Infused Mushroom Meatloaf

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf is another easy one. If you're Alliance you get Infused Mushroom Meatloaf from Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome. If you're Horde you get it from Awilo Lon'gomba (70,38), inside The Filthy Animal next to Krasus' Landing.

The mats for this daily are 2 Chilled Meat and 4 Infused Mushrooms.

You get the Infused Mushrooms down in the sewers in the Underbelly below Dalaran. There is an entrance to get down there right outside Krasus' Landing and another one diagonally across town from it next to the Magus Commerce Exchange. Infused Mushrooms are blue, and being a quest item they sparkle. You will find them growing all over the place down in the Underbelly. Don't forget to look in the Black Market. You right click on them to loot them.

Once you have 4 of them you need to cook them up with the Chilled Meat in the meatloaf pan you were supplied with when you got the quest. All you need to do is right click on the meatloaf pan while you are standing near a fire with the mats in your inventory. This will give you your Infused Mushroom Meatloaf which you deliver to Orton Bennet upstairs at Curiosities and Moore.

He will give you 9g93s, at least one Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag that can contain any, or all, of the following:

Northern Spices
Old Spices
Baby Spice
Dalaran Cooking Award
And if you don't have it, Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Cake. (This is a rare drop, 1.7%)

This is another easy quest, just remember to keep some Rhino Meat and Chilled Meat on hand, it makes these daily's go so much quicker.

Good Luck :)

Daily's 2/11/09

I jumped on Wranngar tonight and did the daily cooking which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf AGAIN!!!... That one is getting old but I need the cooking awards to get the recipes so I just keep plugging away at them. I went down into the Underbelly and got my 4 Infused Mushrooms really fast, under 2 minutes. It was like no one was doing it. I just went to where I know they spawn and there they were. I cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and delivered my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf in exchange for a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag only had 4 Northern Spices. It could have been worse I guess.

Today's daily battleground was Eye of the Storm. We won the first one I was in and I fought in 7 total, 5 wins and 2 losses. One of our losses dragged on for 25 minutes. We had a lot of flagtards in that one, as soon as we had the second base they would ALL run to the flag leaving a base either unguarded or very poorly guarded. It was like that all night and I am surprised we won anything. The way to win in EoS is to get 3 towers and don't worry about the flag. The Horde will never be able to run enough flags to beat 3 towers clocking away. Once we have 3 towers you can try for the flag but not at the cost of leaving towers undefended. A lot of our wins were 2 towers and a fight for the flag the whole way, with us losing a tower and capturing another, the Horde losing a tower and capturing another, back and forth. Makes for some good fights and a lot of kills but tends to make the battles last a lot longer. I am getting close to getting another piece of armor.

Wranngar 2/9/09

I got on Wranngar for a while tonight and got the daily cooking in Dalaran done. That was about it for daily's today. The daily cooking was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again. I headed down into the Underbelly to get my 4 Infused Mushrooms and got them pretty quick. I headed over to the bank for a couple Chilled Meat to cook them up with. Once I had it cooked I delivered it in exchange for a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag. Today the Small Spice Bag only had 3 Northern Spices in it. Not the best haul. I got another recipe today and cooked that. I now only have 8 recipes left until I get my chef title. There are 45 recipes in Northrend and you have to have, and have cooked, all of them to get the chef title.

I fought in my first Wintergrasp battle today. I was so focused on trying to figure out what was going on that I forgot take pictures. I went in there with the intention of taking lots of pictures but forgot all about that once I got in there. We won it. I think we were the defenders. I fought in 9 Eye of the Storm battles, 8 wins and 1 loss. The daily battleground today was Alterac Valley but I won't go in there anymore because of the imbalance in numbers when the battle starts. It doesn't take long to lose when we are outnumbered 4 to 1 and half our 10 players are AFK. In Eye of the Storm we were doing well for the most part although I was in a few groups where the outcome was questionable right until the end. They were leaving towers unguarded to go after more towers, way too many people were going for the flag instead of trying to get more towers or defending the ones we had. We also had some pretty good groups where we had 4 caps going on.

I did a bunch more fishing in the Underbelly under Dalaran on and off today. I did some fishing between battlegrounds to kind of break things up a little. While I was fishing someone else who was fishing right next to me got the Giant Sewer Rat and completed the I Smell A Giant Rat Achievement so I know I am in the right place, now I just need my turn. I got a lot of stuff fishing today, it is like a toxic waste dump down there with all the vials you fish up. It was funny because I was fishing right next to a spawn point for an Infused Mushroom so people were constantly stopping by for that. All in all today I caught:

126 Sewer Carp
48 Magic Eater
12 Empty Vial
10 Partially Eaten Fish
7 Drowned Rat
2 Leaded Vial
1 Crystal Vial
1 Imbued Vial

Really nothing useful there at all but I am going to keep plugging away at this one a little every day until I get my Giant Sewer Rat. It is a nice break to run down there and do a little fishing between battles.

Battlegrounds 2/8/09

The daily battleground today was WSG. I skipped it, I hate WSG. I really need to get in there though and work on Wranngar's rep. I fought in 20 Eye of the Storm and 2 Arathi Battles instead. We lost both the AB battles but we did better in EoS, winning 15 and losing 5. We had a bunch of 4 caps and all the rest were three caps and flag running. In the 5 losses we had bad groups. They would leave a node undefended so 14 of them could go after the flag. I got the Achievement The Perfect Storm today when we won one of the battles 2000/0. The AB battles I was in were just bad groups, they were everywhere and not defending nodes. Nodes were being left empty before they even capped.

I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I headed down into the sewers in search of 4 Infused Mushrooms. I got them really fast, it was like no one was doing it. I cooked them up with 2 Chilled Meat and delivered it in return for a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices, 3 Old Spices and 5 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul today.

I've been doing some fishing in the Underbelly, in the sewers under Dalaran, trying to catch a Giant Sewer Rat for the I Smell A Giant Rat Achievement. It is not a common drop so it could take awhile to get it. In the last couple days I have caught a lot of things down in the sewers, I have caught:

92 Sewer Carp
35 Magic Eater
13 Empty Vial
6 Partially Eaten Fish
8 Drowned Rat
5 Leaded Vial
1 Imbued Vial
1 Crystal Vial
1 Enchanted Vial

Not a Giant Sewer Rat in the bunch though. I will keep plugging away at this when I have a little extra time, maybe when the battleground queues get too long. I have been putting the vials and Magic Eaters in the guild bank for anyone who wants or can use them. I have 4 tabs and they are almost full. I have a tendency to be a pack rat. There is a lot of level 55-80 buff food in there, more than a tab full. It is nice that I kept it stocked up because now that I am leveling Gomorra to 80 I have a lot of buff food for him. Some he can't eat until 75 but a lot of it he can.
