The patch 5.1 daily system seems fairly straightforward for the most part — you either get your dailies directly at the base camp for your respective faction, or you get a quest that will send you to a daily hub in Krasarang Wilds. Once your dailies are completed, you can then turn them in for reputation. But there’s another daily quest out there, one that’s hidden behind a purchasable item.
This daily quest not only grants you a chunk of reputation, it’ll give you a useful buff as well. But how you go about the process of getting that quest, and the limitations to the quest, seem to be a mystery to many players. And if you ask Jorn Skyseer or his Alliance counterpart Huntsman Blake, they have pretty much nothing to say on the matter. So how do you go about getting this useful bit of extra rep?
Well, there are two parts to the process.

The Tillers are one of several new factions in Pandaria, but they come with a couple of unique twists. First, you get to have your own farm for growing cooking ingredients through some unique phasing and a quest chain with a pandaren who is new to farming. In order to upgrade your farm and get more plots for planting, you have to get the approval of the other farmers around the area, which you can complete by increasing your reputation with the Tillers and completing a series of dailies.
Second, you can improve your farm itself, through befriending the various people you’ll meet around the area. You’ll start out as strangers to these characters, but over time you can earn reputation and make friends. Once you’ve reached best friend status, each character will mail you some items, and send an improvement or two for your farm. So what’s the best way to a Tillers’ heart? Some would say through the stomach, but I’d have to say through the judicious use of gifts.
And those gifts are surprisingly easy to find … if you know where to look.

I’m not a fan of gearing up. I hate watching my gear fade into obsolescence. I hate swapping out my legendary Fangs of the Father for a set of blue weapons that were given to me after I washed a few yaks and played the role of a pre-employment drug screener for some amped-up goats.
Bill Gates infamously picks lazy people to do difficult jobs, because they’ll find the easiest way to do it. I am that lazy person. I am always looking for the quickest way to get my rogue into raid-ready shape. The quicker that my rogue is geared up, the quicker I can get back toEviscerating leveling players of the opposing faction. With a couple of weeks of grinding daily quests and some heroic dungeons mixed in, your rogue can be ready for the first tier ofMoP raiding.

Daily quests are the bane of my existence. You’re going to say, “But Mat, aren’t dailies great ways to make easy gold or are usually quick enough to only really take a short amount of time a day?” Yes, good reader, both of these things are true. Dailies are not the bane of my existence because they are bad, but rather because I am “that guy.” Who is “that guy,” you ask? You know him — he comes in many forms.
That guy has every Argent Tournament mount … on multiple characters. That guy has done the Pebble daily enough that he should have a pet Therazane. That guy collects Tol Barad commendations for the fun of it, just to provide the Baradin Wardens and Hellscream’s Reach quartermasters with a commendation stimulus program. Quartermaster Brazie and Pogg support their respective families on that guy’s diligence.

OreCrusher is an addon that helps Jewelcrafters determine the most profitable way to use ore. It is similar to the Shuffling Spreadsheet and has most of the features necessary from it.
After manually entering the price of a stack of Cataclysm Ore, it will give you the optimal route to profit. It looks at disenchanting the items that are crafted using uncommon gems, transmuting gems with Alchemy, and just selling the gems directly. You need either Auctionator or AuctionLite/Auctioneer/AuctionMaster to pull in the prices. Auctionator is recommended. If you are using Auctioneer, you can force the GetAuctionBuyout pricing method by using the toggle command /oc altbuyout.
