Daily's 5/23/08

I only did 2 of my daily's on Wranngar today, I have been pretty bad about daily's lately and have to get back into them. I did the cooking quest which was Manalicious and I had to go to Netherstorm and pick 15 mana berries. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward. The other one I did was Gaining the Advantage. I got a few of the Nether Residue while I was getting the mana berries from the Lynx and Crocodiles that were attacking me and the rest from Clefthoof in Nagrand. I also got a bunch of Heavy Clefthoof Leather from skinning the Clefthoof.

Ramparts 5/23/08

I helped out a Guild member, Stalleris, in the Ramparts today. They had 4 and needed another DPS. I used Wranngar and we had a pretty good run, Stalleris was healing and did a really good job. We had one wipe when someone got feared into another group of mobs which happens sometimes. About half way through one of the people left but we decided to go on with 4 anyway and did well, that was after the wipe. The Ramparts is an instance located in Hellfire Peninsula.

Scholomance 5/23/08

I helped out a group in Scholomance on Wranngar today. They were looking for a tank in trade chat and I wasn't doing anything so I decided to help out. It was a Paladin quest for the Paladin mount. It was a pretty good run, no wipes and only one death, a Warlock that auto-targeted the wrong thing. We only had to go to the basement which wasn't too far in and clear that then the Paladin did a summoning ritual which got the doors locked behind us. Then we had to defeat 3 or 4 waves of "ghosts" and a Deathknight. When it was all over the Paladin got his epic mount so he was pretty happy. It was a very smooth run, one of the smoothest I have had in Scholomance. We had a full group of 5.

Battlegrounds 5/23/08

I fought in a lot of battles today on Wranngar. I was in 8 Eye of the Storm, 5 wins and 3 losses. We were doing pretty good for the most part, at least 3 towers capped and running the flag if not 4 towers capped. In our losses we were up against pre-mades and they were pretty good. In those battles we were lucky to hold 2 towers at one time and in a couple of the losses we only held one. I also fought in 16 Alterac Valley battles, 8 wins and 8 losses. We were at 50% which is pretty good for the Alliance. In our wins everyone worked together for the most part, although there were a couple of battles I was surprised we won. For the most part we rushed FWGY although there were a couple wins where we rushed FWRH and pulled that off. In a few of the battles we really dominated, the Horde were rezzing in their cave because they didn't have a graveyard to rez at :). Only one of our losses resulted in us rezzing in our cave. A couple of the losses were pretty close, we were on Drek, in one battle had him down to 8% when the Horde killed Vann, so it was just a matter of who was moving faster. In another one we were at Drek, had 3 towers down but not enough offense to pull it off. One battle the Horde had at least 10 people in with Drek and they also controlled FWGY so they were rezzing and coming back as soon as we killed them, that is why it is so important for us to control FWGY. A lot of the other losses, too many, resulted from people going to Galv at the start of the battle which is almost a guaranteed loss. The same people did the same thing in more than one battle, they didn't learn from their mistakes, it almost seemed like AV weekend. Going for Galv at the start wastes valuable time which would be much better spent getting towers and graveyards and usually results in everyone ending up back at Dun Baldar because we don't have a forward GY to rez at. Needless to say we had a few turtles but so didn't the Horde. Another mistake that was made more than once was holding Stoneheart Graveyard, that keeps the Horde in front of us and keeps us from advancing and getting our objectives. All together I got over 630 kills today so I was happy about that :). As usual AFK was a big problem in all the battles.

Yonezoe 5/22/08

I helped out Yonezoe with Wranngar today. The first thing we did was a run through Blackrock Depths, an instance. A friend Casandraa helped too and we had no problem. Yonezoe got a bunch of quests done and we had a pretty good time all in all. After that we went to Burning Steppes and she finished up some quests she had there, where she leveled up to 53, then we were off to Western Plaguelands. She only found a few quests in WPL but she got some more in Eastern Plaguelands. We worked on them for awhile then hearthed back to Shattrath so she could go to Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula and get training for her Jewelcrafting. Wranngar and Casandraa helped her run to Honor Hold as the area is over her level with everything being anywhere from 58-63 in level.

Battlegrounds 5/22/08

I fought in 4 Eye of the Storm battles today, we had 2 wins and 2 losses. I was on Wranngar and Axeelina joined me. We did pretty good in our two wins, we 3 capped and ran the flag. It was over pretty quick, the Horde didn't even hit 1,000 points. In the 2 we lost we had poor groups and a lot of AFK, AFK is still a big problem in all the battlegrounds.

Daily Battleground 5/22/08

Today's daily battleground was Arathi Basin. I did it on Wranngar with Axeelina. The Alliance was in pretty poor form today :(. It took 6 battles to get a win and the first 5 were really bad. There was no organization at all. We would go from a 4 cap to having no bases capped. People do not get the concept of defending, they claim a base and then they have to move on to the next one before it caps, leaving one if any to guard it. I left one battle (deserter), it was the 3rd time I have ever left a battle that I can remember. Anyway in the 6th battle we finally squeaked by with a win. The daily battleground pays 11g99s and 419 honor. Wranngar broke the 37,000 lifetime kill mark today so I was happy about that.

Western Plaguelands 5/21/08

I helped out Yonezoe with Wranngar today in Western Plaguelands. She leveled up to 51 right after I logged on, while I was off doing my daily's in Shattered Sun, then she leveled up to 52 in Western Plaguelands right before I had to log off. We did 7 or 8 quests in Western Plaguelands. Hopefully we will be able to move to Eastern Plaguelands soon, then Outlands when she hits 58.

Daily Cooking Quest 5/21/08

Today's cooking quest was Revenge is Tasty. I did it on Wranngar. I flew over to Skettis and had to kill 4 birds before I got the wing I needed. After that I flew back to Shattrath and cooked it up with 4 Warp Burgers. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward.

Daily's 5/21/08

I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar today. It took me about an hour and I made around 150 gold. I also did Gaining the Advantage and the daily cooking quest.

Burning Steppes 5/20/08

I took Wranngar to Burning Steeps today and helped Yonezoe do some quests there. We were able to burn right through them. We had to kill some Ogres, some Dragonkin and some Wolves, pretty easy stuff. I logged off early tonight because I was pretty tired.

Daily Battleground 5/20/08

The daily battleground today was Eye of the Storm. I did it Wranngar and we won the first battle I was in. We owned the Horde, it was a fast easy win. I went straight to FRR when the battle started and about 5 people came with me. FRR was pretty heavily guarded but we just ran right over them and took it away. We started with MT, FRR and BET, then took DR. We had the horde trapped on their rock and just ran the flag until we won, it took less than 5 minutes. The daily battleground pays 11g99s and 419 honor.

Daily Cooking Quest 5/20/08

I did the daily cooking quest on Wranngar. It was Soup for the Soul again. I got the Clefthoof I needed for it while I was doing Gaining the Advantage. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward and got some fish but no recipe :(. The daily cooking quest pays 7g95s plus the reward.
