Old Man Heming is one of Blizzard's pop-culture references to Ernest Hemingway and his book The Old Man and the Sea which is about a Cuban fisherman and his struggles with a marlin. It's only appropriate that this NPC sells you the book to train to Expert fishing.

Commento di Deadheads

He is at 27,77 at the bottom level of the docks.

Commento di Kavex

Hes in the middle of Booty Bay at the very bottom part.
Theres a fishing sign.
I hope this helps because i spent 20 mins looking for him.

Pictures:

The dock you swim up if you jump in the water (until now I never knew it existed).

The Ol'Man and the shop he's in.

He was a pain for me to find too, course everthing in Booty Bay is a pain to find.
Oh, and one more thing, since he's a little Alliance npc his speach is most offensive so I must say, "FOR THE HORDE!!!"

Commento di stonefish

Ok, i have problems finding him too. So after you unload from the boat run on the right side of the deck till you pass two turtles. A little bit after them there is a deck on the left going down. Take that deck and he will be in front of you after few meters.

Correction, the turtles are gone now, there is 3 guards there now and one of them is called Landro Longshot.

He's inside a building on the lowest level, but should be visible once you're there. I just used /target Old Man Heming until I found him in my range, then went from there. Took about a minute, all told.

Just jump in the water run up the plank out of it and turn right you'll see he standing there in a hut found him in like 1min. :D

Heming is inside Booty Bay, on the southern portion of the docks, on a lower level of docks. It took me forever to find him, though now I'm not quite sure why. Don't waste your time and don't leave Booty Bay, it's dangerous out there!

Commento di Thottbot

Thanks for telling me where he is, people are selling it for 1g75s on the Auction House.

Commento di Thottbot

In Booty Bay, if you fall into water near dock, then there is a ramp for you to climb back up. Old Man Heming is near that ramp. As you climb up the ramp from water, immediately take a right. Old Man Heming is in that shop.

Commento di Thottbot

Booty Bay is easy to get for Horde. Simply make your way to Ratchet in The Barrens and take the boat.

Alliance have it a bit tougher at lower levels, but you can make the swim from Westfall to Booty Bay very easily. This just takes some time and patience!

Commento di Thottbot

Southern Menethil Bay Boat to Theramore Isle. Take beach North to Ratchet, will have to swim a bit. Turtles don't aggro for Druids at least. Avoid some threshers and murloc types by skirting widely.

Then take the same boat that Horde take to Booty Bay. There are Gryphon Flight Paths at both Theramore and Ratchet you should get while there. Easiest if not pvp'd as well.

Commento di Thottbot

Alliance can get to Booty Bay by traveling to Darkshire (south of Elwynn Forest across river, or west of Sentinel Hill across river) then to Stranglethorn Vale (go south out of town, road bends west, take a left when you get to the Night Watch tents).

Commento di Thottbot

Location 27,77 price 1 gold, He is in the Happy Bobber store by the ramp to the water.

can any one post an stimate fishing lv of the different gamezones plz ?

Commento di Thottbot

It costed him less because of his reputation..

Commento di Thottbot

Probably the easiest way to get to Booty Bay as Alliance is going to Stormwind, then going from Stormwind to Westfall, then going all the way west into the water and swimming. It'll take longer but for level 1-35's (*cough* twinks *cough*) it'll be easier and less time consuming than dying 800 times.

Commento di Thottbot

Clearly a reference to 'The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway

Commento di Thottbot

Noob in game, but the trip makes me think of Star Trek: To BOLDLY go where no FOOL should. Sounds like fun to me, cya! OMW :D

Commento di Thottbot

Still 1G with neutral rep, still in the same place. Unlimited supply.

Commento di Allakhazam

Coordinates 27,77 for those with CT mod

Commento di Allakhazam

He is so damn difficult to find! Even with the coordinates of 27,77 doesn't really help.

To find him, when you come off the boat, pick the lower ramp (right ramp). After the curve, pick another lower ramp (left ramp). Go straight and he is in the room named "The Happy Bobber"

Commento di Allakhazam

I've fished booty bay from the pier and have caught fish, but you need to have 150+ skill to catch anything (at least for me as I failed a lot). Also it helps to have bait even at 150+.

Commento di Allakhazam

I travelled to Booty Bay on foot, died a bunch of times, only to find out you have to be level 20 to get this book. I went as a level 16 druid.

Commento di Allakhazam

27.77

Commento di Allakhazam

where can i get the book as a Horde? I don't want to spend a while bunch of money in the AH to get it either

Commento di Allakhazam

Wanted to add this for a long time, but know I got the time to.
Old Man Heming is a reference to Earnest Hemingways "The old man and the sea" where the old man is a fisherman as well :P

Commento di Allakhazam

If you stay to the left on the lower level, you'll end up going down a ramp onto the lowest level, close to the water. The ramp into the water will be on your right, keep going straight and you'll see the fishing shop and the Old Man.

Commento di Allakhazam

Ernst Nessingwary in Stranglethorn is also a reference to Ernest Hemmingway

Commento di Allakhazam

Old Man Heming can be found in the back corner, on the lowest level. Going in the front gate you keep to the left on the main walkway. In the back corner you'll find a shop, and he is the only NPC inside.

By the way, they have reactivated fishing in Booty Bay. It was turned off, as was all expert fishing for a period of time. It happens to be a very high area for fishing. If you aren't over 150 (or higher) you're not likely to catch very much, very quickly.

They have though nerfed the heck out of fishing. Sorry to say that, but it's very true. No longer is it a great way to get items for wearing or crafting, it's pretty much useable for getting fish to cook and eat and that's about it.

My fishing is maxed out at 315(300, +5 Rod, +5 Hat(dropped of the black bear patriarch by the Loch), and +5 gloves) i reeled in a plain box, inside was 2 major healing pots a gray sword and a Libram of VoracityLibram of Voracityi hit the jaack pot, too bad the libram quest takes like forever for the mats required to get the +8 to 1 stat5 on leg or helm

Commento di Allakhazam

Can you talk to him regardless of your experience level? I am a level 33 Rogue but have 150 fishing. I just wanted to know if it is worth the risk of traveling down there to get it.

Anyone tried swimming it?

Commento di Allakhazam

I really wish I had seen this post before... I saw this book in AH and came to Allakhazam to see where could it be bought (for much less, that's for sure...). I looked in "Tradeskills, by trainer", but there was some kind of error and could't check anything. So this morning I saw it again at AH, and bid for it... 1 gold and 50 silver. Now I wish I've been outbid!
It's a shame, I was in Booty Bay yesterday looking for a fisherman, and could'nt find anything cause there are no guards to whom you can ask and Booty Bay looks like a laberynth!

Commento di Ashirin

He is at 27,77 in the lower level of Booty Bay. If you are in the deep end of the bay jump in the water, take the ramp up and enter the building on your right hand side. There he is
The book always seems to cost exactly 1 gold. I am friendly with the Steamwheedle Cartell and I receive no discount.

Old Man Heming is clearly a reference to Ernet Hemingways book "The Old Man and the Sea"

Commento di Lasermannen

Why can i not se Aquadynamic Fish Attractor in Hemings shop?

"The thousand times that he had proved it meant nothing. Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it."

Commento di Black2u
