MMO-Champion BlueTracker - A Fish-only Cooking Guide

2008-09-06 08:34:35

Here's a simple cooking guide which allows players to become master cookers only by using fish products.

If you want to become a skilled fisherman and don't know what to do with all the fish you catch, you can simply send it all to an alt for leveling cooking or sell as a "ultra-fast cooking skill-up pack".

Since to become a master fisherman it doesn't matter what you fish but for how long, I hope the information I've collected can help you sort out how much and what types of fish you can get to increase your own or someone else's cooking skill.

To simplify the guide, I have not included any recipes aquired by questing or looting, nor I have mentioned more than two fishing zones for each faction.
The only raw products which can't be catched while fishing are to fill the gap between skill points 160-175 and for the artisan cooking quest. Wherever it's possible I've added more than one recipe to choose from for maximum use of all the fish you catch.
