[Fishing] more 3.3 changes

  1. Gummo <The Pacifist>, 3 months ago:

    Old behavior: If you did a successful cast, then tried another cast that failed (e.g. "Your cast did not land in fishable water"), your first cast still persisted.

    New behavior: the second failed cast will cancel your first cast.

    Loot change: Curious Crates now give up to (at least) 5 netherweave cloth or 5 fel iron ore, and (so far) up to 3 Knothide Leather. Haven't seen Knothide Leather Scraps yet.

  2. espiru <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    My "Fingerless Gloves" with "Enchant Gloves - Fishing" (+2) now is automatically (+5)

    The same in 3 charanters.

    Same with mine.

    Mine also mysteriously upgraded. I have screen shots with an effective skill of 670.

    Rod + Line + Lure + Hat + Gloves + Boots + Tuskarr + Rumsey
    40 + 5 + 100 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 50 + 10 = 220

    This is the highest possible fishing score prior to the kuluak fishing derby.

  5. Gummo <The Pacifist>, 3 months ago:

    I have now caught a Curious Crate with 6 netherweave cloth. I'm pretty sure the Knothide Leather Scraps have been replaced by 1-3 Knothide Leather.

    Same here

  7. Bartiler <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    I wonder if they got rid of the +2 enchant for gloves since mine also got upped to the +5 fishing. did they just be nice and give us all with +5 since ours were already enchanted? anyone get the old +2 fishing enchant since this last patch came out?

  8. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 3 months ago:

    The learnt spell still says "+2".

    The strange thing about enchantments is that technically, the number is simply written into the description. For most other spells, the description references the data actually used by the game.

    I don't think that is "bad coding": The enchant itself appears to be triggered by a server-side spell, so I assume that the game client simply doesn't have the data. But it might explain why an enchant formula can do something different when applied...

    Thanks all the information (on this and Curious Crate).

  9. Bartiler <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    Interesting El, never looked at it that way .

    Just got back from hillsbrad farming and the +2 enchant still drops ^_^.

  10. Gummo <The Pacifist>, 3 months ago:

    El, a bit of a correction to your change to Curious Crates, the lower amount isn't 5, I think it's 2, and I've never gotten 6 fel iron ore, just 5. So for now, I think it's 1-3 Knothide Leather, 2-5 Fel Iron Ore, or 2-6 Netherweave Cloth. I haven't paid strict attention to lowest amounts, though.

    Just received 4 borean leather scraps from a reinforced crate today. Fished out of the river in Crystalsong Forest

  12. smot_poker <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    I was fishing in the little lake in winterspring and caught a recipe of some sort. My bags were full at the time so auto loot didn't pick it up and I cast too fast and lost it. I managed to see the word owl on it... So i'm guessing it's a JC trinket recipe. Anyway I notice no mention of it on the site, and have fished there alot and never caught it before, so I'm guessing it's something new.

  13. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 3 months ago:

    Intriguing. Recipes are unexpected because, well, they get soggy in the water! Recipes do very rarely appear in Old Azeroth's crates (at least Mithril Bound Trunk), but those aren't found in inland water (all Winterspring is inland).

  14. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 3 months ago:

    I just caught Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Spirit from Frostfire Hot Springs. And it can still be read! Or at least could be if I was an enchanter.

    At a guess, any random world drop recipe of the appropriate level could be lurking. This change probably occurs elsewhere - very likely in similar (425 skill) zones, but possibly more widely across Azeroth.

  15. Blythe <Angler>, 2 months ago:

    Could be incredible luck, but post 3.3 I caught two Mr Pinchy's within minutes of each other. Don't want to boast, I know he's all about luck, but is it possible the drop rate has changed?

    • Character: Blythe (EU-Quel'thalas-A).
  16. Gummo <The Pacifist>, 2 months ago:

    It wouldn't surprise me if they upped the Mr. Pinchy rate, since it's still needed to get the Salty title. But it's hard to measure changes in low drops rates...

  17. Nemari <Angler>, 2 months ago:

    Just another data point for a possibly increased droprate: After I read this thread, I decided to go fishing this morning. I got him on my 5th pool. In my bags are 14 furious crawdad and 6 golden darters. I was also lucky to get the pet at my first wish.

  18. Basill <Salty Magocrat>, 2 months ago:

    .. Fishing is so fun :) who knew you could catch http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2555
    in Ogrimmar... yay 1200+ fish, but no Old crafty. ;(

    Got bored and went to fish Mr.Pinchy... after about 212 catches.. I got the crate and the pet in first wish, also noticed, the Knothide leather dont comes as scrap anymore, got about 12 crates, 4 of those contained 3-4 knothide leather

  19. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 2 months ago:

    So it looks like world drop recipes are showing up in any inland Old Azeroth water, even the easier waters, like Ogrimmar.

  20. Jon M <Angler>, 1 month ago:

    My sincere apologies if this is already known to you
    I have a level 20 Alt fishing open water off the dock in North (he just took the boat from Menthil).
    I have fished for about 20 min almost every day.
    Skill 450 + strong pole with + 75 lure.
    I get approx 1% catch of crystalized water and 1% curious crate.
    The crates break down to 33% cobalt ore (3-5), 33% frostweave cloth (3-5) and 33% borean leather scraps (3-5).
    No money, no greens
    I have done this long enough to accumulate almost 30 cobalt ore, 12 full borean leather (5 pieces combine to make 1 full piece) and 28 frostweave.
    I hope this is helpful
    Jon M
