Jewel of the Sewers - Daily Fishing 12/30/09

Today when Wranngar went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she gave him Jewel Of The Sewers for his daily fishing quest. This is the only daily fishing quest you don't have to leave Dalaran to do.

I headed to the Black Market in the sewers to fish for the piece of Corroded Jewelry this quest is looking for. I always have good luck there, usually catching one in less than 10 casts. Today was no exception, I got my Corroded Jewelry on the 8th cast. I also got some garbage fish and a couple vials in the process, it is like a medical waste dump down there.

I took the Corroded Jewelry back to Marcia and exchanged it for a Bag of Fishing Treasures which today had 7g55s39c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Diamond-tipped Cane in it. Not a great return on this one today. I sent the Elixirs of Water Walking to Brieanna though as I have had a couple situations where I wished I had them on her in the past.

Daily Cooking - Infused Mushroom Meatloaf 12/30/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for Wranngar's daily cooking quest. This is an easy one that doesn't use too many mats.

This one had me heading down into the sewers below Dalaran to pick Infused Mushrooms. This quest calls for 4 of them. I saw other people picking them while I was doing it but I had no problem getting the 4 I needed quickly. When I had those I headed over to the bank to grab 2 pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with. I built a fire right outside the bank and cooked my meatloaf.

With meatloaf in hand I headed over to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad haul today. I really need the spices, I have less than 200 in the bank.

Monsterbelly Appetite - Daily Fishing 12/29/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for Wranngar. At least it wasn't Blood Is Thicker again but you fly to the same flight point so it takes the same amount of time anyway.

This one had me taking the flight path to Un'upe then flying out to sea in a southeasterly direction to the icebergs out there. Once there I located a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly using fish finding. Once you learn fish finding it is found in the tracking menu attached to your mini-map. I fished that until I caught a Bloated Monsterbelly, which I opened up to find the Severed Arm I need for this quest.

I took the Severed Arm back to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran, and exchanged it for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g93s55c, a Glow Worm and 3 Pieces of Worthless Orange Glass. Not a great haul today, better luck tomorrow hopefully.

Brieanna - Level 54 12/29/09

I worked on Brieanna some more today and got her to level 54. She is moving along well.

I leveled in Winterspring, I did a bunch of quests there and probably have a couple more days there before I am done. This is a pretty nice area to level/quest in. The quests aren't too hard to solo and the mobs are spread out so you don't aggro 4 or 5 trying to kill 1. That only happened once tonight, I was killing a Chillwind Ravager when two more came over to help. The one I was killing was level 58, 5 levels higher than me, and the 2 that joined in were 57 and 58. I got 2 of them down before the last one got me. If I had popped a health pot instead of mana I might have made it, but I was out of mana at the time and it seemed like the thing to do. If I could have gotten it off me for a few seconds I could have used a bandage, I have Heavy Netherweave bandages that heal 3400 health over 8 seconds, but damage taken breaks the channel.

I went to Ironforge after I leveled so I could train and see if there were any equipment upgrades in the auction house I could use. There was only a pair of boots which I got. There are 2 nice epic daggers in there but they are 190 and 200 gold each. I can't see spending 400 gold on something I will throw away in another 8-10 levels. The ones I have now are level 39 but are doing me well enough as I try not to let anything get close enough to me that I have to use them. Brieanna dual wields daggers and they are pretty fast, their speed is 1.40.

Daily Cooking - Convention at the Legerdemain 12/29/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for Wranngar again. I hate it when it gets stuck on this one, it eats up a lot of supplies fast. It takes 4 Chilled Meat each time.

This one had me running to the bank to grab 4 Chilled Meat to make the 4 Northern Stew this one calls for. I made a fire and cooked it up right outside the bank. From there I was off to One More Glass to get a Jug of Wine. I found it right inside the door today. One thing I can say about this one, it's quick.

I took the wine and stew over to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it, not a bad haul today.

Brieanna - Level 53 12/28/09

I worked on Brieanna some more today and got her to level 53.

Everything I had in Western Plaguelands was red and too hard for me to solo so I headed over to Felwood, in Kalimdor, to see if there was anything there for me. I hit the jackpot there, there were a lot of quests for me to do there giving a lot of good XP. I did everything I could get in Felwood and worked my way into Winterspring. I am currently questing there and had to drop a few older quests to take new ones because my quest log was full. I will be there for a day or two before heading back to the Plaguelands for the final run until I am 58 and can head to Outlands. At that time I will drop all the quests I have and start fresh in Outlands.

