Finding recipes is the mark of a dedicated collector--beyond dutifully ticking off achievements and diligently doing tasks simply for points. You are solely responsible for setting your collecting pace; the freedom can be frustrating at times, but exhilarating when you've finished a subset of recipes and feel like you've solved part of a large jigsaw puzzle, hunting down recipes from obscure instances and reputations. It's fun to chase down patterns across Azeroth, when so many achievements and quests are now straightforward. Plus, you may even find generous twinks willing to tip hundreds of gold for obscure recipes!
I began to collect recipes seriously during the dog-days of ICC. I rolled a priest to learn inscription techniques and tailoring patterns, as well as a deathknight to learn most blacksmithing. I began to care more about enchanting on my rogue, finished up most engineering schematics on my warlock, and hoped for transmute discoveries again on my alt rogue. For obscure reasons, Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking have never held a particular charm--perhaps it's because I rolled these professions purely for raid benefits and blithely unlearned them to pick up Tailoring and Engineering mounts.
It's been over a year, and I'm still rounding these collections out. I really enjoyed figuring out what Burning Crusade reputations my then-fresh 85 needed to grind out for a pattern, or what vanilla boss needed to be soloed. Since the project has started, there's been raid progression and achievement-hunting taking priority at points, but it's always been fun to return to.
Ackis Recipe List
is a great mod to use to track down all recipes and their methods of acquisition. Our own Wowhead profiler also keeps track of your recipes as well.
In the following tabs, I'll highlight some of the quirky patterns, collection methods, and achievements for each profession. We've recently updated our profession pages to cover the practicalities of each profession, so check back there for the profession trainers and other nuts and bolts!
Primary Professions
Getting the basics out of the way first: your character can learn two primary professions at a time. These are:
Alchimia
,
Forgiatura
,
Incantamento
,
Ingegneria
,
Erbalismo
,
Runografia
,
Oreficeria
,
Estrazione
,
Scuoiatura
,
Sartoria
. Maxing out two primary professions to 525 will grant
Lavorare al caldo
. If you've learned a mount, that will remain in your spellbook, but you won't be able to use it. All recipes are forgotten upon dropping a profession.
Alchemy
Alchemists can create numerous potions and elixirs, as well as transmuting elements and gems. There are numerous world drops, recipes from unique vendors, rewards for reputation grinds, as well as
discoveries
learnt while creating other items.
Discoveries are one way to learn many recipes. In the process of making other items, you'll have a small chance to learn new recipes.
BC-era resistance cauldrons
are discovered through making individual
Major Protection Potions
, which are mostly mob-specific drops.
The remaining BC-era
transmutes
,
flasks
, and
potions
are discovered through making any type of BC-era item (speculation is that it's been changed so that discoveries favor the type of item you are crafting).
Northrend Alchemy Research
, available at 400 on a 3 day cooldown, has a chance to teach you 13 recipes.
Transmuting Northrend Eternals allows you to discover further
transmutes
.
17
recipes
are BoP from specific mobs. The droprates appear lower than expected since it takes into account all the non-Alchemists who have looted this mob and have been unable to see the recipes.
Ricetta: Pozione Maggiore della Difesa dal Sacro
is still a pain to farm because there aren't many mobs;
Ricetta: Pozione dello Scudo di Ferro
takes a while to reach in Old Hillsbrad. The rest aren't too bad; farming Outlands heroics or clumps of outdoor mobs shouldn't take very long.
There are vendors all over Azeroth who sell
special recipes
, some on limited respawns like
Ricetta: Olio del Freddo
.
New to Cataclysm is
Ricetta: Fiala delle Sabbie
, sometimes found in
Vaso Canopo
, a Tol'vir archaeology solve.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmiths mainly craft plate armor as well as
Fibbia d'Ebanacciaio
s. Collecting Blacksmithing recipes is a difficult process as you will be trying to find plans itemized for tanks, dps,
and
healers. There used to be crafting specializations (e.g. Weaponsmith, Armorsmith) allowing players to learn a handful of plans--this has been removed but it's still buggy as players can't learn the opposing specialization's patterns. Of course, there's many patterns available via
reputation
as well. Blacksmithing is already difficult to level, so good luck if you want to be a completionist!
Besides trainers, a good chunk of
recipes
can be gotten by turning in Cata-level bars to Blacksmithing suppliers in major cities.
There's a series of
Advanced Armorsmithing
books from various vanilla instances, that when put together and returned to their rightful NPCs, reward you with the
Enchanted Thorium
set.
From MC to Firelands, there's a series of recipes unique to raids:
Molten Core
,
Ulduar
,
Trial of the Crusader
,
Sunwell Plateau
,
Hyjal Summit
,
SSC
,
Black Temple
, and
Firelands
.
