El's Professions - World of Warcraft Guides // News // World News

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.

I have around 1,100g, and though it fluctuates up to 2,000 at some points, recently, I'm at a low. I am a 450 alchemist and a 250 jewelcrafter, though that's on hold due to lack of funds to buy things to level with. I've looked at different ways of making money with my profession, but none seem to work. I just don't understand how people can make all this gold and easily equip themselves with things needed for raiding, when I can barely afford gemming and enchanting new piece of gear.

• Bone Gaming Dice Dwarves love gold and dwarves love drinking, so gaming seemed like a natural fit for both. These dice appear to have been carved from sheep bones. What might be dried blood is still visible on the 5 pip.
• Cloak Clasp with Antlers This clasp is fashioned of lacquered wood carved to resemble stag antlers. On the reverse is engraved the name "Pyramond" in Darnassian.
• Fossilized Hatchling When you finished assembling this tiny skeleton through some eldritch magic, the little critter sprang back to life. He's a pretty good pet. Since he's a skeleton he doesn't eat much.
• Wooden Whistle A small whistle carved from oak. It might have been used to summon a pet or mount or possibly used as a child's toy. It appears to have been chewed on by an animal or young dwarf.

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.)
