Alchemy Guide 1 to 300 by Ithilian on EU - Shadowsong

About this guide.

This guide will show you how to get your alchemy skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 265 and vendor available recipes from 265 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require herbs and vendor bought material (vials).

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipes from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you. This guide will not tell you what to do with the potions you make either.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high-level alts, friends or guild members.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of herbs. Create an alt storage character to store these herbs and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the herbs needed. Use the in game mail system to send the herbs to the storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the herbs back.

Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be sent back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e. Peacebloom and Silverleaf are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the Briarthorn, Mageroyal, etc.

The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as vials. These cost gold. To learn recipes from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is approximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the herbs. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 225 gold. This does not include gold for recipes from vendors or the auction house.

Below is a table that shows the amount of herbs needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't always get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of herbs on your storage character. If you are buying all the herbs you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Peacebloom 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)

Silverleaf 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)

Mageroyal 15 (1 stacks) 20 (1 stacks)

Briarthorn 80 (4 stacks) 90 (5 stacks)

Stranglekelp 40 (2 stacks) 50 (3 stacks)

Bruiseweed 30 (2 stacks) 35 (2 stacks)

Wild Steelbloom 5 (1 stacks) 10 (1 stacks)

Kingsblood 30 (2 stacks) 40 (2 stacks)

Liferoot 30 (2 stacks) 40 (2 stacks)

Goldthorn 45 (3 stacks) 50 (2 stacks)

Khadgar's Whisker 15 (1 stacks) 20 (1 stacks)

Sungrass 60 (3 stacks) 70 (4 stacks)

Blindweed 30 (2 stacks) 35 (2 stacks)

Arthas' Tears 20 (1 stacks) 25 (2 stacks)

Golden Sansam 40 (2 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)

Mountain Silversage 20 (1 stacks) 30 (2 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Getting from 1 to 50 is easy enough. Make 60 minor healing potions. This should get you to skill 60. You need at least skill 55 for the next step; so don't worry if you didn't get to 60. Keep the minor healing potions, you will need them later.

Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Alchemist. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Alchemist.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Item From - To

1 Minor Healing Potion 0 - 60 (60)

Getting from 50 to 125

Use the minor healing potions made earlier to make lesser healing potions to get to 110. If you didn't reach 110, make elixirs of wisdom until you do.

At 110 you can train the healing potion recipe. Make those until skill 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Alchemist. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Alchemist.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Skill Item From - To

55 Lesser Healing Potion 60 - 110 (50)

90 Elixir of Wisdom 105 - 110 (5)

110 Healing Potion 110 - 125 (15)

Getting from 125 to 200

Make some more healing potions to get to skill 140. Make lesser mana potions to get to 155, greater healing potions to get to 185 and elixirs of agility to get to 200.

Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Alchemist. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Alchemist.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Skill Item From - To

110 Healing Potion 125 - 140 (15)

120 Lesser Mana Potion 140 - 155 (15)

155 Greater Healing Potion 155 - 185 (30)

185 Elixir of Agility 185 - 200 (15)

Getting from 200 to 265

Make some more elixirs of agility to get to 210. Make elixirs of greater defence until 215 and then make superior healing potions until 230. Make elixirs of detect undead to get to 250 and elixir of greater agility to get to 265.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 265.

Skill Item From - To

185 Elixir of Agility 200 - 210 (10)

195 Elixir of Greater Defence 210 - 215 (5)

215 Superior Healing Potion 215 - 230 (15)

230 Elixir of Detect Undead 230 - 250 (20)

240 Elixir of Greater Agility 250 - 265 (15)

Getting from 265 to 300

Although you can get to 300 using the elixir of detect demon recipe, the Gromsblood needed is expensive when bought from the auction house so I decided to use vendor available recipe's to get from 265 to 300.

Get the superior mana potion recipe from Ulthir in Darnassus or Algernon in Undercity and the major healing potion recipe from Evie Whirlbrew in Everlook.

Make superior mana potion to get to skill 285 and major healing potions to get to 300.

Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in alchemy.

This table shows the different recipes that are available through vendors to get from 265 to 300.

Skill Item From - To

260 Superior Mana Potion 265 - 285 (20)

275 Major Healing Potion 280 - 300 (20)

This table shows who and where the different vendors are for the previously mentioned recipe's.

What Who Where

Superior Mana Potion Ulthir (Alliance Faction)

Algernon (Horde Faction) Darnassus

Undercity

Major Healing Potion Evie Whirlbrew (Neutral) Everlook in Winterspring

Blacksmithing Guide by Willhelm on US-Argent Dawn

Original post here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=wow-professions&T=1&P=4

Raising Blacksmith Skill

You will want to equip yourself and your friends as your skill rises. If you keep your skill at 25 plus five times your level then you will always be able to make items you can equip at their minimum level. Outside of the items you make because you want to, or to fulfil the Blacksmith quests, there are a series of minimum-material items you can make to advance your skill, mostly consisting of stone, misc. items, and some low-material armour items.

Apprentice Blacksmithing Path:

This is done mostly with stone, saving your copper and bronze bars until later except when you need to equip yourself or your friends or clients. Make Rough Sharpening Stones (turns green at 15 and grey at 55) until you reach 25 and learn Rough Grinding Stones. (Save and use those Sharpening Stones as a combat buff.) Make Rough Grinding Stones (turns green at 45 and grey at 85) until you reach skill 65, keeping them for use later in making other items. Make Coarse Sharpening Stones (green when learned at 65, grey at 80) until you reach 75 and are a Journeyman. Copper items useful as skillups include Copper Bracers (2 copper bars, green at 20), Copper Chain Pants (4 copper bars, green at 50) and Copper Chain Belt (6 copper bars, green at 75).

Journeyman Blacksmithing Path:

At 75 you learn Coarse Grinding Stone, which are green when learned. Make those until they turn grey at 100 and save them for making further items. Turn any tin and copper into bronze bars but save them. Make Silver Rods until they turn green at 105 (and sell them to Enchanters) then make Rough Bronze Leggings (with your saved bronze bars) until they turn green at 145 or even to grey at grey at 175. These take 6 Bronze Bars and sell to the vendors for 9.62 s each, so if you can buy stacks of 20 Bronze Bars for 30 s or less, you can actually make a profit while you skill up. Also at 125 you learn Heavy Grinding Stone. Make these until they turn grey at 150 and keep them for making other items. If you are able to learn the Deadly Bronze Poniard dropped plan at 125 then you can make and sell it at a profit until it turns green at 155 and grey at 185. The Patterned Bronze Bracer (green at 150) is required for a Badlands quest. At 145 you learn to make your first rare (blue) item, the Shining Silver Breastplate (green at 175) which sells well.

Expert Blacksmithing Path:

Beginning at 150, make Rough Bronze Leggings until they turn grey at 175. Iron Buckles are easy but turn grey at 155, while Golden Rods turn green at 155 and grey at 160. Golden skeleton keys are green when learned and grey at 170. You will want to equip yourself and friends with the Green Iron Set and that will provide some skillups. If you are lucky enough to learn the Iron Shield Spike plan at 150 then you can make and sell these at a good profit until they turn green at 180 and grey at 210. Another profitable drop is the Iron Counterweight, green at 190 and grey at 210. At 200 you learn Solid Grinding Stone so make those until they turn grey at 210. To get from 210 to 225, make Golden Scale Bracers to 215, then make Steel Plate Helms to 225. You will also be equipping yourself with the Golden Scale armour set and the Moonsteel Broadsword is required for a quest in Duskwallow Marsh. A number of expert weapons and armours are saleable, including the rare Green Iron Hauberk at 180 (green at 205, grey at 230).

Artisan Blacksmithing Path:

At 225 make Steel Plate Helms until it turns green at 235. Then make Mithril Spurs to 250 (turns green at 255). At 250 make Dense Sharpening Stones until they turn grey at 260. The Heavy Mithril and Ornate Mithril armour items are good for their level, so you can also skill up some on making the mithril items for the Mithril Order quests. The Ornate Mithril Boots are popular with warriors for their remove root effect and they (and the Ornate Mithril Helm) turn green at 265. Go back to Mithril Spurs (which are readily saleable) until they turn grey at 275 and then make Thorium Bracers to 280. Now make Thorium Helms to 300. An alternative is the Imperial Plate armour set, starting with the Imperial Plate Belt and Shoulders at 265, Bracers at 270, and then Helm and Boots at 295. While these use more thorium than the Thorium armour items, they can be sold for a profit even if you buy the materials.

Specialty Path:

As an Armorsmith or Weaponsmith you can skill up making the items for your specialty Quest. Be sure to make them as soon as you learn them, and save the items to turn in for the quest, so you get your skillups. An Armorsmith can then skill up with Truesilver Gauntlets until they turn green at 245 (or grey at 265) and Truesilver Breastplate until it turns green at 265 (or grey at 285). Those are both saleable items. A Weaponsmith can gain skillups with the Shatterer, Phantom Blade, Blight and Truesilver Champion, as these are also saleable.

Comments:

There is no one best path up because it depends on which dropped plans you get a hold of, which specialty you take, and which items you can make for guild mates or sell that give skillups, which will vary by guild and server. It also depends on whether you learn every plan going up or only the bare minimum because you are trying for a truly lowest cost or fastest power-levelling run up to 300. The path I outlined is a fairly optimal approach but it does include obtaining some dropped plans at the right times.

