Daily's 7/1/08

I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar today. I did them with Yonezoe, we got them out of the way pretty quick. After that we did an AB which was the daily but we lost that. I guess this is how it is going to be for the summer while school is out so I will probably do more instances. I didn't bother going back in for another AB, that's how bad it was. I thought me and Yonezoe were going to do the Outlands daily's too but she ended up taking off and starting them on her own, as she tends to do too often, while I was getting an inscription on my new shoulders so I did an AV instead. We lost that AV, there were over 10 AFK and the rest of the group definitely weren't up to speed. The only good thing about that is it didn't last long.

I did the daily fishing on both Wranngar and Gomorra, it was Bait Bandits. I flew over to my new spot (51,38) at the waterfall by Tuurem and got my Blackfin Darter in just a few casts on each. When I turned that in to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest I got the usual rewards, nothing good or exciting.

I did the daily cooking on Wranngar after that, it was Super Hot Stew. I took the mats I needed out of the guild bank, which is just about overflowing with food, and headed over to Forge Camp Terror to kill an Elemental. After I was done cooking that up I turned it in to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath for the usual rewards, nothing exciting there either.

The Steamvault 6/22/08

After Shattered Halls we decided to try another instance, I said any one would be good except Shattered Halls, I had enough of that one for one day. We got another group together and headed into the Steamvaults, an instance in Zangarmarsh. This group was a lot more organized and we had a Paladin to tank which was better as I am really geared for DPS at the moment and feel more comfortable doing DPS. I can tank normal instances with the gear I have, all epic PvP not PvE gear, but I wouldn't last long as a tank in a Heroic instance. This group consisted of Wranngar as DPS, Yonezoe as healer, Dracesslewis a 70 Paladin as main tank, Strycker a 70 hunter as DPS and crowd control and Ilth of the Shattered Sun as off tank and DPS. We had a lot smoother run in this one with this group. Everything was marked and everyone waited until the main tank had good threat before jumping in. We worked our way through all the bosses to the end without much problem. We got a bunch of greens and some blues. Most of us were there to build rep but one person was there for a key fragment to another instance. All in all a great run and a good time.

Shattered Halls 6/22/08

Yonezoe wanted to build up her reputation with Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula and it wouldn't kill Wranngar to build up his either so we decided to run an instance. We decided on Shattered Halls which I had never been in before. There was Wranngar tanking, Yonezoe Healing, Drene a 70 Mage doing DPS and crowd control, Megavolt a 70 Shaman doing DPS and off tanking and Seriesh of the Shattered Sun another 70 Shaman doing DPS and off tanking. We did this instance way too fast and had some problems but we did manage to get through it and killed the last boss. This was Yonezoe's first real healing stint in an instance and she did pretty good. I need to work on my tanking skills although I didn't really have much opportunity to tank as people were hitting mobs before I had a chance to which defeats the whole purpose of having a tank. The tank needs to build up threat to be able to hold the mobs on them and I wasn't getting a chance to do that. Towards the end I got sick of trying to pull mobs, that other people were hitting first, onto me and just DPS'd in Bear form. We got some blue items that Yonezoe disenchanted into shards that we rolled for.

