Leveling Fishing

Most people overlook the fact that when they're fishing it's all about the fishing gear available. While some of your catches can result in armor, weapons, mounts and more, there is actually fishing gear you can where while having a nice time on the water.

Granted, you might not worry about it, but a wow fishing guide will give you the details if you do. Here's a short list of what you can find.

Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (200) - This epic fishing pole is one of the most sought after of the bunch. Higher leveled toons will enjoy its 186.5 DPS (damage per second) and 1843 feral attack power.

If this wasn't enough, it will also increase your fishing by 30, and allow underwater breathing. Unfortunately you have your skill level at 300 before you can equip it.

Fishing Chair- If you want to look stylish while you're sitting on a pier, grab yourself a seat.

Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat (115) - Priests, Warlocks, and Mages may enjoy the ability to wear this item. On a fishing standpoint it gives you a +5 skill increase, but if you attach a lure while fishing you will get an additional 75.

We suggest checking the auction house for this one because you can only get it from a drop.

There are several others you can get during your journey and use them to your advantage. You can also find things like higher test line, using dynamite, and having hooks, nets, and anything else.

It's a lot of fun once you get into it. Just keep in mind these will come through leveling your skill. They won't all be accessible in the beginning.

Other Things You'll Find

Since World of Warcraft is about as close to the real world you can get, there are several other benefits to fishing. Eventually you will come across a fishing tournament in Stranglethorn Vale.

While many of you will want to jump all over this, we recommend waiting until you are at least a level 40 character. This way you can take on all the mobs without any problems and reach each area faster with a mount. If you try to do it at a lower level, you might come home a loser.

In the end you can make fishing a lot of fun, but you'll need the help of a wow fishing guide. Trying to go about it without one will leave you wandering around the game in hopes of finding something good.

Instead of taking this route, why don't you let a guide tell you exactly where to go and when you should do it. The end result will be much, much better.
