3.1 Junk Catches
Confused about junk catches and skill changes in patch 3.1? This new video should help!
3.1 Role of Fishing Skill
Patch 3.1 (not yet live) changes the role of fishing skill. Each location still requires a certain skill to fish without “get-aways” catching junk items. But you can now cast everywhere at skill 1. This technical analysis shows precisely how much junk will be caught at different skill levels. The change makes gear and skill less important when fishing in Northrend. Learn more.
