Mustard Dogs!

Today's daily cooking quest in Dalaran was Mustard Dogs!. As usual I did this on both Wranngar and Gomorra as soon as I got on. If you're Alliance you get this one from Katherine Lee (41,65), in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome. That is where all the Alliance daily cooking quests start. If you're Horde you get it from Awilo Lon'gomba (70,38), inside The Filthy Animal next to Krasus' Landing.

This isn't a difficult quest but it can take awhile to get the 4 pieces of Wild Mustard you need if everyone is trying to do it at once, which usually seems to be the case. The Wild Mustard can be found growing in any of the grassy areas around Dalaran. They are small, yellow and, I think, hard to see. They are definitely hard to target. One area that seems to get overlooked is the grassy area around the flight point at Krasus' Landing. I usually have good luck there getting one or two. Another place is that little park place with the benches in the center of town. I also have good luck over in the corner by the Magus Commerce Exchange where you can go down into the Underbelly.

Once you have your 4 pieces of Wild Mustard you will need to combine them with 4 Rhino Dogs to make a Mustard Dog Basket!. You do this by right clicking on the supplied Empty Picnic Basket when you have the 4 Rhino Dogs and 4 Wild Mustard in your inventory. Once you have your Mustard Dog Basket in hand you can deliver it to Archmage Pentarus at Krasus' Landing for 9g93s, at least one Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag that can contain any, or all, of the following:

Northern Spices
Old Spices
Baby Spice
Dalaran Cooking Award
And if you don't have it, Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Cake. (This is a rare drop, 1.7%)

Remember to keep some Rhino Meat and Chilled Meat on hand, it makes these daily's go so much quicker.

Good Luck :)

Monsterbelly Appetite

We finally had a different daily for the daily fishing quest in Dalaran! Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for me. For this one you have to go and recover a fisherman's arm that was eaten by a Deep Sea Monsterbelly. The way you go about doing this is to catch Deep Sea Monsterbelly's until you catch a Bloated Monsterbelly. When you cut that open (loot it) you find the 'fisherman's arm'.

The Deep Sea Monsterbelly's can be found right off shore in Borean Tundra. Fly into Unu'pe then fly out to sea heading southeast. You can see some icebergs offshore and that is where you want to fish around. For those of you with coordinates it is around 30,66. You need 480+ fishing skill to catch the Monsterbelly's. They will be found in schools. If you have the 'fine art of fish finding' it is a lot easier because you can identify the schools on your mini map before you fly over to them. They are mixed in with Moonglow Cuttlefish schools so you can waste a little time checking out the wrong schools if you don't have gift of fish finding.

I got my Bloated Monsterbelly, which gave up the 'fisherman's arm', on the first cast on Gomorra and the second cast on Wranngar.

This quest does not get handed back in to the quest giver Marcia Chase, it get's handed in to Olisarra the Kind, the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange (36,37) in Dalaran. She is going to attempt to reunite the arm with the fisherman.

I turned the 'arms' in for a couple Bags of Fishing Treasures. Gom's had 8g55s60c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 3 Deviate Fish and 2 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass. Just to let you know how worthless they really are, I sold both of them to a vendor for a total of 10 copper. You take the good with the bad :). Still some good rewards to be had from this daily, I am looking forward to seeing what else I get. Wrann's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g19s39c, 4 Pygmy Oil and 5 Solid Gold Coins which I sold to a vendor for 5 gold. Now that was worth walking over to the vendor for. It only makes sense that a Solid Gold Coin would be worth a gold.

Yesterday I saw someone with a Jeweled Fishing Pole. It is one of the rewards you can get from the daily fishing quest in Dalaran and it's just what it sounds like, a fishing pole with jewels on it. It looks cool, and gives +30 to fishing skill, but it's definitely a chick pole. I'm not giving up my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole for it but I still want one just to add to my collection. Here is a screen shot of one I got off Thottbot.
