Northrend 4/15/09

I got Wranngar and Gomorra all spec'd up again tonight. I hate it when they refund all your points, it seems like when I finally get them they way I like them they refund all your points. Anyway they are both spec'd again and life goes on.

I did the daily cooking first thing tonight. It was Sewer Stew so I headed down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. I needed 4 on each. Once I had those I grabbed some Chilled Meat out of the guild bank, cooked up some Vegetable Stew and delivered it to my innkeeper, Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices in it. Hardly worth getting out of bed for Gomorra. Wranngar got a Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices in it and 9g93s. A much better day for him than Gomorra. For a change I didn't spend my award on more Northern Spices, I hung onto it instead. They now have a chef hat you can buy for 100 awards. I saw the price and decided not to get it until I saw they made it part of the cooking achievements. I want to get all the cooking achievements done so I will have to buy one now...

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on both tonight. They are both doing all the same quests now that Gomorra is revered with them. I do them on one then I go back and do them on the other, it's not boring, really..... anyway I did them all, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. These take me 25-30 minutes on each, and I make about 66 gold on each, so it's not too bad. Wranngar also did Overstock in the Storm Peaks on his way there, a quick easy quest that pays around 13 gold.

I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's after that, Gomorra is doing Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire! while Wranngar does those 2 plus From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Shoot 'Em Up and Intelligence Gathering. I actually got the last documents I needed for Intelligence Gathering and turned that in tonight too. Wranngar is exalted with them but Gomorra is only friendly. I will look around and see if there are any more quests I can do for them on Gomorra to get more rep.

I made a couple pieces of cloth on Gomorra tonight, my cooldown was up on Ebonweave and Moonshroud so I made 2 pieces of Ebonweave and one piece of Moonshroud. I can make 2 pieces of Ebonweave at a time because I am a Shadow Tailor.

Update 4/14/09

I was able to get on long enough after downloading the patch to do the daily cooking quest on Gomorra. I printed out his talents yesterday in anticipation of getting all my talent points reimbursed but didn't print out Wranngar's for some reason unknown even to myself so I am not going to log onto him until I can get those printed out. It makes it so much easier when you have something to follow.

The daily cooking today was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again so I got all the things I needed and cooked some up. When I delivered it I got a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return I guess. Gomorra got a new recipe today, Poached Nettlefish, with his awards and also purchased the recipe for Black Jelly from the cooking trainer in Dalaran for 5 gold. This is a pretty nice recipe for a non-buff food, it restores 18,000 health and 15,000 mana in 30 seconds. He whipped up a batch of those just to have them on hand. Wranngar will pick it up too when he gets on.

Patch 3.1.0

I spent almost all my available play time downloading the new patch tonight, hopefully it will be worth it :). There are a lot of new changes so it should be. I am looking forward to dual specing Gomorra. He is currently a Master Demonologist and his second spec will be Destruction. I leveled Gomorra from level 1 to 70 as Destruction and really liked it but changed him to Demonology after I hit level 70 just to try it out. I always thought that Demonology was useless because if you lose your minion you got nothing, but once I switched to check it out I didn't want to go back. His other option is Affliction. I have come across Affliction Warlocks in the battleground and if you have enough health to wait out their spells while you kill them they are not a problem. In the past both Gomorra and Wranngar have had enough health and Wranngar can dispel most spells and poisons.

Wranngar is spec'd Feral. My other options for a dual spec are Balance and Restoration. I do enough casting on Gomorra so I don't really want to go Balance. Restoration is for healing and the only place I would use that is in the battlegrounds. Most of the people I see in the battlegrounds are, in my opinion, too stupid to live so why would I encourage them by healing them? It is best that they are put out of their misery as soon as possible. I am going to look into having a second Feral spec for tanking if I ever decide to do instances on him, but Gomorra is the one I am currently planning on doing instances with and keeping Wranngar in the battlegrounds where he does best.

Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage 4/13/09

Gomorra finally had Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage drop for him tonight. I had been wondering if it would ever drop, then after it did I did some thinking which I am prone to do on occasion. I leveled Gomorra's First Aid skill to 399 yesterday (In an attempt to get to 400) so I could use Heavy Frostweave Bandages, even if I couldn't make them, and I wondered if that had anything to do with it finally dropping. I went to Thottbot and did some reading and the general opinion seems to be that you have to have First Aid Skill of 390 or higher to get it to drop. That makes sense as I had been killing these same mobs for weeks without it dropping. I have heard people say that it only drops off dungeon mobs but I knew that wasn't true because it dropped for Wranngar outside a dungeon, in Zul'Drak around level 74, but he had 400 First Aid Skill at the time.

