An Introduction to AnglingFishing vs. Angling: What in Azeroth is the difference!?

Fisherman

Angler

Fishes for the sake of acquiring Raid Food or making gold by selling the finished, cooked product.

Fishes because nothing says "dedicated" like gathering 300 Сырой шалфокунь in a day. Or 600. OR 1000!

Knows where to find the essential fish relevant to his daily raiding and gold-making needs.

Knows where to find any type of fish, old and current, and knows the most efficient locations to fish em' up.

Refers to specific catches as "Agility Fish" or "Intellect Fish" based on the Сытость buff they provide.

Refers to fish by their actual name: Штормовой скат isn't "Mastery Fish", and Мохножабрый окунь CERTAINLY isn't just "Haste Fish".

Has completed the Fishing Achievements for the Achievements Points they provided.

Has completed the Fishing Achievements naturally, without effort.

Was a bit disgruntled that The Anglers provided no items of interest for raiding, PvPing or gold-making. Has tried to sell the Маленькая золотая рыбка unsuccessfully many times.

Was absolutely ecstatic when Nat Pagle was announced as the Quartermaster for a faction, and spent hours paddling between Fishing Schools on an Плот рыболова. And still does.

Deleted countless Off-Hand heavy fish without thinking on it too much.

Knows the meaning of fishing out a 103-фунтовая мощь-рыба, and cannot give it a monetary value within reasonable bounds.

Obtention difficulty: Easy

Obtention difficulty: Moderate

Удочка
Purchasable at Fishing Supplies merchants. This is your mreost faithful friend in times of necessity: when no pole is available, find a merchant and buy one off him. Why not use a wooden stick and a twig, you say? Get some pride, you heathen! Angle or don't, don't dabble in mere fishermanning.

Пандаренская удочка
Purchased from Nat Pagle after reaching "Honored" with The Anglers. You'd think after all the damned baited crab pots, the mountains of Глаз шустрого краба and the scavenged Сбор металлолома they'd give you the thing, eh? Dream on, it's . Comes with a slight discount because you're a friend, but no more.

Крепкая удочка
Purchasable at Fishing Supplies merchants. One of your first joyful moments will be the acquisition of this rubbish, as you contemplate the fact that you are skilled enough to cast a line in a pond. You will then walk by a bloke with an actual fishing pole, which will make or break your determination: will you, or won't you be among the few, the dedicated, the ANGLERS? This is your crucible.

Продвинутая рыбалка Ната Пэгла FC-5000
Reward from Faction-specific quests: Хрустогрызы, чувак! for the Horde, and Хрустогрызы, сэр! for the Alliance. Given to you as a "Thank you" for ridding an area of crazed turtles, this pole should last you well into your advanced years. Commissioned by Nat Pagle himself in his early Angling days, this is but a leftover. The best is yet to come, but only patience and commitment will get you there.

Удочка Стаатса
Reward from a low level Alliance-only quest: Любовь к окуням. A few throws are all it takes to realize that Джонатан Стаатс failed his crucible. He managed, and Sargeras only knows how he did, to make a Крепкая удочка worse than it was. I'm going to bet on some frenetic Worgen inclination to chew on sticks. I otherwise have no explanation. Let me know if you figure it out, will you?

Графитовая удочка Сета
Reward from an Outlands quest, Без рыбалки. Considering the age of the boy and his knowledge of seas and oceans and lakes and other watery pools, I think he might've known some fisherman or another before he came through the Dark Portal. Based on what the kid says, he might have had to learn some manual labor back Lakeshire, which could explain the craftsmanship behind this pole. Can't say it would've occurred to me to make a pole out of graphite. Can't even say I knew what graphite was before this pole came up, either.

Удочка Тукра
Lurking in the depths of the very cold and very damp and very dark Непроглядная Пучина, an Ogre lies in wait... Тукр expects you, spiked mace in hand, and fillet knife on the hip. Due to his affiliation to the Twilight's Hammer cult you may want to approach him with caution, but I gather a good whack on the head should suffice to knock him cold! Once that's done, all that's left is for you to surreptitiously borrow his fishing rod, and then leave the area. Without attracting any Murloc's attention. Yep. Good luck with that.

Счастливая удочка Ната
Reward from completing a quest from the self-proclaimed Master himself: Нат Пэгл, великий рыболов. The Quest can take a bit of time to complete, but the reward is guaranteed! You'll be running all over Azeroth to catch some probably-random-fish of Nat Pagle's choice. Once that's done, you'll be going back to the depths of Dustwallow Marsh and give him back the fish. Unspoiled and fresh, at that. So fish fast, move fast, and get lucky!

Obtention difficulty: Hard

Obtention difficulty:Hardcore

Удочка со стразами
Found in Сумка с блестяшками and Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, themselves obtained from completing Fishing Daily Quests. Probably co-designed by Марсия Чейз and Псения Кобчак, considering how exuberant it is. I can't imagine any self-respecting Angler using the pole. In fact, you know what? Just gift it to that lonely soul you want to wed. Might just be understood as a badge of appreciation. But it's really not. Don't let them know, though.

Мастерски сделанная калуакская удочка
Purchase from Sairuk or Tanaika after reaching "Exalted" with The Kalu'ak. Sole beacon of hope in this world of Anglinglessness, these proud Walrus-like humanoids are among the few beings left to admire. Driven by need and hunger but passionate and understanding, the Kalu'ak are the people I feel all Anglers belong to. Visit them, in Northrend, and learn wisdom from their ways. They have taught me many a thing, the most important of which was "If you wish for a fish, fish for a wish.".

Hm...That might've been from Мистер Пинчи though...

Костяная удочка
Found in Сумка с блестяшками and Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, themselves obtained from completing Fishing Daily Quests. I recall reading somewhere that Undead had Сопротивление темной магии as a Racial Ability. I also can't help but notice the Shadow Resistance on this pole... It's also made of bone. Need I say more?

Арканитовая удочка
One of the two exclusive rewards for the First Place winner of the . Every Angler's dream, this pole will not only last forever due to being made out of one of the most durable materials out there, but it's also sturdy enough to bash a Кракканон's scales to bits, or to shatter an aggressive Snapjaw Turtle's shell to bits! And every other Angler out there will be jealous of you...that is, unless they have one of their own!

Счастливая удочка драконов
Purchase from Nat Pagle after reaching "Revered" with The Anglers. Carefully crafted and masterfully decorated by Pandaren ~~slaves~~ blacksmiths, this Fishing pole is among the things you can look forward to from this ancient, forgotten continent. It doesn't breathe fire, but it splashes water!

Удочка из темной древесины
Very, very rarely fished from INLAND waters where Сырая ощетиненная зубатка is the main catch: Arathi Highlands, Ashenvale, Duskwood, Hillsbrad Foothills, Northern Stranglethorn, Redridge Mountains, Stonetalon Mountains, Wetlands.

You may be scoffing at the thought that this is rare and valuable, but you just wait until you try to catch it. You...just...wait...
...
and wait...

Большая железная удочка
Found by opening Ловушка на моллюска while on a specific Horde-only Quest: Рыбка в ведерке. The pole can be traded afterwards, but the rate at which it is found makes this pole quite hard to acquire.

Эфемерная удочка
If you perservere in throwing a million lines in the murky waters of Draenor, wherever you wish, you may be able to find this beauty amidst the heaps and heaps of smelly . You can then, for a limited time of twenty-four hours, feel excessively skilled in your craft. You really aren't, though. The fish just like shinier poles, and this is the shiniest!

Механизированная удочка
On a scale of minnow to whale, how adventurous are you feeling? Do you wake up every morning asking yourself "What miserable adventure could I embark on to risk my life to get a new fishing pole?" Boy, have I got the thing for you to do! Head on over to Mechagon, talk to our glorious Gnomish friend Даниэлла Наловись, learn to make a Приманка сотни фатомов to call forth a monstrous, fiendish, devilish, dangerous, tremendously spooky, wet, moist, scaly beast: Глубоководный пожиратель. If you need pointers to figure out how to take down the beast, buy my book: "Ridiculously Large Sea Monsters and How to Avoid Them While Adventurers Take Them Down In Your Stead."

Яростная удочка / Дренейская удочка
With Nat's arrival in your garrison (yes, I swear, only yours, no one else's ever before nor after), the time has come to celebrate! In fact, each faction gets access to a little special something of their own. First, however, you must have caught your fair share of Lunkers or, alternatively, have killed your lot of Обитатель ледяных пещер / Обитатель пещер Зашедшей Луны (also faction-dependent) and acquired some fishy coinage. You'll only need to get yourself some twenty-five Счастливая монетка Ната to trade in for your faction-specific fishing pole. I'm not one to trust gossip, but I heard that Horde stinks, so I'd probably just try to shoot for the Draenic Fishing Pole myself...

Удочка Темносвета
After years of being ignored and demeaned by other citizens of Azeroth who turned their nose when our fish-smelling overalls bothered their sensitivities, disregarding the fact that we were they who provided the sustenance required for their adventures, at last we have been gifted redemption: a pole to rival the legends of old, Испепелитель, Молот Рока and Скипетр Саргераса. Acquiring this artifact is an extremely arduous process that begins in the cradle: one must first be the recipient of a most unique vision.

