Cooking is a different matter. It is like all the other skills besides fishing, once you do so many of the little stuff, it turns gray to you and you no longer get skill-ups from cooking it. Thus, while you could stay in the n00b zone to catch the 700+ fish to get your fishing skill to 225, you would not be able to follow it with cooking skill ups after lvl 120, which is where Longjaw Mud Snapper (the highest fish you can catch in the beginning zones) turns gray for you. Now before I go any further, please understand that while it sounds like a fishing class, the cooking is, for me, a necessary adjunct! If you are going to fish, you are leaving serious money on the table by not cooking them up! Each of the races has a local starting fish-pond (or sea, as the case may be).Undead: It is the lake east of Brill. Taurens: The lake just north of Bloodhoof Village. Orcs, Trolls: The sea just south of Sen’jin Village. Humans: Start fishing near Goldshire. Dwarves, Gnomes: North of Brownall Village in western Dun Morogh Night Elves: Can choose the lake south of Dolenaar, the waters in and around Darnassus, or the sea near the boat dock in Rut’Theran Village.
