Wheres Waldo?

The closest I could find...

It all depends on your level. Up until Level 25 or so, Oily Blackfin, Firefin Snapper, and Deviate Fish are the way to make money from fishing. 3G/hour is a very good rate for making gold at that level, and people who don't fish consider you rich.

As far as the Rainbow Fin Albacore go, get the recipe and use them to level your cooking until the recipe turns gray. After that, stop catching them by casting without putting them into your sacks. At that point, they are just space wasters. You will always be catching fish that you don't want in your packs. The best thing to do with them is to ignore them.

When you get to around level 25, your fishing skill should be maxed (or close to it) at 225. That's your signal to head for Tanaris and start fishing for The big money fish - Stonescale Eels. Buy lures ahead of time, because there isn't any place in Tanaris to purchase them. Again, you'll find that you will have to throw away many other types of fish, but you'll be making a lot more gold.


There are two ways to open locked boxes:

1) Contact a rogue who can open it for you.
2) Contact a blacksmith who has the correct type of key.

Actually Onicus, the Thorium Belt and bracers are about as cheap a recipe as you can find at that level. The other choice is Imperial plate, which takes twice as much thorium as well as gemstones which are much rarer than the Un'Goro power crystals. The Imperial plate does, however, occasionally actually sell on the AH.

You've just reached the level where continuing to level your crafting profession costs a lot without much payback.

I guess I am lost, what is the pull to armorsmithing?

in May of 05, my pally leveled smithing(IMHO more difficult than enchanting)and when it came time to pick a spec, I looked at Alla as well as some other resources, I posted questions on the forums, and asked folks in game, and everybody and there brother told me armorsmithing because thats "Where the Money is" and that "It is the only one that is USEFULL". While something did not seem right about the whole thing I folowed suite and jumped in to armorsmithing.... WORST MISTAKE EVER.(From My View)

I am not implying that a weaponsmith has it eazyer leveling to 300, for all I know it is more difficult(looks about the same to me, as far as mats are concerned). the diffrences is Everybody and there borther is a freeking armorsmith, but why? I mean what is it about armorsmithing that has such a huge draw, and what inspires others to encourag others to take the armorsmithing route?

Is it that one player has greater access to more epics than if they took weaponsmithing? for greater options? Since most of the items in Armorsmithing seem to be geared for MC, and requrie mats from MC it leaves me a little lost(since we all know that bliz has added enough FR gear in the game to make some of that stuff mostly pointless. It just seems armorsmihting was a tool used to get a guild ready for the second half of MC(assuming that they were "Farming" the first half for mats). With the growth of the game and equptmennt, as well as the profliration of knowlage and where to find gear needed it seems most of the stuff is.... outdated.

That is not to say that armorsmithing is useless, actualy some of the stuff is amazing, but honestly not much more than weaponsmith stuff....

Any input?

You need to find a niche. I'm not a blacksmith, but my wife made a lot of gold selling Moonsteel Broadswords. They sold because they are quest items and non-smiths need them.
