I’m Multitask Challenged…

I am a guy after all, I have an excuse.  No, but what I am getting at here is the fact that with a MMORPG such as WoW there are soooo many things you can do to keep yourself occupied.  I really should write down a list of things I would like to accomplish, but where’s the fun in that?

My problem is I want to do a lot of things in the game and sometimes I forget to catch up on certain skills that I meant to have maxed out a long time ago, i.e., cooking skill, as of right now I am sitting at around 365 cooking skill, and I found The Rokk in the Lower City of Shattrath to do the cooking daily quest, mo money…  There are a lot of recipes you can pick up either on the AH if you are lazy and don’t want to go find them, or you can go find Supply Officer Mill who is in the northwest guard tower at Allerian Stronghold.  Along with giving you some gold you also can pick between a box of fish or a box of meat as a reward, the boxes contain various food and even recipes sometimes.

Another things I have been working on is my fishing skill, currently sitting around 208, I know I have been slacking, I found a nice website dedicated to everything related to fishing in the World of Warcraft, El’s Extreme Anglin’ – WoW Fishing Guide.  At this site you can find just about anything you would want to find out.  One nice little tidbit of information that I was not aware of was that your fishing skill will go up no matter where you cast your line, and this whole time I thought I had to go to a higher level zone to get it skilled up, guess I was wrong, not the first time.  If you are serious about fishing I recommend you go visit Seth who is fairly close to The Rokk in Lower City he gives you the quest, Rather Be Fishin’, and the quest itself is simple enough if you are at least level 62 or so, go kill the eels in the little pond just northeast of Shat to collect the items needed, the reward is a nice fishing pole that adds +20 to your fishing skill and +52 stamina.  I would do the wowhead link but I am have limited access here because of the man and his stinking firewalls…but you get the idea.

Also, I haven’t done much research, so I don’t know, but my weapon skill, staff to be exact is still pretty low somewhere around 315, so I made my way out to the blasted lands to beat up on the servants there who don’t die…and once again I don’t know if a higher weapon skill translates to more damage while in feral form, but I am sure it doesn’t hurt.

I had a pretty good day yesterday as far as making some gold goes, I decided to go do some quests in Netherstorm that I hadn’t gotten done prior to hitting level 70.  After about 4 hours of questing I managed to make around 170 gold, that is with 2 daily quests and the rest regular quests.  Not too bad really, I am glad I still have so many quests to do, it just means more easy money for me.  Right now I am sitting at a total of 2475g between my characters, almost halfway there.  I am shooting to have 5k gold by the end of this month, I will try to remember to come back to this post and see where I am at in 28 days.

Does anyone else have issues with the sound in the game when you are using Ventrillo?  I don’t know if it the hotkey I am using, left ctrl or what, but whenever  I am on vent the sound in the game just shuts itself off and back on sometimes.  It is very strange, and usually I don’t care if the sound is on, except when I am in the battleground, I like having that extra sense to add to my awareness of my surroundings, you know the stealth person moving by you noise and stuff…I have checked all my settings and my drivers are all updated, I have no clue why it turns on the sound in the game.  If anyone has dealt with this and knows why it happens or how I can stop it from happening feel free to leave a comment, thanks.
