Nat Pagle will be my BFF

Well, eventually he will…I haven’t had the patience so far to dedicated myself to doing the fishing for it daily.  But since I’ve had to explain to Kurby the process for getting rep with Nat Pagle a couple of times, I figured I’d do a quick blog post about it.  All of my knowledge on the subject has came from the wonderful El over at El’s Anglin!

The only way you can get reputation with Nat Pagle is to fish up rare fish from Pandaria   There are three types of fish and you can turn in one of each per day.  You can also only ever have one of each in your bag.  Theoretically you can fish up one of each, turn them in then fish up another of each for the next day if you don’t have time to fish every day.  Sadly they also have a very low drop rate, so you may be fishing a while to get them all, or you may get lucky and get them quickly.

You get one from sha touched water, one from inland water, and one from ocean water.  Before patch 5.1 you could only get them from open water, but El reported on twitter the other day that they also now drop from pools in those locations.  The fish are Spinefish Alpha (sha touched water), Mimic Octopus (ocean water), and Flying Tiger Gourami (river water), each are unique bind on pickup.  The catch rate between pools and open water is about the same, however fishing from pools nets more valuable fish, however if you want to just sit in one spot and aimlessly fish while watching netflix fishing from open water does have it’s perks of not having to move!

El states that it will take an average of 6000 casts to reach best friends with Nat Pagle, so don’t expect this to be a breeze.  I personally have other things I’m working on at the moment so I limit my progress to fishing for raid food at the moment.  For the best and most current information, visit El’s Anglin at the link above.

 

A Quick and Easy Guide to Daily Quest Hubs

Ok, so you’ve hit 90, you’ve got time on your hands and you want to do ALL the dailies, or, maybe you just don’t know where they are.  This is a Quick and Easy guide to the various factions and where to go for your daily quests.  Please, keep in mine, my priority list may not be the same as yours.

Professions:

Jewel-crafting – do your research
Alchemy – make any transmutes you can
Inscription - do your daily research
Tailoring – make your cloth
Cooking – Pick up the daily at Halfhill

Main Factions:

The Klaxxi–Located in Dread Wastes, you’ll need to have done at least part of the zone to open up the daily quests.  I strongly urge you to do the whole zone because the quest rewards are high enough gear level to get you into heroic five man content.  I would make this a high priority daily hub.

Golden Lotus – Located in the central area of Vale of Eternal Blossoms (where the “log in screen” statues are).  You need to have reached revered status with Golden Lotus to open up Shado Pan and The August Celestial faction daily quests, and as a result their epic gear.  I strongly urge prioritizing these daily quests over all others.

The August Celestials – You need to speak with the Quartermaster located under your capital city once you reach revered with Golden Lotus, each day they will direct you to where your help is needed most (aka where the daily quests will be).  In addition, there are always daily quests up for them in the Cradle of Chi-Ji, which is the largest of the Islands off the coast of the Krasarang Wilds.  From what I’ve found, if Chi-Ji is your breadcrumb, then that is the only daily hub you will have for them for that day.  These daily quests should become a priority once you open them.

The Shado-Pan–Their daily quest hub is located in Townlong Steppes at the flight path closest to Niuzao Temple.  Enchanters are going to find their best enchants with these guys.  These daily quests should become a priority once you open them.

Order of the Cloud Serpent–This faction is purely for fun items.  They have the Jewel-crafting patterns for the mount, and the Cloud Serpent mounts at Exalted   These are fun, and if you have time to do them, they are located at the Arboretum in Jade Forrest.  If you don’t have time, they aren’t going anywhere!

Secondary Factions:

Tillers– The tillers give us the ability to grow our own farm, which can be used for any profession, and even to farm motes of harmony once you reach the proper reputation. To get started with the Tillers, check out the information I posted here.

Anglers–Nat Pagle is back again along with some friends.  This rep is entirely to give you things to make fishing easier, if you enjoy fishing head over to the Anglers wharf in the Karasang Wilds.

Lorewalkers: This faction gives Archaeology a nod, there is a mount you can get as well.  You should see Lorewalker Cho at the top of Mogu’shan Palace to get daily quests.  To reach exalted with the Lorewalkers however, you do not need archaeology or daily quests, Michael Sacco at WoW Insider did a really good post about that!

These are the daily areas I’ve opened up so far, I hope this quick guide helps!

 

Bubbles of wha?

Today, I’d like to talk about blog I’ve been following for a while, but since it isn’t healing related, it doesn’t fit into the guides I have listed.  The blog is Bubbles of Mischief!  What I love about reading this blog, is that Cymre has some really great blogs about the new factions in Mists of Pandaria.  There is also a great guide on where to go to “catch em all” for the battle pet system (and how to pet battle too!), as well as rare mobs in the game, along with other fun things!.

I have Cymre in my feed reader, both from Bubbles of Mischeif as well as The Cym Daily, which

“Cym says:  It’s a great way for me to catch up on daily Twitter news I might otherwise miss :)  Here you’ll find mostly WoW topics but on occasion other things too.”

 

I find many new and interesting topics through both blogs!  So if you’re looking for pet battles, rares, and reputation, or, just new blogs to read, check out Cymre, I promise there’s a lot of great stuff to read there!

Super Busy

With my computer woes earlier this week, I’m super busy catching up on my school work and getting my kiddos ready for school next week, that means I’m delaying Guild Leader Perspective for another week (I know…LAME!).  I’m working super hard to keep everything in order here and it will become much easier once the kids start school next wednesday! (Yay!).

I have no original content today, however, what I do have will be helpful for Shaman and Druid healers!  What is it I have you say?  How about a couple blogs about Mists of Pandaria gear!

First, over on Water Bender, Mist Weaver, Elzabeth has all sorts of gear lists for Shamans, including 5-mans, reputation and raid (10 man and raid finder both!) gear!  If you’re interested in Shaman healing gear for Mists of Pandaria, I suggest you head over there and check it out!

Next over on Tree Heals Go Woosh, Tzufit has put together a post about her SUPER EASY excell spreadsheet with current Mist of Pandaria gear, including where to get it for pre raiding.  Not only is the spreadsheet super easy, it’s super awesome, because it will show your total stats for the available gear, so you can plan for what to farm (or have crafted).  I’ve downloaded it and saved it right to my desktop for easy access!

While neither list are best in slot lists, nor do they claim to be, they are an excellent starting point for the beginning of the expansion, and I’ll be using them both!

What I don’t have are Priest, Paladin or Monk lists yet, though, I would guess that monks could probably get some use from the druid spreadsheet in a pinch.  If you know of any great Holy Paladin blogs, please let me know!  Any Healing blogs that are not already on my blog roll would be a wonderful asset to my reading list!  (And I do read every blog on my blog roll, I just don’t always have time to come online and comment, I promise!)

 

Ps:  Once I get a few more links, I’ll be making a special page for Gear lists links, if you have a gear list you’d like to be included, please feel free to send me a link at eluna (at) healing mains (dot) com [without the spaces and ect]
