Wranngar 1/24/09

I got on Wranngar for a little while tonight and got the daily cooking done, which was Convention at the Legerdemain for a change. I grabbed 4 Chilled Meat from the guild bank and cooked up the 4 Northern Stew I needed then went to the wine and cheese shop and got a jug of wine then turned it in at the Legerdemain. I got my Dalaran Cooking Award and Small Spice Bag which contained 3 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices. I am slowly building up my stock of Northern Spices and now have one stack of 20. According to the auction house prices that is worth 100 gold. The daily battleground was Alterac Valley so I skipped it. There were no battles going on which meant if I joined there would be a long queue and then we would be outnumbered 4 to 1 when that battle started. Instead I did one Eye of the Storm which we lost. We just couldn't seem to get it together and only had one tower the whole time, a couple towers for a little while and never had 3 towers. The Horde were also running the flag. It seemed to go on forever though, maybe just because I am tired. I might get back on in a little while and do some more battlegrounds.

Wranngar 1/23/09

I played Wranngar some tonight. I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf AGAIN!!! Go Blizz..... Anyway I headed back into the sewers to get some Sewer Mushrooms (Infused Mushrooms) and, once I had them, I cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and that gave me my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I delivered that and got my Dalaran Cooking Award and Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices in it. After that I took the portal to Shattrath and got the daily fishing quest from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, which was The One That Got Away. I headed out to Nagrand and got the World's Largest Mudfish on my 11th cast. I turned that in and got nothing worth mentioning. Then I noticed that the Lunar Festival had started. I checked that out for a little while then flew back to Darkshore and took the boat to Stormwind. A couple Horde rode the boat with me, one flagged. I followed the flagged one when he got off the boat and when he went into the park me and a Mage killed him. I felt a little bad afterwards because he was just trying to do one of the Lunar Festival quests. After that I headed back to Dalaran and called it a night.

Wranngar 1/22/09

I only had time to get on and do the Dalaran daily cooking quest tonight. It was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf AGAIN! I did it on Wranngar. I headed down into the sewers for some sewer mushrooms. I got the 4 I needed pretty quick but there seemed to be a lot of people doing it today. I cooked that with 2 pieces of chilled meat to make my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I delivered that and got my Dalaran Cooking Award and Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag contained 3 Northern Spices so it was a slightly better reward than yesterday. I might have a little time to get back on later tonight.

Wranngar 1/21/09

I played Wranngar for awhile tonight. I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again. I headed down into the sewers to pick some mushrooms and got the 4 I needed pretty quick. Once I had them I cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and delivered them. I got the Dalaran Cooking Award the quest gives daily but my Small Spice Bag only had 2 Northern Spices in it. Another disappointing daily cooking :(. From there I headed over to see The Rokk, (61,15) in Shattrath, to see what the daily cooking was there. It was Manalicious. That one is not worth the effort when you already have all the recipes so I skipped it. From there I headed over to Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, to see what he had for me. He gave me Bait Bandits which is a quick easy one. I flew to my spot by Tuurem (52,37) in Terokkar Forest and got my Blackfin Darter on the 9th cast. Yes, that's right, the 9th cast. Evidently they fixed this daily in the last patch so you don't get your quest fish on the first cast anymore. Well it was good while it lasted. After that I got the daily battleground which was Strand of the Ancients. We won the first one I was in so I turned that one in. That was about all I did tonight, I got on late and didn't have much time. Hopefully I will get on earlier tomorrow and have more time.

Wranngar 1/20/09

I only had time to do the Dalaran daily cooking on Wranngar tonight. It was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and only took me a few minutes, I found all my mushrooms quickly today. Once I had the 4 mushrooms I needed I headed to the bank to grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook it with. I cooked it up and delivered it. My Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices in it, a much better reward than yesterday. With the Dalaran Cooking Award I received today I had 3 so I got Recipe: Small Feast with them and learned that. That was about all I had time for tonight. I loaded the new patch but that didn't take long.

