Fishing Guides
Pools, oases and night swarms that turn a fishing rod into gold.
These guides cover Fishing on vanilla-era realms such as WoW Forever, both the climb to 300 and the pools worth fishing for gold. The Fishing 1-300 leveling guide goes range by range: starting-zone rivers to 75, the Barrens, the Wetlands, Hillsbrad and the Westfall coast to 150, Stranglethorn and Desolace to 225, then Tanaris, Feralas, Azshara and Felwood to the cap. It also covers the two gates on the way: the Expert book from Old Man Heming in Booty Bay at 125 and the Nat Pagle quest in Dustwallow Marsh at 225.
The fishing gold guide is a ladder by character level: Deviate Fish in the Barrens oases for roughly 3–8 gold an hour, Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper pools for roughly 4–10, and Stonescale Eel swarms after dark on the Tanaris, Feralas and Azshara coasts for roughly 8–15. The Cooking 1–300 guide shows what to do with the catch, since Cooking levels almost for free alongside Fishing.
ForeverBot does not cast for you. You walk a coast once with Record loop, and the navigator leads you from pool to pool, sells gray items when the bags fill and shows Gold/hour, so you can see which coast pays.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I buy the Expert Fishing book?
Old Man Heming sells Expert Fishing – The Bass and You on the docks of Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. You need at least 125 Fishing to learn it. It raises your cap from 150 to 225 and is the only way past 150.
How do I get Artisan Fishing?
Reach 225 Fishing and visit Nat Pagle at his camp on the coast of Dustwallow Marsh. His quest asks for four rare fish from Feralas, the Swamp of Sorrows, Desolace and the Savage Coast of Stranglethorn. Turning them in teaches Artisan Fishing and raises the cap to 300.
Why are there no Stonescale Eels on the coast?
Almost always because it is daytime on the server clock. Stonescale Eel swarms appear only after dark; in daylight the same spots hold Firefin schools or nothing at all. Fish the snappers until evening and the swarms return with the dark.
