Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 3/29/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, I got Blood Is Thicker for the daily fishing. I did this one on Gomorra and Brieanna.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew straight inland until I spotted a Marsh Caribou. I quickly killed that which got me covered in blood. They seem to have fixed the glitch that was going on with this daily, you now don't need to just about beat it to death with your bare hands to get covered in blood. Covered in blood I flew back to the shore and jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished in the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy which was only 2 catches as you get 2 or 3 in a catch.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia and traded her the Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g67s10c, a Glow Worm and a Velociraptor Skull in it. Not a good day of fishing for Gom.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g67s67c, 5 Pygmy Oil and 5 Solid Gold Coins in it. She made out better than Gom but not by much.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 3/29/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had sewer stew for the daily cooking quest. I did it on both Gomorra and Brieanna.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest, then heading over to the ruins directly beneath Dalaran to pick Crystalsong Carrots. There was no one there again today so the picking went pretty quick, as fast as I could run around and pick them. Once I had the 4 I needed I headed back up to Dalaran, though the Violet Gate, and hit the bank for 4 pieces of Chilled Meat. I built a fire and cooked my stew right there in the bank.

With stew in hand I headed down into the sewers to see Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly, where I exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. I recently changed my heartstone from Cantrips and Crows Tavern to A Hero's Welcome because I saw no reason to hearth into the sewer then run up top every time, it was just wasted time.

Today Brieanna's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices, 4 Old Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul for Brieanna today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. He didn't make out as well today.

Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 3/27/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she had Jewel Of The Sewers for me. I like this one because you don't have to leave Dalaran to complete it, no time wasted traveling. I did this on both Gomorra and Brieanna today.

I headed down into the sewers to my spot at the Black Market and started fishing for the piece of Corroded Jewelry I was after. I always fish in the Black Market, there is never anyone else there when I am. If you have ever fished in WoW you know that the bobber makes a noise when it bobs. If you get too many people fishing close together it can get confusing, that's why I like my spot in the Black Market. It didn't take me long to get the piece of Corroded Jewerly and I was on my way back to see Marcia.

I traded her the piece of Corroded Jewelry for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g85s81c, 5 Pygmy Oil and a Worthless Piece of White Glass in it. Not a great haul for Gom.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g71s98c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking, 3 Solid Gold Coins and 4 Deviate Fish in it. She didn't make out much better today.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 3/27/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for me. This is a fast, easy one that uses a lot of my mats. I did this one on Gomorra and Brieanna today.

This first thing I did, after I picked up this quest, was run over to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Chilled Meat to make the 4 Northern Stew I needed. I built a fire and cooked that up right in the bank. From there I headed over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran, for a Jug of Wine. I found that pretty quick today on both.

After that all I had to do was run across the street to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, and exchange the wine and stew for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Brieanna's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and 3 Old Spices in it. That was an Ok haul for her today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. He made out a little better than Brieanna did today.

Kalu'ak Fishing Dreby 3/26/10

I entered the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby today on Wranngar. I should have done it on Brieanna, she has a lot better luck fishing.

This time I figured I would save some travel time and fish for the Blacktip Shark in Crystalsong Forest instead of going all the way to Sholazar Basin. I started out close to 10 minutes late, I just happened to hearth to Dalaran and saw the fishing promoter standing there. I fished for a full 50 minutes and didn't catch a Blacktip Shark.

The last time I entered, about a month ago on Brieanna, I got a Blacktip Shark after fishing for about 45 minutes in Sholazar Basin, maybe I should have headed there again. You can catch a Blacktip Shark anywhere you catch Pygmy Suckerfish, and I caught about 30 in Crystalsong Forest today so I know it is possible to catch one there. Even if you are not the first one to hand in a Blacktip Shark, you still get a consolation prize of a Bag of Fishing Treasures. That would have been fine by me but I didn't even get that today.

I will have to set up some kind of an alarm for the future so I don't miss this again, I would like to win this one or at least get the consolation prize again lol.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 3/26/10

Today when I went to see what Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had for me I ended up with Blood Is Thicker. I did this one on both Wranngar and Brieanna today.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew straight inland until I found some Marsh Caribou. This quest requires that you get covered in blood and killing any of the animals the Druids protect will do that. I killed one and got covered in blood then headed back to shore where I jumped in, washing the blood off and creating a blood pool. I fished in the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy, that is what this quest is looking for.

Once I had my 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy I headed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I traded her the Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g28s71c, 4 Pygmy Oil, 2 Worthless Pieces of Orange Glass and 2 Deviate Fish in it. Hardly worth the trip to Unu'pe.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g24s35c, 4 Pygmy Oil, 5 Solid Gold Coins and 2 Runic Mana Potions in it. She made out a little better than Wrann but not by much.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 3/26/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Cheese for Glowergold for the daily cooking quest. Today I did it on Wranngar and Brieanna.