There's several series of BoP armor sets that are very difficult to farm up:
Runic Plate
,
Reinforced Cobalt
,
Ragesteel
,
Felsteel
, and
Khorium
.
Turning in enough
Testo Crepuscolare Codificato
to
Eremita Ortell
in Silithus should get you the
Darkrune set
eventually in the mail.
The
Barbaric
series is only available Horde-side, in a series of quests from
Orokk Omosh
. As the resulting patterns are BoE, you can move them across factions.
Lokhtos Pattoscuro
, a member of the Thorium Brotherhood found in Blackrock Depths, sells numerous blacksmithing patterns. He also finishes the quest
Un contratto vincolante
, rewarding you with
Progetto: Martello di Sulfuron
.
Completing
Armamenti aggiuntivi
in the Molten Front unlocks many ilvl 365 epic plans.
Progetti di Forgiatura
which spawn in fixed locations in Blackrock Depths and Stratholme, can contain
Progetto: Corruzione
(negative stats ftw),
Progetto: Serenità
,
Progetto: Corazza di Maglia di Ferroscuro
,
Progetto: Spallacci di Ferroscuro
.
There were some great Blacksmithing quests which were removed in Cataclysm.
Lilith la Snella
and her friends in Winterspring used to teach weapon specializations, sending you on quests to vanilla instances that rewarded you with patterns.
Progetto: Pettorale Corazzato Forgiato dal Demone
was a quest reward from Winterspring as well, but it's since been removed with the revamps to the zone.
Progetto: Guanti Lunghi a Piastre Ardenti
, from the removed quest
, amusingly taught you that fire was in fact bad. And saddest of all is the removal of Trenton Light's epic questline in Tanaris, which rewarded mithril enthusiasts with
Fregio di Mithril Luccicante
and
Ninnolo con Sigillo della Perizia
, which summoned the epic hammer
Martello della Perizia
.
Enchanting
Enchanting
allows players to disenchant items, create enchants, and enchant their rings with special stat boosts. There's also fun items like
Lampada Magica
! As expansions have gone by, the means to collecting these formulae have simplified but some vanilla and BC-era formulae will prove tricky to find. Many Wrath formulae can be purchased from
Vanessa Sellers
for Wrath-era shards, and
Cata formulae
for
Frammento Divino
s and
Cristallo del Maelstrom
s.
Several instances have unique BoP formulae:
Ulduar
,
Temple and Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj
, and
Formula: Incanta Arma - Mangusta
,
Formula: Incanta Arma - Freddanima
,
Formula: Incanta Arma - Fuoco Solare
, and
Formula: Incanta Stivali - Passo Sicuro
from Karazhan. Molten Core has two,
Formula: Incanta Arma - Potere di Guarigione
and
Formula: Incanta Arma - Potenza Magica
, but those are at least BoE.
Specific mobs
in BC used to have a very low chance to drop certain formulae. They've since been buffed to be nearly 100%.
Keep scouring the AH for these rare drops:
Formula: Incanta Scudo - Parata Inferiore
,
Formula: Incanta Scudo - Parata
,
Formula: Incanta Torso - Attributi Superiori
. Hopefully, nobody will know they are important and you can snag them for like I did. BC-recipes are also harder to find than in the past; in the old version of Zul'Aman, the food vendor had a chance to sell a scroll case containing a rare recipe.
Northrend has some
mob-specific recipes
: cape enchants from various parts of Icecrown and a +fishing enchant from the In'dule in Dragonblight.
With the changes to Cataclysm, it seems some recipes were lost along the way. You can still find these by checking the AH.
Vello da Incantatore Antico
used to drop from treants in Ashenvale,
Formula: Incanta Arma - Toccogelido
from Highborne in Winterspring,
Formula: Incanta Arma - Crociato
from the Scarlet Crusade, and
Formula: Incanta Arma - Carnefice
from Old Zul'Aman. The uncommon recipes are all BoE--so keep checking the AH.
Engineering
Engineering
provides all sorts of bombs, goggles, gadgets, and fun flavor items. Engineers were in high demand to craft epic ammunition in past expansions, but that's been removed. There are two types of Engineering specializations: Gnomish and Goblin. You will not be able to retain knowledge of one specialization's schematic if you swap, so choose wisely if you're after a particular silly item.
Sunwell Plateau has a series of
BoE engineering goggles
, which allow players to upgrade their BC-era epic goggles. The drop rate is pretty tiny though.
Other instances with unique schematics include Karazhan (
Mirino d'Eternio Stabilizzato
) and Molten Core (
Schema: Ultramirino Bizz 247x128
,
Schema: Archibugio del Tiratore Scelto
,
Schema: Disco Elettroreattivo
).
