WoW: The War Withinmade some changes to crafting, but the basics of professions remain the same. Professions are split into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary professions limit you to two at a time, meaning you’d have to start from the beginning if you change them, and include options like tailoring, mining, and alchemy.

Secondary professionsdon’t limit you, and you’re able to learn and level all of them on a single character. These professions include cooking and fishing, which aregreat for keeping you stocked up with buff food. But when it comes to fishing in The War Within, it can feel like there’s a lot you need to know to be a successful fisherman.
Learning How To Fish In Khaz Algar And Leveling Your Skill
First, you need to speak with the fishing trainer in Dornogal so you’ll be able to gain skill points while fishing in new zones. While you’ll find multiple fishing trainers in the new zones,Drokar in Dornogal at the coordinates of 50.4, 26.8is the first one you come across, and he’s in the primary city for the expansion, making him the most convenient trainer to learn from.

Once you learn to fish in Khaz Algar, you’ll see your fishing journal update with information about what you might catch in these new areas. From here, you have two main ways to earn skill levels. First, you need to start fishing in the new areas. You probablywon’t catch many actual fishwhen you’re starting out due to your low skill level, but you can still gain levels when you fish up junk items.
Starting out in higher level areas makes it more difficult to level your fishing, as you have a lower chance of gaining a skill point when you aren’t at an appropriate level for that area.
You can boost your fishing skills with Soaked Journal Entries as well, which are items that you have a chance to fish from pools, or you can purchase them with Mereldar Derby Marks. Additionally, you canmake fishing easier using Perceptionas a secondary stat, which can be done by buying or crafting an Algari Weaverline and adding an Algari Seekerthread to it. Tailors are able to craft fishing hats that you can equip as profession gear as well, giving you another boost to Perception.
Hallowfall Fishing Derby
Every Saturday, you’re able to participate in theweekly fishing derby questto earn Mereldar Derby Marks. These marks can be used to purchase items like the Soaked Journal Entries, as well as other options such as cooking recipes. To participate, speak withCaptain Oathmyt at 44.2, 61.6for the weekly quest. The quest is available for 24 hours, and it asks you to collect three specific trophy fish. Accepting the quest gives you a buff that allows you to catch trophy fish for an hour, but you won’t be able to get the buff again until next week if it wears off.
All The New Fish In The War Within
As far as fish added to this expansion, aside from the trophy fish go, there are20 new fishyou’re able to catch. The zone you’re in and the type of pool you fish from will impact the fish you’re most likely to catch.

If you notice that you’re catching a lot of Cursed Ghoulfish, then you’ll want to go to a lower level area to increase your skill. This should help prevent you from picking up more, so you can catch fish that are actually useful. Remember to alsotoss the Cursed Ghoulfish back into the wateras soon as possible, otherwise it makes leveling your skill unnecessarily difficult with its debuff. From here, you should be set to spend your day by the water and gather ingredients for cooking, or items to put up for sale on the auction house.
