This is in no way a new strategie, but I havn't seen it listed anywhere. I find this particularly useful on a lvl 60 character, as you can simply go afk and let your skill rise

Step 1 - Fly to Netherguard Keep, Blasted Lands.
Step 2 - Travel to 42,30ish where you will find mobs of humanoids. One of the mobs is called a "Servant of Sevine".
Step 3 - Clear your way to the servant, and agro the servant.
Step 4 - Kite this mob back to netherguard keep, and move it into the southern tower.

Here you must lose agro, and let the elite guards inside the keep tank the mob. Once you have lost agro, you are free to hit the mob, and go afk whilst your skill rises. If you are familiar with the quest involving these mobs, then you will know that you have to cog a crystal for the mob to die. Obviously there crystal is not cogged, and so the mob stays on 1% until a GM decides to despawn it (which usually takes 24hrs+ due to the obscure locale.) I'm sure you could pull the mob elsewhere for horde, although I am unfamiliar with the horde camps in that area. I would imagine you could do the same thing by kiting the mob to the horde camp in the south of the Swamp of Sorrows.

1. Basics
————————–
Who?: You and the Buyer
What?: Fishing stonescale eel for money
When?: Real time, or even while your sleeping.
Where?: Azshara, Tanaris, or Feralas (Feralas is only for emergancy =p)
Why?: FOR MONEY!

2. What do I need?
—————————
i. It's required that you have a HIGH level of fishing, probably 225 or above. Having a high fishing level helps you fish faster, and more efficiently.
ii. A fishing pole would also help, Im using a "Big Iron Fishing Pole" (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2950). This is VERY handy, but is a rare find.
iii. A safe spot to fish, also hidden. This helps when your either on a PVP server, or if you just flat out don't want to be seen when using the Fishing Bot.
iv. And the fishing bot, which can be found under (on the left) - Quick-Strat Forums < Hot Strategies < wow Stratagies < Quiet Knight's Fishbot.

3. How much do they sell for?
—————————-
i. For a stack, I can usually get 8-10g. A stack consists of 20 Stonescale eel, and per-night I was coming up with 3-5 stacks.

4. Why do they sell for so much??
—————————–
i. The reason these Stonescale Eel sell for so much money, is because they make REALLY nice potions. These potions are called "Greater Stoneshield Potion". These raise a person's armor by 2000 for 2 minutes. That's like holding a shield for 2 minutes with the use of a potion. (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=23418) - These sell for 3g EACH on my server … (Cenarius, maybe because we're so gready )

5. Easy things to make money even faster.
—————————–
i. Try to sell them through the "Trade" channle of your City/Zone. And tell them to "PST" to make that money on-site.
ii. Try to sell the fish for less then the AH, and TELL your buyer this, he/she will be persuaded even more towards your offer because of time and money saving.
iii. Sell at peak-hour times on your server, this should probably be 5-7 O'clock PM. This should be because people are getting back from work, and it's before dinner.

I hope that this doesn't spoil my chance for making ALOT of money =p, but I want the game to be "equal" ; ) - and every1 should have the same opprotunity.

/script PetPassiveMode();
/cast Freezing Trap

You can successfully drop a trap while in combat. Testing this should only require 10-15 seconds as it is not "Maybe it will work" thing, it is extremely easy to pull off, just hit the macro three or four times in a row.

enjoy

[56] A Matter of Time
Objectives : Kill 15 Temporal Parasites
Rewards : +15 Intellect, +4 Stamina, +4 Strength, +3 Spirit Cloth Shoulders

To get this quest, you need to venture into the Ruins of Andorhal and find Chromie the Gnome. If you have a look at the map below, where the #6 is, there is a small path that leads into the main part of the zone. If you approach the ruins near there, it's the quickest route. Chromie is located at the top of the 'inn' like building just below the #6 but you will have to fight your way in. If you were to come from the west path, you want the first full building on your left.

Once you have found Chromie, collect this quest from her and the head back out of the ruins, around to the east side. You want to head roughly to where #7 is marked on the map, along the edge of Andorhal Ruins, not far from the Writhing Haunt. You are looking for tall wooden structures that will have a blue glow to them.

