WoW Forever Fishing Leveling Guide 1-300

This WoW Forever Fishing leveling guide will show you the fastest way to level Fishing from 1 to 300. Fishing takes a lot of patience, you will have to catch a lot of fish to get from start to finish, but you don't need any materials, only a Fishing Pole and a few lures.

Below you will find every Fishing trainer by starting zone and capital city, where to fish for each skill range, and how to learn Expert and Artisan Fishing. If you haven't leveled Cooking yet, use my Fishing and Cooking leveling guide instead, because the fish you catch will level your Cooking at the same time:

Fishing and Cooking Leveling Guide 1-300

Fishing Trainer Locations

Apprentice Fishing has no level requirement in Forever right now, so you can learn it on a fresh character. Every trainer also teaches Journeyman Fishing, so you don't have to find a different trainer at 50.

Capital Cities

Every capital city has a trainer. You can also ask a guard, then it will be marked with a red flag on your map.

Starting Zones

Every starting zone has a Fishing trainer, and they all stand next to water, so you can start fishing right away.

Race	Zone	Closest trainer
Orc, Troll	Durotar	Lau'Tiki on the coast at Sen'jin Village
Tauren	Mulgore	Uthan Stillwater at Stonebull Lake, next to Bloodhoof Village
Undead	Tirisfal Glades	Clyde Kellen at Brightwater Lake, east of Brill
Human	Elwynn Forest	Lee Brown at Crystal Lake, east of Goldshire

You can find every Fishing trainer for Horde and Alliance on my WoW Forever Fishing Trainers page.

1. Open the Professions window.
2. Click on the hammer button in the row of buttons on the right side of your screen, NOT the Fishing tab.
3. Drag the Fishing button from the Fishing box to your action bar.
4. Equip your Fishing Pole and apply the Shiny Bauble lure.
5. Go to any starting zone and look for a lake, pond or river. Stand in front of the water and press the fishing button.
6. Mouse over the bobber in the water, and when it splashes, right-click on it.
7. Fish until you reach Fishing 75.

Starting zones: Dun Morogh, Durotar, Elwynn Forest, Mulgore, Teldrassil, Tirisfal Glades, Zephras Isle

Remember, starting zones do not include capital cities!

If you can't find the Fishing button, I show it with pictures in my how to fish in WoW Forever guide.

75-150

Go back to your trainer and learn Journeyman Fishing. It requires Fishing 50 and level 10.

Fish until 150 in one of the capital cities:

• Darnassus
• Stormwind City
• Orgrimmar
• Undercity
• Thunder Bluff

You can fish in any of these zones too: The Barrens, Darkshore, Ironforge, Loch Modan, Silverpine Forest, Westfall.

If the fish keep getting away, buy Nightcrawlers from a Fishing Supply vendor. They need Fishing 50.

150-225

You can learn Expert Fishing from the Expert Fishing - The Bass and You book (requires level 20 and Fishing 125) sold by Old Man Heming at Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. He is in the middle of Booty Bay at the very bottom, near the fishing sign. You can also buy the book from the Auction House.

Buy a bunch of Bright Baubles from Old Man Heming before you leave.

Go to Dustwallow Marsh, apply Bright Baubles to your Fishing Pole and fish until 225.

I recommend fishing in Dustwallow because the Artisan Fishing quest starts there, but you can fish in these zones too: Alterac Mountains, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, and Thousand Needles.

Learning Artisan Fishing

To train Fishing past 225, you must complete the quest Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme from Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh.

It requires level 35 and Fishing 225.

Dustwallow Marsh

TomTom In-Game Pin

Tidefury Cove, Dustwallow Marsh

Nat Pagle

To complete the quest, you have to catch 4 quest fish in four different zones:

• Feralas Ahi - Feralas
• Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - Swamp of Sorrows
• Sar'theris Striker - Desolace
• Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - Stranglethorn Vale

Use Bright Baubles when you are fishing in Feralas to stop the fish from getting away. You don't need any lures in the other zones because your Fishing skill is high enough by then.

Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme quest

225-300

After you completed the quest, fish in any of these zones:

• Felwood
• Feralas
• The Hinterlands
• Tanaris
• Un'Goro Crater
• Western Plaguelands

You will have to use Bright Baubles in these zones to stop the fish from getting away!