From what everyone is saying, if you have 390, or higher, First Aid Skill and you go to Rageclaw Den around 33,64, which is South of Light's Breach in Zul'drak, there is a pretty high drop rate for it, around 20%. This is a BoP book so the only way you are going to get it is if it drops for you. Because I now have it on both my characters that are in Northrend I will have to wait until I get my Deathknight Wrangar out there to see if the drop rate is really that high. If anyone heads out there after reading this post and gets it to drop, or has had it drop there, let us know how it worked out for you.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf 4/13/09

Today's daily cooking in Dalaran was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. This is a pretty easy quest any way you look at it. How long it takes is dependent on how many people are trying to do it at the same time. All you have to do is head down into the sewers (Underbelly) and pick 4 Infused Mushrooms. This can go really fast if no one to a couple people are doing it, it can take quite awhile if everyone is trying to do it. Today there weren't too many people trying to do it so it went pretty quick. I picked my Infused Mushroom's, cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and delivered my Meatloaf's to Orton Bennet at Curiosities and Moore. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return for Gomorra. Wranngar got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a with 3 Small Spice BagNorthern Spices in it. Not a bad return for Wranngar either. As usual I spent Wranngar's award on Northern Spices for the guild bank.

Gomorra went and saw The Rokk, (61,15) in Shattrath, to see what he had today, but all he had for me was Manalicious which I already did. I am only doing these Shattrath daily cooking quests for the achievement, Kickin' It Up a Notch. There are 4 of them, I might have mistakenly reported 5 earlier, and I have 2 done. The sad part is I did this daily for over a year and didn't get any credit at all for it... I also have to cook all the Outlands recipes that I have cooked so many times before because I don't have credit for any of those either.

The Sons of Hodir daily's went pretty quick on both today. Of course on my way there on Wranngar I stopped off at K3 in the Storm Peaks and did Overstock. This is an easy daily that only takes a few minutes and pays around 13 gold. I try to never skip it. I need to doa couple more quests there before I can start doing it on Gomorra. I did all my usual daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra and Wranngar, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter plus Feeding Arngrim on Wranngar. Gomorra became revered today, so tomorrow he will also start doing Feeding Arngrim. I am starting to make some pretty good gold every day off daily's.

My daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade went pretty quick today too, all in all it was a pretty quick day for daily's. Of couse I am only doing 2 on Gomorra, Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire!. Wranngar does those plus From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Shoot 'Em Up and Intelligence Gathering. I still didn't have enough Onslaught Intel Documents to turn in Intelligence Gathering today, I usually turn this one in every 5 days to a week or so. I don't go out of my way to get these documents because they can take as long to get as it takes to do the other 2 quests combined.

Deathknight 4/12/09

I worked on my Deathknight, Wrangar, for a little while today. I hadn't touched him in a couple months at least but I have been hearing everyone QQing about how overpowered Deathknights are. The first thing I did when I got on was Torgos!. I remember having a difficult time on this with Gomorra with another person along but I solo'd it with ease on Wrangar. I guess I have to say Deathknight's are a little overpowered. I came through it with 80% of my health intact. The funny part is I could barely play it after a couple months away from it, I didn't even remember what spells did what lol. I set up all my characters the same way, I put the spells I use most (spam) in my bottom left toolbar from left to right so that's how I was playing it. It all came back to me after awhile. Wrangar is level 66 now so I am working on getting him to 68 so I can head to Northernd. Once you get to Northrend the last 12 levels go pretty quick. There are a lot of quests there and a lot of XP to be earned from each quest. On Wranngar and Gomorra I usually made around 200-300 gold a day just questing. Plus Wrangar is also a skinner with 433 skinning skill so he is ready to skin in Northrend. Wranngar will appreciate that :). I did a few more quests in Blades Edge Mountains after that and got a couple bars. I will try to work on him a little each day after I get my daily's done on Wranngar and Gomorra.

