Fishing is one of the WoW’s secondary professions, together with cooking and first aid, which is considered as one of the most difficult to level up. Up to the Burning Crusade expansion, fishing wasn’t even appreciated as a very useful profession. With the new cooking recipes that had a major impact on the improvement of your character in a raid, fishing has become a very useful and valued profession. With Wrath of The Lich King Expansion, value of fishing is appreciated even more. With the new achievements in professions, new daily quests and expansion in cooking, fishing has become more popular than ever. Click here for more on fishing: WoW Fishing and Cooking Guide 1-450

By doing all of the fishing achievements you will be granted a special title “Salty” which, we can surely say, is quite difficult to get and there aren’t many players with it. For this title one has to complete a series of fishing achievements, such as The Coin Master and Angler of Stranglethorn, which demands completing various fishing assignments and winning fishing contest held on Sundays in Booty Bay. You will also need to win on a Sunday’s Booty Bay fishing contest for the Master Angler of Stranglethorn achievement, do all of the five fishing daily quests found in Dalaran for the Chasing Marcia achievement, fish from different types of fish schools in Outland and Northrend, etc.

As you can see, fishing is very useful, and it can be quite profitable too. You can level up fishing without leveling the cooking, however, these two match each other perfectly so it would be advised to level them both up.

How exactly is fishing profitable?

Well, the answer is simple – fish! There are many areas on the map where you can find ideal fishing spots. Just by selling the raw fish on the AH you can earn a lot of gold. However, if you have cooking leveled up than the best thing would be to make food. There are various foods made from fish that can increase stats of any class, like spell power, spirit, stamina, hit rating, crit rating, haste rating, agility, strength, attack power, etc.

There are also special recipes for food which hunters can use to buff their pets and also recipes for the fish feasts that can buff the whole raid. The fishes for this feast can be caught throughout Northrend zones and require Northern Spices obtainable through cooking daily quests in Dalaran. The Fish Feast is useful because anyone in your group/raid can eat it and receive 80 attack power, 46 spell power and 40 stamina bonus on stats for 1 hour.

Fishing is a useful and nice profession to level up and when combined with cooking it can greatly boost anyone. Still, many players who start leveling up fishing complain that it goes considerably slower than leveling other secondary professions.

To level up fishing you will need an adequate fishing pool, fishing lures which will increase your fishing skill and suitable areas for fishing. Apart from that, just as in the real life, it will require a lot of patience as well. Casting your fishing pool into the water and waiting for a fish to bite can take time.

Although it may seem slow, do not give up on it. Take your time, and keep in mind that with this profession you shouldn’t be in a rush and that by doing daily quests you will also gain a lot on your skill. It will go a lot easier from there.