This is a pretty easy one, although I find the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses a little hard to target. I got quite a few of them before I even left A Hero's Welcome today. I got the others between Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly and One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop. I also picked up the piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger I needed while I was at One More Glass. Once I had all the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses and the cheese I combined them on the platter to make a wine and cheese platter.

I took that over to Ranid Glowergold (36,28) at the Leatherworkers in the Magus Commerce Exchange and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it. Nothing to write home about there.

Brieanna's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices in it. She made out a little better than Wrann did today.

Disarmed

I got the new daily fishing quest when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran today. This is actually a new version of an old daily, Disarmed is replacing Monsterbelly Appetite.

The story behind this is, a guard at the Dalaran Prison, better know as Violet Hold, had his arm ripped off by an unruly inmate and tossed into the water outside the prison gate. You need to fish up that arm. You want to fish right across from the entrance to the Violet Hold Instance (65,60). There is a little 'dock' there you can fish from. What you are looking to catch is a Bloated Slippery Eel. This is very similar to Monsterbelly Appetite in you have to open the Bloated Slippery Eel to find the Severed Arm inside. Once you have the Severed Arm you take it to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange, where she is going to attempt to reunite it with the guard. You get the usual reward of a Bag of Fishing Treasures which can have any number of great things inside or, possibly, just junk.

All in all I think this is a great improvement over Monsterbelly Appetite as there is no travel time involved. You get the quest from Marcia, run just about next door to where she is standing, and fish for your Bloated Slippery Eel. It couldn't be easier or faster.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 3/24/10

Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome had Mustard Dogs! for Brieanna today.

As usual this had me running to all the grassy areas in Dalaran looking for Wild Mustard. I got my first two pieces in the courtyard out behind A Hero's Welcome as usual. I got the other two out and about town. I noticed the mini map now shows you the locations of Wild Mustard like they were a mineral or herb node too, I think that is new in this last patch, I never noticed it before. It didn't take me long to get the 4 Wild Mustard I needed and I was off to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Rhino Meat for the 4 Rhino Dogs. I cooked up the Rhino Dogs and combined them with the Wild Mustard to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took the Mustard Dog Basket and went to see Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing where I traded him for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag with 3 Northern Spices, 3 Old Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it, a full bag today.

Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 3/23/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Jewel Of The Sewers for Brieanna. This is a nice easy one and the only daily fishing quest you don't have to leave Dalaran to complete.

This had me running down to the Black Market in the sewers below Dalaran. Once there I went to my spot and got down to fishing. My random daily heroic dungeon popped while I was fishing, so I left to do that, but I still think it was under 10 casts by the time I got the piece of Corroded Jewelry I was after.

I took that back up to Marcia and traded her for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g62s10c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and an Unusual Compass in it, about the usual return on this one. There are some great items to get from this daily and I have gotten quite a few of them, but there are still some I haven't gotten yet so I keep plugging away at it in hopes of the good stuff.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 3/23/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, for the daily cooking, she got Sewer Stew. This is a nice easy one and it is the only one you have to leave Dalaran for.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick the Crystalsong Carrots this recipe calls for. I needed 4 and it didn't take me long at all to get them. Once I had the 4 I needed I took the gate back up to Dalaran and headed over to the bank to grab 4 pieces of Chilled Meat for the rest of the recipe. I built a fire and cooked up my stew then headed down to see Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly. I exchanged the stew for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 2 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a great haul today, but not too bad.

Breeonna 3/22/10

The past couple days I have been working on getting Breeonna leveled up. That is going really well, I leveled her up 8 levels in 2 days, from 18 to 26.

I have been doing quests, yellow, orange and red ones only, I drop them if they turn green. That ensures me maximum experience gains from each quest I do. I have also been doing dungeons on her. Today I ended up in Wailing Caverns for the random daily. That wasn't too bad, I had done that one before on Wranngar, the only problem was our tank had a Gear Score (GS) of 5... Gear Score is used to determine the quality of a persons gear. 5 is not good. To give you an example Breeonna, at level 26, has a Gear Score of 800. Our tank was wearing gray and white gear, some of it was the stuff you are born with. Needless to say we didn't get that random done. I have also done Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep and Stockades, all of those went well. I did Shadowfang Keep twice yesterday.

I am now going to be questing in Duskwood before moving on to Stranglethorn Vale.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 3/19/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for Brieanna. It's been a little while since this one has come into the rotation.

This had me flying to Unu'pe, then out to sea, to the icebergs you can see from shore. I guess you could swim out there if you had to. I flew around until I found a school of Deep Sea Monsterbelly to fish from. I got my Bloated Monsterbelly on the first cast and cut it open to get the Severed Arm I was after.

I hearthed back and went to see Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran. This is the only daily fishing quest that does not get handed back in to Marcia. I gave her the Severed Arm and she gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g79s17c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Sealed Vial of Poison in it.

Sealed Vial of Poison starts a quest. The quest is simply to bring the Sealed Vial of Poison to Alchemist Cinesra in the Black Market, located in the sewers below Dalaran. He gives you 13g23s and it only takes about 30 seconds, not a bad deal.
