I got the crate and the pet in first wish, also noticed, the Knothide leather dont comes as scrap anymore, got about 12 crates, 4 of those contained 3-4 knothide leather </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7544 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:43:38 +0000 Nemari 7544@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just another data point for a possibly increased droprate: After I read this thread, I decided to go fishing this morning. I got him on my 5th pool. In my bags are 14 furious crawdad and 6 golden darters. I was also lucky to get the pet at my first wish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7483 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:34:44 +0000 Gummo 7483@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It wouldn't surprise me if they upped the Mr. Pinchy rate, since it's still needed to get the Salty title.

Don't want to boast, I know he's all about luck, but is it possible the drop rate has changed? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7457 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:21:11 +0000 el 7457@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I just caught <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16218" title="Wowhead - Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Spirit." class="nocolor">Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Spirit</a> from Frostfire Hot Springs. And it can still be read! Or at least could be if I was an enchanter.</p> <p>At a guess, any random world drop recipe of the appropriate level could be lurking. This change probably occurs elsewhere - very likely in similar (425 skill) zones, but possibly more widely across Azeroth. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7455 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:41:47 +0000 el 7455@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Intriguing. Recipes are unexpected because, well, they get soggy in the water! Recipes do very rarely appear in Old Azeroth's crates (at least <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/mithril_bound_trunk.html" title="Fish Finder: Mithril Bound Trunk." class="nocolor" rel="item=21228">Mithril Bound Trunk</a>), but those aren't found in inland water (all <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/winterspring.html" title="Fish Finder: Winterspring.">Winterspring</a> is inland). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7454 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:01:10 +0000 smot_poker 7454@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was fishing in the little lake in winterspring and caught a recipe of some sort. My bags were full at the time so auto loot didn't pick it up and I cast too fast and lost it. I managed to see the word owl on it... So i'm guessing it's a JC trinket recipe. Anyway I notice no mention of it on the site, and have fished there alot and never caught it before, so I'm guessing it's something new. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7414 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 22:32:42 +0000 palm 7414@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just received 4 borean leather scraps from a reinforced crate today.

So for now, I think it's 1-3 Knothide Leather, 2-5 Fel Iron Ore, or 2-6 Netherweave Cloth. I haven't paid strict attention to lowest amounts, though. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7379 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:19:17 +0000 Bartiler 7379@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Interesting El, never looked at it that way . </p> <p>Just got back from hillsbrad farming and the +2 enchant still drops ^_^. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7378 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:32:50 +0000 el 7378@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The learnt spell still says "+2".</p> <p>The strange thing about enchantments is that technically, the number is simply written into the description. For most other spells, the description references the data actually used by the game.</p> <p>I don't think that is "bad coding": The enchant itself appears to be triggered by a server-side spell, so I assume that the game client simply doesn't have the data. But it might explain why an enchant formula can do something different when applied...</p> <p>Thanks all the information (on this and <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/curious_crate.html" title="Fish Finder: Curious Crate." class="nocolor" rel="item=27513">Curious Crate</a>). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7377 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:10:58 +0000 Bartiler 7377@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I wonder if they got rid of the +2 enchant for gloves since mine also got upped to the +5 fishing. did they just be nice and give us all with +5 since ours were already enchanted? anyone get the old +2 fishing enchant since this last patch came out? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7370 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:06:48 +0000 Scrimshaw 7370@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>espiru <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7362" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>My "Fingerless Gloves" with "Enchant Gloves - Fishing" (+2) now is automatically (+5)<br /> The same in 3 charanters.</p></blockquote> <p>Same here </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-33-changes#post-7369 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:51:26 +0000 Gummo 7369@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have now caught a Curious Crate with 6 netherweave cloth.
