The Outland Gourmet

I did it! I am so happy, I finally have the recipe for Kibler's Bits which means I never ever have to do that damn cooking daily again. I am sure I have all of the fish recipes, maybe someday I will look to be sure hahah. I am still several short of Chef de Cuisine so I will probably have to resort to buying them off the neutral AH. I am not spending that gold right now though as I still have to do Dinner Impossible, although it appears we are short one recipe for the final Northrend Gourmet. I am sure I could never be fast enough to be the first on my server to get Hail to the Chef anyway.
Now I have to make that decision about skinning, I sure do want to do it but think I will wait until after Christmas, I have been making some gold off fish now that I can also fish at my level. If I ever do level my hunter I will be sure to keep all her professions at her level as that is a fracking nightmare. I never did First Aid on Em, I know that it would be mad expensive to level that but I am going to do it for the Achievement. Not this week though!

To Do List

First of all I do not raid. I want to raid, really I do and I am on an awesome raiding server. However I am not comfortable with it and rarely have that much time available. I also do not have the gear and honestly don't know what the gear would be or where I would find it. So I grind. I grind mobs, grind quests, grind achievements and grind my professions. Which brings me to the list. I dropped skinning at level 68 and over 400 to take up Tailoring at the "suggestion" of my guild. I hate crafting, always hated crafting but I believed the lie that I would only be able to get the gear I needed if I could craft it. Okay, maybe this was true on some levels and now I really I mean REALLY want the Flying Carpet so I would not drop it but I do think I will drop Herbalism and level Skinning again. While grinding/questing yesterday in Northrend and chatting with another new friend I found one herb and killed about 200 mobs that I could have skinned. Plus the Northrend herbs (when I find them) really do not sell all that well. I recently transferred my lvl 38 Hunter over to my current server and she will need a crapton of leather as she has that for her second skill.

I certainly do not regret having Herbalism for 71.9 levels as it has paid for all my mounts, gear and the astronomical cost of leveling Tailoring at 68. I almost quit playing over that, I would never recommend doing such a stupid stupid thing unless you have basically unlimited funds or a guild that will supply you with what you need. But it is done now and I am finally Tailoring at my level so it is not so hard. I am in the process of making my first set with Frostweave and it is very pretty.

So my plan for Em this week is to finish up whatever I can of the Winter Veil achievements

Continue that stupid Cooking Daily in Shatt to get the elusive Kibler's Bits Recipe so I can finish off The Northrend Gourmet

Continue the cooking dailies in Dalaran to get the last couple of recipes

and the big one, drop herbalism and take up skinning


For my NE Hunter Seabree I plan to work on her cooking and get her leveled to 40


My biggest problem is lack of bag space. I have Imbued Netherweave equipped on Em and one banker but I really need to get on those Frostweaves. I don't have the pattern yet, need to grind massive amounts of Frostweave Cloth to get there.