In said vision, Нат Пэгл is said to stand on the inner shores of Зул'Гуруб, waiting for the inevitable awakening of Газ'ранка. You, in the vision, will be but an observer. As the hydra emerges from the depths of the fateful dungeon, Nat Pagle uncorks a most potent beverage, his famed lager, and, with a heavy gulp, turns to the beast, screaming, "I can wait and fish all day!". Dismayed by the taunt, the hydra roars. Smiling confidently, our master and savior bursts forward, wielding none other than Уничтожитель рыбы Ната Пэгла, and, with a twist of the wrist, and in a single whack, puts down the beast.

Alternatively, if you were not privy to such a vision, you can learn how to get the pole here: The Underlight Angler - A Step by Step Guide to Obtaining Legion's Fishing Artifact

Hats & Headgear

Boots & Footgear

Счастливая шляпа рыболова
Fish out a Рыба-ангел Кифера from a School of Крапчатая вкуснорыба during the and turn it in to Рыбобот 5000.
Nobody quite knows how much fish exactly the Bot can collect, but I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning its tank after the contest. Nope, I wouldn't.

Небывалые рыбацкие сапоги Ната Пэгла
Fish out a Синий полосатик Браунелла from a School of Крапчатая вкуснорыба during the and turn it in to Рыбобот 5000.
After careful examination and content analysis by one of my fellow Gnomes, I learned that the boots' soles were made out of the collected fish's skin. This explains the peculiar, inadvertent slip-ups and slides...

Видавшая виды рыболовная шапка
- Found in Сумка с блестяшками and Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, themselves obtained from completing Fishing Daily Quests.
Once you've obtained the hat, you'll probably realize that its name was chosen well: it's ugly, it's torn apart, and it has a smell you'll never, ever quite be able to pinpoint. They purposely don't mention to whom it belonged, that much I'm sure, for fear we wouldn't take it. Clever, clever quest givers.

Сапоги Пиратской бухты
One of the exclusive rewards for the First and Second Place winners of the .
The teleport effect makes for easy visits to that tavern, and I don't think I need to explain to you why that would be interesting, what with all the flowing mead and lager! Did I mention proximity to Duskwood, and thus the Кусеница? GLORY!

Рыбацкая шляпа Новолуния
Very rare catch from the open waters around Остров Новолуния.
This helmet's effect is fairly straightforward: it amasses nearby garbage in a tiny area, and you can fish that garbage OUT of the water and into the consumer's hands! Environmentally and ecologically sound, the Darkmoon Faire has practical solutions to counterpoint its need to waste away tons of crates and metal scraps for the sake of our entertainment! It only accounts for 1% of the total pollution, but we'll get there eventually. Cast away!

Сандалии Арта Удильщика / Ботфорты Арта Удильщика / Бродни Арта Удильщика / Высокие ботинки Арта Удильщика
Have you met a person so distinguished as Nat Pagle before? I hadn't, I must say... Well, that is until I met Арт Хьюи. Located on the docks of eastern Друствар, he's looking for your help. He seeks revenge against the most abominable of abominations: a cowardly _bait thief_. Slay the thief, and one of these pairs of boots is yours. That's a good deal, innit?

Шляпа Ната
Purchase from Nat Pagle after becoming Best Friends with Nat Pagle. You do so by turning in your daily load of Мимикрирующий осьминог, Самец иглоспинки and Летающий тигровый гурами! Considering the amount of people I've seen walking around with the thing, and based on the seemingly increasing amount of bugs in my vicinity after I equip it, I think they meant to call it "Gnat's Hat". It certainly isn't unique, and you'd be silly to believe it belonged to Nat himself. Let's be real, here. At least you won't have to carry anymore lures with the amount of bugs it seems to attract; fish are drawn to the surface immediately, whether you want them or not.

Шляпа со щупальцами
As a result of throwing too many Angler-restricted gatherings Nat Pagle has had to come up with a plethora of flavorful party hats! Sometimes, the damned man goes a bit...overboard. Literally. And that gives him ideas.
This is one such idea. After getting ahold of some of the newer Draenic specimens, he commissioned Marcia Chase to come up with an ergonomic and comfortable head-octopus. Since Angler parties tend to get a little slippery and uncontrollable, some have accidentally even lost their hat! And like any living octopus should, the damned thing just swam away. You may be able to find one of these, once in a while, in the Frostfire Ridge or the Nagrand Hallvalor waters. If you do, cherish it: these species tend to have very short lives outside of their natural habitat... Then again, most would get tired of having an octopus on their head after a week.

But maybe that's your thing. No judgment.

Шляпа главного рыбака
Much like the genius idea that was the Шляпа со щупальцами, this is also inspired by Nat Pagle's. This one is a lot more stable. For those of us who prefer more modest fish-made hats, this is arguably the best alternative to the aggravatingly twitchy and wibbly-wobbly octopus. Much like the latter however, the Hightfish has a short life span outside of its waters: one week at best. Of constant exposure to the air, of course, but one week nonetheless. If anything could be qualified as such, this would be, in my humble opinion..."The Crown of Anglers"!

Wear it with pride... if you find it! Where, you ask?

Nagrand, outside of Hallvalor. One hat per area. Nagrand is quite the Angler congregation hub, hm?

Питейная шляпа Ната
As you already know, our Angling Lord (all praise Him) Нат Пэгл likes to peddle sketchy, smelly wares to unsuspecting buyers for outrageous prices. First, he tried to get us to buy his stinking Шляпа Ната, and now THIS!? This is outrageous! And, believe it or not, he wants US to fish out some Lunkers for HIM in return for HIS Счастливая монетка Ната so we can buy HIS Питейная шляпа Ната from HIM! What is this madness!? LET'S PUT A STOP TO THIS, ONCE AND FOR ALL...

Let's buy it for 25 coins, and never deal with the man again.

Fishing Lines

Fishing Enchantments

Крепкая рыболовная леска
Found by opening Проклятие Стенделя, a rare catch in Stendel's Pond, in Westfall. It's probably a better line than the one that came on your initial pole, but...not by much. At all.

Рыбная ловля
The Formula can be looted from various Murlocs in Hillsbrad Foothills; the easiest way to get this would be to find a friendly Enchanter and bring him the materials! Preferably one who went out of his way to commit a Murloc genocide, since the Formula is so rare!

Крученая рыболовная леска из истинного серебра
Found rarely when opening Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, itself obtained by completing Outlands Fishing Daily Quests. This lightly-threaded Truesilver filament gives off a light blue tinge, attracting fish more readily than your typical, bland line.

Рыболов
The Formula can be found on some Indu'le NPCs in Dragonblight. Much like its lower level counterpart, this would be more easily obtainable by finding an Enchanter and bringing him the materials! If you decide to grind the Formula out, don't feel too bad for the dead Tuskarr, they were insane anyway... but I warn you: prepare for some lengthy time spent amassing Ледоспинка for the Эфириальное масло, though. These slippery little fiends! If you're on a generous streak, consider gathering more than you need and selling them for cheap! Other Anglers will be thankful!

Сверхпрочная этерниевая леска
- Found rarely when opening Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, itself obtained by completing Northrend Fishing Daily Quests.
- Fish out a Дезийская ставрида from a School of Крапчатая вкуснорыба during the and turn it in to Рыбобот 5000.
- One of multiple reward choices for the First and Second Place winners of the ; coming in Third Place grants you one automatically.

Счастливая леска Рука
If you've visited Cenarion Refuge in the shroomy land of Zangarmarsh, you probably had a staring contest with a stubborn raven named Грач. Having gone back through time to figure out where his legendary patience stemmed from, I stumbled upon Рыболовные снасти Рука, in the older Nagrand. If you told me you couldn't be bothered striving for excellence I'd not blame you, but you'd have to beat me in a staring contest first. Or Rook. But I lose patience faster than Rook.
Or do I?

Старинная леска
On the demon-infested lands of Argus lie peculiar truths you may unearth as you journey ever further. One of these truths goes as follows: some demons are quite decent at Fishing, despite outwards appearances. One would think that they who feast on fel energy would not care for fish, but Angling is universal indeed. And so you may slay Слизон Последний из Змеев in Mac'Aree and, from his dessicated corpse, loot this most glorious thread filament. Attach it to your most prized Pole, and never look back.

Буксирный поплавок
An ephemeral version of Ящик поплавков: буксир, this can be found in the often-used-as-a-trash-can waters of Darkmoon Faire. We can presume they are but toys dropped from children flying above the island seated on incredibly safe rockets!

Поплавок "Мурлок"
While Кудесник Маргосс is willing to sell to you an infinitely usable crate of Murloc heads, he also deals in smaller amounts. In exchange for 25 Утопленная мана, you may get yourself a quintet of Murloc heads to waste away. I recommend against using them, but the choice is yours.

Поплавок из игрушечной уточки
Quack quack! Quack. Wack quack! What? Quack! Quick, quack! Quack quack, 25 Утопленная мана, quack Кудесник Маргосс.

