Stratholme - Baron Rivendare's Steed - 6/27/09

I ran Thayah through Stratholme on Wranngar a couple times tonight, he wanted the Deathcharger's Reins from Baron Rivendare. We went in the service entrance, we both had the key. You need the key to go in the service entrance and it really cuts a lot of time off. Only one person needs to have the key.

We went and killed the mobs we needed to kill to take down the crystals which lifts the gate enabling you to go into Slaughter Square where Baron Rivendare is located. Once you are in there you have to kill all the mobs outside, then kill all the skeletons that come in, then kill his personal guard that comes out, then you can go in and kill him. You must make sure everyone is in the room before you attack him as the door closes as soon as he is attacked. It doesn't open again until he is dead. I am not sure if you get credit, making you able to loot, if you are outside the door when he dies. It didn't drop the first time so we reset the instance and tried again, no better luck the second time. The Deathchargers Reins has a very, very low drop rate. I have gone after it numerous times and have never seen it drop. I know it does because I see people riding it, but I think it is just luck.

Thayah got a lot of nice blue drops, most of which he couldn't use but could sell to a vendor for a little gold. My repair bill was over 11 gold for those 2 runs. We didn't have any deaths.

Daily Battleground - Eye of the Storm 6/27/09

My daily battleground today was Eye of the Storm, it took me 3 battles on Wranngar before I got a win.

The first battle everyone was more interested in the flag than towers, so we held one tower and ran the flag.... As usual that resulted in a loss, but a few people got achievements for running the flag, good for them....

In the second battle we didn't have as many flagtards but we still had too many. We had one tower the whole time, 2 towers on and off and a lot of flag running. Needless to say we lost that one too. The sad part is it will never end. They should make the flag achievements so you have to be holding 3 towers when you complete them in order to get the achievement, I think that would wake people up. Or at least 2 towers. I have seen the majority of our team at the flag when we didn't even have a tower.

In the third battle we had a much better group. We got 3 towers right off the bat then fought for BET the whole time, keeping the Horde occupied so we could run the flag. We only had one person at DR, one at FRR and there was no one at MT. Not the best strategy but it worked. We won that one by over 1,000 points.

Porcelain Bell 6/27/09

I got a Porcelain Bell in my Bag of Fishing Treasures today from the daily fishing quest. This is a pretty good reward because it sells to a vendor for 100 gold. I have gotten a few of these so far. The daily fishing today was Monsterbelly Appetite and the daily cooking was Mustard Dogs!. The Porcelian Bell was the only reward I got from either of them worth mentioning.

I did find a new place to look for Wild Mustard though, if you're Alliance. When you are in the Hero's Welcome you go to the right side of the bar to go into the kitchen, if you go to the left side of the bar you can go down a hallway and into a courtyard outside. I didn't even know it was there and I don't think too many other people know about it either. I got 2 Wild Mustard on each of my toons from there today, I didn't see anyone else out there. The hallway to the left of the bar is the only way to get there.
