WoW Fishing and Cooking leveling guide 1-375
This Fishing & Cooking guide will show you fastest way how to level Fishing & Cooking from 1 to 375. Cooking is not reqired in order to level Fishing, however I suggest you to pick up cooking aswell, and level these two with each other, because it's a lot easier to level one with the other. Fishing, although mainly gets fish, is useful for many other things. You can fish useful gems, such as pearls, which are required for leatherworking, blacksmithing and tailoring. Often these sell for a lot of money in AH, so fishing can be a good money-maker as well. You'll discover that it requires a lot of patience and time to build your skill level up to the maximum level. In the end you will have to catch about 2000 fish to get from start to finish.
If you plan level fishing only, you can skill up your fishing from 1 to 375 in any fishable water. This means you can stand in Orgrimmar all day long and get skillups on your fishing at the same rate as you would in a higher level zone. What decides your skillups is the number of successful catches.
If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 - 80 Leveling Guide.
Fishing poles
You need to go buy a fishing pole. After using your initial Fishing Pole, you can find better ones out there in the world. Check the Auction House for poles.
- [Blump Family Fishing Pole] +3 - Alliance only quest. Talk to Gubber Blump in Auberdine (Darkshore).
- [Strong Fishing Pole] +5
- [Darkwood Fishing Pole] +15
- [Big Iron Fishing Pole] +20
- [Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000] +25 - Horde only quest. Talk to Katoom the Angler at Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands.
- [Arcanite Fishing Pole] +35 - Reward for winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Contest.
Bait
Find a merchant who sells bait. You can then use this bait to raise your fishing skill so that you have an easier time catching fish. Bait wears off after a period of time, so you must continue to reapply it. You can buy better bait for higher bonuses to fishing. You will need Aquadynamic Fish Attractors for the highest level fishing areas. These can be created by Engineers.
- [Shiny Bauble] +25 for 10 minutes
- [Nightcrawlers] +50 for 10 minutes
- [Bright Baubles] +75 for 10 minutes
- [Aquadynamic Fish Attractor] +100 for 5 minutes
From level 1 to 75 you will get a skillpoint on pretty much every successful catch, this will decrease as your skill gets higher and from 300 to 375 you will need to do more than 10 successful catches for each skill point gained. The following equation gives a rough estimate:
(Current Fishing Skill - 75) / 25 = Rough number of successful catches for a skill-up.
Since this is a Fishing guide, first I will list the Fish you want to catch and after the recipe you want to buy to cook the fish. Leveling up Cooking with this way will be realy easy all the way up to 375.
