That might have been true before The Burning Crusade, but is no longer the case. There are a lot of non-tradeskill rewards. I'm going to list some that are good for mages and those that are good for everyone.
Honor Hold - Flamewrought Key (Revered): key to Heroic Hellfire Citadel instances
-
Blade of the Archmage (Exalted): One of the best one-handed swords for mages at the moment, and it doesn't require raiding
Keepers of Time - Key of Time (Revered): key to Heroic Caverns of Time instances
-
Continuum Blade (Revered): Another awesome one-handed sword that can be had pre-raid
The Aldor - Inscription of Discipline (Honored): +15 spell damage to shoulder item (does not require trade skill)
-
Auchenai Staff (Revered): a nice 2 handed staff that doesn't require instance running or raiding
- Greater Inscriptiong of Discipline (Exalted): +18 spell damage, +10 spell critical rating to shoulder item (does not require trade skill)
The Scryers - Inscription of the Orb (Honored): +13 spell critical strike rating to shoulder (does not require trade skill)
-
Scryer's Bloodgem (Revered): Nice trinket; +32 spell hit, and +150 spell damage on use
- Greater Inscription of the Orb (Exalted): +15 spell critical rating, +13 spell damage to shoulder (does not require trade skill)
-
Seer's Signet (Exalted): one of the best rings I've seen for mages and it can be had without raiding; +22 stamina, +11 spell critical rating, +33 spell damage
The Sha'tar - Warpforged Key (Revered): key to Heroic Tempest Keep instances
-
Glyph of Power (Revered): best head "enchant" for mages at the moment; +22 spell damage, +14 spell hit to a head item (no trade skill required)
-
Xi'ri's Gift (Revered): another nice trinket; +32 spell critical rating, and +150 spell damage on use
Netherwing - Netherdrakes (upcoming patch 2.1.0): Epic flying mounts
Cenarion Expedition - Reservoir Key (Revered): key to Heroic Coilfang Reservoir instances
-
Ashyen's Gift (Exalted): nice spell damage ring
Lower City - Auchenai Key (Revered): key to Heroic Auchindoun instances
Kurenai - Talbaks (Exalted): A cool looking ground mount
And they're adding even more factions in Patch 2.1.0
So yeah... take that you gnome devils you :P hehe just joking.
