How it works

Fishing is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Fishing.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Fishing.
  3. Effect 3 is Skill Step (effect type 44). Its base value is 1.
  4. Effect 4 is Skill Step (effect type 44). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Fishing is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell and has a Skill Step effect. It also casts Fishing (record #7620) and Fishing (record #271616).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
