Quick Daily Quests

I've come to realize the quickest way to make money (legally) in Warcraft is to do the daily quests. Now, the trouble is, at level 80, many of them can take considerable time. I've noticed that the daily cooking and fishing quests have some that are quick and some that take longer. For instance "Jewel of the Sewers" can be done in a couple minutes, while the Ghost fish or the one from Wintergrasp can take much longer.

My goal here is to list quests that take just minutes but reward a good amount of gold. I'll try to list them in a route that makes sense as well.

1. Fishing, Jewel of the sewers
2. Cooking, Cheese for Glowergold or the wine quest.
3. Argent Tournament, Kill the 15 cult members.
4. Coming soon...

Weather Beaten Fishing Hat - MINE!

After years of searching I can finally claim the Weather Beaten Fishing Hat as my own.

Glacial Salmon

Catching some Glacial Salmon in the Grizzly Hills. Only one more recipe for my Chef title and I need 450 skill to learn it. Time to make some Small Feasts.

Mining

Mining is an easy business. Once you get your skill and pick just keep the "Find Minerals" skill up and hit them whenever you can. I spent a couple hours just running back and forth and picked up enough minerals and stone (and a few shadow gems, malachite and tiger's eyes) to raise both mining and engineering to around 75. I am sure it will get harder as most skills do. I will attempt to post what I find and where I find it.

I find the most difficult part to get past is the iron-gold levels. This is midrange and there seems to be a shortage in veins in all areas.

Here are some good locations that I have found for mining at low levels.

• Tin - Darkshore, random - Westfall, Jangalode mine, random
• Copper - Elwynn Forest, North of Westbrook Garrison
• Malachite - Elwynn Forest, North of Westbrook Garrison
• Tigerseye - Elwynn Forest, North of Westbrook Garrison
• Shadowgem - Elwynn Forest, North of Westbrook Garrison
• Iron - Southshore, Caves in Redridge mountains
• Gold - Stranglethron Vale (east of Kurzen's compound and on east mountains), Arathis Highlands and throughout the Badlands
• Silver - Arathi Highlands, Thousand Needles, and the Barrens (around the edges of Shimmering Flats is easy)

Suggestion Box: Random Harvest Times

While pulling weeds in the garden the other day I made an interesting observation. It doesn't take the same amount of time to pull each weed. Some come out of the ground quickly while others seem to be held in with Mighty Putty. I am sure the same would be true of getting copper and silver deposits out of the ground. Or even for skinning a freshly killed animal.



I feel that in order to make most tradeskills more realistic the "timers" should be a random amount rather than a set number of seconds.

Now, I don't know what is more sad; the fact that I think of things like Warcraft while weeding the garden, or that I was comparing Crabgrass to Felweed.