Ящик поплавков: уточка
Aaah, down memory lane you go. Do you remember the times you used to squeak that duck in the bath? No, no, not THAT duck, you fiendish fool. The real squeaky ducks. Well, you can relive the memories if you hit up your boy Кудесник Маргосс and buy it off of him.

Ящик поплавков: голова мурлока
RWLRWLRWL! MRGLE MRGLE! MRGL! RRRWL Кудесник Маргосс RWLRWL!

Ящик поплавков: деревянный Пепе
First of a new generation of glorious bobbers from the Broken Isles! Don't you point that Pepe at me! It's a dangerous thing, that, and, uh...well, if you wanted it, you'd be fishing open water in the Broken Isles. To speed up the process, I hear that waters near active Fishing Masters from Друг рыболовов have an even higher drop rate. DON'T YOU POINT THAT PEPE AT ME.

Ящик поплавков: банка для червей
The truth of the matter is that worms are boring. They're efficient, but they're boring. They're so boring they can't even be unique in the place you catch them. Yes, yes, open waters of the Broken Isles, yadda yadda. Zzz.

Ящик поплавков: буксир
I never thought I'd fish out a boat, it's a big blue watery bobber. Open Broken Isles water you shall fish from, and glorious Boats you shall find. Do beware loneliness if you fish off an island's coast.

Ящик поплавков: кошачья голова
I'm not a cat person, nor a dog person, only a fish person. However, if a cat bobber's glowy eyes can help me catch fish, I'm all for experimentation. You've just got to hit these Broken Isles open waters and hope for the best.

Ящик поплавков: башка демона
Бесс is quite the demanding little demon, as he is a Master Fisher, but rewards abound. Well, they don't really, but they're worth your time if you have time to spare and waste. Once every few days, he'll show up in the Broken Shore for you to slave away, gathering Нечистая водоросль. Once you become his Best Friend, for 100 units of the disgusting stuff, you can purchase that bobber.

Ящик поплавков: лик леса
If one were inclined to sit all day and fish in Val'sharah, one may occasionally stumble upon Хранительница Рейна. She may be stern of gaze and prouder than Cenarius, but she is a fierce Master Fisher if I've seen one, ever! Become her best friend, and exchange 100 Оскверненная капля for this beautiful bobber, an everlasting representation of her sylvan beauty. It DOES NOT have hooves. I checked.

Ящик поплавков: плавающий тотем
A Draenei Shaman named Spacetotem once told me you couldn't trust a Totem that couldn't float, and I've not trusted a totem since...before this one! Акуле Речной Рог is waiting to be Best Friends with you and sell you one of these, assuming you're willing to give him 100 Фрагмент древнего тотема.

Ящик поплавков: резной деревянный шлем
First, the Vrykul came for our lands. Then, they came for our homes. Then, they came for our children. And now they're here for our fish. NO MORE, I SAY! Use their helmets as bobbers, I say! Корбин wants your Блестящая побрякушка, a hundred of them, and you'll get a Vrykul helm for a bobber!

Ящик поплавков: модель гондолы
Oh, romance, when you hold us! A beautiful delusion, the prettiest of them all! And who more keen to its charms than Suramar's sheltered dwellers? Ша'лет is one of these, but she is peculiar in that she's in charge of cleaning sewers. Help her out, become her best friend, give her a hundred Золотистая рыбешка and lull yourself to sleep with a silly boat replica.

Ящик поплавков: заколдованный поплавок
Night elves aren't nearly as nice as they seem. Don't buy into the lie. But if you want a face of their scheming little features for a bobber, Илиссия Водная has your back (with a dagger in it, probably).

The Secondary Essentials: Lures & ConsumablesШляпа НатаВидавшая виды рыболовная шапкаneverКусеницаАквадинамический магнит для рыбы

Стеклянный поплавок
Contained in Сумка с блестяшками, itself obtained from Azeroth Fishing Daily Quests. This fragile bauble is of limited interest for advanced Anglers, but it can be of some use for the younger, less experienced ones. Despite its low practical utility, its rarity still makes it a coveted item among collectors...which serious Anglers most definitely are.

Блесна
Purchased from a variety of Trade & General Goods and Fishing Supplies Merchants. It's shiny, and fish are attracted to Shiny things. Then again, Дробитель is attracted to Shiny too, so I guess fish aren't all that special.

Выползки
- Purchased from a variety of Trade & General Goods and Fishing Supplies Merchants.
- Looted from some Ghouls and other Undead corpses.

Аквадинамическая блесна
Found by opening Проклятие Стенделя, a rare catch in Stendel's Pond, in Westfall. Not so much to be applied on your line as much as to be used as a tool to see where fish is located, this "lure" can be of some use when fishing especially quick fish. You're still better off using of the classics, though. Nothing beats a good old Attractor, take my word for it!

Яркая блесна
Purchased from a variety of Trade & General Goods and Fishing Supplies Merchants. Shinier than Блесна. Don't tell Дробитель or you'll be watching over your shoulder for a long, long time to come.

Кусеница
The ABSOLUTE RAREST lure in the game, and I am not exaggerating by even an iota. If you have this, know someone who has it, used to know someone who had it or SEEN IT at any given point in-game, you are among the very few who ever have. And I bet, until now, you had never realized your luck. It drops from the Гнилая нежить NPCs in Duskwood, albeit at a rate that makes Пепел Ал'ара seem common.

Аквадинамический магнит для рыбы
- Purchased at various Fishing Supplies merchants; they all hold no more than (1) at a time, so this is a very time-consuming method to acquire them.
- Can be crafted by Engineers at a skill of 150: Аквадинамический магнит для рыбы. Make yourself some Engineer friends! Ideally some that are willing to handle worms, because they do need to smack some live Выползки in metal casing. Not for the faint of heart.

Перьевая наживка
Cooked from Хрупкое крылышко through Рецепт: перьевая наживка. The recipe is obtained by exchanging 3 Награда гурмана at various Cooking Supplies vendors. The flying things you need to slay in order to obtain some of the ingredients are much, much too dangerous for your average Angler. Of course, any Angler makes friends with actual adventurers, so you could commission them to acquire some...

Заостренный рыболовный крючок
Found in Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, itself obtained from Outlands Fishing Daily Quests. A classic Angler's tool. You've got to be amazed at the fact that it can only be obtained this way. Who would've thought that bent metal hooks could be SO hard to craft?

Светлячок
Found by opening Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, obtained from Northrend Fishing Daily Quests. If a Яркая блесна and Выползки had a baby, this would be it. With the ultimate shiny coefficient (1.722, to be accurate) and the most meaty worm taste (I can testify), this is the ideal lure for your most touchy excursions. I advise you keep it close when attempting to lure out Скрытень из глубин, or when attempting to drag a Кракканон out of the depths. Or you can, like me, just hoard the thing and show it to impress people.

Термостойкая вращающаяся наживка
Can be crafted by Engineers at a skill of 510: Термостойкая вращающаяся наживка. Initially thought to be required to catch Осколочночешуйчатая мощь-рыба out of lava, it quickly became apparent that it did nothing another lure couldn't. It was a sad day for Anglers across the world, and all mourned with tears of blood when it was also found out that the Осколочночешуйчатая мощь-рыба was actually never in the game to begin with...

Королевский червяк
This meaty, tasty beast (yes, I have tasted it for science) is arguably one of the most impressive natural potential baits. This is the absolute best bait for you to get for yourself AND your catches, assuming you truly care about their well-being. Funnily enough, this fleshy piece of supreme vermin is acquired through...fishing. Use shiny lures to attract some of them, then upgrade your Angling by using these to acquire some of the biggest lunkers around. FOR GLORY!

Светлое пиво капитана Ромси
- Brewed by mixing a Мех дворфийского портера with a Кружка дворфийской медовухи! You, however, need to be Chef-enough (or know someone who is) to have learned Рецепт: светлое пиво капитана Ромси. The recipe is obtained by opening the reward containers from completing Northrend and Outlands Cooking Daily Quests as well as those from Fishing Daily Quests!
- Captain Rumsey is to be thanked for the existence of Ром Ромси and its darker and lighter counterparts, as well as the famed Ром Ромси "Черный ярлык"! Carry some around, and celebrate Rumsey's eternal, liquid glory!

Зелье Темноводья
This item, at times, can serve you greatly. Whether you have to delve into deep waters for exploration purposes or have to escape some smelly PvPer (yes, they are smelly), this is your best friend! It is brewed by Alchemists by combining 3xОскверненное масло together. As a fisherman, you can gather the Иглоспинка needed, bring it to an Alchemist of your choice and have heaps of the potions made. Plus, you transform into a Jinyu: what's not to love?

Зелье быстрого плавания
As redundancy alongside the Зелье Темноводья, this is yet another interesting Angler tool. It may be tailored for explorers more so than for Anglers, but it serves the same purpose, minus the Jinyu transformation. Eww. Jinyus. Available at an Alchemist near you: Зелье быстрого плавания.