The faster you try to skill up the more it will cost you because you are likely going to have to vendor much of it. The market can only absorb so much of any one item. Whenever possible, spread out the items you make over time or make a variety so that you do not overload the market. If you want to minimize cost by selling your items, look at the Auction House to see which desirable green or blue items that give skillups are lacking or in short supply and go for them, bypassing those that are in large supply already. Remember that an item that costs 2 g to make is better than one that costs 1 g to make if you can sell the first for a profit but the second sells for a loss.

An example of this is the Imperial Plate Armour set, all of which (except bracer) can be sold for a profit while the cheaper Thorium or Radiant armour items use less materials but do not sell.

Another way to help yourself is to have one of your characters be an Enchanter and disenchant any green item that won't sell, since you can usually then sell the resulting reagents for more than the vendor would pay for the original item. This can often make it better to make more costly green items rather than the less costly white items, since you cannot disenchant the white items.

New Blacksmith Plans:

A new plan is dropped by Garr in Molten Core: Elemental Sharpening Stone. The rare plan is Bind on Pickup, so this will be a truly rare plan. I note that the plan does not specify sharp weapons, so I wonder if it applies to all weapons or if there is also an Elemental Whetstone plan out there.

Elemental Sharpening Stone [300] Use: Increase critical chance on a melee weapon by 2% for

30 minutes, Requires Level 50 (uncommon)(Rare dropped Bind on Pickup plan from Garr in MC)

- 2 Elemental Earth, 3 Dense Stone (2.5 s)

Another new plan is:

Helm of the Great Chief [300 Armoursmith] 292 AC, +12 Stamina, +30 Spirit, L 56, Mail (Rare)(Rare drop)

- 40 Thorium Bars, 4 Enchanted Thorium Bars, 60 Jet Black Feathers, 6 Large Opals, 2 Huge Emeralds (242.85 s)

This has dropped from Lord Kazzak and from Risen Warrior.

Sulfuron Hammer:

You get the plan by turning in a Sulfuron Ingot to Lokhtos Darkbargainer in the BRD bar. No reputation is required. Sulfuron Ingots are dropped by Golemagg the Incinerator, Molten Core Boss, at a 16% rate ( once in 6 kills). When the Sulfuron Ingot is in your inventory, you will be given a new dialogue option with Lohktos Darkbargainer. Follow this dialogue through to obtain the Thorium Brotherhood Contract. http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18628

Once you have the Contract, speak with him again to turn in the Contract and the Sulfuron Ingot for the plans.

Sulfuron Hammer [300] 2H Hammer (143-239) Spd 3.00, Proc: Hurl fiery ball for 83-101 fire + 16 damage over 8 sec., L 60, 63.7 dps, (Epic, Bind on Equip)(Unique BoE plan sold by Lokhtos Darkbargainer in BRD bar for 1 Sulfuron Ingot via the Thorium Brotherhood Contract)

- 8 Sulfuron Ingots, 20 Dark Iron Bars, 50 Arcanite bars, 25 Essence of Fire, 10 Blood of the Mountain, 10 Lava Core, 10 Fiery Core.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=17193

That only requires Artisan Blacksmith, however the materials required are extreme. However, there is a reason to make it. You gather the materials to make the Sulfuron Hammer and then kill Ragnaros and get the Eye of Sulfuras drop (6% drop chance)(http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=17204)

You can then combine the Sulfuron Hammer and the Eye of Sulfuras to make this Legendary 2H Hammer:

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros 2H Mace (223-372) Spd 3.70, +12 Strength, +12 Stamina, +30 Fire Resistance, Proc: Fireball for 273-333 Fire + 75 fire over 10 sec., Equip: Deals 5 Fire to an attacker who hits you with a melee attack., L 60, 80.4 DPS (Legendary, Bind on Pickup)

Mouseover: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~jacknife/sulfuras2cb.jpg

Screenshot: http://img202.echo.cx/img202/3407/sulfuras4wm.jpg

I gather that this is not a Blacksmith plan and that anyone can turn in a Sulfuron Hammer and the Eye of Sulfuras to get Sulfuras. The Sulfuron Hammer is not BoP so it can be made and then transferred.

Fishing and Cooking 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas Thats me!

Thought I'd put together a fishing and cooking guide, as I see a lot of people asking about both.

If you want to just level up your cooking then you can use my cooking guide found here: http://forums-en.wow-europe.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-tradeskills-en&t=40545&p=1&tmp=1#post40561

Be warned though, that it is more expensive to just do your cooking.

For more information on Fishing, checkout Razorfold's excellent guide on the US forums: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-professions&t=305128&p=1&tmp=1#post305128

Firstly let me put the next sentence in capitals as it's a fairly important concept to grasp.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU FISH, YOUR SKILL UP RATE WILL NOT CHANGE. YOUR SKILL UP RATE IS DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF SUCCESSFUL CATCHES, NOT BY THE AREA YOU FISH IN OR BY THE QUALITY OF FISH THAT YOU CATCH

*NEW* Skill Up Formula

You skill up by number of succesful catches. The equation is apx. as follows: (current unmodified fishing level - 75) / 25 = total # of fish required to level, with a minimum of 1 fish per catch. (see below for table)

Originally posted by Noressa on the US forums

So, with that knowledge, you'll realise that you can skill up fishing from 1 to 300 by fishing the water of your factions city. The reason for the different locations mentioned in this guide, is for you to be able to skill up your cooking aswell.

I've combined both fishing and cooking in this guide, as they compliment each other very well and if your going to skill up your fishing, you might aswell skill up your cooking with all the fish you'll be catching.

N.B. it will take you a minimum of 11 hours to complete this, but more likely about 14-15.

Also, please be aware that this is not a fully comprehensive guide to both cooking and fishing and was never intended to be. The sole purpose of this guide is to level up your cooking and fishing in the quickest way possible. If you want a guide that covers almost everything about these two skills then please check out Draznar's excellent guides here:

Fishing - http://wow.toshimo.com/viewtopic.php?t=272

Cooking - http://wow.toshimo.com/viewtopic.php?t=273

So let's start:

Go to your fishing trainer and cook and pick up Fishing and Cooking skills.

Buy a fishing rod and a stack of shiny baubles (a lure that adds +25 to your fishing skill).

Your now ready to begin.

Horde

Best place to start is in Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore.

Go speak to Harn Longcast and buy Brilliant Smallfish and Longjaw Mud Snapper recipes off of him. Now start fishing in Stonebull Lake.

Equip your rod and then apply the shiny bauble lure to it, as this will make catching fish easier.You'll want to catch about 60 Brilliant Smallfish and this should take about 40 minutes. You'll find that by the time you have caught 60 Brilliant Smallfish, you'll also have about 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers. Once you have 60, cook them. You can either build your own fire or jog back to Harn Longcast and use the fire in front of him. Cook the Brilliant Smallfish, then at level 50 start cooking Longjaw Mud Snappers (after learning the recipe you bought earlier).

You'll need to go and catch Longjaw Mud Snappers now and the best place for these is the pond in Orgrimmar by Lumark the Fishing trainer (I know you've been catching quite a few where you are, but the "drop rate" is a lot better in Orgrimmar).

Between levels 50 and 75 go learn journeyman fishing and cooking.

You'll now need to catch about 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers to get your cooking up to 100.

Now go to Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad and buy Bristle Whisker Catfish recipe off of Derak Nightfall.

Go to the river to the East of Tarren Mill and fish for Bristle Whisker Catfish. Depending on your cooking level, your going to need about 80-100 of these to get it up to 175.

Bewtween levels 125 and 150 go to Shadowprey Village in Desolace and buy Expert Cookbook. You'll need to go to Booty Bay and buy a book for your Fishing level. Speak to Old Man Heming and buy the book Expert Fishing: The Bass and You.

Once your up to 175 cooking, go to Shadowprey Village in Desolace. Speak to Wulan and buy Mithril Head Trout recipe and start fishing on the pier there. Your going to need about 60 of these to get your cooking up to level 225.

At this point you should now have level 225 fishing and level 225 cooking. If your not level 35 yet, then this is as far as you can go. If you are level 35+ then you have two quests to complete before you can continue.

First quest: Cooking

Requirements: Level 35, 225 Cooking.

Go to Gadgetzan in Tanaris and speak to Dirge Quikcleave. He is in the tavern. He'll want you to bring him 12 Giant Eggs, 10 Zesty Clam Meat and 20 Alterac Swiss. You should actually be able to buy the eggs and clam meat off of AH, but in case you can't here's where to find them. Now according to the quest Giant Eggs drop off of Rocs in Tanaris or any large bird. The best place I found for the eggs, was the owlbeast in The Hinterlands. Only needed to kill about 20 of these to get my 12 eggs. They are about level 43 ish, so if your not that high a level, get help or wait till you can handle them. The clam meat comes from clams, naturally! Well to save you swimming around the sea looking for clams, your better off killing turtles at Steamwheedle Port or Raventusk Village. The drop rate is quite high and you'll have your clam meat in no time. The levels are 41 ish for Steamwheedle Port and 49-50 for Raventusk Village. The Alterac Swiss is the easiest part. Go to Freewind Post in Thousand Needles and buy them off of the Inn Keeper. Hand them all in and you'll get your Artisan Cooking.

