Your goal with WoW fishing may be to level fast or to go a little slower and make more gold. Either way, know exactly where to fish is critical to both leveling well and making gold. This World of Warcraft Fishing guide will show you how to level to 225 Artisan.
It’s hard to know exactly how much more time you’ll need to level when making gold is the strategy but usually a few more hours. Want to make more gold? Then pick up the Cooking profession because cooked fish earns more gold than raw fish. You can train for both at the same time.
This WoW fishing guide is for those who are already Journeymen. Check out World of Warcraft Fishing Guide to get from Apprentice to Journeyman.
Master WoW fishing: Travel to one of the three oases at The Barrens
In order to progress to Master level you’ll first need to be at 75 as a Journeyman. You’ll catch more fish and less junk at this level. Valuble Deviate Fish is what you want to focus on catching. Until you’ve leveled to 75 skill level use the Shiny Bauble lure. This lure will catch you more fish than junk.
Fishing the Barrens will require you to choose between 2 strategies. Your first option is to fish in The Wailing Caverns. Around 30% of the fish will be Deviate Fish, but you’ll level faster simply because you won’t need to move around. Being in Horde territory means Alliance players will want to take advantage of the cover this place offers.
The second strategy will allow you to catch 80% Deviate fish rather than just 30%. This will allow you to make much more gold. Using this strategy will mean fishing one of the 3 oases. Because you’ll end up moving around a lot, this will take a lot more time to level.
Expert and Artisan Level:
In order to reach Expert level which is 125-150 or Artisan level which is 200-225 you’ll need to find a fishing trainer. You’ll need to leave The Barrens and go to Stranglethorn Vale if you’re an Alliance player. Look for trainer Myizz Luckycatch, in Booty Bay. Head to Durotar if your Horde, and look for the trainer named Lau’tiki on the south coast. This is probably the closer trainer to you but you could train with the Alliance trainer also.
Leveling up to Grand Master fishing level is beyond this World of Warcraft fishing guide but there are some good ones out there that include maps to the best fishing spots.
