What fishing brings up
Fish, other food and cooking ingredients that the records list as fished, and trade goods that come only from fishing, by their lowest buyout here. The data does not hold fishing skill, pools or catch rates, and names a zone only for the few catches filed under one, so there is no value per cast and no zone ranking here. Cloth, potions and leather from fished crates are left out.

Where this comes from
Auction prices are the lowest buyouts and the number of listings on each auction house, from Blizzard’s auction house data, read every hour; bids are left out. Which nodes exist, the skill each needs, the zones they are in, what a gather or a skin gives and how often, creature levels and zone level ranges come from data collected from the live game, which can lag it and counts earlier Classic play as well as Forever’s. What a vendor pays, item types, the Skinning rule and smelting recipes come from the WoW Forever game files. Nothing here knows how many nodes or creatures a zone has or how fast they come back.
