Old Man Heming is one of Blizzard's pop-culture references to Ernest Hemingway and his book The Old Man and the Sea which is about a Cuban fisherman and his struggles with a marlin. It's only appropriate that this NPC sells you the book to train to Expert fishing.

Commentaire de Deadheads

He is at 27,77 at the bottom level of the docks.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Heming is inside Booty Bay, on the southern portion of the docks, on a lower level of docks. It took me forever to find him, though now I'm not quite sure why. Don't waste your time and don't leave Booty Bay, it's dangerous out there!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Thanks for telling me where he is, people are selling it for 1g75s on the Auction House.

In Booty Bay, if you fall into water near dock, then there is a ramp for you to climb back up. Old Man Heming is near that ramp. As you climb up the ramp from water, immediately take a right. Old Man Heming is in that shop.

Booty Bay is easy to get for Horde. Simply make your way to Ratchet in The Barrens and take the boat.

Alliance have it a bit tougher at lower levels, but you can make the swim from Westfall to Booty Bay very easily. This just takes some time and patience!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Southern Menethil Bay Boat to Theramore Isle. Take beach North to Ratchet, will have to swim a bit. Turtles don't aggro for Druids at least. Avoid some threshers and murloc types by skirting widely.

Then take the same boat that Horde take to Booty Bay. There are Gryphon Flight Paths at both Theramore and Ratchet you should get while there. Easiest if not pvp'd as well.

Alliance can get to Booty Bay by traveling to Darkshire (south of Elwynn Forest across river, or west of Sentinel Hill across river) then to Stranglethorn Vale (go south out of town, road bends west, take a left when you get to the Night Watch tents).

I've fished booty bay from the pier and have caught fish, but you need to have 150+ skill to catch anything (at least for me as I failed a lot). Also it helps to have bait even at 150+.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I travelled to Booty Bay on foot, died a bunch of times, only to find out you have to be level 20 to get this book. I went as a level 16 druid.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

27.77

Commentaire de Allakhazam

where can i get the book as a Horde? I don't want to spend a while bunch of money in the AH to get it either

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Wanted to add this for a long time, but know I got the time to.
Old Man Heming is a reference to Earnest Hemingways "The old man and the sea" where the old man is a fisherman as well :P

If you stay to the left on the lower level, you'll end up going down a ramp onto the lowest level, close to the water. The ramp into the water will be on your right, keep going straight and you'll see the fishing shop and the Old Man.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Old Man Heming can be found in the back corner, on the lowest level. Going in the front gate you keep to the left on the main walkway. In the back corner you'll find a shop, and he is the only NPC inside.

By the way, they have reactivated fishing in Booty Bay. It was turned off, as was all expert fishing for a period of time. It happens to be a very high area for fishing. If you aren't over 150 (or higher) you're not likely to catch very much, very quickly.

They have though nerfed the heck out of fishing. Sorry to say that, but it's very true. No longer is it a great way to get items for wearing or crafting, it's pretty much useable for getting fish to cook and eat and that's about it.

My fishing is maxed out at 315(300, +5 Rod, +5 Hat(dropped of the black bear patriarch by the Loch), and +5 gloves) i reeled in a plain box, inside was 2 major healing pots a gray sword and a Libram of VoracityLibram of Voracityi hit the jaack pot, too bad the libram quest takes like forever for the mats required to get the +8 to 1 stat5 on leg or helm

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Can you talk to him regardless of your experience level? I am a level 33 Rogue but have 150 fishing. I just wanted to know if it is worth the risk of traveling down there to get it.

Anyone tried swimming it?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I really wish I had seen this post before... I saw this book in AH and came to Allakhazam to see where could it be bought (for much less, that's for sure...). I looked in "Tradeskills, by trainer", but there was some kind of error and could't check anything. So this morning I saw it again at AH, and bid for it... 1 gold and 50 silver. Now I wish I've been outbid!
It's a shame, I was in Booty Bay yesterday looking for a fisherman, and could'nt find anything cause there are no guards to whom you can ask and Booty Bay looks like a laberynth!

Commentaire de Ashirin

He is at 27,77 in the lower level of Booty Bay. If you are in the deep end of the bay jump in the water, take the ramp up and enter the building on your right hand side. There he is
The book always seems to cost exactly 1 gold. I am friendly with the Steamwheedle Cartell and I receive no discount.

Old Man Heming is clearly a reference to Ernet Hemingways book "The Old Man and the Sea"

Commentaire de Lasermannen

Why can i not se Aquadynamic Fish Attractor in Hemings shop?

"The thousand times that he had proved it meant nothing. Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it."
The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
