Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 4/13/10

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

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Unu'pe in the Borean Tundra. Once I landed I flew straight inland until I spotted a Marsh Caribou. You need to kill one of the animals that gets you covered in blood. Once I was covered in blood I flew back to the shore and jumped in. What that does is wash the blood off you and also creates a blood pool which you need to fish from. Bloodtooth Frenzy love blood and all come to the blood pool so catching the 5 you need is pretty easy. That and the fact you catch them 2 or 3 at a time makes it pretty quick to get your limit.

When I had the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy I needed I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I traded her the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. A Bag of Fishing Treasures can have all kinds of good things in it plus gold, or just junk plus gold. You always get some gold out of the deal.

Today Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g67s9c, 4 Pygmy Oil, 3 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass and 3 Deviate Fish. Pretty much a bag full of junk.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g73s86c, 3 Pygmy Oil and 3 Worthless Pieces of Green Glass. Another bag of junk.

Like the daily cooking, you take the good with the bad. I have gotten some great stuff from this daily and there is still a lot of great stuff I need to get so I will keep plugging away at it.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 4/13/10

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 again. I am not surprised, the daily's never change after a shutdown. I did it on Gomorra and Brieanna today.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick Crystalsong Carrots. The recipe calls for 4 and I got them pretty quick on both today, there was no one there as usual. That is one of the benefits of being on an Oceanic server while in the US, everyone is asleep or at work when I do my daily's. Anyway, once I had my Carrots I headed back up to Dalaran and hit the bank for the 4 pieces of Chilled Meat this calls for. I built a fire right in the middle of the bank and cooked up my Vegetable Stew.

Stew in hand, I headed down to deliver it to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly, in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it.

Brieanna's had 4 Northern Spices, 4 Old Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it.

They both made out pretty well from this one today. Brieanna still needs thirty something Dalaran Cooking Awards before she can get her Chef's Hat, so she is still working on that.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 4/12/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome for her daily cooking quest, she got Sewer Stew.

This one had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest. From there I headed over to the ruins directly beneath Dalaran to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. I love the way quest items sparkle now, it wasn't always like that. I got the 4 I needed pretty quick and took the gate back up to Dalaran. I hit the bank for 4 pieces of chilled meat then made a fire and cooked up my Vegetable Stew.

I took that down into the sewers, below Dalaran, to Ajay Green at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad day on this one.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 4/11/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Mustard Dogs! for us. I did this one on Wranngar, Gomorra and Brieanna.

This had me heading down into the sewers to pick Infused Mushrooms, I needed 4 for the recipe. It didn't take long to get them today, there was no one else around picking them and that makes it go a lot faster. Once I had the 4 I needed I headed up to the bank and grabbed a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with. Then I built a fire and cooked up my meatloaf.

I took the meatloaf over to Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Brieanna's Small Spice Bag had 9g93s, 6 Northern Spices, 4 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for her.

Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices in it. He didn't make out as well.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. He made out ok too.

Daily Fishing - Disarmed 4/11/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Disarmed for the daily fishing quest. I did it on Wranngar, Gomorra and Brieanna.

This is the daily fishing quest that replaced Monsterbelly Appetite in patch 3.3.3. It is only the second time it has come up in the rotation since then. This had me heading over to the entrance to Violet Hold, you're fishing in the water right across from there. The story is one of the guards got his arm torn off by an inmate who then threw it into the water there. You are trying to catch a Bloated Slippery Eel. It seemed like it took a long time to catch one today, there were other people fishing there too and they were there for a long time also. I finally got my eel though and when I opened it up I got the Severed Arm I was after.

I took the Severed Arm over to Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran. Like Monsterbelly Appetite, this is the only daily that does not get handed back in to Marcia. Olisarra is going to try to reunite the arm with the jailer who lost it, good luck. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my efforts.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g36s88c, 5 Pygmy Oil a Worthless Piece of Red Glass, and 3 Deviate Fish in it. Not a great haul for Wrann today.

Brieanna's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g24s36c, 2 Elixir of Water Walking, 2 Worthless Pieces of White Glass and 2 Deviate Fish. Not a great haul for Brieanna today either.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 3 Elixirs of Water Walking, 3 Worthless Pieces of Orange Glass and 3 Deviate Fish. Not a great haul for Gom.

It is safe to say no one had a great day of fishing but with all the Deviate Fish I got today I was able to cook up 2 more stacks of Savory Deviate Delight which I sold on the auction house for 25 gold a stack. Not a total loss after all.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 4/10/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Cheese for Glowergold for Brieanna.

