True :-) Just meant that it doesn't lead to anything else nor give you
any amazing rewards so it doesn't matter if you don't.

Yeah, I really hoped they'd do something but they just stand there and
look pretty lol. I've got Jogu living in my pond at present, saves
trying to find him under a heap of players for his predictions, that's
about as useful as I could get out of any of them (I have a mammoth so
don't need Gina for vendor/repairs). Maybe it'll get changed in a
future patch or something so they actually do help, I'd love it if it
did.

Well, actually you still don't *need* it, only quests you have to
complete are those to start the Ways (hand over ingredients, which
you're then given back anyway). All the vegetables, and even the
ingredients buyable with Ironpaw tokens, don't bind so can be found on
the AH. So the only reason you *have* to do it is if you want the two
recipes which require exalted (and don't give wildly useful stats or
anything), it's just convenience beyond that since you can spend gold
on it as an alternative. Personally I found it all really fun anyway
(to the point where I'm actually levelling cooking on an alt as well),
but if you don't enjoy it, it's fully avoidable.