Northrend 4/12/09

I was really busy today. I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar before they rolled over this morning and then did them again after they rolled over. It was a pretty good gold making day between Wranngar and Gomorra. I did Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim on Wranngar this morning, then after they rolled over I did them again, then did Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter on Gomorra. Gomorra is 9967/12000 honored with The Sons of Hodir and Wranngar is 15675/21000 revered with them. Wranngar should have been exalted with them by now but I took some time off doing most of his daily's so I could spend more time leveling Gomorra. Now that they are both 80 I will be doing all my daily's every day. These daily quests are going faster and faster every day. The only one I really don't like is Hot and Cold. The reason I don't like this one is, when you throw your Essence of Ice on the Smoldering Scraps at Fjorn's Anvil anyone can loot it and most days someone does. I finally got so sick and tired of going back and farming more Essence of Ice I decided I would just do what everyone else is doing, loot someone else's if someone takes one of mine. Now I go in there with 5 Essence of Ice and I come out with 5 Frozen Iron Scraps. No more going back to farm one or two more. I don't like doing it but, as I said, I am sick of having to go farm more because other people rip mine off. This is one I will probably drop when I am exalted.

The daily cooking quest in Dalaran was Sewer Stew today so I flew down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. While I was picking them on Gomorra I didn't see anyone else there so I got the 4 I needed really fast. When I flew down on Wranngar there was one other person there picking and there was more than enough for 2 so it went fast for him as well. You can find these in Crystalsong Forest around 31,42. If you don't have coordinates they are loacted right under Dalaran. You can find your carrots by first teleporting down, then running due east towards the river. When I got back to Dalaran I grabbed 4 pieces of Chilled Meat for each from the guild bank and cooked up my Vegetable Stew. I delivered them to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return for him. Wranngar got a Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it plus 9g93s. A pretty good return for him today. I spent Wranngar's 2 awards on 20 more Northern Spices and now have 569 in the bank. I need to start cooking, I am becoming overstocked with meat. I got a lot of meat today when I was farming leather on Wranngar.

Gomorra also went and saw The Rokk, (61,15) in Shattrath and picked up his daily cooking. For some reason he does not have credit for doing any of them in the achievements and he is going to need to do them to get his Hail to the Chef achievement and Chef title. Yesterday's was Manalicious which requires you to go to Netherstorm and pick Mana Berries but today's was Revenge is Tasty so I was on my way to Skettis. Once I got there I had to fly around and get a Monstrous Kaliri to attack me. Once I had aggro I landed and killed him. I got my Giant Kaliri Wing on the first kill. I headed back to Shattrath and cooked it up with some Warp Burgers to make Kaliri Stew. I handed that back in to The Rokk and picked the barrel of fish but don't remember what I got lol. It was nothing too exciting but I need the meat from this quest because I also don't have credit for cooking any outlands recipes on Gomorra and I need to cook them all for the achievement. I have 2 of the Shattrath daily cooking quests done now, 3 more to go.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade after that. I did them on both Wranngar and Gomorra but Wranngar does a lot more of them. Gomorra is friendly with them and I think he will be able to pick up the rest when he is honored. Wranngar does From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and Intelligence Gathering while Gomorra is only doing Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire. I am still pulling some pretty good gold out of these dailys. These are pretty easy quests. Intelligence Gathering, From Their Corpese, Rise! and No Fly Zone are done in Onslaught Harbor while Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire and Shoot 'Em Up is done in Jotunheim. I usually get all the quests first, then go to Onslaught Harbor and hit Jotunheim on the way back after I turn in the Onslaught Harbor daily's at Death's Rise where you pick them up.

Leatherworking 4/12/09

I worked on Wranngar's Leatherworking some tonight. I got him up to level 441, only 9 more to go. I was hoping to make myself some Epic pants but there were no patterns available. I did make a pair of Giantmaim Legguards which I sent to Salintu along with a Frosthide Leg Armor kit to put on them. I couldn't attach the Frosthide Leg Armor because it causes the item to become soulbound. Being a Druid I can't wear Mail. Salintu reached 80 the other day on her first character :). I know how it feels to finally be done leveling, it is a gooood feeling. She beat me on Gomorra by 2 days.

