Goblin Barbecue

One of the things about being an engineer is that you really get some cool items, but, rarely are they beneficial to more than yourself. In this case, Blizzard added the Goblin Barbecue which is fairly inexpensive to make, and, provides a decent buff if you haven’t gotten any of the raid feasts through your guild.

Captain Rumsey’s Lager

cd34 — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:35:49 +0000

cdthirtyfive’s fishing skill was 1 while cooking was 450. In order to get the Chef title, you need to brew Captain Rumsey’s Lager which is a drop from the Fishing Dailies in Shattrath. The first daily was to fish something in Shadowmoon Valley which required roughly fishing 205 + the Aquadynamic Attractor and the Limited Edition Nat Pagle Fishing Pole. Powerleveling fishing to be able to catch the fish in Shadowmoon Valley took a few hours, the quest was turned in, but, no Recipe.

The second day, the fishing quest required a fish in the rivers of Terrokar forest which required fishing 355 to cast. I leveled fishing to 235, buffed up, but, no good. Missed too many fish. I went back to Orgrimmar (why pass up the chance to try and catch Old Crafty) and leveled fishing to 280 and went back to fish Terrokar Forest. Bingo, received the quest fish in about 8 casts, turned in the quest and voila, the Recipe was in the quest reward.

A quick trip over to the Inn in Shattrath, purchased the two ingredients and made the Lager right there.

Old Ironjaw

cd34 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:30:36 +0000

This isn’t required for the ‘Salty’ title, but, I figured, why not get it while I was in the alliance town. After getting ‘The Fishing Diplomat‘, the first trick was getting into Ironforge.

I went to the western ramp out of the lake under the bridge and mounted up near the Alliance Shaman Trainer. From there, I went up the earthen ramp, across the bridge, through the Trade Quarter, through Old Town, made a wrong turn almost into Stormwind Keep, turned back around and went into the Dwarven District and into the Deeprun Tram. I was not dismounted, ran through a number of non-pvp flagged alliance. The guards did attack a number of times, but, I kept running until I zoned into the Deeprun Tram.

Once I entered the Deeprun Tram, it was a few seconds before I was able to get on one and on my way to Ironforge I went. I didn’t really expect a lot of resistance once I got into Ironforge, but, I kept my armor on expecting that I would probably kill a guard or two if needed and would rather stay alive than take a durability hit. I brought two guards with me, and rather than run past the Forlorn Pool decided to kill them. I tried Feign Death which released one guard, leaving me with a level 75 guard to kill. He wasn’t much of an issue.

Throughout my fishing, I was greeted (or ignored) by a Fiti who fished a little in the pool while I was there. A gnome Death Knight, Rokubx rolled around me with Path of Frost up but, left me alone to continue fishing.

Several other Alliance waved, or walked by without noticing me. However, Malthias did kill me and started fishing there for a while. Rather than get killed, I logged out and came back after the Battle for Wintergrasp.

One time when I zoned in, two Horde were also fishing there. Jerrod, an orc hunter and a death knight friend of his were fishing. Jerrod got Old Ironjaw in roughly 145 casts he estimated. I was already at 800 casts when he left.

After a total of 894 casts, ',VAUTO,HAUTO,FULLHTML);" onmouseout="return nd();">[Old Ironjaw] was mine.

Not that I have that many achievements complete for the Salty Title, but, one of the hardest ones to obtain is now out of the way.

The Fishing Diplomat

cd34 — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:02:39 +0000

Herbskinner decided to do a little fishing. I flew into Grom’gol, ran straight through Stranglethorn Vale up to Stormwind. At that point, I debated which way to go. I stayed mounted, ran through the guards and dropped off the left hand side of the bridge and swam under to the right hand side and into one of the ‘canal’ portals. First cast, achievement accomplished.

Kickin it up a Notch

cd34 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:13:20 +0000

cdthirtyfive on his way to earning his Chef title had to finish the Outlands Cooking quests. After 6 days, I finally got the 4th and final Cooking Daily and was awarded the Achievement.

The Northrend Gourmet

cd34 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:03:16 +0000

While doing Rokk’s Cooking Quest, I happened to cook a recipe on the flame while making Spiritual Soup which ended up being the 30th Northrend Recipe which allowed me to gain the achievement.

50 Dalaran Cooking Awards

cd34 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:01:37 +0000

Even though cdthirtyfive was the first of my toons to hit 450 cooking, I stopped doing the cooking daily right afterwards, and, herbskinner actually hit the 50 Cooking Awards achievement before cdthirtyfive did. I spent a lot more time on Herbskinner, so, I just happened to do the dailies more frequently while questing.

Second That Emotion

cd34 — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:09:42 +0000

During the 3 day grind from 71-80, I looted the 4 emotion food recipes (along with two alchemy recipes that will come in handy). While finishing up some of the cooking achievements, I ended up with enough to make each of the 4 foods less one Essence of Undeath. A quick trip to the Auction House found one rather cheaply, so, I made each of the foods, ate one, earned the achievement. The rest of the food went into the guild back for 4 other guildmates to earn the achievement if they haven’t already.
