Fishing & Stuff 03/07/09

I did some fishing tonight on Wranngar. I did the daily fishing quest I picked up from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, which was Crocolisks in the City. I went back to Shattrath and took the portal to Stormwind then ran over to the canals to fish. I got my Baby Crocolisk on the 12th cast, didn't take too long today. I flew over to Nethergarde Keep then rode over to the portal and flew back to Terokkar Forest and handed it in. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g23s1c, 6 Sharpened Fish Hooks, which was kind of nice as I was running low, and a Broken Spyglass which I sold to a vendor for 2 gold. I did a bunch of fishing in the Underbelly in Dalaran tonight too. I got a lot of fish and some vials and old gnawed fish bones but not a Giant Sewer Rat in the bunch. I did drink a Underbelly Elixir, which was a half full bottle I found down there in the sewers, and it turned me into a wasp. I will keep plugging away at this achievement until I finally get my Giant Sewer Rat. I usually fish down there when I take a break from the battlegrounds.

Today's daily battleground was Strand of the Ancients. We won the second one I was in. In the first one we didn't have a very good group or weren't coordinating or something because it didn't go well at all. In the second battle we did a lot better, we got the Titan Portal within a couple minutes and then held the Horde off from even getting to the gates of the keep when it was there turn on offense. That battle went a lot better to say the least. I fought in one Eye of the Storm after that which we lost. We started off 6 to 15 and when it ended in our loss it was 10 to 15 so we never even stood a chance. Well, I guess the Horde have to win once in awhile and take what they can get.

I did my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade, They are: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. These are pretty easy and even Shoot 'Em Up and Intelligence Gathering went quick today. I don't use the Skeletal Gryphon they give you to do No Fly Zone, it is quicker and easier to just fly over there in Swift Flight Form and lure then down to a surface where I can switch to cat form and kill them. I did my daily in the Storm Peaks which is Overstock. This one only takes me a couple minutes and pays around 13 gold, I would recommend this as a daily for anyone who wants a little fast easy gold.

The daily cooking quest today was Convention at the Legerdemain. This one is pretty easy, I headed over to the guild bank and got 4 pieces of Chilled Meat which I cooked into 4 Northern Stew. Once I had my stew I headed over to the wine and cheese shop for a Jug of Wine. It took me a couple minutes of running upstairs and downstairs and even outside because I saw it spawn outside by the sample giver. I finally found one behind the counter where you come in. I delivered that to the Legerdemain in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag only had 4 Northern Spices in it. Normally I would call that a good day but I was expecting another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Today is the first day since I got my Chef title that I have not received 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards :(. I took my Dalaran cooking award and got 10 Northern Spices which I put in the guild bank giving me a total of 187. Hopefully tomorrow I will get 2 again and that will put me over 200.

Battlegrounds 3/6/09

The daily battleground today was Arathi Basin. I did it on Wranngar and we won the first one I was in. It didn't look like we were going to win at the start, we had the Stables, almost had the Lumber Mill and almost had the Gold Mine. Then we lost the Lumber Mill. We went along with only 2 nodes until we were almost 300 behind then we picked up the Farm. Meanwhile I was guarding the Gold Mine and had a few attacks I fought off with help from people who responded to my call of incoming. We put a lot of pressure on the Blacksmith and got most the Horde there then took the Lumber Mill. After that we lost the Farm which put us at 3 nodes to 2 for a little while but then we picked up the Blacksmith and lost the Gold Mine. That still left us at 3 to 2 until we picked up the Farm again. It went like that throughout the entire battle but we ended up winning by over 500 points. I fought in one Eye of the Storm after that, we didn't do so well in there. As a matter of fact I decided to call it a night on the battlegrounds after that one. We lost that one when the Horde 4 capped us pretty much from the start. Everyone was coming off the rock, everyone that didn't just go AFK, and trying to take the Mage Tower and the Dareni Ruins. ALL the Horde were on that side of the field, what they should have been going after was BET and FRR but me and another person were the only ones that did. I got FRR to clock over so at least the Horde weren't holding it when they won, so they didn't get a 4 cap :).

