World of Warcraft Fishing Guide

We have written this small World of Warcraft Fishing guide to help you better understand this secondary profession and how you can profit from it.

 While perhaps not the most popular or lucrative profession in World of Warcraft, fishing is definitely an interesting secondary profession that players should try to at some point in their World of Warcraft lives. In any case, most players don’t really have much to lose because fishing is a secondary profession which, unlike primary professions that only allow up to two kinds per character, can be taken up by that player without barring him or herself from taking other secondary professions like cooking or first aid.

Of course this is not to say that fishing is useless. In fact, there are many perks to having the fishing skill on your spare time. Fish is food, which can be used for restoring your health. On the other hand, fishing can also be a good way to earn money by selling your catch as well as fishing out equipment that you could either benefit from yourself or sell or give to other characters like rouges and alchemists who might need something that could be acquired through fishing. This is true especially with the cooking skill. There are also a significant number of quests that require or help improve the fishing skill.

While there are many guides out there that give advanced tips on fishing, this one will focus on the first step to benefiting from this profession – learning the basics.

You will definitely need the fishing skill taught by their respective trainers, as well as fishing poles which could be bought from either general goods shops or fishing supplies stores. Other accessories such as lure are also recommended.

Next step is to figure out where you can actually fish. Theoretically this isn’t hard, since World of Warcraft has lots of water you can fish in. But sometimes some people end up finding the wrong fishing spot. The most common way to tell if you’re in the wrong spot is that if you get a warning telling you that you can’t fish here (“Your cast did not land in fishable water”). But of course, always try to move closer into the water (i.e. throwing your line to deeper waters) or taking a different angle to see if you can fish in that area. Also, areas where there are fishing trainers nearby are almost always good fishing spots (they kind of act like indicators for fishing spots).

To fish, equip the fishing pole and just use the fishing skill in front of fishable water and your character will throw the line in front of him at a random distance. Your character will the start channeling the fishing “spell” and all you have to do is to wait for the bobber (which appears after the line is cast) to move and then click it with your mouse.

You catch different kinds of stuff at different locations and moreover based on your level and equipment. This is something you will get more familiar with as you use the skill more. Of course, if you get a piece of junk then it either means you were unlucky or your level isn’t high enough yet to catch what you would have otherwise caught.

Happy fishing!
