Legion Fishing Guide

Thank you for the guide!

I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one excited for a new fishing adventure!

Hmmm .... if we have a Fishing Artifact, do we have a Fishing Order Hall?

Should we have a Fishing Order Hall?
I vote yes!

If you fish on the island off Dalaran with Conjuror Margos, he will also teach you to improve your skill once you have 675 or higher skill in fishing, as does Marcia Chase.

评论来自 Rethu

There is a prerequisite to learn Legion fishing......requires skill of 675.
Tried to learn it on a toon with sub 200 fishing and could not.

评论来自 Komisar

Has anyone had issues with leveling fishing? I have fished up 40 Cursed Queenfish in Azsuna and haven't had one point gain in fishing and I have learned Legion Fishing and it shows i'm at 700 out of 800 skill. Just curious if anyone else is noticing this.

I did see Black Barracuda Pools at the very top of Highmountain along the coast.

I've fished up a few, 马戈斯的徽记, while fishing in the underbelly. Consumed on use, and i don't seem to fish up more than one at a time, so i don't think they stack. Takes you right to him, and he'll even teleport you back for free!

评论来自 thideras

Thanks to Jacobeean, I added information about 马戈斯的徽记.

I updated the guide with more information:

Added 马戈斯的徽记
Added full list of World Quests.
Added full list of Achievements.

In live, I hit 110 the first day, reached max fishing, and am starting to rerun catch numbers to make sure they haven't changed. I should have more updates soon.

Thank you so much for the useful tips and information!

It seems the Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite does not work for getting over to the little island. I jumped from Dalaran it opened then closed 1 second later and dropped me in the ocean. I went back and jumped down to the bottom ledge just under the pet battle area and it wouldn't even open at all. It said can not be used in the area. Maybe Dalaran or The Great Sea is not technically the Broken Isles?

评论来自 ivano42

Marcia Chase does have a prerequisite to train Legion fishing, fishing 675, so learning WOD fishing is nice.

评论来自 Blacfang

I have seen black baccuda pool all over the broken isle. Highmountain highest.xD

评论来自 Deletrix

Black Barracuda do indeed have pools, I fished out of some yesterday along the coast.

评论来自 camy011

In case you are curious how the Angling talents work, it appears on a successful catch from a pool it has a chance to cause the next cast to a pool to trigger the effect. You cannot just keep recasting to a pool until it procs. I confirmed this behavior by fishing from Runescale Koi schools which I have 3/3 in and then went to a Black Barracuda pool which I have 0/3 in and was able to proc the effect. It is thus dependent on the last cast and not your current one.

Something to note I was fishing in Val'Sharah near Moonclaw Vale and a druid just granted me a Buff that let me fish up Terrorfin, so the equivalent to Nightmare Nightcrawler.

Edit: Something to note I had the fishing artifact on.

I made myself a quick reference guide to the rare fish to print. I hope it proves useful to others as well. It reflects the information in this guide as of 5 September 2016, as I've not caught them all myself.

评论来自 Fizzleheck

I've taken to buying a 地精滑翔器工具包 from 莉吉特 (for 10g), and using that to get to 咒法师马戈斯. It's faster and easier than trying to fish up the emblem, especially when the guards aren't around.

You can find Ricket in the middle of Dalaran, after you take the teleport pad, near the portal to Dalaran Crater.

评论来自 MyopicRhino

Awesome guide.

This seems like a good place to ask this: what's the maximum possible skill now? I used to use El's to keep up with that, but sadly, that's no longer an option.

评论来自 drimvon

One question. My fishing still around ~110 and I catch a Shark and got 8 Seabottom Squid, would be better to wait for Fishing 700+ to use them or I can just it now?

评论来自 shorai1

I just want to point out that the Draenor Garrison fishing shacks daily still gives +15 fishing skill so if you are coming straight out of WoD just going back to knock out the daily can be a fast way to level fishing.

