But indeed, that only applies to the Azeroth Daily (you can only do one from any one capital city). You can still do the Outland and Northrend Dailies in addition to the Azeroth Daily.</p> <p>When one of my characters reach level 70, I start a little 'Daily Journey' for them that generally goes like this:</p> <p>Start in Shattrath<br /> Pick up Outland Fishing/Cooking Dailies (typically complete but don't turn in yet)<br /> Hearth to Dalaran (hearthstone set to Dalaran, obviously)<br /> Pick up Northrend Fishing/Cooking Dailies<br /> Optional: do the Kalu'ak Dailies if you are trying to get their great fishing pole (and if you're fishing, why wouldn't you be going for this?)<br /> More Optional Dailies: (depending upon level) Scholozar Basin Dailies, Coldarra, Dragonblight Wyrmrest Accord Dailies, Grizzly Hill Dailies<br /> Hearth to Dalaran (turn in completed Dailies)<br /> Teleport to Orgr/Stormwind<br /> Pick up/Complete Azeroth Fishing/Cooking Dailies<br /> Teleport to Blasted Lands, go through Portal, fly to Shattrath (turn in completed Dailies)</p> <p>Since they removed most of the portals from Dalaran and Shattrath, the logistics for getting around is a bit awkward. I picked Shattrath as my 'home' base primarily because of the chance of getting the fishing quest 'Crocolisks in the City' where you then have to travel to Orgr or Stormwind, and it's very irritating to do the Azeroth Daily first, and later get the Crocolisk quest later which forces a return to Orgr/SW.</p> <p>Another 'trick' this above sequence allows is also a good time saver: if you happen to get one of those 'distant' food or fishing quests in Shattrath (such as Mana Berries), after you pick up your 15th Berry in Netherlands, you can just hearth directly to Dalaran instead of having to take the long flight back to Shattrath or the portal in Hellfire Peninsula. </p> <p>Also, 'time' your Northrend fishing/cooking Dailies with the Kalu'ak Dialies in Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, and Howling Fjord. I tend to go in a 'counter-clockwise' motion around Northrend. First, fly to Sholozar Basin (note you can do this for free if you are level 76 and get but don't complete the quest "Where in the World is Hemet Nesingwary?" from Archmage Pentarus in Dalaran. I then fly using my mount rather than take paid transportation to Kaskala (first Kalu'ak Daily). From Une'pe you can take free Turtle Boat to Dragonblight (second Kalu'ak Daily), and from there, take the other Turtle Boat to Howling Fjort (third Kalu'ak Daily). When finished there, your cooldown on your hearth stone is probably complete, and you can hearth back to Dalaran to continue on to Stormwind.</p> <p>"Well, that doesn't really save much money." Aha, but it does! I figured I was paying up to 5 gold and more per day on 'excess' travel costs, Multiply that by a month of dailies, and that's 150g extra in your pocket. Also, you can always fish pools while waiting for the Turtle Boats (which have approximately an 8 minute cycle), so there really is no 'dead' time.</p> <p>One last 'free' ride is to Coldarra (where you can do the "Drake Hunt" daily) from Amber Ledge. You first have to do two small quests from Surristrasz in Amber Ledge, who will then fly you to Coldarra for free whenever you like.</p> <p>There are tons of good Dailies in Northrend, particularly while you are grinding through your 70s. I just listed the ones I generally do.</p> <p>Improvements to the 'plan' are always welcome as I'm always trying to fine-tune the flight paths and order of quests. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-man-barlo#post-10298 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:17:07 +0000 Despoiler 10298@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Finally got it last night after patch.

Ive been needing 1 quest for over a month now and he will not give it. Is there some trick I don't know about? Does doing the quests give a better chance of the one you need popping up the next day? After I did the quests once I kinda stopped doing them, but he will not give The One that Got Away to save my life. Anyone else have this issue? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5724 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:02:48 +0000 Cherel 5724@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think it's worth doing for a variety of reasons. It's easy money, it's often good money (I get 25g vendorables all the time). The croc pets are cool. The number of times you do a fishing daily is tracked, so I think of it as a way of voting for more fishing dailies. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5688 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:47:22 +0000 Svet 5688@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Depends. Make sure you get the achievement. Otherwise it's good for levelling skill and getting paid to do so at the same time. And as others have noted - it double your chance of certain rewards (the hat and rum recipe mainly). Also with the new rods, extra chances of a line are good, even if the new line is better. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5678 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:38:24 +0000 Azaguth 5678@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've received 6 ornate drinking steins, 4 old wedding rings, 2 fishing hats, a bucket pet (couple days ago finally), an ancient coin (just once), some truespun line, and a BUNCH of water walking potions, jaggal pearls, and TONS of sharpened fish hooks.</p> <p>But I'll keep going til I get the other three pets and the 2 ring. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5665 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 06:42:13 +0000 Kogitsune 5665@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Also depends on what you're looking for out of the dailies. Many of the treasures are available in both, so it's just one more chance to get that Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat. ; ) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5664 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:48:46 +0000 Nonzor 5664@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I like these dailies; I've gotten a few cool things that go well with my tuxedo, including Antique Cufflinks and an Ornate Drinking Stein. A buddy of mine caught an old wedding ring, which he dons with his tux. Plus it's just really easy money. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/worth-doing-outland-fishing-daily#post-5639 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:17:09 +0000 Rokdar 5639@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I would keep doing the dailies if I were you, most don't take much time unless you're really unlucky.

I did the achievement the "old-fashioned way" on my main, but really didn't want to spend another 400+ casts for an alt. I did the Wrath Gate achievement in Dragonblight, got the follow-up that phases you to non-hostile in Ogrimmar, took the portal, and headed to the pools in the valley to fish. (Alliance if you hadn't already guessed). I had the crocs in the city daily, tried the "bug" option, and it obviously didn't work. I had a total of 377 casts for him and twice ignored the croc catch for the daily within the first 50 or so catches. I finally accepted the croc on the third fish-up and still took nearly 300 more casts to get Crafty. Happy it's done. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4456 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:34:45 +0000 Pilwei 4456@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught Old Crafty twice this week. These were my first two catches of the shark-like swimmer. On 2/16/09 and 2/19/09. In both cases I was on Old Man Barlo's Daily quest of "Crocolisks in the Sewers" and had decided to keep fishing after catching the Baby Crocolisk to raise my fishing skill. I had raised my skill 2-3 points and bang there was the Crafty one. Same situation on the second day. </p> <p>Picture of the two Old Crafty's in my Bank at: <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&#38;friendID=182010917&#38;albumID=1874347&#38;imageID=30851884">Screen Shot of Pilwei Bank with 2 Old Craftys</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4274 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:23:15 +0000 woxingma 4274@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Sounds like they've reverted the dailies to back what they used to be.

Rather than keeping my druid idle, I should have continued to do the daily to increase my chances of getting a good drop. So tonight I decided to start doing just that. I unparked my druid, did Crocolisks in the City, and got the pet. Talk about luck... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4170 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:45:21 +0000 rakoth 4170@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been doing the daily for about 3 months now and have managed to get the Eye of the Sea, Spun Truesilver Fishing Line and the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat.
