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.
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

Keep up the good work.

Like everyone else in Europe, I'm waiting to get online to see these. MMO-Champion is data mining, and not everything data mined actually appears in the game!
The pole was known about for some time, and we could probably guess Tuskarr rep. I presume there is a rep grind of some kind - beta El reached Revered on quests, but I didn't see a way to go higher.
If correct, the +30 skill looks like a good compromise: The contest still gives the best pole (at +35), but this is better than the +20/+25 from quests.
Oberweiss <Moderator>, 1 year ago:Yeah, it was kind of silly that the +25 fishing pole was exclusive to Horde. I'm glad casual Alliance fishers aren't stuck using +20 poles.
Gummo <The Pacifist>, 1 year ago:Is getting this pole likely to be added to the "Salty" title requirement?
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:There's no achievement directly involving the pole. There is "Tuskarrmageddon" for reaching exalted with Kalu'ak (no baby seals involved), but that's not related to any of the fishing achievements.
I hope it's not part of the fishing achievements, since the "epic" fishing pole is still not as good for fishing as the one from the Extravaganza.
Gummo <The Pacifist>, 1 year ago:It would also make sense that getting this pole would NOT be a fishing achievement nor part of getting the "Salty" title, because getting it doesn't really involve fishing (unless there are some mandatory fishing parts in unavoidable chain quests, which there might be).
Well, I'm pleased that it isn't better than the contest pole. I'm willing to overlook the "zomg shiny purplez!" aspect of it. Water breathing is nice, but one cannot fish while swimming.
Gummo <The Pacifist>, 1 year ago:It's possible to fish while swimming, barely:
1) mount up
2) ride out just to deeper water
3) immediately cast before you are auto-dismounted from the water
You can end up treading water while still having your line out, because you were out of the water during the cast.
I've done that, but it hardly leaves one in danger of drowning.

Haha, I never knew that. Then again, I primarily fish on a tall female tauren, so I can't say I've ever needed to.

Doesn't the daily quest give reputation past revered?
Only half-way through honored so far, so dying to know ... : )
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:Yes, Idoru - dailies give 500 rep each at revered. They were only added in the last week, and aren't all using the correct icons yet. So far I've found these available at revered:
Please add any others you've spotted, with your reputation level at the time.
Just hit Revered this morning, but while I was Honored, I could get Planning for the Future and The Way to His Heart
Haven't been near Kaskala for a while though, so I have missed that quest.
Btw, The Way to His Heart .... really cute quest : )
Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole has an additional stat for Druids who fish:
+1844 attack power.