Wranngar 1/19/09

I played Wranngar some today and ended up doing 15 daily quests, one of which was the daily cooking in Dalaran. The daily cooking today was Sewer Stew and had me heading to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots so I could cook it up with some Chilled Meat. Once I had 4 of them I headed back to Dalaran and cooked it up. Then I headed down into the sewers and delivered it to the innkeeper at the inn where I stay. All I got in my Small Spice Bag was 2 Northern Spices, another disappointing day. I also did the daily cooking in Shattrath which was Manalicious and the daily fishing in Terokkar Forest which was The One That Got Away. I got the usual rewards for those, nothing special. I did a bunch of daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade and one in K3. I did a bunch of others too and made about 180 gold. The daily battleground today was Alterac Valley. I grabbed the quest and went to queue when I saw that there were no battles going on so I dropped the quest. If I had gone in we would have started 10 to 40, after a long wait, and gotten owned so I didn't bother. I did do 9 Eye of the Storm battles though, 5 wins and 4 losses. We had our 5 wins right in a row, the first 5 I was in, then you could just see the quality of the players change, I don't know if nap time got over or school got out but we started losing and I mean losing hard. In the first 5 we held at least 3 towers and ran the flag. We won one battle 2000/2. Then it all changed, it wasn't the same people and we were lucky if we weren't rezzing on the rock. Hopefully tomorrow's battleground will be something other than Alterac Valley.

Wranngar 1/18/09

I played Wranngar for a while tonight. I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Cheese for Glowergold. I ran around Dalaran getting half filled wine glasses until I had enough then I ran over to the cheese shop and got the cheese I needed. After I put the cheese on the platter I delivered it and got my Small Spice Bag. That contained 6 Northern Spices and a Dalaran Cooking Award. Much better than my reward from yesterday. I did the daily fishing quest from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest. It was The One That Got Away which had me heading over to Lake Sunspring (34,43) in Nagrand. I got the World's Largest Mudfish on my first cast and headed back to Terokkar Forest. I turned it in and didn't get anything to speak of for rewards. From there I headed to Ironforge to turn some Borean Leather into Heavy Borean Leather for someone that was looking in trade. From there I headed back to North Rend, did some fishing, got my fishing up to 423, and eventually made my way back to Dalaran. I picked up a couple pieces of new gear today. I got Trollwoven Spaulders and Chain Gang Legguards. They gave me a few hundred more stamina and increased my armor and attack power. I also made a few things and got my leatherworking up to 431 and cooked a few dishes to get my cooking up to 431.

Wranngar 1/17/09

I only got on Wranngar for a little bit tonight. I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Quest: Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. It didn't take me long to gather up the Mushrooms in the sewers and I had the Chilled Meat in the bank. I cooked it up and delivered it. In my Small Spice Bag I got 2 Northern Spices and that was it. Kind of disappointing. I did the daily fishing in Terokkar Forest too. I went to see Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, for the quest and he gave me Bait Bandits. That's a pretty easy one and I flew over to the waterfall near Tuurem (52,37) in Terokkar Forest. I got my Blackfin Darter on the first cast and handed in. I didn't get anything worth mention for quest rewards from that.

Wranngar 1/15/09

I only had about an hour tonight on Wranngar so I did the daily cooking in Dalaran and the daily fishing in Terokkar Forest. The daily cooking was Quest: Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again so I headed down into the sewers in search of some mushrooms. I got the 4 I needed in a couple minutes, it went really quick today, there must not have been many people doing it at that time. I only saw one other person picking mushrooms while I was down there. After I had them I cooked them up with a couple pieces of Chilled Meat and turned it in. I didn't get an extra Dalaran Cooking Award in my Small Spice Bag but I did get 3 Northern Spices. I have 2 Dalaran Cooking Award's so tomorrow I will be able to get another recipe. After that I took the portal to Shattrath and got the daily fishing quest from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, which was Bait Bandits. I didn't do the daily cooking in Shattrath because it was one that required a lot of travel, I would have had to farm the meat because I didn't have any in the guild bank and there are really no rewards left from that quest, I have all the recipes and the meat you get as a reward is nice but sometimes not worth the effort. Anyway I flew over to the waterfall I do Bait Bandits at by Tuurem (52,37) in Terokkar Forest. I got my Blackfin Darter on the first cast and handed it in. The rewards were the usual, nothing special. Hopefully I will have more time tomorrow to do some battlegrounds. Arkantose has been wanting to do some battlegrounds with me.

