Moonglow Cuttlefish Schools were introduced in today's build, so the Northrend Angler achievement can be completed now. I found a few pools south of Borean Tundra in The Frozen Sea, so it's likely that they appear all over The Frozen Sea "zone". I'll double-check the areas around Icecrown and Sholazar Basin after I get some rest to see if they have been renamed from "The Frozen Sea (Northrend)" and had any fishing pools/areas introduced around there. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-and-achievements/page/2#post-1362 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:51:47 +0000 Oberweiss 1362@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was lucky enough to be sent a beta invite today, so hopefully I can help gather data once I get settled.
