This past weekend, I finally made it to level 70, and so I started in on the fishing daily quests and the Shattrath cooking daily quests.  (Can someone explain to me why the Dalaran cooking daily is level 65, but the other profession dailies are all 70?)

In doing these dailies, I have come to realize that I have some extraordinary luck in the random rewards that they provide.  To wit: I received the Captain Rumsey’s Lager recipe from my second Dalaran cooking daily quest.  I received the Delicious Chocolate Cake recipe from my fifth or so Dalaran cooking daily.  I received the Weather-Beaten Journal (for the fish finding skill) from my first fishing Daily quest ever.  These are supposed to be, at best, a two percent drop rate.  (The cake is actually estimated at more like .6%.)

… though it didn’t turn as bad as I feared it might.  Last night, J helped me out with the group quests in Terokkar.  Unfortunately, at least one in Shattrath didn’t count (though others may have – it’s all very confusing) toward the achievement and I found myself out of quests with 61 of 63 complete.  I searched through the list of quests in the zone, but couldn’t find any I had missed and was eligible for.  It was frustrating, to say the least.

I’ve been saving up for a while for my flying mount (ever since I transferred Sera to her current server).  For some reason, I had it stuck in my head that I needed 1000 gold.  Maybe it used to be that much.  I finally decided to cave and send Sera the money from Ceire.  (It helps that J offered me 500 gold too.  Even though I told him to hold onto it unless Ceire needed it later, it helped to know there was a cushion somewhere since I barely had 1100 gold between both Sera and Ceire.)

To get us off on the right foot, here are the details of some of the achievements I’m currently chasing:

As a few of you (okay, two of the three of you who might occasionally read here) know, I have decided that Sera is my achievement chasing WoW character.  She’s a rogue, which is handy for getting some of those dungeon achievements (boss assassination), and she’s the only one of my characters I PvP with regularly.  Also, she’s my favorite.  You’d think it would be one of my hunters, but for some reason I haven’t yet figured out, it’s not.

I’m going to try to update more regularly here.  I usually tweet (which also goes to Facebook) when I hit a major milestone, or mention it in the Diaspora channel, but that doesn’t leave much room for discussion or details.

I know posting here has been scarce.  I’m too easily distracted.  But maybe there will be a nice flood of WoW related posts here, at least for a while.