Fight your way close to the towers and then use the Temporal Displacer to uncover the Temporal Parasites. Most times you will get two parasites come through, occasionally you will get three. Also, sometimes when you get two and kill them, a third one will spawn on it's own. You can only use the Temporal Displacer once at each silo, once the blue glow disappears, you need to move onto another glowy one. Once done, head back to Chromie.

[56] Counting Out Time
Objectives : Locate 5 Andorhal Watches
Rewards : Attuned Dampener - Inflict 525 to 675 arcane damage on the attuned target, and lower the damage it deals by 25%.

The second quest from Chromie sends you in and around the Ruins of Andorhal to find some Watches. You can get all 5 without having to wander very far from the building she is in, just keep your eyes open for wandering elites. The watches are inside 'Small Lockbox's' and there is usually one in the corner of every ruins, just have to check all corners.

Note that the reward is a one use item, but the quest is repeatable (no xp second time around) if you want more. After you have collected your 5, head back to Chromie and hand in.

[56] Unfinished Business
Objectives : Kill 2 Scarlet Medics, 2 Hunters, 2 Magi and 2 Knights
Rewards : XP!

Kirsta Deepshadow gives this quest, and unless you have been to her before, she can be quite tricky to locate. The easiest way to get to her is to head up behind the Dalson's Tears farm, where you should eventually enter Northridge Lumber Camp. If you run up the west cliff wall of the camp, you will find the safest route with only a few spiders and wolves.

While running up this side, keep one eye on the mini map as you should be able to see the 'path' leading down to Kirsta there before you actually come upon it. You are looking for a dip in the cliffs that leads down to a cart, Kirsta will be kneeling behind it. Alternatively, you can run up the path leading to Hearthglen till you get to the tower and then go cliff jumping…

Once you find her, she will give you this first step. The Medics and Hunter's are best found at the Scarlet Crusade's base camp, the first camp you killed at. The Magi are best found along the path to Hearthglen along with some Knights, but if you have trouble getting those, look around the Lumber Mill. Once done, return to Kirsta.

[57] Unfinished Business
Objectives : Kill Huntsman Radley and Cavalier Durgen
Rewards : XP!

The next step requires you to take out two important members of the Crusade. They are both found along the path to Hearthglen so you need to make your way out and around. You can bypass the group of mobs at the very base of the camp, because even if you get agro, by the time you get near the first named, they drop off.

About half way up the path you want to keep your eye open for a bit that leads up into the mountains, it will be on your right. Up that little path there, you will kill a couple of mobs before finding Huntsman Radley and her pet pooch at the end. Most likely you will have one add in the mix, but if you fear the pet and Seduce the add, you can take them out no worries.

Further up the road you will come upon a tower, and that is where Cavalier Durgen will be hanging out. Clear the mobs at the bottom and then just wait, eventually durgen will not only wander down to the bottom of the tower, he will wander right out front. Pull him back and kill him, but beware he does hit hard and fast, sometimes a bit of a shock to those not prepared.

[58+] Unfinished Business (Elite)
Objectives : Enter Hearthglen and find a high vantage point from which you can see the town and gauge the Scarlet Crusade's forces
Rewards : XP!

Now, although this is an elite quest, and you are about to run into an area full of elite mobs, you can do this! When you come to the end of the path, you will find Hearthglen. There will be a mob at either side of the main entrance, along with a third one just inside. I have drawn up a map (a very bad one lol) to help explain where you need to go a little better, but you basically want the tower that's just near the front.

If you use your eye to learn the way, you enter the main gates, follow it around to your left and you are already beside the tower you need. You can also go around to the right, but there is a stable with additional mobs on that side. There will also be mobs inside the tower, but if you summon your Voidwalker before entering, you can utilize the sacrifice shield to run up the tower.

If you have a Nifty Stopwatch (Badlands quest), this will come in handy too. You only need to make it to the top of the tower to complete the quest, so once you're up there you can jump off and make your way back out the main gates to safety. I think all in all I lost about 30% of my hitpoints, and that was from the jump more than the mobs. For 6200xp at level 57, it was worth it.