Wranngar 1/14/09

I did the daily cooking in Dalaran on Wranngar as well as the daily cooking in Shattrath and the daily fishing in Terokkar Forest. The daily cooking in Dalaran was Quest: Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. It is a pretty easy quest that doesn't take long as long as you have some Chilled Meat in stock. I used my last 2 pieces so after I turned in I headed out to get some more. I headed to Sholazar Basin and got 32 pieces in about 20 minutes or so. I got a bunch of leather from that outing too. After that I headed to Shattrath and picked up the daily cooking, from The Rokk, (61,15), which was Soup for the Soul. I grabbed 4 Roasted Clefthoof from the guild bank then headed out and cooked it up. I turned it in but didn't get anything worth talking about. I did the daily fishing next which was Felblood Fillet. I flew over to the Pools of Aggonar (39,37) in Hellfire Peninsula and got my Monstrous Felblood Snapper on the first cast. Since the expansion I always get my daily fishing quest item on the first cast. The only good reward from that one was a Gold Wedding Band which I sold to a vendor for 15 gold. The daily battleground today was Eye of the Storm. We won the second one I was in. The first one started off pretty good, we had 2 towers and were taking a third when it all fell apart and we eventually ended up rezzing on the rock. In the second battle we had 2 towers at all times and 3 for the most part. We ran the flag a lot and it made for a pretty quick win.

Wranngar 1/13/09

I did the daily cooking in Dalaran on Wranngar and got another Dalaran Cooking Award which allowed me to get Recipe: Dragonfin Filet. I cooked up 4 of them because I needed it for the North Rend Gourmet Cooking Achievement and that got my cooking to 428. I also got 3 Northern Spices in my Small Spice Bag from that daily. I went and did the daily fishing and cooking in Outlands too. It only took a few minutes but I didn't get anything good. After that I went into the battlegrounds. The daily was Alterac Valley and I fought in two of them but stopped because they were taking forever to get into and were so imbalanced once I did get in. We had one battle that was 11 Allaince versus 40 Horde, a little uneven. Anyway I fought in 2 battles there and they were both losses. Then I went into the Strand of the Ancients. I fought in 3 battles in there, 1 win and 2 losses. I am still undecided how I feel about this battleground. Sometimes I really like it and other times not so much. The was one incident in the first loss we had where I died right before the Horde captured the Titan Relic and all of a sudden there was a load screen and I found myself in Westfall at the graveyard with a 15 minute deserter debuff on me. Strange thing is I queued for the battleground out of Darnassus so I am not sure how I eneded up there. I might get on a little later and do a few more battlegrounds.

Battlegrounds 1/12/09

I did some battlegrounds on Wranngar tonight. The daily was Strand of the Ancients, one I had never done before. I ended up fighting in 6 of them, 3 wins and 3 losses. I am not really sure enough of what is going on to know what we did wrong in the 3 we lost but the Horde seemed really good in those battles. There are two rounds in Strand of the Ancients, in the first round the Alliance are the attackers and the Horde are the defenders. In the second round the Alliance are the defenders and the Horde are the attackers. The object is to attack the gates when you are the attackers and defend them when you are the defenders. You use tanks to attack and destroy the gates and the main objective is a relic. If you can get the relic you win that round. I don't know what happens if both sides fail to get the relic or if both sides do get the relic but I am sure I will find out soon enough. I was queuing out of Dalaran for this but I believe there is a Battle Master for Strand of the Ancients in Darnassus too. I also fought in 1 Eye of the Storm, a win, 1 Arathi Basin, a loss, 1 WarSong Gulch, a loss and 1 Alterac Valley also a loss. I will do some more Strand of the Ancients tomorrow, I was getting good kills and good honor. This could be the new AV.

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.
