Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 3/10/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she got Convention at the Legerdemain for her daily cooking quest. This is a pretty quick one but uses a lot of my mats. I have only been doing the daily cooking on Brieanna lately so it's not too bad.

This had me running over to the bank to grab some Chilled Meat, the recipe calls for 4, to make the 4 Northern Stew I needed. I built a fire and cooked that up in the bank, then was off to One More Glass for a Jug of Wine. I found the wine upstairs today as soon as I got there so that was nice and quick.

Once I had the wine and stew I headed across the road to deliver it to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 6 Northern Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul today.

Forge of Souls 3/10/10

Brieanna did her first WotLK instance tonight. She did The Forge of Souls 5 man. She did it in normal mode 3 times and heroic mode one time. I usually don't do instances at all, but I want to get Brieanna a better main weapon and this is the only way I am going to be able to do it without an 1800 arena rating in 3's or 5's.

The Forge of Souls is the first dungeon in the attunement process for Halls of Reflection, the second one is Pit of Saron which I did later.

I got a group for The Forge of Souls using the dungeon finder system and made out pretty well. The people I was grouped with had obviously done it before, it was a fast moving group. We pretty much tore right through there without any problems. I didn't really notice a difference in challenge between normal and heroic, but the loot was better in heroic. I am in full PvP gear and nothing dropped that was even close to being better than, or even equal to, what I was wearing. The last boss you kill in The Forge of Souls is Devourer of Souls pictured here. He is a pretty strange looking mob and puts up a pretty good fight. I use Deadly Boss Mobs for PvP and activated the dungeon mode before I started. It is very helpful, it tells you when to get out of the way and when to run, it tells you when the boss is getting ready to launch and attack and on who.

The item I am after in Halls of Reflection is the Orca-Hunter's Harpoon. That would be a significant improvement over the weapon I have now.

I had a really good time and am looking at other dungeons to do now. I was put off by dungeons way back on Gomorra. All the groups I would get into would dissolve before we even got close to the end and I figured what's the sense if you have to run a dungeon 10 times just to get through it once. I guess times have changed. I will have more detailed posts in the future with a run through of this dungeon, including boss names, after a couple more runs.

Daily Fishing - Dangerously Delicious 3/9/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, for her daily fishing quest she got... Can you guess? Dangerously Delicious again. None of the daily's changed from yesterday.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Wintergrasp, the combat zone. Once there I started fishing right by where you land. It didn't take me long again today to get the 10 Terrorfish I needed, less than 5 minutes. I didn't see any Horde while I was there again today.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and took the Terrorfish over to Marcia. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures in exchange for them. Today it had 10g64s61c, 3 Pygmy Oil, 2 Solid Gold Coins and 3 Deviate Fish in it. Not a great return on this one today.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 3/9/10

Today when Brieanna went to see what Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had for her daily cooking quest she got Mustard Dogs! again. Way to have some variety Blizzard...

As it has for the last couple days, this had me running around the grassy areas of Dalaran picking Wild Mustard. As usual I got my first 2 in the courtyard behind A Hero's Welcome, then I got the other 2 around Dalaran. Once I had all the Wild Mustard I needed I headed over to the bank to grab the Rhino Meat I needed to make the Rhino Dogs. I built a fire and cooked those up right in the bank.

I combined the Rhino Dogs with the Wild Mustard in the Empty Picnic Basket which makes a Mustard Dog Basket! and took that over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing. In exchange for that he gave me 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return on this daily for the third day in a row.

Daily Fishing - Dangerously Delicious 3/8/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Dangerously Delicious for Brieanna's daily fishing quest. This one has me going to Wintergrasp, the combat zone, to fish.

I took the flight path to the flight point in Wintergrasp and started fishing right there by where you land. There were a few other people there so I didn't expect any trouble and there was none. It took me less than 5 minutes to catch the 10 Terrorfish I needed. At that point the battle for Wintergrasp started so I joined up with that. Come for the fishing, stay for the fighting I always say. We won that one.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I turned the 10 Terrorfish over to her and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g28s46c, 3 Northsea Pearls, 2 Worthless Pieces of Violet Glass, 2 Deviate Fish and a Waterlogged Recipe.

I love getting the Waterlogged Recipe. It starts a really simple quest to take the recipe and give it to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it. Not a bad deal at all.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 3/8/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Mustard Dogs! for the daily cooking again. Today I did it on Wranngar and Brieanna.

This had me running around the grassy areas of Dalaran picking Wild Mustard. The first place I checked was the courtyard behind A Hero's Welcome, where they both got 2. I got the others around the city on each. Once I had all the Wild Mustard I needed I headed over to the bank for some Rhino Meat to make the Rhino Dogs I needed. I cooked those up right in the bank.

I combined the Rhino Dogs with the Wild Mustard in the Empty Picnic Basket to make a Mustard Dog Basket!. I took that over and delivered it to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing. He's a man who really likes his Mustard Dogs and usually pays pretty well.