This is a pretty easy one although I think the Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses are a little hard to target. Anyway, this had me running around Dalaran looking for Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. I got the first 3 before I left A Hero's Welcome and the other 3 at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop where I went for the piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger this quest calls for.

Once I had the 6 Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses and the piece of Aged Dalaran Limburger 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 my Small Spice Bag had 6 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it, a pretty good haul for Brieanna on this one today.

Daily Random Heroic Dungeon 4/9/10

I did the Daily Random Heroic Dungeon on both Gomorra and Brieanna tonight after taking a couple days off from them.

Gomorra ended up getting Utgarde Pinnacle for his. I like this one, it goes pretty quick and we usually don't have any problems in there. Tonight was no exception, we went through fast and smooth. I got my 2 Emblem of Frost and 26g46s plus a Emblem of Triumph for each boss we killed and, as we had Wintergrasp, some Stone Keeper's Shards.

Brieanna got Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom for her daily. I am not a big fan of this one. The only thing I really don't like about it is the last boss. He has this thing he does called insanity that makes everyone attack each other. They are actually mirror images that are attacking and they don't do much damage but it is still a pain. Still, we got through there without any problems, with the exception of the healer going AFK for a few minutes. If you are going to queue for a dungeon then have the time to do it I say. Someone going AFK holds everyone up. I completed that and received my 26g46s, 2 Frost Emblems along with a Emblem of Triumph for each boss we killed and some Stone Keeper's Shards, so all in all a good run.

Random Dungeons 4/9/10

I did some more random dungeons on Breeonna today along with questing. I got her up a couple more levels to 55 now, she is coming along nicely.

I queued into the same dungeon 4 times, Upper City in Blackrock Depths. That was the only dungeon I ended up doing on her tonight. I am so sick of that place. On the plus side I am now eligible for all of Dire Maul, Scholomance and Stratholme so hopefully I will be queuing into those tomorrow.

We had the usual problems of a couple of the groups falling apart and one of the we didn't end up finishing because everyone bailed, but I ended up with some pretty good groups in the other 3 after the quitters left. I got a couple nice items out of there tonight.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 4/9/10

When I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome. for the daily cooking quest she had Mustard Dogs! for me. I did it on Gomorra and Brieanna today.

As usual I headed to the courtyard behind A Hero's Welcome first to look for the Wild Mustard I was after. Today though there was someone back there picking Wild Mustard so I only ended up getting one piece from there. I got the other 3 over by the stairs leading up to the Violet Citadel. Once I had all 4 I headed over to the bank for some Rhino Meat.

That was when I remembered I didn't have enough Rhino Meat to do the daily on one toon let alone two. That had me heading out to Borean Tundra to spend a half hour farming Rhino Meat. I got a little over 2 stacks so I am stocked up again. I did the farming on Brieanna.

Back in Dalaran I cooked up 4 Rhino Dogs then combined them with the Wild Mustard to make a Mustard Dog Basket!, which I took over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing and exchanged for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag. Archmage Pentarus is always pretty free with the Dalaran Cooking Awards.

Today Brieanna's Small Spice Bag had 6 Northern Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it, she made out really well today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it, he made out well today too.

More Random Dungeons 4/8/10

I did some more questing and dungeons on Breeonna last night and got her a couple more levels, to level 53 now.

I got my quest done in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, more commonly known as the Sunken Temple. I got a nice trinket, Enamored Water Spirit, out of it when I handed it in. That was worth it and was a pretty easy quest to do. I am at the level now where Sunken Temple is pretty easy, not that is was hard to begin with. I got queued into Sunken Temple twice last night but got the quest done the first time. A lot of times you will get queued into a dungeon because someone left for whatever reason and that makes it a little harder to get quests done, but I did 2 full runs.

I also did 4 runs through Blackrock Depths. I am at the level now where that is a lot easier than it was although there are still a lot of quitters that break up the groups. Out of the 4 runs I did manage to get the random done twice. In the last one I was in we lost a person, the healer, after we had killed the boss to complete the dungeon. We wanted to kill more bosses but we couldn't go back into dungeon finder for another person because it would have queued us into another dungeon as we had finished that dungeon's requirements. We decided to try 4 manning it and see how far we could get. I took over the role of healer and we did pretty well, we got 4 more bosses down and completed a quest I had before we wiped. I think we did really well considering we were short a person and had a DPS for a healer. I was alternating between DPS and heals during the fights so I was kept pretty busy.