Эликсир подводного дыхания
Breathing underwater is one of the most undervalued skills ever. You can peek at people, and they don't see you. It also enables a really interesting neverending loop of swimming fun: by breathing underwater for long periods of time, you can gather a lot of Удавник, which in turn can be used to craft MORE Эликсир подводного дыхания, which in turn enable even MORE gathering of Удавник! You see where I'm going with this? I thought so. Available at an Alchemist near you: Эликсир подводного дыхания.

Сильный эликсир подводного дыхания
Meant for the most hardcore of waterbreathers out there, this potion gives you gills. You can go and have a talk with some of the most remote fish in Azerothian oceans and lakes, all the while enjoying the scenery. The biggest downside to this potion is the necessity for you to get your hands on some very unusual...Лимфа нежити. If you've some silver to pay an actual adventurer to gather it, he might do it for you... Available at an Alchemist near you: Сильный эликсир подводного дыхания.

Дренорский эликсир подводного дыхания
Say hello to your new best friend. You've been meaning to explore the depths of the Great Sea, yes? Stomp hard on some Мясо рыбы-сабли to extract some Масло из рыбы-сабли, and brew it with some fermented Мясо глубинного угря-мешкорота. I promise you it'll taste good. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Totally.

Эликсир хождения по воде
With the advent of the Плот рыболова and the ability for a lot of classes to walk on water by virtue of their skills, this item has fallen out of fashion dramatically. I would however venture to say that you should always be carrying some around, if only to share with people you meet during your travels. You are, after all, an Angler, and I'll be damned if an Angler can be seen without proper tools! This is generally obtained through the completion of Fishing Daily Quests, but Alchemists can also brew them in a pinch if you're in a hurry: Эликсир хождения по воде.

Дренорский эликсир хождения по воде
If you, like me, have been wondering what you're meant to do with an overflowing stash of Мясо рыбы-сабли, this right here might be your solution. Squeeze the flesh into Масло из рыбы-сабли, gather up some Мясо слепого озерного осетра and find a friendly alchemist that likes to pretend that shaking bottles is the same as doing science, and he'll get you some of these. They can serve you well.

Зелье морских туманов
With new continents arrive new angling must-haves, and among these a unique brand of Water Walking apparatus. Tired of having your feet wet by the surface of the Stranglethorn's algae-ridden coasts? Worry not, for this new concoction will let you levitate. This misty brew can be purchased from any alchemist near you! Or, you know, you can just use your Плот рыболова.

PS: You can also jump off mountains while under the effect of this hard-hitting drink. I rate it 5/7 with rice, would recommend.

The Tertiary Essentials: Miscellaneous Angling Apparatusdrinkables

Заостренное копье клыкарра
A reminder of older times, when your ability to catch fish was deemed worthy of respect, as opposed to worthy of derision. This spear, of the most typical Tuskarr craft, is a fun, effective way to enhance the ornamental value of your favorite fishing spot. Plant it in the ground, and behold the raw might of a huge, impaled fish. Quite raw indeed. Plus, it's inspiring enough to better your fishing ability and that of nearby anglers!
If you want to get your hands on one of these antiques, just get to work with Рыболовы and their Daily Quests! It'll take a bit, but...you'll be going there anyway, if you're serious about your fishing!

Ящик для рыболовной снасти мастера приманки
One of the best news since the advent of the line-on-a-wooden-twig, this massive Engineer-produced Tackle Box will allow you to store fish like never before. Starting at level 475, Engineers can work on making you one of these: Ящик для рыболовной снасти мастера приманки. If you're serious about your Angling, you may need two of them to keep at all times, and another seven for your bank.

DISCLAIMER: Those who would advocate the use of an Модернизированный холодильник are not Anglers, they are Cooks. Be wary of them.

Плот рыболова
A tool of amazing importance and relevance to serious Anglers, this Raft can be purchased from Nat Pagle (the profiteering swine!) after attaining the "Revered" status with Рыболовы. This - is - GLORIOUS! PADDLE ON, BRETHREN!

Древний пандаренский талисман рыболова
Acquired after speaking to the elusive, lonely Призрачный пандарен-рыбак. This item makes your Pandarian fishing excursions a LOT more fruitful! Or fishful. Or something. Once the next expansion rolls around, this will be largely obsolete, but it'll always be worth keeping as a memento!

Крючок мастера-рыболова
One of the two exclusive rewards for the First Place winner of the . You become a fish. You swim fast. You're cool. You're SO cool you can even dual-wield fish

Лазурный шелковый пояс
A little known belt with invaluable benefits for those who, like me, love to explore some of the more remote oceanic areas in search of hidden clams, perhaps containing a Золотая жемчужина or two... Plus, if you fall off your raft, it can help get you back on it faster. Or if a shark is chasing you. Or something. Be creative.

Рыбацкие перчатки
Despite not providing you with any Fishing-related buff whatsoever, this item has the merit of making you look cool. It's dark(ish), and it's for Fishermen. Since we can't get Angler's Gloves, we'll settle for these. Acquired through the completion of Берегись Рифогрыза! for the Horde!
Alliance players instead get the rare Пояс рыболова from БЕРЕГИСЬ РИФОГРЫЗА!! Hardcore Anglers who can wear Leather CAN, if they so desire, transfer back and forth to acquire both... Quite the hardcoreness, if you ask me!

Стул рыболова
- Acquired by giving the unique 25-digit Loot Card Code to Ландро Дальнострел. This is the oldest bum-resting furniture piece known to Anglers.
- Acquired by browsing the Black Market and bidding incredibly high amounts of gold when it is listed.

Рыбацкий стул Ната
Acquired by becoming Nat Pagle's Best Friend. This is a direct mimic of the aforementioned original Стул рыболова. For all we know, maybe Nat designed that one, hm?

Гриб-стул
Purchased from Айла Темная Буря after devoting weeks of grinding to the Molten Front daily quests from the Cataclysm era. This is a more cushy chair than the other two, but it lacks in the beverage-holding department. Watch your lagers!

Водяной самоцвет
Every hour, you can immerse yourself in the reality of a fish by going full-on Jinyu mode and breathe underwater. It's a convenient little item, this one, but you've got to earn it: Сан Охотник Прилива is the only creature on which you can find it. If you slay it like the adventurer you're not, YOU TOO could be more than a man!

Рыбацкий тотем
I don't know why anyone would bother fishing for only two minutes, but if you were so inclined, getting your hands on this item may be a goal to shoot for. Become a good friend to Акуле Речной Рог, give him 50 Фрагмент древнего тотема, and the useless bauble is yours.

Маяк Корбина
Angling is all about finding shiny baubles (as you well know if you've read this far), and this is but the reflection of angling in the realm of thievery. Being deemed a helpful friend by Корбин will give you the right to acquire yet another shiny bauble to find even more shiny baubles, given that you're willing to exchange 50 Блестящая побрякушка for them.

Рубашка из нечистых водорослей
One of the most problematic issues facing Anglers across Azeroth and time itself is smell. The skin of a human, or an elf, or even that of a Tauren, has a peculiar scent to it that repels even the most tolerant of fish. In order to manage this unbidden crisis of the soul, getting a new shirt is mandatory. If you wish to do so, giving 50 Нечистая водоросль to Бесс after becoming good friends is the next step in your journey. May you smell ever like algae!

Свистулька мореплавателя
In order to match the potency of the renowned Свисток ярмарки Новолуния, an Angler must submit themselves, once more, to the will of Галисса Солнечная Роса and give her 25 Острозуб Новолуния in exchange for one of these. Beware: this whistle was never meant to be used as a means of attracting fish and crabs, but rather meant to discourage mere fishermen from encroaching on your chosen angling location. You will no doubt end up alone if you abuse this toy, which is for the better. The less people, the less noise, the more fish.

Крючок мастера-рыболоваFishing Treasures: One - More - Cast...or Not.Shinies and Non-ShiniescompletelyЗолотое этерниевое кольцо

Одно кольцо
This little shiny, reminiscent of some world-treading Hobbit and his adventures, is one of the oldest Fishing-related shiny in the game! It can be caught in a LOT of areas, all of which are fairly low level. Orgrimmar, Stormwind City, Ironforge, Loch Modan, The Wailing Caverns, etc. Fishing your Capital Cities is probably your best bet. You'll never quite know whether yours is a forgery, but...you can always pretend it's as real as my own, eh?

Второе кольцо
Sauron's lost ring was apparently found by Старина Барло and shoved in some Мешок рыбацких сокровищ or another...and you'll be the luckiest non-Hobbit bastard if you find it within a year of gathering Crocolisks for that senile Angler. Do all your Outlands Fishing Dailies, and one day you might come to own this little beauty. And then you can retire, stand near a lake and give out Daily Quests, too.

Пятое кольцо
Nobody will ever know what happened with the 3 and 4 Rings, but I can surely tell you where to find that which ATE them. Go see Марсия Чейз, complete her Fishing Dailies, open up your Мешок рыбацких сокровищ and PRAY you find a Маленький титановый ящичек. Once you find THAT, open it and PRAY you see some purple text. Once you SEE purple text, you then PRAY AGAIN that the purple text says "The 5 Ring". Then, you can guarantee that you've got what you wanted. But you probably didn't, so keep fishing! You might even grow to like the darn grind, you wicked you.

