Need Fishing Help...Follow

I got my fishing to skill level 132 and I'm currently using a Big Iron Fishing Pole. Where's a good place to build up my Fishing Skill?

fishing in ratchet or bb works still, i got to like 190ish in ratchet, and it still was going up, but stopped at there, and moved on to other places. but u can fish in either places, bb is 125 min lvl req to fish, but ur at 132 so that dont matter, ratchet is some what easier to catch stuff at, and seems like u go up faster there, and in bb u can get the book to get to 225 fishing, for like ~1g, and then could sit and fish in those 2 places and prob get to 225ish

Can someone suggest a place to get my skill up to 125? It's only 88 right now and I don't know where to be.

Seems that there's a vacancy for an Alliance Fishing Guide here.

I got up to 125 just yanking smallfish from the pond behind the Goldshire Blacksmith shop. Of course, now I need to find a trainer to go any further.

On the plus side, I was able to use all those smallfish and longjaw mud snappers to get my cooking up to 80 as well! The trader right there sells the recipes.

Does anyone have a link to a guide to prime fishing spots?

True!

If skill points are all you are looking for, you can take your fishing skill all the way to 300 in your newbie area if you so choose. What drives people to fish in higher level waters are the fish themselves. While you can get to 300 fishing in the newbie area all you will ever fish up are low level fish. If you want to use fish to advance your cooking or to feed your pet or to use for hit point regeneration as you level, you’ll need to fish in higher level waters that will allow you to pull up higher level fish.

Your best chance to gain skill points is to fish in water where you never get the message that your fish got away. As long as you can pull up fish then you can gain fishing skill. But the more fish that get away the more opportunities you miss at getting a skill point. You can boost your fishing skill by using different types of lures, all the way up to +100 to your fishing skill. But these cost money to buy, unless you just happened to have saved up a bunch of worms looted off of undead. Still, its an option.



False!

Your character’s stats have NOTHING AT ALL to do with gaining skill points in any profession. This is WoW not EQ. And if I ever meet the developers who made that decision I’ll happily bow down before them and kiss their feet.

Fishing is a great way to pass the time. I usually get a good bit of fishing in while waiting for res sicknes to wear off.

My druid is the only one of my chars that has fishing and I have noticed my skill improves faster when I'm marked than not so I deffinitely agree with getting an intellect buff to fish whenever possible.

My fishing spot of choice is Wailing Caverns. Mostly because Deviate Fish (cooked or not) seel for a good amount and are just plain fun to use. I got a ninja costume last time I ate one :)

Plus I usually mail off excess I cook to my warrior and hunter characters.

odd, at 160 I fished in a newbe area for 1 hour and never got a single skill up then for an hour at BB and lost alot of fish but went up 7 skill points in that hour.

Weapon Skills, not professions. Or else no one would be a blacksmith unless they a mage in full netherwind.

May I ask when did this happen exactly? Cause I know for a fact that getting skill ups after the recent patch was pretty rare, but things seem to be normal now. I was fishing in Tanaris after the patch and didn't get one skill up after pulling about 30 fish or more. next time I fished skill ups were normal again.

Is a good reference. My understanding is that the book from booty bay will get you up to 225, and you have to be that level to get the quest for training to 300. The quest is available from Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh - he's on one of the islands just west of Theramore Island

The above stated is correct...

By the book from Old Man Heming in Booty Bay for 1 Gold piece. LEft click the book in your inventory and your skill will increase.

To get Artisan level, you do need the quest from Nat Pagle. And you need to see a trainer to get the quest to go and talk to Nat Pagle. I don't think you can just walk up and start the quest without the Journeyman Trainer telling you to do so.
