You have to realize that WoW macros are intentionally limited to prevent the macro from making decisions that Blizzard feels the player should be making. The problem is wanting a macro to use different items when specific items are equipped. As far as I know, there isn't even any such thing as a macro conditionl for a specific item being equipped.</p> <p>It may be possible, but I don't think so. You can ask on the macro &amp; UI forums. Here's a workaround that does work.</p> <p>/cast [nomod] Fishing<br /> /use [mod:alt] Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat<br /> /use [mod:shift] Sharpened Fish Hook<br /> /use [mod:shift] Arcanite Fishing Pole</p> <p>Holding alt uses hat, holding shift uses hook, regular fishes. Reverse the instances of alt and shift if you want the reverse. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-cool-fishing-ideas-do-you-think-blizz-should-implent-in-a-furture-patch/page/2#post-7300 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:32:04 +0000 Schema 7300@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Cherel <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-cool-fishing-ideas-do-you-think-blizz-should-implent-in-a-furture-patch#post-7282" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Is a distinctive sound worth more than a distinctive image?

I think all your arguments against that could be bypassed by using two sounds for the catch.

I chose to go to the glaciers off of South Borean. Others were raiding but I decided to take it easy and do my usual routine fishing. It came out of a pool at the southern-most edge of the glaciers next to a small one. I used my fishing hat and one of the +100 glow worms. I couldn't tell you if it helped.</p> <p>I immediately mounted it and swam for shore with it and landed on the beach in east borean and took some screenies. He is definitely one of my favorites. I sit in Dal and pop him in and out of his shell. I take him off "run" and casually stroll with him.</p> <p>Btw, I had fished up over 18K items by the time I got her. My friend has her on 2 of her toons now, but she is just lucky that way. Some of us have to be more persistent. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/am-i-just-incredibly-lucky#post-7296 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:11:59 +0000 Christhina 7296@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Mikado, the Northrend dailies are possible (at least Jewel in the Sewer) at less than 250 skill - with Seth's Pole and a +100 lure on my priest alt, who is just around 250 fishing, I make sure to do it every time it's up (poor thing cant fly in Northrend yet, and has very few flight points).</p> <p>It takes longer, for sure, but it's doable :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-4-casts#post-7293 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:28:20 +0000 Kovlish 7293@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Went from Fishing 254 to Fishing 378 while fishing for Old Ironjaw. I don't have a tracker, but I'm tired of catfish and mud snapper. I estimate I caught over 900 fish as well as 8 lesser healing potions, 2 17-pound catfish, 1 19-pound catfish and a [ Pattern: Colorful Kilt ]. I also noticed I had about a 1% no hit rate on the bobber. All total this took two days and about 4 hours of fishing. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/mr-pinchys-wishes/page/15#post-7292 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:55:36 +0000 Gradiago 7292@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Mr Pinchy 1 : Pet, Blessing, Benevolent </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7291 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:38:32 +0000 Leny 7291@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I find this to be a horrible idea..... two things that kind of set me out in my guild was my habit for paying huge amounts for non-combat pets and fishing </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7290 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:06:27 +0000 Gned 7290@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm feeling pretty abused over the new fishing changes.

Maybe they could "tighten up" the trapezoidal area where casts can land, so one had more control over casting. As an IRL fisherman, it's frustrating to line up a cast in game and come nowhere close to where I'm aiming. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/conditional-macro-apply-the-right-lure#post-7287 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:44:33 +0000 bluewire 7287@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'd like a macro that will:</p> <p>On CLICK - cast (or start fishing)</p> <p>On SHIFT-CLICK (or right-click, either way)<br /> - apply to my fishing pole (already equipped) a lure from Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat if equipped<br /> - apply to my fishing pole (already equipped) a Sharpened Fish Hook if no Weather Beaten Fishing Hat is equipped</p> <p>Note - I use ItemRack with a fishing gear set to equip a pole (and a fishing hat for my toons that have one).</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help - i know I fail at writing macro's </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/deep-sea-monsterbelly-schools#post-7286 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:23:43 +0000 thrasykles 7286@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>there are more of these, off the coast in western howling fjord. around 14/53 </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/moonglow-cuttlefish-school#post-7285 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:22:06 +0000 thrasykles 7285@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>there are more of these, off the coast in western howling fjord. around 14/53 </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty/page/6#post-7284 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:43:55 +0000 Snafu 7284@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well, to add my two cents...the Valley of Honor is a much better place to fish than The Valley of Spirits. I fished the Valley of Spirits pool for awhile, but was eventually ganked. It wasn't a bad spot, really...I've caught about 300 fish there in previous attempts but I wanted to give the other place a try. I went to the Valley of Honor waterfall during "off-hours" without any problem. I'm a lvl 80 ret pally, and I entered through the western gate. Just saddle up and go for it. I stayed there for a few hours over a couple of days, logging in and out when I had the time to play. I always used Elixer of Camouflage, and so the Hunters couldn't track me. I also used Blackened Worg Steak which allows you to track humanoids; I liked watching the traffic go by me on the minimap. No one touched me there, although I do think a lvl 80 orc saw me. (Thank you from a fellow fisherman.) He was fishing too and may have heard my bobber. I couldn't hear his (and I tried to) but being under the waterfall may have been the reason why. Just for the sake of posterity, and since it seems that there are people who are into this sort of thing, here's what I caught this time around:</p> <p>Longjaw Mud Snapper: 530<br /> Bristle Whisker Catfish: 211<br /> Brilliant Smallfish: 146<br /> 17 pound Catfish: 4<br /> Lesser healing potion: 3<br /> Bloated Mud Snapper: 2<br /> Infantry Tunic of the Monkey: 1<br /> Short Bastard Sword of the Monkey: 1<br /> The One Ring: 1<br /> Old Crafty: 1</p> <p>For a total of 900 casts.</p> <p>It may not be as easy for others to get to the waterfall as it was for me, but it's worth it if you're planning on staying there for a while. I swore I wasn't going to leave until I caught the bugger, so I'd have kept on fighting and/or corpse hopping my way in if I'd had to. </p>