Потерянное кольцо
Much like the aforementioned Пятое кольцо, it is found in Маленький титановый ящичек, albeit on a MUCH more common basis. Now if you want to go REALLY Hardcore, you try to get an Потерянное кольцо of each possible Affix roll. Ayep!

Обручальное кольцо Стенделя
Much like some previously mentioned items in other sections, this is found by gutting up a Проклятие Стенделя and digging through its entrails! With your bare fingers, mind you, because it's really tiny, and surely you would not want to miss it by not looking exhaustively enough. Oh, and someone tells me it's only found in Westfall, in Stendel's Pond.

Перстень ужасного пирата
Yet another Angler-desired item coming from the famed . This ring may not be as rare as some other ones, since you can get it for no more than the second place, but it's definitely on your "DO-WANT" list, and not even because it's a Heirloom. Just because it's an Angling item. Get it, polish it, stash it and you'll be one step closer to a full collection!

Забытое ожерелье
Much like the Потерянное кольцо, this is found in some of the excessively rare Маленький титановый ящичек, and much like the Потерянное кольцо, collecting one of each affix would make you, by far, the most Hardcore Angler ever. Ever...ever.

Золотое обручальное кольцо
Cheap and straightforward, this is your baseline "Look at me, I FISH" item. It's unsurprisingly found in bags given to you by completing daily quests for Старина Барло in the Outlands!

Цельный самоцвет бури
First of many Stormjewels, this one is known for its solidity. It's tough, it's sturdy, it's solid. Very solid. Yeah. It can be found in the scarcely found Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, and rarely in a Маленький титановый ящичек. I swear, it's really solid

Прочный самоцвет бури
Second of six Stormjewels, this one is known for its rigidity. It's straight, unbending and mule-headed. Nobody can straighten your blades like this guy, so if you feel both lucky AND blade-straightening, open up some Мешок рыбацких сокровищ!

Искрящийся самоцвет бури
Last of the blue Stormjewels, this is the type of gem you put in your wine to turn it into champagne. It doesn't give enough Spirit to brew strong alcohol, but it's probably fit to mix with Бутылка марочного даларанского красного for the perfect wine.

Рельефный самоцвет бури
First of three red Stormjewels, this thickly-hued crimson gem is said to increase your muscular mass by...a lot. Because it's counter-indicated for Gnomes, I never tried it, but I wouldn't doubt the claim now that I think back on Nat Pagle's imposing musculature. Much like the blue jewels, this can be found in a Мешок рыбацких сокровищ or Маленький титановый ящичек!

Хрупкий самоцвет бури
Another red Stormjewel, this one is fragile. Really, really fragile. I broke six before I could stash one, and I'm soft alright. If you get one of these, I advise you squeeze it between stacks and stacks of Шерстяная ткань. Just saying. I wouldn't risk having to open a hundred more Мешок рыбацких сокровищ!

Сверкающий самоцвет бури
Third red Stormjewel, and BOY DOES THAT THING SHINE. WOOHOO! So shiny. Marcia Chase almost took back the damned thing when I pulled it out, suggesting that she had "given me the wrong Мешок рыбацких сокровищ". I smacked her on the head fiercely and went off with my booty. I think she's meshing with Goblins or something.

Глаз Моря
First of all the Fishing-related gems implemented in the game, and it used to be REALLY popular because of the value given to "+15 Stamina" gems back in Burning Crusade. The only equivalent was the Цельный неземной сапфир, and it was mostly reserved to high end raiders initially. To get this shiny memento, hit up Старина Барло and complete his quests every day! It's bound to show up, as it's a lot more common than the damned Stormjewels.

Слеза Сирены
Although it can be contained in Молодой темноводный моллюск or purchased for the moderate cost of 100 x Моллюск Зимних Плавников, I would still put this in the category of Angler-related shinies. It can be found by opening Marcia Chase's Мешок рыбацких сокровищ. It's nothing special, but it's also mandatory for a full collection, aye? Do your Northrend Daily Quests! It's not as though you wouldn't otherwise, but...yeah.

Повергатель
And so it came to pass that the Legendary Blade, Испепелитель was never, ever found. I suspect Nat Pagle may have something to do with this, but we will never know. Until the blade is found again, we have her little sister, the Dustbringer. She is a marvelous piece of metal, crimson and emanating power beyond this world! To catch her, simply head to Northrend, and cast away. Good luck. You may be there for, quite literally, years. It is one of the rarest fishing items ever put in the game, and I suspect it will remain so for a long, long time to come. Oh, how many fishermen put this on the Auction House for a few pennies...

Мешок морских звезд
Directly from the depths of Vash'jir, these cute wannabe ninja stars are quite comforting in the way they stick to you. It's like a warm, wet, squishy feeling of awesome all over the face! You may notice that if you keep them in their bag for too long, they become agitated. If they become TOO agitated, they escape on their own and, believe me or don't, they will try to smudge all their starfish muckiness all over your fishing gear! So throw them well, and throw them often, or you may end up with a very, very rusty pole... To obtain these lovelies, just...scratch a TCG Loot Card or two... ( *cry* )

Разбитая бутылка вина
You ever wonder what Goblins do in their spare time, hm? Oh, I know, they pollute, they destroy, they salvage, they ruin, they smell. But this little thing here gives you a hint into what they do in their free time: they booze and brawl. That's right. Caught in the nasty Sludge Fens waters, this is a remnant of a fight gone wrong. Or right, depends which perspective you're taking. Either way, beware when handling it: it cuts!

Странная деталь мотора
Fished in Steam Pump Flotsam in the polluted waters of Zangarmarsh, this Engineering marvel will give you bragging rights among friends, family and anglers! It will prove dedication, because the acquisition of this thing doesn't come easy. Steam Pump Flotsam doesn't show up all that often, since you are forced to fish up other pools to get rid of the excess Зангарский спороус and other pest clogging up shore space. There is a chance, once the shores are cleared, that some Naga debris will gather up in a neat little pool of garbage, in which you may find this engine.

WARNING: Members of the Horde will only ever find Сломанная деталь мотора, because their Engineers cannot comprehend the amazing nature of this piece of technology.
WARNING #2: Members of the Alliance will never find a Сломанная деталь мотора unless they manage to get a Horde Angler to sell them one. Good luck with that!

Золоточешуйная рыбка-монетка
Fishing in ANY Fishing School in the Outlands gives you a chance to strike this beautiful shining non-shiny. Despite its absolute uselessness as far as culinary feats are concerned, it is prized due to its resale potential. A lot of Draenei and Orcs in the Outlands decorate their huts and/or spaceships with these trophies. In fact, it is said that the more Золоточешуйная рыбка-монетка one's house contains as decoration, the more luck will be brought to the dwellers of that house. It is, of course, mere superstition, for I have well over nine thousand of them hanging on my walls but have yet to find a 32-фунтовый лосось.

Collector value? High! Get a stack of them or you're no real Angler, you hear me!?

Окровавленная тюремная заточка
A prisoner's grim, old best friend. And another prisoner's worst enemy ever. Fished from the waters right outside the Violet Hold, this weapon is not the only one of its kind. One can only shudder at the amount of...bloodied victims.

Необычный компас
Found in one of Marcia's Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, this widget was probably put together by some of the High Tinker's undergraduates and hidden away as far as possible when it was realized to be what it was. It is, by far, one of the most mystifying objects known to me. It makes me dizzy, and then I get the vague feeling that the compass is trying to tell me something. Maybe if I keep spinning it...

Узорчатая пивная кружка
This lovely tankard, sometimes found in Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, is to be used as a carrying container for your liters and liters of Светлое пиво капитана Ромси. At least in theory. Sadly, and Nat Pagle pointed this out at length in the first part of his "Продвинутая рыбалка" Ната Пэгла, you cannot both hold the stein AND a fishing pole at once, forcing you to give up the former to keep casting your line. Either way, it does have a classy, silver polish.

Старинные серебряные запонки
Another silvery item found in Мешок рыбацких сокровищ. Since we, as Anglers, have no alternate Wrist-covering gear, this seems like the only logical choice. I personally don't feel too comfortable walking around with such valuables, especially when I'm visiting some of the Goblin towns a lot, but you go ahead. Feel free to wear them. But don't complain if someone "borrows" them without your consent, will you?

Острый как бритва разделочный нож
If you've ever been on a fishing trip and had to gut one of your catches to delve its entrails in the hopes of finding some specific, I don't know, Обручальное кольцо Стенделя, then you probably wished you had a fillet knife with you. So get your own today! Slave away for the old man, and get yourself a lucky Мешок рыбацких сокровищ containing your coveted fishingware!

Поношенная тропическая шляпа
If you're interested in the newest awful fashion trends, I suspect Marcia Chase might be just the woman for you. She'll not so subtly slip some of her obvious failed creations in her Мешок рыбацких сокровищ. This is a piece of art in and of itself: leopard skin patched onto a classic Шляпа наставника. Wonderful. Yo, Nat, we got an artist over here.