评论来自 jason15ju

黑梭鱼 pools are located along the coast line (sea) of Surumar, particularly along the south-east coast line. I managed to farm 150 whilst leveling 700-800 in about 45 minutes. I also fished a number of 啤酒瓶中的信 (4-5 from 40 pools) as well as several 昏迷不醒的愤怒鲨鱼 (its worth noting, with sharks they despawn very rapidly, i let 2 do so before realising they can be "released" and then killed, from the one i did remember to kill the items it dropped netted me 20 skill points)

TL;DR
So.. 45 minutes fishing
4-5 啤酒瓶中的信 leading to 6 rare fish (5 skill points each)
3 昏迷不醒的愤怒鲨鱼
700-800 Fishing.

Could have finished in 30 mins had i not missed out on 2 sharks.

Assuming you're going for the underlight angler artifact fishing rod, while you're working on the "bigger fish to fry" achievement, which is a prerequisite, you'll be tempted to sell al those rares you catch for 10 gold a pop. Don't. Rare fish are used to power up the rod to get traits, just like your artifact weapon. So bank them. You'll be 500 gold or more poorer but you won't have to catch all those fish all over again!

评论来自 reggiedunbar

FYI, you can NOT use the rocfeather kite to get to him.

评论来自 Ferguson005

It is worth noting that the drop rate of rare fish once you have caught and attached a lure seems to be the same whether you are fishing in pools or open water (in my experience I catch more rare fish in open water than from pools)

It seems gliders no longer work for getting to Conjurer Margoss

评论来自 ureonfire

So I am a fishing NERD, the BEST way to level fishing from any stand point, level 1 to whatever, is to do the following. Get to Drowned Mana Island, take Margoss quest, join a group fishing for drowned mana. Turn in quest after fishing up one mana... keep fishing up drowned Mana while in group, and turn them in for 20+ ARCANE LURES. Buy some Worm Supreme and a Vykrul Ring lure...and then get yourself to Sky Fire Triage Camp. Once there, pop the lure, the worm and the ring... if you catch the other lures while fishing, keep them in your bag until another ring is fished up...once your ring expires throw in the new ring, keeping arcane lure and worms refreshed... will take less than an hour to go from 1-800!
If you can't buy a vykrul ring use the arcane lure and worm supreme combo in pools until you get one. Keeping the other lures in your bags, makes the lure you want to drop, drop!

评论来自 Morningdove

Just a note, you do not have to use bait to catch rare fish, nor do you need a pole. I get plenty of rare fish and have yet to use a pole/lure.

评论来自 506637

Another reliable--and infinitely repeatable--way to get to Margoss Retreat if you lack the inherent class abilities to do so is to head to Terokkar Forest in Outland and work on Sha'tari Skyguard reputation. Once you make it to revered with them, you can buy the Skywitch's Drape.

When you put it on, you have to wait 30 seconds until you can activate it. With this in mind, it is a good idea to put it on when you decide to head the retreat instead of waiting until you arrive at the ledge.

It is an item that I earned when the content was current and I've kept it in my bags ever since for its situational usefulness.

My artifact research did NOT make me get more artifact points from the rare fish. Anyone else having this issue?

评论来自 miniwidge

One note: there ARE pools for the Mackerel... sort of. They are untrackable, even with the find fishing pools book. I've found them only in Stormheim (in the Vrykul area at sea level where the ghost ship World Quest takes place). They have little bits of wood floating in them and they're permanent, as far as I could tell. At least, I couldn't fish one out after being there an hour.

Although technically it's not a Mackerel pool (since you can get other fish there too), it's still a pool, mainly Mackerel and, since it's fairly permanent, I'm thinking it's a good place to use lures and bait. Haven't tried yet, as the toons that have found them didn't have lures.

评论来自 Dilldeauxlight

Schools of black barracuda can be found in northern Highmountain near the flight point Shipwreck Cove.

评论来自 1510906

This is a wonderful guide and truly an invaluable aid to provide to one of the most time consuming and least impressive skills in the game, but that being said, I must ask a rather pertinent question. It seems like this is being hailed as "The Fishing Guide" and it seems rather lackluster on the other 1-600 fishing levels in the game.

Is there an actual "The Fishing Guide" or are we left forlorn to try and guess what to type into the search bar for topics about fishing for, say, Cataclysm, Northrend, Outland, and Classic?

