Wow Wotlk Fishing

[Pelagio Bosch]

Notethat, when you do level Fishing, you will have a huge amount of fishthat can be used to level your Cooking. It is recommended that youuse this fish to level Cooking up at the same time, saving yourself plenty ofgold.

Fishing is one of the three secondary professions available to all playersin WotLK Classic. Because of this, it can be learned by all players withoutconflicting with other professions. This can be useful early on to provideyourself with free food while leveling.

You can learn Fishing from any Fishing trainer, which are found incapital cities. When you arrive at a major city, you can ask any city guard fordirections and pick the Fishing trainer option under the professions section.This will mark its location on your map, allowing you to easily find them andget the Fishing skill.

Fishing is a fairly easy, but time-consuming, profession to level. You shouldtry to level it alongside Cooking, as a large portion of what youfish up can be used to keep your cooking skill at a similar level to yourfishing skill. These two professions go hand-in-hand together.

In Wrath of the Lich King, you can level the Fishing skill in anywater where you can cast your line. This allows you to easily sit at the Fishingtrainer in a capital city and level from 1-300 in one spot.

At level 300, you will have to head to Outland and talk withJuno Dufrain to learn Master Fishing. You can also learn this from one ofthe Northrend trainers shown above. When you can get your total fishing skill toaround 400, you can head to Northrend and finish leveling there, or stay inOutland until you max out at 375.

At level 375, you will have to head to Northrend and talk with one of theGrand Master Fishing trainersshown above. This will allow you tomax out your Fishing skill at 450, the highest possible level in Wrath of theLich King.

In addition to your raw Fishing Skill, you can further increase your skill byusing specific items, enchantments, gear, and consumables. This allows you tofish in higher level areas earlier and increases the chance that you will land afish instead of junk.

A fishing pole is one of the easiest ways to gain an increase to yourFishing skill. Arcanite Fishing Pole remains the best-in-slot fishing polein the game, but requires you to win the Stranglethorn Vale fishing tournamentto obtain it, making it rare. Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole is a closealternative option that can be obtained much more easily asThe Kalu'ak is an easy faction to gain reputation for.

Fishing Lures are one the easiest and best ways to temporarily gain a largeincrease to your Fishing skill. Make sure to bring plenty of these with youbefore you head out on a fishing trip or you may run out before you finish.

You can still complete the TBC fishing dailies for their specific rewards.Every day you will be able to grab one of five different quests fromOld Man Barlo, who can be found at the lake just north of Shattrath Cityin Terokkar Forest.

Fishing is just one of the many professions you may choose to level inWrath of the Lich King Classic. To learn more about the other options available,we recommend checking out our overviews of all professions and their uniquebonuses below.

This guide has been written by Abide, TBC and WotLK veteran for nearlya decade. Abide is a Warrior tank and multi-class expert currently playingon Faerlina Horde. You can find him in theIcy Veins Discord if you haveany questions or concerns.

This WotLK Classic Fishing leveling guide will help you level Fishing from 1 to 450. You'll discover that it requires a lot of patience and time to build your skill level up to the maximum level. You will have to catch a lot of fish to get from start to finish.

You no longer need to learn fishing from books, and you don't have to complete the Artisan fishing quest. The trainers have finally done their reading and can teach you the same thing.

You can level Fishing in any fishable water from 1 to 450, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you will likely catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.

Leveling to 50 doesn't take long, so I recommend starting in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City and leveling up to 50 near your trainer until you can learn the next rank of Fishing. Any fishable water is good for these levels, there isn't any valuable fish you can catch at this level.

I recommend going to Barrens for these levels because that's the only place you can catch Deviate Fish. This fish is more valuable than other fishes at this level, but still, it's pretty hard to sell large quantities of these.

From 150 to 250, you can Fish in these zones: Alterac Mountains, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Dustwallow Marsh, Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, and Thousand Needles. Make sure to use Bright Baubles until 225, so you catch less junk.

