We've put together a guide to Fishing in WoW Classic, with the goal of helping you quickly reach max skill. Fishing is a great compliment to Cooking, as your fish can be used in several recipes.

Wow Classic: Fishing Leveling Guide

Fishing is one of 12 Professions in World of Warcraft Classic, and one of three Secondary Professions. The easiest way to start learning Fishing is to simply talk to a guard in any Capital City. They will give you directions to a Fishing Trainer who will help you get started.

Why Choose Fishing?

Fishing isn't useful for every class in the game, as it's a Secondary Profession that provides cooking ingredients. It also requires patience; prospective Fishermen shouldn't be deterred and discouraged if they haul in grey items when they cast out their lines.

This Profession is perfectly suited to players with a calm disposition!

How Do You Make Money With Fishing?

There are three main ways of making money with your fishing rod.

  1. Cast your line in Schools of Deviate Fish. These fish can be caught in The Barrens or in Wailing Cavern. You can also make money from selling your catch to Alchemists, who need Deviates for their recipes.
  2. Catch Big-Mouth Clams. Some of them will contain one of four different kinds of pearls which can be sold at a high price. These Clams can mainly be caught in coastal zones.
  3. Fishing Stonescale Eels, which can prove extremely lucrative once mastered. You'll need to have 220 in Fishing to reel in these moneyspinners, but it's best to wait until you're well above this point, or to wear gear that gives you a passive boost to your Fishing skill before you try to catch them. They're guaranteed to sell well at the Auction House and can mostly be caught in Feralas or Stranglethorn Vale

How to Level your Fishing Skill

To level your Fishing, you should fish in any body of water you come across. There isn't really a defined way to level this Profession, but there are several areas that are great to fish in. Levelling is dependant on you reeling in fish or junk instead of being based on the level of the zone or the quality of your catch. Here are some simple steps to help ease your pathway to Fishing mastery.
