As a programmer, I can see why it could be very difficult to allow fishing poles to also get weapon enchants - those item slots are probably used for fishing line &#38; lures.</p> <p>Consider that <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Nat_Pagle's_Fish_Terminator">Nat Pagle's Fish Terminator</a>, which is a staff weapon, can get weapon enchants but can't be used for fishing. Hey El, maybe you should add it to the "poles" section with a note that it doesn't function as a fishing pole (though it uses the fishing pole icon). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-enchants#post-354 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:13:06 +0000 Auntjemyma 354@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I wanted to do the same thing. I don't see why we can't. Here is a like to my post about it on the customer service forums.<br /> <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5539956716&#38;sid=1" rel="nofollow">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=5539956716&#38;sid=1</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-enchants#post-349 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:41:33 +0000 Gummo 349@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm not sure if a fishing pole can be disarmed or not; Noor avoids combat, and simply getting hit won't automatically have her attack. But it can happen if she's trying to e.g. open an item and a mob moves in the way. Just click Noor in my character field and you can see she's level 39 with an unarmed skill of 2 (and daggers of 2, everything else 1). See <a href="http://pacifistundeadpriest.blogspot.com">my blog</a> for more. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-enchants#post-346 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:20:45 +0000 Oberweiss 346@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <blockquote><p>No, you don't skill up unarmed by using a fishing pole.

Yeah, I admit it has been a long time since I've whacked anything with a fishing pole.

Surely you get attacked occasionally, and in some of those case, the mob will disarm you.</p> <p>Is there a way to prevent yourself from 'automatically' attacking back? At those levels, every attack will raise your unarmed by 1. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-pole-enchants#post-343 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:19:36 +0000 Gummo 343@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>No, you don't skill up unarmed by using a fishing pole.
