Thank you for the guide! I have been looking around for how to do this quest and this has been the most straight forward and easy to understand guide I have seen yet. Much thanks!
two tips i would add. 1. each bait is a unique item. as such if you are only able to buy two of the three needed for a specific zone, have the two in your bag and continue fishing pools in that zone. since you will have the two, the third one is the only one that will be able to be fished up. 2. the sleeping murloc fish can be annoying to run around and pick up. if you have flying however you can land on the top of a pillar or something of the like and wake the murloc, he will stay in the confined space and drop all of his fish nice and neatly for you. happy hunting anglers.
Thank you so much for this, I didn't realize how close I was to having it, I watched this video this afternoon and got my fishing rod tonight. I love how your videos bring the fun back into the game when it starts feeling stagnant for me, much appreciated!
A tip you might have forgotten or missed, fish up in Warlords of Draenor for the fishing training to 700. Makes a quality of life difference for the training portion.
I'm 12/12 done for my army of alts. I actually have 15 level 110, but only care about 12 of them, the rest are Horde alts and leveled Allied race for Alliance.
It really should be. On my 'fishing' toon, the achievement alone just took me about 12 hours to do, 1200g in bait, and that was already with 800 fishing and a Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. There is NO WAY I will do this on another toon. No... FREAKING... WAY. They need to allow you to catch like... 5 Rare fish for the achievement on alts if they want to make this alt-friendly.
Just got mine a few weeks ago thanks to your videos! They're super motivational and makes the grind a lot easier. thanks for the help and keep up the good work! :D
I've had this on my mage for a while but I've just switched mains so might need to get it again. i wish it was account bound would make life easier lol
You're awesome! The first thing I do is up all of my professions and fishing is one of my favorites. I just came back after a 4+ year hiatus and my fishing is 800 but had no idea about this Underlight Angler and what it does!!! Time to grind this out!
No longer needed to log out in order to fish up the pearl. Fishing lures are unique and you need 3 per zone with 1 per rare fish per zone. I recommend catching / buying each lure prior to using in order to cut down on time spent fishing and catching lures that you no longer need. There is an ideal path for leveling the artifact rod that i would highly recommend as well utilizing either the stormrays or queenfish talents first (I recommend the stormrays).
If you're using the one that makes specific pools appear, like the Vrykul Signet or the Ghostfish Brooch, and have low fishing skill, fish for the whole duration in those pools. You can get TONS of fishing skill off of one buff, and will likely fish up the lure again in the pools. I got one of my toons from 375 fishing to the cap in an hour or so.
Thank you! I finally got it yesterday and have unlocked most of the traits. It's freaking awesome :D I made a video of me having fun getting it and am recommending your video in it if people want to get it, as you explain it so well
Hazel, I haven't played WoW since Pandaria, and fishing was always one of my very favorite parts of playing (seriously, hundreds of hours). Now that I've watched this, I kind of want to come back to try all the new fishing stuff. And the rod is hilarious and awesome.
if just like to add you can equip the rod while mounted without getting dismounted and you still get the speed buff from it. good for short trips through water although far less useful now that flying exists in legion zones.
Watched this a 2nd time since I’d forgotten all about it. Not this time. I’m off to start this crazy train and get my fancy-schmancy new fishing rod! Thanks for the video and tips!
darn it! I've been putting this off for such a long time. now i've seen your video i have to log on and go farm this... your guide is just too simple and well put together for me to resist!!!! /thanks
I've been thinking about fishing, did it alot in WoD because I got bored that expansion but I never seem to set time aside in Legion for fishing, too much other stuff to do but I really want that artifact fishing pole now after watching this video, I think I'm gonna have to no life it this weekend!
Have this pole on multiple toons, GREAT tool even with flying out. Can confirm all features work in pvp. Only thing thats kinda blah is the water walking doesnt work while mounted, but you still swim super speed while mounted.
I remember when fishing was first introduced in wow. I always hoped it would become something really interesting. Well, it looks like it has and that's great. I haven't played wow in years and fancy giving it a go, just for this item. Looks like great fun.
Thank you so much for all the videos you do. I just got Bigger Fish to Fry and am logged out for 10 minutes (i set a time, lol). Hopefully I will soon have the Underlight Angler, thanks to you. ;)
hey @hazelnuttygames is this still relevant? or worth it? is there anyway you can put out a new video on this or an update on how to get it since the changes to professions in bfa?
Just recently found your channel for pet guides and loving it. now even better with fishing. Thank you! have subscribed.... (an avid Hazel fan for lyfe now)
Wow I love this!!! I need it already have the 800 skill on 2 or 3 characters, I got lot of ancient mana from fishing and other cool stuff not just cooking mats :)
Thank you SO MUCH for making this...such a huge help! I didn't even realize this Angler existed til my husband sent your video to me! You and I would be great friends...both females who love WOW, I love fishing to relax from life, and I hugged both my dogs AND made a tea when you told me to. ;)
Do you know if you have to get the achievement Bigger Fish to Fry on each toon? I have tried to get the Luminous Pearl quest now for several hours and nothing. When I achieved the BF2F on a different server, I got the LP quest in 5 minutes.
I actually have 2 underlight anglers already but this came on autoplay. Idk if you've caught on to this by now but your comment about not paying 500g or more for bait got my attention because I've been selling bait for the achievement from 200g to 26,000g per piece. Once your fishing artifact is maxed out it's worth keeping arcane lures on you when fishing just to sell these.
The shark you need to throw on the ground can be gotten from fishing WQs as well - it's been a reward on my Realm (AD EU) at least once, and my fishing skill is only about level 320.
I really enjoyed fishing before legion and this was actually heaven for me. I got my angler before i got 110 i think :) and yea still today its worth getting fish and selling either the fish or making the actual food. I really hope they keep that thing for the future.
You forgot the most important part of it all. To grind AP for the fishing rod you should keep one rare lure of each in Stormheim and only use the ring bait. Thap makes ghost manta ray pools appear and each fish gives AP. Since you have the inventory full of baits, only the ring will keep appearing, making it possible to refish for hours without leaving the zone. And ofc you should use arcane lure.
on my server the baits all range in the 2-3k range each...ack. Gonna procrastinate on this incredible grind....the thing that puts it over the top is the fact that AFTER you fish up a kazillion rare fish you're supposed to continue for months to max your artifact with more rare fish...definitely a great way to get gold for now though, people who haven't finished nomi need them badly for the recipe cooking orders!
btw you can skip out on buying bait just use arcane bait thingy after 15 ish minutes of fishing for drowned mana youll have around 50 mana and one arcane lure is 1 mana and the arcane lures fish up baits for you
It’s awesome the length that Blizz goes in order for us to use fishing.... cannot be bothered with all this work for what at the end, fish?!?!?...will be doing it in 1 or 2 expansions later on if I have absolutely nothing to do.
Great video but just remind that high likely they will remove the water walking whenever a expansion comes out. It's not a question of if, but about when...
It is, can confirm everything except ports to the nearest nodes. It took my complete achiev and get quest for fishinghook in patch 8.1 about 7 hours and hour (bought baits) for water walking and shark form underwater swimming. I really like this fishinghook
i found for a brand new toon that i want to get this on its best to sit in a zone until you catch all 3 rares keeping them till you are completed with the ach the fish sell well if you dont need the skill points at the end (10g each i believe). if possible fish off the coast of each zone so you have the chance at the ocean fish along with the zone specific ones if you are unable to max fishing before you finish the ach then only use enough of your saved up rares to max out fishing.
honestly i leveled all my new toons (i lvled during prelaunch invasions) from 1-800 this way and i did wind up selling some of them. now if your bags fill up obviously go ahead and use a few just to clear some space.
figured id mention this for people who pvp the swim speed buff affects mounts in water and still gives u water breathing and for example twin peaks the swim speed buff is NOT affected by the flag carry speed decrease as of when i posted this.. even in rated BGs ive tested it personaly and the water walk functions in BGs and rated BGs so its even handy for pvp for a few of the BGs arathi basin twin peaks isle of gilneas strand of the ancients maby alterac valley (dont remember if AV has water areas or not) and of course world pvp XD killed a few people on my mage from the water with greater pyro XD
This week we get Bfa prepatch and this is the only item in artifacts what have skills and buffs! Im very happy and thanks to Blizzard! :D You can skill up the treats in Dalaran with catch rare fish in Broken Isles and get ap to drop in the water. Happy Fishing! :D
Ooooh I didn't know these facts, I've just gotten the artifact fishing pole a couple of days ago and have been struggling with the sha'leth rep as when I tried it I used the raft and it kept either disappearing or I wasn't able to click on the lure when I had caught something which was really irritating 😡😡, thank you soooo much for the facts though I will definitely have to try them out over the weekend myself 🙂🙂
Hi, love your videos they are great for even beginners such as myself. I have fishing to 800, but do not have a chieve for Bigger Fish to Fry? I know I am missing something...?
@Hazel, Is there any news whether we get to keep the underlight angler and its traits in BFA? I wouldnt like to grind out all the traits and not have the perks in BFA
I've had this thing for quite a while now on my main. The swim speed/fish form makes doing some WQ a breeze & I miss it like crazy while playing on one of my alts.
Nothing official but word on the street is that 7.2.5 is bringing new artifact skins for the pole IF you have it maxxed out. I'm currently two points from maxing mine out and it is a nightmare. I'm going to try to get the pole on a character that doesn't have 800 fishing. I'll let you know if you can fish the pearl without 800 fishing.
Thank you for the guide! I have been looking around for how to do this quest and this has been the most straight forward and easy to understand guide I have seen yet. Much thanks!

