It took me a while before i started getting that last 2500 rep with everlook (dont trust it will be the same with you) cause who goes to everlook anyway?<br /> I think this is still the easiest method of all since you'll still want to use the boat of BB - ratchet or the innkeeper at BB. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/attention-bloodsails#post-632 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:12:37 +0000 Trinda 632@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Confirmed!<br /> Riggle Bassbait, Fishbot 5000 and Jang all interact with Bloodsails (or rather... Goblin-hated characters).</p> <p>I was able to talk to them all, see their quests, open the quests to the rewards, and in Jang's case (as I had a few fish) I was able to turn them in. </p> <p>I did not have the 40 fish, so I was unable to press continue at Riggle's screen, but I got to that part. Which means Bloodsails do have the ability to win the tournament through Riggle, turn in fish to Fishbot and to Jang. It's just hard to do.</p> <p>I actually did turn fish into Jang (as I expected I would be able to). Now back to my Keefer hunting.</p> <p>In other words, Patch 2.4 is Bloodsail compliant.<br /> Trinda tested. Trinda approved. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/attention-bloodsails#post-613 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:35:38 +0000 Trinda 613@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I turned in my tastyfish to Jang regularly (prior to 2.4). So she, at least, interacted with Bloodsails. </p> <p>I am 100% certain that all the NPCs involved with the Extravaganza are all green (friendly) to Bloodsails -as in, they do not attack and are not red/orange/yellow (hated/hostile/neutral) to the player-. They are not Cartel-flagged.</p> <p>Interaction-wise, I suppose I can only say with certainty that Jang does. </p> <p>This Sunday, I'll be testing Riggle (and Jang and Fishbot) to ensure that this is applicable in 2.4.<br /> Stay tuned for the update! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/attention-bloodsails#post-612 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 21:10:43 +0000 el 612@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks. Please let us know whether it can still be done.</p> <p>Blizzard's <a href="http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=16905&#38;searchQuery=fishing&#38;pageNumber=1">own support article</a> says:</p> <blockquote><p><strong>Why am I unable to participate in the Stranglethorn Vale fishing tournament?</strong><br /> If you have unfriendly or lower reputation with Booty Bay, you will not be able to participate in the Stranglethorn Vale fishing tournament. </p></blockquote> <p>While nobody doubts it will be <em>difficult</em> with half of Booty Bay gunning against you, that article implies that the NPCs will not interact with you at all.</p> <p>From memory, there has been a recent change to make it easier to collect the Trading Card Game items. So maybe the contest was tweaked too? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/attention-bloodsails#post-610 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:07:07 +0000 Trinda 610@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've looked and I see no mention of it. Sorry if this is in fact a repeat.</p> <p>I just wanted to make it clear to my fellow Bloodsail Admirals (and Admirals to be) that you can still win the tournament if you are hated by the Cartel factions.</p> <p>Riggle Bassbait, Jang and the Fishbot 5000 (along with Landro Longshot: the loot card guy) are still friendly to Goblin-hated characters.</p> <p>Will it be harder? Yes. Definitely, because you may have a corpse run to do, which slows you down greatly. But it can (and has been done). There are a few strategies to employ.</p> <p>1. BEFORE you start your Bloodsail Buccaneers grind, set your hearth to Booty Bay. This way, you can rez right in-front of Riggle. This is pretty impractical, but it is one method.</p> <p>2. Have a healer on hand to heal you as you get whopped by the Goblins. This is still pretty roughshod, since dying is still a possibility (and also endangers your healer friend :P ), but with decent geared characters (or skillful), it is better than the first option.</p> <p>3. Invisibility/Invulnerability potions and other alchemical boons. Still kind of dangerous, but if you practice maneuvering the city before hand, this is a very viable option. You just can't make a mistake or you're doomed.</p> <p>4. This is the most effective method (and is what I used a few times). Have a warlock and two healers standby, next to Riggle and his buddies. As you make your 40 fish mark (or a few seconds before), call for a summon. When you pop, your friends will heal you and you can talk to Riggle for the win.</p> <p>Death is very likely in all scenarios. But it can be done (at least prior to 2.4..., it hasn't been 2.4 tested YET. Testing this Sunday).<br /> I hope this was helpful. </p>
