![]() Personally I think winning the contest is one of the hardest activities in the entire game, particularly on a mature PvP realm. It will be interesting to see how many points they award for winning (the current points totals are place-holders only). So maybe we won't all have to win the Booty Bay contest again. ![]() Tigole (one of the designers) is active on various forums at the moment, giving the impression that Blizzard still haven't finished working on achievements. I assume that "The Deadliest Catch" requires a catch because some of the fish are not bound on pickup, so having them in your inventory means nothing. El did not, even though she has done them all many times. Interesting that you received the Old Man Barlo achievement retrospectively. I've updated the Wrath of the Lich King pages. Glad to see I'm not the only one fishing in the beta! I look forward to further reports. As we all know, fishing is never near the top of the developers' to-do lists, so it will likely be a while before fishing pools and new fish make it into Beta.Īs they do, though, I'll keep you updated. I haven't even found a Grand Master fishing trainer yet, and I don't expect to see one soon. That's about all there is to report on fishing in WotLK so far. Hopefully, this will be fixed as Beta progresses. If the game can look for such an item, it can clearly look for others like bind-on-pickup tournament victory items. For example, I got a "Feat of Strength" achievement because I have a really old, no longer available, epic mount in my bank. There are other achievements in the game that check for possessed items, though. It did not light up for me, despite me having in my possession and using both of the rewards available from the tournament. There is a "Master Angler of Stranglethorn" achievement but, frustratingly, it does not currently check to see if you've already won the tournament. The most interest achivement of all, though, is connected to the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. This achievement was lit up for me immediately upon entering Beta without having to do them all again. ![]() If you've done all five of them, this achievement lights up. There is also an achievement relating to the Old Man Barlo fishing quests. I submitted a "bug" suggestion regarding this. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box" achievement does not automatically light up the "The Deadliest Catch" achievement, although you obviously need to catch Mr. Pinchy achievements: one for getting his pet, the other for fishing him (or one of thirteen other rare fish). Going back to achievements, some of the most interesting achievements tie into Burning Crusade. It was just around 4 or 5 gold per stage.Īs also indicated here on El's Anglin', there's also a Northern Salmon quest fish, but I haven't done that quest yet. It took me a while to do the two-part series and there wasn't even a fun item reward. It's reminiscent of the Terokkar "Taken in the Night" quest where you have to free people from spider cocoons. You then get pulled into combat with whatever popped out. There is a "northern barb fish", which is the objective of a two-part quest where the first part involves literally banging on stuff that looks like seaweed until one of three things pops out: an undead spy, a crab, or the barbed fish. Sadly, there are no new "fishable" fish yet in the game. I was fortunate enough to be invited to Beta recently and, like any good (obsessed) angler, one of my first acts was to try fishing. Many are not yet finished but will be fleshed out as Beta unfolds. Topic: WotLK: Fishing and AchievementsĪs mentioned on the "Achievements" page here at El's Anglin, several (seventeen, to be exact) fishing-related achievements are so far planned for Wrath of the Lich King. ![]() These remarks have been written about this subject by El's readers in the forums. **: Quest-only fish and infrequent catches not shown. Northrend AreaĬommonly caught fish (from at least some of the water within the area)** For other continents, see Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Outland. ![]()