Трость с алмазным набалдашником
Another one of Marcia Chase's creations, which she also distributes in her plentiful Мешок рыбацких сокровищ. She may think people would not see through her ploy, but she is attempting to make a profit by flipping some armaments that Blacksmiths actually work for: Боевой посох. She slaps some rubbish, Треснувший алмаз on it and calls it a day. I see through your game, Marcia, and I will NOT remain silent about it!

Рыболовный журнал Ната
Written on waterproof paper and bound in rough Кракканон leather, this booklet contains heaps of information put down by the Master himself. It allows fishermen to bypass the hard, weathering training usually forced upon Anglers. The book can be purchased for after becoming a Friend of Nat Pagle!
I sometimes find dubious the notion that Nat would allow such childish shortcuts to exist, but I then realize that not everyone has the self-control and willpower that we do. A fisherman friend is still better than a non-fisherman friend.
Note: Real Anglers do NOT purchase this from Nat Pagle himself, they crush Кракканон scales until the damned beast throws one up.

Ведро Проглота
Ever heard the saying "Open a Bucket, Find a Crocolisk"? No? I thought so. Well, it's a new saying, and it's very fitting for Anglers. By completing the Кроколиски в городе quest, you get a bag that might just contain this little guy. He has three brothers that also live in buckets, and you may get THOSE as well! Chuck is by far the most aggressive, though.

Ведро с Зубастиком
Chuck's first brother, Toothy has a bit of a dental problem. Some believe it is due to a neurotic problem triggered by a life lived in a narrow, dark bucket, leading the poor thing to chew on anything and everything. Others, and that includes me, think it's just a matter of intra-species variation. This seems to be the most...relevant hypothesis. Complete your Кроколиски в городе daily from Старина Барло, and maybe you'll get this little guy.

Ведро Ворчуна
Unable to stop growling like a little threatened puppy, this brother of Проглот simply can't stand still. The good thing is that it sounds a lot more threatening than it actually is, so fear not if, by some chance, you hear a constant, squeaky animal growl when opening your Мешок рыбацких сокровищ!

Ведро со смердыхом
Last of the Croc-Quatuor, Смердых is the smelliest. The roar of this guy isn't feared so much because it sounds scary but rather because it means it will open its tiny, Crocolisk maw, releasing in the process a nauseating breath. This is as close to a non-Dragonkin Breath Attack as you'll ever get. Fear not, of course, if your Мешок рыбацких сокровищ is giving off weird odors... You always smell like fish anyway, so what's the big deal?

Гигантская сточная крыса
Fished up from the waters of the Dalaran Underbelly, this little beast is surprisingly a lot cuddlier than you would think! Bigger than his fellow kin, he also seems to have a much more dog-like attitude: on command, he will attack, bite, roll over, and even FETCH! I think he might've eaten one too many of the Волшебный пожиратель fish in the sewer waters...

Шкатулка с волшебным речным раком
As you probably know, Мистер Пинчи is a very rare catch found in Highland Fishing Pools in Terokkar Forest, in Outlands. More rare even is when you rub the bugger's lobster belly and he grants you a wish, whereby he promises to assist you in your Pet Battle endeavors! The Волшебный речной рак might not be Mr.Pinchy himself, but it surely is as close a relative as you'll find. Smaller, faster, and more readily available! All you need to do is spend days in Terokkar casting away at the pools until the Lord of Lobsters appears!

Морской пони
With the establishment of an official ground for the Darkmoon Faire occurred one of the most unusual events in Angling history. An absolutely massive migration of Дикий морской конек was denoted for a time, leading to the advent of a million millions little Sea Ponies floating around! Take my word for it: when you can't get into the Darkmoon Faire, it's a Sea Horse haven! When the Darkmoon Faire opens up its doors however, they all leave due to the noise generated by Barrel-Shooting Taurens, Steam Tonk-controlling Gnomes, and Cannon-Launching Dwarves, as you can imagine. They mistakenly leave behind some of their young, and it is during that time that they are most ripe for the catching! CAST AWAY! GET THEM ALL! COLLECT ALL THE PONIES!

Прибрежный ползун
Slipping surreptitiously inside your Fishing Daily Сумка с блестяшками and Мешок рыбацких сокровищ, these little crustaceans make for very, very tasty meals. Assuming you opt NOT to eat them and surrender Крабовое мясо for the sake of keeping a pet around, know that they are high maintenance pets: they eat of just about anything, but have a slight overeating problem. Within a day, I had already gone through a hundred Старомодное лакомство для питомцев от Папаши Хюммеля... Beware, 'ts all I'm sayin'!

Маленькая золотая рыбка
Nothing makes a child happier than having a goldfish of their own! Well, some things do, but it's never as AWESOME! If you want to make the gift of bubble-wrapped goldfish, you'll need to complete some daily quests for Рыболовы until you're "Honored" with them. If you feel lazy, however, Рыбаська is a semi-decent alternative. But don't you DARE call yourself an Angler if you go that route. Don't - you - dare...

Синий карпик
With the re-discovery of Pandaria came a plethora of new discoveries, the first of which, for me, was the existence of...colored carps. Now I have found my fair share of the Золотистый карп, so much so that I'm tired of them, but once in a while you'll stumble upon some more exotic ones. This azure specimen is best found in the waters of the Timeless Isle as of right now. It used to be more plentiful in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, but I wouldn't venture there, what with all that transpired in recent times... I'm not a big fan of angry Sha and...other stuff, though. Y'know? But hey, that's your call. I play it safe.

Красный карпик
Speaking of exotic carps, it'd be hard not to mention the crimson glory that is this specimen! Found in Townlong Steppes waters, most easily near the Niuzao temple, they seem to swim alongside some of the blue carps, albeit never quite "together"! Funny enough, the Redbelly Mandarin schools don't let the red carps in, but they'll always take the blue ones in! You want red carps? Open water's your best bet. You want blue carps? Fish those Redbelly Mandarin schools!

Зеленый карпик
First time I saw it, I thought it was just a big pile of algae. And then I realized it was jiggly and agitated! A GREEN CARP!? I later realized that they were the most common of the carps, because the areas they inhabit are largely overfished. The Jade Forest, Krasarang Wilds and Valley of the Four Winds are some of the most popular areas for...fishermen. Nat only knows if they can appreciate the value of this green swimmer, but I doubt it...

DISCLAIMER: Do NOT cook this fish. It makes the absolute worst Подрумяненная соленая рыба EVER.

Белый карпик
Last and most prized of the exotic carps, this ivory beauty lives in a lot of rarely visited Coastal areas. Coastal Dread Wastes (I know right!?), Jade Forest and Krasarang Wilds! The best area to find it though is in the Kun-Lai Summit, in the Shado-Pan Monastery waters! It is a nearly enclosed space, and so the carps are mostly...prisoners of a sort. You will be fishing for a long time no matter what, so you might as well pick a restful area, hm? Nothing says restful like a Monastery. Especially with a Стул рыболова.

Сухопутная акула
If you have explored the wilderness of Draenor, you might've, as a proud Angler, fished up all the schools you came across. In doing so, assuming you already made of Nat Pagle one of your garrison companions, you might've picked up some of the larger fish out there: LUNKERS! Lunkers can be exchanged for Nat Pagle's Lucky Coins. And Nat Pagle will take those coins and exchange them for...stuff of indeterminate value. The Land Shark is one such thing. Rumors say there are tornadoes out there filled with Land Sharks...

Тюлень
Azeroth has a very unique sea fauna, to say the least! Between Makruras (or, Makinni, if you prefer), Nagas, Hydras and Murlocs, you're probably covered in the oddness department. But you haven't seen weird until you've seen lion seals! The most famous of them all, Пес, is the underwhelming Anglers mascot. You can get one of his kin (offspring, perhaps?) by giving Nat Pagle FIFTY of his own Счастливая монетка Ната. Could he have been breeding Пес with some unknown, female lion seal..?

Пузырь Буль-буля
There was an ongoing debate in the Angler community about the existence of a blue-striped orange fish roaming the waters around the Darkmoon Island. This fish, called a Blorp, is named after the sound it makes when it leaps out of the water. In the night, if you listen carefully, you can hear a soft, muffled "Blorp, Blorp, Blorp" out in the distance from the Darkmoon Island docks. The sound haunts me to this day. Only recently did Галисса Солнечная Роса find a way to catch them, and she's selling specimens in exchange for 50 x Острозуб Новолуния. So get to Angling, boys and girls: fish up the Darkmoon waters, and trade that junk for a glorious Blorp specimen.

PS: Some fishermen claim that "Blorp" isn't the species' name but rather the name of an individual specimen. Truth is that all Blorps are named "Blorp". It is known.

Светящаяся ракушка
So you've heard about the existence of the mythical, ghastly Призрачный Краб in Vash'jir? It turns out that the uniqueness of the beast was overplayed: Галисса Солнечная Роса has, it seems, an inexhaustible number of its offspring, and she's trading them away in exchange for 100 x Острозуб Новолуния. The better question though, and I think you must be asking the same question, is WHAT she bred the original Crawler with? And how did it not riot?

