This WoW fishing guide will help you climb up to another level in a faster, simpler and more effective way. Anything with no relevance was omitted.

Knowing that I’m going to teach fishing in this World of Warcraft Fishing Guide, I’ve also included some cooking skills, since they are companion skills and may be learned at the same time.

If you’re a fast learner, 15 hours is all that it should take for you to complete this guide.

How does skill rates change

The skill rate you have increases depending on your number of successful catches.

Here is the fairly accurate equation:

(current unmodified fishing level – 25) / 25 = # of fish needed to level, assuming there’s a minimum number of fish per catch.

You should also bear in mind that your fishing location does not affect your skill rate. The skill rate changes depending on the successful catches one makes.

Horde

1. Start at Mulgore in Bloodhoof Village.

2. Speak to Harn Longcast, and purchase the recipes Billiant Smallfish and Longjaw Mud Snapper.

3. Go to Stonebull Lake and begin to fish.

4. Equip your rod, and afterwards, apply the shiny bauble as a bait. This makes fishing a lot easier!

5. Spend approximately 40 minutes in catching 60 Brilliant Smallfish.

6. You should have also caught about 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers by now. After catching the 60 Longjaw Mud Snappers, cook all of them. Build your own fire or you can just go back to Harn Longcast and use his fire.

7. Start cooking the Brilliant Smallfish.

8. At level 50, you should start cooking Longjaw Mud Snappers.

9. Catch Longjaw Mud Snappers in the Orgrimmar pond. I suggest that when you get there, stay where you are because the drop rate is better in Orgrimmar.

10. Somewhere between levels 50 and 70, start learning journeyman cooking and fishing.

11. To reach 100 cooking, catch at least 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers.

12. Go to Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad. Seek Derak Nightfall and buy the recipe Bristle Whisker Catfish.

13. In order to reach your cooking level up to 175, you will be required about 80 to 100 of these.

14. Get Expert Cookbook from Shadowprey Village in Desolace when you reach levels 125-150.

15. Go to Booty Bay and purchase a book for your fishing level. Get old man Heming’s book of Expert Fishing.

16. Go to Sahdowprey Village in Desolace once you get to level 175 in cooking.

17. Speak to Wulan and purchase Mithril Head Trout recipe, then begin fishing at the pier.

18. Earn about 60 of these to level up your cooking to 225.

You should have raised your level in fishing and cooking to 225 after following these 18 steps. If you have not reached level 35 yet, this should be as far as you can go. If you are over level 35, you will have 2 quests more to compelte before you can continue.

First quest is cooking while second quest is fishing
