I really wanted to win. So I did as many things as I could to get prepared including buying a lot of health potions, and switching my glyphs to help me escape the evil horde that killed me a few times. </p> <p>The contest just began, and about 5 minutes later, the winner was announced!! I was shocked. How could somebody win this fast. Luckily the winner was Alliance, so I deiced to whisper him. At first, he wouldn't tell me what he did to win, but after a while I gained his trust. He told me that earlier that day he contacted a GM and told him that he accidentally deleted 40 Speckled Tastyfish. The GM then gave him 40 and he handed them in right at the beginning. </p> <p>I was very disappointed with this and hopefully he didn't tell anymore people and give them ideas about cheating in this way! :( </p> <p>-Well at least I got my lucky fishing hat :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-luck#post-1539 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:37:11 +0000 Zero 1539@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>First let me say this site is awesome and got me addicted to fishing. </p> <p>I just recently started fishing and enjoy it. I just maxed out fishing mid last week. I did the fishing contest in STV for the first time yesterday. I fished up my 40 fish and realized that I forgot to set my hearth to BB. Thank god I was very close and just rode in and won. Also got the rare fish that gives the +5 line. I was pretty happy.</p> <p>This morning I log in and decide to go after Mr. Pinchy. Got him on my second pool. And got the pet on the first wish :)</p> <p>Hope everyone can feed off my luck a bit.</p> <p>Z- </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate#post-207 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:29:36 +0000 Leibolmai 207@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>I'm on my 12th tournament, and still haven't got the boots. Now I play on Dark Iron, meaning pvp is a hassle. </p> <p>What I've started to notice is that I get the hat every tournament. I've got the eternium line once.</p> <p>The hat I normally get around my 125-150th successful catch. The one time I got the line, it was around 225 (I also got the hat around 140 that tourny)</p> <p>Now its been really hard to get over 200 catches in 2 hours on the pvp server cause of the mass slaughter.</p> <p>I'm wondering if the 1/200, 1/100 successful catch ratio is right, but you always get the hat first, then the line, then the boots? So you would need to get over 300 catches for the boots.</p> <p>The one thing that through the # catches for a loop was my first tourny, I caught the fish for the hat on my very first cast. Boy I thought it was going to be so easy after that lol!</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Leibolmai, 62 Warrior </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/death-knight-the-new-stv-fishing-champion-class#post-2785 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:12:02 +0000 donquixote235 2785@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've just started playing a DK, getting it up to lvl 63. There is one skill that they have that makes me think that DK's are going to own the STV Fishing Extravaganza.</p> <p>That skill is Path of Frost:<br /> <strong>Path of Frost</strong><br /> <em>1 Frost</em><br /> <em>Instant</em><br /> The Death Knight's freezing aura creates ice beneath his feet, allowing him and his party or raid to walk on water for 10 min. Works while mounted. Any damage will cancel the effect.</p> <p>Emphasis: <strong><em>Works while mounted.</em></strong></p> <p>I can easily see a DK using this to ride his epic mount with his spurs and his riding whip up and down the STV coast along the water, not having to work around water hazards along the way. When he sees a pool, he dismounts and fishes, still standing 10 feet out into the water. After he fishes the pool, he mounts up. Lather, rinse, repeat.</p> <p>Also I can see this skill as bringing even more twinks into the fray... if you get a DK guildie to Path of Frost your lvl 19 char and your buddies, you can run up and down the coast without fear of getting attacked.</p> <p>Has anybody worked their fishing up on their DK yet, or encountered a DK using this ability in the STV extravaganza? I'm interested in hearing what luck you've had with STV. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/salty-awaits#post-2270 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:53:49 +0000 stirfry 2270@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've visited this site many a time and never registered or posted. However, after following your website's great advice - honed with the knowledge (supplied by a two-time winner I questioned) of where people on my server were fishing so I could avoid them - I finally won the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. I've been trying to win it for a year (give or take a few months where my tourney entry dropped off), and would just like to thank you guys. It means a lot to me...and now, even more than ever, the tourney win has extra importance.</p> <p>You see my toon's name is Stirfry, and after the achievement system was established, I can now look forward to working towards "Salty Stirfry."</p> <p>Thank you all again. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-win-and-rare-fish-in-the-same-tournament#post-2078 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:46:13 +0000 Doubled 2078@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Tried the STV Tournament today. Was still looking for that elusive 1st win. Didn't think I had much of a shot due to incresed participation by people trying to gain the achievement. About 10 minutes into the contest, I fished up a Rockhide Strongfish - One That Didn't Get Away achievement completed! Kept going, trying for the win. Felt I was doing pretty good. Then started getting close and no winner yet. Anticipation and a whole lot of anxiety going on. Got the 40th and no winner.... Hearthing never seemed like it took so long before. Turned it in - Win the STV Tourney achievement completed. This has to be the best fishing day I've had in a long time. Just wanted to share. Woot! </p>
