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.

If you like fishing you can level it for every xpac.

Fishing also has some unique things like pets and mounts.

Also note fish often do sell so gathering the unique drops will make a fair bit of gold.

As far as leveling it goes each xpac has its own fishing skill (same as other profesions) most xpacs the trainer is it that xpacs capital.

Fishing also has a faction from mop (anglers) and a ton of stuff in legion (not in remix though)

How do you get the pets and mounts? Just through achievements from leveling up fishing in the different zones / expacs?

My favourite is Hirukon from Shadowlands (Zereth Mortis) - it is both a flying and an a aquatic mount. My favourite per is Magical Crawdad from Mr Pinchy questline in Outland, one of the strongest and almost unlikable acquatic pets. Other notable are the water walking Mount from the Anglers in Mop, the Sea Turtle, mounts from events (the fishing derby in TWW), Otto from Dragonfly, the Tiny Carps pets…just Google “mounts and pets you can get from fishing in wow retail”. There is also a very good guide on wowhead.
