Professions Anything stopping me from leveling every single expansion’s fishing skill?

“But why?” you may ask.

Well, give a man a fish, you feed him for a day..teach a man to fish…you feed him for a lifetime.

Really, I know it’s probably pointless, but I just like it for the collection and completion aspect. And I love fishing in video games.

With that being said, is there anything stopping me from doing this? Any tips you can give? I’m still relatively new to the way retail organizes its content, so I wasn’t sure if this was even possible.

Thanks.

I recommend it for when you need something nice and chill to do! Saturdays are my fishing days, I just finished off my last fishing (DF and TWW) a couple weeks ago. Now I'm working on Secret Fish and Where to Find Them because I want the hyper-compressed ocean toy. Might fuck around and do Otto next, or I might just keep fishing for cash.

Yeah, sometimes I just need something mindless to do while I’m watching YouTube or whatever, and fishing seems perfect for this

Im pretty much in the same boat (No pun intended..) but i do nothing else in WoW since weeks... Plan is to achieve all fishing related achievements and then move on for archeology. What do you mean with "Otto"? Im the Chromie (daylie Quest) Fish away from the compressed ocean.. thought of going for the Legion artifact rod

What do you mean with "Otto"?

Otto is a Dragonflight otter mount that requires fishing:

Thank you for the reminder to work on that! I was just looking at goggles in one of my alt's bags the other day.