Daily's 6/22/08

I did some daily's today, I did the cooking and fishing on both Wranngar and Gomorra and I also did Gaining the Advantage on Wranngar and Sunfury Attack Plans, Ata'mal Armaments, Blast the Gateway and Blood for Blood on Gomorra. Yonezoe did those 4 with me and then logged onto Axeelina and did the daily cooking with Gomorra. The daily cooking today was Soup for the Soul again, I got the mats I needed from the guild vault for Wranngar, Gomorra and Axeelina and we headed over to the Ancestral Grounds (25,59) in Nagrand and cooked up our soup. When I turned that in to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath I picked Crate of Meat as my reward on both, starting tomorrow I will be picking Barrel of Fish for the whole week. Wranngar got 8 pieces of Serpent Flesh, 8 pieces of Warped Flesh and a Large Hoof while Gomorra got 8 pieces of Warped Flesh, 8 pieces of Buzzard Meat and a Hunting Knife. Not much good in either of those rewards but I believe I have gotten all the recipes on both now so the meat and fish is really all I have to look forward to unless they have some seasonal recipes or add more. Then I headed over to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and got the daily fishing quest which was Felblood Fillet. I flew over to the Pools of Aggonar (39,37) in Hellfire Peninsula on Wranngar to catch my Monstrous Felblood Snapper and took Gomorra to Shadowmoon Valley (40,59) to catch his. I turned them in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures and Wranngar got 6g82s60c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and 2 pieces of Salvaged Scrap Metal. Gomorra got 7g17s94c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Razor Sharp Fillet Knife which I sold to a vendor for 4 gold and some silver. Not a great day for rewards today, better luck tomorrow.

Wranngar Epic Flight Form 6/21/08

I finally got my epic flight form on Wranngar last night. I was talking to a friend of mine, Beerchick, Champion of the Naaru, and I told him I was up to the part where I needed to do Heroic Sethekk Halls for the last part. He said lets go do it. I couldn't pass that up so we went in and got it :). They do a lot of raiding and know what they are doing so it was a pretty easy run compared to most instance runs I have been on. This was my first heroic instance and it went a lot smoother than a lot of normal instances I have done. It didn't take us long to get it done and I got a couple nice items I can use for raiding plus a few Badge of Justice. There were five us us running it, me on Wranngar, Beerchick on his Priest Beerboy, Champion of the Naaru who was healing, a Hunter Spoke who was crowd control, another Priest Thunderlily who was DPS, and another Druid, Ezrah, that was tanking. I was DPS too for this run. Beerchick was able to get 3 more people to help us from her guild no problem so there was no waiting to get a group together. Beerchick invited me and Yonezoe to join her guild and come raiding. I will talk to Yonezoe and see if she wants to come but I would really like to and I am pretty sure she will too. I am getting sick of doing only battlegrounds and would like to get some of the rewards that can be had from raiding. Plus it was a lot of fun with a good group who knows what they are doing.

Yonezoe 6/21/08

Yonezoe hit 70 today :), congratulations to her. We started in Netherstorm but were questing in Shadowmoon Valley when she hit it so she was able to get her 300 riding skill and epic flying mount right there. I was along on Wranngar. I am glad that is finally over. I am definitely going to take a long break before I start another character. Now that she is 70 we can go back to doing daily quests and making some gold along with raiding and battlegrounds so she can get some good gear.

Netherstorm 6/20/08

We, Wranngar and Yonezoe, did some more questing in Netherstorm tonight. Yonezoe leveled up to 69 and she has about 18 more bars until 70. I gave her a Riding Crop I made to celebrate hitting 69. Some of the quests I was able to do and some I had already done when I was leveling Wranngar there. We really didn't have any problems until we got to Quest: Shutting Down Manaforge Ara then the sheer volume of mobs that come out overwhelmed us and we had to get some help. Yonezoe got a friend of hers, Yangkwen, Champion of the Naaru, to give us a hand. We didn't have too much problem after that although the shutdown did reset twice before we got it shut down. After that it was getting late so we called it a day. Hopefully she will be 70 by the end of the weekend.

