If I had to guess, I'd say they're going to be removed -- but that's just a guess. I don't know either way. I'll also take a minute to say how scared I am about what's going to happen to the price of the turtle polymorph tome ... I could see that going well over 100,000g eventually.

Both we're in Northrend, in WOTLK days. My first was a Druid who maxed her fishing and eventually got it. The second was my DK who went from 1 to about 200 something and got it. Now, I'm on my Goblin hunter, been fishing in Northrend for a week- stopped leveling, fishing nonstop, I want this mount before Vashj'ir. What I'm trying to ascertain now is whether or not you can still catch the mount in Northrend? Are we sure it's not JUST Cata pools, can we confirm it is still Northrend and Cata content? And for what it's worth, I did manage to fish up the Dustbringer. :/ el on "Cataclysm Fishing Bugs and Oddities" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/cataclysm-fishing-bugs-and-oddities#post-9278 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 09:19:17 +0000 el 9278@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ This post lists all known bugs and illogical/inconsistent issues related to fishing in the Cataclysm beta. These come from various sources - I'd encourage anyone in the beta to check these and add/remove from the list. With only a month until release, it is highly likely that these issues will simply become features, especially as fishing has a very low priority for bug fixes. I've ignored bugs which have been in WoW so long they have become features, such as the tendency for unnamed coastal areas of zones to contain inland fish, except where this could be easily fixed (i.e. there is no inland water, so defaults can be set to coastal). This topic is for bugs only. Please continue to use the original Cataclysm topic to report new fishing discoveries - <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/cata-fishing" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/cata-fishing</a> . General (background information can be found at <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/cataclysm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/cataclysm.html</a> ) [Fixed] Fishing skill-ups (may?) occur with every catch between 500 and 525. On average, 450 to 500 requires 9.25 catches per skill-up, so 500+ should require at least this number. Fishing skill-ups just before 300 are far higher than at any other point in the curve - averaging 12 between 295 and 300, but reaching almost 20 by 299. Likely a weakened version of an old bug with the leveling curve around this point. Working Overtime (guild achievement) may not apply to fishing skill-ups. Tests between 150 and 225 fishing show no difference. There is conflicting evidence above 450. Is fishing a "tradeskill"? Abyssal Clam cannot (yet) be caught by fishing, but is listed in The Oceanographer achievement. The Limnologist achievement requires Bloated fish, which are exceptionally rare, making the current achievement difficulty far in excess of One That Didn't Get Away. Unless it is intended that these catches be re-introduced as more common pool catches. The Oceanographer associates Bloated Salmon, Raw Redgill, Raw Sunscale Salmon, and Raw Whitescale Salmon with coastal waters. This was not the case prior to Cataclysm, when they were caught inland. [Fixed 2 December 2010] Weather-Beaten Hat can be gained at level 10 (via Old Azeroth dailies), but retains fantastic stat bonuses for that level. High Test Eternium Fishing Line still displays as a +2 bonus. Heat-Treated Spinning Lure's "Even works in lava!" description is misleading text, because all fishing currently works in lava, regardless of gear. Unimplemented feature? Most areas of lava can be fished with fishing skill 1, and never yield junk. Even where the prevailing no-junk skill is far higher, such as Mount Hyjal. Searing Gorge is the only (?) exception. Old Azeroth is currently over-populated by Sagefish/Greater Sagefish schools. Assumed to be placeholders; terribly boring if intended: Old Azeroth's pools tend to contain fish that aren't in demand. [Known issue] Bobber may splash as the fishing cast bar completes and the bobber disappears, making clicking challenging. [Fixed in 13224] Effective total bonus to fishing skill are not displayed on the professions tab, as it was on the old UI. Cooking [Fixed] Lavascale Minestrone recipe makes skilling up cooking far too easy: It is trained (via recipe) at cooking 450, but remains orange until 515. It should be trained at 500, else leveling cooking with fishing is simply a case of catching and cooking Lavascale Catfish. Cooking recipes formerly sold in Steamwheedle Port (Gikkix and Jabbey) are no longer obviously available, resulting in several fish becoming uncookable. Leveling cooking becomes rather too challenging. On the flip side, Vivianna (alliance vendor for certain recipes) exists *twice* in the new Feathermoon Stronghold. Dalaran Cooking Awards are still required to level cooking between 425 and 450 (to purchase recipes and potentially ingredients). This is inconsistent for 2 reasons: (1) It requires new characters to undertake daily quests from the previous expansion before they can proceed into the latest expansion (which has never matched WoW design logic). (2) Cooks (especially low levels, who cannot access Dalaran dailies) can step over this gap by spending a month conducting Stormwind/Orgrimmar cooking dailies for their +1 cooking skill bonus (requiring this is equally messy design part-way through the leveling curve). [Un-fixed by removal of recipe from vendors, ~3 December 2010] Recipe: Feathered Lure cannot be learnt. Quests Nat Pagle will still sell Mudskunk Lures to anyone that previously completed Nat's Measuring Tape, disregarding all the Zul'Gurub changes. Darkshore Grouper are only required for a quest, yet are not flagged as quest items, and can (still) be caught regardless of whether the quest is on your log. Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme can be completed at skill 225/level 35 (when it is first available), but has become somewhat harder due to the changes to the Swamp of Sorrows: Not only are level 35s being sent to a 50+ zone, but that zone's no-junk skill is now 425, so even with heavy luring, a lot of junk will be caught before the quest fish drops. Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme's Savage Coast Blue Sailfin can be caught from any part of the coast in Northern Stranglethorn, not just the Savage Coast. This contrasts to The Cape of Stranglethorn, where the fish can only be caught from the named area (Southern Savage Coast). Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza's School of Tastyfish are badly broken. The event places Tastyfish pools directly on top of regular pools (making the catch somewhat random). As the contest progresses, individual pools (of both Tastyfish and regular varieties) can be found independently. All pools should be Tastyfish. Drops from the Royal Monkfish (Big Gulp) challenge the quest anti-randomness mechanics (the longer you try, and more likely a positive result becomes), because there are 2 randoms in play: First the catch, and then the contents. This can make the quest highly variable. Overgrown Earthworm (Diggin' For Worms) are hard to see. Items for the quest "A Golden Opportunity" are not removed once the quest is complete. Zones (background information can be found at <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/cataclysm/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/cataclysm/</a> ) Arathi Highlands's Forbidding Sea (secret east coast) has not been adjusted down one tier in no-junk skill and catch-table, like the rest of the zone. Azshara is in a huge mess: Newly designed areas (including Arcane Pinacle, Bilgewater Harbor, Bitter Reaches, Gallywix Pleasure Palace, and Lake Mennar) have appropriate catch/skill for the 10-20 level of the zone. Areas which have not changed so much (including Bay of Storms, Jagged Reef, The Ruined Reaches, The Shattered Strand, and Southridge Beach) still have their pre-Cataclysm catches and skill. Badlands zone default catches can be safely set to coastal fish, since there isn't (obviously) any inland water. Currently coastal fish can be caught from Fuselight-by-the-Sea, but unnamed coastal areas nearby contain inland fish. Blasted Lands is in a huge mess: Water at The Sunveil Excursion contains lava catches, and has very low no-junk skill. Inland water contains fish normally associated with 425-skill areas, but can be fished at similarly low skill without junk. Coastal water at Surwich could be usefully classified as coastal. Burning Steppes' water inside The Skull Warren (at Dreadmaul Rock) contains lava catches. [Fixed ~4 December 2010] Deadwind Pass *still* contains (TESTING) flagged pools with no contents. Deepholm's lava (at Deathwing's Fall) contains regular zone catches. [Fixed ~4 December 2010] Elwynn Forest's School of Fish is tagged "TESTING", but still provides an infinite supply of Peacebloom, so will remain on the list until actually removed. Feralas is in a mess: Both Jademir Lake and Verdantis River remain unchanged, even though the rest of the zone has been adjusted downwards in skill and catches. Gilneas is inconsistent between phased states: Leveling Worgens only catch Raw Slitherskin Mackerel, while others fishing (the same water) in the Ruins of Gilneas catch a wider range of coastal fish (a tier higher, including Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore). No-junk skills are probably also inconsistent, but this is hard to confirm at such low values. Hillsbrad Foothills' Lordamere Lake contains *both* regular and greater Sagefish pools, often almost on top of one another. Mount Hyjal's lava (The Throne of Flame) can be fished without junk at skill 1. Far lower than the 575 required for the rest of the zone. Cave areas of lava (especially in the Firelands) contain normal water fish, not lava catches. Northern Stranglethorn's Sundering contains inland water. This is inconsistent with Darkshore, where seawater flowing inland yields coastal catches. The South Seas (south-east coastline) have higher-tier catches and skill than the rest of the zone, for reasons unclear. Orgrimmar's Goblin Slums may report at error message that fish are getting away at low (under 25) skill. Same issue <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/cata-fishing-dailies-and-403a?replies=12#post-9442">reported</a> at Thunder Falls in Elwynn Forest. Southern Barrens' lava (at The Great Divide) contains coastal fish. The Steam Pools currently contain no fish. Stormwind City's harbor contains inland fish... again. The Cape of Stranglethorn contains pools under the surface of the land, especially on the north-west edge. Inland water above Booty Bay contains coastal fish. Jaguero Isle retains a higher tier of fish catches, but now at the same skill as the rest of The Cape of Stranglethorn. Twilight Highlands' Obsidian Lair contains coastal fish. Cannon's Inferno lava has lower no-junk skill than the rest of the zone. Uldum has pool phasing issues, especially along the coast and the Obelisk of the Moon, where pools disappear upon entering a sub-zone. The Chamber of the Moon (which is underground, and a long way inland) contains coastal fish. Un'Goro Crater's no-junk skill is probably 375, which is 50 points lower than anywhere else with the same catches (except Blasted Lands, which is plain broken). Vashj'ir's catches are inconsistent between subzones, for no logical reason - specifically generic (unnamed) parts of the Shimmering Expanse have a wider variety of fish than other parts of Vasj'ir. Pre-Cataclysm fish, such as Deep Sea Monsterbelly and Giant Sunfish may be caught.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? I understand the achievement states pool, but it also states Northrend and that has obviously been changed. Since they can't change achievements clientside, it will take until next patch to see if the word pool is taken out. Also, can anyone confirm or deny the ability to fish the Sea Turtle mount up in the Pools of Fire in Mount Hyjal and Twilight Highlands? Just trying to figure out the best ways/places to fish for this with the changes that have been made.