Second Quest: Fishing

Requirements: Level 35, 225 Fishing.

You need to go and find Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh. He is standing on a small island to the West of Theramore (58,60). He'll ask you to catch four rare fishes for him. This quest is actually really easy and the only hard part is the amount of travelling involved.The fish you need to catch are:

Feralas Ahi - If you ride out West from Camp Mojache and fish the Verdantis River where the small bridge is by the Ogres, you'll soon catch one.

Sar'theris Striker - Ride a little South out of Shadowprey Village and your there. Make sure the area comes up as Sar'theris Strand.

Savage Coast Blue Saffin - Just outside Grom'gol Base Camp. Make sure the area comes up as Savage Coast.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - Directly East from Stonnard. Just avoid the Murlocs.

You should catch these fish within 5 to 10 casts at each location. So it wont take long. The best order I've found to do this quest in is; (assuming you don't already have all the flightpaths) From Dustwallow, ride to the Great Lift and then head West through Thousand Needles to Camp Mojache in Feralas - From Feralas, ride North West into Desolace and onto Shadowprey Village - From Desolace, fly to Thunderbluff - Fly to XR - Fly to Orgrimmar - Get Zeppelin to Grom'Gol Base Camp - Ride North to Duskwood - Ride East to Deadwind Pass - Ride through Deadwind Pass to Swamp of Sorrows.

Now go back to Nat and get your Artisan Fishing.

There is apparently a bug with this quest, if go away from Nat BEFORE getting your fishing level to 226, the quest can bug and you'll be stuck on 225 for good. Didn't happen to me, but I've seen a few posts from people who it's happened to.

Ok, so your now at level 225 in both cooking and fishing and you've done your Artisan quests. Time for the home stretch.

Go to Steamwheedle port and speak to Gikkix, You'll want to buy the following two recipes: Spotted Yellowtail and Poached Sunscale Salmon.

Now go to Raventusk Village in the Hinterlands and fish for Spotted Yellowtails. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 225 to 250.

Now go to Bloodvenom Falls in Felwood and fish for Sunscale Salmon. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 250 to 275.

Now go to Camp Mojache in Feralas and speak to Sheendra Tallgrass and buy the recipe for Mightfish Steak. Whilst your there buy about 40 Hot Spices and 40 Soothing Spices as your going to be making the food that you will want as a level 60 (without going into instances that is). It gives a +10 stamina buff for 15mins which is always helpful.

Now go to Scalebeard's Cave in Azshara (its one of the islands to the East) and fish for Mightfish. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 275 to 300. You may need to bring some lures with you at this point, as your cooking will level up faster than your fishing and Azshara is a 250+ fishing zone. Once your cooking is a 300, keep fishing till you've maxed out that too. It will take 7 to 10 catches to get one skill up at this point, so take your time.

Alliance

Best place to start is in Elwynn Forest.

Go speak to Tharynn Bouden in Goldshire and buy the recipes for Brilliant Smallfish and Longjaw Mud Snappers. Now start fishing in Crystal Lake.

You'll want to catch about 60 Brilliant Smallfish to get your cooking from 1 to 50.

Now go to Stormwind City and fish the canals for Longjaw Mud Snappers. You'll need about 50 of them to raise your cooking to 100.

Between levels 50 and 75 go learn journeyman fishing and cooking.

Now go to Southshore and speak to Lindea Rabonne and buy the recipes for Bristle Whisker Catfish and Mithril Head Trout.

Go to the river to the east of Southshore and fish for Bristle Whisker Catfish. You'll need about 80-100 of these to get your cooking to level 175.

Bewtween levels 125 and 150 go to Shandrina by Mystral Lake in Ashenvale and buy Expert Cookbook. You'll need to go to Booty Bay and buy a book for your Fishing level. Speak to Old Man Heming and buy the book Expert Fishing: The Bass and You.

Now go to the Lakes outside Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands and fish for Mithril Head Trout. Your going to need about 60 of these to get your cooking up to level 225.

At this

Go to the Inn in Goldshire, Elwynn Forest and buy them off of the Bartender. Hand them all in and you'll get your Artisan Cooking.

Second Quest: Fishing

Requirements: Level 35, 225 Fishing.

You need to go and find Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh. He is standing on a small island to the West of Theramore (58,60). He'll ask you to catch four rare fishes for him. This quest is actually really easy and the only hard part is the amount of travelling involved.The fish you need to catch are:

Feralas Ahi - West from Camp Mojache. Fish the Verdantis River where the small bridge is by the Ogres, you'll soon catch one.

Sar'theris Striker - South or North or Shadowprey Village. Make sure the area comes up as Sar'theris Strand.

Savage Coast Blue Saffin - Just outside Grom'gol Base Camp. Make sure the area comes up as Savage Coast.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - Directly East from Stonnard. Just avoid the Murlocs.

You should catch these fish within 5 to 10 casts at each location. So it wont take long. I haven't done this quest on my Alliance character, so I'm not sure of the best order in which to do them.

Now go back to Nat and get your Artisan Fishing.

There is apparently a bug with this quest, if go away from Nat BEFORE getting your fishing level to 226, the quest can bug and you'll be stuck on 225 for good. Didn't happen to me, but I've seen a few posts from people who it's happened to.

Go to Steamwheedle port and speak to Gikkix, You'll want to buy the following two recipes: Spotted Yellowtail and Poached Sunscale Salmon.

Either fish for Spotted Yellowtails at Steamwheedle Port or go to Raventusk Village (well not to it, just a little North of it) for the slightly better drop rate. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 225 to 250.

Now go to Bloodvenom Falls in Felwood and fish for Sunscale Salmon. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 250 to 275.

No go and speak to Vivianna in The Feathermoon Stronghold and buy the recipe for Mightfish Steak. Whilst your there buy about 40 Hot Spices and 40 Soothing Spices as your going to be making the food that you will want as a level 60 (without going into instances that is). It gives a +10 stamina buff for 15mins which is always helpful.

Now go to Scalebeard's Cave in Azshara (its one of the islands to the East) and fish for Mightfish. You'll need about 30 to get your cooking from 275 to 300. You may need to bring some lures with you at this point, as your cooking will level up faster than your fishing and Azshara is a 250+ fishing zone. Once your cooking is a 300, keep fishing till you've maxed out that too. It will take 7 to 10 catches to get one skill up at this point, so take your time.

Enchanting 1 to 300 Guide by Ithilian on EU - Shadowsong

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebrt/wow/guides/skillupenchanting.html

Enchanting 1 to 300 Guide

About this guide

This guide will show you how to get your enchanting skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 265 and vendor available recipe's from 265 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require components aquired through disenchanting. Shards will be avoided as much as possible, since they are difficult to get.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of dust, essences and some shards. Create two alt storage characters, level one of the storage characters up to 5, so she can become an enchanter and send green items to her for disenchanting. Send green items to the other storage character. Since disenchanting will also give a skill point, these green items will be used to disenchant later. Use the ingame mail system to send everything to the storage characters. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage characters, so they can send everything back.

Ofcourse you want to know at which level a green item gives what. Below is a list taken from Jaywu's Enchanting FAQ.

Dust and Essence:

Generally the dust is from armor and the essence is from weapons, though it can randomly be anything.

Level 01-10: A little strange dust/lesser magic essence.

Level 11-15: Much strange dust/greater magic essence.

Level 16-20: Much strange dust/lesser astral essence.

Level 21-25: Little soul dust/greater astral essence.

Level 26-30: Much soul dust/lesser mystic essence.

Level 31-35: Little vision dust/greater mystic essence.

Level 36-40: Much vision dust/lesser nether essence.

Level 41-45: Little dream dust/greater nether essence.

Level 46-50: Much dream dust/lesser eternal essence.

Level 51-55: Little illusion dust/greater eternal essence.

Level 56-60: Much illusion dust/greater eternal essence.

Shards:

Shards come from blue or purple items (they can come from greens, but don't count on it).

Level 01-20: Small glimmering.

Level 21-25: Large glimmering.

Level 26-30: Small glowing.

Level 31-35: Large glowing.

Level 36-40: Small radiant.

Level 41-45: Large radiant.

Level 46-50: Small brilliant.

Level 51-60: Large brilliant.

Once you have all the components collected everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e. the green items to disenchant are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after strange dust and magic essences, which are needed next, and the other dusts and essences.

To learn recipe's from a trainer costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 20 to 25 gold if you disenchant all of the dust, essences and shards. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 1000 gold (including the arcanite rod). This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.

To enchant something requires runed rods, such as a runed silver rod. To make those runed rods you need normal rods. For example; to make a runed silver rod you need a silver rod. The following rods are needed; copper rod, silver rod, golden rod, truesilver rod and arcanite rod. The copper rod is sold by vendors and the other rods are made by blacksmiths. Find a blacksmith who can make the rods for you or check the auction house and get them. The arcanite rod is expensive. Making a runed arcanite rod is also expensive. Since it is not needed for this guide, but only for the highlevel enchants, you may want to postpone getting one if you are strapped for gold.

