TheWorld of Warcraft: Cataclysmexpansion added several new recipes, formulas, patterns, and schematics for players to enjoy. These new toys and concoctions often have to be assembled or crafted, and there are a few important reagents that can be used by several different professions.
The Albino Cavefish is one of these multi-use reagents. Players acquire them by Fishing, and Alchemists can use them as an ingredient in some complex, high-level recipes. One of these is the coveted Flask of the Sands, which opens to give the player an epic flying mount, the Sandstone Dragon.
The Albino Cavefish Location
An Elusive Underground Dweller
As the name suggests, the Albino Cavefish isonly found in obscure locationsunderground. The new level 80 zone of Deepholm has a few locations where intrepid adventurers can find schools of the elusive fish as long as they can brave the giant mushroom monsters, angry troggs, and killer red mist.
There are several accessories players can use to improve their Fishing skill, including lures, special gear,and several kinds of fishing poles. It’s strongly recommended to visit the Fishing trainer as early as possible to get the Illustrious Grand Master training level to grind up this very handy secondary skill.
Fishing Locations
Other fish that playerscan find in these regionsinclude Lavascale Catfish and Blackbelly Mudfish, but from open water as opposed to schools.
Herbalists and Miners also have plenty of resources scattered throughout the region, so verify that the Find Resources button is up and running. Troggs are humanoidand often drop Embersilkwhich is used by Tailors and the First Aid profession.
The Essential Ingredient
Making Deepstone Oil
An alchemist needs a skill level of at least 470 to learn the Deepstone Oil recipe from a trainer. Unlike most other Alchemy recipes, it only has one ingredient, the fish, and no vial or other container is required.
Like other high-level concoctions, Deepstone Oil has more than one use. It’s in high demand for one particular Alchemy recipe, and although the reagents are soulbound, the resulting product is not.
