Fishing for Gold in Cataclysm

Fishing is boring. Very, very boring. It isn’t so painful if you’re using it to level your cooking at the same time, but it still hurts. However, there is a payoff in that you can take advantage of people’s loathing for the profession and make some sweet, sweet gold. Make those folks pay for all the time you’ve wasted while you cast your line into the water over, and over, and over, and over, and over…

There are three fish in Cataclysm that I’ve found to sell very well:

Fathom Eel: These are fished up in pools commonly found along the coastal shoreline in Uldum. They are also found in Tol Barad, along the north section where the fishermen are located. If you are familiar with the zone, you know where I’m talking about. They’re used in two beneficial recipes: Skewered Eel (Agi/Sta), and a component for Seafood Magnifique Feast – a raid/party buff food that provides 90 Sta & 90 in a Beneficial Stat. Wild card food!

Algaefin Rockfish: Found along the shore of Twilight Highland, these fish are used to whip up Baked Rockfish (Crit/Sta)

Deepsea Sagefish: There’s two reasons why this fish is so valuable. The first is that it isn’t fished from pools. This fish you have to get in open water (Twilight Highlands & Uldum are your best bets). The second reason is that this fish is used in two recipes that are invaluable to casters: Delicious Sagefish Tail (Spirit/Sta), and Severed Sagefish Head (Int/Sta).

This is Herc the Merc, wishing you Happy Casting, and Merry Christmas.

Cataclysm Rep Gear for Plate DPS

Dec 21

Shirts available HERE

With gearscore now being used by Blizzard to determine who gets into Heroics, what you wear is almost as important as what you do. Having run some of the regular instances, I can tell you that you want to be on your toes when you step into a Cataclysm dungeon. You want to be smart, and still manage to pour out mass quantities of sustained DPS.

You also want to pick up some decent gear so you don’t suck.

Now, if you’ve done what Blizzard hoped and actually gone through the entire questline in each of the new zones, you will have at least Honored rep with the applicable factions. That’s enough to buy a tabard, as well as pick up a piece of gear or two that might help your stats. This is a list, originally compiled by WoW Insider’s Warrior columnist Matthew Rossi, of the rep items you should look at picking up. The list was designed for Warriors, but Death Knights can benefit from the selections as well. If you’re interested in tanking, Rossi included suitable tank gear in his original post.