Призрачная акула
In memory of the decimation of the Левая акула, Илиссия Водная stocked up on the only right shark: the invisible one. Many an Angler has been caught unprepared by these sea beasts and lost a leg, an arm, or a hook. I would swiftly exchange 50 Расколотые чары for the creature, but I would lock it as far as away from my apparatus as is possible. Who would have thought one would mistrust a finned pet more than one despised Буль-буль. Well, it has come to pass.

Маленький скат-хвостокол
A little bit of a bubbly ray
Makes a bubbly bit of a pretty day,
Fifty Утопленная мана, Кудесник Маргосс
Lays down the law, like a boss

Кроха
There's an awful lot of trash on Margoss's island, which I assume is why he deemed it worthwhile to get a pet raccoon. You can see the critter digging through the heaps of garbage, and giving Кудесник Маргосс fifty Утопленная мана will net you a specimen. Don't worry: you can also feed it with trash. That's just the thing to do.

Морская черепаха
Ah, the famed Turtle. He who doesn't know the Turtle is unworthy of the Turtle. The Turtles are the backbone of our universe. We stand on their backs. Exiled daughters of Шэнь-Цзынь Су, Sea Turtles roam the world of Azeroth in search, not of answers, but of anglers. Anglers worthy of them. Dedicated anglers are distinguished by the ease with which they acquire their faithful Turtle. Casting your line in any Pandarian, Cataclysmic or Northrendish Fishing Pool will give you a chance to fish up this awe-inspiring, friendly, shell-protected guardian of the oceans. For the banal fishermen, those who have not yet seen the true nature of Angling, this wonderful creature has disdain.

It rewards dedication above all else. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of pounds of bait will be used...but one day, you will be worthy.

Поводья лазурного водного долгонога
As a polar opposite to the magnificent beast mentioned above, this Water Strider is a testament to patience, not dedication. On a daily basis, you can visit Рыболовы and complete quests for them, eventually attaining a level of fame among them high enough to be allowed to purchase this mount, assuming you do have the required gold (!). Sadly, and this is regrettable, the Water Strider does not like being used as a Raft, and although it walks on water, you will not be able to cast your line from its back. I don't think you'd want to, anyway, for fear of entangling your line with its long, clumsy legs.

Поводья багрового водного долгонога
Ha, ha! You thought Water Striders only existed in ONE color? Me too, but I was wrong. Nat Pagle has been holding on to these specimens, which you can acquire if you'd like for the moderate effort of...getting 100 Lunkers from Draenorian (Draenic?) schools, turning them in for Lucky Coins, and then exchanging A HUNDRED of those for a Crimson Strider! I wouldn't be surprised if somebody eventually bred both the Crimson and Azure Striders into a...Purple one.

Верховая черепаха
This is the lazy Angler's alternative to the much more valuable Sea Turtle. Truth is that it's uglier, greener and more soft-shelled than its blue counterpart. Plus, you actually have to WORK for the former. I'm not jealous of anyone with this Turtle, I'm not. Not one bit. I'm not jealous that you actually need to have a Loot Code worth a pretty penny from the WoWTCG loot cards, redeem it online and turn in the resulting code to Ландро Дальнострел, and that there's only a limited amount of them out there.

I'm not jealous, because here's a secret... This turtle can be dropped by both Обитатель ледяных пещер (Horde) and Обитатель пещер Зашедшей Луны (Alliance) from garrison waters!

Eat that, pay-to-Turtlers!

Скат Темной воды
In your travels, you undoubtedly will visit the docks of the Остров Новолуния in a futile attempt to acquire a Рыбацкая шляпа Новолуния. You may never find the headwear, but you will fill up countless bags with thousands upon thousands of Острозуб Новолуния. For the small amount (and really, it is a small amount) of 500 Острозуб Новолуния, the elegant Галисса Солнечная Роса will entrust you with the care of this strange manta ray.

You will be tempted to merely purchase Острозуб Новолуния from the Auction House instead of fishing it, but I must warn you against this first step on the slippery slope of sloppiness. Fish them out yourself, or you can't call yourself an Angler!

Морской донный падальщик
While Conjurer Margoss may deserve very little respect for sitting on his arse all day, none can deny the quality of his goods. He is endowed with some of the most precious and coveted baubles an Angler could ask for, among which a gigantic bottom-feeder. How he managed to extract them from the depths of the Great Sea remains a mystery, but regardless, one must acquire a specimen! In the process of achieving greatness (and friendship with Кудесник Маргосс, you shall bear the burden you claimed as you titled yourself Angler and fish out 100 Утопленная мана in exchange for this beauty.

Прудовый крапивник
If, like many an Angler, you ~~are intimidated by~~ cannot be bothered wasting your time to slay Косумот Алчущий for a jellyfish-looking mount, then I come bearing relieving news: in the foul waters of Argus, one may find, among the infinitely worthless piles of rubbish and debris, a real big jellyfish. You will of course need to dedicate hours of your life to the endeavor of finding the eerie creature, but make no mistake: after a sufficient amount of time, no longer will you be reeling in rocks and fins and scales and tangled fishing lines, but instead the peculiar tentacular beast will manifest itself and let you ride it.

It's quite a comfortable seat, really.

Скат Великого моря
"Once a pup, I'm now a ray
I roam and wait, every day
For the anglers to come and play
To find me now, here I dare say:
What one must do, without delay
Is throw their line in ocean gray
Or cast their pole adjacent bay
Or lake or town, that is to say
I'm everywhere, so fish away
In the waters of BFA."
— Volume IX, Enarka's Poem Collections

Translation: Just fish in any of the waters in Battle for Azeroth zones. Good luck!

Хрустоспин-бегун
Dost thou enjoyeth the daily grindeth of half-underwaterth zoneths?
If thou enjoeth ith, completeth Подводный узурпатор, and thou dost shall thus geth this crabth.

Солоноводный морской конек
If for whatever reason the fancy strikes you, hopping on Island Expeditions will yield Дублон мореплавателя. If you get 500 of these little shinies, you may trade them for such a specimen. Not the most compelling of angling endeavors, but as my grandfather said: a seahorse is a seahorse is a seahorse, unless it's not.

Медуза-волнолов
Adventure away, anglers, into Island Expeditions! At random this reward may be bestowed upon you. Don't count on it, but...who knows? By adopting the dedication of legendary anglers, you may find it in you to sweat away at Critterslaying and come away with a Surf Jelly!

Conclusion!PROUDLYeveryou need to fish for 30 years or catch every fish in the sea to become a master fisherman...Elsanglin

Great guide! Just as I thought no one could teach me anything more about Рыбная ловля, I happen upon this beauty. Very well done. Unlocked some great memories for me.

Although the tooltip for Шляпа Ната says it requires "Nat Pagle - Honored", and you list it as "Anglers - Exalted", it is in fact only available once you have made Нат Пэгл your Best Friend, requiring a great deal of Летающий тигровый гурами, Мимикрирующий осьминог, and Самец иглоспинки, none of which are mentioned in your guide as best as I can see.

Although an Angler would probably never stoop to using a Рыболовный журнал Ната, I still feel it should be awarded a line or two in your guide? It doesn't only drop from Krakanon as the tooltip says; it can also be purchased once Nat is your Best Friend.

Being of such huge scope, your guide could really benefit from some more formatting imo; as example: Some of your tabs are so huge, that the reader actually miss the sub-tabs. I personally missed the Hats and Lines/Chants section of the first couple of reads because the Poles section is so huge.

With very little effort you can "nest" your tabs inside eachother making this guide much easier to read (imo), like I have done in my Arcane Mage Guide.

Example:

tab 1: Fishing Gear
sub-tab 1: Poles
sub-tab 2: Hats
sub-tab 3: Lures
sub-tab 4: Consumables
sub-tab 5: Misc

tab 2: Fish

sub-tab 1: Rares
sub-tab 2: Bloated
sub-tab 3: Weapons
sub-tab 4: "Junk"
sub-sub-tab 1: Gems
sub-sub-tab 2: Pets
sub-sub-tab 3: Mounts

tab 3: Fishing events

sub-tab 1: Tournament
sub-tab 2: Krakanon

A tip for nesting tabs (I had loads of issues with this in the beginning as well) is to make your structure first; make your tabs code, followed by your tab codes and end the entire thing like you do now. Then within a single tab, you make your new tabs code with relevant tab codes, close them all. Rinse and repeat. You will get used to it :-)

Also if you are really OCD about this stuff like me, you could include a list of which pools you find where, and some notes of the extra stuff. Like the Water from the pools in Nagrand, the Неустойчивый огонь/Неустойчивая вода from Cata pools, the extra fish you almost always get from northrend pools and so on.

Edit: Just wanted to request Sticky on this, when I saw that it already is: A fine testament to the effort put into this :-)

Awesome, found some items I didn't know existed and got me back on the anglers path, I had slipped into being a cook.

Very Nice! Enjoy the humorous tone and the wealth of good info; I agree with Prosecutus - Getting bookmarked right next to El for reference when I need it :D

Комментарий от Tantrevalles

What a wonderful guide! Informative and entertaining, and charming as all get out.