The daily cooking today was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf so I headed down into the Sewers to get some Infused Mushrooms. I got 4 of them pretty quick then ran over to the bank and got a couple Chilled Meat to cook it up with. I lit a fire outside the bank and cooked my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf then delivered it in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 3 Old Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award. I got another 20 Northern Spices with my 2 cooking awards and put them in the guild bank. Now I have 173.

I didn't do my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's today because I really didn't have the time but I did head over to the Storm Peaks to do Overstock. This quest is so fast and easy there is always time to do it. It only takes a couple minutes and pays around 13 gold. I will get back on all my daily's tomorrow night when I have a little more time and I have Sunday off so I should have a little more time to play. I am slowly restocking my gold supply.

Daily's 3/4/09

I only did daily's tonight, I didn't have too much time. I got on Wranngar and grabbed the daily cooking which was Convention at the Legerdemain. This is a pretty easy one, getting the jug of wine can be a pain sometimes but overall a pretty easy quest. I got the jug of wine pretty fast today then went to the guild bank and grabbed 4 Chilled Meat so I could make 4 Northern Stew to complete the quest. Once I had that cooked up I headed over the the Legerdemain and delivered it. For payment I received 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award. I have gotten 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards every day since I received my Chef's title. I now have 150 Northern Spices in the guild bank.

I did my daily quest, Overstock, in The Storm Peaks today. As usual this quest only took me a few minutes from the time I picked it up until I handed it back in for 12g96s. This is one I always try to do because it is so easy, goes so fast and pays so well. I did my 6 Knights of the Ebon Blade daily quests, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. You take a little bit of a beating doing these but altogether they pay around 80 gold, so well worth the time to do them.

Wranngar - Daily's 3/3/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and did the daily cooking in Dalaran which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I went down into the Underbelly and picked my 4 Infused Mushrooms then ran over to the bank and got a couple Chilled Meat to cook it up with. Once I had all the ingredients I made a fire outside the bank and cooked up some Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I delivered that and the guy gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. When I opened the Small Spice Bag I found 4 Northern Spices, 3 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award. Not a bad haul at all. Every day since I got my Chef title I have gotten 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, either 2 for the quest or one for the quest and one in the Small Spice Bag. I hope it keeps going that way. I have been getting 20 Northern Spices a day with my cooking awards so they are adding up quick. I have been cooking too, now that I am not afraid to use them lol.

The daily battleground today was Eye of the Storm. We won the first one I was in pretty easily. We had a 3 cap going for most of the battle and a 4 cap for about 7 seconds. I guess the Horde group was pretty bad but not that bad. I turned that in for 13g23s and 1241 honor. I fought in another battle but it wasn't the same group, not even close. We were behind when I got in then we got ahead and had 3 towers but everyone went flagtard and we lost our 3rd tower, lost our lead and eventually lost the battle.

I did my daily's for Knight's of the Ebon Blade. They are still paying 13g23s each so I keep plugging away at them for some spending money. I did From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. These go pretty fast with the exception of Intelligence Gathering which I swear I am going to stop doing every day. I usually end up running around after I have the other 2 in Onslaught Harbor done trying to get keys and open chests looking for documents. Not a really good drop rate on them. These 6 daily's get me around 80 gold a day. I also did Overstock in The Stormpeaks. This is a really easy quest that causes no equipment damage, only takes a couple minutes, and gets you around 13 gold, 12g96s to be exact.

Warsong Gulch 03/02/09

Today's daily battleground was Warsong Gulch. I did it on Wranngar and we won the second one I was in. We lost the first one 1/3 but won the second one 3/0. The first one was not for lack of trying. It was a battle the whole time but part of the problem was the people fighting in the middle. They weren't defending our flag, they weren't trying to get our flag back and they weren't trying to get the Horde flag. They were just fighting in the middle. While that was keeping the Horde occupied it was not enough because there were 2 rogues in their flagroom and every time someone tried to get the flag they got ghanked. We finally lost that one and I joined another. We did a lot better in that one, it took a little while but we owned them. That got my daily done which I turned in for 13g23s and 1241 extra honor which is a lot more than we got for winning the battle. I also fought in 5 Eye of the Storm battles, 3 wins and 2 losses. The major problem in most the battles was flagtards. They were more worried about getting the flag than they were about getting and holding some bases so we could win. I forgot to check but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it is EoS holiday weekend this weekend. The 3 we won were a struggle and usually we dominate in there so something is going on.

