			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.alteracvolley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/fishing.jpg" alt="" title="Daily Quest Guide: Fishing Dailies" width="430" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1177" />Each day a new Fishing daily is available from a NPC in the city of Dalaran. Unfortunately, most of these quests involve some travel time which might be enough to convince some players not to bother. Well, I&#8217;m hear to today to explain these quests and persuade you to give them a chance because the rewards and monetary gains you can earn from these simple dailies is worth the time and effort required to complete them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13830">The Ghostfish</a><br />
This quest takes place in the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?zone=3711">Sholazar Basin</a> which, if you have the right flight paths, is a relatively short flight from Dalaran. You want to fly directly into River&#8217;s Heart if you can. Right next to the flight path, on days when this is the Fishing quest, you will find dozens of people fishing into the water. The quest item, the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45902">Phantom Ghostfish</a>, can sometimes take awhile to catch but when you do it&#8217;s simply a matter of using the item by eating it. It&#8217;ll give you an invisibility effect that wears off eventually (you can speed up the process by right-clicking on the buff icon in the corner of your screen). Once the effect is gone, you can fly back to Dalaran and turn in the quest.</p>
<p><span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13832">Jewel of the Sewers</a><br />
This is the faster of all of the Fishing dailies to complete since it takes place right inside of Dalaran. The water you&#8217;re looking for located near the inn down in the city&#8217;s sewer. There&#8217;s a small dock next to the inn that is typically crawling with fishermen when this quest is the daily. Once upon a time, the drop rate on the quest item was insanely small but the rate has been bumped up so much that it&#8217;s not uncommon to snag the item on your line after less than a dozen casts. As a fun sidenote, this dock is also a popular fishing spot for anyone who is a serious pet collector as it is possible to hook a <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43698">Giant Sewer Rat</a> out of this same water.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13834">Dangerously Delicious</a><br />
Since this quest takes place inside the sometimes obnoxious <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?zone=4197">Wintergrasp</a>, where PvP can run rampant depending on your server population, I like to do this daily during non-peak times when possible. Snagging the ten <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45904">Terrorfish</a> you need to complete this quest can sometimes be a pain thanks to it&#8217;s relatively low drop rate. It&#8217;s not uncommon to have to sit and cast time after time for several minutes to get everything you need. That&#8217;s why I try and go when there aren&#8217;t many people in the zone since it&#8217;s not uncommon to run into PvP griefers who hang out near the popular fishing spots. If you can, try and stay as close to your faction&#8217;s flight path as possible when completing this quest. It&#8217;ll significantly lower your chances of being harassed by other players.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13836">Monsterbelly Appetite</a><br />
This is my least favorite of all of the Fishing dailies for some reason. The easiest way to get this done is to fly to the southern edge of <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?zone=65">Dragonblight</a>, near Moa&#8217;ki Harbor. The trick to this daily is to make sure your character is in the &#8220;Frozen Sea&#8221; and nowhere else. The easiest way to tell if you&#8217;re in the right location is to look at the text above the minimap/radar on your screen. If it says &#8220;Frozen Sea&#8221; then you are good to start fishing. If you get lost or confused, my preferred spot to complete this quest is a small series of ruins that poke out of the water to the east of Moa&#8217;ki Harbor. You&#8217;ll occasionally find other people there fishing as well. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13833">Blood Is Thicker</a><br />
Get ready for a long flight from Dalaran if this is the Fishing daily quest for you. This particular Fishing daily takes place in the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?zone=3537">Borean Tundra</a>. In order to knock this out as quickly as possible, fly straight to the small lake just south of the Amber Ledge. Once you&#8217;re arrive there, find a nearby mammoth or other creature and kill it so you turn red. This is a zone-wide debuff you receive for killing innocent animals. You can get rid of the debuff by jumping into the lake and doing so causes a red pool to appear. Fish in that red pool and you&#8217;ll begin to pull up the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45905">Bloodtooth Frenzy</a> you need to complete the quest.</p>
<h3>The Rewards</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46007">Bag of Fishing Treasures</a> is your main prize for completing the Fishing daily. It has a random assortment of items and occasionally you get cool stuff like the Porcelain Bell. This gray item sells at any vendor in the game for 100 gold. It&#8217;s a pretty rare drop from the Bag but when you get it the whole daily becomes more than worth it. The bag can also include useful items like rare gems, new fishing poles and even items that start additional quests. There&#8217;s an entire <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46007#contains:0+15+1">list of possible drops</a> over at Wowhead.</p>
<p>Aside from the quest rewards, the sheer number of miscellaneous fish you&#8217;ll catch while doing these dailies can be a nice source of gold depending on your server&#8217;s economy. There are plenty of posts on this blog already about the <a href="http://www.alteracvolley.com/?s=fishing">monetary joys of fishing</a> so I&#8217;ll leave those for you as further reading.</p>

Cooking dailies, while not the flashiest daily quests in the World of Warcraft, are still important for people who are both interested in Raiding and making easy money on the Auction House. I&#8217;ll get into the value of these dailies at the end of this post, after I&#8217;m done giving you brief overviews and descriptions of each quest. Each day only one of these five quests is available and some are easier than others but none are so complicated that you should pass them over.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13112">Infused Mushroom Meatloaf</a><br />This daily can be completed entirely in the Dalaran Sewer. The mushrooms you need can be found scattered all over the sewer but you can typically find them just inside the hallways on the Horde side and around the PvP/Arena area as well. Once you&#8217;ve rounded up the mushroom you just need to walk over to the nearest fire to combine the mushrooms with some <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43013">Chilled Meat</a>  and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