The Horde attacked Ironforge again tonight trying to kill the king. I got there just in time and got 5 killing blows in. There weren't too many left and the one's that were left weren't feeling so hot :). There were a couple stragglers that came in after we cleaned out the kings room so we killed them too. A good time was had by everyone except the Horde. Ironforge is a dark place, it is a city carved into a mountain and that's why the picture is so dark. The king came through it unharmed.

Knights of the Ebon Blade 4/11/09

I got Gomorra to level 80 tonight. Ironically I was doing my daily quests for the Knights of the Ebon Blade when I leveled, the same exact thing Wranngar was doing when he leveled to 80. We'll have to see what my Deathknight Wrangar is doing when he levels to 80. He has 14 levels to go so I guess it is time to start working on him now. I don't even want to think about my Hunter Brieanna, who has 44 levels to go, that's just too depressing to think about lol. Gomorra's level 80 training cost me 136 gold but it's over now :).

I did some more questing in Icecrown tonight on Gomorra. Like I said I was doing my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade when I leveled. I only have 2 daily's for them so far, Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire!. Because I leveled to 80 while I was doing them, but before I handed them, in I got 13g23s for each when I did hand them in. The Knights of the Ebon Blade Quartermaster has some nice items I would like to get so I need to build up my reputation with them. Wranngar does From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up, Vile Like Fire! and Intelligence Gathering for daily's for them.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir tonight on Gomorra but didn't have time to do them on Wranngar. Tomorrow I will start doing them on both characters. I will probably get on Wranngar tomorrow morning and do my daily's for The Sons of Hodir and Knights of the Ebon Blade before the daily's roll over. Gomorra is still honored with them so he does Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. Wranngar is revered with them so he does Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and, because he is revered, he can also do Feeding Arngrim. There is one more that both of them could be doing, Thrusting Hodir's Spear, but it was so hard on Wranngar that I decided it wasn't worth the effort. That one involves harpooning a drake flying by then clinging to it while it try's to kill you. Of course you are also trying to kill it. I never even got close on Wranngar so I didn't even bother trying on Gomorra.

The daily cooking quest in Dalaran was Cheese for Glowergold for a change. It's not a nice change but a change none the less. This is my least favorite daily cooking quest followed closely by Mustard Dogs!. The reason for that is the items you need to get. Usually everyone else is trying to do it too so it can take awhile to get all the mats you need. Anyway I ran around Dalaran picking up Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses until each of them had 6. Then I headed over to the One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop, to get a piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger for each of them. I got the cheese pretty quick on both so that was nice after all the time it took to get all the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. For those who are not familiar with this quest, the reason I go around picking up Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses is so I can pour them into a wine bottle and put it on a platter with the cheese. Then I give that to Ranid Glowergold at the Leatherworkers in the Magus Commerce Exchange and he is none the wiser. Kind of sneaky but you gotta do whatever it takes to become a chef lol. I delivered the Wine and Cheese Platter to Glowergold and he gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 5 Old Spices and 5 Baby Spice in it. Gomorra made out pretty good today. Wranngar on the other hand did not. He got a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices in it. What a difference in rewards. As usual I spent Wranngar's award on 10 more Northern Spices which I put in the guild bank. I have around 550 now. I did some cooking on Gomorra tonight, he spent his awards from the last couple days on Recipe: Firecracker Salmon. He cooked up 14 or 15 of them and got the first stage of The Northrend Gourmet achievement done. There are 45 recipes you have to cook to complete it but they break it down into 15 recipes each stage. Gomorra's cooking skill is 424 now.

I got Gomorra geared somewhat in level 80 gear, some of it I made, a couple pieces are reputation rewards and I purchased a couple pieces. He only has a few pieces of his level 70 Epic PvP gear left now, choker, rings and a trinket. I will probably buy rings for him tomorrow.

Knights of the Ebon Blade 4/10/09

I did some more questing tonight in Icecrown on Gomorra. I did a bunch of quests for the Knights of the Ebon Blade. I increased my reputation to friendly and now I am doing a couple of the daily's for them, Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire!. I am only getting around 7g40s for these now because I am still getting XP but when I hit 80 they will increase to 13g23s. I am still doing quests for them and haven't made it to Death's Rise yet, where I should be able to pick up 3 more daily's. I am less than 5 bars from leveling to 80 so I will definitely level tomorrow. Don't let the less than 5 bars fool you though, I still have 413,911 XP to go. That will take me a couple hours. I got a pretty nice staff as a reward tonight that will hold me until I can replace it with something better. And by better I mean Superior.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra tonight but I ended up not having enough time to do them on Wranngar. The ones I did on Gomorra are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. I timed it today and it took me about a half hour but that included some farming for leather and meat. If I just stick to the quests I can get them done in about 25 minutes. After I get Gomorra to 80 tomorrow I will be doing them on both along with the Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's.