Below is a table that shows the amount of dust, essences and shards needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you enchant something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you enchant something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of dust, essences and shards on your storage character. The numbers in the estimated amount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks up to. The numbers in the table do not take into account the disenchanting of items to get the first skill points. If you buy everything you need from the auction house i suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Strange Dust 153 (16 stacks) 180 (18 stacks)

Soul Dust 75 (8 stacks) 90 (9 stacks)

Vision Dust 156 (16 stacks) 170 (17 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Earlier I wrote that you need runed rods to enchant something. The first rod needed is the runed copper rod. So make a runed copper rod to get your first skill point.

Disenchanting items will get you a skill point. Send the green items you stored on a storage character to your main and disenchant them.

If you were not able to reach 50 with disenchanting, enchant a bracer with minor health to get to skill 50. You can enchant the same bracer over and over again. An annoying window will pop up each time asking if you are sure to overwrite the existing enchant. Just click yes to do so.

Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Enchanter. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Enchanter.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components needed

1 5 10 Runed Copper Rod 1x Copper Rod,1x Strange Dust,1x Lesser Magic Essence 0 - 1 (1) 1x Copper Rod,1x Strange Dust,1x Lesser Magic Essence

1 70 110 Enchant Bracer - Minor Health 1x Strange DustRequired:Runed Copper Rod 2 - 50 (49) 49x Strange Dust

Getting from 50 to 125

Enchant the bracer some more with minor health to get to 75. Now enchant the bracer with minor deflection to get to 85.

Enchant a bracer with minor stamina to get to 100.

At 100 you can make a runed silver rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.

Enchant the bracer some more with minor stamina to get to 105, a bracer with minor agility to get to 120 and a shield with minor stamina to get to 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Enchanter. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Enchanter.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Getting from 125 to 225

Enchant the shield some more with minor stamina to get to 130. Enchant a bracer with lesser stamina to get to 150.

At 150 you can make a runed golden rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.

Enchant a bracer with lesser stamina to get to 160. Enchant a shield with lesser stamina or boots with lesser agility to get to 165. Enchant a bracer with spirit to get to 185 and a bracer with strength to get to 200.

Allthough you can become artisan enchanter once you hit 200 it is better to max to 225 first, since the trainer for artisan enchanter is inside an instance. I will get back on this in the next chapter. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Enchanter.

At 200 you can make a runed truesilver rod, which you need later on, so make one now and get a skill point.

Engineering 1 to 300 Guide by Darksicarius on US-Azgalor

Okay. I decided to pick up engineering, Here's the guide that I created last night, trying to spend the least amount of gold I could. I must admit that it's about 70 gold for EVERYthing, But in the end, you'll have like 20-25 gold in your pocket. This is the Quick and Dirty way. If you can't keep up with the bill, I suggest getting mining, as it alleviates nearly 90% of your costs when you just straight mine to 300.

First is the shopping list of all items I used in my powerlevel. You WILL have leftovers on most things but I padded for the unlucky.

Next is the List itself. What to skill up on until the level desired. For instance, 1-40 means stop doing it when you get your 40th profession point. Next, what typically you can do with the item. Then, AHed ingredients and finally the ingredients in ONE make of the crafted item.

Also, please leave comments.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Shopping list of items needed:

90 Rough Stones (AH)

80 Coarse Stones(AH)

[60 Thorium Bars] (6x Thorium Bar)

---When all is said and done, it should have taken you 3-5 hours to get it all made. Grats.---

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pick up Schematics that help out:

[Edit: These do not require any type of engineering to have. They are ordinary engineering schematics.]

"Discombulator Ray":

1.You need a DELTA ACCESS security card. It's a low % drop in gnomeregan, so getting it is the hardest part. I've found 3 off of the mobs coming from the back door. You can also find it from AH though in some cases. The important part about delta security card is that it is not BoP, so once you have gotten your schematic, sell it to someone else.

2. You must have 160 engineering.

3. Learn the schematic directly from 3500-D terminals on the way to Thermaplugg from the back door, in the engineering labs.

"Schematics: Repair bot 74A":

Learn this from a scroll on the ground next to Golem Lord Argelmach in BRD at 300 engineering. (First of all, you'll need the Shadowforge Key.

1. Take your first left, unlock the gate, run up to the gate on the right, unlock that, run up to the door on the left, unlock it.

2. Walk up to the big gear in this room, and unlock the chain.

3. Run up the ramp in this room, take the left up the stairs, then follow the hallways. You'll come to a room with about 4 fire elementals, stairs going down on the left, and a ramp going down on the right. Go right.

4. Ahead of you will be many non-elite gnomes and elite elementals standing around. Go straight down from the ramp until you come to a room with a named, and two elementals guarding him.

5. The plans are to your right.)

It takes 12 Thorium Bars, 4 Rugged Leather, 1 Fused Wiring, 2 Elemental Earth, and 1 Elemental Fire. It has only 1 charge before it is expended. Not cheap.

----------------------------------------------------------------

---Types of Artisan Engineering---

[Edit: There are three types of engineering. Goblin, Gnomish and regular Artisan engineering. Unless an engineering item SPECIFICALLY states that it needs "Goblin Engineering (x)" or "Gnomish Engineering (x)" it is free for anyone to use. This means that Gnomish can use Goblin Jumper Cables XL and gnomes make whatever they make (d'oh, you'd think I'd remember what gnomes make with 300 gnomish) and share them with the Goblin engineers. Just check thottbot or wherever to be sure.]

There is a quest starter for Artisan; (Tinkerwiz in Ratchet (observatory) for Horde, and Lilliam Sparkspindle in Stormwind for Alliance.)

The Master Gnome engineer is in Booty Bay.

The Master Goblin engineer is in Gadgetzan. These trainers will give you a task to complete to join

that society. Note that you don't need to choose either, as it is not linked to learning

artisan engineering at level 35 at all.

For your Goblin engineering quest:

20 Big Iron Bombs (190) (3x Iron Bar 3x Heavy Blasting Powder 1x Silver Contact)

20 Solid Dynamite (175) (1x Solid Blasting Powder 1x Silk Cloth)

5 Explosive Sheep (150)

(1x Bronze Framework 1x Whirring Bronze Gizmo 2x Heavy Blasting Powder 2x Wool Cloth)

[SEE POST 264 for Garlic of Greymane's Modifications for Goblin Enginnering.]

For your Gnome engineering quest:

6 Mithril Tubes (195) (3x Mithril Bar)

1 Accurate Scope (180) (1x Bronze Tube 1x Jade 1x Citrine)

2 Advanced Target Dummies (185)

(1x Iron Strut 1x Bronze Framework 1x Gyrochronatom 4x Heavy Leather)

Goblin is the realm of BOOM. You get a wider variety of and more powerful explosives. Unfortunately the dragon gun and the mortar still trigger the shared explosive reuse timer, though they are on seperate cooldowns.

Goblin engineering produces the following:

1) (205) Goblin mining hat (AC 190, +15 sta, +5 mining, mail armor, BoP) (You no take candle!)

2) (205) Goblin construction hat (AC 44, +15 fire resist, cloth, BoP) Use: absorb 300 to 500 fire damage for 1 minute.

3) (205) Goblin sapper charge (explosive, limited use) Damage enemies around you for a lot while damaging you

for slightly less.

4) (205) Goblin Rocket Fuel recipe (creates a recipe) create recipes for alchemists, who in turn can supply you

with goblin rocket fuel, necessary for some schematics.

5) (205) Goblin Mortar (explosive, 6 uses) Has a minimum and maximum range. Binds on equip, so you can

recharge your own mortar (using the Mortar: Reloaded schematic gained at the same time) for significantly

fewer resources than a new mortar, but cannot recharge anyone elses as it is soulbound to them.

Also worth noting is that this item apparently still causes a "stun"

MAKE SURE YOU ARE LEVEL 35 BEFORE DOING NEXT STEP *as of patch 1.8

Now speak to Arnok in The Valley of Spirits in Ogrimmar. He will send you to Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands. The good Doctor will give you a quest called “Triage”.

You can go straight to Doctor Gregory Victor, without first speaking to Arnok

Before you go to Hammerfall, make sure you have at least 75 x Mageweave and 70 x Runecloth as this will save you coming back to see the Doctor.

Triage: He will have you triage 15 patients in a certain order before 6 die. You will be in a room with 6 cots. Stand in the middle so you can see all 6 cots. You might need to change the camera angle and zoom out to see them all. Use ("V") to show all the patients status on screen. You will have special triage bandages (add them to your action bar/hot key) which should be applied to Critically injured, then Badly injured, and then injured. Critical patients will often die before you finish bandaging them, so let them die unless you can start right after they spawn. Once you started treating a patient, finish treating that patient, before moving on to another patient.

Triage: He will have you triage 15 patients in a certain order before 6 die. You will be in a room with 6 cots. Stand in the middle so you can see all 6 cots. You might need to change the camera angle and zoom out to see them all. Use ("V") to show all the patients status on screen. You will have special triage bandages (add them to your action bar/hot key) which should be applied to Critically injured, then Badly injured, and then injured. Critical patients will often die before you finish bandaging them, so let them die unless you can start right after they spawn. Once you started treating a patient, finish treating that patient, before moving on to another patient. You should select your next patient before your are finished with the first one, then all you have to do is hit you hot key to start the next one.

