Knights of the Ebon Blade and Sons of Hodir Daily's 1/16/10

Today I did all the Daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade and The Sons of Hodir on both Wranngar and Gomorra. I was really low on gold in the bank, less than 100, so I had to start doing daily's again. I probably could have come up with a couple hundred in a pinch if I hit up all my toons and the guild bank, but that still isn't really enough to buy anything. That is the cost of PvPing all the time and not doing daily's.

I did the Knights of the Ebon Blade first. There are 6 I do for them, they take me about 2 minutes each character. The ones I do for them are Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire!, Shoot 'Em Up, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone and Intelligence Gathering. I don't hand in Intelligence Gathering every day, the documents you need to get have a really poor drop rate so I hang onto them when I get them and turn them in when I have 5, usually once a week. You can waste a lot of time every day looking for them. These pay 13g23s each so it adds up. I did turn in Intelligence Gathering on Wranngar today so that was an extra 13g23s.

After that I was off to Storm Peaks to do the daily's for The Sons of Hodir. There are 5 I do for them and these also take me about 20 minutes per character. The ones I do for them are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. These pay 13g23s each so that adds up too. These are really easy quests you can do once you have your reputation up with The Sons of Hodir.

I usually get 30-40 gold a day in garbage drops per character which is nice. I loot everything I kill and skin everything I can. The gold I make from the leather adds up too.

I also have another one I do on Wranngar in the Storm Peaks, Overstock. I pick this one up in K3. This is a really simple daily that only takes a few minutes and pays 12g96s. All you have to do is lay out mines and kill some mobs that run through a certain area. There is no contact so there are no repairs, this one is pure profit.

Daily Fishing - Monsterbelly Appetite 1/16/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Monsterbelly Appetite for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest. This one is easy but has a little travel time involved. The reason I keep mentioning travel time is it is time wasted in my opinion, you can't do anything while you are flying.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Un'upe. Once there I flew out to the icebergs you can see to the southeast. I flew around looking for a school of Monsterbelly and found one pretty quick on Gomorra but it took 4 or 5 minutes for one to spawn when I went back later to do it on Wranngar. I fished the school until I caught a Bloated Monsterbelly, this usually only takes a few casts at most. I opened it up and retrieved the Severed Arm I was looking for.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Olisarra the Kind, (36,37) the Grand Master First Aid Trainer in the Magus Commerce Exchange. This is the only daily fishing quest that does not get handed back in to Marcia. I exchanged the Severed Arm, which she is going to attempt to reunite with the fisherman who lost it, for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g43s64c, 5 Pygmy Oil and 2 Crafted Stars in it. Not what I was hoping to get.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g7s78c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking, 2 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass and a Waterlogged Recipe.

I love getting a Waterlogged Recipe, it starts a quest. The quest is to bring it to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it. Needless to say, Gomorra made out a lot better than Wranngar did today on this one.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 1/16/10

Today when I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Convention at the Legerdemain for Wranngar and Gomorra. This one has been coming up in the rotation way too often in my opinion. It burns through my mats.

This had me running over to the bank to get 4, yes 4, pieces of Chilled Meat to make the 4 Northern Stew this calls for. Then I was off to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran, to get a Jug of Wine, which I found upstairs today.

Once I had those in hand I went to see Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, and exchange them for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag. The Legerdemain is right across the road from One More Glass so this only takes a second.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices in it. Not a bad haul for Gom either, but not as good as Wrann.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 1/15/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for Wranngar and Gomorra. This is a nice easy one that doesn't use too many mats and you don't have to leave Dalaran for assuming you keep some meat on hand for the daily's, which you should.

This had me heading down into the sewers to pick some Infused Mushrooms, the recipe calls for 4. I got them pretty quick, once again it didn't seem like anyone else was doing it. From there I headed over to the bank and grabbed a couple pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them up with. I built a fire outside the bank and made my meatloaf.

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

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad day if you count the extra award as 10 more spices.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad day for him either.

Sons of Hodir Daily Quests 1/14/10

I did all my daily quests for The Sons of Hodir on Wranngar and Gomorra today. These are quick and easy and pay some decent gold.

The ones I do for The Sons of Hodir are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. There is one more, Thrusting Hodir's Spear, that I don't do because it is just not worth the aggravation for what it pays, in my opinion.

I do these in this order, Blowing Hordir's Horn and Hot and Cold together because they are in the same area, behind Dun Niffelem, where you pick up the quests, then Feeding Arngrim, Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter together on the other side of Dun Niffelem. They just seem to flow well that way with the least amount of wasted time or running around.

These all pay 13g23s each and I usually get around 20 gold each in garbage drops. Today I got a piece of Artic Fur, which is currently going for 80 gold a piece on the auction house, while I was skinning something I killed. Altogether I made 132g30s between the two plus, roughly, another 20 gold each from the garbage drops. I will keep the piece of Artic Fur as I might need it some day. I have about 2 and a half stacks now, around 50 pieces.

Knights of the Ebon Blade Daily Quests 1/14/10

Today I did the daily's for the Knights of the Ebon Blade on both Wranngar and Gomorra.

First I went to the Shadow Vault in Icecrown and picked up Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire! and Shoot 'Em Up, then I flew over to Death's Rise and picked up From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone and I already had Intelligence Gathering.

I did From Their Corpses, Rise! and No Fly Zone first. Today Wranngar completed and turned in Intelligence Gathering. These are done in Onslaught Harbor and go pretty easy and quick. I don't complete Intelligence Gathering every day because the drop rate on the documents you need to get is really poor, instead I collect what I get while doing the other 2 and turn it in when I have 5, usually once a week. I turned these in at Death's Rise for 13g23s each.

