VI - Professions

Alchemy

- New potion: Mad Alchemist's Potion

The side effects are class dependant, on the pic below i got these because i was on my rogue (melee buffs). Each effect lasts 1 hour.
I have done some testing on Mad Alchemist Potion to get all the side effects, 14 side effects on 15 pots (95% proc rate), here are the differents effects i got:




Fishing

Tracking Journal

The new "Find Fish" ability is taught by a Weather-Beaten Journal. The ability makes "nearby fishing nodes appear on the minimap" - just like tracking abilities for minerals and herbs. The journal binds when picked up, so cannot be traded (unless the original crate is traded and the recipe remains unseen). A fishing skill of 100 is required to learn the ability.

Weather-Beaten Journals are not just found within Outland's Curious Crates. You can also get them from Iron Bound Trunk, Mithril Bound Trunk and Watertight Trunk.

Curious Crates seem to give the best catch rate, with about half of all crates containing a Weather-Beaten Journal. Curious Crates are caught from any pool in Outland - about 4% of the catch (this may have been increased slightly, since I got 7-8% on the test server, however the sample is very small so prone to error). No pools primarily contain Curious Crates, which means that if you specifically want a journal, it may be easier to fish the pools of wreckage in Azeroth containing Iron Bound, Mithril Bound or Watertight Trunks.

For those with little fishing skill, the easiest source of journals are Watertight Trunks, which are found in floating wreckage pools in Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills, Stonetalon Mountains and Wetlands. All these areas requiring just 55 skill to cast, 150 to stop get-aways.


Cooking

- Broiled Bloodfin
- Delicious Chocolate Cake
- Kibler's Bits
- Skullfish Soup
- Spicy Hot Tabulk


Enchanting

- Enchant Shield: Resilience


Engineering

- Flying Machine Control
- Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control
- Schematic: Adamantite Arrow Maker
- New Repair Bot mats have changed, also now it makes 5 Bots instead of 1.


Tracking Gas Cloud



• The gas clouds in Netherstorm are now always visible. Abilities on goggles that previously allowed the player to detect these invisible gas clouds will now show all gas clouds on their minimap instead. This will stack with other tracking types.


Jewelcrafting

- Chaotic Skyfire Diamond


Leatherworking

- New material costs for Drums

Teza
WoR reporter

Who or what the fuck is Brutallus o_0
Looks like a patchwerk wannabe but a Pit Lord.

mmmmm is that engineering mount thing need the riding or just engineering to use it? bear mount looks bad ass.

I quest brutallus will be in sunwell or something like that

More than likely Brutallus is a Sunwell boss.

It has no animations so it is a early model and probably will be removed by the end of the PTR from the files and was accidentally added just like the Northrend zone stuff for Howling Fjord was in the 2.1 PTR.

Am I the only one that think Zuljin just look ugly like that ?

Zul'Jin haha

There is a new flying reindeer model also in the MPQ but it has no texture.

I for one think the CE mounts look amazing, even if they are just re-skined.

Also Teza there is a new Forest Troll model in the game(I put the armor and weapon on it)