*If your having trouble getting Runecloth because your only level 35ish, then just continue to make Heavy Mageweave Bandages all the way to 300. I'm not sure how much extra Magewaeve you'll need for that, but I'm guessing its gonna be about 140-150 extra

What Each Bandage Heals

Linen Bandage = 66dmg

Heavy Linen Bandage = 114dmg

Wool Bandage = 161dmg

Heavy Wool Bandage = 301dmg

Silk Bandage = 400dmg

Heavy Silk Bandage = 640dmg

Mageweave Bandage = 800dmg

Heavy Mageweave Bandage = 1104dmg

Runecloth Bandage = 1360dmg

Heavy Runecloth Bandage = 2000dmg

N.B.Takes 6-8 seconds to apply a bandage

Directions for finding Deneb Walker

Directions provided by Belasarius on Bloodhoof, who managed to describe it perfectly.

Walk into Stromguard and keep turning right. It's in the Alliance part of the keep so you should not have to fight. Once you go over a small bridge the guy who sells the book for lvl 150-225 is standing under a lamp post in an area surrounded by plants.

Additional directions from Sadvsadv on Turalyon

When you enter Stromgarde Keep, take 4 turns to the right. There he is and you are only going over Alliance territory.

Hopefully, you should all be able to find him now :)

ALSO REMEMBER TO BUY ALL THREE BOOKS WHILE YOUR THERE!!

Herbalism 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

Bear in mind, that where I've specified a particular herb to pick, do not avoid picking anything else you see. Pick everything.

I've also tried to list multiple alternatives for each part of the levelling up guide. This should hopefully allow you to choose the area thats best for you or give you alternatives if an area is already being farmed by other players.

1 - 50

Collecting Silverleaf and Peacebloom

# Mulgore. Just do circuits round the base of Thunderbluff picking Silverleaf and Peacebloom.

# Do circuits around Dolanaar heading South East around the lake and back upto to Dolanaar, if your Alliance or complete circuits of Elwynn Forest.

# For Undead, try starting at Solliden Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, run north to the mills, loop round and back south past Stillwater Pond and onto Cold Hearth Manor and Nightmare Vale. Then back up to Solliden Farmstead again. (Thanks to Olmolmtyr for info)

You can find Peacebloom and Silverleaf in abundance around your main starting area (not in it, around it). So the first 50 levels should be really easy.

51 - 70

Collecting Mageroyal and Earthroot

# Go west from Crossroads then head north before the entrance to Stonetalon Mountains and follow around to where the harpies are, then head east back to the Gold road and then south to Crossroads again, picking Mage Royal, Earthroot, Peacebloom and Silverleaf as you go.

# For Alliance start in the north of Westfall and follow the coast south to Deadmines and then head straight to Sentinel Hill and back up to the north again, picking Mageroyal.

# You can also run circuits of Gol'Bolar Quarry in Dun Morogh, collecting Earthroot as you go. (Thanks to Flareon for that info)

71 - 100

Collecting Briarthorn

# Same route as above (for Horde), but extend it east to Sludge Fen, picking Briarthorn now.

You could actually extend your runs to encompass the whole of The Barrens, as this area is absolutely chock full of Briarthorn and other herbs. It's possibly the best area to get your herbalism trained up.

# Southern part of Silverpine Forest, from Pyrewood Village to the Entrance to Hillsbrad Foothills and back again.

# Same route as above (for Alliance) or do circuits of Twilight Grove in Duskwood.

# Also for Alliance, just wander north to south in Darkshore for loads of Briarthorn.

# The eastern side of Loch Modan is also a great place for Briarthorn.

# You could also do circuits of Lakeshire in Redridge Mountains.

101 - 115

Collecting Bruiseweed

# Start at the Ramparts in Ashenvale and head north-east to Splintertree Post (dont follow road, try to go as straight as you can, you'll find more herbs that way), then head west from Splintertree Post towards the first bridge. Head south from here past the Moonwell and then back west to the ramparts when you reach the edge of the map. Pick Bruiseweed as you go.

# Stonetalon Mountains. Go to Camp Aparaje, head west to the Grimtotem Post, then south to Malaka'jin, then east to the Greatwood Vale. Nice run of Bruiseweed there.

# The Field of Giants in Southern Barrens or between the two Razorfens.

# You can also circle to the north of Mystral Lake for Bruiseweed or to the West of Astranaar in Ashenvale.

# Windshear Crag in Stonetalon Mountains.

# The eastern coast of Loch Modan.

# Circuits of Stonewatch keep in Redridge Mountains.

116 - 125

Collecting Wild Steelbloom

# Go to Stonetalon Peak and do circuits of the small area around the Alliance Town and the Talon Den collecting Wild Steelbloom.

# For higher levels do full circuits of Arathi Highlands, sticking to the mountain sides (as this is where you'll find Wild Steelbloom)

# Nek'mani Wellspring in Stranglethorn Vale.

# The Zuuldaia Ruins, north of Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale.

# Go from Black Channel Marsh in the Wetlands to the Angerfang Encampment, taking in Whelgar's Excavation Site as you go.

# Go from The Field of Giants in southern Barrens to the two Razorfens and back up again.

# Between The Great Lift and Highperch in Thousand Needles.

*from now on your going to be doing circuits of the full map, so you'll have to learn your own paths.

126 - 160

Collecting Kingsblood

# Full circuits of Ashenvale to collect Kingsblood.

# Circuits of The Charred Vale in Stonetalon Mountains.

# Full circuits of The Wetlands.

# Full circuits of Hillsbrad Foothills.

# The Misty Reed Stand in Swamp of Sorrows.

161 - 185

Collecting Fadeleaf

# Full circuits of Swamp of Sorrows to collect Fadeleaf (sell these to Rogues for a good profit).

186 - 205

Collecting Khadgar's Whisker

# Full circuits of The Hinterlands to collect Khadgar's Whisker.

# The Witherbark Village and Ogre Compound in Arthai Highlands.

# You can also stay in Swamp of Sorrows, as there is a decent amount of Khadgar's Whiskers there.

206 - 230

Collecting Firebloom

# Full circuits of Searing Gorge to collect Firebloom.

# Full circuits of Blasted Lands.

# Tanaris also has a lot, but doing full circuits takes time. You can divide Tanaris into four and do circuits that way.

231 - 250

Collecting Sungrass

# Full circuits of Felwood to collect Sungrass. This is actually more of a zig-zag pattern, rather than a circuit (also try to do the Cleansing Felwood quest and pick up Windblossom Berries, Nightdragons, Whipper Roots and the odd Songflower Serenade buff when needed).

# Feralas is also a great place to get Sungrass. You can make two circuits here. One that starts in the very north west at The Ruins of Ravenwind and runs south to The High Wilderness and one around The Lower Wilds, Lariss Pavillion, Grimtotem Compound and Woodpaw Hills, all near Camp Mojache.

# You can do circuits around The Forlorn Ridge in Azshara.

# You can try the main path through The Hinterlands too. As you follow it one way, stay about 50 metres from the path and then do the same the other way.

251 - 270

Collecting Gromsblood

# Full circuits of Felwood to collect Gromsblood. See above notes.

# Do circuits of Mannoroc Coven in Desolace for Gromsblood too.

# Full circuits of Blasted Lands.

# Demon Fall Canyon in Ashenvale, not many people bother with this area, so although its small, it can be good for farming Gromsblood.

271 - 285 or 290 (see below)

Collecting Dreamfoil

# Full circuits of Un'goro Crater to collect Dreamfoil.

# Two good routes in Azshara are:

# From The Forlorn Ridge, head south east to the Ravencrest Monument and back again.

# From the north of the Ruins of Eldareth, head north east to the Jagged Reaches and back again.

285 or 290 - 300

From 285 you can get Plagueblooms from doing circuits of Eastern and Western Plaguelands and Felwood, but if your not competing against a load of other players, try to collect Icecaps from Winterspring, as they will sell for more money.

Notes:

In general I have tried to keep as much as possible to the main normal leather types, light, medium, heavy, thick and rugged. This is because it always easier to buy them on the auction house, whereas other ingredients are more difficult to obtain, and therefore more expensive. I haven't mentioned the ingredients that can be bought from vendors, since they are easy to obtain. I ran into trouble around the 180 mark, where most recipes require extra ingredient and I bought whatever had the cheapest buyout on the AH to get me there. Have a look to see what's cheapest at the time for you.

I could have used a lot less thick leather and started on rugged armour kits at 250, but at that time the price of rugged leather was high enough for it to be worth using huge amounts of thick instead (probably because I did this the week before the Darkmoon Faire was in town). If you can get the rugged leather cheaper it's probably worth switching earlier (5 rugged leather Vs 15 thick leather).

I have mostly kept to trainer taught recipes. The exceptions to this are the recipes gained through the leatherworking quests and the recipes for Wicked Leather Bracer and Headband, which I bought on the auction house for 5 and 2 gold respectively (you could substitute Wicked Leather Gauntlet for Wicked Leather Bracers. The recipe is vendor bought from leatherworking suppliers http://www.thotbott.com/?i=11493 it's limited supply though, and after 20 minutes of camping for it I gave up).

I hope that this helps. I know that there are a few places where it could have been done a bit better but I don't think I made too many glaring errors.

