El's Angling Made Me Rich

1. Kreight, April 2009:

   Sort of.

   I tried posting this in the Blizzard professions forum and got, at best, some indifferent comments. I feel, though, that the readers here will be a little more receptive. One of the comments I got was that as far as efficient money making techniques go this one is far from perfect, but it just so happens that it fits my time schedule well. It's also primarily based around fishing, in which everyone here is already well versed.

   So it was El's that really gave me the original idea. I was already at 450 in both my fishing and cooking, but I was reading over the cooking/fishing leveling guide here. The thought was this... Could I just go out and follow that guide, fish up the amounts detailed therein, pick up the recipes, cookbooks, quest requirements, etc, and then sell them in one big package?

   I decided to give it a shot. I think the first run through was maybe 5 hours total fishing and farming mobs. I didn't buy anything. When I was done, I used a friend's alt as a test subject. The idea was that we could just park the alt in Dal and use it to run the cooking quest and get Northern Spices. Incidentally, I only did 1-400. You can't get to 450 in one sitting, and 400 lets you cook the recipes bought with the cooking awards, so it was a good place to stop.

   So it pretty much went off without a hitch. It was about 45 minutes, 1-400, and that included getting to Gadget for the artisan quest. 3.1 has made things easier as you can get artisan at the trainers, and you don't need to pick up the cookbooks any longer.

   So once I knew it was doable, I gathered two more sets of mats and tried to sell them. I'm not sure what amount I tried at first, but soon after I set upon 1250g as my price. Things went so well I haven't stopped since.

   If people are interested in specifics I'd be happy to share, but one of the complaints about my forum post was that it was too long, and people didn't want to read walls of text. The short version is this.... I've sold almost 70 of these kits in the last 3 months, and have probably made between 60,000 - 70,000g. (I don't always charge full price.)

   One thing that makes this work is that I'm enjoying running an in game business. If you're a hard-core raider and most of your time is spent running instances this might not be for you. But if you'd like to try something new and make a little cash, you might want to give it a shot.

2. SlugSalter, April 2009:

   I would be very interested in specifics, this sounds right up my street.

3. AbsolutRunner, April 2009:

   I also am interested in hearing more. Perhaps you could link the post you put in the official forums, or flesh it out here, as you wish!

1. Desertbull, April 2009:

   I like fishing, my guild has been disbanded, my wallet is always empty.
   Tell us more please, fishers are used to be patient, so don't worry we couldn't manage to read a wall of text.

2. e2thex, April 2009:

   I have thought about selling "powerleveling packages" before but I've always been too lazy to try it. I'm glad to hear that you've been successful at it and would love to hear more.

3. Kreight, April 2009:

   I actually wrote up a bunch of stuff already because a friend of mine wanted to try this. That was a couple of months ago, so I'm trying to run through and update things a little. I should be done pretty soon, though, so check back in a few hours.

4. Kreight, April 2009:

   Ok, all done. Like I said, it's pretty lengthy. If anyone actually decides to go through with this, keep me in the loop. I'd be really interested to find out how things are working for you, and if you've done anything new that I hadn't thought of.

5. Aqusia, April 2009:

   I got extremely excited when I read your document! I absolutely <3 fishing and cooking, so this is perfect for me ^_^ I am going to just try it for myself at first without the whole kits thing, but your walkthrough is comprehensive enough that I feel completely confident in printing it out, and follow your word to the letter when I do want to start my own business.

   My only question is, can you have a guild bank without being a part of a guild? Is it possible to be the only person in the guild? I would like to try this with a guild bank tab, but I'm worried that another person would take all my beautiful mats. How do you achieve this without problems?

6. Rodge, April 2009:

   Fantastic idea - I levelled up 3 chars to high level cooking and I'd certainly have paid 1250 gold rather than doing that!

   My only question is, can you have a guild bank without being a part of a guild? Is it possible to be the only person in the guild? I would like to try this with a guild bank tab, but I'm worried that another person would take all my beautiful mats. How do you achieve this without problems?

   What you do is you get a guild charter - then get 9 people to sign your charter (you can usually get people to sign up an alt for 1-5g fee in any city.
   Then when you turn in your charter and create your guild, you can kick everyone out of the guild again. You don't even need to kick them out - as it's your guild then you're the only person with admin rights to the gbank so you can revoke all priveleges to everyone except yourself.

7. Kreight, April 2009:

   The only thing I have to add about starting your own guild is that they're a bit of a pain. Getting that charter means standing around begging people for signatures. I was offering 10g a pop at one time and spent maybe half an hour without getting any. Maybe it was just dumb luck. Before getting your own charter, you might try asking in trade chat if anyone has a guild you can buy.

   Tabs increase in price each time you purchase one. They start at 100g for the first, then 250g, 500g, 1000g, 2500g and 5000g. The first 3 tabs are totally worth it, and even the fourth 1000g tab wasn't too bad when I was really running out of space. I can't quite bring myself to pay more, since I can always just make more alts for next to nothing. I realize that's not an option for everyone since some people have their 10-characters filled with alts they actually play.

