I'm fisher 50 and 28 Botanist. Fisher was profitable for a two week period when I could sell Navigator's ears for 6k a pop. I havn't sold a single ear in 2 weeks.

Botany is where it's at with the Trillium +1, Trillium Bulb +1, Spruce, etc.

Shards and crystals are so easy to come by and so cheap in the AH, that fisherman's ability to catch fish and Alchemists ability to convert to crystals isn't worth much. I'm Alchemy 50 as well, and it's tough sailing.

I'm getting Botany to 50 asap....