Winterspring

Started at level 57
Finished at level 58

With Western Plaguelands out the way, you could head over to Eastern Plaguelands, but with both Winterspring and Sithilis starting to go green now, I chose to go there first. I chose to do Winterspring first as Sithilis mobs, although around the same level, can be a bit harder.

[54] Chillwind Horns
Objectives : Collect 8 Uncracked Chillwind Horns
Rewards : XP!

[56] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 15 Raging Owlbeasts and 15 Ragged Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

These two quests can be done while running around the zone. Chillwind Horns is the follow on from the Burning Steppes quests, after you completed the Broodling Essence. There are three different types of Chillwind Chimaera around the zone; Fledgling Chillwind, Chillwind Ravagers and Chillwind Chimaeras. All three will drop the horns, however I had the best rate with the 'fledgling' which was nice as they are the lower level ones.

You will find the Fledgling Chillwind along the west side of the zone, usually higher up in the rocky part than along the flat part near the path. Up there is also where you will find the best population of Ragged Owlbeasts. Both mobs will be mixed in and around with Bears, Yeti's etc so you will just have to kill everything (yay xp!)

For the Raging Owlbeasts to complete Wild Guardians (which comes from Felwood btw) you want to head just north of Everlook. They are basically all around the area up there, ranging quite wide.

[56] Threat of the Winterfall
Objectives : Kill 8 Winterfall Pathfinders, 8 Den Watchers, and 8 Totemics.
Rewards : XP!

[56] Winterfall Ritual Totem
Objectives : Take the Winterfall Ritual Totem inside Timbermaw Hold and see if one of the furbolgs there will find a use for the item.
Rewards : XP!

[56] Winterfall Firewater
Objectives : Bring the Empty Firewater Flask to Donova Snowden
Rewards : XP!

All of the above three are done in the same area, however the last two come from items that drop so you will only have the Threat of Winterfall which comes from Donova Snowden. If you are still working on your Timbermaw faction, these furbolgs, like their cousins in Felwood, will assist that.

Just over the path from Donova you will find Frostfire Hot Springs, and the furbolg's you need. While killing these you may be fortunate enough to have a Winterfall Ritual Totem drop, which like the one from Felwood, you hand into Kernda inside the tunnels. Almost a high enough drop rate to guarantee you will see one is that Empty Firewater Flask, which you return to Donova.

[56] Falling to Corruption
Objectives : Search the Deadwood furbolg camp in northern Felwood for a clue
Rewards : XP!

After you give Donova the Empty Firewater Flask, you need to duck into Felwood, to the cauldon at the very back of the Felaw Village, the camp at the very top. If you are coming in from the path you want to head to the left of the water area there, and at the back you will find the largest of the camps, and in that camp the cauldron you need.

If you do this quest during the day, you can usually find people clearing the furbolgs for faction so you can just duck in and grab the cauldron when it's free. If there is no one there you may need to seek help as you tend to get the entire camp in one hit. After the cauldron, head back to Donova once again.

[56] Toxic Horrors
Objectives : Collect 3 Toxic Horror Droplets
Rewards : XP!

For a Winterfall quest series, I seemed to be heading into Felwood a lot. For the Toxic Horror Droplets you need to head back into Felwood to the Irontree Woods and locate the Toxic Horrors, the big elementals around the water. I got all three droplets from the first three I killed, however it's finding the three that is the hardest part as there seemed to be a constant stream of people after them. Once you do have them, head back to Donova.

[57] Winterfall Runners
Objectives : Find the Winterfall Runners and stop them from delivering their shipment to Winterfall Village.
Rewards : XP!

You may have seen these guys through your travels in Winterspring. They are three furbolgs that wander up and down the path, and now, it's time to kill them. I was already 58 by the time I came to this step and as they were 3 level 57's, I made good use of fear. They tend to be easiest to find along the main path from Felwood to Everlook.

After you have taken all three down and looted the package head back to Donova. Now, when you hand in you will have some Winterfall Ambusher's spawn, for what I'm not entirely sure. I got taken a little by surprise but managed to kill all three, only to find they aren't lootable and I got zero xp.

[56] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Collect 10 Thick Yeti Furs
Rewards : XP!

Just out from Everlook you will find Ice Thistle Hill's and lots of Yeti's. I had a pretty good drop rate with these and found no need to enter the cave you will find at the top there, although you will need that for later steps. Once you have your 10 furs, return to Umi.