Daily's 6/20/08

I did a few of my daily's on Wranngar this afternoon. I did the fishing which was The One That Got Away and the cooking which was Manalicious along with Gaining the Advantage and I got Sunfury Attack Plans done while I was helping Yonezoe in Netherstorm. For the fishing quest I flew out to my spot on Lake Sunspring (34,43) in Nagrand and set about catching the World's Largest Mudfish. I got one in a few casts then decided to get the extra 3 skill points I needed to max out my fishing skill at 375. Now Wranngar has 375 fishing which means all his primary and secondary skills are maxed :). While I was in Nagrand I got Gaining the Advantage done and picked up some good leather in the process. I got a lot of Thick Clefthoof Leather today which is nice because the last stack I put on the auction house got me 90 gold. I went back to Shattrath and turned in Gaining the Advantage for 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion. While I was there I cooked up the Clefthoof meat I got doing the quest and put it in the guild bank. Then I went over to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and turned in The One That Got Away for my Bag of Fishing Treasures which had 7g25s44c, Recipe: Captain Rumsey's Lager, 6 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Mithril Shaving Razor which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold. The recipe and other good rewards are the reason to do the daily fishing quest even though most days you don't really end up with anything good. After that I flew out to Stormspire in Netherstorm then headed over to the Eco-Dome to pick Mana Berries for the cooking quest. I got 15 in no time at all and headed over to help Yonezoe. While I was helping her I got Sunfury Attack Plans done, plus did a bunch of quests myself making close to 300 gold. After I had helped her for awhile I flew back to Shattrath and turned in Sunfury Attack Plans for 10g10s and Shattered Sun Supplies which contained a green item. Then I turned in the cooking quest and picked Crate of Meat for my reward. It contained 6 pieces of Serpent Flesh, 7 pieces of Buzzard Meat and a Large Hoof. I also got 7g59s for that quest. I will be going back out to Netherstorm and helping Yonezoe some more tonight.

Daily's 6/18/08

I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar, as well as the daily cooking, which was Super Hot Stew again and Gaining the Advantage which pays 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion. I did the daily fishing which was Crocolisks in the City on both Wranngar and Gomorra. I grabbed two Mok'Nathal Shortribs and one Crunchy Serpent out of the guild bank and headed over to Forge Camp Terror in Blades Edge on Wranngar to cook up my Demon Broiled Surprise over an Elemental I killed. Once I had that done I flew back to Shattrath and handed it in to The Rokk (61,15). I picked Crate of Meat for my reward and got 12 pieces of Serpent Flesh and a pair of Patchwork Gloves plus the 7g59s this quest pays. Then I headed to Stormwind to catch a Baby Crocolisk for the daily fishing quest. I got one on my second cast on Wranngar and my seventh cast on Gomorra. I went back to Shattrath and flew over to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and turned in. Wranngar got, in his Bag of Fishing Treasures, 7g6s79c, 3 Elixir of Water Walking and 3 Jaggal Pearls. Gomorra got 6g82s38c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Rusted Lock. As you can see nothing great in either of those. I did the Shattered Sun Daily's with Heimdahl and we were able to get those out of the way in no time at all. I ended up sending 150 gold to the bank today, not too bad. I am going to get back into doing my daily's more often now that Yonezoe will be 70 soon. For a list of the Shattered Sun daily quests we did check out the List of Daily Quests.

Update: I went back a little later and did the daily cooking quest on Gomorra I grabbed a piece of Crunchy Serpent and a Mok'Nathal Shortrib and headed over to Forge Camp Terror (29,78) in Blades Edge. After I got there and killed an Elemental I realized I only grabbed one Mok'Nathal Shortrib instead of two so I had to fly over and kill a couple Raptors to get another one. Once I had that I cooked it up and flew back to Forge Camp Terror and killed another Elemental then I was able to make my Demon Broiled Surprise. I flew back to The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath and picked Crate of Meat for my reward. I got 16 pieces of Serpent Flesh, which I cooked into Crunchy Serpent and put in the Guild Vault because we were getting low, a Hunting Knife and the 7g39s this daily pays. Nothing exciting there today.

Yonezoe 6/17/08

Wranngar and Yonezoe were both questing in Netherstorm today. There are a lot of quests I never went back and did after I hit 70 so that is good, I can make some gold while I am helping Yonezoe out :). Because I am 70 the quests pay more of a gold reward, anywhere from 11 to 16 gold each quest. We did a lot of quests, most of which we were both on. Yonezoe ended up leveling to 68, only 2 more to go, and I made over 200 gold which made up for not doing a lot of my daily's. We will be there until she reaches 70. I will be making a lot more gold plus gaining more reputation with different factions.

