Fly Fishing

We started late the last couple of days, not really leaving enough time to make any progress toward the next level. That's not to say that we haven't made progress in other things, though.

With time being short I've been concentrating in three areas (and Kate's been doing something similar). First, I've been making titansteel bars; each needs three titanium bars (or six titanium ores) and some other things, and you can only make one every twenty hours but it's worth it because even if I have to buy some of the ingredients on auction the profit margin is still very good - one bar sells for seventy or eighty gold.

Second, I've been fishing for Borean Man o'Wars to make Black Jelly, and the way I've been doing it has been to fly along the coast of the Borean Tundra with my Fish Finder enabled on the minimap, watching for schools of the things. It's not that I need Black Jelly specifically, but until you reach a skill level of 425 at cooking this is one of only two recipes that will give you any skill points. I was at 424 for a long time until yesterday when I finally got the extra point and at that time both of those recipes stopped giving more skill points. From 425 there are only two more recipes you can get that will advance you toward a 450 skill level; both recipes can only be bought for Dalaran Cooking Award points, and the only way to get those is to complete the daily quests from Katherine Lee in the Hero's Welcome inn in Dalaran.

So the third thing we've both been doing is running those quests. The other day we got one award point and yesterday another two for a total of three - enough to buy one of the two recipes. We'll be continuing to run those daily quests for a little while at least.

In addition to the cooking dailies, there are also fishing dailies that give you some money and a bag of fishing goodies. We didn't know about these quests until yesterday and we tried the first one, which meant fishing for corroded jewelry in the Dalaran Sewers. These are more daily quests that we'll probably continue with, at least as long as they continue to deliver cash, goods and XP.
