Quests 3/19/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and got my daily's out of the way. The first one I did was the daily cooking which was Convention at the Legerdemain. I headed over to the wine and cheese shop where there were already a few people present waiting for the jug of wine to spawn. It took me about 5 minutes but I finally got one. I headed over to the bank form there and got 4 pieces of Chilled Meat which I made into 4 Northern Stew. With everything I needed in hand I headed over to the Legerdemain and delivered it in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award, which I immediately spent on 10 Northern Spices, and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices in it. Not the best haul but I have had worse.

I headed over to the Storm Peaks to do Overstock, which only took me a couple minutes and got me around 13 gold, then I was off to do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. The 4 daily's I do for them don't take me long at all and get me around 53 gold. I am about 2/3 of the way though honored with them. Once I get to revered I will be able to start doing Feeding Arngrim.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade after that. I got all 6 of them done today. I did: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and Intelligence Gathering. I finally got enough documents to turn in Intelligence Gathering, I think it is the first time this week I have handed it in. I make about 80 gold doing these 6 daily's. I am already exalted with Knights of the Ebon Blade so I am just doing them for the gold. I need to find a couple more factions to do daily's for, I think I am only doing 11 or 12 a day now.

I got on Gomorra afterwards and did a bunch of quests for The Kalu'ak. I got so involved in those that i forgot to do my daily's for them. I will make sure I do them tomorrow and I will continue to work on all the other quests that have that I am eligible to get. I am honored with The Kalu'ak and if I can do all the quests they have, they should get me at least half way through revered.

Quests and Stuff 3/18/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and jumped right into my daily's. Of course the first one I did was the daily cooking. Today it was Mustard Dogs! again. I went out in search of Wild Mustard and got the 4 I needed pretty quick. Once I had those I headed over to the bank and grabbed 4 pieces of Rhino Meat so I could make 4 Rhino Dogs. Once I had my Rhino Dogs I cooked them up with the Wild Mustard to get a Mustard Dog Basket!. With that in hand I headed over to deliver it to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He was so happy to see me, he gave me 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, 9g93s, 3 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices. I took my 2 awards and spent them on 20 more Northern Spices, which I put in the bank, giving me a total of 317.

I did my daily's next. I headed over to the Storm Peaks to do Overstock, a quick easy quest that pays around 13 gold. From there I headed over to Dun Niffelem to do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. I did the 4 daily's I usually do. These usually take me about a half hour or so and I get about 52g92s for them. These are all pretty much full contact daily's so I do wrack up a bit of a repair bill but not too bad. The 4 I do for them are: Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. I am a little over half way through honored with them now.

My daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade take me a little longer but there are 6 of them so I make a little more gold. The ones I usually do are: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and every few days I turn in Intelligence Gathering. Intelligence Gathering takes too much time so I just get the documents when I find them while doing the other quests and turn it in when I finally have 5.

I got on Gomorra and did my 2 daily's for The Kalu'ak. Those don't take long and pay 550 reputation and 5 gold each. I am able to do some of the other quests for them so my reputation is growing. I will continue to work on those other quests tomorrow when I get on. I also worked on Gomorra's Tailoring and got that up to 411. I did end up making a Flying Carpet. The mats were so cheap it was unbelieveable. I took that to Shattrath, because I can't fly in North Rend until level 77, and tried it out. You stand upright while you are riding it and you are balancing the whole time to keep from falling off. I don't imagine it would be good on a long trip, you would be exhausted by the time you got there.

Northrend 3/17/09

I did a little questing on Gomorra tonight after I got done doing my daily's on Wranngar. I got Gomorra to level 71 so I went to Stormwind to get my training. I didn't think to check in Dalaran before I went to see if they have any class trainers there. They didn't in Outlands so I just assumed they wouldn't here either. I got my training done, a couple spell upgrades but very expensive. From there I headed back to North Rend and worked on my Tailoring a little. I got my tailoring up to 404 which is only 6 points away from being able to make a Flying Carpet and Frostweave Bags. That will be nice although I don't know if I will make a Flying Carpet because at 425 skill I will be able to make a Magnificent Flying Carpet. I guess it will depend on how long it takes me to get to 425 once I hit 410.

