World of Warcraft Midlevel Fishing Guide...
2008-06-04 11:56 PM PDT
"These WoW user submitted guides are becoming extremely popular and the best part about them is the fact that I can not read everyone's minds when it comes to finding guides for this website. Everyone has their own unique way of doing things in-game and this is just another FANTASTIC guide from Sheytan who has put this to the test. Ok, ok...I'll quit boring you now, read the guide below... I have noticed several guides online for fishing. Most have been for high level characters fishing in places you can't reasonably get to until your level 50+. I've done some research on my own to find out the best places to fish for ""money fish"". This is done from the perspective of a level 31 horde character. There is alot of money to be made in fishing. Maybe not as fast as other professions but steady income with just 30 minutes to an hour of your playing time. It is also one of the cheapest professions to make money with. I also recommend getting your cooking skill up as you get your fishing skill up. Several fish sell better when cooked. Raw Sagefish and Deviate Fish are the main midlevel money fish that require cooking. First, you should go to a fishing trainer in your city. I suggest fishing in the waters there because it is safe, no threat of anything attacking while you are leveling up your fishing skill. Thunder Bluff has a pond, Org has a pond and you can fish in the sewers of Undercity. Level your fishing up to 75. You will miss a few at first and the fish will be ""throw aways"". Retrain. At this time I suggest either buying a fishing enchant to your gloves or investing a few silver in a fishing pole that will give you +fishing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of fish and where to find them. I fished most places until I caught 35 fish and recorded what I caught. It took me apx. 15 minutes to catch 35 fish. The exceptions are for places that you need to fish the schools to benefit. Deviate...

World of Warcraft Enchanting Facts
2008-06-04 11:52 PM PDT
"personally, do not do any enchanting at all. I will start after reading thru these tidbits here as this guide gives just enough information to get started and be on the right path to making a lot of World of Warcraft gold with enchanting! Enchanting should always be on your alt not your main guy. --Why. Well your main guy will be your beginning gateway to green items and your main source of income till you get higher in levels/skills Invest in bank space and big bags. --Enchants requires a lot of reagents, so space is a must. Every item you get should be sent to your alt for disenchanting. -- if selling items is how you make your money like me, then send items that will disenchant for useful reagents for higher grade enchants. Advertise in your capital town that you can enchant -- WTS enchants: +7 Stamina to Bracers, Enchanting items /tell for what you want .. stuff like that... Let them know that youll enchant again if they need and to have them add you to their friends list. --Build a clientele. Again you're enchanting to make money. So the more people you have wanting enchants the faster you'll make money. Farm instance often --Since you need an ample supply of reagents you will need a lot of items to disenchant, so farming instances is a must. Things you can do during the lower levels of enchanting. --Enchant the grey items you pick up along the way. If you dont need the reagents, enchant then sell the item to a vendor and make some money for it. --If you dont need reagents dont destroy them! offer FREE enchanting to lower level players. This will help build clientele. Tell them what you want for the enchant. This is your enchanting fee / tip. --Enchanting isnt a big market so YOU'RE the going rate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell them what you want for the enchant, but dont say an outragous price. Bear in mind of how much the reagents cost, how important it is for you to skill up, and the potential of a returning customer. --Negotiating is for...

How To Level Fishing and Cooking To 300
2008-06-04 11:39 PM PDT
"Here is the program: Lvl 1-75: fish the shit outta the n00b zone. You can do the whole thing in less than an hour. Just make sure you start by adding Shiny Baubles to your pole every 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes. Now, every n00b zone fishing trainer has a fishing supplies vendor or a Trade goods vendor very nearby who sells cooking recipes. You get the recipe for Brilliant Smallfish or Slitherskin Mackerel. Cooking just the fish you catch will get your cooking skill above 50, which is a necessity before moving on the the next zone. Lvl 50-125 (yes, there is some overlap here) fish in the zone following your race’s transition zone. Horde go to Ratchet or the Silverpine coast, Alliance, fish Loch Moden, Darkshore or the Westfall coast. Make sure you buy the recipe for either Longjaw Mud Snapper or Rainbow fin Albacore, these are the lvl50 cooking recipes necessary for further skill-ups. Again, the recipes are always available in or near the town closest to the waters in which you can catch the fish. At some time, you will start to catch Bristle Whisker Catfish, which requires cooking lvl 100. If you are not to the right level yet, save the fish until your cooking catches up by cooking the Albacore/Mudsnappers you are also catching. This is the last time your fishing will be ahead of your cooking. Further, in the second zones mentioned, you will start to catch Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper, fish you can’t cook, but which are “money fish” meaning that you can sell them on AH for sometimes big profit. At one time, Oily’s were bringing 15s. each in IF. When I was learning the economy, way back when I was a n00b, I made my first (smallish) fortune just selling Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper which I had caught using a fish-bot, which I have since abandoned. Also, for you adventurous Allies, the Money fish of all money fish, Deviates can be caught at this level.

