Profession Trainer
The Singing Pools is also the home of one of the two Profession trainers on the Wandering Isle. Primary Professions is all that he teaches and that is limited to Apprentice (75) training for everything. His name is Whittler Dewei (63, 41.6), and he can also repair and vendor your needs. Of the numerous items he sells, one of which is a Fishing Pole, which is odd since there is nobody here that will teach you how to fish.
