The Fishing Shack is a Special Garrison building that allows you to fish in your Garrison and eventually recruit Nat Pagle as a follower. He sells a number of rewards, including the sought-after Reins of the Crimson Water Strider mount and Land Shark battle pet.

Level	Cost	Perks
Level 1	Free Instant	Allows small Draenor fish to be caught in garrison waters and provides access to daily Fishing quests.
Level 2	300x 50x 1 hour	Allows medium Draenor fish to be caught in garrison waters.
Level 3	500x 100x 1 hour	Allows enormous Draenor fish to be caught in garrison waters. Also grants you a chance to catch a unique fish that can be used to lure mysterious creatures onto the shore.

In this section, we are going to tell you how to unlock the Fishing Shack, Level 1, 2, and 3.

The Fishing Shack appears in your Garrison after upgrading your Town Hall to Level 2 and is originally locked. To unlock the Fishing Shack, visit it, and complete the quest line started by Looking For Help (Alliance) or Looking For Help (Horde), which is offered by the Fishing Trainer. The required level for the quest line is 94.

To upgrade the Fishing Shack to Level 2, buy the Garrison Blueprint: Fishing Shack, Level 2 from Sparz Boltwist (Alliance) or Rezlak (Horde). Both NPCs are located next to the Architect Table in your Garrison's Town Hall. The blueprint costs 1,000 .

Garrison Blueprint: Fishing Shack, Level 3 is a reward from completing the Draenor Angler meta-achievement. This achievement is earned by completing: Sea Scorpion Angler, Fat Sleeper Angler, Blackwater Whiptail Angler, Fire Ammonite Angler, Jawless Skulker Angler, Blind Lake Sturgeon Angler, and Abyssal Gulper Eel Angler.

To complete these achievements, you need to catch enormous fish in the waters (or fire pools for Enormous Fire Ammonite) of various Draenic zones. There are a few things that are worth mentioning to make the grind easier.

• You need a Fishing skill of 650 to start catching Enormous fish, and the higher your skill the more likely you are to catch only Enormous fish (instead of the regular size). So, anything that can increase your Fishing skill helps. We found the following items to be particularly useful, as they helped us increase our Fishing skill to over 1,000.
  • Ephemeral Fishing Pole has a low chance to be fished in Draenor waters. It has a 1-day duration and increases Fishing skill by 100.
  • Hightfish Cap has a low chance to be fished in Draenor waters. It has a 7-day duration and increases Fishing skill by 100.
  • Worm Supreme is a rare Draenor lure that can be fished and that increases Fishing skill by 200 for 10 minutes. When we did not have that lure available, we used Heat-Treated Spinning Lure, which can be made by Engineers and increases Fishing skill by 150 for 15 minutes.
• When fishing in a Draenor zone, you have a chance to catch a bait for the fish specific to that area. For example, when fishing in Nagrand, you have a chance to catch a Fat Sleeper Bait, which greatly increases the chances that you will catch Enormous Fat Sleepers instead of the default Crescent Saberfish. Note that you can only have 1 copy of a bait in your inventory, so you cannot catch a second Fat Sleeper Bait before you use the first one. When a bait is active, you have a much higher chance to catch the same bait again.

Earning the achievement grants you the right to buy the blueprint for the upgrade, Garrison Blueprint: Fishing Shack, Level 3, from Sparz Boltwist (Alliance) or Rezlak (Horde) for 1,000 .

Every day, you receive a daily quest at your Fishing Shack, which consists in catching Draenor fishes and gutting them to get the quest items. This quest can be done in your Garrison. All you need to do is to get the bait for the day's fish (it can be caught in your Garrison) and then catch the day's fish in your Garrison's waters.

The daily quest increases your Fishing skill by 15 and rewards you with a Pack of Fishing Supplies, which can contains baits among other things.

After upgrading your Fishing Shack to Level 3, you receive Luring Nat (Alliance) or Luring Nat (Horde) from the Fishing Vendor at your Fishing Shack. Both quests require you to catch a specific fish from the waters of your faction's starting zone. It took us 10 tries to catch the Arcane Trout needed for the Alliance quest.

Finding Nat Pagle is the follow-up quest and requires you to go to the Krasarang Wilds in Pandaria to talk to Nat, who then gives you A True Draenor Angler, which requires you to catch 1 of each of these fish: Abyssal Gulper Lunker, Blackwater Whiptail Lunker, Blind Lake Lunker, Fat Sleeper Lunker, Fire Ammonite Lunker, and Jawless Skulker Lunker. To help you do that, Nat gives you a special lure, Nat's Hookshot, which you need to active in order to be able to catch these fish in their respective areas. Do not use your own baits, as they override Nat's special lure. In average, it took us 12 attempts to catch each of these fish.

After coming back to your Garrison and completing A True Draenor Angler, Nat gives you An Angler on Our Team, which makes him one of your followers.

Nat Pagle sells a number of items, which require a certain level a friendship with him and a number of Nat's Lucky Coins to buy.

Item	Friendship	Cost
Nat's Draenic Fishing Journal	None	25x Nat's Lucky Coins
Nat's Drinking Hat	Friends	25x Nat's Lucky Coins
Draenic Fishing Pole	Friends	25x Nat's Lucky Coins
Land Shark	Good Friends	50x Nat's Lucky Coins
Reins of the Crimson Water Strider	Best Friends	100x Nat's Lucky Coins

Nat's Lucky Coins and friendship are earned by turning in Lunker fish to Nat Pagle at your Garrison, something which requires Nat to be assigned to work at your Fishing Shack. Each regular Draenor fish has its own Lunker version (for example Blind Lake Lunker for Blind Lake Sturgeon). Lunker fish are caught in the same waters where their regular equivalents can be caught (so, Shadowmoon Valley for Blind Lake Lunker). According to a comment on Wowhead, the chance to catch them is about 1% at Level 700 and it increases if you buff your Fishing skill (5-6% at Level 1089).

Your Fishing Shack Level 3 allows Lunarfall Carp (Alliance) and Frostdeep Minnow (Horde) to be caught in your Garrison. These items summon a Lunarfall Cavedweller and a Frostdeep Cavedweller respectively. These mobs drop a number of useful fishing items, including Nat's Lucky Coins. The chance to catch a Lunarfall Carp or a Frostdeep Minnow seems to be around 3-4% with a Fishing skill buffed to Level 1100. As with the Lunker fish, you can have a maximum of 5 Lunarfall Carp or 5 Frostdeep Minnow in your inventory.

• 02 Sep. 2015: Removed the mention of a 5-item limit for each Lunker type, as it seems to have been removed.
• 13 Apr. 2015: With El's Anglin now being defunct, we added more information about Lunkers and Lunarfall Carp/Frostdeep Minnows.
• 22 Jan. 2015: Missed hotfix that increased the skill-up from the daily quest. It now properly says +15.
