Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage 4/13/09

Gomorra finally had Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage drop for him tonight. I had been wondering if it would ever drop, then after it did I did some thinking which I am prone to do on occasion. I leveled Gomorra's First Aid skill to 399 yesterday (In an attempt to get to 400) so I could use Heavy Frostweave Bandages, even if I couldn't make them, and I wondered if that had anything to do with it finally dropping. I went to Thottbot and did some reading and the general opinion seems to be that you have to have First Aid Skill of 390 or higher to get it to drop. That makes sense as I had been killing these same mobs for weeks without it dropping. I have heard people say that it only drops off dungeon mobs but I knew that wasn't true because it dropped for Wranngar outside a dungeon, in Zul'Drak around level 74, but he had 400 First Aid Skill at the time.

From what everyone is saying, if you have 390, or higher, First Aid Skill and you go to Rageclaw Den around 33,64, which is South of Light's Breach in Zul'drak, there is a pretty high drop rate for it, around 20%. This is a BoP book so the only way you are going to get it is if it drops for you. Because I now have it on both my characters that are in Northrend I will have to wait until I get my Deathknight Wrangar out there to see if the drop rate is really that high. If anyone heads out there after reading this post and gets it to drop, or has had it drop there, let us know how it worked out for you.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf 4/13/09

Today's daily cooking in Dalaran was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. This is a pretty easy quest any way you look at it. How long it takes is dependent on how many people are trying to do it at the same time. All you have to do is head down into the sewers (Underbelly) and pick 4 Infused Mushrooms. This can go really fast if no one to a couple people are doing it, it can take quite awhile if everyone is trying to do it. Today there weren't too many people trying to do it so it went pretty quick. I picked my Infused Mushroom's, cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat and delivered my Meatloaf's to Orton Bennet at Curiosities and Moore. He gave Gomorra 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad return for Gomorra. Wranngar got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a with 3 Small Spice BagNorthern Spices in it. Not a bad return for Wranngar either. As usual I spent Wranngar's award on Northern Spices for the guild bank.

Gomorra went and saw The Rokk, (61,15) in Shattrath, to see what he had today, but all he had for me was Manalicious which I already did. I am only doing these Shattrath daily cooking quests for the achievement, Kickin' It Up a Notch. There are 4 of them, I might have mistakenly reported 5 earlier, and I have 2 done. The sad part is I did this daily for over a year and didn't get any credit at all for it... I also have to cook all the Outlands recipes that I have cooked so many times before because I don't have credit for any of those either.

The Sons of Hodir daily's went pretty quick on both today. Of course on my way there on Wranngar I stopped off at K3 in the Storm Peaks and did Overstock. This is an easy daily that only takes a few minutes and pays around 13 gold. I try to never skip it. I need to doa couple more quests there before I can start doing it on Gomorra. I did all my usual daily's for The Sons of Hodir on Gomorra and Wranngar, Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter plus Feeding Arngrim on Wranngar. Gomorra became revered today, so tomorrow he will also start doing Feeding Arngrim. I am starting to make some pretty good gold every day off daily's.

My daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade went pretty quick today too, all in all it was a pretty quick day for daily's. Of couse I am only doing 2 on Gomorra, Leave Our Mark and Vile Like Fire!. Wranngar does those plus From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Shoot 'Em Up and Intelligence Gathering. I still didn't have enough Onslaught Intel Documents to turn in Intelligence Gathering today, I usually turn this one in every 5 days to a week or so. I don't go out of my way to get these documents because they can take as long to get as it takes to do the other 2 quests combined.