Sewer Stew - Daily Cooking 4/8/10

Today when Brieanna went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she got Sewer Stew for her daily.

This had me taking the Violet Gate down to Crystalsong Forest to pick some Crystalsong Carrots. You need 4 along with 4 Chilled Meat for this recipe. There was no one around and it only took me a minute to pick my 4 Crystalsong Carrots today. Once I had those I took the gate back up to Dalaran and hit the bank for the Chilled Meat.

I cooked the stew up at the stove in the little side room at Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly, then delivered it to Ajay Green in exchange for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag with 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Brieanna on this one today.

Random Dungeons 4/7/10

I broke from my normal routine tonight and didn't do the daily cooking, fishing or even the daily random heroic dungeon on Gomorra or Brieanna. Instead I concentrated on leveling up my Shaman Breeonna.

What I am doing to level her up as fast as possible is a combination of questing and random dungeons. I am always either in queue for a dungeon or in a dungeon. I quest in between dungeons. There is a lot of XP to be had doing dungeons and the dungeon finder puts you into dungeons as soon as you are eligible for them. That gives you maximum XP and some nice rewards that are your level or a couple levels higher than you.

Using that technique I was able to level Breeonna 3 more levels tonight, from 48 to 51. She hit level 50 with 3 days 14 hours /played so she is on track to hit level 80 in under 10 days /played. I am doing this without using any leveling mods or helpers.

I was in 2 different dungeons tonight. The first one I was in was Sunken Temple located in Swamp of Sorrows. I got a nice cape out of there for her. The next dungeon I was in was Blackrock Depths. This one is a hugh dungeon and a lot harder than any I have been in so far. It took me 3 different groups to actually complete it once. It was a reminder of why I stopped doing dungeons in the first place, at the first sign of trouble the group falls apart, people leave and you are left without enough people to finish. Finally in the 3rd group I ended up with in there we completed the dungeon, by killing the required boss, then continued on to some of the other bosses. Altogether I spent 4 hours plus in Blackrock Depths with the 3rd group and we still did not get all the bosses down. The place is that big, we just ran out of time.

I got a Shaman quest to go back into Sunken Temple and collect some feathers so hopefully that will fall into my dungeon rotation tonight.

Daily Random Heroic Dungeon 4/6/10

The first thing I do every night when I log on to Gomorra and Brieanna is queue for the Random Daily Heroic Dungeon. It usually takes about 15 minutes for the dungeon finder to put together a group so I do the daily cooking and fishing quests while I am waiting. The Daily Random Heroic Dungeon is a 5 man dungeon.

The first random heroic you complete pays you 26g46s and 2 Emblem of Frost, every one you complete after that pays 13g23s and 2 Emblem of Triumph. Every boss you kill gives you another Emblem of Triumph. If we control Wintergrasp, which we usually do, you will also receive Stone Keeper's Shards. You can use the emblems to buy gear and you can use the Stone Keeper's Shards to buy heirloom gear, honor and mounts. You can also buy heirloom gear with emblems but you have to trade them around first.

Today Gomorra's Daily Random Heroic Dungeon was Trial of the Champion. This one isn't bad, for the first part you mount steeds and fight other mounted mobs in a jousting manner.

After that the Trial of the Champion consists of facing three of these five Grand Champions of the Horde:

• Deathstalker Visceri
• Eressea Dawnsinger
• Mokra the Skullcrusher
• Runok Wildmane
• Zul'tore

The second round consists of facing one of these two bosses:

• Argent Confessor Paletress
• Eadric the Pure

The third round consists of facing:

• The Black Knight

You can get some decent rewards from this one, Gomorra got a cape today that was the last piece he need to complete the Epic achievement.

Brieanna's Daily Random Heroic Dungeon was Forge of Souls. This is another easy one but the group I was in today wasn't very well geared so it was harder than it had to be. That is ok though, people have to get geared somewhere and the heroic dungeons are a good place to do it, some pretty nice gear drops in them that can help you along your way to the really good stuff. In this dungeon you fight an assortment of trash mobs and 2 bosses, Bronjahm and then the Devourer of Souls. Personally I think the first boss is harder than the second in this one. They both drop some pretty decent loot, Brieanna got the Needle-Encrusted Scorpion today and Gomorra got his sword, Seethe, in there on a previous run, both from the Devourer of Souls.
