The below recommendations assume you do not have a Lu Shang's F. Rod, if you do feel free to ignore rod suggestions as Lu works for everything. Some legendary fish will require it and also be able to break it, so level Woodworking to 70 to repair it yourself. Otherwise you will need complete The Immortal Lu Shang to repair it.

== Rank Tests ==
Every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by catching (or buying) a Fishing item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.) or higher (up to the cap). Once you have the requisite skill, speak with the Guild Master, [Thubu Parohren]