Mining 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

What you’re going to need:

Mining skill (obviously). Go see your local mining trainer to get trained.

A mining pick. Can't mine without one (these can also be enchanted if you want, makes absolutely no difference, but it's cool to have. Even if you have your mining pick enchanted the standard mining animation remains the same, so you actually see that nice demonslaying glow you got put on there. You will only see the glow when you equip it like a normal weapon. A player on our server even had a Crusader enchant put on their mining pick and told me that the proc happens when they mine, cant confirm this for sure, but it does seem really pointless).

Optional, but recommended extra: get the cheapest pair of gloves you can find and get them enchanted with +5 mining skill (shouldn't cost you more than 2g, as it takes 3 x Truesilver Bars and 3 x Vision Dust). Don’t bother with the +2 enchant as its not worth it.

If you’re an engineer then make yourself a Goblin Mining Helmet ( http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?i=12859 ) as this will add +5 to your mining skill.

Also, please remember that mining nodes only appear on the side of hills, cliffs, mountains etc. So your unlikely to find any ores in the great rolling plains, unless there is a small hill there. Also note that Darnassus has NO ore whatsoever! So if you’re a Night Elf and want to mine, get your booty over to Darkshore ASAP. So with that in mind, always follow the cliff faces or hillsides.

Got all that? Good, then lets down and dirty, Dwarf style :o)

Mining 1 to 65

Mining Copper

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 30

This bit is easy. Mine about 50 copper and smelt. You can use any of the following suggestions for mining routes or make up your own, as copper is so abundant:

*At level 50, go back to the mining trainer and learn Journeyman Mining.

Horde

# Undead: Start at the entrance to Deathknell, looking out towards Brill. Head South and follow the cliffs all the way round to The Undercity. Skip past UC and keep following the cliffs up to The Bulwark. Now head North up to Scarlet Monastery, hugging the cliffs as you go. When to reach the coast, head west and then south to follow the cliffs down and round to Agamand Mills. Follow those hills south again to get back to your starting point. Average amount of copper ore from this run, should be about 30-40.

# Tauren: Mulgore. The natural geography of this place makes it easy to run around. Just pick a starting point and follow the cliffs all the way around in a circle. Remember to check out the Venture Co mine on your way round. Average amount of copper ore from this run, should be about 40-50.

# Orc & Troll: You could just do whole circuits of Durotar, but there is so much copper round here that small routes are just as productive. My favourite routes are:

# Start at the gates of Orgrimmar and head East towards Skull Rock (make sure you go into Skull Rock and mine the ore there too). Head a short way south to where that Orc is standing on his lonesome, then head back West following the cliff face (keeping the Zep Tower in sight). Carry on over the road and across the top of the canyon and on to the coast. Head North up to the cliff face and then East back to Orgrimmar. I get about 30-40 copper ores from this short run on a good day.

# Start at Razor Hill and head West towards the Quilboar grounds. Hug the cliff face until you reach the river, then head north until you reach Orgrimmar. Head East until you see the first little farmstead, now head south and drop into the canyon. Follow the canyon out and head South East until you reach Razor Hill again. You’ll get about 25-30 copper ores on this route.

Alliance

# Human: Start at Goldshire and head East following the cliff face to the north of Crystal Lake. When you get the north of the Logging Camp head South. Follow the river to the border of Elwyn forest and Duskwood, then head North West back towards Goldshire (make sure you visit the two mines on this route). This route should net you about 30-40 copper ores.

# Night Elves: Your going to have to go to Darkshore, as Darnassus has no ores whatsoever! So start at Auberdine and head directly east until you reach the cliffs at the edge of the map. Now head south, hugging the cliff face as you go. When you get to the entrance of Ashenvale, head west to the coast and then North back to Auberdine. Head out from Auberdine, directly to the East (same as you did at the start of this route), but when you reach the cliffs this time head north. Just follow the cliffs to the North and back round the coast, heading South again to Auberdine. I find this figure of eight pattern to be easier than taking Auberdine in one whole route, but that’s just me. Feel free to improvise it. Normally get about 40-50 copper ores from this entire route.

# Dwarves and Gnomes: Ah, the home of mining and possibly the best place to start, Dun Morogh! You really don’t need a route around here, copper is everywhere, if you can’t find a decent route yourself, then you’re beyond help! But, I will tell you my favourite route. Start at Kharanos and head to the Wendigo cave (you all know where that is, right?). Clear cave and then continue on West, following the cliff face. Carry on until you hit the main road then head North up to the Frostmane Hold. From there head directly east over to Shimmer Ridge, then North up to Ice Flow Lake. Now follow the cliffs down to Ironforge, on to Misty Pine Refuge and back round to Kharanos. This run normally nets me about 40-50 copper ore.

# Another good run in this area is the Gol’Bolar Quarry. Circle the outside, around the top, then drop down and into the mines. I can get about 20 copper ores on this short run.

Mining 66 – 125

Mining Tin, Silver, Incendicite and Lesser Bloodstone

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 60

This part is a pain in the butt, if you don’t have a mount (well its all a pain in the butt, if you don’t have a mount) as the Tin Veins your going to need to mine are more spread out and not as common as the Copper you just being mining. You also stop getting skill up’s from smelting after about level 85 (Silver is the last thing to give you a skill up). The leg from 100-125 is also pretty bad, as Tin is green at this stage and therefore your getting skill ups at fewer intervals (just pray its a Silver spawn, instead of Tin, as this will still be yellow to you).

Horde & Alliance *even on PvP servers you can still use these routes and areas.

Easiest way to level up to 125, is to go to The Wetlands and find Thelgan Rock (its near the entrance to Dun Algaz - 53,64 for those with location addons). There is a cave there, that is full of spiders and a quest ore called Incendicite. This is an Alliance only quest, but Horde can still mine the ore. Now the ore itself is worthless and only used to complete the quest, but you can mine it from level 65 until about level 125. The nodes respawn quickly and you can level up your mining in less than an hour if your the only one in the cave.

If your Alliance and want to do the quest, go see Pilot Longbeard in The Miltary Ward in Ironforge for the starting quest. He'll send you to speak to Pilot Stonegear in Kharanos, who then gives you the quest.

Thankyou to everyone who suggested this, especially Plog

Lesser Bloodstone: go to the cave in north east Arathi Highlands, just to the east of Hammerfall (path to cave is at 80,40) and mine the nodes inside. It's used as part of a quest chain thats started in Booty Bay by Corporal Kaleb (in the tavern). You only need to keep four of them for the quest.

Thanks to Garleth for this one

I actually combine two of my routes here, if I have time. They are as follows:

# Start at The Crossroads and head West towards the entrance of Stonetalon Mountains. Then head south, hugging the cliffs as you go. Follow the cliffs all the way down south until you reach Blackthorn Ridge, just north of Razorfen Kraul. Follow the cliff to the main road and over. Continue heading east and then north up to the entrance to Dustwallow Marsh. Carry on going north until you reach Northwatch Hold and then head up to the Raptor Hills and the Quilboar Village. Now head back to The Crossroads.

# Start at the bottom of the Great Lift in Thousand Needles and head northwest up to Camp Ethok, following the cliff face as you go. Continue on till you reach the border of Thousand Needles and Feralas, then head over to the other side of Thousand Needles and follow the cliffs south. Make a detour when you reach Highperch, as there are a couple of Tin / Iron veins here. Carry on heading south until you reach The Screeching Canyon. Have a quick run into the cave here and pick the couple veins that normally spawn here. Continue south past Freewind Post and all the way to Windbreak Canyon. Now head north, again hugging the cliff face as you go and make your way up to Splithoof Crag. There is a Centaur Village here, with a cave that can have 4 or 5 veins (both Iron and Tin). Mine it. Carry on north past Darkcloud Pinnacle and back to the Great Lift.

Combine the two routes above for a 90-minute (ish) trek that can net 100+ copper, 50-70 Tin and 30-40 Iron.

There only two other places that I bother mining for Tin and that is:

# Hillsbrad Foothills: No route here, just do full circuits.

# Ashenvale: Again no real route, just do full circuits.

But you could also try the following places:

# Wetlands: Start at Dun Modr and follow the cliffs to the southeast down towards Raptor Ridge. From here either go around Grim Batol, if you’re a high enough level to cope, or follow the cliffs towards Mosshide Fen and onto The Igan Rock. Once there head over to Dun Algaz, then north to Angerfang Encampment and onto Whelgars Excavation Site. Now head north past Ironbeards Tomb and back to Dun Modr.

# Redridge Mountains: Start in Lakeshire, head north to

Mining 176 – 250

Mining Mithril and Truesilver

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 125

*At level 225, go back to the mining trainer and learn Artisan Mining.

So now we come the real money making stuff, Mithril. This stuff is used in such quantities by Engineering and Blacksmithing that you will always sell what you mine for a good profit.

# Blasted Lands: just do full circuits, simple.

# Searing Gorge: again, just do full circuits. You can do what I do and do a full circuit of the perimeter of Searing Gorge, then drop down into The Cauldron and do a circuit of that (inside and outside). Also remember that at level 230, you can mine Dark Iron, so pick that up too.