Daily's 6/17/08

I did some of my daily's on Wranngar today. I did the daily cooking which was Super Hot Stew. I took some Mok'Nathal Shortribs and Crunchy Serpent I already had in the guild vault and flew out to forge camp terror to cook it up on my way to help Yonezoe in Netherstorm, it didn't take me long and was sort of on the way. I turned that in and got 6 pieces of Buzzard Meat, 7 pieces of Warped Flesh and a Skinning Knife, nothing good there today. I also did Gaining the Advantage. I did that in Terokkar forest today by killing and skinning Wrap Stalkers and Basilisk. That quest pays 16g39s and a Major Rejuvenation Potion. I always put the potion in the bank as I only use Mana Potions. I got the daily fishing done too, which was Bait Bandits. Pretty easy one, I flew over to Tuurem and fished by the bridge (52,37). It took me 7 casts to catch one then I flew back and turned it in to Old Man Barlo (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures which contained 7g6s77c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Razor Sharp Fillet Knife. Nothing really good there either. While I was helping Yonezoe I got Sunfury Attack Plans done. That pays 10g10s and Shattered Sun Supplies. I didn't make a lot of gold today but I did make some.

Update: I was able to get the daily fishing and cooking done on Gomorra before the day rolled over. For the cooking reward, from The Rokk (61,15) in Shattrath, he picked Crate of Meat and got 7 pieces of Buzzard Meat, 7 pieces of Warped Flesh, a pair of Patchwork Gloves and the 7g59s that this quest pays. For the fishing quest he got 6g65s76c, 5 Sharpened Fish Hooks, and a Silver Statuette which I sold to a vendor for 15 gold. Not great stuff but I made a little gold off them and got some meat to add to the guild vault. The new questing day starts in 15 minutes so I will do them again soon.

Yonezoe 6/16/08

Yonezoe had a few elite quests to finish up in Blades Edge today so we got those out of the way and moved on to Area 52 in Netherstorm. I was on Wranngar and actually did a quest there that I hadn't done yet, it paid 11g99s so that wasn't too bad. I got it done while helping Yonezoe with her quests. There might be a few more there I can grab too and I know the farther we go into Netherstorm the more quests I will find that I haven't done. The nice thing about them is they pay well in gold now instead of rewards for me. Yonezoe had to log off and it was getting late here so we will work on some more tomorrow.

Yonezoe 6/14/08

I helped out Yonezoe some more tonight with Wranngar. Somehow she managed to find some more quests in
Nagrand so I helped her with those. Those quests took us back to Shattrath, to the Bone Wastes and Zangarmarsh plus a lot in Nagrand itself. I really don't think there is much left for her there but then again I thought that the last time we left there. She hit level 67 tonight, only 3 more to go until 70 :). I imagine we will be heading to Netherstorm soon.

Yonezoe - Blades Edge 6/13/08

I helped Yonezoe some more in Blades Edge tonight on Wranngar. She got a lot of quests done, everything they had for her at Toshley's Station, during which I was able to get my daily cooking quest done, and then we moved on to Evergrove in Blades Edge. There were more quests there that we did, a bunch of them, and she got a lot more XP out of there. She now has about 7 bars to go before she levels up to 67. There are still a bunch of quests left to do in Blades Edge before we move on to Netherstorm. Hopefully she will get to 70 this weekend. Once she hit's 70 I want to spend a couple weeks doing the daily's for gold and we also need to start doing the Netherwing quests every day if we are going to get Netherdrake Epic Flying Mounts.