I did all my daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade today, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. I got about 80 gold for those which is good, I need to build up my reserves again. I only did one daily for The Kalu'ak and decided it is just not worth it. I did Preparing for the Worst and then wrote them off. I got what I was after from them and I am not going to continue to do their quests for 5 gold a piece.

The daily cooking quest today was Mustard Dogs!. This requires running around Dalaran looking for Wild Mustard. You need to pick 4 of them and that took me about 5 minutes. Then I needed to cook them up with 4 Rhino Dogs and put them in the basket provided. That presented the problem as I only had 3 pieces of rhino meat and no Rhino Dogs in the guild bank. I headed over to Sholazar Basin to hunt some rhino's for meat. I hunted for about 20 minutes and got 21 pieces which would allow me to complete the quest and also have a full stack of meat in the bank. I completed the quest and turned it in for 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, a Small Spice Bag and 9g93s. My Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices in it. I am not sure why I got 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards today as part of the payoff. I didn't yesterday, I got one plus one in the Small Spice Bag. Seems kind of odd. Maybe some quests pay more than others. Anyway I used my 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards to buy 20 more Northern Spices, now I have 117. They stack in 100's, I was curious about that.

I went and saw Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, to see what he had for me. Today he wanted me to head to Stormwind and take care of Crocolisks in the City for him. I portal'd to Stormwind and got to fishing in the canal outside the Mage District. I got a Baby Crocolisk on my 15th cast. I flew to Blasted Lands and then rode over to the Dark Portal and went through that. On the other side, in the Outlands, I flew to Shattrath then flew over and turned this in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. That had 7g21s1c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Mariner's Log. Not a great haul today but I can really use the Elixirs of Water Walking so it was worth it.

The Kalu'ak 03/01/09

I got on Wranngar today and did my daily quests for The Kalu'ak first. I wanted to become exalted with them so I could buy the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. I did my first 2 quests and became exalted so when I went to the 3rd quest I talked to the quartermaster there and got my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole for around 106 gold. I also picked up a Nurtured Penguin Egg for 10 gold. I did the last daily for The Kalu'ak and headed back to Dalaran to get some Spun Truesilver Fishing Line I had in the bank to put on my new fishing pole. With that installed I decided to fish up the ingredients for some Recipe: Fish Feast, 20 of them to be exact. For that I needed 40 Glacial Salmon, 40 Musselback Sculpin and 40 Nettlefish plus 20 Northern Spices. There is a lot that goes into making these, 120 fish and 20 Northern Spices for a stack of 20. I fished for awhile, I have spots where I go to fish schools of the fish I need and by the time I was done I ended up catching:

108 Pygmy Suckerfish
61 Musselback Sculpin
43 Nettlefish
43 Glacial Salmon
9 Frostweave Cloth
4 Barrelhead Goby
4 Bonescale Snapper

Quite a variety of stuff. I cooked up my 20 Fish Feast and had a little left over to stock the guild bank. I am pretty happy I finally got the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.

I did the daily cooking today which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf again. I went down into the Underbelly and got my 4 Infused Mushrooms fast then ran over to the bank and got a couple of chilled meat to cook them up with. I made my Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and delivered it in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. I hit the jackpot today when I opened my Small Spice Bag, it had 4 Northern Spices, 5 Old Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award. I used both my awards to buy Northern Spices which got me 20. I am pretty stocked up on them now, I have 92.

I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's today. I flew over to Onslaught Harbor and did From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone and Intelligence Gathering then turned them in and flew over and did Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. After I turned these in I headed over to The Stormpeaks and did Overstock. A really fast and easy quest that gets you around 13 gold for a couple minutes and no equipment damage.

