Where is the find fish ability

Take the portal in Stormwind to the Dark Portal. To the right of this crate is always a floating wreckage unless somebody just fished it that I fish in. It drops red crates every time, last time it dropped 4 crates on 4 throws and the journal was in the first. Thought I would get 1 journal extra for my last char.

Now I only have my eleventh char left on this realm and he will for sure also do the same routine. Comment by Theolol During patch 6. Incidental details: I was at level 90 with under fishing skill. So I'm going to have to get 25 more before I can even use the book haha.

Comment by kwjohnstone Where i've gone for every toon since HFP was released, was Zangarmarsh in hellfire, not the new one You're welcome. Side note, requires fishing to read, but not to get. Comment by td Not sure if this has been asked, but my level 16 Human Paladin got this so far she's the only one who's gotten it but I can't find the actual spell. I had assumed it would be next to the fishing spell under the professions tab but it wasn't. I looked in all of my Abilities as well.

I also saw that it required level 40, but I was able to read the book fine once I had gotten fishing. Maybe I need to be level 40 for it to show up so I can use it? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place? I'm not sure. Also, I had got the book from Catherine Leland in Stormwind. I was doing her second daily quest, to catch some kind of bass by digging up overgrown earth worms and attaching them to your line.

She gave me 2 fishing skill points and a bag of shiny things, which contained the book. Comment by anonsequitur You no longer have to fish in nodes containing debris to find a journal that teaches "find fish. The other three were found in fishing nodes that contained no debris. Of course, all journals were contained in boxes or chests fished from the nodes. Comment by jhessail found a water tight trunk while fishing a sagefish school in wetlands moss hide fen.

Comment by Septh Seems this ability was removed in 7. I'll try and see if getting another Weather-Beaten Journal helps. Comment by Alise Found this while fishing from a pool in Suramar. Comment by Butterxface I got my journal from a fishing quest from my fishing hut in my own garrison in Draenor. It was in a "bag of fishing supplies" rewarded for the quest.

Comment by crayno66 Wetlands confirmed, got a weather beaten cask after 5 casts and it contained the weather beaten journal. Comment by Lobbas Super easy to get. I went to Wetlands to try get the Journal to learn "Find Fish" for the first time. I went around the northwest coast but didn't see any wreckage. Then I went to the lake in southeastern Wetlands, where I found several "Schooner wreckage".

In the 2nd wreckage I got my Weather-Beaten Journal. Took just 5 minutes. Comment by Hoshii Came here to find where the best spot for the ship wreckage pools. Sadly, Wetland nor Hillsbrad had terrible spawn rate on wreckage. Then I remembered where I obtained my very first one when the journal first came out. It was in Blasted Lands. Found an insane amount of wreckage pools along the east coast and all the way up in Swamp of Sorrows. Great spot to find the journal. This is the quickest spot to get to IMO.

Just take the Blasted Lands portal from Main City and you don't have to travel very far at all to get started farming. Comment by Deuxbebes Daily fishing quest in UC gave me the journal. Comment by alessandrouw I came here to make a more up-to-date comment.

This is from 8. I had many alts before and I had easily found Weather-Beaten Journal in every one of them that I never bothered with guides or locations. I'm not sure if the drop was nerfed or if I just got really bad luck, but it took me more than an hour to find my first journal in 8.

My second journal on an alt came much faster after some data gathering. What I have found out so far: You only need fishing skill and nothing more you don't need a fishing rod equipped either Normal fish pools from classic and burning crusade do drop boxes, but they are much rarer than trying to fish wreckage pools Might be my luck, but it seems classic wreckage pools vanish after much fewer casts, netting less boxes So, forget Wetlands, Hillsbrad, any of those comments here.

They do have wreckage, but the respawn are so far, rare and wide. Also, it seems that those pools lasts fewer casts, which is terrible. I fished several wreckage pools without any boxes.

Your best bet right now is to just go to Zangarmarsh and circle any lake for Steam Pump Flotsam. I found more flotsams in Coilfang Reservoir lake the biggest in the middle but the others spawns as well.

The respawn is pretty decent to the point you won't have much downtime. It took me around 5 to 10 Heavy Supply Crate per journal. Much faster than going to Wetlands or some sort of remote classic map.

Save yourself from this trouble. Also, as others have already mentioned, any box you get from fishing can have a Weather-Beaten Journal if you don't already have Find Fish learned. If you already have Find Fish and you want to fish for an alt, you can fish boxes and mail to alts and they can find a Weather-Beaten Journal - just do not touch the box or try to peek inside, just mail them or trade to a friend.

