Alterac Valley - Daily Battleground 3/11/10

Today the daily battleground was Alterac Valley. I did it on Brieanna and we won the first one I was in.

I got in with a decent group on my first battle, we won but it was pretty close. It started as a blitz, most of them do, and failed, most of them do, but we still managed to hang on to Frostwolf Keep and cap the towers and relief hut there. Once we had the 2 towers down and relief hut capped we tried again and got Drek down for the win.

That completed my daily which rewarded me 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points. Brieanna can use the honor and she needs the arena points to upgrade her Furious gear to Relentless so I am trying to do the daily battleground every day on her.

I fought in 13 more battles in AV, all wins until the end. As I said you can pretty much set your watch to the time when it starts going bad in there every day and when that happened I just stopped fighting in there and went on to do something else.

Eye of the Storm - Daily Battleground 3/9/10

Today my daily battleground was Eye of the Storm again. I did it on Brieanna and didn't have quite the luck I did yesterday. I fought in 4 battles, 3 losses and 1 win to get it done.

The first 3 groups I was in were pretty bad. In the first one we decided to capture and hold 3 towers then run the flag if we could. Well, we couldn't even get 3 towers let alone hold them so the plan was changed to 2 towers and the flag. We couldn't get the flag... The next group wasn't any better. We didn't even have a plan in that group. The third group was the best of the first 3 fail groups but still not good enough to get a win. In the fourth group I finally got in with some people who knew what they were doing. We took 3 towers, kept pressure on the only tower the Horde had to keep them busy, and ran the flag a few times. We finally got a win and I got my daily done.

The daily battleground pays 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points so it is worth doing. I put the limit at 5 though, I will only try 5 times for a win, if I don't have a win in that many tries I drop it and see what tomorrow brings. I refuse to be one of those people who are on their 21st try...
