On my fourth Shattrath fishing daily, the Crocolisks in the City quest finally showed up.  I’d read that the drop rate on the pet reward for this had been upped to around 60% (from a previously reported 2%) and it looks like that might have been true.  Snarly’s Bucket is now mine!  He is really too too too cute.  I’ve never really liked any of the other cold blooded pets (frogs and snakes and the like) so I wasn’t expecting to like him so much.  He makes the cutest little, “Mmmeeeehhhh,” sound when you click on him too.

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:
