I'd seen a similar list on MMO-Champion earlier yesterday.</p> <p>It transpires that there are quite a lot more recipes via the new daily cooking quests in Dalaran. It's a token system, where each daily rewards a single "Dalaran Cooking Award", and you then trade in the awards for recipes and reagents. There are 5 dailies available as I type, but like Jewelcrafting, I'm not sure how much choice there will be on live.</p> <p>I'll write this up in full "later", but to give some idea, here are the (unchecked) buffs from the fishing-related token recipes:</p> <p>80 Attack Power, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Critical Rating, 40 Stamina<br /> 16 MP5, 40 Stamina<br /> 46 Spell Power, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Haste Rating, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Hit Rating, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Spirit, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Agility, 40 Stamina<br /> 40 Strength, 40 Stamina </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1272 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:10:38 +0000 Zhivago 1272@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Not really just fishing, but as so many Fishers are Cookers, thought this post from <a href="http://www.worldofraids.com">World Of Raids</a> with these new cooking recipes would be helpful:</p> <p><a href="http://www.worldofraids.com/gallery/files/1/8885_cooking_original.jpg">WotLK Cooking Recipes</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1270 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:30:59 +0000 el 1270@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just under 1,000 catches from 375 to 450, as <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/wrath_fishing.html">described here</a>.</p> <p>I should add: What I don't know yet is whether 300-375 has been made easier.</p> <p>Oh: And I couldn't find a Horde fishing trainer in Borean Tundra.

Do you have any idea how many catches per skill level will be need to reach it? </p> <p>I thought going from 6 to 10-11 at 300 was a big jump. Hopefully we don't need significantly more. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1249 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:41:52 +0000 el 1249@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Added everything I know so far to the Fish Finder - see <a href="/fish/?s=pools" title="Fish Finder - pools.">pools</a>. I will write it up in more detail later. Tentatively, all the pools have a 100% catch rate of the named fish.</p> <p>I get the feeling that these pools are not yet fully implemented or balanced. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1247 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:13:56 +0000 el 1247@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Some pools have been added into the latest build: It looks like pools have been added for the less common fish in each zone. So there are schools for <a href="/fish/?s=Glassfin Minnow" title="Fish Finder - Glassfin Minnow.">Glassfin Minnow</a> and <a href="/fish/?s=Fangtooth Herring" title="Fish Finder - Fangtooth Herring.">Fangtooth Herring</a>, but not the more common <a href="/fish/?s=Bonescale Snapper" title="Fish Finder - Bonescale Snapper.">Bonescale Snapper</a> - the same sort of approach used in Outland.</p> <p>Plus the trainer in Dalaran is offering Master (previously learnt from the book) and Grand Master (375-450) training (but nothing lower). Grand Master is reported broken on the test forums.</p> <p>Unfortunately the server seems to be struggling a little more than usual (and "usual" is pretty dire), both with crashes, disconnects, and a tendency to de-sync in a weird way, all of which makes spotting changes a painfully slow process. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1234 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:19:36 +0000 GIGAR 1234@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>They should really add some fishing quest that gives XP for lover lvls D:<br /> It's boring as hell to lvl, fishing is just so much more fun :p </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1232 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:13:27 +0000 smoo 1232@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Maybe you expect more, but there was the part in the Interview - Jon LeCraft (Profession designer), and some information scattered(?) through the news over the last past days. :)</p> <p>But youre right, there was no major newspost regarding the fishing... :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1228 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:49:06 +0000 el 1228@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Smoo: Could you link to the precise information please?

I'd welcome additions, particularly on rare fish (there don't seem to be any yet) and pools (aside from quests, I've only found <a href="/fish/?s=Nettlefish School" title="Fish Finder - Nettlefish School.">Nettlefish School</a>, and even then, only a handful of spawn points). I suspect fishing is only about half done.</p> <p><a href="/fish/?s=Pygmy Suckerfish" title="Fish Finder - Pygmy Suckerfish.">Pygmy Suckerfish</a> are usable by Alchemists to create Pygmy Oil (which essentially turns you into a <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/images/?i=pygmified_full.jpg">gnome with a scary mask</a> - probably exciting if you aren't a gnome already). Otherwise, I suspect we're going to have to wait for Cooking recipes to appear.</p> <p>The 2 obvious bugs at the moment are unnamed coastal areas containing inland fish (just like the TBC Azeroth zones) and some quirks in <a href="/fish/?s=Dalaran" title="Fish Finder - Dalaran.">Dalaran</a>, where if the bobber lands very close to a wall, the skill requirement is minimal and the catch includes <a href="/fish/?s=Raw Brilliant Smallfish" title="Fish Finder - Raw Brilliant Smallfish.">Raw Brilliant Smallfish</a>.</p> <p>(I'm still slightly bemused by the fact that all the main WoW news sites completely missed the introduction of fishing.) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wotlk-fishing-is-in#post-1223 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:04:11 +0000 Thalen 1223@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Quick update...it's not much Dalaran, I've been fishing up imperial Manta Rays, Borean Man 'O Wars, and Rockfin Groupers in Valiance Keep (between crippling waves of lag &gt;.&lt;) </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>
