Tips

  • Big-Mouth Clam in Swamp of Sorrows and Glossy Mightfish in Eastern Plaguelands both have their highest catch rates between 00:00 and 06:00 server time, so prioritize those zones during that window.

  • Look for schools of fish in each zone, as fishing schools tend to yield higher catch rates for specific fish compared to open water.
