[Fishing] Fishing and Arenas

  1. By GreatEscape13 <Angler> 5 months ago

    Having recently hit 70 and still skilling up my fishing (just did cooking to 375 and found fishing--which i greatly enjoy--and this site in the process)... I've found that I can level my skill in the Orgrimmar pond while waiting for arena matches to begin. Takes about every 5-6 catches at my level (~ 230).

    Only drawback is that my 2v2 partner needs to check that I am not going into the match with the fishing pole equipped... which has happened a frighteningly common number of times (though my crummy arena rating is due to me being generally crappy at PVP rather than fish pole weapon mishaps). Hehe.

    Anyhow, figured I would post the anectdote as well as the way I'm slowly leveling the skill.

    One question... is there a point at which a low level body of water will stop leveling your skill entirely? Didn't see that in my read thru of the site topics.

    Cheers mates.

    (Oh, and P.S. to shaman fishermen. Your elemental weapon enhancements will not work on fishing poles. So no windfury fish pole warriors I'm afraid).

    Fortunately, no. You can skill up from 1-375 in Orgrimmar's pond.

    The action of catching a fish (making the loot window appear) is what will trigger the skillup. It doesn't matter what kind of fish you catch or where you caught it from. You don't even have to loot the fish.

    Hope this helps.

  3. And you can pick an Old Crafty along the way. =D

    I fished mine hiding myself under one of the tends on Valley of Spirits. I got lucky, took ~30 minutes or so.
