Gone Fishin'

Though probably a guide already exists for this, I'm compiling a little list of my favourite places to fish in Pandaria.  Eveeeryone is cooking now and these spots will provide the fish you need to level your cooking, to create those super duper banquets, to cash in for Ironpaw Tokens/AH or if you're nice, to make food for your Halfhill friends!

Emperor Salmon and Krasarang Paddlefish

• Guilded Fan - Lots of Salmon pools in the lake here. Heavily fished though.
• New Cifera, Pools of Purity - My favourite spot for a fast few stacks.
• Yan Zhe River - Lots of spots here and handy for picking up turtle meat or wildfowl breast from the little beasts around the shores.
• Krasarang Wilds - The big lake here has tons of spots.

Reef Octopus and Giant Mantis Shrimp

• Cradle Of Chi Ji - Lots of unfished Reef Octopus spots all around here. A few Giant Mantis Shrimp but great for the Octopus. Always quiet and easy to get a good few stacks.
• Nayeli Lagoon: Same as above.

These two locations should provide you with more than enough of these fish, without having to travel too far!

Jewel Danio and Redbelly Mandarin

• Mistvale Village - Follow the stream from Whitepetal lake down to Mistvale Village for these. Mainly Jewel Danio in my experience but still quite a few Redbelly Mandarin pools.
• Mogushan Palace - In the ponds around here there are quite a few pools of Redbelly Mandarin.

Sometimes you will also find Emperor Salmon here.

Tiger Gourami

• The Ancient Passage - The only place I've been where I can successfully fish a few stack. There's never anyone here and the mobs scattered around are nice for Windwool Cloth etc.

Not to forget Darkmoon!

Always remember to fish the crates here. I have had lots of motes from these crates, so it's a nice way to get them without fighting.

I'll update more spots as I go but if anyone can think of anymore, please put them in the comments and I'll add them to it!

Fishing For Volatiles

After spending a ridiculous amount of gold this week thanks to Mr Robot, I really need to farm like a little demon to make the spend up. Not all Mr Robot's fault though. Those darned Mulgore Hatchlings made me buy them! Anyway, back to the farm.

A great way to make money for a tailor is selling those Illusionary bags (2.5k up on AH). Now, they take approximately 2 weeks to farm for the Dreamcloth required, so it gives you plenty of time to farm the Volatiles to make the cloths. Also, they sell for a pretty penny on AH, so why not farm those extra to maximise profit?

My first spot to hit is always Stonehearth in Deepholm (as mentioned in my prior post), armed with a Potion of Treasure Finding. In 1 hour today I farmed 75 bolts of Embersilk (on AH for 499g, which is far more effective than making Embersilk bags to sell, as they sell for less and slower and use a hypnotic dusts too). I also got 7 green drops (I'm also an enchanter, so this was great for disenchants), 5 Pyrium Ore, 6 Elementium Ore and lots of vendor trash. In addition, I got 17 tiny treasure chests, which each contained a good amount of mixed Volatiles. Now this wasn't a great farm today. Sometimes I get up to 25 tiny treasure chest and they have green items in and a lot more Volatiles. Or blue item drops. But hey, maybe I over farm there ;). Sometimes it's fantastic, sometimes not so much, but ALWAYS better than farming other areas. My little magelet's AoE means I can farm mobs fast to maximise loot!

Another thing I tried this week (mainly through boredom!) was fishing. I had read that Volatiles could be farmed this way and decided to give it a try. Initially I didn't catch much other than junk but I decided to go farm the lava pools in Cannon's Inferno. If you fish directly into the little fire pools, it's a 100% chance of Volatile Fire. Each pool yields about 5 before it disappears but that is still a great rate if you're the only one there! I read that the fire pools in Hyjal are a great place to fish too. I haven't been yet but I will update when I have!

The great thing about fishing in Cannon's Inferno is that you can do it as soon as you get a fishing rod. You don't have to be high level in your fishing to do this, just so long as you can handle your business with the elementals that surround the pools!

Now, onto Volatile Air...