Hunting with Gomorra 12/28/09

I decided to wake Gomorra up and take him out hunting. It's been awhile since I played him, so I dusted off his robes and headed to Sholazar Basin to hunt for Chilled Meat. I get this from the Mangal Crocolisks, Dreadsabers and Longneck Grazers. I hunted for a little while and ended up with 38 pieces of Chilled Meat and 3 pieces of Rhino Meat from Rhino's that got too close or looked at me wrong. Not a bad day of hunting. That gave me over 2 stacks of Chilled Meat in the bank and around 15 pieces of Rhino Meat.

I did the daily cooking on Gom while I was logged on. It was still Convention at the Legerdemain which had me running to the bank for 4 fresh pieces of Chilled Meat. Today I made a fire right in the middle of the bank which I used to cook my Northern Stew. I took that over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop there in Dalaran, and grabbed a Jug of Wine. I found it outside again right behind the woman with the table set up.

I took those over to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain and exchanged them for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices in it. I have said it before and I will say it again, but probably not do it, I should do the daily cooking on Gom every day for the Northern Spices.

Skinning as a Profession 12/27/09

One of Bireanna's primary professions is Skinning. Yesterday she put some leather on the auction house she got from skinning, 2 stacks of thick leather and 4 stacks of heavy leather. Skinning is a money maker, especially if you don't have a profession that uses it and you are free to sell all you skin. The leather she sold yesterday made her 70g60s. Altogether she has made over 350 gold from skinning and another 80 or so from Herbalism. That is in the last week. At this point this is paying for gear upgrades and training. Once she hits 80 it will be all profit. When she gets to the Outlands she will really start making money, the higher the level of the animal you skin, the more the leather sells for.

Herbalism is her other profession, this is a money maker too. I still need to work on getting that leveled up. I was at a point where I could pick most things I found where I was questing but have passed that now and can not pick anything where I am currently questing. I will have to go back and work on leveling that up so I can pick as I go along questing. The reason this is harder to level than skinning is because you have to find Herbs as you come across them while you can skin almost any animal you kill.

Blood is Thicker - Daily Fishing 12/27/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Blood Is Thicker for me again. This is another easy one, but takes some travel time.

This one had me taking the flight path to Un'upe. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou. I didn't have to go far, you start seeing them right at the snow line. I killed one which covered me in blood. Covered in blood, I flew back to shore and jumped in creating a blood pool. I fished that until I had my 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. That was 2 catches, I got 3 in my first catch and 2 in my second.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I turned the Bloodtooth Frenzy over to her in exchange for a Bag of Fishing Treasures which today had 9g95s29c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking, a Tower Key that I sold to a vendor for 16g66s66c and 2 Deviate Fish in it. Not a bad haul today with the Tower Key.

Brieanna - Level 51 12/27/09

I worked on Brieanna for a little while today and got her to level 51. I was questing in Un'Goro Crater for the most part and that's where she hit 51.

I have almost all the quests done that I can get in Un'Goro Crater. I have moved on to the Plaguelands and am questing there now. I am over half way through level 51 so I will hit 52 tomorrow, maybe even 53 depending on how much time I put into it.

Daily Cooking - Convention at the Legerdemain 12/27/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for me. This is an easy one but eats up mats. I only have 3 pieces of Chilled Meat left now, I will have to go hunting tomorrow.

This one had me heading over to the bank for 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to make 4 Northern Stew. I grabbed that and cooked it up right outside the bank at a fire I built. With my stew in hand I headed over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran, for a Jug of Wine. I found it outside today by the woman with the table set up.

I took that over to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. I guess I have to look at the extra award as 10 Northern Spices so that makes it a pretty good haul.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 12/26/09

Today when I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, for my daily cooking she had Sewer Stew for me.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest then flying across the river to the ruins to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. There was no one there and I got the 4 I needed quick. I took the gate back up to Dalaran and headed over to the bank for 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with, then I started a fire outside the bank and cooked my stew.

I took that 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 and 3 Old Spices in it. An ok haul today. I have 112 Dalaran Cooking Awards now and I will need to spend some on more Northern Spices soon. You get 10 spices for each award.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 12/26/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Blood Is Thicker for my daily. This is an easy one if a little time consuming for the travel and all.

I took the flight path out of Dalaran heading to Un'upe. I did a few battlegrounds on the way but eventually got there. Once I landed I headed inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. If you head straight inland that is the first thing you will find that will cover you in blood. They are not very far inland, just at the snow line. I killed one and got covered in blood, then flew back to shore and jumped in. That washed the blood off me and created a blood pool for me to fish in. I fished that until I caught the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy this one calls for.

I flew back to Dalaran and handed those in to Marcia for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g42s72c, 4 Pygmy Oil and a Sealed Vial of Poison. I love getting a Sealed Vial of Poison in my bag of fishing treasures, it starts a quest to deliver it to Alchemist Cinesra in The Black Market. That takes you less than a minute from Marcia and pays 13g23s, you can't beat that.