Daily Cooking 6/13/08

Today's cooking quest was Super Hot Stew. I did it on Wranngar while I was helping Yonezoe in Blades Edge. I got all the meat I needed while helping her kill Raptors and Wind Serpents for quests she had. When she had to take a break to do something on Axeelina I cooked the meat and flew over to Forge Camp Terror, killed an elemental and cooked my stew over it's carcass. When I turned it in I got the Barrel of Fish for my reward along with the 7g59s this quest pays. The Barrel of Fish had 4 Golden Darter, 5 Zangarian Sporefish, an Enormous Barbed Gill Trout and a Fisherman Knife, nothing too good today and no new recipe :(. Better luck tomorrow.

Yonezoe - Nagrand 6/13/08

I helped Yonezoe with some quests in Nagrand today. I helped her with Wranngar. We did The Ring of Blood quests, finishing with The Final Challenge. She had 3 epic geared level 70's helping her, plus a level 66 Druid, so it went pretty smooth, smoothest Ring of Blood I have ever been involved in. We worked our way through the quests and when they were completed she picked Mogor's Anointing Club for her reward. During the Ring of Blood quest chain she leveled to 66 making her eligible for the Wanted: Durn the Hungerer quest. When we were done in Ring of Blood she went and got that quest and then set out to find him while everyone was still there. When we found him someone else had just attacked him so we pitched in and gave them a hand taking him down. Then we had to wait for him to respawn which didn't take too long. We took him down fast and easy after he respawned. I think that is about all the quests she will find in Nagrand so she will go back to Blades Edge where she started questing yesterday.

Yonezoe 6/12/08

I helped Yonezoe in Blades Edge with Wranngar tonight. We knocked out a bunch of quests in a couple hours. Yonezoe is level 65 now so she only has 5 more levels to go to reach 70 :). From Blades Edge we will move on to Netherstorm which is the last stop and usually where people finally hit 70.

Scholomance 6/12/08

We did a Scholomance run today to do a Warlock quest, Imp Delivery, for Beanaste. Scholomance is an instance either by or in Western Plaguelands, I am not sure exactly what zone it falls into. It was me on Wranngar, Yonezoe and Beanaste. While I was waiting for everyone to get there I worked on my fishing on Wranngar and got it up to 356. When we got inside we had to make our way to Rattlegore and kill him to get the Viewing Room Key. Unfortunately this is a one time use only key so it disappears when you use it. After we got that we had to make our way to the Viewing Room. Once we got there we went through the Viewing Room into the Alchemy Lab and had to kill a few more mobs in there. Then Beanaste let the imp out of the jar and he transcribed the scroll and we were done. Now he has a few more quests to take care of and we can summon his Dreadsteed, the Epic Warlock Mount.

Yonezoe 6/10/08

I helped out Yonezoe some more today in Nagrand. I helped her on Wranngar. She got a bunch of quests done and leveled up to 65. She finished with all the Mastery quests and now that she is 65 a lot of new quests open up. Nagrand is not a bad place to quest, good mobs and good scenery unlike Zangarmarsh which is just a depressing place to quest in. Duskwood is another depressing place to quest in, dark all the time. We only got to quest together for a couple hours before she had to log off but I hope she hits 70 by this weekend so we can go back to doing daily's for awhile and make some gold.

Yonezoe 6/9/08

I hadn't seen Yonezoe in a couple days but I saw her tonight. She is level 64 now and she was doing the Clefthoof Mastery, Talbuk Mastery and Windroc Mastery Quests in Nagrand. I gave her a hand on Wranngar and we quested for a couple hours. I got a lot of leather out of that :)). I ended up with 72 Knothide Leather Scraps, 53 Knothide Leather and 8 Thick Clefthoof Leather. I turned the Knothide Leather Scraps into 14 Knothide Leather then I turned all the Knothide Leather into 13 Heavy Knothide Leather. I got about 65 gold worth of leather helping her out tonight. I put 2 stacks of Heavy Knothide Leather I had on the auction house for 68 gold buyout each stack and sold out in less than 5 minutes. That was 130 gold I got after the auction house cut. Skinning can be very profitable.
