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.

Saturday 1/31/09

I got on Wranngar for awhile tonight and did a couple daily's. I did the Dalaran cooking which was Cheese for Glowergold. I don't really like this one because you have to find 6 half full wine glasses around Dalaran and it always seems like there is a lot of people doing it. Takes awhile to get 6 of them. Then you have to go over to the cheese shop and wait for the cheese to spawn. When I had that done I handed it in and got my Dalaran Cooking Award and Small Spice Bag, which had 4 Northern Spices in it, and the 9g93s this quest pays. After that I went to see what Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, had for me. He had Bait Bandits so I flew over to my spot at the waterfall by Tuurem (52,37) in Terokkar Forest and got my Blackfin Darter on the 21st cast. Took awhile today. I handed that in and got my Bag of Fishing Treasures which had 6g55s66c, 4 Sharpened Fish Hooks and a Noble's Monocle in it. I got 11 gold for the Noble's Monocle. I finally found where to catch Deep Sea Monsterbelly when I was fishing for Moonglow Cuttlefish. There where schools everywhere and by the time you got done fishing one another one would show up. I was using my fish tracking skills which helped out a lot. I was getting schools of both the Moonglow Cuttlefish and Deep Sea Monsterbelly but mostly the Deep Sea Monsterbelly. I ended up getting 63 Deep Sea Monsterbelly and 22 Moonglow Cuttlefish. Didn't take me that long either as I was fishing schools. The loaction is off the shore from Unu'pe (Borean Tundra) at 32,66 among the icebergs. I was able to cook 2 recipes I had with those and got the 2nd part of the Northrend Gourmet done. Now I just have to cook 15 more recipes and I will get my chef title. First I have to get 15 more recipes lol. I did one Eye of the Storm after that which we won. It was a really close battle with each side holding 2 towers pretty much thoughout although they were not always the same 2 towers. We won by less than 200 points. I should be able to get on early tomorrow and want to do a bunch of dailys, I want to start making some gold again.
