How to Fish for Trunks in World of Warcraft

Fishing can turn into quite a profitable career for a midlevel World of Warcraft character. Fishing is a secondary skill, meaning that it will not interfere with the two professions a character can take in the game. Fishing is learned by a fishing trainer and needs a fishing pole. Baubles and lures can up your skill, along with specialty items and some enchantments. Some fish bring high gold on the auction house, but if you want a quicker and easier method for getting gold on World of Warcraft, you'll need to learn about trunk fishing.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• fishing skill
• fishing pole
• high enough level to survive the area you are fishing

1. World of Warcraft has pools where you can fish for a specific fish or item. These pools are animated swirls of water that are darker and easily recognized. You will have to keep casting your fishing line until it gets inside this swirled circle of the pool. Landing outside of it will not give you what the pool is for. You are looking for pools called "Floating Debris" or "Floating Wreckage". These have crates and boxes in them. You may get some other items, but generally you will get a trunk out of these pools. There are four types of trunks: a Tightly Sealed Trunk, a Watertight Trunk, an Iron Bound Trunk, and a Mithril Bound Trunk. What you will find inside will vary according to the trunk that you fish out. The types of trunks will also be determined by the level of the area you are fishing in.
2. Trunks contain money, potions, recipes, cloth, leather, and some armor and weapons. Not all trunks will contain multiple items; some will just have a single item. However some will have many things inside. I fished out an iron bound trunk that had 8 items in it once. It is all the luck of the draw. These items are handy for leatherworkers and tailors that would rather fish than kill for their basics. Also, it is good for anyone wishing to make a fortune off the auction house. These bolts of cloth and the stacks of higher grade leather sell for quite a bit, and in a matter of a couple of hours you can have quite a few golds worth of items.
