WOW Achievement: Discombobberlated

One of the profession achievements which rewards a toy is the fishing achievement, Discombobberlated. This achievement rewards the toy, Reusable Oversized Bobber.
A quick way to complete this achievement is to go to Legion Dalaran and first visit Marcia Chase <Fishing Trainer & Supplies> near the fountain, to purchase Oversized Bobber.
Then enter the Dalaran Underbelly and make your way to The Black Market area.  Be aware that this area is sometimes PVP but if you want to counter that, to make sure you are not attacked, you can buy a bodyguard for 5 gold for 5 minutes from Raethan <Underbelly Guard Captain> near the entrance.
Once at the black market area you will see some green pools called Shimmering Whorl.  Using the Oversized Bobber fish in these pools and you will fish up the Sightless eyes,
From each successful cast you will get between 6 and 9 Sightless eyes and these will all count towards completing the achievement making it take far fewer than the 100 casts required if you were catching one fish at a time.  To complete the achievement took less than 5 minutes.  

Enjoy your new toy. :)

WOW: How to get Yusa's Hearty Stew Recipe

An extra recipe you can get for cooking in Dragonflight is called Yusa's Hearty Stew. This recipe only needs dragonflight cooking level 30 to learn and it is a grand feast increasing a secondary stat of all who enjoy it.


Elder Yusa is located next to a cooking fire in Teerakai, Ohn'ahran Plains at (41:62).  If you do /hungry to Elder Yusa she will give you the recipe.

Elder Yusa, "You're hungry, eh? I can hear that belly rumbling from here! Well, I've only made enough for Teerakai, but here's the recipe if you'd like to try some yourself. You might want to cut some of the ingredients unless you're planning to feed an army." "And remember, watch your teeth!"

The recipe requires:
Farmable ingredients: 1 x Islefin Dorado, 1x Thousandbite Piranha, 1x Mighty Mammoth Ribs.
Purchased ingredients: 1x Ohn'ahran Potato, 1x Assorted Exotic Spice.

Enjoy!

There is new WOW loot available for Amazon Prime Members for a limited time only. Prime Gaming subscribers can obtain the Big Battle Bear mount starting from March 30th until April 27th.

If you already pay for Amazon Prime you also have access to Prime Gaming.  In order to claim this mount in WOW you need to connect your twitch account to your Amazon Prime account and link your Blizzard account to your twitch account, then you can claim your reward by either visiting the Prime Gaming rewards page for World of Warcraft or clicking the Claim Offer button on the news post on the Battle.net launcher. This news post will also give you all the information you need to set up an Amazon Prime or twitch account and how to link them. (How to Claim the Big Battle Bear)

After clicking the claim button the mount arrived almost instantly in my collection mounts tab and I think this does look good with a Tauren (see above)

WOW Wanted: Fenistrasza's Skull

On a poster in Dragonscale Basecamp the Dragonscale Expedition ask for someone to try and find Fenistrasza's Skull.  The skull is in the possession of Tarjin the Blind.  Tarjin the Blind can be found in The Waking Shore (16:62) but, you can not get the skull until you complete his quest Tarjin's Tales.
Q - Tarjin's Tales - Collect 5 Impressive Dragon Skulls from powerful dragons and proto-dragons in the Dragon Isles.

This does not need to be 5 different dragons, which is something I did not realise initially.  A good place to do this quest is to kill Jadzigeth (53:83) in The Walking Shore. 
This dragon has a respawn timer of about 60 seconds and drops the skull with every kill, so it is a really quick way to complete the quest. 
I had been finding it difficult to identify what to kill. Circles were appearing on my mini map showing me places to complete the quest but when I got there I could not see any impressive dragons which may drop a skull.  Using Jadzigeth is definitely the way to go although, it is a bit annoying that when you return the skulls to Tarjin he just chucks them over his shoulder into a lava pit and insults you "Impressive for a weakling".  

Tarjin will then tell you a tale, The Tale of an Outsider.  After listening you can click on Fenistrasza's skull and Tarjin says, "Go, take the skull to your easily impressed commanders.  Tell them of the mighty djaradin who slew the dragon it once belonged to."

Return the skull to Cataloger Jakes in Dragonscale Basecamp.

New WOW Twitch drop

From February 1st to February 5th 2023 Blizzard introduced a new Twitch drop which you could get if you link your battlenet account and your Twitch accounts and then watch 4 hours of Dragonflight content from selected streamers. The drop is an old trading card toy the Goblin Weather Machine - Prototype 01-B (Activate your personal weather maker (30 sec cooldown)).


This toy creates a personal, localised weather just for you including sun, rain, snow and if you are lucky even a rainbow. 


If you don't get the toy right away in WOW after you claimed it on Twitch this also happened to me. It didn't appear on live WOW for about 24 hours and I was a little worried that I would need to do a ticket, but the next day when I logged in the package was ready to open in the toybox. 

I would usually watch HazelNuttyGames but on this day my timing wasn't right and so to get this I watched Krakenlatte, shout out to her. It's a fun little toy I hope you managed to get it before the deadline and may the sun always shine on you :)
