What?

At level 25, you're going to net 5-10 gold per hour grinding mobs?

At level 25, you certainly can make 10-20 gold per hour catching and selling stonescale eels off Wavestrider Beach.

That, too, is a simpel (sic) fact.

hahaha sry u haven't gotten responded to. anyway, being at your current stage, i would suggest you fish sagefish. there are TONS along the river in hillsbrad, and the cooked ones yeild much benefit to the consumer. should you earn for more, go to straglethorn vale and fish for greater sagefish. the benefits are a lot better, and the chests you can pick up are beautiful.
if you're looking for money, fish blackmouths and firefins along the southern coast, near southshore. just watch for the naga and murlocs there.

just a little side note... being a shaman rocks when you go fishing! i can cast waterwalking on myself and fish just about anywhere! bwahahahah! one question: if you don't fish in deviate schools in the barrens, whats the rate at which you catch them?

At L25, you can go to Gadgetzan with no problems. Be sure to click on the flightmaster for shorter trips in the future. Once you are in Gadget, head for Steamwheedle posr (on the coast). Fish for stonescale eels off the pier.

I don't want my name associated with any site that sells gold. If you plagiarize my posts, I will contact your service provider to get you shut down due to the millenium copyright act.

I do that, to, but he said he was a level 25. It's not really safe to go wandering all over Tanaris at 25. You have a huge aggro radius, and will probably be making a corpse run or two. The pier is a pretty safe place to fish from.

Wavestrider Beach is safe, too. The turtles are docile. You have that section directly south of Steamwheedle and the beach past the rocky outcropping. If you stay on the beach, you won't encounter anything dangerous. I wouldn't wander the desert, though.

I usually monitor guild chat when I fish, so the sound of someone else's bobber is an issue. Besides, I like having the schools to myself.

Rigger's Cove can be an adventure. I've done that at 30ish, but you gotta be careful.

Speaking of deviate fish does anyone remember which creature(s) drop the savory deviate delight recipe?

I read this thread a little while ago and decided to try it. Before investing much time leveling fishing, I checked the prices of stonescale eels on the AH. On my server a stack of stonescales can go for 30g on the weekends, and 22-25g during the weekdays.

I started from fishing level 0 on my level 30 alt and about 25 silver. I fished for a little while in Mulgore till about level 50 and then went to the deviate pools. I got to about 140 there, then went to booty bay to buy the book for 150+.

I tried to fish in bb right next to the guards, but people 1shot ambushed me and jumped in the water and escaped the guards. I thought maybe they'd get tired of it, but after about 10 minutes they didn't relent, so I gave up on that. It was really hilarious but it made me wonder how I was going to catch stonescales in tanaris without getting constantly griefed.

I went up to grom gol and fished from 140-155. The reason I did this is because I needed a bunch of Bristle Whsiker Catfish to level up, and this seemed like a good place.

At 155 with some Aquadynamic Fish Attractors I conveniently made, I went to tanaris. It was no trouble to get to the fishing area avoiding mobs, but again I was only level 30. As soon as the alliance noticed me, it became a camp fest.

I then looked up stonescale eels and realized that Revantusk Village in the hinterlands had about the same catch rate as Steemwheedle Port. I went up to Hammerfall, ran south to the river, jumped off the bridge, and swam east, then north up to Revantusk. It is slow going, but no mobs and I figured its quicker than running thru the 40-48 mobs in the Hinterlands.

Once there I got the flight path and can fly from UC now. I fish right by the level 55 guards and have not been bothered once.

In a few hours of fishing eels there, I made 150 gold and reached the 225 fishing cap. Now before I log, I fly out there and fish for about 30 min. This makes me 6-10 gold and is plenty now that I have enough money for my mount. The other nice by product of this is that I constantly have piles of other fish to use as food. I hand them out in instances like a mage.

It looks like the alliance could do the same thing from Feathermoon as it has about the same rate as Steemwheedle.

Aparently azshara has the very best catch rate, but i'm happy with the rate I can catch them in Revantusk.

Thank you to the OP for this great advice. I'm not going to say that this will work on every server, but all you have to do is check out the going rate for eels and see if it seems worth your time. They are an important item for high end raiding, and there is probably a market for them. Good luck!

Those are for the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. Starts 2 PM Sunday. First one to turn in 40 Tastyfish wins the best fishing pole in the game (or a trinket that turns you into a fish...your choice).

as nice as the wintersquid are cooked, and some of the other cooked fish. I think alot of boils down to the fact that these are probably the last thing's ppl are looking for on the AH's. Stonescale's are definitely the best cash bet for fisherman.

In my experience the most profitable area to fish for anyone with a minimum fishing of 100 and level 18 is Stonetalon Mountains, in the circular pond located just a touch NW of center on the map. I wouldn't recommend it for Alliance on PvP servers, but definitely for everyone else.

I don't have time to go into details, but suffice to say that the spawns/area ratio is the highest for any map currently in existence. If Sagefish sell on the AH, this is where you want to go to make very serious cash. Even if they don't, approximately 1/8 spawns is floating wreckage which routinely yields bloated fish (think level 44 and 45 rings) and many bolts of cloth and leather.

I would recommend fishing this until you hit level 30-35. At that point you could move on to the coasts of either Tanaris or STV. Tanaris for the eels, STV for higher spawn concentration and floating wreckage.

I don't recommend moving up earlier than these levels because you'll find many schools to be inaccessible and the end result will be a decrease in profitability due to having to be more careful and/or dying. Also, it's very frustrating seeing that floating wreckage spawn sitting there unattainable because of nearby mobs.