I did my daily for The Kalu'ak on Gomorra today and picked up another one when I hit 71. I did the one I have been doing, Preparing for the Worst, which is really easy. You run around and pick up these baskets laying around the area. You need to pick up 8 and then return them to the quest giver. This one is worth 550 reputation and pays 5 gold. I also picked up Planning for the Future. This is another easy one. You need to go a little north of the quest giver, up into the hills, and kidnap 12 little wolf-kid/pups. This one is pretty easy and goes quick as long as not too many people are trying to do it at once. This one is worth 550 reputation and 5 gold as well. I am really friendly with them now and I will be honored tomorrow. There are some other quests that give you good rep that I am too low to do. By building rep doing the daily's I might have enough so I will hit exalted when I can finally do all the other quests. The reason I want to be exalted with them is to buy the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.

I did my daily's on Wranngar tonight. I did the dialy cooking first which was Mustard Dogs!. I ran around Dalaran picking Wild Mustard until I had the 4 I needed then I went to the bank and got 4 pieces of Rhino Meat so I could make Rhino Dogs. Once I had my Rhino Dogs cooked up I cooked them, with the Wild Mustard, in the pot provided and delivered it to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He gave me 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices in it. I wasn't even bummed out about only getting 2 Northern Spices because I got the 2 cooking awards :). With those burning a hole in my pocket I ran over to the cooking supply vendor and got 20 more Northern Spices. I put those in the bank and now I have 294, tomorrow I will have over 300. I have been stocking up on some fish and meat though so I will cook up a lot of stuff too.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade after my daily cooking was done. I completed all the daily's for them with the exception of Intelligence Gathering. I still didn't have enough documents. Oh well, I will turn that one in when I have enough documents but I am not going out of my way to look for them. I wasted enough time in the past doing that. I did the other 5 though and got some gold from those. These quests pay 13g23s each so it adds up on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. Now if I could only stop spending it would really add up.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir after that, but first I stopped off and did Overstock in the Storm Peaks. This is a fast easy quest that pays around 13 gold, I would be crazy to skip that one. After that I did my Son's of Hodir daily's. They are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. When I am exalted I can also get Feeding Arngrim. I forgot to check and see where I am as far as reputation goes but it is somewhere in honored on my way to revered. There is one more quest I could be doing but haven't been, it's Thrusting Hodir's Spear. This is a quest where you have to spear a flying wrym and then cling to it and kill it while it is flying around and trying to kill you. You have to maintain your grip on it or you will fall off and there are a couple other weapons you can use. Basically it is another Blizzard weapon/tool and I hate those, they always seem so hard to use/control. Anyway I may try it again.

Gomorra 3/16/09

I didn't get Gomorra to 71 today. I did drop enchanting though and took up skinning instead. I worked on my skinning for the rest of the day except when I was doing my daily's on Wranngar. I started skinning in Elwynn Forest and worked my way over to the Redridge Mountains. From there I headed over to Duskwood and worked my skill up there. Once I hit 200 I went back for more training for the second time then headed over to Refuge Point in the Arathi Highlands. I skinned there until I got one that didn't give me a point then I headed over to Swamp of Sorrows and killed stuff there until I stopped getting points. My last stop was Blasted Lands and that got me to 300.

I headed over to the Dark Portal and went through into the Outlands then caught a flight to Shattrath. I went and saw the skinning trainer and got training that would take me to 375. I headed back to Hellfire Peninsula to kill and skin Hell Boars. I worked my way from one end of Hellfire Peninsula to the other killing and skinning. Once I was done there I headed over to Nagrand and killed Clefthoofs and Talbuks. That took me to 375 so I headed back to Shattrath and took the portal to Stormwind so I could take the boat to North Rend.

