Lava outside BRD, Burning Steppes

   A friend of mine just fished up Essence of Fire, I've never heard of this. Just wanted to share it. :)

   Thanks. The lava in the Burning Steppes mostly contains Old Skull and Coal - just like Fire Plume Ridge in Un'Goro Crater. It is possible Essence of Fire is a rare catch [update] just caught it. I suspect this is a recent change. Perhaps other areas are fishable now to? [update] Blackrock Mountain's lava is fishable (same catches). Change may be related to removing fish from the forge in Ironforge.

   Noor noticed the new(ish) trinket High-powered Flashlight and decided to make one (just so she can make a free Elune spotlight once an hour) and decided to fish up the 6 essence of fire needed behind Blackrock Stronghold. Here's the catch:

   109 Old Skulls
   47 Coal
   6 Essence of FIre

   I noticed Wowhead lists Essence of Fire as fishable in The Obsidian Sanctum - which almost makes sense. Perhaps this means dungeons like Molten Core are now fishable to? Although, I tried the Maw of Neltharion (in Dragonblight) and while the lava there is fishable, it contains regular Dragonblight inland open-water catches. Bonescale Snapper are evidently rather resilient!

2. Gummo, April 2009:

   Blackrock Depths lava is not fishable (at least the area near the Black Forge), I get the "no fish here" message and can't even cast.

   However, Molten Core lava is fishable, and is the same as Burning Steppes:
   29 old skulls
   18 coal
   1 essence of fire