   I lucked out with my first bank and bought it outright; 3 tabs for 450g which was a great deal. What's more, the guy left a ton of crap in it and I probably made close to 200g selling it all.

   My second bank on Khadgar was loaned to me by a nice customer I had that wasn't using it. It was only a single tab, but not having to go through the charter business made it totally worth it. I've since bought two more tabs. I'm not sure if he wants it back when I'm done with it, but even if he does, the 750g for the two tabs I bought it the cost of doing business. I've got full control of the guild, and he doesn't have access to my stock.

   My last bank was from another past customer, and he's actually still the GM, so if he wanted to he could snatch all my stuff. Some people you just trust, though, and this guy is one of them. Technically I'm leasing his bank, since I paid him rent for several months.

   So try to buy one first. If you can find someone who you really trust, you can try renting one without them giving up guild control. Or you can just make your own.

8. Kreight, April 2009:

   Oh, I thought of a couple more things... Advertising via direct mail and coupons!

   Coupons! No, I'm not nuts. Here's how you make an in game coupon. Unfortunately you need to have a crafting profession, so if you're all gathering you're out of luck. Get some mats and make up a bunch of one of your lowest level items. On Khadgar I picked up tailoring and made some linen cloaks. Now you've got some items that can't be duplicated, because your name is tacked onto them because you created it. (Not that anyone would probably care enough to try and cheat you, but having coupons is just cool.)

   Now you've got a coupon you can hand out. You can give them to customers you've just trained, and tell them it's 100g off for whoever uses it, so they can give it to a friend or a guildmate.

   I've also done referral fees with some success. For a while I was actually paying out 125g. The idea being that other people would do your word of mouth advertising for you and bring you customers, and you'd send them a little kickback. 125g might have been a little high. I like the coupon idea, with 100g off, and 50g for the referrer. That seemed to work well.

   I tried a little direct mail, too. I wrote up an add, and then sent that to like 10 random people I saw standing around in SW, along with a coupon. That actually didn't work, too well. I only had one person use it. He actually used the coupon, though, which I thought was awesome. He's also the guy who lent me his guild bank.

9. Azaguth, April 2009:

   AWESOME document Kreight. I read through it all, and I must say, I suddenly feel stupid for not having come up with something like this myself.

   The only thing that held me back from coming up with something like this is the knowledge that many people are wary of "package deals" that require more than one secure trade, at least from my understanding. But of course, you blew that theory out of the water.

   All I can say is, wow. Nice.

10. el, April 2009:

    It's a very interesting idea - thanks for the write-up. Packaging up everything (including advice) one needs to power-level a profession has a lot of potential.

    As a footnote, fish-to-order was done by Elite Fish Vendor, although Blizzard didn't seem to like the idea of that being advertised.

11. Aqusia, May 2009:

    The only thing I did not see in your guide is a shopping list! So I made one for Alliance for the Cooking 1-300 portion.

Fish Feast

1. zdirnats, December 2008:

   After checking with the Proper Cooking Authorities in Dalaran, I have found this recipe is not available through the regular means. Does it require reputation as well as the 450 skill?

   Thanks for any help in acquiring this delicacy of fishy goodness!

   By the way Ol Man Barlow gave me a hat yesterday because he saw the sun was beating on my poor little bald gnome head too heavily!

2. Caniki, December 2008:

   It will be purchasable with 5 Dalaran Cooking Tokens, which are rewards from the daily cooking quest. Once you have it, it requires 450 Cooking to learn.

3. el, December 2008:

   Just to clarify: Fish Feast is not yet in the live game - only on Public Test Realms.

   Ah thank you, that explains why, even though I have tried to beat it out of the vendor with a Big Iron Fishing pole, he kept saying "IDK,IDK"

   So I will send my 12 million fish into the mail with a lot of dry ice and wait for the vendor to get his logistical update.

2. Isa, December 2008:

   It will help leveling Cooking, too! Just wasted some awards away... I find cooking more frustrating than fishin' to be honest.

   the desire to cook it will help level cooking, but if it requires 450 just to learn the recipe...
   looks like I'll be wasting a ton more spices trying to get those last 3 levels of cooking.

4. Darkcat, December 2008:

   I was disappointed when I saw the Fish Feast requirements and benefit provided. 4 spice for that? I hate using Feasts in raids solely because, like elixirs, they go poof when you die.

Waterlogged Recipe

1. el, June 2009:

   I've managed to find one Waterlogged Recipe so far (on the 3.2 PTR) - image. This gave 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards (plus some gold and 250 Kirin Tor reputation).

   I'm curious to know if there is just one recipe, or whether there are several possible quests? So if anyone is on the PTR and doing the fishing daily, please post what you find.