Today's daily cooking was Convention at the Legerdemain. This is a really easy one, all I had to do was head over to the Wine and Cheese shop, One More Glass, and get a jug of wine. Sometimes this can take a little while but today there were only a couple people there and I got my jugs on both pretty quick. Once I had the wine I headed over to the bank and grabbed 4 pieces of Chilled Meat so I could make 4 Northern Stew. Once I had my jug of wine and 4 Northern Stew on both Gomorra and Wranngar I headed over to The Legerdemain and delivered it to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender. She gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 5 Old Spices and 5 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad day for Gomorra. Wranngar got a Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it and 9g93s. Not the best haul for Wranngar but not bad. I took the award Wranngar got and bought 10 more Northern Spices for the guild bank, now I have 548. They are good to have on hand because you can always use them. They go for around 3 gold each on the auction house so I don't want to have to buy them.

Icecrown 4/9/09

I did some questing in Icecrown on Gomorra tonight. I did a bunch of Knights of the Ebon Blade and Argent Crusade quests. I am now about 6 1/2 bars into level 79 and all but the last 3 are rested so basically the whole level is rested for me. You only use your rested XP on kills. Quests, which give the most XP, move the rested marker forward every time you get XP from them. The only way I could get to 80 now without being on rested XP would be to just get out there and grind. Grinding is when you just kill things to get XP and don't do any, or very little, questing. I will hit 80 on Gomorra tomorrow or Saturday. Then I will have to start working on gearing him. I have 2 pieces of my level 80 gear made but need 6 more pieces Ebonweave to make my robe. I can make my next piece in 1 day 16 hours roughly. There is a 4 day cool down on all the top end cloths. I can make 2 pieces because I am a Shadoweave tailor. I am also making Moonshroud for my 22 slot bags but I can only make one piece every 4 days so that is going to take me awhile, I have one piece now.

I did the daily cooking on Gomorra and Wranngar tonight. It was Mustard Dogs!..... We just had Mustard Dogs as the daily cooking for 5 days straight then had a day off with Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and now we are back to Mustard Dogs again. It took me a long time to get the 4 Wild Mustard I needed on each today, everyone was doing it and everyone was complaining about it in trade chat. I was one of them. You can find Wild Mustard in any and all of the Grassy areas in Dalaran. Anyway I finally got the 4 Wild Mustard on each that I needed so I headed over to the bank to get some Rhino Meat so I could make some Rhino Dogs. It takes 4 pieces of Rhino Meat on each for this daily. Needless to say I am running really low on Rhino Meat and will have to go farming. Once I had my Mustard Dog Baskets made up I headed over to deliver them to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing. He was pretty happy to see me and gave Gomorra 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad haul for Gomorra today. Wranngar got 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. I took my 2 awards on Wranngar and got 20 more Northern Spices for the guild bank. I have over 500 now, 523 I think. Gomorra used his awards to get Recipe: Mighty Rhino Dogs which he cooked up. He is 2 recipes away from completing stage 1 of The Northrend Gourmet achievement. You have to cook all 45 of the Northrend recipes to complete all 3 stages but for some reason they credit you 15 at a time so you actually earn the achievement 3 times before it is done. Don't ask me why....

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra and Wranngar tonight. I do 4 on Gomorra, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter and 5 on Wranngar, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. I make about 53 gold doing these on Gomorra and around 66 on Wranngar. It usually takes me around 25 minutes to do Gomorra's 4 and a half hour to do Wranngar's 5, give or take 5 minutes or so depending on how many people are doing it. When I am revered with them on Gomorra I will be able to start doing Feeding Arngrim which is about the easiest of all. I got a lot of leather today on Wranngar. I was folloing around a Paladin that was leveling his unarmed skill and I ended up getting about 80 pieces of Borean Leather which I turned into Heavy Borean Leather. I didn't get any Arctic Fur today on either of them today :(.

