Most guides written are for higher level players, but here’s a neat way for lower level characters to make some easy gold. You’ll need to be around Level 20 or so for this one. You should be able to make anywhere from 50s-1g per fish selling on the AH. Very easy to make 50g per day - even at a low level!
Whether you play Horde or Alliance, see if you can get your character into the Barrens. If you’re an Alliance player, be careful of going too near the guards in the towns. It’s not difficult to run through the Barrens from either Ashenvale or Thousand Needles or even Ratchet.Just be wary of the Horde guards.
Let’s get into making some gold.
Getting the Recipe
First up, you’ll need a recipe to learn how to cook the Savory Deviate Delight. The recipe is a random drop throughout the Barrens. Try killing Razormanes, Venture Co. Drudgers, Great Barrens Kodos, Zhevras, Plainstriders and Hyenas. If you’ve got the patience, you’ll eventually get the recipe to drop.
If you don’t have the time or patience to grind for the recipe, then you can buy a recipe on AH - but be warned. It’s not cheap.
Now you have the recipe, it’s time to go fishing.
Getting the Fish
Your fishing skills should be around 50 if you’re using bait or around 120 if you’re not using bait. Once in the Barrens, travel to either the Forgotten Pools or the Lushwater Oasis. These two tend to have the highest drop rate.
The Stagnant Oasis will also drop Deviate Fish, but be a little more careful here as there are more mobs to fight off.
The other place worth fishing is the Wailing Caverns.
Effects
If you eat the Deviate Fish you catch, your character will spontaneously break into dance or wave a random people. The raw fish can also stun you for 30 seconds or bless you for 30 minutes. The most fun side-effect of eating a raw Deviate Fish was receiving the buff “Party Fever”. My character randomly laughed, clapped and did the chicken dance!
If you cook the Deviate Fish with Mild Spices, you end up with Savory Deviate Delights. These are not only fun, but they’re a great way to make some quick gold on the AH. The Savory Deviate Delights sell really well on most servers because they’re fun.
Here are some of the events a Savory Deviate Delight have been known to cause:
Yaaarrrr - turns you into a pirate for 60 minutes
Flip Out - turns you into a ninja for 60 minutes
