I stopped doing the daily fishing quest for a while. Part of the reason was Children’s Week. I had about 11 characters to take through the Outland quests and about 40 characters to take through the Azeroth quests. So that took up a lot of time. But the main reason I stopped was because of that ricken fracken fishing hat. *sigh*
I was taking four characters through the fishing quests every day. Cashara got the fishing hat first day. Woot! I was a happy gamer, especially when I heard how rare of a drop it was. Then I got the hat a second time, again on Cashara. It was frustrating because I had three other characters who wanted that hat. So I reluctantly vendored it. Time passed and the hat dropped again. And again it was Cashara who got it. Once again I had to vendor it. And that just kind of sucked the fun out of the quests for me. So I stopped.
Last night, having finished all my pet quests from Children’s Week, I tried the fishing quest again. I started with Farli this time, my male dwarf hunter. And to my complete joy he got the fishing hat. I’m a happy gamer once again and I’ve forgiven the random loot generator.
Speaking of random loot generation, I’ve now gotten four fishing hats and three Eyes of the Sea, but I’ve yet to get a single monocle. I guess it’s called random for a reason.