[56] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Collect 2 Pristine Yeti Horns
Rewards : XP!

Heading back to Ice Thistle Hills, you can choose to hunt outside, or enter the caves. You are hunting the Patriarch's and Matriarch's as they are the only ones that will drop the Horns, and the caves do seem to have a higher population.

[58] Are We There, Yeti?
Objectives : Take Umi's Mechanical Yeti and scare her friends with it
Rewards : Mechanical Yeti! Use: Summons a mechanical yeti that will protect you for 10 minutes.

Now comes the fun part! You will find Legacki in Everlook just left of the Inn, Sprinkle in Gadgetzan and Quixxil in Marshal's Refuge, Un'Goro Crater. When you get close to them, right click the yeti to release it and watch it chase them around. Once done, return to Umi in Winterspring.

[58] Winterfall Activity
Objectives : Kill 8 Winterfall Shaman, 8 Winterfall Den Watchers, and 8 Winterfall Ursa
Rewards : 4 Reward options… none of which are very good (only 1 cloth)

Just as you enter Winterspring from Felwood, you should find Salfa, he'll be guarding the entrance to the tunnel. You need to head over to Winterfall Village to find these mobs, and the Ursa's will give you the most trouble as there seem to be only one or two in the entire camp. The hardest part of this quest is finding the mobs alive as it seems everyone and their dog hunts here.

[58] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 13 Moontouched Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

A follow on from the earlier Wild Guardian's quest, the Moontouched Owlbeasts are found along the eastern wall. They can also be found further south, however I had no problems getting the 13 killed.

[59] Wild Guardians
Objectives : Kill 10 Berserk Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!

[59] Guarding Secrets
Objectives : Take the Blue-feathered Necklace to Trull Failbane at Bloodvenom Post.
Rewards : XP!

You probably saw a lot of the Berserk Owlbeasts while killing the Moontouched so shouldn't have too much trouble. While you are killing these you will most likely have a Blue-feathered Necklace drop, they can drop off the moontouched, however I had each one drop from the Berserk Owlbeasts. All you need to do is hand this in at Felwood and then in Thunder Bluff. Very easy.

That was me done with Winterspring!

Silithus

Started at level 58
Finished at level 59

[55] Deadly Desert Venom
Objectives : Collect 8 Stonelash Scorpid Stingers and 8 Sand Skitterer Fangs
Rewards : XP!

[55] Securing the Supply Lines
Objectives : Kill 15 Dredge Strikers
Rewards : XP!

You can do both of these quests around the North East part of the zone as the mobs are all over. I did a big arc around from the top of Cenarion Hold around to Southwind Village to complete the following quest.

[55] The Spirits of Southwind
Objectives : Free the spirits of 8 Tortured Druids and 8 Tortured Sentinels
Rewards : XP!

You will these at Southwind Village and you should find enough around the bottom that you don't have enter the main part. When you kill each one, you will 'stir the nearby silithid' which spawns between one to three mobs right on top of you. You get XP for each one it spawns which is nice, but sometimes it can be a juggling act when you get three.

Once I had completed all three quests, I headed back to Cenarion Hold to see what was next.

[57] Noggle's Last Hope
Objectives : Gather 3 Stonelash Pincer Stingers, 3 Stonelash Flayer Stingers and 3 Rock Stalker Fangs
Rewards : Major Healing Potion / Major Mana Potion

[57] Stepping Up Security
Objectives : Kill 20 Dredge Crushers
Rewards : Major Healing Potion / Major Mana Potion

[57] Desert Recipe
Objectives : Look for information about cooking Sandworm Meat at the Twilight's Hammer camp
Rewards : Smoked Desert Dumplings Recipe

For these three you want to head west out of Cenarion Hold, and again the mobs you need are pretty much everywhere. I made my way to the Twilight's Hammer camp first, killing any mobs I passed on the way. I'm not sure, but you may need cooking to pick up the 3rd quest.

What you are looking for is a sandy cookbook and I found mine on a table next to a 'Wind Stone'. Once I had the book, I made my way south east to the edge of Hive Regal, that is where I found the best spot to hunt the Scorpids and Spiders.

