Battlegrounds 2/8/09

The daily battleground today was WSG. I skipped it, I hate WSG. I really need to get in there though and work on Wranngar's rep. I fought in 20 Eye of the Storm and 2 Arathi Battles instead. We lost both the AB battles but we did better in EoS, winning 15 and losing 5. We had a bunch of 4 caps and all the rest were three caps and flag running. In the 5 losses we had bad groups. They would leave a node undefended so 14 of them could go after the flag. I got the Achievement The Perfect Storm today when we won one of the battles 2000/0. The AB battles I was in were just bad groups, they were everywhere and not defending nodes. Nodes were being left empty before they even capped.

I did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I headed down into the sewers in search of 4 Infused Mushrooms. I got them really fast, it was like no one was doing it. I cooked them up with 2 Chilled Meat and delivered it in return for a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices, 3 Old Spices and 5 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul today.

I've been doing some fishing in the Underbelly, in the sewers under Dalaran, trying to catch a Giant Sewer Rat for the I Smell A Giant Rat Achievement. It is not a common drop so it could take awhile to get it. In the last couple days I have caught a lot of things down in the sewers, I have caught:

92 Sewer Carp
35 Magic Eater
13 Empty Vial
6 Partially Eaten Fish
8 Drowned Rat
5 Leaded Vial
1 Imbued Vial
1 Crystal Vial
1 Enchanted Vial

Not a Giant Sewer Rat in the bunch though. I will keep plugging away at this when I have a little extra time, maybe when the battleground queues get too long. I have been putting the vials and Magic Eaters in the guild bank for anyone who wants or can use them. I have 4 tabs and they are almost full. I have a tendency to be a pack rat. There is a lot of level 55-80 buff food in there, more than a tab full. It is nice that I kept it stocked up because now that I am leveling Gomorra to 80 I have a lot of buff food for him. Some he can't eat until 75 but a lot of it he can.

Gomorra 2/07/09

I took Gomorra out of retirement tonight and got him Spec'd again. After that I went to Northrend and got him Grandmaster Cooking, Grandmaster Fishing, Grandmaster First Aid and Grandmaster Tailoring. I got his tailoring up to 389 today too. I did some quests there and got around 5 bars of experience. All his experience is rested and I am sure it will all be rested all the way through to 80 because I am not going to rush him. I need to get a port to Dalaran so I can get him the Reins of the Armored Brown Bear and Armored Snowy Gryphon mounts. I can't fly in Northrend yet but I will get the flying mount anyway because I can use it in Outlands until then.

Saturday 2/07/09

I got on Wranngar for awhile and did my daily cooking in Dalaran. It was Convention at the Legerdemain again. I ran around and got the 6 half full wine glasses I needed then went to the bank and got the Chilled Meat I needed to make 4 Northern Stew. Once I had all the I delivered it and got my Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag contained 6 Northern Spices today. Not a bad haul. I also did the Shattrath daily cooking from The Rokk, (61,15). It was Revenge is Tasty and I got the wing I needed on my second kill. I cooked that up with 3 Warp Burgers and turned it in. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward and got 6 Figluster's Mudfish, 4 Zangarian Sporefish and a Hoop Earring. I don't know why I still bother doing this one. I grabbed the daily fishing from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, which was Felblood Fillet and did that at the same time I was doing the cooking daily. I flew over to my spot in Shadowmoon Valley (40,59) and got my Monstrous Felblood Snapper on the second cast. I turned that in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures and got Spun Truesilver Fishing Line (that's 4 in the banks now), 6 Sharpened Fish Hooks and an Ancient Coin. It was the first time I got one of those and I sold it to a vendor for 25 gold.

I didn't do my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's today, just didn't feel like it. I did do Overstock though and got around 13 gold for that. I will pick these up a little later, I get a little burned out when I do them for too many day's in a row.

I fought in a few battlegrounds tonight. Strand of the Ancients was the daily and I got that done on the second one I was in. I went on to fight in 2 Eye of the Storm, one win one loss and 4 Arathi Basin, 2 wins and 2 losses. The Alliance wasn't doing as good tonight in EoS as they have been, hopefully this is a temporary setback. I am getting close to having enough honor to get my next piece of PvP gear, I think it will be a ring. Both my rings are level 70 while everything else is closer to 80.
