Even if you\u2019re not a fisherman, you can still farm the Big Iron as a reliable gold-making source, considering the pole usually sells exceptionally well on the Auction House.\u00a0Especially now during phase one of the Season of Discovery, the Big Iron Fishing Pole is easily the best fishing rod in the game. An extra 20 points to your Fishing skill will practically transform you from an everyday fisherman to Captain Ahab when you\u2019re out there.\u00a0 There are currently no better fishing rods on the market in WoW Classic than the Big Iron Fishing Pole. But if you want to get this item for yourself, you\u2019re going to have to be prepared for a bit of a grind. Plus, since that grind is designed for levels above the maximum level bracket in the first phase of SoD, it could definitely present a bit of a challenge.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how you can earn the Big Iron Fishing Pole in WoW Classic, specifically during phase one of the Season of Discovery.\u00a0 Where to farm the Big Iron Fishing Pole in WoW Classic The Big Iron Fishing Pole can only be found in one spot on Azeroth: a remote area off the coast of Desolace. Since Desolace is a zone that contains enemies in the level range of 30 to 40, it\u2019s going to be tough to traverse this zone, let alone farm one of its most hostile areas, without encountering some relatively tough-to-fight mobs. With the level cap in phase one of SoD sitting at 25, you\u2019re going to be outmatched if you encounter any enemies in Desolace while trying to grab the Big Iron Fishing Pole.\u00a0Be ready to die, and be ready to invest a lot of time into getting this pole. Still, if you\u2019re a brave enough soul who thinks they can successfully snag the pole while in this hostile environment, you\u2019re going to want to hunker down and be prepared for a lengthy grind.\u00a0 The Big Iron Fishing Pole can be found in shellfish traps in the underwater area south of Shadowprey Village in Desolace. This area, called the Sar\u2019theris Strand, can be found approximately near coordinates [23, 77]. To get the pole, head to that area and open as many shellfish traps as you can until one of them yields the Big Iron.\u00a0 The Makrura in the area not only patrol around the waters of coastal Desolace, but they can also spawn from the Shellfish traps. You are actually far more likely to catch a Makrura than the fishing pole, as it has an incredibly low drop rate. Before setting out to this underwater destination, I recommend you bring along several Potions of Water Breathing. These Shellfish traps are fairly far down, but you also might need to wait underwater for patrolling Makrura to pass. If you are not going in a group, I also suggest you mark nearby mobs so you can keep an eye on any potential interrupts. For heavily mobile classes, also make sure you have any movement spells available in case a Makrura spawns on your location. You must be incredibly careful in this area as there are plenty of crawlers and crustacean enemies that roam along the ocean floor who can easily kill your character. Furthermore, there\u2019s a chance the shellfish traps can contain an enemy that will spawn at random, putting you directly in harm\u2019s way. Most of the mobs in the Sar\u2019theris Strand in Desolace are between levels 33 and 36, meaning you\u2019re going to be fighting for your life more often than not. Going for the pole now is definitely an intrepid task, but it'll be well worth it if you\u2019re able to get your hands on it this early in the Classic season.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-20-154255.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1075406"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1075671,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406\/revisions\/1075671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1075438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1075406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1075406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Even if you\u2019re not a fisherman, you can still farm the Big Iron as a reliable gold-making source, considering the pole usually sells exceptionally well on the Auction House.\u00a0Especially now during phase one of the Season of Discovery, the Big Iron Fishing Pole is easily the best fishing rod in the game. An extra 20 points to your Fishing skill will practically transform you from an everyday fisherman to Captain Ahab when you\u2019re out there.\u00a0 There are currently no better fishing rods on the market in WoW Classic than the Big Iron Fishing Pole. But if you want to get this item for yourself, you\u2019re going to have to be prepared for a bit of a grind. Plus, since that grind is designed for levels above the maximum level bracket in the first phase of SoD, it could definitely present a bit of a challenge.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how you can earn the Big Iron Fishing Pole in WoW Classic, specifically during phase one of the Season of Discovery.\u00a0 Where to farm the Big Iron Fishing Pole in WoW Classic The Big Iron Fishing Pole can only be found in one spot on Azeroth: a remote area off the coast of Desolace. Since Desolace is a zone that contains enemies in the level range of 30 to 40, it\u2019s going to be tough to traverse this zone, let alone farm one of its most hostile areas, without encountering some relatively tough-to-fight mobs. With the level cap in phase one of SoD sitting at 25, you\u2019re going to be outmatched if you encounter any enemies in Desolace while trying to grab the Big Iron Fishing Pole.\u00a0Be ready to die, and be ready to invest a lot of time into getting this pole. Still, if you\u2019re a brave enough soul who thinks they can successfully snag the pole while in this hostile environment, you\u2019re going to want to hunker down and be prepared for a lengthy grind.\u00a0 The Big Iron Fishing Pole can be found in shellfish traps in the underwater area south of Shadowprey Village in Desolace. This area, called the Sar\u2019theris Strand, can be found approximately near coordinates [23, 77]. To get the pole, head to that area and open as many shellfish traps as you can until one of them yields the Big Iron.\u00a0 The Makrura in the area not only patrol around the waters of coastal Desolace, but they can also spawn from the Shellfish traps. You are actually far more likely to catch a Makrura than the fishing pole, as it has an incredibly low drop rate. Before setting out to this underwater destination, I recommend you bring along several Potions of Water Breathing. These Shellfish traps are fairly far down, but you also might need to wait underwater for patrolling Makrura to pass. If you are not going in a group, I also suggest you mark nearby mobs so you can keep an eye on any potential interrupts. For heavily mobile classes, also make sure you have any movement spells available in case a Makrura spawns on your location. You must be incredibly careful in this area as there are plenty of crawlers and crustacean enemies that roam along the ocean floor who can easily kill your character. Furthermore, there\u2019s a chance the shellfish traps can contain an enemy that will spawn at random, putting you directly in harm\u2019s way. Most of the mobs in the Sar\u2019theris Strand in Desolace are between levels 33 and 36, meaning you\u2019re going to be fighting for your life more often than not. Going for the pole now is definitely an intrepid task, but it'll be well worth it if you\u2019re able to get your hands on it this early in the Classic season.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-20-154255.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1075406"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1075671,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075406\/revisions\/1075671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1075438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1075406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1075406"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1075406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