I've been looking for a brief, concise guide to this for some time and this was PERFECT. Thank you for putting this together!
Thank you so much for this, I didn't realize how close I was to having it, I watched this video this afternoon and got my fishing rod tonight. I love how your videos bring the fun back into the game when it starts feeling stagnant for me, much appreciated!
i know I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Trenton Rafael flixportal :P
@Bryce Eden thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Trenton Rafael glad I could help :D
Thank you for this guide, just received my new fishing pole because of this. I never would have known it existed if not for this video.
Use this macro
#showtooltip Fishing
/equip Underlight Angler
/cast Fishing
It will equip your artifact and cast fishing in 1 key
Gonzalo Larraín Why aren't you top comment?
Poor visibility, hope my macro helps
Tosse Kling That wasn't really nice of you...
Gabbe, It wasn't nice of him but totally expected when you realize that he left the 'r' off the end of his first name. ))
Thanks for making this video. I didn't even know this pole existed. I followed your steps and got myself one and fishing 800, woot!
A tip you might have forgotten or missed, fish up in Warlords of Draenor for the fishing training to 700. Makes a quality of life difference for the training portion.
Thank you! That's the best, most relevant and most straight to the point video I saw.
3:08 unless you are on my realm and people are selling them for like 4K+
Way over 4k for some, yep
"not of these should be expensive", yeah... about that :)
Cheapest one of these on my server... is 11k. X_x
You also cant use them in any zone as the video suggests.
I wish this was a do once kind of thing but doing it on more than 1 character is just too much
I'm getting it for my main.
I feel you! And I'm in the habit of switching main every other expansion
This item is probably gonna get nerf like the loot-a-rang as soon as BFA goes live.
I'm 12/12 done for my army of alts. I actually have 15 level 110, but only care about 12 of them, the rest are Horde alts and leveled Allied race for Alliance.