When I got to North Rend I headed right over to the Grand Master Skinning Trainer and got my training. Now I can level my skill to 450. This is going to come in real handy leveling Wranngar's Leatherworking and will also make some nice money on the auction house. I can always drop it later if I want to for something else but I think I will keep it for awhile and see what kind of gold I can make with it.

I did my daily for The Kalu'ak today. It only took me a few minutes and gives 550 rep. It only pays 5 gold but I am not in it for the gold, I am in it for the reputation so I can buy the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole from them.

Wranngar 3/16/09

I was only on Wranngar long enough to do my daily's today. I did the daily cooking first which was Convention at the Legerdemain. I headed over to the wine and cheese shop first to get my jug of wine. I got one pretty quick, only took a couple of minutes and I was off to the bank for some Chilled Meat to make Northern Stew with. Once I had my Northern Stew made up I headed over to the Legerdemain and delivered it. I got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag which had 3 Northern Spices in it. Not the best returns but it is an easy one.

I headed over to the Storm Peaks to do Overstock. That only took me a few minutes and I was on my way to The Sons of Hodir. I did my 4 daily's for them, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. These really don't take me too long and I get some good meat and leather as well as gold from them. I am working my way through honored now and will pick up another daily from them when I am revered, Feeding Arngrim.

I did my 5 Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's after that. I did: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire! but still didn't have enough documents to turn in Intelligence Gathering. Maybe I will finish that up tomorrow. I am not too worried about it. I am already exalted with the Knights of the Ebon Blade and am only doing these for the gold.

Gomorra 3/15/09

I did some questing on Gomorra today. I thought I would get to level 71 today but I didn't quite make it. When I went to fly out of Dalaran I only had 60 silver on me and couldn't even get a flight. I sold some of the items I made and got around 19 gold. From there I flew over to the Harbor then headed out into Borean Tundra to quest. I did a bunch of quests there including some for The Kalu'ak. I am already half way through friendly with them and have a daily but I am not high enough level to get the other daily's yet. The daily I am doing is Preparing for the Worst. Maybe I can pick up another one tomorrow when I hit 71. I am also thinking about switching Gomorra from Enchanting to Skinning as one of his professions. I already have Skinning on Wranngar and Wrangar but it is a money maker and I can always use the leather on Wranngar for leatherworking. I already got a couple items that are as nice if not a little nicer than what I currently have. I will work on Gomorra some more tomorrow. Instead of just hanging around on Wranngar, and when I don't feel like doing battlegrounds, I will work on Gomorra. I have been bored and not spending as much time playing lately, maybe this is what I need. I had a pretty good time getting used to Gomorra again tonight.

Wranngar 3/15/09

I got on Wranngar today and did all my daily's. The first one I did was the daily cooking in Dalaran. Today it was Sewer Stew. I headed down to Crystalsong Forest and picked 4 Crystalsong Carrots. That only took me a couple minutes and I was on my way back to Dalaran. Once I was back there I headed to the bank and got 4 Chilled Meat to cook them up with. Once I had my Vegetable Stew I headed down into the sewers and delivered it to Ajay Green at the inn. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and 5 Old Spices. Not too bad but another Dalaran Cooking Award would have got me 10 more Northern Spices. As it was I got 10 more with my award and put them in the bank. I did a lot of cooking today and used up a bunch of Northern Spices but I will recover them quickly.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. There are 4 of them I do and they don't take me too long. I do: Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. I didn't try Thrusting Hodir's Spear again, I just might drop that one and take a little longer to become exalted. These daily's pay 13g23s each and don't take me too long. I also farmed some Mammoths for meat and leather while I was there. As usual I stopped by Storm Peaks on my way there and did Overstock. This is a fast easy quest that gets you around 13 gold. I do this one every day.