评论来自 Hopelesshobo

Is there any point in the +Fishing Skill lures once you hit 800 fishing?

评论来自 svann

Caught a Stunned angry shark as a 2nd item. Clicked him and he starts attacking me. Killed him and got 9 Seabottom Squid from his belly. +5 fishing skill each! Permanent raise, not a buff. OP? This was while fishing barracuda from ocean.

评论来自 Gamara

Mages can cast slow fall, then mount a mammoth and jump to get to the floating island. Slow fall by itself won't work and you'll fall into the ocean.

评论来自 thideras

I updated the guide for 7.1.

The World Quest links are still valid (and the right ID), but Wowhead seems to be missing the quests.

评论来自 CruVaizard

Ok I have 2 questions:
1) Does an extra fishing skill points...past the 800 normal cap, give you higher chances of catching any of that rare bait?
2) Should I even go for that "underlight blessing" that turns me into a fish...as a druid? Is it faster than the seal form? Or should I purposely avoid taking that talent cause it will cause issues? (Please only definite and certain answers!)

As of patch 7.1, 沉睡的鱼人 seems to be dropping 2-3x as much fish as it used to.

评论来自 Ulrikekekeka

Just thought I would add this.

Under the "Suggested Leveling Method" section, you can also do the same thing with the Ancient Vrykul Ring.

These are caught in Stormheim and allow you to see Oodelfjisk pools.
When fishing for the Ancient Vrykul Ring, make sure you are only fishing the Fever of Stormrays pools.

At lower level fishing skill, Oodelfjisk will give you 5 fishing skill points when thrown back into the water. At level 800, and after you have obtained and are using the Underlight Angler, they award 50 points towards your Underlight Angler Artifact Power.

By the way, unlike normal fishing pools, the Oodelfjisk pools don't expire after you've caught 3-5 fish. They stay there until the 'bait' timer runs out.

评论来自 Biscuri

Just a little update suggestion, the guide questions the existence of Black Barracuda pools, but I found some on the shore to the south of Azsuna today.

评论来自 Hayew

Great guide...yeah El's guide is sorely missed - thanks for picking up the slack!

Does anybody know of a buff or anything to shorten cast time? Like my Worgen skins super fast as a racial, or the Miner's coffee you drank in the Garrison mines to speed up mining.

评论来自 dashfiss

Great guide -- should have a note on WoD fishing though, this will raise your skill cap to 700, and you won't have to visit the trainer for a loong time. NOTHING is worse than fishing at cap and not noticing :p

The Legion trainer will not raise your cap to 800 until you're at 675 anyway.

Go fish anywhere in Draenor (except inside Garrison) and you will get 德拉诺钓鱼指南 on your first cast, usable at skill 1, level 1 (the item says level 90 on Wowhead, this is incorrect, the level restriction is gone).

If you're low level you can ask a mage to make a portal to Stormshield (A) or Warspear (H), head down to the sea and you'll have it in seconds.

Don't forget 饱经风霜的日记, read my comment there on how to get it :)

评论来自 cag8f

With regards to the rare fish in Highmountain, the guide has mismatched a couple of the fish and their lures.

The guide says Frost Worm helps catch Coldriver Carp, while actually helps catch Ancient Highmountain Salmon.
The guide says Swollen Murloc Egg helps catch Mountain Puffer, while actually helps catch Coldriver Carp.

评论来自 NuclearChicken

I created a macro that will automatically throw back any rare fish you have when you next time cast fishing. Now you will save time and bag space. This macro works both for leveling up your fishing skill and leveling up your artifact. You need the addon "Long Macros" however.
Note: I did not include 昏迷不醒的愤怒鲨鱼 in the macro, so remember to use it before the end of the duration.

I must say, this is an excellent guide and this plus your artifact guide helped me out a lot, but I have one question/suggenstion. Should this guide be updated any further, do you have any plans to add anything about all the new coins in the Dalaran Fountain and the "baits" for said coins that you can purchase from 玛西娅·切斯?

评论来自 project9501

Question that I haven't seen asked or answered:

Can you fish the lures and/or rare fish out of open water, or do they only appear from pools?

