Just make sure you aren’t in the starting zone when you announce the beginning location.</p> <p> You could also ask for a specific number of fish from a certain zone. If you use a cross faction zone, it could get interesting.</p> <p> I have decided that I am going to fish in every zone and catch one of every fish. I started with Stormwind, which doesn’t sound that hard. However, as a proud member of the Horde it was a little difficult to find a safe spot. But I found one.</p> <p> OT- They need to make an attractive offer to get someone to fish in out of the way/desolate spots. Again, using Old Crafty as a reference. The reward of catching him was worth the risk of getting to the location.</p> <p> If it’s somewhere out of the way, it has to be worthwhile in going there. I think that more semi-rare fish and/or items would send people to those areas to fish. At least the serious ones. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/daily-quest-fish-catch-rates-data-wanted/page/5#post-902 Fri, 16 May 2008 18:00:33 +0000 kammler 902@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>croc: 9,14,11<br /> away: 2,4,2,12<br /> bait: 1,4,7<br /> felblood: 4,6,23</p> <p>on the felblood one with 23 i had to verify i still had the quest, but the extra time was worth it as the fishing hat dropped in the bag after turning in the quest. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-901 Fri, 16 May 2008 17:24:11 +0000 Trokair 901@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Epic fishing gear.</p> <p>Hat, Gloves, Boots, Fishing Line and Fishing Pole.</p> <p>Need Purples. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-900 Fri, 16 May 2008 16:03:07 +0000 Weeds 900@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>How about....</p> <p>The fishing profession also includes bait and tackle creation.

I wasn't a gamer and wasn't interested in playing WoW. But one day, my bf asked me if I would level up his fishing. So he parked me in Darnassus with a fishing pole and I fished there for 4 hours. I was hooked. </p> <p>He got me my own account even though I asked him not to. I'm fond of saying that my relationship with WoW lasted longer than that relationship. I have two BT/MH raider characters as a pally tank and a shadow priest which is time-consuming and demanding. </p> <p>But I still try to sneak away to fish because<br /> 1. I can handle guild officer stuff and chat without killing a group in an instance.<br /> 2. I enjoy gathering cooking materials<br /> 3. I enjoy the surprise element of a catch.<br /> 4. It's not about GCDs or how much haste rating you have. Its simplicity is something that most people write off as boring. It's a meditation of my "surroundings", a time and place where all your focus is on the bobber and the basic joy of a catch.<br /> 5. Unlike RL fishing, WoW fishing is not at all demanding; it's free of extraneous factors like timing of the tides, stabbing hooks in fingers, and tangled lines.<br /> 6. If you miss a bob, there are very little consequences, unlike raiding :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/no-more-fishing-in-tree-form#post-879 Wed, 14 May 2008 15:05:59 +0000 Yohaun 879@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I will try this out tonight, I just respecced Moonkin. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/guild-fishing-contest#post-878 Tue, 13 May 2008 19:14:31 +0000 Slavaa 878@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>About your off topic question, I'm on the Zepplin to Grom'gol to do the fishing daily in Stormwind right now </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/guild-fishing-contest#post-877 Tue, 13 May 2008 16:50:27 +0000 samboda 877@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>That's why i said a 39 people contest + "moderator" , even so u can only control the loot from players that are in range , but the idea is to see where is everyone. </p> <p>A possible variation , would be to announce a place and a fish type ,every 30 mins, and everyone must go there and fish as many as possible, of course the points systems should be changed a bit.</p> <p>The first 2 contest types i mention on my first post , might be the ones where u get more adrenaline since its a race against the others ; the points contest is a strategic one since u have to see where ppl are fishing and calculate what they are going to fish......... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/no-more-fishing-in-tree-form#post-876 Tue, 13 May 2008 15:54:05 +0000 Oberweiss 876@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm not sure which patch implemented this, but this weekend I noticed that I could no longer fish in tree form.

If you didn’t announce them ahead of time its unlikely that anyone would have any stocked up. For example, when I was fishing from the Oily Blackmouth pools around Ratchet I’d occasionally fish out an alcoholic drink. I can’t remember the name off the top of my head, but it had the graphic of a mug. There are also the odd items you can fish out of the Sludge Fen in the Barrens, which include old wagon wheels and oil covered fish. These are actually fairly common from that pool.</p> <p>Unless you’re on a PvP server, the Barrens aren’t too difficult to get to even for the alliance, depending on how low level the character is of course. But if the characters are in their mid teens it shouldn’t be too hard. If you wanted to save time during the contest, you could help anyone who needs it get the Ratchet flight path and make sure they have access to a map of the Barrens that shows all the locations, including the Sludge Fen. It would then be a simple run past mobs in their teens to get to it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-a-living-legend#post-872 Tue, 13 May 2008 10:12:33 +0000 Slavaa 872@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well, It's on the Roleplaying forums now... would someone please go give it a bump... same title, but it might be on the second page now... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-a-living-legend#post-871 Mon, 12 May 2008 23:57:47 +0000 Pierree 871@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i would say go for it, but probably in an rp section, normal o boards scare me. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-how-did-you-first-discover-els-anglin/page/2#post-870 Mon, 12 May 2008 23:54:47 +0000 Pierree 870@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well, i was browsing the allakhazam trade skills forum one day, and calabar had made a topic askign how many of alla's users did the dailies, with a link to this site.
