Leveling Classic-Fishing: (1-300)
1 – 50
Buy some Shiny Baubles and fish in rivers in Durotar or Elwynn Forest. Visit your trainer after you reached Skill 50 to learn the next rank!
50 – 100
Until you reach Skill 75, you need Shiny Baubles. Fish for Floating Debris or Floating Wreckage near the pier in Ratchet (Barrens). The chests can contain low level materials.
100 – 175
Horde: Go to the Hinterlands and finish the Quest Snapjaws Mon to get a Fishing Pole that grants +25 on Fishing. Then get some Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker (Engineers can craft them, Fishing Vendors sometimes have them in limited supply) and fish on the Cap of Stranglethorn. Down the coast line there are schools of Steinschuppenaal you can empty and sell those fish. You can also find Wreckages there. With Skill 125 you can use Helle Schmuckstücke instead of Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker. Visit your trainer after you reached Skill 125 to learn the next rank!
125 – 200
Alliance players can not get this fishing Pole. So you have to reach 120 in Ratchet, not only 100. With 120 you can go get a Starke Angelrute (Fishing +5) and head to Stranglethorn Vale like written above. You can also search for a Große Eisenangel (Fishing +20) at the Auction House.
175 – 300
Take some Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker with you to the Coast of Tanaris and fish there. Here are a lot of schools of Steinschuppenaal, which makes the zone very profitable. After reaching Skill 200, use Helle Schmuckstücke. Visit your trainer after you reached Skill 225 to learn the next rank!
200 – 300
Alliance players stay in Stranglethorn Vale until Skill 200 and then follow the Horde players to Tanaris. Visit your trainer after you reached Skill 225 to learn the next rank!