2. TheTacoMan, June 2009:

   I've heard the recipes are tradeable? If that's true, they will sell for quite a bit, as cooking awards have such a large range of uses (getting northern spices, getting recipies for the northend gourmet achievement, getting the chef's hat).

   Luckily for me, i already have the Chef title and am about 10 awards away from my hat :P, so hey, free gold!

3. Boyardee, August 2009:

   I got the Waterlogged Recipe as a reward from a Dalaran fishing daily.
   Easy quest once you get the recipe and it is tradeable.

   As soon as I got the quest and the 5 cooking awards for completing it, I looked up info on it and discovered that there was one for sale in AH for 150g. Well, I was so close to getting my Chef title and I really wanted it, so I bought it and completed the quest to finally get my Chef title.

   I have no idea how rare this is, but I've only gotten it once.

   - Chef Boyardee

1. el, August 2009:

   Waterlogged Recipe are roughly a 10% chance - although that's only based on 62 bags (I'd been storing them from before the patch). This will vary a lot between realms, but I've been selling them for as much as 500 gold each.

2. Narinae, August 2009:

   I've gotten two Waterlogged Recipes, one on patch day itself. I didn't even think to check if they're tradeable or not though, so that's great news. I'm two awards from my Chef hat so I can start selling any of these I get in the future. Thanks for the tip!

3. ClemSnide, September 2009:

   Waterlogged Recipes, like Vials of Poison, are tradable and sellable. They're a great way to catch up one of your charas in Kirin Tor rep, and are both repeatable; I've had two on the same day, sent to the same chara, and turned in one after the other.

4. Cherel, September 2009:

   I've gotten several of these. I need Kirin Tor rep on my alts more than I need gold so I use them as hand-me-downs.

Pilgrim achievment cooking

1. beerforme, November 2009:

   It has come to my attention that the cooking stuffs starts at 1, and if you buy enough of the mats.. you should be able to get to around 340-350 range when the last one turns grey.

   I would love to be able to verify this on my toons, but only have 1 at lvl 60+ and he all the cooking achievments... need someone to attempt this please and verify.

   Thanks,
   Beerforme

2. el, November 2009:

   It is possible. You can use vendor items up to about 290 cooking skill. And reach about 350 by killing Turkeys. Of course this only lasts one week.

3. Thay, November 2009:

   Just a couple of things to note about doing this.

   You will have to travel to some of the major cities

   Start with Stuffing & Pie in SW
   then Cranberries in IF
   then Sweet Potato in Darn
   then back to SW to hunt turkeys. (Or hunt some before leaving SW the 1st time)

   The location specific ingredients are Conjured, so no mailing them or AHing them.
   If you have a mage friend you can speed things up & they can be traded manually.

   My bank alt I tested this on, was a hundred and something already in cooking.
   She's now 300, Although Turkeys take you further the cooking trainer near the tables doesn't teach Master, so I'll need to go to Outlands or Northrend to go above 300.

   Note: My alt is only Level 12, cooking doesn't have Level reqs, just cooking Reqs.

   Edit: Master Training acquired - comical to see a Lv12 in Northrend, but 'twas the fastest way.
   Time to go Turkey hunting....

   Thay

1. Renetta, November 2009:

   This got one of my alts to 350. The turkey recipe is still green at 350 but I didn't manage to get another level tick from the remaining 8 or so turkeys I had. My guess is that you can get no further than 355, because all the previous recipes turned green to gray very fast.

   In principle you'll need to cook somewhere between 60-80 of each type of recipe to get from 1 to 350, and the levels of each recipe is stacked such that this pretty much works out.

   With running and all it took me around 2 hours solo (having no mage and just 1 HS cooldown to work with).

   This will not cost you a dime overall as you get solid cash back from the quests you turn your food in for. I ended up with +5 gold (that's a gain) when done.

2. Sca1ey, March 2010:

   I would suggest when fishing at Lorderon Lake up to Cooking 175 that you kill the Snapjaws on the south of the lake to get clams (about 50% drop rate) that give Tangy Clam Meat which you can use in the recipe Goblin Deviled Clams which is Orange after Bristle Whiskered Catfish has gone yellow. They also drop Turtle Meat which can be used in the recipe Soothing Turtle Bisque which can be bought (or if you haven't done the quest - you can get it as a reward for 10 of your meat) at Tarren Mill and learned at 175 alongside Mithril Headed Trout.

Feasts not soulbound

1. ashyni, April 2009:

   Remember how feasts were soulbound and you could only vendor them?

   No longer. Just mailed my bank alt a stack of Fish Feast.

2. el, April 2009:

   Interesting. According to the tooltips: Fish Feast requires 425 cooking to use. Gigantic and Small Feasts require 375 cooking to use. All require level 70.

3. ashyni, April 2009:

   Yup. But my level 2 bank alt just stuffed 5 of them in AH with no trouble.

4. Dethwolf, April 2009:

   well, the feasts in BC were auctionable ...I sold many...Blizz may be getting around to fixing an oversight..

   Or the hotfix will be in by morning lol!