The Stonelash Flayers are the greeny / blue scorpids, while the Stonelash Pincers are more yellowy. The Rock Stalkers are the tiny spiders. I found just out from Hive Regal was a good spot that had all three so I hung there for a while, before making my way back to Cenarion Hold. Of course I killed any Dredge Crushers I passed, you can't miss them, they are huge!

[60] Secret Communication
Objectives : Collect 10 Encrypted Twilight Texts
Rewards : XP!

There are probably lots of little spots that people go to for these, however not very familiar with Silithus, I made my way north to Twilight's Run, well actually, just in front of it. I had zero problems single pulling all the mobs around the edge, and had a fairly ok drop rate. I have heard some horror stories about drop rates, only hindered by the fact these are farmed by lots of different people.

[60+] Dearest Natalia
Objectives : Question the inhabitants of Bronzebeard's Encampment
Rewards : XP!

Although marked with an Elite tag, this quest is extremely easy and in no way dangerous. When you arrive at the Encampment you will see two Dwarves there, all you need to do is have a chat with them. The following step sends you into the Hive Regal which IS full of elite mobs, and as such I didn't do.

[58] Noggle's Lost Satchel
Objectives : Retrieve Noggle's Satchel
Rewards : 2 x Elixir of the Mongoose OR 2 x Elixir of the Sages

Just behind the Bronzebeard's Encampment, you will see a path heading up into the mountains, Noggle's Satchel is up there. On this path however, is Deathclasp, and he's got that name for a reason! There is a quest to kill him, however he is elite, comes with two adds and stuns… after being completely mauled by him, I skipped that quest =p

Both him and his entourage wander, so you can do some nifty moves and easily skip past him. The Satchel is about half way up, on your left. Grab and run like the wind bullseye! (Sorry just watched Toy Story 2)

[57] Kitchen Assistance
Objectives : Create 10 Smoked Desert Dumplings
Rewards : XP!

(Again I'm not sure if you need cooking for these quests). After you have returned the sandy cookbook, Calandrath asks you to create 10 Smoked Desert Dumplings. The Sandworm meat drops from the… you guessed it, Sandworms.

[58] The Twilight Mystery
Objectives : Collect 8 Twilight Tablet Fragments.
Rewards : XP!

For this quest you want to head up the very North West part of the zone, where you will find the Elementals guarding the area. Overall I had very little trouble with this quest.

With only elite quests left, and a little sick of all the people, I called it a day for Silithus.

Eastern Plaguelands

Started at level 59
Finished at level 60

I was actually almost to 60 by the time I left Silithus, but as I didn't want to grind the last quarter, I made my way to Eastern Plaguelands. If you have the flight path, you can take a bat there, but as I came in from the Zepplin anyway, I just ran through Western Plaguelands. The firsts quests I got were from that side of the zone anyway…

[56] Blood Tainted Skies
Objectives : Slay 30 Plaguebats
Rewards : XP!

[56] Carrion Grubbage
Objectives : Collect 15 Slabs of Carrion Worm Meat
Rewards : XP!

[56] Demon Dogs
Objectives : Kill 20 Plaguehound Runts, 5 Plaguehounds and 5 Frenzied Plaguehounds
Rewards : XP!

You collect all three of these quests from Tirion Fordring who is found up along the river that joins the Plaguelands. I tend to grab these and just do them as I run around, the mobs for all three are everywhere. All the grubs can drop the meat, however the 'slugs' over to the east can have a better drop rate, sometimes two at a time.

The Plaguebats and Plaguehound Runts are more over to the west side of the zone, but there are so many of them you really shouldn't have any troubles. For the frenzied and normal plaguehounds, you want to head futher east.

[55] Sister Pamela
Objectives : Find Pamela Redpath
Rewards : XP!

[55] Pamela's Doll
Objectives : Find Find Pamela's doll
Rewards : XP!

The first step I had from Winterspring. You will find Pamela in Darrowshire, at the ruined house right at the back. Once you speak to her, she will ask you to retrieve her doll, which is in three parts. The head, the left side and the right side can spawn in any of the other three houses and when you get right click each part, you will spawn 1 or 2 ghosts.