It seems that "peeking inside" might delete the journal, but I have no idea about this specific iteration. Something that also works is to get an alt that has never learned Find Fish and open boxes without auto loot. When you find a journal, just close the loot window and mail the box to a friend or alt you want to learn it. Leave this alt for last when learning the spell and you are golden. Comment by travisneids Went on wild goose chase for Heavy Crates in Zangarmarsh. Found several, no luck.

Comment by ManiaKnight Found the trunk on my first cast, then found this. Pure luck. I fished from the Schooner Wreckage in Wetlands. Comment by elstohn this not a matter of luck that ive seen, simply fish pools of wreckage not pools of fish. Ive even gone so far as to stock boxes in my bank to give to lowbie alts when they hit 85 fishing skill so they dont have to go looking for themselves.

Comment by Voxi Just fished up a sealed crate containing the book, from an Oily Blackmouth pool along the Darkshore coast. Comment by moosandra Weather-Beaten Journal does not appear to drop from crates in Pandaria yet. Comment by aernath Got this from fishing my first Schooner Wreckage in Wetlands and it was inside a Watertight Trunk with level of fishing and no extra bait or special Fishing Poles used.

So I strongly recommend trying this first :. Got a journal within 10 minutes! Comment by Instructions for how to get Weather Beaten Journal within mins. This is bloody easy Go to Zangarmarsh - Serpent Lake 2. Fly around the edges of the lake and look for Steam Pump Flotsom pools a heap of wood in the water 3.

Fish crates until you get the journal or when pool fades go find another pool and keep fishing for crates. Comment by Not sure if this makes a difference but I fished several crates from zangarmarsh and wetlands, but never got the journal.

I noticed I did not have my fishing pole equipped in the weapons slot. I equipped it and the very next crate I got the book. Comment by Soreleyn Fished this up on an alt today. With fishing skill 29, no fishing pole equipped. It seems to not have any requirements to be looted. Comment by Carlo7lol Is the skill wide-account or not? Comment by heartcrash trying to fish this up on an alt, havent seen wreckage to fish from in zangarmarsh for over a half hour of searching.

Comment by Biffsterr Usually, when I want the journal on a given toon, I just go out to Stranglethorn and have it in ten minutes. Today, however, it wouldn't drop. I fished up trunks all over the vanilla areas stranglethorn, wetlands, hillsbrad, plaguelands and it wouldn't drop.

One of the two rules of no-drops is to change locations. So, I went to Zangarmarsh and I got the journal on the second wreckage spawn. The other rule: When it won't drop, you already have it; go look again. Comment by Ceracyst This book has eluded me for the last week straight. I've fished for hours in every discussed area and type of wreckage.

Countless boxed opened and nothing but random crap in them. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. This is so frustrating. Comment by Marilana I fished this up last night while running Serpentshrine Cavern on my Warrior with skill in Fishing.

It was contained within a Iron Bound Trunk that I fished up from the pool where you fight the lurker boss. Comment by Jabbathehut Got it in Bag of shiny things..

Comment by cephadex After learning the skill, to activate it go to the 'tracking' tab hourglass on your minimap, then check 'find fish. Comment by imdabest I'm trying to get the journal and i'm in zangamarsh. Is there wreckage somewhere im not seeing or did yall just fish the chest outta the lake? A Sealed Crate appears to not be one of the many containers that can contain the journal.

While you will receive many interesting and useful items, I wouldn't bother looking for the Weather-Beaten Journal to learn Find Fish on Darkmoon Island. There appears to be many more locations with positive results. Comment by I don't know if I was extremely lucky or something, but I got in a Bag of Shiny Things from the daily quest in Stormwind after the 4th try. Comment by Siallia Something is not right. No nodes anywhere from Menethil Harbor to Booty Bay. Not even Firefin Snapper nodes.

There's something missing here people. Go to Serpent Lake in Zangarmarsh. Equip your fishing pole - seems extremely important, the journal might never drop if you don't have the fishing pool equipped! Fish exactly from the pool - you will get various drops, including some boxes of "white" quality that can be opened. I got my Journal from the first wreckage pool it was located in the 3rd crate i looted from that one wreckage pool. Comment by gbits It's important that just the presence of this book in your inventory is apparently enough to prevent you from seeing additional books whether you learned it or not.