The only thing I can add to this is to recommend that new characters obtain their very first fishing pole by heading off to Azuremyst Isle as soon as they reach level 5 so they can can complete Деликатесный красный луциан. There's something extra angle-y about making one's first regular cast with a fishing pole that one received as a reward rather than as a mundane purchase at the nearest dock.

Happy angling!

Hello dear guide creator :)

I actually created and worked out my wowhead account just to be finally able to write comment of how much I LOVE this guide. Funny, informative, with everything what an Angler should know!

I want to thank you from all heart for that! :)

Комментарий от bmcadoo07

Loved the guide!

Комментарий от mishii

Ah, this guide is amazing. I'm slowly working my way through the achievements for professions, and my collection of STUFF, and this is a perfect guide for my fishing endeavors. Your tone in this guide had me laughing and giggling, looking forward to progressing my collections!

5 STARS!

I happen to be making a Fishing Achievements guide, and was wondering if I could borrow some of the info in your tables for the Rare Fish and the Weighted fish? Those map links are awesome (how did you do those?). I'll credit you for you and your guide for the data of course! :)

Комментарий от Dakstone

I stumbled across this guide while trying to be a fisherman, and it showed me the error in my ways. I have since created a character dedicated to becoming a true angler. I write this right after achieving Zen Master Fisherman at level 49 and though I have no love for the gnomes, or the alliance in general (except Worgen, they are just so great which is an oxymoron as I am Forsaken) I thank you for all the information you have gathered here, you have changed my heart.

Комментарий от Fixwaffle

I really enjoyed this guide. It was well written and fun to read. So long and thanks for all the fish ;)

Комментарий от 1416511

It seemed harder to find this guide over some of the other fishing guides but I always make the effort to read this one as its definitely an angling guide by anglers for anglers! Great Read!

Комментарий от 964839

For you Fashonable Anglers out there, I've put together some good looking outfits for you!

Blue set to match Nat's Drinking Hat and the Boots of the Bay
A set based entirely around that silly, wiggly squid hat (because I am SO IN LOVE WITH IT.)

I tried to stick to Cloth so everyone can wear them, though there are probably some better matches in the other types.

Комментарий от Aliqsander

very helpful and funny guide :)

Водяной самоцвет would be a nice Item to mention too i think (dropped by Rare Mob Сан Охотник Прилива next to the Shrine of the two Moons)
and
Поводья багрового водного долгонога is the new mount sold by Nat in your Garrison for 100xСчастливая монетка Ната
and
Сухопутная акула & Тюлень are the new pets for 50xСчастливая монетка Ната each

Комментарий от Rhacius

I appreciate the humor, but it makes this hard to read. Would have preferred it to be a bit more to the point and condensed.

I'm swooning all over this guide right now! I just came back to WoW since WotLK, and can't wait to catch up on my fishing! W00T!

Комментарий от jonnypasta

About Королевский червяк:

Funnily enough, this fleshy piece of supreme vermin is acquired through...fishing. Use shiny lures to attract some of them, then upgrade your Angling by using these to acquire some of the biggest lunkers around.

Is it true? Because I couldn't find any other prove that it works this way, plus I wasn't able to fish any worms this way.

Комментарий от 1556634

Might want to add that the equippable combat fish, like the Dark Herring, are NOT transmoggable. :(

Комментарий от Tantrevalles

The Big Iron Fishing Pole can now be fished up in Warlord's Draenor. Great news for us Alliance types.

Комментарий от rotexor

Great guide, but under lines you should add Счастливая леска Рука, as it is +4, the best you can get when combined with the +5 enchant to gloves.This item is also a one time get, which I personally sadly wasted on a +30 rod.

Комментарий от Galahfray

Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't Poseidus be on the mount list seeing as how it's a water mount?

+1 for using the word "Obtention"!

And, you know, for an awesome guide.

Комментарий от Tantrevalles

I was re-reading this guide and it made me remember King Mrgl-Mrgl and his Winterfin murlocs on the north-west corner of the Borean Tundra coast. If you've finished the short quest hub, you can use Winterfin Clams to purchase some nice consumables:

Murliver Oil for 2 winterfin clams, and
Breath of Murloc for 5 winterfin clams.

The winterfin clams are easily collected as they lie on the beach among the enemy murlocs on the opposite shore. One can gather 100 in well under an hour. I double-checked them and they are consumables, but they're wonderfully inexpensive (you don't even need to spend gold!) and easy to get.

Комментарий от twonavels

Mists of Pandaria expansion. Funny that it isn't mentioned in this comprehensive guide.

Комментарий от Eommus

You are wrong about one thing about the angler: "Has completed the Fishing Achievements because they are Fishing achievements."

It should be: "Has completed the Fishing Achievements because they were unlocked naturally."

Комментарий от racheloda

wow, my head is reeling, so much GREAT information, had to print a lot of it. I will never remember it all.

Комментарий от Razorfold

Thank you for this truly amazing guide!

Small update though for the Рыбомания Тернистой долины, it's now a region wide world quest and the first 50 people to complete it (across a region) will be able to choose one of the five rewards: Перстень ужасного пирата, Сверхпрочная этерниевая леска, Сапоги Пиратской бухты, Арканитовая удочка, or Крючок мастера-рыболова.

Комментарий от EatFish

This is a must for any aspiring Angler

There should be a book sold by Nat Pagle Called " A few fish and more" Written by Enarka The Fishy Gnome!

Truly awesome guide, I wonder where the vids are for your showing of all those items =? you were the first to awe El.. but that is soooo long ago.. ;)

I remember though...

"Kirin Tor Fisherman"

Комментарий от Piranha007

I just got back into fishing recently and this is still such a great guide. Thanks Nox for all the updates, I love how easy it is to see what cool items I could work towards.

Комментарий от fergy30fergy

I thought this guide was super helpful, I absolutely will always use this as a reference for cosmetic and or anglin' needs! I have only one tiny caveat I may be a bit of a idealist, but I do believe that the Darkmoon firewater should also be mentioned in this guide, it's really helped me in my search for angling mastery, it may only be a slightly faster casting time but it really helped with the 2m timers on my underlight farm. Otherwise, PERFECTION.

Комментарий от Magenpie

Oh. My. Word.

THIS is the WoW Fishing Guide I've been waiting for (esp after the sad loss of El's)!

Absolutely fantastic work. Thank you so much.

- A Very Grateful Angler

P.S It also made me laugh a lot.

Комментарий от Yaneznayo

Hi! This might be a stupid question, but is there any actual benefit in gearing up with fishing rods, baubles, and the like when you're maxed out in fishing skill? For example, if you have level 300 in fishing (the cap) and you have a bunch of fishing gear that gives you bonuses, does it just act identically to you capped at 300, or is there some hidden mechanics that further reduce chance for smaller fish and increase for larger catches, like bloated fish or rarer drops?

Комментарий от Dakstone

I just tried to get Fisherman's Gloves on my new aspiring angler (death knight) and the BEWARE OF CRAGJAW! quest will no longer give me the option of the gloves and instead forces me to take the ring Cragpool Band. This is a blow but I still won't let it stop me.

Комментарий от Vamp1836

For everyone trying to get all of the bloated fish, there are 2 non-temporary fish missing from the list. The first is the Bloated Giant Sunfish, fished up from the shores of Quel'danas. The second is the Bloated Sewersucker, fished from red pools in the Underbelly in Legion Dalaran after Fel Chum is used.

Комментарий от kingcharlie

Is it still possible to get The 5 ring? I've been doing Dalaran dailies for a year now, yet never even seen one Tiny titanium lockbox. Though I got epic jewels directly from a bag.

Комментарий от HotRats

The Большая железная удочка does not require a player to be on Рыбка в ведерке, is fairly easy to obtain (even by Alliance characters) , and is not BOE (it can be mailed to alts). There is a tight circle of about 5 Ловушка на моллюска near /way 20.7, 80.5. They can be repeatedly looted while swimming in a loop, and should drop at least one Большая железная удочка within 30-60 minutes. Your character will need underwater breathing. The current retail version has been heavily nerfed when compared to the classic version. The classic version has a +20 fishing skill and a fairly good 29 DPS rating for a level 25 character (that has the required 100 fishing skill). In Classic, Большая железная удочка can be farmed to make respectable gold on the AH.

Комментарий от PirateLegend

I genuinely enjoyed reading this so much.. I just love it! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together, and for sharing your experience with new Anglers like myself. It's funny, I recently made a joke to some guildies, "Every night I log on, I say to myself, this is it. I'm going to go on a fantastical adventure, full of monsters, magic, and treasure... but 4hrs later I'm still fishing". lolol I don't know what it is about fishing, or why I always find myself solitary by the waterside, but I love it. This guide has not only given me the direction I needed to make the most out of my fish-ful waterlogged life, it has inspired me to embrace who I truly am in the world of Azeroth, an Angler. <3

Комментарий от FitzChivalry87

Hey @nax, unsure if you're still active, but any chance of updating this for post-Legion content for us HC Anglers returning to an overwhelming amount of content since Legion?

Such an amazing guide...thank you!
