Questing in Sholazar Basin and the Storm Peaks

We started off with the daily cooking and fishing quests in Dalaran; the cooking quest just meant running around Dalaran a little bit, but the fishing quest sent us out to River's Heart.

Sholazar Basin

Our first task was to complete the fishing daily, which was to catch a Ghostfish and figure out its secret (which is that eating one makes you invisible for a short time).

We continued questing where we left off with a series of simple quests: switching on two activation consoles at Maker's Perch and Maker's Overlook, on opposite sides of the basin, to power the Waygate; passing through the Waygate to find and activate the Etymidian, a weapon which is actually a large automaton.

We left it there, with the last quest ('Reclamation') not done yet because a workmate who is also player told me that even with his level 80 Paladin he wasn't able to complete this quest solo. I may have a go at it anyway, just to see if it's that bad.

Storm Peaks

We moved on to K3 and continued with some quests we'd left off there: collecting a power cell for a Goblin transporter pad, getting the pad working then knocking down various baddies. Then there was a repeat of the quest we'd done earlier, laying land mines.

The last quest in K3 meant jumping on a rocket that flew us automatically to a crash landing in Frosthold, not too far away, and there we started more quest chains.

I lost count of the number of quests we completed, but the XP we gained was enough to push us from about a third of the way to level 79 all the way up to about eighty percent, and there are still quests to be done around there; one more good session today should get us to level 79 and a good way toward level 80.