Fish are still used to make premium food. New fishing dailies.</blockquote> So, we have seen the fish or most of them, but looking though the Cataclysm pages here, apart from some rather non fun new stuff i.e. updated wreck boxes etc. I can see no new drops coming from fishing itself. Am I missing something or is there realistic hope still that such 'caught' items will be in game once it goes live? I have a feeling that they will do another form of Fishing Daily in one of the new zones as it will build on the existing ones, with the new one in Stormwind/ Orgrimmar aimed squarely at beginners. So maybe some new goodies from such an event. Maybe a new fished mount or rare item only dropped from fishing (there was one in WOTLK if I recall?) but I do hope also some low drop rate 'fun' items would be really nice.

Amazon messed up and my collector edition boxes are floating around somewhere in space. I'm actually contemplating buying a digital upgrade for one of my accounts, then calling CSR to upgrade the upgrade when the CE boxes finally arrive. I would rather not pay the extra for useless upgrade that's going to be upgraded when the CE boxes get here... The problem is that I'd really like to try for the realm first fishing achievement of strength. So, the question is: Do I need Cata upgrade to train my fishing to be able to fish to 525? I'm so annoyed at Amazon... SOOOO annoyed.

I already have the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole, Bone Fishing Pole and the Jeweled Fishing Pole, I just want to make sure I have all of the poles available in the old game before that angry death wingy thing ruins our day. </blockquote> So far, the changes are speculative: from drastic zone and level changes to migrating fish-loot tables to more appropriate zones. I hope it's the latter, but I fear the former. If fish and loot starts disappearing with the Cataclysm changes, what are the items that you still haven't caught but want to?

Cataclysm, with all of it's water-based dungeons and zones plus the revamped old zones (some flooded) should offer many new opportunities for innovation in our favorite WoW pasttime. Here are a few items I'd like to see in Cataclysm: (just dreaming and wishing) 1) Fishing Boats - these could be one of the new water mounts. Only usable in bodies of water (obviously) and limited to how far out you can venture (fatigue sets in). You could fish while seated in a boat. Boats could come in 3 different speeds: basic, fast and speedy. Eliminate the need for water walking potions / spells. Obtainable only by fishermen at certain skill levels (300, 375, 450, 500?) Possibly allow 1 to 2 other friends to join you for a fishing expedition and related quests. 2) New fishing derby. We know that many zones are changing and the possibility that the STV derby may change dramatically or possibly be relocated or even go away. I imagine that a new version of the fishing derby may be introduced. Perhaps with better rewards and enhancements. 3) Fly tying skill. As part of the fishing skill, you could optionally make your own lures. Different levels of lures would act like bait but be permenant. Imagine having a lure that replaces the need for bait full time but only if you learn how to make em. Lures could go as high as +150 to fishing. 4) Fish battles - imaging having to work to pull in a big one. It takes the regular cast to a new level. In order to land a big fish, you'd need to use a special big fish lure and need to use special hot keys to use abilities to pull in the really big ones. Makes fishing a bit more skill based rather than passive. 5) Create your own custom fishing poles - this could be an engineering enhancement. Would love to see more custom crafted equipment like fishing poles in the game. Epic poles could be able to catch epic fish! 6) Epic fish - have the ability to catch more uber rare fish (kinda like Old Ironjaw) only with the ability to convert it into an epic item. 7) Spearfishing / Net fishing - who says fish can only be caught with poles? As we've seen in some quests, we can catch fish with more than just a fishing pole. Why not make it an option to what type of tool we use? With spear fishing, we could even be underwater and catch fish. No more "Can't cast while swimming" message. Would add a variety to our fishing options. Some players might just stay underwater all the time! These are just some daydreaming ideas I had. Hopefully Bilzzard will put in 1 or 2 of these with Cataclysm.
