Prepare for 6.1!

[Nastya]

Hello everyone,


With the release of patch 6.1, the best food will no longer come from Barns but is produced by 700 Cooking again. At the moment there are no new feasts datamined, so I would suggest that everyone starts stockpiling the ingredients for the new best food before prices skyrocket after the patch (I can guarantee you that they will).


Here is a list of the new food, their stats and materials:


Buttered Sturgeon (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +125 Haste
Reagents: Blind Lake Sturgeon Flesh (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)


Jumbo Sea Dog (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +125 Versatility
Reagents: Jawless Skulker Flesh (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)


Pickled Eel (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +125 Critical Strike
Reagents: Abyssal Gulper Eel Flesh (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)


Salty Squid Roll (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +125 Multistrike
Reagents: Fire Ammonite Tentacle (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)


Sleeper Sushi (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +125 Mastery
Reagents: Fat Sleeper Flesh (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)


Whiptail Fillet (New) Cooking. 2 sec cast. +Stamina
Reagents: Blackwater Whiptail Flesh (12), Crescent Saberfish Flesh (6)

Hey, thanks for sharing, but are you sure they won't also upgrade barn or something like that?

I doubt it. They made cooking obsolete by the Barn. This 125 stats food is a "fix" to what they ****ed up.

Definitly. This is a "hotfix". Also the new alchemy trinkets for the low price of alchemy catalyst

How much should I buy? Stacks of the fish (not even the flesh yet) are going for 150 gold on my server. This doesn't seem like I'm going to make a lot of profit for the amount of space it takes up.

Screw buying just afk fish in garrison pond. If you have high enough skill, you'll get lots of Enormous fish of every kinds. Just save em until after patch comes in

[viperas]

Good to know!

[timebandit1]

it's a good time to upgrade the fishing shack,
and the 100 enormous fish req for the achiev can come from a friend's level 3 shack, iirc.

you can make macros to use the specific bait you need while afking as well.
would not recommended long afk periods inside garrison considering they could be looking closer.

being able to manufacture these food items (not to mention sea scorpion for pots) from your garrison pond is pretty sweet.

Also should stock up on bloods. Some upgrade will require 30 instead of 15 in 6.1 so the demand will go up and the price will likely go up quickly.

The recipes have been datamined, and they seem to have changed the food SELF-ONLY (read:BoP. needs cooking yourself). However, that does NOT mean your fishes are worthless. There will be tons of people who won't bother fishing, and will just buy the flesh from the auction house.

Not to mention that they're making fishing more complicated in 6.1. They're removing the bait as a drop from fish, meaning you can no longer bot enormous fish in your garrison, and lunkers only drop in the out world IN fishing pools.

Bot as much as you can now, for maximum profit before the patch, when it will be a pain.

Patch 6.1 Fishing changes - Forums - World of Warcraft

We're reverting the change where bait would spoil.
Reverting the change where bait could not be caught in your garrison; Nat Pagle will still grant you the bait of your choice (because Nat Pagle).
Bait duration is now 10 minutes (up from 5) to mirror the duration of lures.

Bait's back in the garrison. But the flesh will still seller well for the lazy who don't want to spend time fishing just for food.