I got back on a little later and did some more fishing and some battlegrounds. I was fishing in the Underbelly trying to do the achievement I Smell A Giant Rat. I fish on and off between battlegrounds and when I get a minute or two. I have not had much luck so far. Today I caught: 34 Sewer Carp, 16 Magic Eater, 4 Partially Eaten Fish, 4 Empty Vials 3 Drowned Rats and 2 Crystal Vials. I also found a Underbelly Elixir while I was down there. I did the daily fishing quest from Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest, which was The One That Got Away. It went pretty quick and I got my World's Largest Mudfish on the 8th cast. I turned that in and got 6g91s1c, 3 Elixir of Water Walking and a Piece of Polished Driftwood in my Bag of Fishing Treasures. I needed the Elixir of Water Walking as I use them fishing and was running low. I also talked to Mythrara some more today and they joined Blackmoor Coven. I moved them right up to member so they can use the guild bank for repairs and also get items out of the bank.

I did some Eye of the Storm battles today. I fought in 6 battles, 4 wins and 2 losses. A couple of the wins were close but the losses were really bad. Too many people going for the flag instead of trying to get towers. Too many people leaving our nodes completely unguarded. I got to BET which was empty and it hadn't even finished clocking all the way over to our side, they left as soon as the banners changed... That is why we are losing in there, that and the large numbers of AFK all of a sudden. You never used to see a lot of AFK in EoS before.

Wranngar 2/28/09

I was playing Wranngar tonight and got a nice surprise, I heard from someone who reads my blog. Their name was Mythrara and I only got to talk to them for a minute but it was really nice to hear from someone in the game that has read my blog. They are the first person to ever contact me. Hopefully I will hear more from them. They wanted to know where Gomorra was :). I was on Wranngar helping Salintu do Kibler's Exotic Pets to get a Worg Pup. We went into Blackrock Spire to get it and we had no problem. It is a level 58-60 instance and I was rounding up groups in cat form and we were just downing them. We killed a few bosses, got a few blues and a good time was had by all :).

I did the daily cooking today which was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf. I got my 4 Infused Mushrooms pretty quick and cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat to get my meatloaf. I delivered that and got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. My Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices in it today, not a bad haul. I spent my Dalaran Cooking Award on 10 more Northern Spices. That is all I have left to spend them on, I have all the recipes and that is the only other thing you can spend them on. The Northern Spices will start piling up fast now at, at least, 10 a day.

I did my daily quests for The Kalu'ak today, they are: Preparing for the Worst, Planning for the Future and The Way to His Heart.... Tomorrow I will become exalted with them and will be able to finally buy the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. And of course the Nurtured Penguin Egg. I only need about 700 more rep with them to become exalted. I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's tonight too. I really didn't want to but I need the gold after Gomorra spent all that gold on his mounts in Dalaran. The daily's I do for them are: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire! These don't take too long although a couple of them can be aggravating. I get around 80 gold from these 6. I also did Overstock in The Stormpeaks, a quick and easy quest that only takes a couple minutes and pays around 13 gold.

The daily battleground today was Strand of the Ancients. We won the first one I was in by a landslide. We got the relic or totem or whatever it is we are after with over 5 minutes left on the clock. When it came the Hordes turn to attack they only got through one gate before their time ran out. I turned that daily in for 13g23s and 1241 honor. I fought in 2 Eye of the Storm after that, one win and one loss. The first one I was in looked like a loss. We were behind for most of it and couldn't seem to get a third tower. We couldn't run the flag. It was looking like a definite loss when all of a sudden we started running the flag, got a third tower and ended up winning by less than 200 points. In the second battle we had someone who was preaching that "a 5 cap would get it over quickly" and "the Allaince never wins in EoS". First off there are not 5 objectives to cap in EoS and second the Alliance wins in there all the time, at least during the hours I play. Anyway we lost that one.

Chef Wranngar 2/27/09

I completed The Northrend Gourmet and Hail to the Chef achievements tonight as soon as I completed the daily cooking on Wranngar. Today's daily cooking was Cheese for Glowergold. Seems this one has been in the rotation a lot lately. Anyway I went around getting Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses and it took awhile today. Didn't really seem to be a lot of people doing it, it just seemed to be taking a long time for respawns. I finally got the 6 I needed and combined it on a platter with the Aged Dalaran Limburger I got in the wine and cheese shop. I delivered it in exchange for one Dalaran Cooking Award, a Small Spice Bag and 9g93s. Today my Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices in it. With the Dalaran Cooking Award I got today I was able to get the last recipe, Recipe: Worg Tartare, I needed to complete The Northrend Gourmet achievement which caused me to complete the Hail to the Chef achievement which gave me my Chef title. I will keep doing the daily cooking for the Northern Spices and Dalaran Cooking Awards which I can use to buy Northern Spices. I have about 75 Northern Spices in the guild bank so I am looking good on those.

