One of the things you need to consider when switching to a crafting profession before L40 is the cost of your mount (no worries, if you are a 'lock or pally). You'll have to save quite a bit of gold to afford it. So, if you are spending gold on materials for your skill, will that impede your efforts to gain a mount? If the answer is no, then continue as you are. If the answer is yes, then you either need to delay levelling your crafting or revert to skinning. Of course, you can always fish. As you can tell from my other posts, I'm a big proponent of fishing. Done right, fishing will support any profession, even if it's a money sink.

Try one of these people if you're on Horde:

Armand Cromwell: Undercity
Kah Mistrunner: Thunderbluff
Lumak: Orgrimmar

On Alliance:
Arnold Leland: Stormwind
Astaia: Darnassus
Grimnur Stonebrand: Ironforge
Harold Riggs: Wetlands
Matthew Hooper: Redridge Mountains

Even though this is in the trade skills forum...

What's the easiest way for a Lvl 13 warrior to make it from Stormwind to Darnassus? I heard something along the lines of heading to Ironforge, and I need to get there for a mission, anyway, but it's practically impossibly to walk there.

I've only got Gryphon flight paths to Sentinel Hill and Lakeshire, sooo... yeah.

Thanks in advance.

Scratch that. I finally found it.

can i solo deadmines as a 36 mage? i just have so little armor that i'm curious as to whether i'd die a lot or not.

HOW I MINE FOR FISH?

On a serious note, are there 'ideal' places to fish for skillup, or just fish wherever and whatever, preferrably targeting areas/schools that have fish that you might need for other uses (cooking, etc)? The sticky just talks about where to find the trainers, so I'm still not clear on that.

or Menethil harbor, for Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper, if you are alliance.

As far as I know, the six-slotter is the only bag able to be made by leatherworkers. The rest are made by tailors.

100% correct


yes, it starts like a rocket, but eventaly you will only get a single skill add about every 8-10 fish you successfully hook.


Not one dang bit, acuatly you increase the likelyhood of your fish "Getting Away", and that dose not count as a successfull catch for the addvancment of your skill. That is not to imply that you should only ever fish from a city, but to not try and level the trade in a zone that is far beyond your fishing level.


a random test that becomes more and more difficult the higher to 300 you get. for example, when you are at fishing level 1 essentlay it has to beat a roll of 0 out of 101 for you to get a skill add, yet by 150 the game has to beat a roll of 50 for you to get a skillup, by the time you are at 299 it is like a roll of 90 the game has to beat for a skillup.

Hope that helps.

How do I get to the Backdoor for Uldamann?

Man o Man that rock Mob that guards the back door is a gaint Pain in the butt. I had soloed him on my druid meny times, but then i learned the hard lession on my lock, that chump reflects spells!!!!

Why do I cry myself to sleep at night?


But seriously, ignoring the fact that the answer would be server and ecconomy dependant, what are some good recipies to use to skill up cooking past 150 for a lvl 29 toon?

one of the more empty zones of leveling cooking, at 150 there are only 2 choices to get you to 175. Heavy Crocolisk Stew and Tasty Lion Steak, that it.... Kind of cheap if you ask me. What sucks even more is that there is no choice in it, you get one or the other, dependent on faction.

While it is possible that somebody placed the recipes up on the Netrual AH, generaly speaking you will only see one or the other.

The Recipe "Tasty Lion Steak" is mostly for the alliance you get it by completeing the quest :Costly Menace" in Hillsbrad Foothills.

The Recipe "Heavy Crocolisk Stew" is mostly for the horde it is far less difficutlt to get, you jsut go see Ogg'marr the butcher in Dustwallow Marsh.


As a side note selling the recipe for Heavy Crocolisk stew is a way for horde players to make money, I can usualy post one for a gold on GAZ AH and it usualy sells.

I am the wrong guy to ask, Hell ya drop smithing and take up Engineering, if you can make the bulk of your cash elsewhere, then the fine art of blowing crap up is for you. By far the most "Fun" profession in the game. But i am a bomb addict, so make you own choices, yet if you ask me, i am right!!!!

ummm... i am still a noob to this game and im wondering...is there anyway to make a good profit using blacksmithing, i have been looking at items you can make and some things take about 12-18 arcanite bars and they are 40G ea on my server, even is there anyway to make money at 300 blacksmithing and if there is can you tell me what spesific items and explain a bit. Also if mining would help because i see that mining wouldent you just sell the materials raw insead.