Gnomeregan is the quintessential engineering instance--unsurprisingly, there are
many drops
, especially from
Mekgeniere Termospin
. Look out especially for
Schema: Monocolo dell'Artigiano
and
Schema: Deflettore di Fiamme
, as well as
Salopette da Costruttore Meccanico
, a zone-wide drop that requires Engineering to equip.
The
Celebrazione della Luna
awards you with
many firework schematics
if you take the time to collect
Moneta degli Avi
.
There are several BoP Outlands drops that are maddening to farm:
Schema: Cannalunga di Vilacciaio
,
Schema: Visori dell'Ultravista
,
Schema: Mirino di Korio
,
Schema: Stivali Razzo Extremi
, and
Schema: Stivali Razzo Extremi Leggeri
. There's also some other mob-specific drops scattered about:
Schema: Archibugio d'Arcanite Perfetto
from Eastern Plaguelands,
Schema: Alfred
salvaged from any 70+ mechanical,
Schema: Robot di Riparazione 110G
from
Analizzatore Gan'arg
, and
Schema: Modulatore d'Amplificazione Vocale
in Stratholme, to mention a few.
Kaye Toogie
sells
Schema: Minidrago d'Arcanite
,
Schema: Minidrago Meccanico
, and
Schema: Minidrago Meccanico di Mithril
. She sits at the bottom of a dark chute in Dalaran, only accessible if you get the
Anomalia
option from
Generatore di Tunnel Spaziotemporali: Nordania
.
There used to be engineering huts tucked away in corners of Azshara,
The Hinterlands
, and
Stranglethorn Vale
; the vendors sold unique limited schematics. The one in Azshara is now removed, but those schematics are now available from trainers and the other huts remain in Cataclysm.
Temporarily out of commission in Cataclysm,
Zorbin Saldaleva
is back in 4.1 selling
Schema: Fuoco d'Artificio a Spirale Giallo
after you complete his two quests.
In previous expansions, Alliance and Horde needed to trade
Schema: Fuoco d'Artificio Blu
and
Schema: Fuoco d'Artificio Rosso
via the neutral AH, as faction-changing would automatically change the color of the firework. Now, goblin
Pienozeppo
is happy to sell you all types of fireworks--of course on a limited timer.
Robot di Riparazione 74A
is required to make
Alfred
, a must-have for any engineer. The plans are picked up from the floor of BRD near
Argelmach il Signore dei Golem
, in a similar fashion to the Blacksmithing recipes lying around the instance.
Completing
Armamenti aggiuntivi
unlocks the vendor for
Schema: Spararatti di Spezzaselce
and
Schema: Foratore ad Alto Impatto
.
Gathering
Gathering professions (
Herbalism, Mining, Skinning
) don't have much--they're really just quite practical.
Herbalism
has a neat animation when
is used--it summons a bunch of flowers. Also,
Seme Vitale
restore health and mana in addition to disguising the user as a random herb.
Mining
is also practical, but with a few interesting parts. You must complete
Il Calice Spettrale
in Blackrock Depths before learning
Fondi Ferroscuro
from
Furien'rel
.
Fondi Elementio Incantato
is learned in Blackwing Lair from
Guida dei Goblin dell'Elementio
dropped by
Maestro Plasmaelementi Krixix
.
Fondi Korio Indurito
is learned from
Studio di Fonditura Avanzata
, a zone-wide drop in Sunwell Plateau.
Inscription
Inscription
is a fairly straightforward profession for collectors. Make sure to do
and
daily while scouring the AH for
Libro della Maestria dei Glifi
. These books should have been phased out in 4.2, but it currently remains that some recipes are only learnt via them.
Rituali della Luna Nuova
transforms the user into a werewolf; fittingly the technique drops from
Silverbrook
mobs who are affected with a werewolf curse.
New to Cataclysm are
Scarabeo di Origami
from Uldum,
Roccia di Origami
from Deepholm, and
Melma di Origami
from Vash'jir. They're BoP drops only lootable by Inscriptionists.
Low-level decks like the
Mazzo dei Ladri
summon a Darkmoon Faire NPC who rewards you with themed gear like
Tonaca di Lunacupa
.
There's some other strange low-level offhand with odd equips:
Guida del Mangiatore di Fuoco
breathes fire,
Tomo Tempestoso
shocks enemies with nature damage,
Libro dei Trucchetti
increases your…dodge rating?!
Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting
, added in TBC, mostly provides players with gems, necks, and rings. Perks for Jewelcrafters include special BoP gems with increased stats, as well as BoP starter trinkets. There are an endless amount of patterns to be gotten from vendors, doing dailies, and redeeming tokens for Wrath and Cata recipes, in addition to checking the AH for BoE patterns. There's also some strange lower-level patterns and more interesting ways to collect TBC patterns.
New to Cataclysm are several
Vanity Monocles
, which are BoE world drops. These can fetch a hefty price on the Auction House.
At 350, players can learn how to craft several
focusing lens
, items which create a neon line between the player and the target.
Jewelcrafters can now directly purchase or discover designs from
Tomo dei Gioielli Ardenti
for cutting epic gems.
Sunwell Plateau has a few
unique designs
, some of which are BoP.
Several designs only drop from specific mobs in The Storm Peaks:
Modello: Opale Crepuscolare Accurato
,
Modello: Opale Crepuscolare del Difensore
,
Modello: Bagliore Autunnale Liscio
,
Modello: Smeraldo Silvano Radioso
. Not a 100% drop, but should be easy to farm.
The end bosses from some Northrend heroics are guaranteed to drop BoP recipes. From Normal/Heroic:
Modello: Diamante Terra Bruciata Austero
,
Modello: Diamante Terra Bruciata Tonificante
,
Modello: Diamante Terra Bruciata Perpetuo
. From Heroic:
Modello: Topazio Monarca Mortale
,
Modello: Topazio Monarca Abile
,
Modello: Topazio Monarca Feroce
,
Modello: Opale Crepuscolare Scintillante
,
Modello: Rubino Scarlatto Preciso
,
Modello: Bagliore Autunnale Scaltro
,
Modello: Opale Crepuscolare Eterno
.
Khorium Bands are BoP designs that are found throughout Outlands on specific mobs:
Modello: Vera delle Ombre di Korio
from
Ombromante del Conclave Oscuro
,
Modello: Vera delle Foglie di Korio
from
Falco della Morte di Vekh
,
Modello: Vera Arcana di Korio
from
Sterminamaghi
,
Modello: Vera Infernale di Korio
from
Syth il Mistico Oscuro
, and
Modello: Vera del Gelo di Korio
from
Occultista Spiraguzza
.
Several bosses drop designs:
Modello: Tiara del Vigore Arcano
from
Cacciatore delle Ere
,
Modello: Scorpide di Ferroscuro
from
Argelmach il Signore dei Golem
,
Modello: Diadema della Fiamma Verdeggiante
from
Botanica dei Cercatori del Sole
,
Modello: Granchio di Diamante Nero
from
Quartiermastro Zigris
.
Be sure to check the numerous
designs from reputation
, especially the epic BC cuts sold by
Indormi
from
Scaglie delle Sabbie
.
Leatherworking
Leatherworking
provides leather and mail armor to dps and healers, as well as special leg and bracer enchants for crafters (and
Modello: Solette Confortevoli
). There are numerous patterns to be collected, as the profession covers two armor types. Cata-level recipes require
Cuoio Selvaggio Pesante
to purchase from special vendors in Twilight Highlands and capital cities,
Braeg Barbaforte
sells Wrath-level patterns, and there's many patterns from
reputation
. There used to be three different types of Leatherworking specializations, but they have been removed and their patterns trainable from regular Leatherworking trainers (unlike the Blacksmithing glitch).
There's zone-specific drops, from MC to Firelands:
Ulduar
,
Trial of the Crusader
,
Firelands
,
Tier 5
,
Tier
6
,
Molten Core
, and
Sunwell Plateau
.
The
Stylin' Hat
series drops from mid-level Outland dungeons--they looks like cheerful safari hats.
There are
resistance armor kits
that drop in outlands dungeons from specific mobs.
There's some low-level sets that drop across Azeroth that are fairly easy to collect:
Heavy Scorpid
,
Frostsaber
,
Chimeric
, and
Stormshroud
.
Color-coded sets named after the dragonscales required to create them are as follows:
Green Dragonscale
,
Blue Dragonscale
,
Red Dragonscale
,
Black Dragonscale
.
Some of the Northrend
Fur Linings
are listed as BoP zone-wide drops in our database, meaning they drop from several types of mobs in a specific subzone. Other Fur Linings are learnt from trainers.
Riempire il Pozzo Lunare
from the Molten Front unlocks the vendor for
Modello: Cartella dello Scriba Reale
and
Modello: Sacco da Minatore con Triplo Rinforzo
.
Tailoring
Tailoring
provides all sorts of cloth armor for casters, as well as special leg and cape enchants for crafters, as well as mounts. It also allows you to loot greater quantities of cloth. Vendors in major capital cities and Twilight Highlands sell
new patterns
for
Rotolo di Telardente
and
Stoffaonirica
, while former specialization vendors (
Sartoria dell'Ombra
,
Sartoria della Luna
,
Sartoria dell'Incanto
) sell their previously-exclusive wares at cheap prices to all. Of course, there's many patterns available via
reputation
as well.
