Fish Bowl (20): 8% all stats for everyone sitting nearby, mutually exclusive with Blessing of Kings Live. Made from a Raw Brilliant Smallfish and an Empty Vial Beta

Apprentice and Journeyman (level 10): Lumak, Valley of Honor (Orgrimmar) (Icy Veins; Wowhead: Fishing Trainer) Beta

The Expert and Artisan steps are from Icy Veins only; Wowhead confirms both NPCs and places

No launch prices yet Beta
Our opinion: Alchemy oils and Well Fed food (+5% kill XP) both keep fish selling