After that did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's. I did all of them except Intelligence Gathering. I got a bunch of keys and a couple documents and will probably finish it off and turn it in tomorrow. The ones I did do were: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. These also don't take me very long and pay 13g23s each. I am already exalted with Knights of the Ebon Blade so I am just doing these for the gold. All in all I make some pretty good gold between quest rewards and the drops I sell to the vendor.

I did the daily fishing today too. I went to see Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and he gave me Felblood Fillet. I headed over to the Pools of Aggonar (39,37) in Hellfire Peninsula to catch me a Monstrous Felblood Snapper. It took me about a dozen casts to get one and I headed back to Old Man Barlo. On my way back I noticed someone taking the towers so I stopped and gave them a hand. It was a level 61 Hunter and he was pretty happy to see me :). I finally made my way back to Old Man Barlo and turned in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today it contained 6g74s76c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Piece of Polished Driftwood. Not the best day of fishing.

Honored 3/14/09

I am now honored with The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar. I reached that tonight after the first quest. The first thing I did when I logged on though was the daily cooking. Today it was Mustard Dogs! which was a nice change although I think the Wild Mustard is kind of hard to see. I usually just look for the sparkles then try to find it. I got the 4 I needed in 5 or 6 minutes then headed over to the bank for some Rhino Dogs, cooked them up, and delivered them to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He was so happy he gave me 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Another good day. I spent my 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards on 20 more Northern Spices so now I have 280. I did some cooking the other day and used a bunch of them but I have enough of a buffer now so I don't have to worry.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade tonight. I did all 6 of them, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and Intelligence Gathering. I even spent the extra time to do Intelligence Gathering. The last few days when I get done with my daily's I haven't felt like going into the battlegrounds so I farm a little bit, fish, meat and leather, then usually end up getting bored so I figure I can spend the time on that one for the 13g23s it pays. It didn't take me long today, I had 14 keys for Intelligence Gathering and picked up more as I did the other 2 quests so I didn't have to hunt around for keys and that made it a little quicker. I will probably just gather keys for a day or two then just hit all the boxes I can find for documents.

I hit honored with The Son's of Hodir tonight and got two of the other daily's. One of the new ones I picked up is Spy Hunter. This one is pretty easy. I also got another one, Thrusting Hodir's Spear but I had a really hard time doing it and gave up to go do my other daily's. I was going to get back to it but never did. I will try it again tomorrow and see what happens. I was reading about it on Thottbot and I guess it is pretty tough but that is what I read about Shoot 'Em up for the Knights of the Ebon Blade but after a few days it got easy, maybe that will happen with this one. Feeding Arngrim I won't get to do until I am revered. I thought it was honored but after reading up on it some more I see it is revered. I did the other 3 daily's I have for them though, they are: Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm. Pretty easy stuff and they pay well. I will see if I can get that one daily done tomorrow before daily's roll over that way I can do it again tomorrow. As usual I did Overstock in the Storm Peaks on my way to do my daily's for The Son's of Hodir. This is one daily that I would be stupid to miss. It takes no time or effort and pays around 13 gold.

Sons of Hodir 3/13/09

As usual I did the daily cooking first thing when I logged onto Wranngar. No surprise it was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again. I headed down into the sewers and got my 4 Infused Mushrooms in a couple minutes, it went pretty fast tonight. I cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and delivered it to Orton Bennet at Curiosities and Moore. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag for my trouble. My Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Another good haul today.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir and am only 275 rep away from being honored. I will get that tomorrow, I will probably hand in the first quest as soon as I finish it to get to honored then I can grab the other daily quests that you can't get until you are honored. The ones I did today were: Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold and Polishing the Helm. After I get to honored I will be able to do: Feeding Arngrim, Thrusting Hodir's Spear and Spy Hunter as well. They have a few nice items I want to get when I hit honored, revered and exalted. I also did Overstock in the Storm Peaks on my way to do The Sons of Hodir daily's. This is a fast easy quest that only takes a couple minutes and gets you around 13 gold.