Brieanna - Level 50 12/26/09

I quested on Brieanna some more tonight and got her to level 50. I was questing in Un'Goro Crater when I hit 50 and had to go back to Ironforge to train, I also had some stuff I wanted to put on the auction house. While I was there training I got a quest from the Hunter Trainer that had me going to Azshara to do a few quests, that ate up quite a bit of time.

I am over half way through level 50 now and will hit 51, maybe 52 tomorrow depending on how much time I have. I put a bunch of leather on the auction house today and made over 60 gold off it. I will need to work on my Herbing some more, maybe I will do that tomorrow too.

There was a lot of action in Ironforge today, the Horde were trying to kill the King to get the achievement For The Horde!. That gets them a Black War Bear mount. Every time I saw in World Defense that Ironforge was under attack I would log over to Wranngar, who I had parked right outside the King's room, and kill some Horde. I got 11 kills altogether. I got there too late to get any kills most the time as it takes 20 seconds to log out if you are not in an Inn or city.

Brieanna - Level 49 12/25/09

Today I quested all over the place on Brieanna. I did one in The Hinterlands, one in Burning Steeps, two in Tanaris, and a few in Un'Goro Crater. Those had me running all over the place, I went to Darnassus, The Hinterlands and The Blasted Lands to complete quests.

She is moving along at a good pace and I should be in Outlands pretty soon. Her skinning is up to 335 although her Herbalism is still only 178, I will have to work on that. I would like to be able to train for Grand Master Skinning before I get to Outlands.

All the quests I did and have in Un'Goro Crater are orange and red so I will get some good XP from them. I have a lot of them too so I will be there for a couple days probably.

Monsterbelly Appetite - Daily Fishing 12/25/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for me. This is an easy one if a little time consuming.

This had me taking the flight path to Un'upe. Once there I found a school of Borean Man O' War right on the shore so I fished that out, alway looking for those to make Black Jelly. Then I flew out to sea in a southeasterly direction until I came to the icebergs out there. I flew around until I found a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly and fished in that until I caught a Bloated Monsterbelly. That contains the Severed Arm this quest calls for. I opened it up and got the Severed Arm out then hearthed back to Dalaran to go see Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange. She is going to attempt to reattach the arm to the fisherman who lost it. Good luck there...

She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures which today had 8g6s26c, a Glow Worm and a Diamond-tipped Cane. really not worth flying all the way out to Un'upe for but you never know.

Daily Cooking - Convention at the Legerdemain 12/25/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for me.

This had me running over to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Chilled Meat, to make the 4 Northern Stew this calls for, then heading over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop, to grab a Jug of Wine.

With those in hand I headed over to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, where I exchanged them for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices, 3 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul today.

Brieanna - Level 45 12/23/09

I worked on Brieanna some more tonight and got her to level 45. I wanted to get her to level 45 before Christmas so I could do Metzen the Reindeer, which I did tonight. I have less than 3 bars to 46 now.

I finished up all the quests I could solo in Hinterlands, one left, then went back to Tanaris and got a couple more there. I did one quest that was orange but got less XP than one of the yellow ones I did, I don't understand that... I hit 44 in Tanaris while questing.

Right now I am questing in Searing Gorge, I started there after Tanaris while I was still 44, that is where I leveled to 45. The mobs I was killing at level 44 were level 47-49, orange and red to me, so I was getting good XP off the kills too. I have a few more quests there, mostly orange, that should get me to 46 easily. I will get more as I go along too. I want to do the one that gets me the Key to Searing Gorge, that makes things a lot easier.

Brieanna - Level 43 12/22/09

Brieanna is coming right along, I got her up to level 43 today. I finished up everything in Stranglethorn Vale and Alterac Mountains then moved on to Tanaris. I did all the quests I could there, with the exception of the dungeon which I will go back to, then went to the Hinterlands and quested for a while. I still have a few more quests to do there which will hopefully get me to 45, then I might check out the Swamp of Sorrows to see if they have anything for me. I am still too low to move into the Plague Lands.

Brieanna - Level 40 Now 12/21/09

I did a lot of questing on Brieanna today and got her to level 40. Level 40 is kind of a big deal. At level 40 Hunters get to switch from leather gear to Mail. It is also when you get your 'epic' 100% mount. You used to get your 60% mount at 40 and your 100% at 60 but they dropped them 20 levels each. I also made her a Christmas outfit to wear around town. It gives absolutely no protection so it is definitely something to wear when not in combat lol.

