Dark Herring and Dustbringer
Northrend anglers can catch 2 very rare fish:
- Dark Herring – A fish dagger. Caught from at least open inland water in Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjord, plus Fangtooth Herring School. Completes the achievement, “One That Didn’t Get Away”.
- Dustbringer – Another dagger, the “Blade of the Crimson Landlord.” Learn more about the Ash…Dustbringer in Valuable Gear. Nat Pagle still has a lot of explaining to do!
Special thanks to everyone who has been posting about rare catches on the forums.
Salty World Firsts
After barely 24 hours of being able to reach Northrend, the first Salty titles have been awarded. Congratulations to Neuport, Butternugs, and everyone else who earns “Salty” so quickly!
Realm First Anglers
It has been confirmed that the first angler to 450 fishing skill on each realm is announced to both factions, and gains a Feat of Strength. Congratulations to everyone that makes it!

El’s Anglin’ Updated for WotLK
Busy packing warm clothing for a trip to Northrend on 13th November? El’s Extreme Anglin’ has been completely updated with Wrath of the Lich King information. The biggest changes are:
- Training – Including a new 350-450 cooking and fishing leveling guide. A guide to Dalaran Daily Cooking Quests has been added.
- Valuable Fish – Many new valuable catches, from buff food to minipets.
Please post about anything you find confusing or inaccurate on the forums.
Patch 3.0.3 and Northrend Leveling
- El’s Inscription has been updated with expected changes in patch 3.0.3. Most important, leveling from skill 290 is now much easier.
- A 350-450 Inscription leveling guide has been added to the training chapter for Northrend scribes. I recommend you stop leveling at skill 430, and simply research: Power-leveling to 450 is possible, but currently requires a lot of materials.
