It's been a long time in the making. I don't even know how or why, but I found the mechbuilder's on the AH this week, I won the Kalu'ak a couple of weeks ago, and my Darkmoon tokens added up to the right number today. Since my gloves no longer match with the Boots of the Bay, I bought myself a set of the replica Darkmantle Gloves to match.</p> <p>So the current set is:</p> <p>Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat<br /> Mechbuilder's Overalls<br /> Blue Lumberjack Shirt<br /> Replica Darkmantle Gloves<br /> Azure Silk Belt<br /> Boots of the Bay</p> <p>and don't forget<br /> Nat Pagle's Broken Reel</p> <p><a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/draktharon/Eponandilas/simple" rel="nofollow">http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/draktharon/Eponandilas/simple</a><br /> or an image if I'm my safety equipment:<br /> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/e31hp.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/e31hp.jpg</a></p> <p>I had a couple of suggestions for those looking to spice up some of their wardrobe. I used to wear Seer's Gloves to match my old Nat Pagle's Fishing Boots- same colour as the brown leather and equivalent shape, but cloth. Blue stripe instead of purple. For the perfect colour match to the old boots, Runecloth Gloves have purple and gold details on brown, but big cuffs. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/sea-pony-how-many-casts/page/3#post-11494 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:05:47 +0000 datgrl 11494@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My Tauren Hunter (my first toon) has had terrific fishing luck all along. When I was leveling fishing in Mulgore, I'd get potions and all sorts of goodies. She got her Sea Pony after about 20 casts off the dock and also the achievement for 'The One That Didn't Get Away'. </p> <p>My Nelf Hunter, on the other hand, has always had terrible fishing luck. She continues to fish up trash and has spent a couple of hours on the dock, trying to get that Sea Pony. I'm not going to worry about getting the rare fish achievement with her. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/sea-pony-how-many-casts/page/3#post-11493 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:21:42 +0000 Bridgeta 11493@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Level 30, fishing skill around 100 when I started.

I had caught the Sea pony just west of the cave/cove on the island yesterday in the afternoon after about 30 Minutes of fishing in open water. I went back this morning to fish the holes and I moved to the cave area. I had only caught a few junk fish, when I noticed a spot of bright blue in the water off shore near a small rock island. The second fish I caught after that was the Steelscale. It was just a quick but bright spot of blue that looked very similar to the water holes that used to appear out near the cave in Feralas a long time back. I don't know if it was related to the Steelscale catch but thought I would offer it up in case anyone found it helpful!:) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/gathermate-2#post-11491 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:38:22 +0000 samboda 11491@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I opened the following ticket to Gathermate2 <a href="http://www.wowace.com/addons/gathermate2/tickets/57-deprecated-nodes/">ticket url</a> to remove some fishing nodes that no longer exist in-game.</p> <p>Can anyone comment it (not only about the fishing nodes), please.

I have gotten "Salty" on a number of my characters and on a couple of them I have fished up everything that can be possibly given an achievement. I guess I just wanted to be like ol Nat Pagle Mr. "The Extreme" himself. I propose putting in an achievement for the truly "extreme" fisherman an achievement that includes all the fishing tourney rewards etc., catching of all the rare fish and many other very creative and dangerous adventures for the hardcore fisherman in Azeroth and Outlands that Bliz can dream up. I know amongst the fishing community it would be the greatest challenge for all fellow anglers alike. Maybe the reward could be a pony keg of beer with a fishing buff that speeds up fishing :) or maybe a high tech reel or combination of parts that would make the Arcanite Fishing rod into a legendary fishing rod only a few could possess with very hard work."</p> <p><a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4015353124#1">Forum Post Link</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/sea-pony-how-many-casts/page/3#post-11487 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:43:39 +0000 Eclypsia 11487@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Total: 222<br /> Skill:640</p> <p>Rainbow FIn Albacore: 129<br /> Oily blackmouth: 61<br /> Firefin Snapper: 21<br /> Sealed Crate: 5<br /> Message In A Bottle: 2<br /> Small Locked Chest: 2<br /> Sea Pony: 1<br /> Waterlogged Crate: 1 </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/16#post-11486 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:26:30 +0000 HootzJnr 11486@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>ive been fishing a fair bit and this and master angler of azaroth are tho only acivements i've got left and so far im not having much luck </p> <p>4000fish no turtle<br /> Edit 4500fish no turtle<br /> oh god i finally got it but a horde attacked me and killed before loot gm wont do anything i did win both fishing coms on the weekend though<br /> GOT THE STUPID TURTLE IMA DONE WITH FISHING </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/transmogrification-and-the-fishing-folk#post-11485 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:50:24 +0000 Cailleach 11485@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This is the best I came up with, I walk around with the Salty title and I hide the cloak unless I find one that's fitting, but I just don't see too many caped fisherman:</p> <p><a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/eredar/Cailleach/simple" rel="nofollow">http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/eredar/Cailleach/simple</a></p> <p>Head: Weather Beaten Fishing hat<br /> Shoulders: Frostsavage shoulders<br /> Chest: Seer's padded armor<br /> Gloves: Runecloth gloves<br /> Waist: Wisdom of the Timbermaw<br /> Legs: Heavy woolen pants<br /> Feet: Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots<br /> Main (Staff): Nat Pagle's Fish Terminator (old ZG drop, can't get it now) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/as-you-may-have-noticed#post-11484 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:34:25 +0000 Marlburo 11484@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Caught the 32 Pound Salmon 5 months ago in Un'Goro Crater (Marshlands).