# Badlands: two good places here. First is Camp Cagg. Just do a circuit round it, taking in the Rock Elementals spawn point as you go. Second place is Lethlor Ravine. If you start by the Master Dragonscale Leatherworker and head into the Ravine and loop round to the north and back out and south past Uldaman back entrance, then you’ll pick up a good amount of Mithril.

# The Hinterlands: start at Aerie Peak and follow the cliff face to the south and east. Now just go around the south cliff face until your get past Jintha’Alor, then north up to Seradane and then west back to Aerie Peak.

# Western Plaguelands: do circuits of the Ruins of Andorhal.

# Azshara: start at the Legash Encampment and head east to the Bitter Reaches. Loop round to the north and back west along the coast past the Jagged Reef and then back down to the Lagash Encampment again.

# Winterspring: start at the Timbermaw tunnel entrance and follow the cliffs to the east past the Hot Springs and all the way over to Starfall Village. Just before you get there, head south to Lake Kel’Theril and then follow the cliffs west all the way back to your starting point.

# Felwood: only if your there. Don’t go out of way to mine here, but if you happen to be in the area (i.e. grinding Timbermaw rep) then look out for a few Mithril nodes here.

# Stonetalon Mountains: quick circuit of The Charred Vale can net you 10-15 Mithril ores.

# Desolace: grab yourself some underwater breathing potions and head to Ranzajar Isle. Theres a good number of Mithril nodes in the sunken ruins round here and very few people mine them. You can also take a run through the Valley of Spears and down to Mannoroc Coven to pick up the Mithril nodes there.

# Tanaris: bit of a long one this, but can be well worth it. Do full circuits of Tanaris, but drop down into The Noxious Lair and The Gaping Chasm to pick up the nodes that virtually nobody mines, unless they are questing in there.

Mining 251 – 300

Mining Thorium

Estimated number of nodes to mine = 160

This is the reason you took up mining, Thorium. What a moneymaker. Your also looking to get Arcane Crystal from the rich veins, which will sell for about 20g each (depends on your server).

# Un’goro Crater: just go round and round the crater, making sure you drop down into The Slithering Scar and take a detour into Fire Plume Ridge. There is loads of Thorium to be had here, which is why its farmed constantly, so you will be competing for nodes here.

# Azshara: start at the Ravencrest Monument and follow the coastal cliff all the way round to the Tower of Eldra. Then head back west to the Legash Encampment in a zigzag pattern from coast to coast. You may also want to drop into the Ruins of Eldarath and pick up the couple of nodes that spawn there. Azshara isn’t the greatest place to mine Thorium, due to its natural geography, but that does mean its less popular and therefore your likely to have less competition.

# Winterspring: start at Everlook and head south to the Ice Thistle Hills. Make a quick sweep of the yeti cave here and then back out and to the south. Keep going till you get to Owl Wing Thicket and make a small circuit there. Now you can either carry on south into Frostwhisper and Darkwhisper Gorge’s if your happy about avoiding the elites there, or you can head west over to Mazthoril for the slightly lower level elite area. Once at Mazthoril, you can either sweep the main cave (only recommended for Druids, Rogues or Hunters) or carry on up to Lake Kel’Theril and back round to Everlook.

# Blasted Lands: not a massive amount of Thorium to be had here, but good for a quick run, whilst your looking for Mithril.

# Searing Gorge: same as the Mithril run above.

# Burning Steppes: No real decent run here. Just do full circuits picking up Dark Iron as well.

# Eastern Plaguelands: start at Tyr’s Hand and head north past Lights Hope Chapel. Go past The Noxious Glade and onto Northdale. Head west to Northpass Tower and then south to Blackwood Lake. Carry on south to the Pestilent Scar and then onto Lake Mereldar and back to your starting point. You may want to throw in a quick diversion to The Fungal Vale, in between Northpass Tower and Blackwood Lake.

# Western Plaguelands: start at The Weeping Cave and head south to Gahrrons Withering and then west to Dalsons Tears. Head northwest from here to the edge of Felstone Field and follow the cliffs north into the Northridge Lumber Camp. Follow the path up towards Hearthglen and then double back once you reach the watchtower. Head south and follow the cliffs all the way back round to The Weeping Cave.

Patch 1.11 notes:

Smelting Bronze, Silver and Iron will give increases to mining skill for somewhat longer than they used to.

Havent had a chance to test out how this affects this guide, but I'm assuming it makes that area between 90 and 125 a lot easier to level up.

Will do some testing soon.

Skinning 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

You can use it as a fast track guide. Just ignore the "Your level" bit. I would seriously suggest that you wait untill your level 50+ before trying this though, as it'll will takes you ages to complete at lower levels (unless of course you have a couple of level 50+ friends who dont mind grinding mobs for you to skin). I've tried to list mobs that should be yellow or orange for your skinning level. If they are green, move onto the next zone listed.

I would also recommend that you take a look at Blessyou's more detailed skinning guide, which can be found here http://forums-en.wow-europe.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-tradeskills-en&t=31651&s=new&tmp=1#new

Please note that even if a mob is red/orange to you, that this DOES NOT guarantee that you'll get a skill up. It's more likely, but not to be expected everytime.

Tailoring 1 to 300 Guide by Ithilian on EU - Shadowsong

Dont know who wrote this guide, as there is no name on the website, but here is the orignal link:

http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ebrt/wow/guides/skilluptailoring.html

About this guide

This guide will show you how to get your tailoring skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 275 and vendor available recipe's from 275 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require cloth and vendor bought material (thread, dye). The only exceptions are the vendor bought recipe's to get to 300 which require rugged leather. The leather needed is easely aquired through skinning or the auction house.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of linen and wool cloth and huge amounts of silk, mageweave and runecloth. Create an alt storage character to store these amounts of cloth and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the cloth needed. Use the ingame mail system to send the cloth to the storage character. You may need more than one storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the cloth back.

Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e the linen cloth are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the wool, silk, etc.

The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as threads and dye. These cost gold. To learn recipe's from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the cloth. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 250 gold. This does not include gold for recipe's from vendors or the auction house.

Below is a table that shows the amount of cloth needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of cloth. If you are buying all the cloth you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed. The numbers in the estimated amount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks up to.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount

Linen Cloth 140 (7 stacks) 160 (8 stacks)

Wool Cloth 165 (9 stacks) 200 (10 stacks)

Silk Cloth 700 (35 stacks) 760 (38 stacks)

Mageweave Cloth 450 (23 stacks) 520 (26 stacks)

Runecloth 750 (38 stacks) 900 (45 stacks)

Rugged Leather 90 (10 stacks) 120 (12 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50

Getting from 1 to 50 seems easy enough. Making a bolt of linen cloth greys out at 50, so it looks like this is the easiest way to get to 50. However, since making a bolt of linen cloth becomes yellow at 25 and green at 37, you will most likely make much more bolts than needed to get from 50 and further.

Getting from 50 and further requires at least 70 bolts of linen cloth, so lets make those first and set those aside. If you haven't reached 50 yet, make a bolt of linen cloth and then a linen belt. The linen belt will give a skill point. Repeat this until 50.

Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Tailor. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components needed

1 25 50 Bolt of Linen Cloth 2x Linen Cloth 1 - 50 (50) 100x Linen Cloth

15 50 85 Linen Belt 1x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

1x Coarse Thread 45 - 50 (5) 5x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

5x Coarse Thread

Getting from 50 to 125

First use the bolts of linen cloth set aside earlier to get to 75. Make linen bags to get from 50 to 70. Make the reinforced linen cape to get to 75.

There are two other recipe's that can be used to get from 50 to 70, the heavy linen gloves and the reinforced linen cape. These recipe's are cheaper in components than the linen bag, but since the bag sells for more silver at a vendor (2 silver for the bag versus 29 copper for the gloves and 67 copper for the cape) and you have to make a lot of bolts to get to 50 anyway, I decided to go for the linen bag so you can recoup a bit more of the money you lose wasting material.

At 75 you can train to make bolt of woolen cloth. Bolt of woolen cloth greys out at 105. To get from 105 to 125 you need at least 55 bolts of woolen cloth, so lets make those and see how far we get.

If you haven't reached 105, make 1 bolt of woolen cloth and then make a woolen cape until you do reach 105.

Now use the 55 bolts of woolen cloth made earlier and make gray woolen shirts until 110 and double-stitched woolen shoulders to get from 110 to 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Tailor. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components needed

45 70 105 Linen Bag 3x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

3x Coarse Thread 50 - 70 (20) 60x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

60x Coarse Thread

60 85 120 Reinforced Linen Cape 2x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

3x Coarse Thread 70 - 75 (5) 10x Bolt of Linen Cloth,

15x Coarse Thread

75 90 105 Bolt of Woolen Cloth 3x Wool Cloth 75 - 105 (25) 75x Wool Cloth

75 100 135 Woolen Cape 1x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

1x Fine Thread 100 - 105 (5) 5x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

5x Fine Thread

100 110 130 Gray Woolen Shirt 2x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

1x Fine Thread,

1x Gray Dye 105 - 110 (5) 10x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

5x Fine Thread,

5x Gray Dye

110 135 170 Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders 3x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

2x Fine Thread 110 - 125 (15) 45x Bolt of Woolen Cloth,

30x Fine Thread

Getting from 125 to 200

At 125 you can make bolt of silk cloth, which greys out at 145. Since you're going to need at least 175 bolts of silk cloth for your skill up recipe's you will most likely reach 145 with that, so lets make those bolts of silk cloth.

