    Here at WoW Insider, we have a wide array of opinions on fishing in World of Warcraft. Matthew Rossi, despite being the unfortunate man who gets to write about fishing most often on the site, hates the act and all it entails. Me? I'd say I'm one of WoW Insider's biggest pro-fishing advocates. That said, I'm not so into fishing that I'm willing to pursue realm-first Zen Master Angler when Mists of Pandaria hits. If you are the sort of person willing to pursue that sort of thing, El's Anglin' has you covered. Let's be honest here, when it comes to fishing, what doesn't El have? Get your poles ready, ladies and gentlemen, because here's El's guide to the entire Zen Master process. It's nearing time to get your fish on. It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!

  • Mists of Pandaria Beta: The Angler's Wharf makes the perfect fishing hideaway

    Fishing is both my favorite and least favorite WoW profession. I love sitting lazily around, watching a movie and click-fishing. That seems weird, but it's very relaxing to me, considering you don't have to move as much as you do in archaeology. But I digress. Mists of Pandaria is introducing a brand new faction, The Anglers, and their adorable fishing village to the new continent. This new hub features a cast of fishing characters, their village, daily quests, and a faction to work on with, presumably, rewards. We like rewards. The ever-angler, El, previewed the new fishing village, showing off the gorgeous buildings and the fun cast of characters. I'm sure that we'll get to know these guys pretty well over the course of the expansion, since we'll be hanging out with them on a daily basis. Well, at least I will be. In fact, hopefully Blizzard sees these new little hideaways as places players want to set their hearthstone in order to get out in the world rather than be cooped up in the capital city. If this little village has some cool features, like a secret bank or something, I might just never leave.
