Classic Vanilla WoW Professions Overview/Guide: Fishing

[@Frostadamus]

Hey guys. Thanks for watching. Classic wow it's right around the corner. Last we've made some merchandise with vanilla flavour.

[@jamescpalmer]

Hey dude, what gold per hour could you rack up fishing? How is it comparable to grind spots? Thanks!

[@TheFlibidy]

I think you forgot to mention the "find fish" book that allows you to track fish schools on the minimap. It's quite helpful, and you get it by opening boxes from fishing in wreckage.

[@themrqwertymarkOriginal]

Frost your content is top tier for Wow Classic! Thanks for all your effort you put into these videos!! We love you!!

[@Makedeth]

Pretty sure the deviate fish can also be fished from the oasis pools in barrens.

[@lucasstone243]

Correct. All of them.

[@MrTankFodder]

It's the best place to do it imo, chase the deviate schools.

[@Rngplayhard]

Of course, and by the way, can you fish them from inside WC ? You know, the water where you jump into from the last boss... I think not but dont remember...

[@ThargixEU]

@@lucasstone243 This indeed. I used to fish them on my twinks back in the day to make gold. The deviate schools spawn in all of the oasis and hunting those pools is the best way to obtain them

[@j0nayblade]

@@Rngplayhard you can on certain undocumented servers

[@Payowow]

Fishing. One of the best profession in classic. ( not trolling btw ) commenting before the little little watching ofc. Hopefully you talk about the little compétition. Miss you on nost mate. Little mage oui

[@TheRoteblume]

More pvp vids plz

[@Frostadamus]

Hey Payo, I miss playing on "nost" but classic is so close. Just gonna wait for the release :D

[@gremlin141]

I couldn't stand fishing back in the day but this time around I will just for cooking and food buffs, plus to pay respects to a great guildie that LOVED fishing in game who isn't around anymore.

[@styxzero1675]

As a guy that will primarly pvp in classic making an alliance fisher seems to have great potential. You get some pvp action in horde zones and can capture fish that are more rare on the alliance side. Win/win situation. I actually love how much depth classic has that I never knew about. Like how fishing is affected by seasons, time of the day and location. Makes it feel more realistic. Since I wount be making any gold from pvp I feel like fishing could compliment that.

[@kronniichiwa9909]

I remember fishing in Redridge Mountains while standing on the huge bridge. Also, travelling from Stormwind to Ironforge through the Deeprun Tram just to catch the rare fish equipable in your off hand

[@MiekSr]

This video is a gift ! Can’t wait for the cooking video

[@Itisrjay]

I logged into KZbin, which is a rare occasion, to tell you I thought your video was very informative and helpful. Thanks!

[@prebenolsen1085]

Vanilla-veteran here, been watching your videos for quite a while and recently subbed (about time). I wish I had this knowledge when I played vanilla back in the day. Also - I think with today's gamers and how the knowledge is so more readily available - the competition on these things are gonna be much harder this time around. Keep making great content. Looking forward to release!

[@kennethjensen730]

Top 5 classic wow content creators. Frost, Madseason, Platinum wow, Tips, Kargoz, you All make us 100% Ready.

[@TinyyTonyy]

Getting closer and closer my dude! Can't freaking wait.

[@Frostadamus]

I regained my hype :O

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I always hated fishing in Vanilla, but after many years I finally figured out how to level fishing without it being the most boring thing in the world. What I will do is at least once, every time I am logged in, I will fish until I get 10 points to my fishing. Then I either stop and move on, or keep going if I am into it at the time. But at least once a day I get 10 points. This really helped to level and not be so boring.

[@Scrumpchwrap]

Gotta say I love your guides the most on KZbin. Looking forward to the cooking guide. Keep up the great content Frost!!!

[@davidd9707]

These videos are helping me through the waiting period for classic. Good stuff, Frostadamus!

[@fernandohuertaperez5455]

I didnt know some fish could only be caught on certain seasons. Wow, loving your channel.

[@Checkmate54321]

I didnt realize there were seasons LOL!

[@saurlex1368]

I had no idea about the seasonal fish... love learning new things about vanilla.

[@aonirsplayground6224]

Its little details like these that made vanilla great, hopefully they don't screw it up... Also a reason to have night/day cycle (emphasizes the atmosphere of being 3am and fishing for the nightfin)

[@Apollow182]

I love your videos. I would love to have a stat breakdown on how long it took you to fish out all of the boxes that you opened at the start of your video. You showed that off, but didn't even talk about how you got them. You didn't talk about fishing the floating wrecks, for possible random greens, potions, or range of random loot from low level zones to higher.

[@Frostadamus]

Look at the amount of fish I got in my bag. That was like 2.5 hours of fishing on the offline server with 0 competition. The pools and wreckage spawned pretty fast, but tbh I kinda slacked. So I cannot tell you the exact time it would take on a real server :E

[@Skulkesyk]

Amazing video as always! thanks for all the effort u guys put into making em!