I did my daily's for The Kalu'ak after I got the daily cooking out of the way. They didn't take me long and I am getting closer. I will get my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole when I get done finishing my daily's on Sunday. I skipped the Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's today, I hit exalted with them yesterday and got the chest piece I was after so I decided to take the day off. I did do Overstock in the Stormpeaks. This one only took a few minutes and got me 12g96s for my trouble.

Wranngar 2/26/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and got the daily cooking out of the way right away. It was Infused Mushroom Meatloaf so I went and got my Infused Mushrooms, cooked them up with a couple Chilled Meat, delivered it and got 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag, that had 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it, for my trouble. Not a bad haul today at all. I will get the 3rd Dalaran Cooking Award I need tomorrow, buy and cook up my last recipe for The Northrend Gourmet achievement and get my Chef title.

I did my 3 daily's for The Kalu'ak, they are: Preparing for the Worst, Planning for the Future and The Way to His Heart.... It will take me 3 more days to get exalted with them, I will almost be there in 2 days but almost doesn't count. I get 5 gold a piece for these daily's but it is the reputation I am after. After that I did my Knight of the Ebon Blade daily's. They are: From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone, Intelligence Gathering, Leave Our Mark, Shoot 'Em Up and Vile Like Fire!. I get 13g23s each for these Ebon Blade daily's which amounts to about 80 gold for all 6. I reached exalted with the Knights of the Ebon Blade today. I got Darkheart Chestguard from the quartermaster for 39 gold. You have to be exalted with them to purchase it. That was a nice deal. I did Overstock in The Stormpeaks too, this is another really easy quest that pays around 13 gold.

The daily battleground was Eye of the Storm today. It took me 3 to get a win. The first battle I was in we had a really bad group, too many flagtards. Everyone was going for the flag instead of towers. Needless to say we lost that one. The next group was a little better but not much. I guess the group was ok for the most part but we had 4 AFK. 4 out of 15 is pretty bad. Anyway we fought pretty hard but lost by a few hundred points anyway. In the third battle we did a lot better, we won that one and had a 3 cap going most of the time, we lost DR towards the end but I think we got it back before the battle ended. Anyway I had the win I needed and completed the daily.

Daily's 2/25/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and did all my usual daily's. I started off with the daily cooking which was Cheese for Glowergold much to my dismay. I ran around Dalaran looking for Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses until I had the 6 I needed. When I was in the cheese and wine shop looking for the Aged Dalaran Limburger and any Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses that might be laying around I found them sitting right next to each other so that saved a little time. Finally I had my 6 Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses, combined them with the Aged Dalaran Limburger on the supplied platter and delivered it to Glowergold. He gave me a Dalaran Cooking Award, 9g93s and a Small Spice Bag which only had 3 Northern Spices in it. I always feel like I get ripped off from this one after the time you have to put in to get the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses.When I checked to see how many Dalaran Cooking Awards I had, I thought I would have one or two, I had 3. That was a nice surprise so I got Recipe: Tracker Snacks and cooked some up. I am now one recipe away from my Chef's title. Yep, pretty exciting times.

I did my daily's for The Kalu'ak after I finished up the cooking. These are pretty easy and, although I don't make much gold off them, I get good rep from them, 500 each. I did Preparing for the Worst first. This is where I fly around a small area and pick up 8 wicker baskets of supplies and deliver them back to the quest giver. A pretty easy quest. It pays 5 gold. Then I head over and do Planning for the Future. This involves going up into the hills and kidnapping these wolf tykes. I do it in flight form which I can not be stunned in and just let the adults beat on me while I pick up the tykes. Once I have them I just fly straight up and break aggro. I turn them over to the quest giver and collect 5 gold and 500 rep. From there I head over to Howling Fjord for The Way to His Heart.... I have to go out and get some Tasty Reef Fish and then lure a Bull Sea Lion over to a Cow Sea Lion so they can find true love. Happens pretty quick so you don't have to hang around and wait. I turn this one into the quest giver for 5 gold and 500 rep. Then it's off to The Stormpeaks to do Overstock. A quick easy quest that gives you around 13 gold. I did my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's last. They didn't take me long tonight, even shooting down the Drakes and their riders went pretty fast. I will be exalted with them tomorrow and get my chest piece. I make around 80 gold plus whatever I sell the drops for from the Ebon Blade daily's.

