You can't just grind 200 of the same fish, you need to get darkshore grouper, deviate fish, shellfish from the traps in Desolace, darkclaw lobster, etc. Even tastyfish!</p> <p>2) Once you get enough rep, you can buy soulbound recipes. All of these recipes create special bait, and require hard-to-get ingredients, like meat dropped only by rare named mobs, or need to be cooked in odd places, etc.</p> <p>3) The different kinds of special bait are used to catch new fish for the next higher level of rep turn-ins, and may require fishing at certain times of the day or hard to reach areas. Maybe have these fish also useful in some way once you don't need them for rep.</p> <p>4) The final level of reputation opens up new items to purchase, like upgrading your arcanite rod, a 24 slot fishing creel, a fishing tabard, and +10 fishing boots with water walking. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk/page/2#post-1220 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:52:45 +0000 Gizel 1220@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>1. Bobbers in form of Gems fitting in a gem slot<br /> 2. A 'Fishing net' as ranged weapon<br /> 3. Add Djakar in SSC<br /> 3. Fishing only faction where you can gain rep by turning in special fish </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk/page/2#post-1216 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:19:43 +0000 biochimera 1216@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Most have been covered, but here goes:</p> <p>1) Increased chance to get the cast into a pool if a pool is present if your skill is high.</p> <p>2) A rod that doubles as a weapon (I want to go back to the old days, when I'd run around with my nat pagle rod whacking murlocs around... and now with a shaman, I want to WF it :) ).</p> <p>3) Gems/quests/gear that can be fished out of the sea (Broken sword of heroes redux, but across all the slots, materials and weapon types).</p> <p>4) More regular running of the STV extravaganza, only once per week, especially now with people at higher levels due to the dailies? Come on Blizz...</p> <p>5) A new engineering device to help fishing, maybe a trinket [Fish Sonar] or something to that effect. Poor engineers, they really need love.</p> <p>6) An upgrade of the rod from the STV extravaganza, make it an epic, increase the damage and the stats, and make it able to be used as a weapon (see point 2). To stop twinking, have it so that there are varying levels of it, but it can be upgraded somehow.</p> <p>7) Another fish weapon, something is sooo cool about running around smacking people with fish.</p> <p>8) Druids able to fish in aquatic/bear form (They just can't use lures and buffs, for obvious reasons). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk/page/2#post-1176 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:36:56 +0000 Asseel 1176@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>1. Casting accuracy based on skill. Doesn't have to be pinpoint precision, but maybe a smaller "potential landing area" based on skill.</p> <p>2. Ability to enchant a rod. C'mon, who doesn't want a fiery fishing pole!? :-)</p> <p>3. Varying times/locales for the fishing extravaganza. If that means having it outside of Ratchet/Barrens or at Menthil Harbor from time to time, so be it.</p> <p>4. Varying lures based on locale (inland/coastal) or fish attempting to catch. If this is made, then the secondary skill to make these lures would be interesting.</p> <p>5. More "interesting" effects from eating certain fish, much like eating Savory Deviate Delight. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk/page/2#post-1168 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:10:16 +0000 Floyd 1168@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My main request was to have the title "Master Angler" but good ol Blizzard already went ahead and threw that in there for us. "Grand Master Angler" would take it a step further if you had both Extravaganza trinkets and would be completely cool IMO. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk/page/2#post-1167 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:07:04 +0000 Floyd 1167@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ya, a large bag for fish, lures, outfit, and pole would be nice. A new rod or two (epic of course). And last but certainly not least.... A reputation that can only be gained by fishing and turning in catches. Make it Nat's Anglers or even El's :) I wouldn't want the rewards from the rep to be anything other than fishing related so we can keep the fishing to the little cult following that it has. It would be horrible if it caused everyone and their alts to learn fishing and crowd up all of our favorite fishing holes. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1165 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:59:20 +0000 Banjai 1165@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think there should be a new rod with a 'jem' slot. There could be three types of 'jem' that can be added:</p> <p>a +3 fishing reel<br /> a +5<br /> and a +7</p> <p>(or something) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1090 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 07:42:46 +0000 Mr. fishy 1090@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'd like to see a fisherman/woman only faction you'll have to hand in fish the better the fish more rep u get and if u reach say honered you could buy a better rod.Or you had to reel your fish in, to much and your line snaps so u loss the fish and have 5 sec debuff saying u are reapplying line.</p> <p>by the way im Mr.fishy and i just joind, great site. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1089 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:45:48 +0000 Cleigh 1089@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Napalm <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-924" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Hi fellow anglers ;)<br /> I would really like some difference in casting precision.