Kill the ghosts, loot the doll parts and right click to combine once you have all three.

[56] Auntie Marlene
Objectives : Speak with Marlene
Rewards : XP!

[56] Uncle Carlin
Objectives : Find Carlin Redpath
Rewards : XP!

After you have returned the doll to Pamela, she asks you to seek out her Auntie and Uncle. Auntie Marlene is actually in Western Plaguelands, at Sorrow Hill which is just south east of the Ruins of Andorhal. There is a house just next to a graveyard and you will find Marlene inside, usually upstairs.

After you speak to Marlene, you are given a second step; A Strange Historian. Joseph's wedding ring is found outside in the graveyard, there will be one grave you can loot. When you have the ring, take it to Chromie. I didn't do the next part…

Carlin Redpath can be found at Light's Hope Chapel, which is also where you will find the flight path if you haven't already grabbed it.

And that…dinged me 60! There are lots of other quests available that I didn't do, and it just goes to show you really can solo your way to 60.

And Ladys And Gentlemen, That is the end

If you are a skinner you make even more gold.

In winterspring where the elite dragons are you can make alot of gold
They have a pretty high drop rate of Mature Blue Dragon Sinew that sells for 300-400g depending on your server but on my server they sell for 300-400g. They also drop lots of grey that you can vendor for some g, And plenty greens to. If you don't already have 16 slots bags you will get yours there to
I've got pretty much of Traveler's Backpack. That sell for 18-25g at AH depending on your server as always

If you are a skinner you get alot of rugged leather and blue dragonscales.
And they also drop silver from 14-20s, They are easy to kill solo also, I'm a shaman with decent gear killing them with no problems.

My exact amount of gold right now is 3453g

I hope this will help all those poor guys out there.

1 Eye of Kajal (Drop - http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=11753 )

Libram of Focus
Hand in: Lorekeeper Lydros - Dire Maul
Reward: +8 healing and damage from spells
1 Pristine Black Diamond
4 Large Brilliant Shards
2 Skin of Shadow (Drop - http://thottbot.com/?i=21577 )

Libram of Protection
Hand in: Lorekeeper Lydros - Dire Maul
Reward: +1% to dodge
1 Pristine Black Diamond
2 Large Brilliant Shards
1 Frayed Abomination Stitching (Drop in Strath and anyone who's done a Baron run will know about these)

Libram of Rapidity
Hand in: Lorekeeper Lydros - Dire Maul
Reward: +1% haste to attacks (ranged/melee)
1 Pristine Black Diamond
2 Large Brilliant Shards
2 Blood of Heroes (ground spawn in WPL/EPL, spawns 1-2 60 elite ghosts)

From a quick glance it looks to me that the Dire Maul quests just aren't worth it, not unless you know where to farm Pristine Black Diamonds (and if you do know… SHARE THE INFO DAMMIT )

To get the plants for Voracity & Constitution:
A: http://thottbot.com/?q=1240
H: http://thottbot.com/?q=1087
Basically kill a lot of trees in the cave at Felwood 56,17
You get given a lantern to help with the second part.

The quests are called "Salve via XXXXXXXXXX"
A: http://thottbot.com/?s=Arathandris+Silversky
H: http://thottbot.com/?s=Maybess+Riverbreeze
There are different ways to get the hand in items for the second part… I chose hunting to make life easy and just farmed the Deadwood guys in the bottom SW corner of Felwood (also good for Timbermaw rep).

Then you have to find the plant and use 3 salve on it… then just pick up the item from the now uncorrupted plant (I got 9 Whipping Root Tubers than 8 tubers from the plant in the Jadefire Felsworn / Satyr camp west of the Emerald Sanctuary).

(the above Libram information was all collated by me from sketchy resources)
(ps no I'm not back writing guides for MPS.. this is just something I've already done elsewhere and thought you'd like it )

This paragraph is the exact same text for all my solo and group PvE templates, so after you read this once you can just skip it for other classes. These are my templates for what I consider the best viable templates for PvE purposes ONLY. A solo template is assuming that you never plan on grouping. A group template assumes that you are in a group 100% of the time, such as end game instances. I have also been asked to provide info on what skills should be taken at which levels, this is really difficult as it would depend on exact individual play styles. However, I put a number in parenthesis before each skill, this number is the level that I would take the skill at, of course this is extremely prejudiced because it is based on my own play style. Of course if you think you have a better template please share it with us.