Daily's Wranngar 2/24/09

I got on Wranngar tonight and did the daily cooking which was Mustard Dogs!. This can be a really easy one if not too many people are doing it or a really hard one if everyone is trying to do it at the same time. If everyone is trying to do it at the same time I usually go and do my other daily's and then come back to it. Today was an easy day and I got my 4 Wild Mustard pretty quick. I went to the bank and grabbed 4 Rhino Dogs which I cooked up with the Wild Mustard into a Mustard Dog Basket!. I headed off to deliver it to Archmage Pentarus by the flight master in Dalaran but got distracted, went right by him with his big yellow ? over his head, and took off to do my daily's for The Kalu'ak. I ended up turning it in when I got back from doing all my daily's. I got my usual 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. Today my Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 5 Old Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award. I went to the cooking vendor to get the next recipe in my The Northrend Gourmet Achievement which I thought was Recipe: Spiced Wyrm Burger but when I went to buy it it said I already knew it. I checked in my recipe list and sure enough there it was. It was one of the first ones I got and, apparently, never cooked. I ended up getting the next one in the list which was Recipe: Spicy Fried Herring. I cooked them both up and now I am only 2 recipes away from my chef title. That turned out to be a nice surprise.

I got my daily's for The Kalu'ak done pretty quick today, got all the drops I needed really fast. I am now 14310/21000 reputation with them so it won't be much longer until I get the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. I went over to K3 in The Stormpeaks and did Overstock. As usual this quest only took me a few minutes and I collected my 13 gold and was on my way. I headed to Icecrown to do my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's from there. I got those done pretty fast too, everything was dropping like clockwork and I breezed right through them. There are 6 that I do for them:

From Their Corpses, Rise!
No Fly Zone
Intelligence Gathering
Leave Our Mark
Shoot 'Em Up
Vile Like Fire!


I get around 80 gold for all 6 of them. Today I forgot to do Shoot 'Em Up and had to go back and do it so that took me a few extra minutes. My reputation with the Knights of the Ebon Blade is 19045/21000. I am pretty close to being exalted with them too. It will not be tomorrow, it will be the next day. Then a few days after that I will be exalted with The Kalu'ak.

Wranngar Daily's 2/23/09

I hopped on Wranngar today before the daily's rolled over and I didn't have anything to do. I could have worked on leveling Gomorra but didn't feel like it. I ended up doing 2 Eye of the Storm battles, both losses. I was in some pretty bad groups. It was definitely the wrong time of the day to be fighting in there. Then I saw in World Defense that Auberdine was under attack so I headed over there to see if there was some Horde I could kill. It was still under attack as I was flying in and could see the place but by the time I landed they were either gone or dead. Either way they weren't around anymore.

When the daily's finally rolled over I headed to do the Kalu'ak first because I was in the Harbor where you first arrive in Northrend on the boat. I did my 3 daily's for them then headed over to K3 in the Stormpeaks and did Overstock. That's a really easy daily that gets you around 13 gold for a few minutes work. I headed off to do my Knights of the Ebon Blade daily's from there. I grabbed the 6 quests I do for them and got them done in no time. All in all all my daily's went pretty quick today. I get around 80 gold for the quests plus drops from the Ebon Knights daily's.

The daily cooking quest was Sewer Stew so I headed down into Crystalsong Forest and got my 4 Crystalsong Carrots which I cooked up with 4 Chilled Meat to make my Sewer Stew. I delivered that in return for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag which had 4 Northern Spices in it today. Not a bad haul I guess, it could be worse as I have seen over the last few days.
