[Fishing] MoP: Anglers Preview

  1. Druidmoon <Investigator>, 1 year ago:

    Nice info el. Managed to get to the area this morning not helped by multi crashes atm with the new beta release.

    I see you have already noted the fishable 'Shipwreck Debris' pools to the west of Angler's Outpost in Krasarang Wilds. The placement does seem a little weird as some are not fishable from land, though there are some floating wooden crates you can fish from. Not sure I have seen anything like that before.

    These pools are related to the daily quest 'Scavenger Hunt' (though they will drop 'Rusty Shipwreck Debris' for the quest, not the current loot)

    You can currently ride the 'Thresher Shark Ride' shark close to John "Big Hook" Marsock. It has vehicle controls and it quite fun. Presumably one of the daily quests ('Jumping the Shark')

    The 'Goblin Fishing Raft' can be seem next to 'Fiznix <Explosive Fisherman> in the water. It did not interact but I will be interested to see how it moves/ is steered etc. and used for fishing. It is also used in the daily quest 'Scavenger Hunt';

    Scavenger Hunt makes perfect sense for those pools. Their placement is quirky, with many very difficult to fish from land.

    The Thresher Shark Ride felt like the ocean equivalent of that Storm Peaks daily quest where one flies around trying to kill the thing one is flying around on, while not getting knocked off.

    The crashes in the current build seem to be related to other players, so the further one gets away from busy questing areas, the more stable the client. And graphics quality set to low, which goes without saying...

    For reference, there is a raft currently available in Krasarang Wilds via a few quests at Nayeli Lagoon (details). This raft is a 60 minute buff, but behaves like a sea mount (but as fast as an epic mount on land), and can be fished from without dismounting. Image: Rafting.

    Grey question marks only appear if the NPC would offer a "yellow" quest, a non-daily at the appropriate level. I presume some pre-quests to unlock the dailies.

  5. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:

    Good catch, Nathanyel. I guess we'll have to wait until whatever quests are there become available.

    love all the new info...this is why this site is the best! Thanks el

  7. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:

    Wowhead is now listing a set of incomplete level 89 non-daily quests for The Anglers. Possibly related are these 16 quest-related crabs, which have just appeared. These quests might indicate why I am seeing grey icons at level 87.

    Blizzard have been adding another level to the beta level cap every 2-3 weeks, so I doubt we'll get confirmation of any of these quests for at least a month.

  8. Idoru <Investigator>, 1 year ago:

    Hit level 89 today, and the quest markers are still grey.

  9. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:

    Indeed, Idoru. I reached level 89 on Friday morning and everything was still grey. I think this is a case where data-mining needs to be treated with extreme caution. Since The Anglers' settlements were actively being populated over the last few beta builds (eg MoP: Sri-La Village), it is entirely likely The Anglers' quests are still a work in progress.

    Not sure where, but I read somewhere here there is only one fishing trainer in MOP. There are at least two. Master Lo at the Kun-Lai summit (coords 51.2, 40.2) also offers Zen fishing skill. I'm not a regular poster here, but the site is an excellent resource and, well... if this helps I'd be pleased.

  12. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 7 months ago:

    ...in the Training chapter, I think. Regardless you are correct: I completely forgot about the trainers in the monk area. Thanks.