WoW Mage PvP Guide - Frost Mage PvP Spec...
2008-06-04 11:36 PM PDT
&quot;This guide is really a cookie cutter build for all you PvP mages out there that want to own a lot in Arena and Battlegrounds. With Frost Mage PvP you really want to focus on a 0/5/56 build (0 in Arcane, 5 in Fire, 56 in Frost). Below I will outline what talents will help you out a lot with it as well. Fire Tree Impact (5 points) - This talent spell will give all your Fire spells a 10% chance to stun the target for 2 seconds. This is extremely valuable tool for PvP due to the fact it helps keep your enemy slowed down enough to do some major damage to them before they can reach you. Frost Tree Improved Frostbolt (5 points) - This talent will decrease the casting time of your frostbolt spell by a half a second. Who wouldn't want to cast this faster. Elemental Precision (3 points) - This talent reduces mana cost and chance targets resists your Frost and Fire spells by 3%. Ice Shards (5 points) - Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Frost spells by 100%. Frost Bite (3 points) - Gives your Chill effects a 15% to freeze the target for 5 seconds. Improved Frost Nova (2 points) - Reduces the cooldown of your Frost Nova spell by 4 seconds. Permafrost (3 points) - This increases the duration of your Chill effects by 3 seconds and reduces the target speed by an additional 10%. You can start to see the power of this build especially against any melee attacker (Warriors tend to come to mind here). Keep them CC'ed and blast away at them. Can bring you in a pretty quick win against them. Piercing Ice (3 points) - This increases the damage of all your Frost spells by 6%. Coldsnap (1 point) - This is an extremely useful instant spell which when used it finishes the cooldown on all your frost spells. <hr />The only downside with this is that it has a 10 minute cooldown itself, but then again if it didn't have such a long cooldown Mage PvP would be even more overpowered than it currently is. Artic Reach (2 points) - Increases the range of your Frostbolt and Blizzard spells and the radius of your...

Druid Powerleveling Guide
2008-06-04 11:31 PM PDT
&quot;After realizing that most guides found the internet were focused on the most played characters classes in World of Warcraft. (I know, I know.....DUH!) I decided to bring along a much needed druid guide to powerleveling. It took a while to find one on the internet that many people have used and feel like it is the best one to post here to help druids out. Anyway, i'll be quiet now and let you get on with checking out the guide. NOTE: This build is a bit tweaked toward a PvP server as that is the kind of server that I play on, so you might need to tweak it a little bit for PvE. I've also assumed that you'll be soloing right up until 60 (if you start doing high end instances before then you'll probably be forced to re-spec Resto like the rest of us are). Also bear in mind this sequence may have a few steps which look pointless but in fact those steps are in there to jump to the next useful talent. Lvl 10 - Nature's Grasp - rank 1/1 This is for the sole reason that it's an EXCELLENT backup when you get ganked. Hammer it on and RUN (if you can't heal and sort them out) Lvl 11 - Lvl 15 - Ferocity - rank 5/5 As we're going to be concentrating on levelling as fast as possible we're heading up the Feral Tree as fast as possible. Ferocity is a better choice than Feral Aggression as FE is more for protection, whereas Ferocity helps with attacking. Lvl 16 - Lvl 20 - Feral Instinct - rank 5/5 OR Thick Hide - rank 5/5 This is entirely based on your style of play. If you enjoy sneaking up behind enemies in cat form and then shredding them up go for Feral Instinct. If you prefer to just dive straight in and not bother with stealth go for Thick Hide. Lvl 21 - Lvl 23 - Sharpened Claws - rank 3/3 6% Crit chance increase. <hr />Nice little boost for your feral fighting. Lvl 24 - Feral Charge - rank 1/1 Great for duels, 1v1 PvP and stopping mobs tagging other ones. Lvl 25 - Feline Swiftness - rank 1/2 Nothing really significant but a little extra speed in cat form. Lvl 26 - Lvl 28 - Predatory Strikes - rank 3/3...

Using The Auction House To Create Cheap ...
2008-06-04 9:36 PM PDT
"There are multiple ways to create cheap WoW gold at the auction house but due to time i'm only going to share one way in this guide. Keep in mind that I will be adding more guides later and more auction house guides also. I call it ""cheap"" gold because you do not have to spend real money to get this gold! I guess I should call it FREE gold instead. Buy low, sell high! You always hear that but how do you use that to your advantage. That's what this guide is all about. First thing you MUST do is download/install the auctioneer addon. This addon will save you tons of time in the future as it will help you find items that are selling way below actual prices. This is by far the best addon I have ever seen. (Probably because I spend 90% of the time in game at the auction house!) Once you have auctioneer installed you will want to just scan the auction house a lot for about a week to get accurate values on items. By a lot I mean no more than 3 times a day. Try to do morning, afternoon, and then again in the evening. world of warcraft gold What's that you say. You have to work. Well, you do not want to scan less than once per day. I find myself only scanning 2 times a day because I don't have a whole lot of free time anymore to play. Now that you have at least a week worth of data you can start finding things to buy for pennies while you sell them for gold! There is a function in auctioneer that will tell you what items are selling for way cheap and you can even specify for it to show items that will make you 5-10 gold if you want.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably one of the BEST features of the auctioneer addon! Once you do that you will also want to do a manual search on the auction house to double check prices and make sure that the price wasn't dropped because of that item being flooded on the auction house. You will also want to check to make sure how many times the item has been listed on the auction house since you started...