I did 5 of the 6 daily's I do for the Knights of the Ebon Blade. I did: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. I got a couple documents for Intelligence Gathering but I don't have enough to turn it in yet. I think I have 14 keys now though.

Dungeons 3/12/09

I did my daily cooking as soon as I got on Wranngar. Today the daily cooking quest was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf so I headed down into the sewers in search of some Infused Mushrooms. It took me about 5 minutes to get the 4 I needed then I headed over to the bank to grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with. Once I had my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf cooked up I delivered it in exchange for a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 3 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award. A pretty good haul today.

The rest of the night I spent in various dungeons. Salintu invited me to run Upper Blackrock Spire and Stratholme with her and Stalleris. She is going for the Classic Dungeonmaster achievement. We ended up doing Lower Blackrock Spire, Upper Blackrock Spire and Blackrock Depths. Took us a few hours but I got the achievements for all 3 plus the Leeeeeeeeeeeeeroy! achievement. The Leeeeeeeeeeeeroy! achievement was a lot of fun. I went into bear form and ran through all these eggs breaking them open and letting dragon whelplings out. They were also breaking eggs near them so when I ran back to where Salintu and Stalleris were I must have had 80-100 or more of them on me. They hit them with AoE's and took them all down. You need to kill 50 in 15 seconds to get the achievement so we had it no problem. I got 4 achievements and had a lot of fun doing it. I am not sure if they did Stratholme or not after I logged off, but if they didn't, maybe they will want to do it tonight.

Daily's & Wyrmrest Accord 3/11/09

I did the daily cooking on Wranngar as soon as I logged on tonight. It was Convention at the Legerdemain and the jug of wine dropped pretty fast for me today. You have to keep going upstairs and downstairs looking for a blue sparkling jug, that is the jug of wine. I ran over to the bank and got 4 Chilled Meat so I could make 4 Northern Stew to go with the wine. When I had everything I needed I delivered it in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today all my Small Spice Bag had in it was 2 Northern Spices :(. I took the award I got and got 10 more Northern Spices bringing my total to 247. I did a bunch of cooking today to stock up the guild bank a little. I want to have 2 stacks of each Northrend food in there with the exception of the BoP food of course.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. These don't take long and in 2 days I will be honored with them and will pick up 3 more daily's. They have some nice stuff you can buy when you are honored and exalted. A few of the items I want to get are: Greater Inscription of the Axe, Pattern: Mammoth Mining Bag, Reins of the Ice Mammoth and Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth to name a few. I will be honored in 2 days as I said and I will be able to get some things form them then. I do my daily at K3 on my way over to do these. That one is Overstock. This is a pretty easy quest that takes no time at all and gets you around 13 gold.

I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's next. I didn't complete Intelligence Gathering but I still have it. I now have about 10 keys and when there is a chest next to a mob I kill I will open it. If there are documents in it good, if not oh well. I figure this way I can complete this quest every 3 days or so without wasting any extra time. I am doing 5 quests every day and Intelligence Gathering whenever it completes.

I helped Salintu with one of her Elite quests in Sholazar Basin tonight. I don't remember the name of it but she had to fight a Dragon while mounted on a Mammoth. I remembered doing it when I was in there and it completes the Nesingwary quests in North Rend. We didn't have any problem completing it.

The Alliance were sucking worse than usual in Arathi Basin tonight, which was the daily battleground today unfortunately. I fought in 2 battles in between daily's and we lost both of them. It was pretty sad. I got in one at the start and we had a good chance but no one wanted to defend so we lost our nodes and the Horde ended up winning that one. In the next one I got in towards the end. The Horde had a 5 cap going and all the Alliance, and Horde, we at the Stables. They should have been out attacking everything else, but they were all at the Stables. They deserved to lose. I was going to try again later but never got around to it.
