Tips

  • Zones like Wintergrasp can yield multiple fish species in a single location, reducing total travel time compared to visiting separate zones for single fish.

  • Bloated fish variants can only be caught from the highest drop-rate fish in a given zone's open water, so focus your bloated fish farming in zones where the target fish has the highest spawn weight.

  • Fish schools grant faster catches than open water for school-only fish such as Raw Sagefish in Wetlands and Raw Greater Sagefish in Moonglade.

  • Raw Nightfin Snapper in Moonglade is only available between 6pm and 6am in-game time.
