Hate the profession, love their passionate adepts !</p> <p>I'll never stop fishing in WoW, so long as it remains as diversified. I am thrilled to see what Cataclysm will bring to our fishing loot tables. The old fish, still available ? Any new ''rare'' fish ? Any ''special'' fish to be caught, much like Titanium in Saronite ?</p> <p>Wouldn't you love, once in a while, to catch that Uncommon-quality Nettlefish that can be cooked with five Northern Spices, and gives you 100 critical strike rating !? That would be absolutely incredible, and a gigantic buff to fishing and cooking altogether!</p> <p>And yet better ! An uncommon-quality Fish Feast! With the fishing rate of those ''uncommon fish'' (I'd like a 2-5% rate), it would be a sweet thing for fisherman from everywhere around Azeroth to be able to give their own raids, or other people's raids, added stats!</p> <p> /waiting impatiently for Cataclysm.</p> <p>Require more fish =D! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/comment-on-almost-anything#post-7683 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:28:37 +0000 Wooly Bay 7683@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>el <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/comment-on-almost-anything#post-7672" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Wooly Bay - I assume that's the hut on the Dragonspine Tributary... and you're the master dwarf stood in front of it.</p></blockquote> <p>My goodness!!

I have done a lot of PvP on previous accounts, and received titles from doing so in the process, but I am now completely dedicated to fishing ever since I discovered the landscapes you can come across while roaming the seas.</p> <p>The vast Bay of Storms; the long, sinuous river of Hillsbrad Foothills, that leads into the Western Plaguelands; the green, lush ground of the Barrens' oases; the dry, deserted shores of Desolace; the rocky soil of Stonetalon Peaks and Durotar; the icy, virgin waters of Winterspring!</p> <p>And the Outlands... the polluted ecosystem of Zangarmarsh; the living waters of Nagrand; the spooky rivers of Terokkar, and its pools of water high on mountains; really, have you seen any more diversified of a world ?</p> <p>Northrend, the newly discovered continent, cold and dry from an end to the other, deeply corrupted by the grasp of ancient evils, yet host to lively waters, and a people the likes of which have never been seen : the Kalu'ak. Fishermen to the core, willing to share their knowledge about their chilled, unwelcoming world...</p> <p>I've fallen in love with fishing a while ago, and ever since, it's been my main occupation. Of course, being on a Roleplaying server makes it all the more rewarding! People view Enarka, the Fishy Lady (Salty Rogue, hey!), as a dedicated fisherwoman, who can provide them all with the fish they want, at all times!</p> <p>In fact, I do keep a ton of fish of every kind, stored in my own complete guild bank, to supply everyone with the fish they may come to need! From the Raw Brilliant Smallfish to the Deep Sea Monsterbelly, everything's in the bank, in multiple stacks. Cooked meals, raw fish, name it : it's there. I sell it, I gift it, I trade it, and often just look at it, wondering how much time will come to pass before I get my hands on that mythic 103 Pound Mightfish!</p> <p>So, tell me, anglers of Azeroth, do you fish for your own leisure ? Do you sell the fish ? Are you aiming at any particular fish to catch ? Any amount of a particular item to get ? What is YOUR incentive to fish, beyond the coveted ''Salty'' title ?</p> <p>I, for one, seek to understand the underwater ecosystem of Azeroth, for it has surprised me many, many times. Murlocs, Hydras, Kraken...what else lurks below the surface..? I pray that, one day, I will learn... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/comment-on-almost-anything#post-7676 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:41:04 +0000 Mightfish 7676@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>el, Thank you for your detail comment.</p> <p>In Taiwan WoW, many players Fishing and achievements began.

I have added a list of all fish-based dishes - <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/cooking_skill.html" title="Fish Finder: Cooking Skill - Lists all cooked fish dishes by cooking skill.">Cooking Skill</a>. There are lots of options. If you aren't catching the fish yourself, it is very hard to say what the best options will be. If you are catching the fish, then the regular <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fishing_and_cooking_alliance.html" title="Training: Fishing and Cooking 1-450 Alliance - Detailed guide to leveling fishing and cooking skills together, for Alliance.">Fishing and Cooking 1-450 Alliance</a> can be used - you will just catch the fish you need faster!</li> <li>El's Anglin' is a guide to fishing and not to anglers that fish. A lot of things posted here are very interesting, and are very welcome on the forums. But they don't fit into a factual guide.</li> <li>'Bots are against WoW's terms of service, so will not be covered here in any detail, however good the intention (see <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/automation.html" title="Equipment: Automation - Macros, controllers, and other ways to automate the process of fishing.">Automation</a>). More generally, this isn't a "complaint website": Again, I'm happy to host discussion in the forums, but it doesn't belong in a fishing guide.</li> </ol> <p>In short, it's a guide to fishing. Very focused. Very specific editorial policy.</p> <p>I could, I should, do a lot more for the community. I always feel bad that I don't. Unfortunately, it's become a personal choice between doing lots of things badly, or (I hope) one thing well. I just don't have the time to do (and more importantly maintain) everything.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to write down the ideas. I don't want to stop people making suggestions, because a lot of suggestions are useful. I just felt the need to explain why not everything we'd like to see will actually happen. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/comment-on-almost-anything#post-7672 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:54:56 +0000 el 7672@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Wooly Bay - I assume that's the hut on the Dragonspine Tributary... and you're the master dwarf stood in front of it. </p>
