Tooltip

Equip a fishing pole and find a body of water to fish. Right-Click on the bob in the water when it splashes to catch your fish. Higher skill increases your chance of fishing successfully in higher level areas.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Fishing is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 0.2 sec cooldown.

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.