Tied to several achievements are patterns that Dalaran tailoring vendors will teach you upon completion.
Mantello di Mortegelida
is unlocked upon completing
Storico di Nordania
and
Mantello del Fuoco Fatuo
is unlocked upon completing
Maestro delle spedizioni di Nordania
.
There's zone-specific drops, from MC to Firelands:
Ulduar
,
Trial of the Crusader
,
Karazhan trash
,
Hyjal Summit
,
Black Temple
,
Tier 5
,
Sunwell Plateau
, and
Molten Core
.
Like
Blacksmithing
, turning in enough
Testo Crepuscolare Codificato
to
Eremita Ortell
in Silithus should get you the
Runed Stygian set
eventually in the mail.
There are a number of
BoP patterns
from Outlands instances--both normal and heroic. Remember that the ones from Kael are also world BoE drops.
Modello: Tonaca di Tramarcana
is pretty easy to farm from Mechanar and is one of the nicest robes in the game.
The
Mooncloth set
, from high-level vanilla mobs, is quite elusive to track down but you'll look like Tyrande afterwards. With many vanilla elites removed, several other vanilla patterns got even rarer:
Modello: Sacca Senza Fondo
,
Modello: Guanti della Maestria Magica
, for example.
The contents of
are now removed from the game, with the changes to Dire Maul. You can't learn how to make
Completo da Ogre Gordok
anymore as well--you can just acquire them from a repeatable quest. However, as the epic patterns are BoE, you may get lucky and find some remaining on the AH.
Modello: Maschera di Stoffa dell'Ombra
, from a removed quest in Searing Gorge, is also available via the AH as it is BoE.
There are several
shirts
around Northrend that only tailors can loot, but they are BoE so can also be placed on the AH.
Completing
Riempire il Pozzo Lunare
unlocks the vendor for
Modello: Sacca da Orafo di Seta di Lusso
.
Secondary Professions
Secondary professions are:
Archeologia
,
Cucina
,
,
Pesca
. Characters can maximize all of these professions concurrently. Unlike primary professions, secondary professions do not come with built-in stat boosts to your character, but they are very practical. For example, you can, with the right level
Cooking
, make your own buff food instead of going broke at the Auction House. (Or, secondary professions like
Archaeology
may seem like a lesson in futility.) If you max out all secondary professions to 525, you earn
Maggiori competenze remunerative
, but there's much more fun to be had.
Archaeology
Archaeology is a new secondary profession added in Cataclysm. The purpose of archaeology is to unearth fragments from the past, piecing them together to form artifacts. You'll do so by flying to specific digsites, discovering 3-6 fragments per node, and solving when you've accumulated enough fragments and keystones (roughly 30 per common artifact, 100+ for rares and epics.) Some solves vend for hundreds of gold, while others turn into BoA ilvl 359 epics. Other times, you can go hours finding annoying digsites and solving artifacts that vend for . Regardless of what you solve, at first it's a fun way to learn more about Azeroth's lore since all artifacts, found in the Archaeology spellbook, have an entry with fun flavor text.
As you solve more rare and epic artifacts, you'll work towards
Deve stare in un museo!
, which grants the title "Professor." There are currently over 30 rare artifacts, so you should be able to reach this with some diligence and luck. Definitely a favorite title of many disgruntled graduate students.
Rare artifacts are as follows:
BoA items:
Benedizione del Dio Antico
,
Guscio di Tartaruga Estinta
,
Copricapo del Primo Sciamano
,
Ascia Barbuta di Nifflevar
,
Pendente dello Sciame di Scarabei
,
Veste da Camera della Regina Azshara
,
Anello dell'Imperatore Bambino
,
Scimitarra dello Scirocco
,
Bastone di Ammunae
,
Bastone del Thane Occultista Thaurissan
,
Bambola Preferita di Tyrande
,
Zin'rokh, Distruttrice di Mondi
.
