Wranngar - Daily's 3/9/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and did the daily cooking quest which was Sewer Stew. I headed down to Crystalsong Forest and picked 4 Crystalsong Carrots. The picking went really fast today, there was no one there and I got my 4 in a couple minutes, it was just a matter of running around and picking them. I flew back up to Dalaran and grabbed 4 Chilled Meat to cook them up with. For those who don't know what Dalaran is, it used to be next to the Alterac Mountains in the Eastern Kingdom. I am not sure of all the lore but there was something to do with Wizards and Mages and, long story short, they uprooted and moved their city to Northrend where it hangs suspended over Crystalsong Forest. Back to the cooking, once I had my Sewer Stew cooked up I delivered it in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag that had 3 Northern Spices but not a second Dalaran Cooking Award in it. I took the award I had and got 10 more Northern Spices which I put in the guild bank. I now have 212 and it is time to start cooking. I was looking through my recipes today, there are so many that do the same thing but use different mats. I am trying to find the ones that are easiest to do (mats farming) but will cover all the different types of buff food I can make. I didn't do any fishing today, just wasn't in the mood, that is one of those things you need to be in the mood for or forget it.

Today's daily battleground was Strand of the Ancients. We won the first one I was in so I was able to complete my daily. We won pretty fast and easy, it took us 2 minutes 45 seconds to capture the Titan Portal and then the Horde ran the clock out on their attempt and only got through 2 gates. We seem to do pretty well in SoA, we usually win in the battles I have been in. It is one of those battlegrounds where you can attack more than one objective at a time to get your goal and either one will work (The gates in this instance). The Horde only really seems to operate well when they can get 3 or 4 on one action going, if they get spread out too thin they can't do that and I think that is what is happening in SoA. When I got out I turned in the daily and got 13g23s and 1241 bonus honor.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade today, they are: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. The only one that really takes me any time is Intelligence Gathering. Once again today I was there well after the other 2 quests were done, getting keys and opening chests. There is a very poor drop rate on the documents in the chests. These 6 quests get you around 80 gold. After that I did Overstock in the Storm Peaks. This is a fast easy quest that pays around 13 gold. I highly recommend it. I did my daily's for The Sons of Hodir. The daily's I do for them are: Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold and Polishing the Helm. As I was looking these up to get links I found 3 more that I am not doing, I will start doing those tomorrow. They are: Feeding Arngrim, Thrusting Hodir's Spear and Spy Hunter. Not sure how I missed these, must pick them up somewhere else, anyway I will look into it tomorrow. These quests pay 13g23s each like the Ebon Blade so I can make some good gold doing these every day.

I took the portal from Dalaran to Shattrath so I could go see if Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest had anything for me today. He did, he had Felblood Fillet which had me heading over to Pools of Aggonar (39,37) in Hellfire Peninsula to try and catch a Monstrous Felblood Snapper. This is the only daily fishing quest where I will click on the bobber when it bobs and get a empty loot window. None of the other daily fishing quests do that when I am fishing. I haven't tried the only other place you can do this one yet, Shadowmoon Valley (40,59), to see if it happens there too. It never happens when I am just fishing either, if I don't get anything it either tells me no fish were hooked or it got away. Anyway I had 4 of those today trying to get this one done. It took me 15 casts altogether to get my Monstrous Felblood Snapper, including the empty loot windows, but I finally got it done. I turned it back in to Old Man Barlo for a Bag of Fishing Treasures which today contained, 7g4s76c, 5 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Razor Sharp Fillet Knife that I sold to a vendor for 4g28s. I haven't gotten anything good from this daily lately so I am due, there are still a few good rewards to be had from this daily.
