El's Professions - World of Warcraft Guides

Updated: Thanks to Hoddie and Kaliope, we now have some detail about catches in Mount Hyjal, Uldum and Twilight Highlands. Any more discoveries or catch data greatly appreciated - further discussion.

Thanks to Kaliope and Ladik, we now have information about likely new cooked fish dishes and buffs, (even cooking skill). Only the recipes are confirmed - I have guessed which ingredients will be caught. Beta also added a +100 Feathered Lure (which is cooked) and an intriguing Not Yet Implemented Fishing Spear - "Use: Hurls your spear at a fish." Complete cataclysm information.

The latest Cataclysm beta adds new Inscription spells to create Alchemy Tarot, used to raise Alchemy skill. Scribes make Journeyman Alchemist's Tarot using Greater Healing Potion, Elixir of Defense, Jadefire Ink, and Common Parchment. But unusually, "Each time this item is created, either the potion or the elixir is consumed, but never both." The result is likely to be similar to an Alchemy Tarot - "Permanently increases your skill in Alchemy by 1, up to a maximum of 150." These are incomplete and unfinished, but it looks like Scribes might gain a way to help others level professions.

Public (invite-only) Cataclysm testing has now started. There are almost no fishing changes yet: Known Cataclysm fishing information is here. Details will also appear in the Cataclysm Fish Finder, which is currently just a copy of the live Fish Finder. Please let us know of any new information, via the Forums or email. You can now discuss anything about Cataclysm on the forums freely, because the NDA has been lifted. (Apologies to anglers that had a "leak" post deleted.)
