Noor doing quest: Houses of the Holy




This quest involved getting Stratholme holy water from crates in Stratholme; I tried using a target dummy the first few times (and succeeded once), but eventually found out I could open the first crate on the left without a dummy if I was careful and a bit lucky.


I really needed this quest, because it just barely got me to "friendly" with Argent Dawn, opening up all the collection quests (savage fronds, bone fragments, etc) that I can complete by buying them as they come up on the auction house.

Captain Sander's Treasure Map

The level 10 quest-starting drop (from Westfall murlocs) showed up in the auction house; I passed it by a couple of times thinking it was the Tanaris map, but bought it when I realized it was a quest chain I haven't done yet. Not much XP, but every bit helps, and I'm now wearing his shirt. Speaking of XP, I get a little every time I try AV, since people in my group kill NPCs. Not much I can do about that, but since Alliance rarely wins, I might skip it as the daily.

FIFTY! YEP!

The Fire Festival has two new, REPEATABLE daily quests! Plus a quest in practically every Alliance and Horde town to visit the fire and either honor it, or desecrate the opposing faction's fire. I'll hit 50 later today.

I also found out I can do "A Little Slime Goes A Long Way" because collecting the slime is like skinning -- you can do it to ANY corpse you find, even one you didn't kill, as long as it's been looted. I got all the Tainted Slime samples I needed from an undead priest who was running around killing them. Still need the Cursed Slime samples...