EDIT: Per http://www.wowhead.com/the-legion-fishing-artifact-underlight-angler:

...the rare fish can only be caught with lures, which has 1% drop rate or less in open waters. Pools may have a higher drop rate of lures, but the travel time between them may not be worth it. There are 3 rare fish per zone, including the zone-unspecific "ocean".

The catch rate of rare lures is higher in pools (~5% vs ~1%).

So, that answers that. No mention about whether rare fish can be caught in open waters, but presumably they can with similar drop rates as the lures?

评论来自 Wowzir

Does anyone have experience with fishing in special places within the Broken Isles such as the Dreamgrove for Druids or at any of the other Class Order Halls with fishable(?) water? I am particularly interested in whether I can catch "Val'sharah" rare fish inside the Dreamgrove.

Thanks for any input you may be able to provide, and, good luck fishin'!

Back from Val'sharah with news to report...

Fishing at a buffed skill levell of 800+205 (1005) while also using 奥术鱼饵s

The Dreamgrove (Druid Order Hall) was fished for about 45 minutes
Caught 银鲭鱼, 藓鳃鲈鱼, in typical numbers for each and
a single (duplicate for me) 浮标：拖船
Nothing else was caught.

Lorathil, Val"sharah (near 53. 73) was fished for about 65 minutes
Caught 银鲭鱼, 藓鳃鲈鱼, in typical numbers for each and
a pair (duplicates for me) of 浮标：拖船
ALSO caught
(5) 上古藓鳃鲈鱼
(6) 恐鳍鱼
(11) 尖刺比目鱼
Total BAITS caught during this time: (2) 腐烂的鱼骨, (1) 噩梦夜色虫, and (2) 淹死的蓟叶林精

22 rares @ 10 gold each = 220 gold
The two extra baits were NOT needed and could be vendored for 2 gold each, however, they usually bring a fairly decent price on the AH, or can be sent to alts or used in the future.

So, I am convinced that fishing for RARES in the Class Order Halls is likely to be an exercise in futility! There are no rares there, and/or, the 奥术鱼饵 does NOT work there.

评论来自 ivano42

I've seen no data that higher fishing skill helps, so just level as you go. I would even vendor the rare fish.

评论来自 Scuzzball

Thanks for the guide. I'm looking for an idiots guide to fishing, as I've got a rod, but I'm presuming I need bait as well? And do I just stand there and wait, like a real fisherman?

评论来自 Boodicca

Excellent Val'Sharah fishing area is all around the island with the temple at roughly 73, 40. Several pools, no hostiles, large area.

评论来自 JohnPombrio

I found a great place to grind the rares once you have done the Jandvil's Jarl questline. In Suramar, fish Azuregale Bay from 73,50 at Janvik village (set your hearth there) to the end of the North side of the bay 84,52 until you have Surface Tension and Underlight Blessing which opens up the whole bay as a big ring of pools. There is a continuous line of Barracuda pools around the bay with no pesky fights with the local mobs. There are also pools around the island that is good if you run out of pools. Plenty of bait, the shark drops a ton of rares, and the normal rares are common. This handily beats any other place I tried for leveling the pole as I got a ton of gold from the fish themselves and the pools will almost always pop once level 3 in Black Barracuda is reached. The bait is usually had before it runs out as long as Arcane Lure is running. If you are a miner, there are several nodes around the bay.

The problem with the Brooch approach or the Ring is that the pool will never pop and you will have to wait for a regular cast for each and every rare. You also get nothing to sell from the pool. The Barracuda sell for about 2K gold for a stack of 200. After finishing at level 24, the mountain of fish earned me around $90K of gold! I also got 150+ Bloods as well. Go with the Suramar approach.