Mounts:
Raptor Fossilizzato
,
Scettro di Azj'aqir
,
Ricetta: Fiala delle Sabbie
Port:
Figlia del Locandiere
,
Ultima Reliquia di Argus
Pets:
Artiglio Strisciante
,
Gnomo Meccanico
,
Cucciolo di Raptor Fossilizzato
,
Cucciolo di Pterrordattilo
,
Statuetta Vudù
Misc:
Ossa della Trasformazione
,
Scatola Rompicapo di Yogg-Saron
,
Amuleto del Fuoco Fatuo
,
Ambra Antica
,
Arrivo dei Naaru
,
Calice dei Re della Montagna
,
Coppia di Statue di Druida e Sacerdote
,
Tamburo di Guerra Infestato
,
Specchio dell'Anima degli Alti Nobili
,
Campane del Vento dei Kaldorei
,
Corno per Libagioni dei Vrykul
While less useful, the common artifacts are rich in lore and have a number of achievements associated with them:
Tracce blu
(looks like a bad pug to me),
Re del sottosuolo
,
Sette scettri
,
Il ragazzo che voleva essere re
,
...Più rumore fanno quando cadono
,
Tragedia in tre atti
.
Cooking
Cooking serves a practical purpose; it provides your toon with all sorts of buff food, useful for raiding as well as questing. However, just like any food store, there's a gourmet section of odd things you can acquire from "mood" food to an array of alcohol.
Completing the Cooking meta-achievement,
Ave allo Chef
, will reward you with the title "Chef."
Cucinare con stile
requires you to acquire a
Chef's Hat
, which allows you to cook insanely fast when equipped. It costs 100
Premio Epicureo
, a reward for completing daily cooking quests in Dalaran. To speed things up,
Ricetta Fradicia
from
Sacca di Attrezzature da Pesca
awards 5
Premio Epicureo
and can also be found in
Sacchetto di Spezie
.
Gran Chef
requires you to learn most every
recipe
in the game. Here are some of the more fun recipes.
Birra di Capitan Rumsey
is learned from a recipe rarely found in cooking and fishing reward bags. It increases your fishing, gets you drunk, and counts for
Birra di Capitan Rumsey
.
Ricetta: Braciola Tempestosa
is another recipe found in cooking bags and from Outlands dailies. It periodically zaps mobs around you with lightning.
La torta non è una bugia
:
Deliziosa Torta al Cioccolato
, setting off fireworks and making your character
Molto Felice
, is learned from a recipe found in Outlands/Wrath cooking reward bags.
Cucina emozionante
: Four "mood" recipes drop from any mob in Northrend. You will need 300 cooking to roll on them, even though they require 400 cooking to learn. They are:
Bivalve Avariato
,
Mammut della Settimana Scorsa
,
Aringa Tormentata
,
Tortino Goloso
.
Pesce Mutante all'Acquapazza
, from a BoE zone-wide drop in the Barrens, turns you into a human ninja! Once an extremely rare recipe, the drop rate has been buffed in Cataclysm.
Cataclysm adds several more "flavor" recipes sold by new cooking vendors:
Ricetta: Liquore delle Alture
,
Ricetta: Tè Freddo all'Isolana
,
Ricetta: Biscotti al Cioccolato
(needed for
Ti sentirai leggero come l'aria
),
Ricetta: Cioccolata Calda
.
Vuoi un bocconcino?
:
Bocconcini Nordici
, when thrown at small critters, makes them follow you around.
Many vendors sell BoE recipes. On one level, there's roughly one low-level recipe from each faction, in addition to recipes sold in major cities.
Venditron 1000
that patrols Northern Desolace is the only seller of
Ricetta: Tagliata di Cervo
.
Super-Mercante 680
, patrolling Southern Desolace, sells several more recipes including the unique
Ricetta: Bistecca d'Orso Adulto
and
Ricetta: Controfiletto di Lupo
.
Ricetta: Tè di Sboccialesto
and
Ricetta: Braciole Caustiche alla Dirge
are no longer obtainable by new players.
Thistle Tea
is available to rogues, but very early in Vanilla, all classes could purchase a BoE version. There's still a few floating around, so it doesn't hurt to look. As for the Chops, the recipe was one reward from an epic questline tied to the opening of the AQ gates, now removed in Cataclysm.
Most players despaired when the Barrens was revamped in Cataclysm--it meant that
Ricetta: Stufato di Ratto di Fossa
was no longer available. It looks like it's been recently added back and drops from
Incursore degli Scavi
and
Soldato di Bael'dun
.
Enjoy making booze in Sholazar? If you've finished that chain, you can learn
Ricetta: Sbrogliabudella
from a
Mago Sfinito
in the Dalaran Sewers.
There's some fun items from the bags you get as daily rewards, as well as recipes like
Ricetta: Zuppa di Pesceteschio
. From
Cassa di Carne
there's
Anello d'Argento Annerito
, and from
Sacchetto di Spezie
there's
Minispezia
and
Vecchie Spezie
.
First Aid
First Aid
allows you to prepare bandages in a pinch--very useful while leveling. However, some achievements will definitely make you sick of bandages!
Manuale: Antiveleno Potenziato
may not look like much, but it's an incredibly rare world drop. Try to see if leveling toons ignorantly place this on the Auction House.
