WoW Forever Fishing Leveling Guide (1-300)

Fishing is a secondary profession. It leaves both of your primary profession slots free.

The route has 4 stops. Each stop opens the next rank:

1. Skill 1 to 75: learn Fishing from any Fishing trainer. Buy a Fishing Pole and a few Shiny Bauble lures, then fish in your starting zone.
2. Skill 75 to 150: learn Journeyman Fishing from the trainer. Fish in a capital city, such as Stormwind City or Orgrimmar.
3. Skill 150 to 225: buy Expert Fishing - The Bass and You from Old Man Heming in Booty Bay. Fish in Dustwallow Marsh with a lure on your pole.
4. Skill 225 to 300: finish Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme in Dustwallow Marsh. Then fish in Tanaris with lures until you reach 300.

A PRO can also take Fishing to 300 on your account. The offer below shows the live price.

Every capital city has a Fishing trainer. Every starting zone has a trainer too. Apprentice and Journeyman Fishing come from the same trainer.

Trainer	Where	Side
Lumak	Orgrimmar	Horde
Armand Cromwell	Undercity	Horde
Kah Mistrunner	Thunder Bluff	Horde
Lau'Tiki	Sen'jin Village, Durotar	Horde
Uthan Stillwater	Bloodhoof Village, Mulgore	Horde
Clyde Kellen	Brightwater Lake, Tirisfal Glades	Horde
Arnold Leland	Stormwind City	Alliance
Grimnur Stonebrand	Ironforge	Alliance
Astaia	Darnassus	Alliance
Lee Brown	Goldshire, Elwynn Forest	Alliance
Paxton Ganter	Dun Morogh	Alliance
Androl Oakhand	Rut'theran Village, Teldrassil	Alliance
Baelann Swiftcurrent	Valanaar, Zephras Isle	Both
Fenn Fairweather	Shen'dar Village, Zephras Isle	Both

Skyborne players start on Zephras Isle, so the 2 Zephras Isle trainers are their 1st stop.

Trainers stop at 150. Expert Fishing comes from a book called Expert Fishing - The Bass and You.

Old Man Heming sells the book in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale.

After you read it, go to Dustwallow Marsh. The Artisan quest starts there, so you fish to 225 where the next step begins. Stranglethorn Vale works too.

Put a lure on your pole in these zones. Fish slip away more often until your skill catches up.

Artisan Fishing opens skill 225 to 300. It is the reward of the quest Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme.

Nat Pagle gives the quest in Dustwallow Marsh. You need character level 35 and Fishing 225.

He asks for 4 quest fish. Each one lives in its own zone:

Quest fish	Zone
Feralas Ahi	Feralas
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi	Swamp of Sorrows
Sar'theris Striker	Desolace
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin	Stranglethorn Vale

Keep a lure on your pole while you fish for them.

Train Artisan Fishing after the quest. Then head to Tanaris and fish until 300.

Fish get away often in Tanaris without a lure. Keep a lure on your pole the whole way.

A lure raises your Fishing skill for a short time. Fish stay on the hook more often with a lure.

Lure	Where it helps
Shiny Bauble	Your starting zone, from skill 1
Nightcrawlers	Capital cities, once your skill reaches 50
Bright Baubles	Dustwallow Marsh, Feralas and Tanaris

Fishing Supply and Trade Supply vendors sell the Fishing Pole and the early lures.

2 perks of the Legacy System help anglers. Luremaster gives a chance to fish up an extra fish. Working Overtime raises your chance to gain a skill point in every tradeskill.

Our WoW Forever Legacy System guide shows how to earn the points for them.

Cooking is the natural partner of Fishing. Most cooked food in Forever also adds 5% XP from kills. Our WoW Forever Cooking guide has the fish route to Cooking 225.

Fishing Bowl is the campfire object of Fishing, and it opens at Fishing 20. Our WoW Forever camping guide shows what it does at your camp.

A PRO levels Fishing from 1 to 300 on your character once the game is open. The order includes every trainer stop, the Expert book and Nat Pagle's quest.

The price is locked when you order. You need an active WoW subscription.