<p><span id="more-1170"></span></p>
<p>Chilled Meat is one of the staples of the Dalaran cooking dailies. I have stacks and stacks of this stuff in reserve. If you&#8217;re near an Auction House, always do a quick scan and buy stacks on the cheap for future use. The time you&#8217;ll save by buying instead of farming your own is totally worth it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13115">Cheese for Glowergold</a><br /> Of all the Cooking dailies, this one is the most frustrating to me. During peak play times, it&#8217;s almost always a mad rush on my server to find the Half Full Wine Glasses you need to complete this quest. My first spot to check is right around the NPC that gives you the quest but, of course, that&#8217;s usually everyone else&#8217;s first spot as well. When that goes bust for me, my next and usually final stop, is the Legerdemain near the center of town. You&#8217;ll eventually become very familiar with this location because of the next quest I go into but it&#8217;s also a great spot for this particular quest as well. Make sure you check upstairs in the small rooms for glasses as well. If you get lucky, you&#8217;ll have the six glasses you need and everyone else will still be running around looking in vain.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13113">Convention at the Legerdemain</a><br /> More Chilled Meat! I&#8217;m telling you that it&#8217;s important to stockpile these if you want to get into Cooking dailies. This is the easiest of the daily quests for Cooking. You can make the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34747">Northern Stew</a> right next to the quest giver, run over to the wine shop right across from the Legerdemain and then right back across the street to turn in the quest. I always love it when this quest is the daily because I know I&#8217;ll be done in a matter of seconds, not minutes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13116">Mustard Dogs!</a><br /> This is the only cooking daily that gives you an extra <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43016">Dalaran Cooking Award</a> as a quest reward. I always make sure I have enough <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43012">Rhino Meat</a> in my inventory so I can make the Rhino Dogs necessary to finish this quest. Once you have the Dogs made, it&#8217;s simply a matter of running to the nearest patch of grass in Dalaran and looking for the Wild Mustard. My personal spot of choice for the Mustard is the area around the Violet Citadel. There are two spawn points on each side of the steps leading up to the Citadel. Hopping from one side of the staircase to the other takes ten seconds and you&#8217;ll be ready to turn in this completed quest.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13114">Sewer Stew</a><br /> Finally, a chance to get out of town. The simplest way to handle this quest is to head to the flight area in Dalaran, hop on your mount and immediately fly directly underneath Dalaran. The ground around the river and the ruins underneath the floating city is spotted with the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43148">Crystalsong Carrots</a> you need to complete this quest. When you have the four you need it&#8217;s time to fly straight up towards, but not inside, the city of Dalaran. What you&#8217;re looking for during your flight is a small pipe sticking out of the side of the city&#8217;s rock face. Once you find that pipe, fly straight into it and follow the tunnel. It&#8217;ll lead you right to the quest turn-in NPC.</p>
<h3>The Rewards</h3>
<p>With the ease of acquiring gear and the emphasis switching to Raids for everyone from Raids to hardcore players, most players should be interested in learning Cooking and completing these dailies. The money you&#8217;ll save in Raid food for yourself or your guild will be appreciated.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t interested in Raid buffs for yourself then these dailies are still a viable source of income. The price of food on my server is definitely down from their highs several patches ago but there is one truth in Warcraft that will never change: you can always take advantage of people&#8217;s laziness. Most players would rather spend gold on food than make it themselves and you can use that to your financial benefit by running these Cooking dailies, acquiring <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43007">Northern Spices</a> and rare recipes and turning those components into items you can sell on the Auction House.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.alteracvolley.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/mobile_armory.jpg" alt="Mobile Armory iPhone App" title="Mobile Armory iPhone App" width="430" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-1153" />The official Mobile Armory iPhone App was recently updated with a few common sense features that were painfully missing from the app’s initial release. The first version of the Mobile Armory app was an incredibly useful, almost exact clone of the current Armory website. It allows the viewing of tons of information about every character on your account including: gear, achievements, talents and guild information as well. You could bookmark any character not on your account to make tracking their information easier as well.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the first version was missing the best part of the actual Armory website and that’s Gear Upgrades. The web site lets you select any item on your character and get a comprehensive list of every piece of gear in the game that would be an upgrade over your existing piece of gear.<br />
Other upgrades with this new version include some simple stuff like changes to the user interface and some new sound effects. The new sound effects, while unimportant to someone who has never used the app before, are a boon to people like me who found the version 1.0 sounds to be absolutely terrible.</p>
<p><span id="more-1152"></span></p>
<p>Larger improvements include the ability to save and load talent builds you make with the app’s built-in talent calculator. I bet this is brutally awesome when you’re on your lunch break at work and thinking about what things you need to work on that night at home. Or equally awesome when you’re sitting at your desk at work trying to look like you are doing important stuff on your phone. When you couple this feature with the gear upgrade function the Mobile Armory becomes the most important application on the phone of every WoW math nerd out there.</p>
<p>With the recent removal of non-official World of Warcraft applications from the App Store it’s important that Blizzard maintains and continues to improve the Mobile Armory. If they’re going to be iPhone bullies and remove third-party applications it’s key that they bother to show support for the platform and produce products that are even better than those they had forcefully removed. I’ve been harsh in the past on Blizzard’s policies regarding developers (see the debacle over Add Ons for proof) but as long as they keep pumping out improvements to the Mobile Armory and work on other apps, such as the Authenticator, I’ll be happy.</p>
