Legion Fishing Leveling Guide 1-100

This Legion Fishing leveling guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level Legion Fishing from 1 to 100.

Fishing skill doesn't have any effect on how many fish you catch in the new Legion zones. You will catch the same number of fish with Fishing skill 1, as with Fishing skill 100. The only reason to level Fishing is for Achievements. If you just simply want to farm Legion fish, then you can go and farm with Fishing 1.

Learning Legion Fishing

First, find your trainer Marcia Chase in Dalaran (Broken Isle) and learn Legion Fishing.

Go to the nearest water, find the fishing skill icon in your spell book (P) at the profession tab, drag this icon to somewhere on your action bar. Stand in front of the lake/river and press the fishing button. Mouse over the lure in the water, and when it splashes, right click on it.

Legion fishes by zone:

Baits

There are a number of rare fish in Legion, and items (bait or otherwise) that will help you catch them. When you fish in Legion zones, there is also a chance to catch these baits. If you use these baits, you will have a chance to catch rare fish like [Coldriver Carp], which will give you 5 fishing skill if you throw it back into the water.

Leveling Legion Fishing

You can only level your Legion fishing at Broken Isle zones, you won't gain Legion Fishing skill if you fish elsewhere. I recommend leveling at Azsuna or Stormheim, so you will have a chance to catch the two best baits: [Rusty Queenfish Brooch], [Ancient Vrykul Ring].

If you start from Legion Fishing skill 1, you need to catch around 180 Fish to reach 100, which takes around 45 minutes. You will get to 100 a bit faster if you catch baits, so you should buy a few [Arcane Lure] from the Auction House to increase the chance to catch them. (or farm them but they are only a few gold)

The baits mentioned above are not souldbound, so you can buy them from the Auction house. This means if you have enough gold, you can just buy your way to 100 and you only have to do around 5 minutes of Fishing. (assuming someone is selling them, there are usually very few of these at the Auction House)

Ancient Vrykul Ring

[Ancient Vrykul Ring] grants the buff [Ancient Vrykul Ring], which lasts for 5 minutes. This buff allows you to see [Oodelfjisk] schools in Stormheim.

These Oodelfjisk Schools do not despawn, you can keep fishing up [Oodelfjisk] until the buff lasts. You can usually get 17-22 [Oodelfjisk] in 5 minutes, which means you will probably reach Legion Fishing 100 by using only one Ancient Vrykul Ring.

Drag the Fishing icon to somewhere on your action bar so you can Fish faster!

Go to Stormheim to the middle of the marked area on the map and use [Ancient Vrykul Ring]. Now quickly fly around until you find an Oodelfjisk Schools, then fish there until your buff lasts.

Rusty Queenfish Brooch

Rusty Queenfish Brooch works the same way as Ancient Vrykul Ring

[Rusty Queenfish Brooch] grants the buff [Rusty Queenfish Brooch], which lasts for 5 minutes. This buff allows you to see [Ghostly Queenfish] schools in Stormheim.

These Ghostly Queenfish do not despawn, you can keep fishing up [Ghostly Queenfish] until the buff lasts. You can usually get 17-22 [Ghostly Queenfish] in 5 minutes, which means you will probably reach Legion Fishing 100 by using only one.

Drag the Fishing icon to somewhere on your action bar so you can Fish faster!

Go to Azsuna to the marked area and clear the bears around the small lake, so you won't get interrupted while you have the buff up. Use [Rusty Queenfish Brooch] and a Ghostly Queenfish pool will show up in the small lake, fish there until your buff lasts.