Drop a stick of this in a pool and kabloowie! You could simply loot the fish pool then. </p> <p>Of course, this would turn the Fishing Contest into a non-stop grief-a-thon for engineers, so perhaps they could be made unusable on Tastyfish Pools. Or you could drop it in regular water, and it could create a pool of random fish.</p> <p>Engineering Skill - Inflatable Motor Boat, complete with a sputtering engine, and an Ice Chest. Normal mount speed on water. Only question is whether you could fish from it, so it might make a better trinket. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1030 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 05:24:22 +0000 FireWolf 1030@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I would want a small house boat out some where in various areas that contains a faction that sells formulas to make food that provides various things like better poles or pole that provide different fishing mechanics. Mechanic could be things like clicking and dragging a dot on a bar left and right while tapping a,d,a,d,a... would reel in the catch, used to catch better fish ect... cooking could be a little more intuitive as well, and various repeatable quests would give you rep for the faction </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1027 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:22:41 +0000 Berg 1027@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It would be nice to see a traveling fishing tourney. Similar to the Darkmoon faire. It would have unique quests and rewards to the specific zone it was appearing. A chance to acquire rares would be nice too. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-1025 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 15:05:35 +0000 Mitzy 1025@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Epic fishing questline. Not THAT would be awesome. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-930 Thu, 22 May 2008 09:30:27 +0000 polgaras 930@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>What I would like to see with lich king goes as follows;</p> <p>1.Net fishing added. Engineering craftable with the help of tailors. Would have a few uses. Be expensive to craft so it does not get abused to much against tradition fishermen. Used in pools only.</p> <p>2.Fly fishing. Engineering craftable. Flys can be crafted from white drops of mobs. feathers and the like from different beasts. Flys can be used to target particular fish within a pool.But as is the case with fly fishing, one fly might catch one kind of fish in one pool in one area while a different fish in another with the same fly.Once the particular pool is free of that fish type, you catch nothing while the pool remains. Used in pools only.</p> <p>3. Harpoon fishing. As the name indicates you get to spear your fish. Harpoon on a rope :P. All in all it will have a greater chance to miss your fish but their is a possibility of spearing 2 fish. Works on a 15second recast timer.</p> <p>4. A base chance of 25% of missing your catch regardless of your fishing skill. Yes thats right 25%.</p> <p>5. The old man and the sea .A simple wooden boat<br /> to fish ofshore pools.</p> <p>6. Tradition wow fishing working of a lunar/tide calander.<br /> What this means is several times a day (2 major(2hr) and 2 minor (30min) the cast timers become 10 second and 5 seconds. Within these windows their could be a chance of catching some more useful pool fish or even a necklace or wristband that turns you into a mermaid or merman.<br /> Or even the chance to fish out a rusted pitchfork to neptune's trident. Weather these items are weapons or harpoons is<br /> anyones guess. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-924 Tue, 20 May 2008 17:37:46 +0000 Napalm 924@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hi fellow anglers ;)</p> <p>I would really like some difference in casting precision.

I've never quite understood why the Horde get a quest for this but the Alliance doesn't. The best the Alliance can get now (aside from winning the STV Extravaganza) is Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole (+20). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/what-you-would-like-to-see-for-fishing-in-wotlk#post-919 Mon, 19 May 2008 20:19:56 +0000 Woolwort 919@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Rowboat in a can!!!