From there I was off to Jotunhiem to do Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire! and Shoot 'Em Up. These are 3 more that are really easy and go pretty quick once you get a routine down. I also get a lot of garbage drops from these 2 that add up to about 20 gold a day each. These are on the way back from Death's Rise to the Shadow Vault. Once I am done there I fly back to the Shadow Vault and turn them in for 13g23s each. I also sell all the garbage drops I got there and repair.

Between Wranngar and Gomorra I made 145g53s and another, roughly, 40 gold in drops. Not too bad for 20 minutes each.

Convention at the Legerdemain - Daily Cooking 1/14/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Convention at the Legerdemain for Wranngar and Gomorra. This one is quick and easy but takes a lot of mats.

First I headed over to the bank and grabbed some Chilled Meat to make the Northern Stew this calls for. I built a fire outside the bank and cooked it up. I headed over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop, from there and grabbed the Jug of Wine this calls for. Once I had everything I needed I headed over to Arille Azuregaze, the bartender at The Legerdemain, and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices in it.

Wranngar had 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in his. This is about the best I can expect from this daily as I already have everything else it has to offer.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 1/14/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Blood Is Thicker for Wranngar and Gomorra today. This ones not getting old...

This had me taking the flight path to Un'upe. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill and get covered in blood. Once I was covered in blood I flew back to shore and jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy.

I took those back to Marcia and traded them in for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Gomorra's had 10g77s38c, a Glow Worm, a Velociraptor Skull and 2 Deviate Fish. Not a great haul for Gom.

Wranngar's had 10g13s82c, a Glow Worm and a Piece of Worthless Green Glass. Wrann didn't make out any better.

Daily's 1/13/10

I did all my daily's for The Sons of Hodir and Knights of the Ebon Blade on Gomorra today and did the Knights of the Ebon Blade on Wranngar too.

The ones I do for Knights of the Ebon Blade are Leave Our Mark, Vile Like Fire!, Shoot 'Em Up, From Their Corpses, Rise!, No Fly Zone and Intelligence Gathering. I don't waste a lot of time on Intelligence Gathering because there is a very poor drop rate so I hand that one in once a week or so. If I get one I get one, but I don't waste time hunting for them. These don't take me long at all, about 20 minutes or so. If I complete 5, like I did today, that gets me 66g15s. If I do all 6 it gets me 79g38s.

The ones I do for The Sons of Hodir are Blowing Hodir's Horn, Hot and Cold, Polishing the Helm, Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim. These also take me about 20 minutes to complete and I make 66g15s off them.

So on an average day I make 132g30s per character, if I do them all on both, plus what I get from drops which is usually another 15-20 gold per character. Not bad for 40 minutes each.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 1/13/10

Today when Gomorra went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for him for his daily cooking quest.

This had me heading down into the sewers to pick 4 Infused Mushrooms. All the spots they used to spawn in that I haven't been finding them lately are spawning again so that is good. It didn't take me long to get the 4 I needed. With those in hand I headed back up to the bank and grabbed a couple pieces of Chilled Meat for the 'meat' part of the meatloaf. I cooked those up at a fire I built outside the bank.

I took the cooked Infused Mushroom Meatloaf and headed over to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore. He gave me 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag for my trouble. He's a man that likes his meatloaf. Today my Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices in it. That was kind of a let down but oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Daily Fishing - Jewel of the Sewers 1/13/09

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had Jewel Of The Sewers for Gomorra's daily fishing quest. This is the only one you don't have to leave Dalaran to do.

This had me heading down into the sewers to the Black Market. I have a spot there I like and have good luck with. Today was no exception, I got my piece of Corroded Jewelry in 4 casts. I usually get it in under 10 but that was really good.

I took that back to Marcia and traded her for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 9g4s53c, 3 Pygmy Oil, 4 Deviate Fish and one of my favorites, a Sealed Vial of Poison. Sealed Vial of Poison starts a quest. I accepted the quest, which is to deliver the Sealed Vial of Poison to Alchemist Cinesra back in the Black Market. This takes less than a minute and pays 13g23s, not bad for less than a minute. All in all I would have to say it was a pretty good day of fishing.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 1/12/09

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Cheese for Glowergold for Gomorra again. Not a whole lot of variety lately.

This had me running all over Dalaran looking for Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. You can find them everywhere, usually in the establishments. Today I got 3 in A Hero's Welcome, 2 in Cantrips and Crows Tavern in the Underbelly, and the last one at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop, when I went to get the Aged Dalaran Limburger. Once I had all the ingredients in my bag I combined them on the platter supplied, by right clicking on it, to make a wine and cheese platter.

I took the wine and cheese platter 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 with 4 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad return on this one today, better than the fishing.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker, again... 1/12/10

Today when Gomorra went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, for the daily fishing quest, she had Blood Is Thicker again for the 3rd day in a row. This is not a hard quest, the thing I don't like about it is the travel time.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to Un'upe in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland until I found an animal to kill. In this case it was a Marsh Caribou. Killing that got me covered in blood which is what I wanted. I flew back to the shore and jumped in the water, washing the blood off me and creating a blood pool. I fished in the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. That doesn't take long as you catch them 2 or 3 at a time.

With the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy in hand I headed back to Dalaran to trade them with Marcia for a Bag of Fishing Treasures. Today my Bag of Fishing Treasures had 8g13s49c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and 3 Deviate Fish. Not a great day of fishing I'll tell you what.
