[Fishing] [2.4] Change to Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat

  1. By Kahless <Angler> 8 months ago

    I just logged on to the PTR and noticed they changed the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat.
    There was a small patch today.

    Was:
    101 Armor.
    +94 stamina.
    Use: Attach a lure to your equipped fishing pole, increasing Fishing by 75 for 10 minutes.

    Now:
    101 Armor
    +40 Stamina
    +40 Spirit
    Equip: Increased Fishing +5
    Use: Attach a lure to your equipped fishing pole, increasing Fishing by 75 for 10 minutes.

    Not as much Stam now but far more usefull IMO.
    It totally kills the Lucky Fishing Hat.

    Of course, this is all still subject to futher change befor release.

    Thanks Kahless. I can confirm the change, since the hat "dropped" for me this morning (image). I've altered the list of patch 2.4 fishing changes.

    The +5 fishing skill bonus is entirely logical, since it will stop people having to swap hats every 10 minutes. I am also glad that more rewards comparable to the contest items are appearing: Anglers that have the misfortune to work (or otherwise be unable to play Sunday afternoons) can now start to gain some of the benefits.

    Oh, and not a particularly important change because the hat is still BoP, but the level requirement has gone.

    So, what does it actually look like? I'm considering restarting my Wow accounts. If it isn't as stylish as my Lucky hat, I'll just tote around the lures.

    It is the same design worn by Old Man Barlo - a slightly darker brown, with a buckle. (Edit: El's avatar is currently sporting the hat, although it might not be visible to you yet, because the old avatar image is still cached.)
