Introduction

These quests require level 10 and at least 1 point of fishing skill to accept. All should be possible to complete with such low skill. 75 fishing skill will allow all these daily quests to be completed without catching junk.

Only one Old Azeroth daily fishing quest can be completed each day: You may only complete one fishing daily each day from either Thunder Bluff, Undercity or Orgrimmar.

All the Azeroth daily fishing quests reward a Bag of Shiny Things, 250 reputation, and some fishing skill: Most quests earn 1 point of fishing skill. A Staggering Effort (Orgrimmar), Shiny Baubles (Thunder Bluff) and Like Pike? (Undercity) earn 2 skill points. The bag contains items worth a few Silver, gear such as Bright Baubles, and junk or novelty items. Rare items include:

Completing all 5 quests in each city rewards a "Fish or Cut Bait" achievement for the relevant city. Completing all 3 Fish or Cut Bait achievements (all 15 daily quests) rewards the achievement Gone Fishin'.

Quest fish not biting?
  1. Check the bobber is landing in the named water. For example, Toxic Puddlefish can only be caught from water named "Goblin Slums". Catch is determined by the location of the bobber, not the location of the angler.
  2. Check you are not in a raid group. Quest fish cannot be caught while in a raiding party.

Orgrimmar

All 5 Orgrimmar quests start from Razgar, standing near Lumak in the Valley of Honor. 1 out of a possible 5 is available each day.

Clammy Hands

Monstrous Clam
Monstrous Clam Meat

1-2 Monstrous Clam Meat are looted from each Monstrous Clam object, not caught using fishing. Looting is reported to sometimes waken a (friendly) baby Murloc.

Shiny Stones can only be found around the base of the central column of rock, not the columns that support the 3 rises at the edge of the city.

Nahari Cloudchaser cannot teach other Jewelcrafters to make Shiny Bauble. If you want to buy Shiny Baubles to fish with, visit a fishing vendor.

Outland's daily fishing quests have some great rewards for anglers.

New Dailies

  1. Thay, April 2011:

    From the latest PTR notes:

    •New Cooking and Fishing Dailies have been added to Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff, and Undercity.

    Anyone know if these are just copies of the SW ones (with locations slightly altered) or completly new.

    Also can you do only 1 or will this let you do 3 a day?

    Hopefully they may increase the prize pool from the dailies a little as well

    The PTR is currently still down, so nothing is known yet. The first Undercity quest (which was in the last PTR build) was very basic: A simple fish catch from open water, and delivery to the other side of the city. The reward was unchanged from the Stormwind/Orgrimmar dailies.

  3. el, April 2011:

    You can still only do *one* Azeroth fishing daily per day. For example, Alliance pick either Stormwind, Ironforge or Darnassus. Once you complete one of the dailies, the other quests can't be taken.

  1. el, April 2011:

    There are now details of the quests that have appeared so far on Azeroth Daily Fishing Quests (Alliance) and Azeroth Daily Fishing Quests (Horde). Hopefully more quests will appear when the new day starts on the PTRs - I'm sure plenty are still missing. Fortunately gnomes don't need sleep.

  2. Nadal, April 2011:

    At least they're giving us the choice to use major faction capitals (Orgrimmar and Stormwind) or not, to do the daily quests. I just hope Silvermoon and Exodar will have the same treatment. It would be nice to see that Blizzard hasn't given up these capitals.

    Thanks for the update, a pity, but expected as it was unlikely they'ed force us to visit all 3 cities.

    Still unless they up the rewards people will stop doing them at 85.
    Once you have maxed fishing there seems to be little gained from doing the dailies.

  4. NiceBloke, April 2011:

    Are there achievements for the new fishing dalies?

  5. el, April 2011:

    No achievements... yet.

  6. EIlhan, July 2011:

    I just flew past Stormwind Harbor, and noticed that the Bluetip Thresher there is now a level 15 beast, down from level 85. Some good news for lowbies who are on the Rock Lobster quest :)

  7. Jimbra, April 2012:

    At low level, these quests are good for extra XP and skill points for leveling up. And even after one reaches max Fishing and max level, they are still good for rep building and leveling up your guild. So if you have a few minutes to spare, they are still worthwhile even when maxed out. This advice also applies to the Cooking daily quests.
