Looking for a relaxing way to spend your time in WoW Forever? Fishing is a great activity when you want to take a break from quests, dungeons, and battles. Whether you're interested in catching fish for Cooking, gathering useful materials, or simply enjoying some time by the water, getting started is easier than you might think. All you need is a Fishing Pole and a little patience!

Step-by-Step Guide to Fishing in WoW Forever

1.    How to Get a Fishing Pole

Before you can start fishing, you need to get a Fishing Pole. You can purchase one from any General Goods Merchant in the game. For example, you can find a Fishing Pole vendor in Goldshire.

Follow these steps:

1. Find a General Goods Merchant in a nearby town.

2. Interact with the merchant to open the shop.

3. Find the Fishing Pole in the available items.

4. Purchase it for just 23 Copper.

Once you have your Fishing Pole, you're ready for the next step.

2. Where is Fishing Trainer location?

After purchasing your Fishing Pole, visit a Fishing Trainer to learn Fishing.

If you're in Stormwind, you can ask the city guards for directions to the Fishing Trainer. The guard will mark the trainer's location on your map.

Alternatively, you can follow the location shown on the map below to find the trainer directly.
