I'm sure you noticed the changes to the blog today. I added a left hand column and a header picture. I am not sure about the header picture and am looking for feedback. Any comments, positive or negative will be appreciated. I will be expanding more as time goes on so if there is anything you would like to see added just let me know and I will see what I can do. I would like to start a link exchange and will as soon as I can figure out how keep track of it.
Today my daily battleground was Eye of the Storm. I did it on Wranngar and it took me two battles to complete it. In the first battle we got beat pretty bad, We were just hitting the 1,000 mark when the Horde hit 2,000. It was a classic example of everyone trying for the flag instead of getting bases to bring it to. The Alliance had two bases for part of the battle but were down to one for most of it. In the second battle we were doing a lot better at the start, we got DR, MT and BET and were ahead by over 500 at the 1,000 mark. Then people started concentrating on the flag too much, which the Horde had 4 healers at, and we lost BET. Then we lost DR and got it back, same with MT. The Horde were running the flag the whole time. By the end we ended up winning 2000/1957 which was way too close for the lead we had in the beginning. Anyway all I needed was the win to complete my daily. I got 11g99s, 419 honor and 3 Eye of the Storm Mark of Honor which got mailed to me, I can't carry any more, as you can only have 100 at a time, and can't take them out of the mail so they will disappear in 24 hours. This weekend is AV's holiday weekend so I am staying away from there.
The daily cooking quest today was Soup for the Soul. I did it on both Wranngar and Gomorra. I got the meat I needed on Wranngar while I was doing Gaining the Advantage in Nagrand. Then all I had to do was fly over to the Ancestral Grounds, in Nagrand, and cook it up in the pot provided. I went back to Shattrath and turned it in. I picked Crate of Meat for my reward on both as was my plan for this week. I think starting Monday I will be picking the Barrel of Fish for my rewards on both and alternate between the two every other week. Wranngar's Crate of Meat had, 7 pieces of Clefthoof Meat, 6 Raptor Ribs and a Hunting Knife while Gomorra's had, 6 pieces of Buzzard Meat, 8 pieces of Clefthoof Meat and a pair of Patchwork Gloves in it. Of course they also both got the 7g59s that the daily cooking quest pays.
I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar in about 45 minutes today. There were not many people around so I had a lot of mobs to kill without much competition or waiting. I got The Air Strikes Must Continue done in one pass which is good, I hate having to take a second run for one or two mobs. I also did Gaining the Advantage on Wranngar by killing and skinning Clefthoof's in Nagrand at which time I was also collecting the meat I needed for the daily cooking quest on Wranngar and Gomorra. I really didn't spend too much time on daily's today but I was able to send over 225 gold to the bank.
The daily fishing quest today was Shrimpin' Ain't Easy. As it turns out it is pretty easy. I got it done in about 5 minutes or less on each character. I did it on both Wranngar and Gomorra. I had to fly over to Zangarmarsh and catch Bloated Barbed Gill Trout. Once I had about 15 of them I cut them open and took out the Giant Freshwater Shrimp inside. When I had 10 I flew back to Old Man Barlo and turned in. Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had, 7g36s51c, 2 Elixir's of Water Walking and a Gold Wedding Band which I could get 15 gold from a vendor for but I might put it on the auction house for 40 gold and see what happens. Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had, 6g73s8c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Piece of Polished Driftwood. There are still a few good fishing rewards I haven't got yet so I will keep plugging away at it. I also increased Wranngar's fishing skill to 341 today.
I got the daily cooking done just a little bit before the daily's rolled over for the day. It was Revenge is Tasty and I had to fly over to Skettis and kill a Monstrous Kaliri to get a wing. I got one on the first kill which was kind of nice and quick :). Once I had that I flew back to Shattrath and cooked it up with 3 Warp Burger's. That gave me Kaliri Stew. I handed that in and picked Crate of Meat for my reward. My crate contained, 8 Raptor Ribs, 6 pieces of Serpent Flesh and a List of Goods that I couldn't read because "Blood and water stains have made the list unreadable." I also got the 7g59s that the daily cooking quest pays.
I did the daily fishing on Gomorra today. It was Crocolisks in the City. I had to go to Stormwind City and fish in the Canal for a Baby Crocolisk. I got one in 5 or 6 casts. I went back to Shattrath, flew over to Old Man Barlo in Terokkar Forest and turned it in. Today was one of the day's that make it worthwhile to do the fishing quest, my Bag of Fishing Treasures contained, 6g98s73c, 2 Elixir of Water Walking, 2 Jaggal Pearl and Toothy's Bucket. You use Toothy's Bucket to summon and dismiss Toothy the baby crocolisk. This is a rare pet and the only way you can get it is through the daily fishing quest. I have attached a screen shot of Toothy.
