What I'm told is that it doesn't matter where you fish, as long as you fish in pools. I was thinking about fishing pools in Wrath as I never got the turtle mount but was wondering if anyone had any advice or tricks. Where might the most pools, or most respawns happen? Anywhere in the world!</p> <p>Thanks for any input :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-and-achievements#post-1136 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:47:37 +0000 Itty 1136@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>As mentioned on the "Achievements" page here at El's Anglin, several (seventeen, to be exact) fishing-related achievements are so far planned for Wrath of the Lich King. Many are not yet finished but will be fleshed out as Beta unfolds.</p> <p>I was fortunate enough to be invited to Beta recently and, like any good (obsessed) angler, one of my first acts was to try fishing. Sadly, there are no new "fishable" fish yet in the game. There is a "northern barb fish", which is the objective of a two-part quest where the first part involves literally banging on stuff that looks like seaweed until one of three things pops out: an undead spy, a crab, or the barbed fish. You then get pulled into combat with whatever popped out. It's reminiscent of the Terokkar "Taken in the Night" quest where you have to free people from spider cocoons. In other words, not very fun. It took me a while to do the two-part series and there wasn't even a fun item reward. It was just around 4 or 5 gold per stage.</p> <p>As also indicated here on El's Anglin', there's also a Northern Salmon quest fish, but I haven't done that quest yet.</p> <p>Going back to achievements, some of the most interesting achievements tie into Burning Crusade. There are two Mr. Pinchy achievements: one for getting his pet, the other for fishing him (or one of thirteen other rare fish). Oddly, the "Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box" achievement does not automatically light up the "The Deadliest Catch" achievement, although you obviously need to catch Mr. Pinchy to get his box. I submitted a "bug" suggestion regarding this.</p> <p>There is also an achievement relating to the Old Man Barlo fishing quests. If you've done all five of them, this achievement lights up. This achievement was lit up for me immediately upon entering Beta without having to do them all again.</p> <p>The most interest achivement of all, though, is connected to the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. There is a "Master Angler of Stranglethorn" achievement but, frustratingly, it does not currently check to see if you've already won the tournament. It did not light up for me, despite me having in my possession and using both of the rewards available from the tournament. There are other achievements in the game that check for possessed items, though. For example, I got a "Feat of Strength" achievement because I have a really old, no longer available, epic mount in my bank. If the game can look for such an item, it can clearly look for others like bind-on-pickup tournament victory items. Hopefully, this will be fixed as Beta progresses. I submitted a suggestion on this, too.</p> <p>That's about all there is to report on fishing in WotLK so far. I haven't even found a Grand Master fishing trainer yet, and I don't expect to see one soon. As we all know, fishing is never near the top of the developers' to-do lists, so it will likely be a while before fishing pools and new fish make it into Beta.</p> <p>As they do, though, I'll keep you updated.</p> <p>Happy fishing!<br /> Itty, Stormreaver </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/epic-fishing-pole#post-1402 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:50:09 +0000 Melchizedek 1402@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Firstly i want to say hi, this is my first time posting, although i've been a frequent visiter for some time, especially recently with all the WotLK info coming out.</p> <p>I;'ve just visited MMO-Champion and found soemthing of interest for my fellow fishers, it seems that the Kalu'ak faction has a an epic fishing pole as a reputation award for exhalted the link to it is here<br /> <a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/september/8962/tk_4_01.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/september/8962/tk_4_01.jpg</a></p> <p>Keep up the good work. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/northrend#post-2346 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:39:40 +0000 Furie 2346@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was just wondering if the fishing and cooking guides here will be updated for the new WOTLK expansion that will be upon us next week? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-achievement-wishlist#post-1106 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:18:47 +0000 el 1106@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Lurking in the beta are quite a few <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/achievements.html">fishing achievements</a>.

I remember reading about an achievement that would be rewarded to the first person to reach 450 fishing on a server. I no longer see it around, though. Has it been removed? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/title-master-angler#post-547 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 21:52:48 +0000 Pipre 547@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I came across this post in the <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5103778843">Official Suggestions Forum</a>. It's a petition of sorts for Blizz to add the title of 'Master Angler' to the game, so that those who have achieved it through doing the Fishing Tournament will be able to show to everyone else in the game how awesome they are.</p> <p>There are some pretty good suggestions in there, and I totally love the idea of being 'Master Angler Petre'. Almost to the point where if that were the only change in WLK I'd still buy it!</p> <p>Wondering what the rest of you think about the idea of officially being 'Master Anglers'.</p> <p>-Petre </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-change-in-wotl#post-1320 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 10:12:48 +0000 Salley 1320@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>A few weeks back i read about that fishing wasnt much interactive and that it will change to make it more "fun".</p> <p>Personally i really like how it is now, its very relaxing and i can watch TV or read on internet while im doing it. If it becomes anything like the fishing (mini)games i played on console i doubt i'll keep on fishing and just idle in a city instead.</p> <p>Any news regarding this? Hate to see fishing being turned into a time your click then hammer a key thing :/ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1222 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:41:12 +0000 Thalen 1222@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Very preliminary, but I discovered today that you can fish in the sewers in Dalaran, first place I've seen in there that didn't tell me there were no fish there.</p> <p>I've seen 3 fish so far (pygmy suckerfish, glassfin minnow, and bonescale snapper). They're all white text, so you can't eat these for health or anything, but they're probably cookable at some point.</p> <p>Looks like my leveling is on hold, I'm off to find more!</p> <p>(got quite a few 'fish got away' wearing just my arc pole and the hat/boots, but with the hat lure applied, I was getting pretty much 0 misses, and the fish were coming up 2 at a time). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/cant-get-enough#post-1128 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 08:40:27 +0000 Graverobber 1128@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i can't get enough info out of WoLK, i'm a big fisherperson. has anyone got anymore info. i need it, i'm going nuts not knowing, also EL you should have an NPC of your own just like Breanni from world of warcraft pets your doing a great job keep up the good work </p> <p>Graverobber<br /> Argent Dawn </p>