I fished up a book, looted it accidentally, and left it sitting in my bags unlearned while I fished up more crates. I checked them all - no books. Mailed them to a level 1 fishing alt - a book became visible in one of the crates. Comment by I just thought I'd help those who , after node after node , come up empty handed.

It seems the best way to get the journal is by doing fishing dailies in major cities such as SW and neutral fishing dailies such as outland and dalaran dalies. I did just one fishing daily in SW and got the journal first try. Hope this helps. Note: Results may differ for each person, but still the best way IMO. Comment by Maximustitan Just go to wetlands, fish the Sage fish pools. I got mine on 3rd pool on 1 character, and 5th on another.

Sage fish pools have like fish attempts to them and you usually get 1 trunk per pool. I spent 40mins flying around looking for floating wreckage only to find 2, which only dropped 1 trunk, which had junk.

Comment by I was a little worried looking at how old the comments were that in MoP I would have a hard time getting this from the Steam Pump Flotsam in Zangamarsh, and for some reason those pools were obnoxiously hard to find- whenever I fly past Zangarmarsh on my other toon there's always a billion debris pools, but whatever- I managed to get this out of a normal pool.

I was fishing normals to get the debris to spawn and it was in a Curious Crate from a Brackish Mixed Pool. Took about half an hour of farming, but hey, Find Fish yay!

On a side note, being new to the Zul'jin server, I've been leveling toons like mad and in the last week I've gotten the Weather-Beaten Journal twice fishing the river that runs from Western Plaguelands down to the Ruins of Southshore, I was on my way to this river when I stopped to fish the Oily Blackmouth School mentioned above.

Lower down the river are Sagefish School and as you work your way up it changes to Greater Sagefish School. I've included a screenshot of my map to show the location. Good Luck Fished for an hour in Zangarmarsh.

Lots of crates, no book. Then I went and bought a basic fishing pole. Got book in the fourth crate. Your mileage may vary, but it looks like the quest fishing pole didn't cut it. Comment by boxerd26 Dropped for me from Serpent Lake in Zangarmarsh on the 2nd or 3rd cast. First node of that type that I found yielded a crate with the journal. Not sure if they would drop the journal as well. Comment by sherr0 fished it up today at Umbrafen lake Zangarnarsh in from seam pump debris pool.

Comment by Cazabrow I got this for my main 23rd June to find stuff easier for pandaren cooking. I say this because i once fished one that literally gave me Stranglekelp every cast. I got about of my trunks from each since there are significantly less schooner wreckages than sage fish schools.

I must have misread the description because I thought that reading this would increase my fishing skill. Still, pretty cool to be able to track fish schools. I was actually wondering about that earlier. Comment by phoenix Got this today from a bag of shiny things from my fishing daily in Org. So happy because literally the night before I was reading the extreme anglin guide and was determined to get that today.

First thing I did was finish the daily I picked up the day before turned it in and this was my reward. Goin after the Sea turtle mount now! Not gonna stop until I'm besties with Pat Nagle sittin next to him havin a brew doin some extreme anglin! Comment by dreamoneup I just found one of these fishing in org, by the fishing trainer.

Comment by Monthy Think I've written about this before, but if so It now needs to be underlined even more. To get the weather-beaten Journal, the last 4 times I've with success done exactly the same routine. Take the portal to the Dark Portal. To the right of this crate is always a floating wreckage unless somebody just fished it that I fish in. It drops red crates every time, last time it dropped 4 crates on 4 throws and the journal was in the first.

Thought I would get 1 journal extra for my last char. Now I only have my eleventh char left on this realm and he will for sure also do the same routine. Comment by Oosterhouter confirmed at Zangarmarsh at the serpent lake first catch it dropped, from those wreck pools, also dropped a quest for me and some offhand. Comment by Theolol During patch 6. Incidental details: I was at level 90 with under fishing skill. Found a trunk with the book on about my 3rd wreckage pile. Comment by Endek Another toon, another adventure to discover the spell that helps to Find Fish Once again I find myself setting of on a fabled fishing adventure in the hopes of bringing home that big one, the Weather-Beaten Journal You see, everyone that sets off on this wonderous adventure shall most likely experience mixed feelings and emotions from the excitement of the first cast in unknown waters, to the frustration of hundreds of casts with no journal in sight!