[@kev1734]

Awesome :) Whenever I create a main I always pick up fishing. It helps boost cooking to stay with your level and I've always made good money off sagefish. You just do it when you need to eat or make a call to someone, find somewhere to chill and multitask away. I also like to find my own little fishing spot; sometimes I bump into people in the least likely of places! oh yeah, and my signature alcoholic drink is black label which I've only ever seen from fishing lol

[@Frostadamus]

where do you sagefish? :D

[@kev1734]

@@Frostadamus I've been lucky in STV and hinterlands. The coast in desolace is also a nice spot and I'm sure I've found them in Hillsbrad.

[@do7aan]

Amazing video, I really appreciate the hard work you put into the video.

[@tennzor5458]

These viceos are soo useful! Thank you lad!

[@nzcalso]

Fishing is one of my favorite things to do in WoW. It's quite enjoyable.

[@Prengle]

Another thing about fishing that's great for Tailors specifically are the Cloth Bolts that drop from wreckage. I farmed up several hundred stacks of Runecloth worth of Rcloth bolts while getting my fishing up. Also there's a chance schools might not be in Classic's release, I don't know if they've said anything about it, but they are going with a progressive raid and itemization release schedule, and fishing nodes like wreckage and schools were added in a later patch.

[@Frostadamus]

As far as I understand, the patch stuff will be only for items. As they will run on 1.12 rest :E But you got a point there.

[@DepressoSquad]

I've watched your videos on and off for a few years. These professions videos are very well made and i'm looking forward to your channel blowing up when Classic is released.

[@nightsage217]

Of all the professions, I'm actually sold on doing fishing and cooking.

[@davidkirschbaum1430]

If a poor goldless Night Elf in Classic, remember that you can get a very nice FREE fishing rod (pretty much equivalent to the Strong Fishing Rod) from Gubber Blump on the beach just below the Auberdine pier. Easy quest: just catch 6 Darkshore Grouper and he'll give you that nice rod. He'll even provide you with a loaner, so don't spend precious silver on a rod. Plus the Grouper is good food, great for pets, even sells at the AH. Search for "The Family and the Fishing Pole" for details.

[@Icosiol]

Beautiful Guide. Fishing and Cooking can be extremely lucrative. I was going to be making my own video on the subject as well in a few months time. Excellent video.

[@Frostadamus]

lol, I was just watching a lore video on your channel. Was trying to steal some ideas =)

[@Icosiol]

Frostadamus, lol, steal away. Love watching your content.

[@evilsdemise1287]

Was looking for fishing profession guide, not a fishing gold making guide. Good video regardless.

[@jeremiahclark2033]

This was truly a great guide and a great video! Always love your content.

[@ColCoal]

Calling it now: Frost will make a profession guide to lockpicking.

[@mitchellmcdowell7292]

I think he should. There are some really bad guides for lock picking out there. Most guides are for late patches, and with certain patches you can't do what they suggest in the guide. Some examples would be the suggested lock boxes in Angor Fortress... or around the lake in Lakeshire, or off the coast of Desolace. This just isn't an option for a fresh server going through the patch progress cycle. Pick pocketing lock boxes and some doors like the ones in SM or the back door in Gnormeragon (which you can only do once every 24 hours I think) are the only way to lvl up lock picking early on. I think for Alliance lock picking form like 220-225 (guessing here) is impossible with lock boxes I think... the way I got the 5 points i needed to lvl up to 225 was opening the SM and Gnomeragon doors. 3 skill ups per day since you couldn't spam them. ( at least on private servers... might be different on live)

[@Frostadamus]

Actually, that's not a bad idea :D

[@soul_vicex]

Pickpocketing in Darkshire crypts is profitable, so is LBRS for Heavy Junkboxes!

[@Mr.H-YT42]

@@mitchellmcdowell7292 All in favor of a Pickpocketing / Lockpicking / stealth run opportunities vid for rogues!

[@Lt.Mingus69]

One of my first toons has the Arcanite Fishing Pole, the swimming trinket might’ve been more useful but I panicked and picked the pole in case someone was on my heels. I remember winning that contest was pretty exciting. Might try again in Classic, it’s getting close.

[@Itsjumbomuffin]

Unbelievable useful video! Makes me wanna log on talk to friends and fish my ass off ! Luv u Frost~

[@cuthian18]

YEEEEEES gave like even before watching :D

[@klocka88]

Ahh, that House Proudmoore theme

[@shii5795]

Don't forget, back in vanilla off the coast of Darnasus, you had the chance of catching two fish at once. And this had a chance of awarding two skill points instead of just one. Then their's the unique treasure you can get. Such as the 1-Ring.

[@avargs3505]

Fishing was highly underrated and wasn't until lights hope that I took it seriously and to great success

[@avargs3505]

@Ramen Eater you can have all the secondary professions like cooking and fishing but only two of the primary profs at any given time like mining +engineering vanilla-wow.fandom.com/wiki/Profession

[@kronniichiwa9909]

Some of these are a bit horde biased, but that only makes me even more excited about my fishing job. -Don't wonder if you see any Alliance in the Barrens folks, we may be there for the recipe or just to fish in that special pool. -Just as we(the Alliance) see lots of hordies twinks-wanna-be farming deadmines in Westfall.