While many WoW players fish because they enjoy the RP aspect of taking a break from questing to sit by a lake and relax, there are plenty of aeshtetic and practical min-max reasons to pick up fishing as well:

While the Journal can be found in every junk container throughout Azeroth, your best bet for finding it is the Curious Crate, which is fished from schools and pools throughout Outland. The Crate can be fished from open water, but it has the highest chance of dropping directly from all schools of TBC fish. The second-best way to farm the Journal is to look for Mithril Bound Trunks. While the journal has a higher overall chance of dropping from the Mithril Crate, the types of pools that it can be found in are limited to Azshara, Feralas, Stranglethorn Vale, and Tanaris.

It allows me to fish automatically by pressing key 2 if I have equip a fishing pole.

(remember to spell out the actual name of the fishing pole you are using.

WIthout basically cheating the best thing to use is the addon Fishing Buddy (Linked above). It will do most of everything you need without catching the fish for you (Which I believe would be cheating).

Along with Blizzard's 3.1 release for World of Warcraft, there were changes that effect how one fishes in Azeroth and Outland. Where before, there were both a minimum and a no-get-away level for each zone. After the patch, one can fish any where at any level. The catch is, one will catch more junk if he is in an zone that he is too low to fish in. Although, he will still gain fishing level as if he was fishing in a zone that he properly experienced for.

So the questions are, if one is fishing in a zone that he meets and exceeds the required minimum fishing level for, whether it be with or without fishing gear and bait, does he have a chance to fish up junk still, let a fish get away, and fish up the better catch at a higher rate for the zone? Along with those three questions, does the bobber have a higher chance to bob earlier in the fishing cast too?

Note: Please keep in mind that there are four questions with in this one Gaming SE question? Since I already know how to fish, please do not post links to fishing tutorials. These are questions that I have always ask myself time after time but was never able to find answers. I can't be the only one who has thought about these same questions. Maybe I am though?

What used to be the minimum required skill to fish in any given area is now the minimum required skill to not catch any junk. Once you meet or exceed this minimum for a zone, whether natively, or through the use of equipment, buffs and consumables, you will no longer catch ANY junk. If you are below this skill level, the chance of catching junk is proportional to just how far below it you are. The further below the threshold, the more junk you'll catch.

For example, the Dalaran Fountain has a no-junk skill of 525. As we can see in @GreatBigFish's answer, this junk threshold is above the (unbuffed) WOTLK maximum skill of 450. Fishing at max skill in Dalaran with no lure would yield a 'fish' roughly 73% of the time. The other 27% of the time, you will catch one of the 13 'junk' items found around the world, all of which vendor for mere copper. To never catch junk in Dalaran, you'd need to use a +75 lure or better at 450 skill.

There is one notable exception to this rule: You will never catch junk in a pool. Fishing from pools gives a 100% catch rate on whatever type of fish spawns in that pool. This has caused many to claim that actively leveling fishing skill is now pointless because it provides little practical benefit - fishing from pools is always more efficient anyway.

If your profession is not yet at least 350, the Classic Fishing Guide and the Burning Crusade Fishing Guide will help you. Whether you want to skill from 350 to 375 with Northrend recipes or still with Burning Crusade materials is up to you (and the prices in your auction house).

The diary has the highest chance of being in a Seltsame Kiste. A strange crate can be fished from any shoal in Outland areas. Of course, you can fish without this ability, but it makes fishing for specific fish much faster.

An important aspect of fishing at higher levels is the equipment and enhancements that players use. These can make you more successful when fishing for certain fish, speed up your daily tasks (dailies), or give you a competitive edge in one of the fishing competitions. Within the broad category of equipment, there are several ways to improve your fishing skills either permanently or temporarily. These include: Fishing Poles, equipment, item improvements, lures, enchantments and consumables.

In Northrend, Grandmaster Fishing Trainer Marcia Chase will provide you with your fishing daily. You can find her at the fountain in front of the bank in Dalaran. She has five potential quests for you, which change daily. One of them takes place in the Wintergrasp PvP area. The following dailies rotate on a daily basis:
