Daily's 4/4/08

I am really liking these new daily's. I did them on Wranngar today with Axeelina. We found 3 new daily quests in The Shattered Sun Staging Area for even more gold :). We did 8 quests all together there and I made about 75 gold. The new quests are pretty easy once you figure them out. We ran the bombing quest with the 2 of us so we got that done no problem in 2 runs. One of the new quests involves flying out and setting fire to the sails on 3 boats then landing on a boat and killing 6 of the mobs on it. That one took us 2 runs too but it was the first time we did it. That one is pretty easy so I think with 2 of us, or even solo, we will be able to do it in one run in the future. One problem I did find with the 3 new quests we got was the enormous amount of people doing them at the same time. The mobs were scarce on some of them and there was some lag from the sheer volume of people there.

From there we went back to Shattarath City and Axeelina shared the quest Gaining the Advantage with me. This is a daily quest that pays out 16g39s! It took me about a half hour to do it. I was killing and skinning ravagers. I was getting the Nether Residue I needed for the quest from skinning and I was getting Ravager Flesh from the Ravagers, which I use to make Ravager Dog so it was a win-win situation. And profitable!

After that we went out to The Throne of Kil'Jaeden and did the 2 quests there for another 20 gold. Those 2 quests are pretty easy and don't take too much time, definitely worth doing every day for the 20 gold they pay. All in all tonight I made about 110 gold just doing daily quests.

Wranngar Battlegrounds 4/4/08

I finally got my daily AB done on Wranngar. It took me another 5 battles before we had a win. Axeelina was in the last one with me. Then we moved onto AV. I like that they added "Join as Group" as an option when joining AV. It makes it a lot easier to get into not only the same battle but the same group. The Alliance was having a better time in AV, we had 4 wins and 3 losses. The losses were mostly due to not working together towards a common goal. One loss started off with good intentions, stall horde at SH, but went bad when it turned into a turtle of SH. On the wins we rushed FWGY while a few dropped off to cap TP & IBT, in a couple we had ownership of IBGY too. Then we moved on to the East & West Frostwolf Towers and Drek after they capped. In all the ones we won we killed Galv and we also killed him in the ones we lost. Some people don't think Galv is worth getting but he is 62 honor and 100 reinforcements. In the games we lost we still got good honor, 316 from one. AV has evened out a lot in the latest patch and it is possible for the Alliance to win in there again. The strategy that seems to be working best right now is to rush FWGY, with a few dropping off to cap TP & IBT, then move on to FWRH and the towers. After TP & IBT cap those people can go and kill Galv for reinforcements and bonus honor then move up to help with Drek. I am getting closer to my next trinket, Battlemaster's Cruelty, 17,000 honor to go. That shouldn't take too much longer.

4/4/08

Well I didn't make it back into Arathi Basin last night to finish my daily so I will have to do it tonight. I started watching Peter Benchley's "Creature" and the next thing I knew it was too late. I would like to get this one out of the way and move on to the next one. At least it's not WSG :).