[@simonandersen7942]

I remember funding a lvl 19 rogue twink back in vanilla, via fishing and cooking deviate fish outside the Wailing Caverns, on my 20 something Warlock "main". Good times. They sold for about 1g each.

[@MihaZ]

Outstanding quality! Well done!

[@Shroomstep]

Steamwheedle port here I come. I practically lived on that dock for 2 years.

[@Frostadamus]

Give it a break son. There are other ways to make gold :D

[@dizzywhite4209]

that background music at the start is giving me goosebumps

[@Braindance98]

@Frostadamus literally this is what i am excited about in terms of classic, professions that actually feel like you are achieving something. I am so ready to farm and make gold for my guild and homies... after i smash them in leveling of course

[@Cludo_]

Didn't know fishing was this profitable in Classic. Defs going to level it, I have a shitty laptop at work which I installed BFA on when it first dropped I made a tonne of gold just fishing on my lunch breaks. Going to do the same with Classic!

[@gscgold]

On a side note I don't know that it's been covered or not but on darkshore once you reach Auberdeen the night elf's / alliance get a quest for a fishing pole from Blubber Gump I believe, it's been so long I can't remember, they took the quest out in cataclysm but it had + fishing on it and not sure if there was any other poles that had plus fishing as a reward so no need for NE or any alliance willing to travel at low level..I do recall the fishing quest in the dwarf / gnome area too at that lake but don't recall the reward.really looking forward to all this again...

[@anirban9647]

couple of things, people have a misconception that one needs to fish in higher level areas to gain fishing skill level faster, thats wrong, fishing skill level increase rate will be same irrespective of the area you are fishing at, that means u can get to 300 from 0 from any pool, its just rng. Fishing skill caps can be extended by books bought from fish vendors, one needs fishing to fish out fishes to summon a boss in zg, fishing cap increase from 225 to 300 requires quest from Nat Pagle in dustwallow marsh...., My recommendation would be to buy the fishing books and get to fishing 225 from 0 inside wailing caverns for deviate , then go steamwheedle, then after you get to max skill level cap required for bay of storms, fish there to get good chunk of gold

[@Frostadamus]

good point, I should've added it into the guide. But I guess I focused to much on gold-making. There's a paragraph close to the end where I say that leveling fishing it's like a walk in the park... Does that count? =)

[@anirban9647]

@@Frostadamus it does count xD, i think it takes about 5 hours to get to 300 from 0, really love your content so far, also maybe you could make a quest guide series for certain standout iconic quests and quest chains like onyxia attune, ubrs key, scarab lord and maybe content like how to get exalted cross faction darnassus by level 40 and get sabers

[@Pack-D]

Amazing guide Frost I didn't even consider fishing in Classic. I'll definetly give it a go :D

[@heuix3112]

think there might be a fishing quest in Dustwallow marsh from nat pagle, thx for making theese videos :)

[@hatchettwit]

Been a while since I played wow, very excited about classic. I'm embarrassed however, when the fisher is by the mail box I was try to turn the camera with my mouse - I forgot I wasn't playing. XD

[@Casiuss666]

Most profession guides assume that there is already a market for mats and craftables, but I think for the first weeks/months after classic launch there is simply not going to be the monetary base yet and most people will be trying to sell all the gathering profession mats but not many people will able or willing to buy them. So, for the first weeks after launch we probably need ways to make gold that don't rely on the existing monetary base but create money themselves (i.e. vendoring to NPC).

Nice guide, keep it up! :D I'm just afraid that the gold making potential of fishing will be way lower than back in vanilla. Fishing won't be as much of a niche profession in classic so that there will naturally be more fishes in stock. That's the "downside" of an easy access to good guides these days ;)

[@Psillytripper]

on a competitive or pvp server what class would be best for your "main" fisher. I feel like alchemy and herbalism would go well with that character as well. rogue? druid?

[@uni4rm]

while I appreciate the video's, one must remember that as a server ages in progression, eventually gathering becomes so saturated that it drives down the prices on all these goods. Also, many people who are using these items to craft, in a mature server, will either have a farming alt or have someone in the guild farming. Farming materials will always make some money, but nothing like crafting professions. But gathering professions will always have that lower cost of entry and training.

[@midgetmatop9218]

@frostadamus, hey awesome guide man. got me into trying to fish in this game. Do you know if lures allow you to fish in higher level areas? Azshara says it is a fishing level of "205 (305)".

What is an efficient way to level fishing from 1-300? That is the only thing missing from the video, good video for how to use the profession for gold.

[@Frostadamus]

Just fish an area until you stop receiving skill-ups, then move to a higer area. Example: Start stormwind, move redrige, wetlands coast, tanaris. 5 hours later, you're 300.

[@j0nayblade]

I think the amount of successful casts you need to get a skillup is only determined by your own fishing skill. It does not matter where you fish as long as your skill is high enough to successfully catch fish
