While cleaning out my bank on my quick grind from 71-80, I decided to cook each of the foods in the achievement which easily surpassed the 15 needed to get ‘The Northrend Gourmet.’ The next achievement will be a little more difficult as I didn’t do the cooking dailies every day, which means I don’t […]

To earn this achievement, you have to learn 100 cooking recipes. With the trainer recipes and the ones I used to level cooking, I had 94, so, I went to Thunder Bluff to get 3 more, traveled to Felwood to pick up 2 which left me short 1. I remembered a vendor in Booty Bay […]

cdthirtyfive only had to cook about 4 items to get this achievement as I had cooked a bunch of food right after WotLK for leveling. Even though Golden Fish Sticks were only +23 spellpower, while leveling a spellcaster, it did help. I had to cook some of the rarer fish caught near Karazan, Icefin Bluefish […]

cdthirtyfive had 450 cooking within a few days of WotLK’s release and was only level 71 at the time. I had prepared the feasts, but, after playing a few of the battlegrounds at 71, it was immediately evident that WotLK added 8k-10k hit points to people that were 4-5 levels higher. I always figured I […]

Cdthirtyfive did his Northrend Alchemy Research and discovered the [item]40077[/item]. These are a somewhat more useful potion than the Mad Alchemist’s potion as they give potion effects rather than elixir effects that may overwrite existing flasks/elixirs that you used in a raid.

As we run a number of twinks, and WotLK released gathering profession buffs, some of our twinks are close to the dreaded ding into the next bracket. One of my twinks is so close that 7 discoveries would level me into the next bracket. As I had 225 mining early on as a consequence of […]

Having a number of twinks, and knowing that 3.0.8 fixes the 225/rank 3 mining bug which granted 70 stamina rather than 70 hit points, its time to get from 225 mining to 450 mining. If you have 225 Mining, to get to 375 mining you can do so with smelting and two zone discoveries/2 lock […]

After farming a ton of meat, fish and [item]43007[/item], I figured I would just do the grind to get to 450. There’s no real reason to go beyond 425, but, having 450 cooking sure feels good. As soon as you can, start doing the Daily Cooking Quest in Dalaran because you will need a ton […]

Herbskinner completed the last of the dailies to get [item]44050[/item] today. I also purchased [item]44723[/item] for fun.

While cdthirtyfive was doing the Northrend Alchemy Research, the Elixir of Mighty Defense was discovered.