I got the final level. The last three levels are the hardest. Here is what I learned for going from zero to hero in this fishing zone.
1. The first three traits on the pole should be getting 3 levels in Black Barracuda. It is SO much faster to fish with this leveling in place as I rarely had to wait for a normal cast for the 4-5 casts before the pool would pop. You also get loads more fish and lures with level 3.
2. Next trait to get is Surface Tension as it also make fishing a lot faster.
3. Underlight blessing is the final must have (and is a great way to run away from angry mobs in a hurry when you are near water!)
4. Undercurrent, Better Luck Next Time, and Way of the Flounder were all pretty much useless for me. Lots of 3 gold boots, rarely a green level 780, and no rare boots at all.
5. The best to worst sales of fish on my server are as follows, Highmountain Salmon, Black Barracude, Runescale Koi, Stormray, Mossgill Perch, and tying for last place is Cursed Queenfish and Silver Mackerel. This gives you an idea of where to put your artifact points in.
6. A higher level of the pole does NOT confer any benefit except for longer bait times as far as I can tell. Getting to level 3 is the most important thing for catching fish in a pool. It also is way harder to get the final levels so there is no reason to keep going once you have what fish you want to catch leveled up.
7. Keep Arcane Lure and a fishing lure on the pole at all times. What bait you use is dependent on your level as the 2 minute bait goes quickly at lower levels but provides somewhat better rare drops. Around level 15 switch from Ravenous Fly to Axefish Lure. Make sure to empty the Flask and the Blubber if you do not already have the Fly And Axefish in your bags or you just used one.
I recommend buying the Mammoth mount in Daralan as you can sell and buy back extra bait at any time with the traders. Can make some decent gold with the bait as well.
8. It's best to drop the sharks on land once you have switched to your weapon.

评论来自 Deletrix

First, in addition to the lures that can give leveling fish, you can fish up Stunned, Angry Shark which drops quite a few Seabottom Squid. I find the coasts are great, there are relatively few mobs or other players for competition.

Second, if you fished during Mists, you can buy a BoA fishing book from Nat Pagle/Anglers and pass it to your alts to level fishing quickly. Garrisons may still give + fishing skill as well. If you are leveling up from a low fishing skill level, you should be able to fish up the Draenor fishing training manual from a pool in Draenor regardless of fishing skill. That will avoid you having to revisit the trainer all the time, allowing you to toss back in the leveling fish as you get them until you are ready to learn Legion fishing.

Happy fishing!

For those trying to do fishing world quests, you must have fishing lvl 100 in order to see and complete the world quests on your map!

EDIT: I was just leveling one of my alts fishing today, and when I had her fishing up to lvl 80, I noticed a fishing world quest pop up on my map. Not sure if once i hit 75 fishing it was available, but it looks like you have access to the fishing world quests before lvl 100 fishing.

评论来自 fanny

So Raynae was up today. Took approx 600 +/- globules to hit max, I have human bonus and she is an all or nothing kind of gal -- so you can't choose to turn in in sets of 5-10 like with Margoss. Similar mechanic where you loot a green Disgusting Ooze that when killed, makes the pond near her sparkly like with Margoss and boosts the drop rate. I was getting about 1 corrupted globule on a random basis without the buff and 2-4 with the buff up. The ooze has a throwback mechanic, you can see a red globule descending and/or check to see if he's targetting you. Highly recommended to search group finder, so that you can get a raid group and maximize buff uptime. Enjoy!

评论来自 joneser67

Just a little correction for your guide. There is a prerequisite required to purchase Legion Fishing from Marsha Chase in Dalaran at the fountain. You need to already have 675 skill in fishing. I just talked to her and this is current as of 8/30/2017 (patch 7.3 dropped yesterday). This may be handy to update/correct in case there is someone new to fishing following this guide and thinking they can just go get it from her without having already done some major grinding.

Worth mentioning is that is is useful to do the reputation grinds with the fisher friends or Margoss when the Darkmoon Faire is up and you can use the reputation buff of the merry-go-round or the hats. Makes the grind a lot faster.

评论来自 iriika

Thank you for the wonderful guide and keeping it updated! The only info I did not see mentioned anywhere is that the reputation items for Margoss and fisherfriends cap at 1 stack of 100. I did not realize this at first, so after I got a stack of 100, I kept happily fishing expecting a second stack to form in my bag. The game itself also did not prompt me as I would typically expect it to with any kind of message like "you can not carry any more of that item". With certain fisherfriends or while in a raid group you can reach 100 pretty quickly so it's important to keep an eye on your stack and get the items turned in to avoid reaching cap and the items no longer going in your bag! =)