Gomorra 4/8/09

Tonight I decided to get the daily cooking quest in Dalaran out of the way first lol. Ok, I do the daily cooking first every day :). It was Mustard Dogs! tonight so I took my picnic basket and went in search of some Wild Mustard. It took a long time to get the 4 I needed on both Gomorra and Wranngar. It seemed like everyone was doing it. When I finally had 4 Wild Mustard on both I headed over to the bank for some Rhino Meat so I could cook up some Rhino Dogs. It takes 4 Wild Mustard and 4 Rhino Dogs to make a Mustard Dog Basket. Once I had the baskets made I headed over to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing and gave them to him. He gave Gomorra 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it, and 9g93s. Not too bad. Wranngar got 9g93s, a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 4 Old Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it along with 9g93s. Not a bad day for Wranngar either. I spent Wranngar's 2 awards on 20 more Northern Spices which I put in the guild bank. I now have over 500 Northern Spices :).

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra first because I wanted to level to 79. I did Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. I got another piece of Arctic Fur while doing this quest tonight, they must have increased the drop rate on these as I have gotten 7 in the last 5 days. Altogether these daily's take me about 20 minutes and pay around 53 gold plus reputation. I am still choosing not to do Thrusting Hodir's Spear as it does not seem to be worth the effort. I leveled to 79 when I turned these in tonight so I am on the longest level now. It seems to take forever to get from 79 to 80 but that is just because you want it to be over lol. I went to Stormwind and got my training done, it cost me 90 gold this time. I am honored with The Son's of Hodir but can not buy anything from them I can use because of my level. I guess I will pick up everything I can use when I hit 80. I made a piece of Moonshroud later at the Emerald Dragonshrine, right around 64,74. This location does not have to be exact, you just need to be in the general vicinity of the bones.

I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar after that. To kind of mix it up a little I did the daily in K3, Overstock, on my way back from doing my daily's for the Sons of Hodir, just to mix it up a little lol. On Wranngar I do Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. Altogether these take me about 25 minutes and pay around 66 gold plus reputation. On the way back I stopped off at K3 to do Overstock. This is a fast easy quest that pays around 13 gold and only takes a few minutes. All you have to do is run over to Garm's Bane and lay down some land mines. I lay the mines out in a straight line starting from the South side and work my way about half way across. When I am half way across I turn back and fill in any big gaps in my line where mines were set off. Like I said, this one only takes a few minutes and pays well, I recommend doing it every day. I didn't do any daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade because I didn't have a lot of time and leveling Gomorra to 80 is more important right now. I will pick them up again when they can both do them.

Sons of Hodir Daily's 4/7/09

I did the daily cooking in Dalaran on both Wranngar and Gomorra tonight. It was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for a change. I headed down into the sewers in search of Infused Mushrooms. It took me quite awhile to get the 4 I needed on Gomorra but I got the 4 I needed on Wranngar pretty quick. Once I had all the Infused Mushrooms I needed I cooked them up with some Chilled Meat and made a couple meatloafs. I delivered those to Orton Bennet at Curiosities and Moore. He gave Gomorra a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Wranngar got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 5 Old Spices in it. A pretty good return on this daily for both. I spent Wranngar's award on 10 more Northern Spices, which I put in the guild bank. I had 500 until Gomorra cooked up his new recipe he got with his awards today, Recipe: Poached Northern Sculpin. Now I have about 480 again. Easy come, easy go.

I went and did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra once I had the daily cooking out of the way. I am currently doing Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter. I will start doing Feeding Arngrim once I am revered but am pretty sure I will stay away from Thrusting Hodir's Spear. I will do all the pre-req quests for it but I am not interested in doing it after the first few tries I had on Wranngar, he is a lot tougher than Gomorra. That is pretty much all the daily's I did today. Update: I have an updated post that explains how to go from hated to friendly and unlock the Sons of Hodir daily's. You can find it here Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's.

I did a little questing on Gomorra in Zul'Drak even though I hate it there. There are a few pretty easy quests there that pay well and give good XP. I am just a little over 2 bars away from level 79. I will probably reach 79 tomorrow doing my daily's, if not I will quest. I will reach 79 tomorrow :).