Warrior solo PvE(this is a 2H template do not try this with 1H/Shield)

So, you want to be the Emeril Lugassi of wow. Follow this little write up and you will be hollering BAM in no time.

Fishing and Cooking go hand in hand. You can get your cooking skill from zero to 300 in a matter of days if you start out post level 40 (level required to get the artisan cooking quest), and already have a high enough fishing skill to support it. Just stay on the orange recipes and upgrade your cookbook regularly and you will hit 300 cooking skill in no time. You can also do this with minimal cost. You will have to pay for the recipes and whatever ingredients needed to cook them. Most fish, however, can be cooked with no needed ingredients. All you need is a fire, any fire, of any color. Almost every camp I went to had a fire of some sort that could be used for cooking. No, you can’t use torches.

When you read through the rest of this write up, you will have to keep something in mind. I use a fishing bot. Whether you do or don’t agree with botting is not an issue that I care to take up. This write up is for getting your cooking skill up by using what you get from fishing, regardless of how you get your fish.

You can get the fishing bot I use here: http://www.multiplayerstrategies.com/ms/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=27044&categoryid=20

Here is another one: http://www.multiplayerstrategies.com/ms/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=27824&categoryid=20

You can get some info on fishing quests and skill npc’s here: http://www.multiplayerstrategies.com/ms/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=29299&categoryid=20

Ok, first you need to get some recipes. Please pay attention to faction notes. The list goes in order from easiest to hardest, and with consideration given to the fishing skill needed to get it. There is an enormous mix of fish caught in different areas, so it is nearly impossible to list them all with an area breakdown. You can raise your fishing skill by 20 if you want to go loot crab traps right next to Shadowprey Village in Desolace. Here is the pole: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=2950

I would recommend filling your bags with enough recipes to get you all the way to level 300. When you hit level 225 in cooking and are level 40 you can head to Gadgetzan and do the quest that allows you to get to level 300. WARNING: The quest was bugged back when I did it. I was able to raise my skill above 225 after doing it, but some people could not. So fair warning, I don’t know if it is still bugged or not.

That quest is here: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=6610 It is for both alliance and horde.

Ok Back to the fishing. Master list: http://www.thotbott.com/?t=Cooking or http://wow.allakhazam.com/dyn/skills/skillline185.html

Easy to catch and cook: Skill format is learned/green/trivial.

Slither Skin Mackerel: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=735 1/45/85

Brilliant Smallfish: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=394 1/45/85

Rainbow Fin Albacore: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=2086 50/80/130

Longjaw Mud Snapper: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=734 50/80/130

Deviate Fish: THE COOLEST FISH EVER!!! : http://www.thotbott.com/?i=4710 85/125/165. Be sure to stock up on this one for hours and hours of fun. You will have to spend some money on ingredients to cook it though.

Bristle Whisker Catfish: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=733 100/140/180

Mithril Head Trout: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=Mithril%20Head%20Trout 175/215/255

Redgill: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=10072 225/265/305

Spotted Yellowtail: http://www.thotbott.com/?i=730 225/265/305

Here is some stuff you get from fishing that will provide some stats when cooked:

Grilled Squid (10 Agility): http://www.thotbott.com/?i=10066

Glossy Mightfish (10 Stamina): http://www.thotbott.com/?i=5184

Summer Bass (10 Spirit): http://www.thotbott.com/?i=10076

Nightfin Snapper (8 mana/ 5seconds): http://www.thotbott.com/?i=5766

Sunscale Salmon (6 health/5 seconds): http://www.thotbott.com/?i=10334

While fishing you will catch various things that don’t cook but will either sell in the AH or you can use towards your tradeskills. Firefin Snapper, Oily Blackmouth, and Stonescale Eel are all used in Alchemy and sell decently in the AH. Black Pearls, Iridescent Pearls, and gold Pearls sell good and are looted from various clams. Remember, this is just an added benefit, so don’t ever think that fishing will make you rich by selling what you catch.
