in my time but this must have started counting when this whole Achievement thing started. I looked in the auction house for Northern Spices and they are going for 5 gold each or a stack of 20 for 100 gold. That is outrageous seeing how you can get 10 for one Dalaran Cooking Award from the cooking vendor in Dalaran. I will just get mine that way because I am not paying 100 gold a stack for them.

Wranngar 1/11/09

I got Wranngar's fishing skill to 410 today while also getting some good fish to cook into buff food. I did the daily cooking in Dalaran and the daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade. I got my Leatherworking to 426 and learned some new patterns from the trainer. I made a few new pieces for myself to wear which increased my health by over 1500. I cooked up some more buff food for myself too. I got a new recipe with my Dalaran Cooking Award's so now I need 3 more before I can get another recipe. I only have 3 Northern Spices but I think I can buy them on the auction house. You get 10 for one Dalaran Cooking Award from the vendor in Dalaran but they are not soul bound. I hope I can get some on the auction house anyway.

Wranngar 1/10/09

I got my fishing up to 400 on Wranngar tonight. I was fishing in the river over by Amberpine Lodge in Grizzly Hills. Unfortunately all the fish I caught were gray when it came to cooking them so I didn't get any cooking points from them. I also got the daily cooking done then went over to K3 to kill some Mammoths for meat. I needed to make some more buff food that is good for me. All that food I have been cooking lately really dosen't do anything for me, it is mostly spell power and stuff like that.

Brieanna 9/28/08

I played Brieanna for a little while today, I got her to level 36. I went to Ironforge and got training for me and my pet. I still have 7 more points until I have 300 cooking skill, then I can see how high I can get my cooking. I need to work on my fishing some more too, I think it is 151 now. I think my skinning was at 269 when I logged off today so that is coming along well. I dropped mining (I had forgotten how much I hated mining) and took up herbalism so I need to level that, it is at 1 now :(. I was a little bored leveling today so I played Wranngar most of the time.

Brieanna 9/19-20/08

In the last couple days I have been questing in Southshore, Wetlands and Duskwood with trips back to Stormwind as the quests require. I got Brieanna up to level 32 between logging over to Wranngar to help guildies and getting her cooking up to 225. 225 is as high as I can go until I reach level 35. So now I am waiting on level 35 for first aid, cooking and I am sure I will be waiting on it to level my fishing past 225 too as that is also a quest. I cleaned up all my old quests so now all the quests I have are Yellow, Orange and Red. I will probably work on her some more tomorrow and I want to do the daily fishing on Wranngar, I haven't done that in awhile.

Wranngar 6/19/08

I worked on Wranngar's fishing a little more tonight and got him up to 372, only 3 more to go :). I would have got the last 3 before I logged off but it was too late and I was too tired. Tomorrow I will get him to 375 and be done with it. I was fishing around Allerian Stronghold in Terokkar Forest and Umbrafen Lake in Zangarmarsh. I really love having the ability to track fish, I just fly around on my epic mount at 280% speed until I pick up a school of fish then fish it out. I got a lot of Golden Darter, Spotted Feltail, Zangarian Sporefish and a Huge Spotted Feltail which I cooked up, with the exception of the Huge Spotted Feltail, and put in the guild vault. I am waiting until I have 20 of the Huge Spotted Feltail before I cook them up. I also got 8 Motes of Water and a Goldenscale Vendorfish which sell for 6 gold to a vendor.

Fishing - Wranngar 6/11/08

I worked on Wranngar's fishing a little more today. I went to Zangarmarsh and fished where I go to catch Bloated Barbed Gill Trout (78,74) for the Shrimpin' Ain't Easy daily fishing quest. I got his fishing up to 350 now, only 25 more to go. I caught a bunch of fish, 29 Barbed Gill Trout, 9 Spotted Feltail and 6 Zangarian Sporefish which I cooked up and put in the guild bank for anyone who needs it.

Fishing Wranngar 6/3/08

I did some more fishing on Wranngar today to get my fishing skill up. I went to Terokkar Forest again over by Allerian Stronghold. I caught about a dozen Golden Darter along with a bunch of other fish. It is really easy, I go into flight form and fly along the top of the water until I pick up a school of fish on my tracker, then I land and fish the school out. I move on to the next school and repeat that until I get bored. Today's 5 skill points represent 60-70 catches so the points are coming harder and harder. I got Wranngar's fishing skill up to 335 now, only 40 more to go. I still need to use a +100 to fishing skill buff, such as Sharpened Fish Hook, where I was fishing today but I am coming across more and more spots where I don't need it as my fishing skill increases. I also made another Primal Mooncloth Bag on Gomorra and sent it to Wranngar so now he has three, one more to go :).