But be certain of this, it shall be an adventure, short in time for some and long for others! From my personal experience of fishing this journal up for many alts over the past few years, at this moment in time, the best luck that I have had is in the waters within Zangarmarsh. Typically, I will port into Shattrath City and then make my way over to the lakes in Zangarmarsh at which time the true adventure begins I move around the lakes edges, fishing every pool of Steam Pump Flotsam and Brackish Mixed School that I come across and when I do fish up a crate, I think to myself, "what a wonderful day" and please, oh please be in this crate!

You see, on a very rare occasion, the crate that contains the Weather-Beaten Journal will fish up in only one or two casts from these pools, but if the moon is not right or your a lot like me, it could take a long, long time! So do be patient, enjoy the views, relax with some music or whatever does it for you, fish those pools, then fish them some more, check the crates and jump for joy or grin to yourself when you fish up not a fish, not trash, but that wonderful reward, the Weather-Beaten Journal.

Have fun out there. I find it very odd that being level for almost a month and fishing in various locations around the world I've only just now received this item. Where as on very other toon I got it before I was even level 20 or before fishing was level Comment by JohnEP Get to lvl fishing and fish in a low level pool until one of the watertight trunks that is fished up gives you the guide.

Any beginning pool, any type of fish, any pole, bait or no bait. You WILL get the journal. With 8 alts in the past 4 days, the quickest was 3 casts. Much more typical is pools. If you are unlucky, it could be 25 fishing levels before it finally drops. Then there was Venturous, my blood elf paladin. He went from lvl fishing to lvl fishing was doing high lvl pools tho before the dang thing dropped.

Another alt quickly caught 8 watertight trunks before the journal dropped. As a a test, I had one of the alts that had just reached level fishing use a level one pole, no bait, and fish the beginning Sagefish pools in Durotar. So get to fishing level , grab your best pole and put some bait on it does not increase your chances at all but you look cooler and find a spot with lots of low level pools to fish in.

It WILL drop, no place special needed to fish, just pools, lots of pools. Of course, wreckage pools are the best as they drop lots of crates not Darkmoon Faire ones tho. Comment by Zenjiko I just finished the Draenor fishing meta. Maybe you don't get crates from fish pools in Draenor? Comment by CWR03 This item has been slightly bugged for some time in that once you open a crate that contains a journal you will never see another one. This is especially irritating if you're farming them to sell - I accidentally opened a crate with one and deleted it, now I can never learn one on that toon.

Comment by liadg Tried to get the plans from STV but without success. If you will have look at the crates amount spawns you will see that Wetlands is the best location. Recived mine next to menethill harbor as a horde : good luck everyone!

Case in point today, I read and reread suggestions on how and where to get the journal. After a couple of fruitless hours, I happened across someone's comment that you had to equip a fishing pole in order to get the journal. I hadn't the whole time I was hunting it. I equipped it, and two wreckage piles later, there it was. So, regardless of where you fish I got mine in old Blasted Lands along the southern shore , make sure you've got your pole equipped.

Happy hunting. Comment by Xyzetta I got it today. In the end I had looted around 10 Trunks before I finally got the journal. Have fun fishing! Comment by clerkboy I've read several comments posted here and I believe I can save many people time and trouble.

Yes you can receive this as a daily fishing quest reward, but it takes longer You can go out on your own and fish this up. The fastest and easiest way to do that is by fishing pools You DON'T need a pole. You DON'T need lures or fancy fishing equipment. The only thing that you must have as the tool tip on the journal says is your fishing skill at or higher. The journal will be contained inside one of the trunks or crates you fish up out of the pools, so don't delete or overlook any of those types of items.

I just took my new lvl 60 DK out to fish this up and deliberately did not use any fishing gear to catch it. I was in the Western Plaguelands fishing around Darrowmere Lake going from pool to pool, skipping over any wreckage pools on purpose It took about 8 pools before fishing it up. All my other toons have this journal too. Only a few got it by quest reward. Most of the others I just took out fishing to get the book.

After reading comments here I wanted to test it out to see if you needed to do all the other things that some are saying you have to do Just go out and fish.

I know this will save many of you a lot of effort. Happy Fishing! Got mine after casts and 23 trunks. Comment by gorePS since there are so less of the wreckage nods its not worth only fishing them. On the second open, Weather-Beaten Journal. It may be required to fish wreckage, but it seems to help. Good Luck. Comment by rachiepoo Just acquired on an alt with level 72 fishing.

