The fishing ring is the only BOA xp boost ring I'm aware of, and my chances
of having it are slim and none.

Now that I don't need it, I see that the DMF hat would have actually been
useful, though DMF was up only for the last few days of my grind. The 10%
roundabout buff only lasts an hour, and from Pandaria it takes nearly 6
minutes to re-apply, so it's not worth it (it was nice to see the higher
numbers, though). 

DMF hats are tradable while inside DMF prize boxes, so your main could
stockpile them until it's time for a leveling alt to use them.
