Lethal Shots

With Wrath came an interesting addition to the game: Leveling Dailies. No longer do you have to wait until the level cap to get started on rep grinds. The most prominent of these new dailies is the Dalaran Cooking Daily. This quest is a must for anyone wanting to pursue upper level cooking, since it rewards the currency needed to purchase the highest recipes.

To take this quest, simply visit your factions inn and talk to the NPC there. You will be given one of 5 possible quests. If you come prepared, only one of these quests will require you to leave Dalaran.

Each quest will reward you with:

• 150 Kirin Tor Rep
• 15700 exp (9g 33s at Level 80)
• 4-6 gold
• 1-2 Dalaran Cooking Awards
• Small Spice Bag.

Most of these rewards are just fluff. What you are really after is the Cooking Awards and Small Spice Bags. The Awards are use to buy the high level cooking patterns and Northern Spices. The Spice Bags contain Northern Spices, and occasionally extra Cooking Awards and rare recipes.

Anyway, on to the quests:

• Infused Mushroom Meatloaf – In my experience this is the most common quest given. To complete:
  1. Obtain 2 Chilled Meat – Drops from any Northrend beast.
  2. Obtain 4 Infused Mushrooms – These are found in the Dalaran sewers.
  3. Use the Meatloaf Pan to create a Infused Mushroom Meatloaf – Requires a cooking fire.
  4. Deliver the Infused Mushroom Meatloaf to Orton Bennet – He can be found inside the building at 52.o, 55.2.
• Cheese for Glowergold – This may be the easiest of the lot, as all of the required items can be gotten in Dalaran. It can also be the most frustrating due to the competition for items. To complete:
  1. Obtain 6 Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses – These can be found on any of the tables in the inn.
  2. Obtain Aged Dalaran Limburger – Found in one of several random locations inside the cheese shop. Entrance at 53.5, 35.2.
  3. Use the Empty Cheese Serving Platter to combine the items into a Wine and Cheese Platter – No fire required for this one.
  4. Deliver the Wine and Cheese Platter Ranid Glowergold – He can be found inside the building at 36.5, 28.5.
• Convention at the Legerdemain – Once again, Very straightforward quest. To complete:
  1. Obtain 12 Norther Stew – You can cook these yourself or purchase them.
  2. Obtain a Jug of Wine – Found in one of several random locations inside the cheese shop. Entrance at 53.5, 35.2.
  3. Deliver the items to Arille Azuregaze – He can be found inside the building at 48.5, 38.1.
• Mustard Dogs! – Another easy one. (See a pattern yet?) To complete:
  1. Obtain 4 Rhino Dogs – You can cook these yourself or purchase them.
  2. Obtain 4 Wild Mustard – These can be found in any of the grassy areas of Dalaran.
  3. Use the Empty Picnic Basket to combine the items into a Mustard Dog Basket! – No fire needed.
  4. Deliver the Mustard Dog Basket! to Archamge Pentarus – He can be found on Krasus’s Landing at approximately 68.7, 42.5.
• Sewer Stew – This one option that no one will blame you for skipping. It requires you to leave Dalaran for some of the mats, which you can’t stockpile. To complete:
  1. Obtain 4 Crystalsong Carrots – These can be found below Dalaran in Crystalsong Forest.
  2. Obtain 4 Chilled Meat – Drops from any Northrend beast.
  3. Use the Stew Cookpot to create Vegetable Stew – Requires a cooking fire.
  4. Deliver the Vegetable Stew to Ajay Green – He can be found by the inn in the Dalaran Sewers at approximately 35.9, 57.5.

As you can see, all of these are pretty straightforward and shouldn’t take you long to complete. I do have a few tips to help you complete them faster.

• Keep at least 1 stack of Chilled Meat in your bags or bank so that you can complete the quest without leaving Dalaran.
• Keep at least 1 stack of Rhino Meat (or Rhino Dogs) for the same reason you keep Chilled Meat.
• Try to complete these in the off hours for your server. I have run into severe competition for some of the quest items when trying to do during peak time.