Make azure silk hoods to get from 145 to 160, silk headbands to get from 160 to 170 and formal white shirts to get from 170 to 175.

At 175 you can make bolt of mageweave which greys out at 185. Later on you're going to need at least 90 bolts of mageweave, so lets make those bolts. This should get you to 185 easely.

Now back to silk. Make Crimson Silk Vests to get from 185 to 200.

Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Tailor. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components needed

125 135 145 Bolt of Silk Cloth 4x Silk Cloth 125 - 145 (20) 80x Silk Cloth

2x Red Dye,

2x Fine Thread 185 - 200 (15) 60x Bolt of Silk Cloth,

30x Red Dye,

30x Fine Thread

Getting from 200 to 275

First make some more crimson silk vests to get from 200 to 205 and crimson silk pantaloons to get to 215.

Make black mageweave leggings or vests to get from 215 to 220, black mageweave gloves to get from 220 to 230 and black mageweave headbands or shoulders to get from 230 to 250.

At 250 you can make bolts of runecloth, which greys out at 260. Make bolts of runecloth until you reach 260 skill and use those to make runecloth belts. The runecloth belt recipe becomes yellow at 270, so you should be able to reach 275 using this recipe.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 275.

Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components needed

185 205 225 Crimson Silk Vest 4x Bolt of Silk Cloth,

2x Red Dye,

2x Fine Thread 200 - 205 (5) 20x Bolt of Silk Cloth,

10x Red Dye,

195 215 235 Crimson Silk Pantaloons 4x Bolt of Silk Cloth,

230 245 275 Black Mageweave Headband or

Black Mageweave Shoulders 3x Bolt of Mageweave,

2x Heavy Silken Thread 230 - 250 (20) 60x Bolt of Mageweave,

40x Heavy Silken Thread

250 255 260 Bolt of Runecloth 5x Runecloth 250 - 260 (10) 50x Runecloth

255 270 300 Runecloth Belt 3x Bolt of Runecloth,

1x Rune Thread 260 - 275 (15) 45x Bolt of Runecloth,

15x Rune Thread

Getting from 275 to 300

Although the runecloth belt recipe greys out at 300 I wouldn't use this recipe to skill up to 300, because the amount of runecloth needed would be huge and thus expensive.

1 to 300 Cooking Guide by Highlander of Terenas

Following on from my combined Fishing and Cooking guide, here's a straight 1 to 300 cooking guide using materials found on mobs.

Please note it is a LOT easier and cheaper to level your cooking whilst leveling your Fishing at the same time.

I've tried to pick the cheapest, easiest and quickest recipes to make and where possilbe I've tried to stick to trainer only recipes. So get your ass to a cooking trainer and pick up the apprentice cooking skill.

Once you've trained as an apprentice cook, you'll have 3 recipes to start with (along with the fire making skill), they are as follows:

Herb Baked Egg

Roasted Boar Meat

Charred Wolf Meat

So of these recipes, you'll only be wanting to use the Roasted Boar Meat or Charred Wolf Meat recipes, as they dont need any other reagents to cook.

So lets start cooking :)

Horde

Levels 1 to 40

Kill any of the following:

Mottled Boars around Orgrimmar for Chunks of Boar Meat.

Wolves and Stalkers around Mulgore for Stringy Wolf Meat.

Darkhounds around Tirisfal Glades for Stringy Wolf Meat.

You'll need about 45 Wolf Meat or about 55 Boar Meat.

Cook the Boar Meat and Stringy Wolf Meat until 40 (train on Spiced Wolf Meat at level 10 and use this to get skill ups quicker, but you'll have to buy mild spices).

At this point you really should take up Fishing as it's easier to fill the gaps, patriculary if your on the Horde side. But people have requested a cooking only guide, so let's try and stick to mob drops.

Levels 41 to 90

At level 50 train as Journeyman Cook.

Goto The Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest and buy the Smoked Bear Meat recipe from Andrew Hilbert.

Kill Grizzled Bears around Silverpine Forest for Bear Meat.

You'll need about 60.

Levels 91 to 125

Go find Grub in The Barrens. He's in a Tower by Grosh'gek Farm, just north off the road between Crossroads and Ratchet and pick up the quest for Dig Rat stew.

Kill Dig Rats until you have about 30 more than the quest needs. Complete quest and cook Dig Rat Stew till your level 125.

Levels 125 to 175

To Train as a Expert cook, goto Shadowprey Village and buy the Expert Cooking Book from Wulan.

Goto Razor Hill and buy Hot Lion Chops recipe from Zargh and about 60 Hot Spices.

Kill Mountain Lions around Hillsbrad Foothills for Lion Meat.

You'll need about 60.

Levels 175 to 200

Goto Grom'gol and buy Roast Raptor recipe from Nerrist and about 30 Hot Spices.

Kill Raptors around Grom'gol for Raptor Flesh.

You'll need about 30.

Levels 200 to 225

Goto trainer and train Spider Sausage.

Kill Darkfangs around Dustwallow Marsh for White Spider Meat.

You'll need about 30.

Levels 225 to 275

Goto Gadgetzan and speak to Dirge Quikcleave to obtain Artisan cooking quest - Clamlette Surprize (he's in the tavern).

You'll need 12 Giant Eggs, 10 zesty Clam Meat and 20 Alterac Swiss. The Alterac Swiss is the easiest to get, just goto the Tavern in Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands and buy it from the Innkepper. Get the eggs from the Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands (the drop rate is way better than the Rocs in Tanaris). For the clam meat goto Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris and kill the Turtles. They will drop Big Mouth Clams at a good rate, which contain Zesty clam Meat.

Keep killing Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands and grab another 70-80 eggs.

Goto Bloodvenom Post in Felwood and buy the Monster Omelet recipe from Bale and about 140-160 Soothing Spices (this is where it gets really expensive. Take up fishing already, it's cheaper).

Levels 225 to 275

Goto Cenarion Hold in Silithus and speak to Calandrath for the Desert Recipe chain of quests. When you get to the third quest you'll get the recipe for Smoked Desert Dumplings.

Kill Dredge Crushers and Strikers for the Sandworm Meat (low drop rate). You'll need about 20 more than the quest needs plus the soothing spices (about 30 in total).

Cook till 300.

Congratulations, your now a Master Cook :) BTW did I mention how much easier it would be if you actually used Fishing aswell?

Alliance

As a member of the Alliance you'll have an easier time finding reagents for the lower level recipes.

Levels 1 to 40

Kill any of the following:

Crag Boars around Dun Morogh for Chunks of Boar Meat.

Boars around Elwynn Forest for Chunks of Boar Meat.

Crag and Mountain Boars around Loch Modan for Chunks of Boar Meat.

Thistle Boars around Teldrassil for Chunks of Boar Meat.

Wolves around Elwynn Forest Stringy Wolf Meat.

Wolves around Dun Morogh Stringy Wolf Meat.

You'll need about 45 Wolf Meat or about 55 Boar Meat.

Cook the Boar Meat and Stringy Wolf Meat until 40 (train on Spiced Wolf Meat at level 10 and use this to get skill ups quicker, but you'll have to buy mild spices).

Levels 41 to 75

Goto Drac Roughcut in Thelsamar, Loch Modan and buy Smoked Bear Meat recipe.

Kill bears around Loch Modan for Bear Meat.

Levels 75 to 85

Train as Journeyman cook and get Crab Cake recipe.

Go back to Darkshore or Westfall and continue killing Crawlers.

You'll need about 20.

Kill Ravagers and Wolves around Duskwood for Lean wolf Flank.

You'll need about 50-60 (including the ones you need for quest).N.B. you could get the Lean Wolf Steak recipe from Super Seller 680 in Desolace and continue killing until your cooking is upto 150+ and then skip the next step).

Levels 130 to 175

At level 125 train as Expert Cook.

You'll need about 30.

Levels 225 to 275

Goto Gadgetzan and speak to Dirge Quikcleave to obtain Artisan cooking quest - Clamlette Surprize (he's in the tavern).

You'll need 12 Giant Eggs, 10 zesty Clam Meat and 20 Alterac Swiss. The Alterac Swiss is the easiest to get, just goto the Trade District in Stormwind City and buy it from Ben Trias. Get the eggs from the Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands (the drop rate is way better than the Rocs in Tanaris). For the clam meat goto Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris and kill the Turtles. They will drop Big Mouth Clams at a good rate, which contain Zesty clam Meat.

Keep killing Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands and grab another 70-80 eggs.

Goto Bloodvenom Post in Felwood and buy the Monster Omelet recipe from Bale and about 140-160 Soothing Spices (this is where it gets really expensive. Take up fishing already, it's cheaper).

Levels 225 to 275

Goto Cenarion Hold in Silithus and speak to Calandrath for the Desert Recipe chain of quests. When you get to the third quest you'll get the recipe for Smoked Desert Dumplings.

Kill Dredge Crushers and Strikers for the Sandworm Meat (low drop rate). You'll need about 20 more than the quest needs plus the soothing spices (about 30 in total).

Cook till 300.

Congratulations, your now a Master Cook :) BTW did I mention how much easier it would be if you actually used Fishing aswell?
