Fishing

Fishing

Overview

Fishing is a secondary profession. Every character can learn it, in addition to their two primary professions.

It pairs naturally with Cooking, which prepares the fish you catch.

What this profession is for

• Catch fish for Cooking, or to sell them.
• Place a Fish Bowl at the camp, which increases primary stats.

Learning the profession

Fishing is learned from a fishing trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill:

• Apprentice: up to 75 skill, with no requirement.
• Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill.
• Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill and level 20. No trainer teaches it: it is learned with the book Expert Fishing - The Bass and You, sold by Old Man Heming in Stranglethorn Vale.
• Artisan: up to 300, from 225 skill and level 35. It is obtained with the quest "Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme", given by Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh.

Remember to learn the next rank as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.

All these trainers teach the Apprentice and Journeyman ranks, up to 150.

Guide 1 – 225

This guide takes you to 225, the maximum skill in the WoW Forever beta. For each skill range: the fish you will catch, then the zones where to fish, for the Alliance and for the Horde. In a zone too difficult for your skill, some fish get away.

You need a Fishing Pole: it is sold by fishing supplies and trade supplies vendors.

1 – 75

You will mostly catch Raw Brilliant Smallfish and Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper, and Raw Slitherskin Mackerel on the coasts of Durotar and Teldrassil. At first, put a Shiny Bauble on your pole. Before 75, learn the Journeyman rank from the trainer (from 50 skill).

• Alliance: Elwynn Forest, Dun Morogh, Teldrassil, Zephras Isle.
• Horde: Durotar, Mulgore, Tirisfal Glades, Zephras Isle.

75 – 150

Fish in a capital city: no fish gets away anymore. You will catch Raw Brilliant Smallfish, Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper and Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish. Before 150, learn the Expert rank with the book Expert Fishing - The Bass and You (from 125 skill and level 20).

• Alliance: Stormwind City, Ironforge, Darnassus.
• Horde: Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Undercity.

150 – 225

Move on to more difficult waters. If fish get away, put Bright Baubles on your pole. In Dustwallow Marsh, you will catch Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish, Raw Mithril Head Trout and Raw Rockscale Cod; in Stranglethorn Vale, Firefin Snapper, Raw Rockscale Cod and Oily Blackmouth.

• Alliance and Horde: Dustwallow Marsh, Stranglethorn Vale.

What about after 225?

You have reached the maximum skill in the beta. The rest of the guide, up to 300, will come when we have more information.