These achievements will make you sick of bandages:
Approvvigionamenti
and
Prepararsi al peggio
.
Triage
/
Triage
are neat quests that teach players how to prioritize heals among incoming damage.
Duel someone to easily get
Codice rosso
.
Angelique Butler
, residing in First to Your Aid in Dalaran, sells a variety of medical-related props.
Pozione Intravenosa di Cura
is similar to a lightwell--it has many charges and will disappear after it's used up.
Bendaggio Macchiato di Antisettico
and
Bendaggi per Ferite
are popular among raiders, while
Veste dell'Infermiera di Dalaran
is identical to what the First Aid trainers wear.
Fishing
Just as in real life,
Fishing
is a relaxing profession with a sense of the unexpected--you could find a great catch, discover treasure, or return home empty-handed. While some fish are required for practical in-game food, there are numerous items from
Fishing
that are purely vanity status items, like
Brandipolvere
.
Completing the fishing meta grants
Pescatore realizzato
and the funny title "Salty." This meta will require a good deal of patience.
Not required for the meta is
Tartarughe alla riscossa!
, granted when you fish up the elusive
Tartaruga di Mare
from any Wrath or Cataclysm pools. This mount is slow on land, but faster in water. Also unrelated to the meta are achievements for fishing up
Vecchio Boccaferro
and
Vecchia Volpe
.
Questo non è scappato
requires you to farm up extremely-rare fish; these will never be used in practical food. These are all quirky off-hands, and some like
Aringa Scura
are actual weapons.
Moneta di Titanio di Dalaran
is a great incentive to level fishing by searching for coins in the Dalaran fountain. Clicking on this coin creates a heads or tails emote--great for determining annoying raid assignments. It's a reward from
Maestro delle monetine
, which in turn requires you to farm up all the coins contained in
C'è dell'oro in quella fontana!
,
Una monetina per i tuoi pensieri
, and
Argento cittadino
. Gold-quality coins, when thrown back into the fountain, grant a buff that gives you a greater chance to fish up coins.
Over the expansions, the rewards from fishing dailies have contained a variety of humorous--and sometimes profitable--vendor trash. All bags have a chance to contain
Cappello da Pesca Consunto
and
Ricetta: Birra di Capitan Rumsey
, as well as some healing potions and lures.
Outlands:
The
Sacca di Attrezzature da Pesca
can contain
L'Altro Anello
and
Lenza di Verargento Intrecciato
, bank alt gear like
Boccale Decorato
,
Monocolo da Gentiluomo
,
Fede Nuziale Dorata
, and
Gemelli d'Argento Antichi
, as well as lucrative vendor trash like
Statuetta d'Argento
and
Moneta Antica
. Complete all the Outlands dailies and get
Meglio del Vecchio Barlo
.
Wrath:
The
Sacca di Attrezzature da Pesca
can contain
Canna da Pesca Ingioiellata
and
Canna da Pesca d'Ossa
, the pet
Crostaceo del Lido degli Antichi
,
Scrigno in Titanio
containing epic gems, vanity items
Bastone da Passeggio Diamantato
and
Fedora Rovinato
, trashy novel
Romanzo Rosa: Un Medico tra gli Orsi
, quest item
Fiala di Veleno Sigillata
, and awesome vendor trash
Campanella di Porcellana
. Complete all the Wrath dailies and get
Pesca Marcia
.
Cata:
The
Sacca di Oggetti Brillanti
contains humorous items like
Roccia Portasfortuna
,
Vecchia Mappa "Pirata"
, and
Cappio dell'Impiccato
. There's also a small chance it will contain the afore-mentioned fishing poles and pet. Complete all the Cata fishing achievements (including the 4.2 ones) and get
Fuori a pescare
.
There are two fishing contests that require both luck and patience, held on the weekends.
The
is held every Sunday at 2pm, awarding either
Canna da Pesca d'Arcanite
or
Amo del Maestro Pescatore
to the first player who turns in 40
Spigola Screziata
, unique fish tied to the contest. Remember to have a stack of water-walking potions on hand to move between pools easily, friends calling out empty areas, and a hearthstone set to Booty Bay. Players who catch several other rare fish can redeem them for interesting items:
Pesce Striato Blu di Brownell
for
Stivali da Pesca Estrema di Nat Pagle
,
Scienide di Dezian
for
Lenza d'Eternio ad Alta Resistenza
, and
Pesce Angelo di Keefer
for
Cappello da Pesca Portafortuna
.
The
is held every Saturday at 2pm, awarding either
Anello del Temibile Pirata
or
Stivali della Baia
to the first player to redeem
Squalo Pinnanera
, fished from any pool in Northrend that contains
Lampreda Pigmea
. This contest generally is finished in about 6 minutes. Find a place that has several nearby pools (I won this by the pool near Fort Wildevar) and turn your graphics settings down so Dalaran loads quickly when you hearth back.
We've covered
The 2 Ring
earlier; there's also
L'Unico Anello
found in major cities and
Regalo di Ser Chelotto
, as well as
Quest'Anello
from
Scrigno in Titanio
.
Finally, there's some elusive pets from
Fishing
! Too bad they're cute, since they're a pain to farm.
The
Strand Crawler
, as already covered, is a small chance from Wrath and Cataclysm reward bags.
The
Pantegana Gigante
is fished up in the Dalaran Sewers, or more recently, sometimes found in
Borsa di Misteri Esotici
.
Scatola dell'Astice Magico
is a--not always guaranteed--reward from
Ser Chelotto
. Upon catching
Ser Chelotto
from Furious Crawdad pools in Terokkar, you are able to click on him three times for "wishes." You'll be granted one of the following:
Ser Chelotto Benevolo
,
Regalo di Ser Chelotto
,
Evocazione: Ser Chelotto Furioso
,
Benedizione di Ser Chelotto
, and the pet. Unfortunately, this could mean you use up your three wishes on angry Mr. Pinchys and have to try again for the pet.
The Outlands daily
Crocolischi in città
gives you a 10%~ chance to find a cuddly crocodile in your reward bag:
Secchio di Chuck
,
Secchio di Fiatolordo
,
Secchio di Dentino
,
Secchio di Dentone
.
Guild Achievements
Mastro artigiano
requires the guild to craft 500 items with ilvl 359 or higher. It unlocks the guild reward
Mantello della Coordinazione
/
Mantello della Coordinazione
, essentially a hearthstone to a major city on a 2 hour cooldown.
Polveri, polveri e ancora polveri!
has been changed recently to allow items disenchanted via the loot roll box to count towards the total. Tell your guildmates to send all their BoE greens to an enchanter instead of vending them while leveling to speed this up.
Any type of non-seasonal feast counts towards
Sagra paesana
, so drop whichever is the cheapest, if your guild doesn't raid much.
Intagliatore straordinario
requires the guild to cut 2,500 gems of at least superior quality. This literally does mean
any
superior-quality gem--gems from Outlands and Wrath will count towards this, even though they have less stats than a Cataclysm green gem.
Minatori leggendari
requires the guild to mine 50,000 rocks and ore, down from 100,000 in early Cataclysm.
Nerfed several times,
Maestro dei miscugli
will unlock
Ricetta: Calderone da Battaglia
and
Piccolo chimico
will unlock
Ricetta: Gran Calderone da Battaglia
.
Figli dei fiori
requires the guild to herb 50,000 flowers, down from 100,000.
Un sacco di esche
, requiring the guild to catch 10,000 fish, unlocks the best feast recipe:
Ricetta: Brodetto Imperiale di Pesce
. The quickest way to farm this up is to pick up
Il sangue non è acqua
in Dalaran, create pools of blood in Borean Tundra, and amass a large number of guildmates to alternate between spawning numerous pools and fishing from them. Blizzard
really
assumes your guild loves fishing, as there are two additional achievements:
Avremo bisogno di una barca più grande
and
Chi non dorme piglia pesci
.
Metti il forno su "Cataclismico"
, requiring the guild to cook 5,000 Cataclysm recipes, awarded
Ricetta: Tripudio di Drago Arrosto
. Cooking 10,000 recipes grants
Apriamo un ristorante?
. Be warned, however, that cooking "easy" food like
Biscotti al Cioccolato
(or anything requiring solely vendor mats) do not count anymore.
Tuttofare
, having a guildmate at Honored with each profession maxed at 525, rewards
Stendardo della Cooperazione
, the weakest of the guild battle standards.
Sto facendo la storia
requires guildmates to complete 500 Archaeology solves. This is incredibly easy--a few people leveling the profession should take care of it.
requires the guild to skin 50,000 creatures, which is a large amount. However, with the demand for
Pelle Intatta
in Firelands craftables, progress should be made on this achievement. Try areas like Tol Barad and unphased Sethria's Roost for easy leather.
Ne ferisce più la penna
requires the guild to make 2,500 glyphs. With glyphs now permanently learnt, the market has slowed down a bit, but at least it doesn't require 25,000 anymore.
Well, that should certainly keep you collecting for a while! Again, this isn't meant to provide a source of easy gold, but it's a nice change of pace from raiding or concrete achievement-chasing. You might learn something new along the way or discover that you've got a discontinued pattern on your hands. Either way, happy farming!