Thank you! Picked up mine last night after a few hours. Love your videos, thanks again! :)
24 hours from 1 to 800 fishing and now on the artifac, great thanks
Sweet guide! Just started the WoW adventure! And there seems to be alot of mount you can get with Fishing, cant wait to start that!

Great content! Awesome guide!!! thanks so much for making it. You are one of my favorite WoW content makers! Keep up the great work!
Well since my guild needs to restock its fish supplies, might as well get this! Thanks Hazel for the handy video!
Most comprehensive guide I've ever watched. And so professional...!!! I'll be checking your channel for more. 😊👍
I absolutely love mine, the swim speed buff is awesome! The waterwalking is cool for fishing up schools that are oddly placed.
Got mine tonight. Tweeted you a Pic TY so much Hazel!

Does the barrel feature only work in the broken isles??
hey @hazelnuttygames is this still relevant? or worth it? is there anyway you can put out a new video on this or an update on how to get it since the changes to professions in bfa?
i cant find the achievment anymore so im in doubt
I just saw this video today and the prices for the bait was outrageous!
Excellent video, and very helpful, if only any of this bait was in the AH.
Just recently found your channel for pet guides and loving it. now even better with fishing. Thank you! have subscribed.... (an avid Hazel fan for lyfe now)
photosensitivity. its a thing sadly. thanks tho? xD
Do you know how this will work with artifact weapons going away?
Wow I love this!!! I need it already have the 800 skill on 2 or 3 characters, I got lot of ancient mana from fishing and other cool stuff not just cooking mats :)

Absolutely perfect tutorial!! Ty from Brazil!!
I got the underlight angler today, july 2020, patch 8.3, so it is still obtainable if anyone is wondering.

can we even level this at all now to get all the perks? or is this just a waste of time to get???
Thank you for this guide :) Although I knew how to get it, this gave me the motivation to finish the achievement :)
so cool!
how long is this entire thing gonna take, from picking up fishing for the very first time, to getting the rod finished?
Is this still worth getting or did it lose all its abilities like the other artifacts?
It is still the best fishing rod in the game to date.
something to add with the fishing pole equipped will increase Mount speed even underwater
Awesome Rod! Thank you.
Did this in a couple of days.. actually saved my sub as it kept my interest.. guess blizz gets my Duckets for another month
Great video but just remind that high likely they will remove the water walking whenever a expansion comes out.
It's not a question of if, but about when...
Thanks Hazel!!! Ps thanks for slowing your talking down a tad 👍🏼
Will we be keeping the Underlight when we lose our weapons?
StoneheadPeter713 I'm pretty sure they said that this will be the only one we keep using. Been a while since I've read that tho.
This presentation is great. Wish I saw it before I got my Angler!
Is this still current and do the buffs still work?
It is, can confirm everything except ports to the nearest nodes. It took my complete achiev and get quest for fishinghook in patch 8.1 about 7 hours and hour (bought baits) for water walking and shark form underwater swimming. I really like this fishinghook

