WoW Fishing – Easy Gold at Lower Levels

I’ll admit, fishing is a lot less glamorous than going out and killing bears or murlocs at lower levels, but, if done right, it can earn you a lot more gold than the scraps you’ll pick up from killing mobs.

While most fish are only good for leveling up your cooking skill or feeding your pet if you’re a hunter, the real secret to making gold from fishing is knowing what kind of fish is in demand and where (and what time of day). ) to fish. catch them. In this article, you’ll learn the type of fish that will net you the most gold at auction, and exactly where to fish for it.

Improve your culinary skill
Although not directly related to fishing, there are many lower level recipes for fish that help you improve your cooking skills very quickly. As you gain levels, you’ll get more recipes and you’ll be able to cook much of the meat and eggs that drop from mobs you kill. While this isn’t a huge producer of gold, cooked foods sell for much more than raw foods at the trader, and can often sell for even more at auction (more on this in another report).
Special Fish

Speaking of recipes, certain fish are ingredients in food and profession recipes and can also impart stat boosts or special effects when eaten that make them very valuable in the auction house and very lucrative for you to catch. These fish are found randomly in bodies of water of the appropriate levels, but are most often found in “pools” which are represented by slightly glowing areas of water (mouse over the area to see what type of fish the pool contains ).

deviant fish
Approx. Value: 1 gold each at auction
Deviate Fish is one of the classic gold creators for very low level Horde characters and Alliance characters at teen levels and above (assuming you’re on a non-PvP server). One of the reasons Deviate Fish is so popular is that they give a random buff or other effect when eaten raw and when cooked in Savory Deviate Delight they can turn the diner into a pirate or ninja for an hour. Although the recipe for Deviate Salty Delight is very rare, the raw ingredient (Deviate Fish) is fairly easy to find in the pools of the Barrens.

Diverted fish are found in the Barrens in ponds in the following locations:

Forgotten Pools: Northwest of the crossroads.
Lushwater Oasis: Just south of the Wailing Caverns.
Wailing Caverns: In open water inside the dungeon.
Stagnant Oasis: Southwest of Ratchet.

Deviate Fish pools rotate between the three non-dungeon bodies of water above, so if the area you’re in doesn’t have any visible fish pools, move on to the next location, as you’ll almost certainly find one. over there. Deviate Fish catch rate is around 50 fish per hour and they sell for around one gold each at auction, not bad for an hour of work!

oily blackmouth
Approx. Value: 25 silver each at auction
Oily Blackmouth can be caught with fairly low fishing skill and sold for several gold per stack at auction. Unfortunately for those of you with Horde characters, the best place to catch Oily Blackmouth is in the Alliance town of Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands, though they can also be found at the Dock in Ratchet, on the Longshore in Westfall, and near the Gryphon. Masters at Auberdine. They can be found in ponds on the edges of the harbor and can be fished at a rate of around 40 per hour, which works out to around five gold at auction. It’s not as good as Deviate Fish, but if you’re an Alliance character on a PvP server, it’s much safer than traveling to The Barrens!
