Easy fishing money while you sleep/afk

[brynz0rz]

Kind of a repost but updated.

Requirements

1. Level 70 with a flying mount. (Or if your a druid flight form)
2. Maxed (Or close) Fishing.
3. Depending on how long your going to be afk, you'll need the appropriate amount of lure, if your going to be afk for roughly 10 hours you'll need 60 lure as it lasts 10 minutes., (Also you will -need- to get this lure to stand a chance at catching them just about 100%. They are cheap to make
4. These two recipes and the cooking skill to cook them., Golden Fish Sticks and Feltail Delight or a friend thats willing to cook them for you.
5. A fishbot, I suggest using PiroxFishBot I haven't been banned using it yet but use it at your own risk. You can use a fishbot of your own choice. Its easy to set up, just read in the thread. This also has a built in lure refresher which I use.
6. This add-on called Lootfilter.
7. The ability to understand and use the term ''AFK''
8. A small understanding of how to use the Auction House.
9. A good fishing rod, an easily obtained one you can get from this quest.

Guide

Ok, so you've done the above and your like ''WTF WHERE IS MY GOLD YOU GODDAMN LEECHER''. Don't worry, it shall come in due time. First things first, have you installed the lootfilter add on? Have you got your lure for the amount of time to go afk? Have you emptied your backpacks as fully as you can except for your fishing rod, flying mount and lure? If so, lets begin.

1. Fly to Lake Ere'Noru in Terokkar Forest, just South East of Allerian Stronghold.
2. Find a discreet spot of the lake (Very south is good)
3. Set up your lootfilter add-on to not loot ''Barbed Gill Trout'', ''Enormous Barbed Gill Trout'' and ''Huge Spotted Feltail'' as there a waste of inventory space and don't sell well. Also set it to open ''Curious Crate'' and ''Inscribed Scrollcase''. Further details on the lootfilter website.
4. Assuming your not a moron and have set your fishbot up accordingly, (I usually watch it cast a few times to check if everythings in order), start your fishbot up and start to make money. \o/

Tips

1. Its smart to set a really convincing Do Not Disturb message (/DND),
2. If you plan on doing several afk's in a row, its smart to mail yourself some lure before hand and to collect it from whichever outpost is nearest to you, alliance is Allerian Stronghold and horde is Stonebreaker Hold, here you can mail the fish to yourself (or a friend who can possibly cook it for you).
3. I know this sounds stupid but try not to attract attention to your character, for example, don't wear gear that is fit for a level one, otherwise some wiseguy will be like, ''OH MY GOD A GUY IN CRAP GEAR, LOLOL ZERG HIM GUYS''. Result = dead character and nomore fish while your afk. If your gear is generally crap, (Just dinged 70 or what not) then it might not be the same. My character is in full season 2 and some season 3 and looks massively terrifying so that helps me.
4. DON'T TELL ANYBODY WHAT YOU DO. If you are going to message them, make sure you that you don't do it INGAME or any public IRC channels etc. Have some common sense .
5. Don't go afk for -very long- amounts of time. If you do, you will cause alot of suspicion. Suspicion = ban. Ban = :confused::confused::confused::confused:
6. Be smart when selling fish on the AH and in trade. Selling lots of fish at once = suspicion! Also, the price for the feltail delights is about 10g a stack on my realm, and about 25-30g for a stack of Fish sticks, while I bot when I sleep I make about... 600g+, depending what I catch. Screenshot of one nights result (I didn't have enough lure and didn't have lootfilter on at the time) is located here
7. ????????
8. PROFIT!

Enjoy! If theres anything that needs explaining a little or typo's or whatever please let me know and i'll edit them.

[DRHHaloGod]

[brynz0rz]

Sorry I forgot to mention, but the PiroxFishBot has a built in lure refresher on the options that I use, works fine for me. Updating OP.

already knew about this but thx for sharing

[Fatjoe]

thats awsome, +rep from me

[yellowbear]

Great guide. Ive used the spots so far and no problems!

[akyuratyper]

great guide but i have 1 problem, how come most the time when i cast, and my mouse goes to the bobber it tries to loots it right when my mouse hits the bobber 90% of the time and says no fish are hooked, it never waits for the bobber to bounce.

[Fatjoe]

because the bobber moves. When the mouse moves to the edge of the feather and the bobber moves, the color will mostly change. So it thinks that a fish is hooked and it tries to catch him.

[brynz0rz]

Yeah, sometimes you'll have to mess about with it to get it to work 100% of the time.

I realy loved this bot before, used it 3 days long. All my 18 slot's bags where full with deviate fishes and some poor fishes, like 20-30 stacks.
Very easy to install, and you can customize it very good.
Made like 500g in 5 days of botting with 150 fishing.
Played NFSU 2 that moment, and just let this bot do the work.

But there was a better guide about PiroxFishingBot on this forum.