Marrisa83 what fishing level should i start doing the achievement with? im at like 160
J J that's fine. I was lower when I started and was 800 by the time I fished up my last rare.
honestly i leveled all my new toons (i lvled during prelaunch invasions) from 1-800 this way and i did wind up selling some of them. now if your bags fill up obviously go ahead and use a few just to clear some space.
figured id mention this for people who pvp the swim speed buff affects mounts in water and still gives u water breathing and for example twin peaks the swim speed buff is NOT affected by the flag carry speed decrease as of when i posted this.. even in rated BGs ive tested it personaly and the water walk functions in BGs and rated BGs
so its even handy for pvp for a few of the BGs arathi basin twin peaks isle of gilneas strand of the ancients maby alterac valley (dont remember if AV has water areas or not) and of course world pvp XD killed a few people on my mage from the water with greater pyro XD
archer thank you for this comment!! Guess I'll start fishing again 😆
This week we get Bfa prepatch and this is the only item in artifacts what have skills and buffs! Im very happy and thanks to Blizzard! :D You can skill up the treats in Dalaran with catch rare fish in Broken Isles and get ap to drop in the water. Happy Fishing! :D
Ayy You sold me on the water walking part. No more draenic water walking pots anymore ;D
I am death knight... if water does not cooperate with my feets... freeze!
your point being...?
The shark and water walking does work in pvp, used it the other day.
Is maxed out expansion specific fishing skill needed with the current game state?
Ooooh I didn't know these facts, I've just gotten the artifact fishing pole a couple of days ago and have been struggling with the sha'leth rep as when I tried it I used the raft and it kept either disappearing or I wasn't able to click on the lure when I had caught something which was really irritating 😡😡, thank you soooo much for the facts though I will definitely have to try them out over the weekend myself 🙂🙂
Hi, love your videos they are great for even beginners such as myself. I have fishing to 800, but do not have a chieve for Bigger Fish to Fry? I know I am missing something...?
You forgot to mention one of the most important traits. You can move close to mobs, helps in fishing but also world quest when you wanna sneak.
Just got mine 5 minutes ago. Sadly it's just a +15 fishing pole now. Looks cool though.
@Hazel, Is there any news whether we get to keep the underlight angler and its traits in BFA? I wouldnt like to grind out all the traits and not have the perks in BFA
Really wish that Bigger Fish to Fry was an account wide achievement. Oh well, guess I will have to start fishin on my hunter now
Grab some arcane lures on one char, fish up barrels and send the baits over to another char you want
I never ever liked that dull boringly fishing but il definitley get this angler for his looks and usefullness.
ty for this nice guide hazel ^^
"500 or more gold just skip it" okay so i have to skip every bait it seems, cause all of them are way over 5k
Ditto
Hazel....this was awesome and very well done I will be fishing tonight
great vid, you just forgot one thing, great design correct, and the hidden appearance is coming in 7.2.5 and it is even better
I want the Angler to be useful in BfA ...I mean the quick fishing options. I wonder how Bliz could keep this one rolling along?
that landshark almost killed me... had to stand back a few feet an wait for my health to go up.. swap your weapons when you fight it..
Why would you not have your artifact equipped?
great video :) but can you tell me if the underlight angler will continue to work (water walking, swimspeed and so on) in BFA ?
Where do you I get it from? The vendor named Marcia Chase in Dalaran?
To get the forms and such though and water walking do you have to have the weapon equipped? if you do that kinda sucks
Most of the lures are crazy expensive on Dalaran, many in the 2,000g-3,500g each. Many, many arcane lures are in my future.
I've had this thing for quite a while now on my main.
The swim speed/fish form makes doing some WQ a breeze & I miss it like crazy while playing on one of my alts.
I mean, had the patience to get the Margoss mount, so I've also got a bunch of mana already stocked up, also already have like five baits left
Nothing official but word on the street is that 7.2.5 is bringing new artifact skins for the pole IF you have it maxxed out. I'm currently two points from maxing mine out and it is a nightmare. I'm going to try to get the pole on a character that doesn't have 800 fishing. I'll let you know if you can fish the pearl without 800 fishing.
I love the pole, Makes me so much money while I wait for a queue to pop.
Not sure if something has changed but i'm on a fairly popular/populated server and there wasn't a SINGLE Bait from your list available on AH