I cleaned up a lot of quests in Arathi Highlands and Stranglethorn Vale. I really like playing a Hunter, it seems to be pretty simple so far. I am having no problem soloing yellow and orange quests. I haven't tried soloing a red yet because I didn't have any in the ones I cleaned up. Maybe tomorrow I will try one of those. I was able to get her up 3 levels, from 37 to 40, pretty quickly.

I also worked on my Herbalism and have that up to 158 so that is coming along well. I can pick most of the Herbs I am finding while I am questing which is good, I hate having to go back and level up a profession. I have made over 80 gold in the last 2 days with her professions, Skinning and Herbalism. That is pretty good for a level 40 that just started Herbing yesterday I think.

Daily Cooking - Infused Mushroom Meatloaf 12/21/09

Today I had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for my daily cooking.

This had me heading down into the sewers again to pick Infused Mushrooms. These spawn in random locations throughout the Underbelly. I got the 4 I needed pretty quick but not as fast as usual, I saw a few people doing it at the same time. When I had my 4 I headed up to the bank to grab a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with. I built a fire outside the bank and cooked my meatloaf.

With meatloaf in hand I went to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return on this one today, and I really need the spices.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 12/20/09

At least the daily fishing was different today when I picked it up from Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran. Today she had Blood Is Thicker for me.

This one had me taking the flight path to Unu'pe. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. Killing that covered me in blood so I flew back to shore and jumped in to wash the blood off me and make a blood pool. I fished the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and turned those in to Marcia. For that she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures with 7g47s45c, a Glow Worm, 4 Deviate Fish and a Sealed Vial of Poison. I love getting a Sealed Vial of Poison.

Sealed Vial of Poison starts a quest. I took the quest, which is to deliver the poison to Alchemist Cinesra in The Black Market. I did that and got 13g23s for a minutes effort, not a bad deal.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 12/20/09

Today my daily cooking was Convention at the Legerdemain again. I hate it when it gets stuck on this one, it eats up my stock of Chilled Meat pretty fast.

I ran over to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to make the Northern Stew this one calls for then ran over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop, to grab a Jug of Wine. I found it downstairs today. This one is pretty fast and easy, just uses a lot of mats.

I took the stew and wine over to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices and 5 Old Spices in it. Not a bad haul today.

Breianna 12/20/09

I played Brieanna for a while tonight, I was working on her Herbalism. She has Skinning and Herbalism for professions. Her skinning is at 277 which is right on track for where she's questing but her Herbalism was at 1.

I started picking herbs in Dun Morogh where I was getting Silverleaf, Peacebloom and Earthroot. I had to go see the Herbalism Trainer at level 75 to train to 150. As I leveled up I moved into Loc Modan where I was getting Silverleaf, Peacebloom, Earthroot, Mageroyal, Briarthorn, which seems to come with Swiftthistle, and Bruiseweed. I got everything I could in Loc Modan and moved into the Wetlands. In the Wetlands I could pick Briarthorn, Swiftthistle and Bruiseweed but I couldn't pick the Liferoot and Wild Steelbloom there. I am at 107 now in Herbalism and need to get to 150 before I can pick those.

I looked on Thottbot and saw that I can pick Bruiseweed and Briarthorn in Duskwood so I headed there before I logged off.

When my bags got full I hit the auction house and put all the herbs I collected on there. I should make about 10 gold from them. I can't use them, Brieanna is a gatherer, she will sell all the leather and herbs she gets, she's a money maker.

Daily Cooking - Convention at the Legerdemain 12/19/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for me. This is another pretty easy one.

This one had me running over to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to make the Northern Stew this one calls for. I got those and cooked them up right outside the bank at a fire someone had made. Then I headed over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran, and got a Jug of Wine.

I took those over to the Legerdemain and gave them to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender, in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices in it. An ok haul I guess, I would have liked more spices or another award though.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 12/19/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for me. I did my daily battleground while I was in route flying to Unu'pe so I killed 2 birds with one stone. At least it wasn't The Ghostfish like it had been for the last few days.

This daily had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe. From Unu'pe I flew out to sea in a southeasterly direction until I got to the icebergs you can see from shore. I guess you could even swim out to them if you wanted to. I found a Monsterbelly school and fished in it until I got a Bloated Monsterbelly. I cut that open and, sure enough, there was a Severed Arm inside. 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. For those who don't know what hearthing is, every character gets a hearthstone. You set that to any Inn you choose and you can hearth back there just by right clicking on it. Naturally I have mine set to an Inn in Dalaran so I can use the portals to go to any major city.

Anyway I gave Olisarra the Kind the Severed Arm and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today it had 9g23s38c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 4 Solid Gold Coins and 4 Deviate Fish in it. Not a great haul on this one at all. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
