I almost spent the entire first day doing it too. I ate and drank infront of the computer while fishing....Then, today i cleaned out my guild bank and sold all of the fish. After realizing that they were in high demand right now on my server, i decided to go fish up some. 11th cast and i got the turtle....Some of my guild was trying for it too. I am so excited, i love this thing. But it seems to get you when you least expect it. I actually forgot about it for a while</p> <p>Zone: Grizzly Hills<br /> I was not even looking at my screen that second, I was merely going by sound. After I heard a acheivment sound and a bunch of whispers following within a second. I looked and saw it in my bag, But to my avail, the pool in front of me was not there. Either, i caught it in open water, or it was the last catch of that Glacial Salmon pool.....not sure. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/coralshell-turtle-a-mount/page/5#post-6690 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:50:15 +0000 Noellis 6690@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I had read that Pool of Blood is unconfirmed.

That doesn't mean it's going to show up soon, you still have a 20% chance each day of getting Blood is thicker. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wrath-fishing-dailies/page/5#post-6001 Sun, 03 May 2009 11:51:56 +0000 Renetta 6001@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The daily has been weird for me. After all this time I'm still missing to see Blood is thicker. Also I haven't gotten anything interesting in the bags yet. A friend of mine got the crawler doing the quest the first time though. I'm sure Blood is thicker is going to show up eventually though... any estimates yet what the respective chances are of the different quests? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wrath-fishing-dailies/page/5#post-5998 Sun, 03 May 2009 10:17:08 +0000 C Rage 5998@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Nevermind, the high test line is a known object. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/patch-31-made-fishing-bad#post-5906 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:08:06 +0000 leifs 5906@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Blizz added the epic stormjewels. that means that uber raiding guilds will expect folks to obtain the gems. that means that fishing was made rather easy.</p> <p>it is a huge change to go do a fishing daily quest and see many many other players fishing the same spot.</p> <p>on the other hand, it is nice to go to an ulduar raid and have 2 or 3 folks vieing to get their fish feasts deployed first. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/patch-31-made-fishing-bad#post-5891 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:34:58 +0000 Trann 5891@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think, like many other aspects of the game, blizzard is looking to accommodate everyone with parts of their game. I would imagine that fishing was fairly unpopular in TBC, so they wanted to lower the grindfest that it can become in order to get more people doing it.</p> <p>Yeah, it makes our semi-exclusive club less exclusive, but it's not so bad. I wish they would have kept the fishing zone requirements instead of allowing ppl to skill up anywhere, but w/e.

I have bought a total of 4 of these poles for a whopping 512 gold only now to see them selling for 52 copper each!!! This is outrageous...where is my other 509gold 98 silver?? Wasn't happy about the nerf on the stats...but i am not too keen on the game mechanics when it comes to weapons and such. Ok ...i can live with that. But when i tried to sell this back to the quartermaster, I got 13 copper! NO no ...thats not going to work.</p> <p>So for all of you who purchased this pole for 52 copper...congratulations! </p> <p>Will post the results when I hear something from the GM. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-nerf#post-5715 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:37:18 +0000 el 5715@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/16473140829-mastercraft-fishing-pole-response.html">Nethaera</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>In this case [Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole], this change was unintentional and no change was meant to occur to this item.