Today he gave Wranngar 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 3 Old Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann today.

He gave Brieanna 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 4 Old Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul for Brieanna today either on this one.

I went to go buy another recipe for Brieanna with my awards and found that I already have all the Northrend recipes so I guess she is saving for her Chef's Hat now.

Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 3/7/10

Today when Brieanna went to see what Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had for her she got Jewel Of The Sewers. You don't even have to leave Dalaran for this one, it is right down in the sewers.

This had me heading down to my spot at The Black Market in the Dalaran sewers. I have a spot I always go to and have good luck at. I started fishing and got my piece of Corroded Jewelry in 9 casts. I usually get it in 10 casts or less so that was right on track. I got some other stuff too, it is like a medical waste dump down there, I got some empty vials, a couple drowned rats, the usual.

I took the Corroded Jewelry and headed back up to see Marcia. I turned the piece of Corroded Jewelry over to her and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g16s73c, 4 Pygmy Oil, 2 Solid Gold Coins and 2 Runic Mana Potions. Not the best day of fishing but the rewards from this usually aren't that great, I guess that's what makes the good stuff seem so great when you finally get it.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 3/7/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Mustard Dogs! for her.

This is a pretty simple one and the first place I looked for the Wild Mustard I needed was out in the courtyard behind A Hero's Welcome. I got 2 there. I got the other 2 I needed in the other grassy areas around Dalaran. Once I had 4 of those I headed over to the bank and grabbed some Rhino Meat to make the Rhino Dogs I needed. Once I had those cooked up I combined them in the Empty Picnic Basket, I was given when I got the quest, to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took that over and delivered it to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing. That is where the flight master is located. He was pretty happy to get his Mustard Dog Basket and gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad return on this one today.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 3/6/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for Brieanna. This is a simple one but requires a little travel time.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tudra. Once there I flew out to the icebergs you can see right off shore. I turned on fish finding and flew around until I found a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly. I fished that until I caught a Bloated Monsterbelly. I cut that open and got the Severed Arm I was after.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran. I gave her the severed arm and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g69s70c, a Siren's Tear, 2 Worthless Pieces of Orange Glass and a Waterlogged Recipe. Waterlogged Recipe starts a quest. The quest is to take it over to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it. All in all a pretty good day of fishing.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 3/6/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Sewer Stew for Brieanna. This is a pretty easy one and the only one you have to leave Dalaran for, assuming you keep some meat on hand for the daily's which you should.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. Today it actually took me a few minutes, there were 3 other people there picking at the same time. I finally got the 4 Carrots I needed and took the gate back up to Dalaran. I ran over and hit the bank next, I needed 4 pieces of Chilled Meat for the rest of the ingredients this calls for. I built a fire and cooked my Vegetable Stew right there in the bank.

I took the stew down to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. An Ok haul today. Personally I wouldn't eat anything called Sewer Stew at an Inn located in the sewers, but to each his own.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 3/4/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Blood Is Thicker for Brieanna. This is a pretty easy daily but has a little travel time involved.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland to kill a Marsh Caribou. That gets me covered in blood which is part of the quest. You can kill any of the animals the Druids protect to get covered in blood for this quest. From there it was back to the shore where I jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished in the blood pool until I caught the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy this quest calls for. That doesn't take long as you catch them 2 or 3 at a time.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I turned the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy over to her and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today it had 8g67s77c, a Glow Worm, a Tower Key, which I sold to a vendor for 16g66s66c, 2 Deviate Fish and 2 Runic Mana Potions in it. A borderline Ok day of fishing.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 3/4/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for Brieanna. This is a nice easy one that doesn't use a lot of my mats.

This had me running down into the sewers to pick Infused Mushrooms, the recipe calls for 4. I got them pretty quick, every spot I went to had one. From there it was back up top to the bank to grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat, the recipe calls for 2. Once I had all the mats I built a fire right there in the bank and cooked my meatloaf.

I took the meatloaf over and delivered it to Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore, he is right across the plaza from the bank. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Brieanna today.

Daily Fishing - Dangerously Delicious 3/3/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Dangerously Delicious for Brieanna's daily cooking quest. This one is pretty easy and has the potential to add quite a bit of excitement to you fishing trip. This one is done in Wintergrasp, the combat zone.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Wintergrasp. Once there I set to fishing right next to where you land. I used to fish in another area but have just as good luck here and the flight point is right there too so it is more convenient. It didn't take me long to get the 10 Terrorfish I was after, I didn't keep track but I would say less than 25 casts, and I was on my way back to see Marcia.

I turned the 10 Terrorfish over to Marcia and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today it had 6g46s53c, 4 Pygmy Oil and a Velociraptor Skull in it. Hardly worth the effort of flying all the way to Wintergrasp, going into the combat zone, and fishing for 5 minutes, but you take the good with the bad and I have already gotten some good rewards from this daily.
