During the STV Extravaganza, in pools next to each other, I got two Lucky Fishing Hats. On Wed &#38; Thurs, after doing the fishing dailies for about 3 weeks, I got the Truesilver Line &#38; Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat. This comes after finding BIFP in the first trap I opened when I went looking for it. I figure I've used up all my fishing luck at this point, and will never get get Salty because nothing else is gonna drop for me. :)</p> <p>Edited: After this initial post, I hit exalted on Sunday with the Kalu'ak and got their fishing pole... then got the Eternium line during STVE. ~still shaking my head at my fishing luck~ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/weather-beaten-fishing-hat-graphic#post-659 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:51:54 +0000 Calabar 659@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <blockquote><p>This isn't as great as it sounds. The best pole you can enchant and trade is the +20 Big Iron. Most Horde already have the BoP +25 Pagle pole, so there is nothing to gain from adding 3 or 5 to a +20 pole. And for Alliance, you still have to find the +20 Big Iron Fishing Pole, which takes a lot longer than gaining Seth's +20 pole.</p></blockquote> <p>Am I the only one who enjoyed going after the BIFP on the alliance side? I’d either take my paladin with his Deepdive Helm or my hunter with his Hydrocane and run a circuit opening traps. My tailor also made a sash for each of them that sped up their swim speed. It was rather like a treasure hunt. Between the poles I used for all my characters and what I gathered for friends I must have looted over twenty of those poles back in the day.</p> <p>I don’t know how well they would sell with lines attacked to them, but they would be very useful for alts. The BIFP can be used starting at level 25. The horde can’t pick up the quest for Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 until level 44. The alliance can’t get Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole until level 62. So an alt could make good use of a BIFP with a +3 or +5 line on it before he/she was high enough level for an upgrade. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/weather-beaten-fishing-hat-graphic#post-657 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:15:43 +0000 el 657@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Unless it changed recently, you can enchant a non-bound fishing pole and then trade it to another player or character. You cannot apply line enchants via the trade window or successfully sell the enchanted pole at auction, so you have less options than regular enchanting.</p> <p>This isn't as great as it sounds.

I would have assumed that using something like that on an equipped item that isn’t bound to you would make it so. But I guess it’s like enchanting a magic item you never equip. That’s good to know. I have several big iron fishing poles I can use them on and pass them to lower level characters. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/weather-beaten-fishing-hat-graphic#post-652 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:38:02 +0000 heraklen 652@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Can you enchant someones fishing pole in a trade?
