Fishing has been around since WoWs initial release back in 2004, and through the years, while the minigame itself hasn’t changed much the things you can do with fishing has ranged widely.

Back in the day and in classic now I'd fish waiting for the boats to come to take to one of the other continents. Also a favourite memory was finishing 10 man Naxx and our druid tank just realizing he tanked it all with his fishing pole equipped.

You forgot to talk about the Kalu'ak faction, which at exalted allowed you to purchase the Masterwork Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. This pole gave you +30 to Fishing, but also gave you the ability to breathe underwater when equipped. It also had a unique pole design. There was also Pengu, a penguin battle pet that you could purchase from the same vendor. Not a fish, but still interesting.

I noticed from playing classic that a lot of people didnt know that fishing was hands down the best proff in the game for farming. During Vanilla it was possible to fish for leather working, alchemy, tailoring AND enchanting mats very efficiently from floating debris pools. Literally no one understood how I was level 35 with max enchanting and tailoring on my first character.

Technically, SOME fishing items had PvP usage. The old fishing rewards included, if I recall correctly, a hat with a lot of stamina. You could get it at a low level and it was a sought-after item for certain low level PvP twinks, because the comparatively huge health boost from something like +20 stamina on a lowbie was much stronger than anything else you could get in the lowest twinked bracket.

@jawstrock2215 3 жыл бұрын

fishing, and cooking have always been very useful skills, when combined provided stat buffs. it used to surprise me how few actually knew this until i told them. i made my G for riding, and mount from selling blackmouth, and firefin on AH. was a very lucrative business, especially the goblin AH. i guess my rep got around as the horde stopped attacking me in southshore knowing soon i'd have mats on the neutral AH for potions they didn't need to farm.

Fun fact about the underlight angler: it can be used in bgs, so it actually has some decent use in twin peaks as a flag carrier. allowing you to outrun your persuers. but you did loose the stats of your weapon. so high risk high reward

I've made quite a bit of gold at the start of BfA and Shadowlands till fish prices eventually tank.