Fished up in an Oily Blackmouth pool near Ruins of Auberdine. It was inside an Iron Bound Trunk. You don't need to have your fishing to to fish this item up. Took about 4 pools before I found it. Comment by Synja13 You can also get this item by doing daily fishing quests at your Garrison. Comment by drpimento I looked up "find fish" here and some of the comments said that extra journals could be mailed to alts; untrue. They are bind on pickup. Also a lot of comments recommended the wreckage pools in Wetlands.

Yesterday I spent several hours scouring all the spots shown on the map here and found two wreckage pools yielding zero journals. Again today, ditto. So I went to Stranglethorn. Went up the west coast, found a few wreckage pools and about the 4th one had the journal.

I'd also tried several mixed species pools. In the past those occasionally yielded a trunk, but not this time - mostly fish and misc. Comment by Pizza Confirmed: This still does work in patch 7. Just got it from a Pack of Fishing Supplies from Garrison daily. Did something change and now its in the daily fishing reward, alone? Comment by Gargler Demon Hunters will be delighted to know that this can be fished up in Legion fishing pools.

Comment by Navare Just fished up the journal the journal itself, not in a container from a fishing pool in Suramar. No fishing pole equipped, fishing skill was 30 at time of catch still requires skill to learn, however. I'm unsure how common this is in the Broken Isles as up until this point I've only fished on a character that already has the find fish ability. Will edit later if I find it on other characters. My fishing skill was I did not have any fishing equipment equipped including a fishing pole.

This was my first cast in the Broken Isles on this character. It was probably just good luck, but I like this kind of luck! Comment by drewbster Looks like the requirement of having Fishing at to use this was removed with Legion. Comment by VarienBlueblood I found that the river around Andorral is a very good place to farm this if you're looking for it.

Just fly along the river and there are a lot of wreckage pools. Most likely, you will get the book before you get to the end of the river into the Eastern Plaguelands. When I did this, I know that I got it within 5 or 10 minutes.

I hope this was helpful! Comment by dashfiss No point looking for debris anymore, that's a complete waste of time. Simply fish any pools you come across while going about your ordinary business any continent as these have just as good drop chance now as pools of debris. Broken Isles have plenty, but whatever continent, it will not take very long ;. Comment by mychatposts Confirmed that it can be found in Lost Isles.

Fished mine up from a black barracuda pool off Suramar at level 7 fishing. Comment by eberkain Just fished up from the huge queensfish WQ in Aszuna. Comment by lgencouch wetlands is the place to go. See chat, 2 watertight trunks in one pool. I always go there. Never more than 20 mins till i get my find fish. Comment by Ralkuth I have the journal for 5 of my characters now. Found it in a school of oily blackmouth.

Comment by Found mind at the elemental plataue fishing from pure waters, before i actually read it, i found another in another water pond. Comment by Retail This has a chance to drop from chests fished up anywhere. Higher level chests found in higher level areas have a higher chance of containing the book.

Theres no reason to post where you got it. Comment by Miyari In addition to obviously tracking schools of fish, Find Fish will also show the locations of pools of Pure Water in Outland, from which Mote of Water can be fished and Steam Pump Flotsam from which you can fish a variety of items. Comment by Deadheads This item is also possible to recieve from the daily fishing quest outside shat.

Comment by Thottbot just found the journal in a trunk i got from fishing : lucky me. Comment by Thottbot my wife just found out that this doesn't apply to nodes of Tastyfish during the Fishing Tournament, that is a real let-down.

Comment by Thottbot You can find it in Trunks found while fishing, which is a great reason to fish up all Floating Debris that you spot. Comment by Thottbot With the latest patch this should locate Tasty Fish.

I found this three times in the river east of Tarren Mill. The first time you find it you see the recipe. Each time after it shows itself as a chest that you can open but with nothing to loot.

If you get a chest with nothing to loot, give to an alt or sell on trade channel. I Love Fishing. Comment by Thottbot While I was reading the previous posts I was fishing in a mudfish pool in Nagrand and pulled out a curious crate. Inside was a Weather-Beaten Journal. Comment by Thottbot Caught in a water tight trunk while fishing sagefish schools in Stonetalon :-D. Comment by Thottbot I got fish finder in desolace from floting debris.

Comment by Thottbot I find this ''find fish'' at stonetalon mountains i fish a chest i open it and there is a fish finder! Comment by Thottbot The journal can be found in the bag reward from the daily fishing quest. That's where I first saw it. Comment by Thottbot Found it while fishing for Sagefish for an alt in Hillsbrad. Very handy to help me do it faster now. Made me a lot of gold using the skill!
