Increase Gathering Yields

Fishing!

Go to Valley of the Four Winds, to this location, just west of the Pools of Purity.

You should see this NPC Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman. If he is there, then talk to him and he will give you the Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm.

This simple item will allow you to catch up to 20% more fish from pools as new reports show.

Mining!

Go to the Jade Forest, to this location: Greenstone Quarry, just at the bottom of the Tian Monastery.

Go to the bottom of the cave, and you will find a sparkling pickaxe - it is very hard to miss, if it has spawned that is.

Interact with the axe, and you will receive Ancient Pandaren Mining Pick.

This will allow you miners to loot gems from mining nodes - something that you can't do without the axe. Best part is, you don't even need to have it equipped to benefit from the spell!

You will also receive the achievement: Lost and Found if you happen to find just 1 of the 2 items listed above.

Mining and Herbalism!

Get yourself an Engineer level 525, with:

8 x Ghost Iron Bolts
2 x Spirit of Harmony

and craft yourself a pair of Mist-Piercing Goggles - Again, you don't need to wear them in order to benefit from their special power. It'll allow you to see more nodes than your competitors.

I hope these tips come in handy to you!

It can spawn in any location within the mine. Best bet is to wait until a server restart and log out there.

Ya seems like the pickaxe is like a rare spawn. Takes around 15 hours for it to respawn

[Killalots]

Aye, I just got the pickaxe on my char after waiting for 12 hours.

Ow. alot of people must farm for the pick, hope I find out before everyone finds out ^^ Could it be farmed with CRZ possibly?

[Killalots]

Is CRZ even available in Pandaria?

Took my miner out to the pick spot last night to park it so I could check for the pick in the morning and what do you know....there it was. I grabbed it while about a dozen other people were rushing for it. Thanks for this guide!
