Fishing Plus: The Reel Content
All the classic enjoyers know that the real classic endgame is fishing. Because all the fake leaks don’t mention it at all let’s take the time to go over all the good stuff fishing could offer us in classic plus!
Rare fish: uncommon/rare/epic fish with appropriate drop rates can now be caught across zones in Azeroth. Rewards for your fishing feats to be discovered.
Fishable (world)bosses: all dungeons and raids with fishable water should have at least one fishable boss. For now that includes deadmines wailing caverns, blackfathom deeps, ragefire chasm, blackrock depths and MC. Honorable mention to ZF and ZG for effectively already having one.
Fishable worldbosses could heavily hint to older warcraft games or pop culture with bosses like the gnomish submarine, goblin war turtle, black pearl, and an un’goro mosasaur.
Elemental pools: all elements represented in appropriate zones: air on stormy coastal areas, earth in mountainous zones, fire from zones with hotsprings or lava. Life from zones with titan/druid association, and undead pools in zones like plaguelands and felwood.
Lava fishing: nat pagle will send you into BRD to learn this skill from his dwarven fishing buddy. You might have to go through some length to talk to the deceased dwarf to find out how to construct a hardened dark iron fishing reel. Enables lava fishing, new bosses in ragefire chasm, blackrock depths and molten core become available.
Seasonal fishing: expanded to include the spring and autumn equinox.
Fishing gear progressing from uncommon through epic, possibly tied into the rare fish to a degree. Some tuskarr on coastal winterspring might be interested in your legendary catches.
Other professions can also tie into aiding fishing: cooking allows you to turn common fish and empty fishing buckets into chumbuckets to spawn new fishing pools, or sharks if you are unlucky/unskilled.
Engineering tools might allow fishing applications if both skills are properly developed: netomatic projector to fish, or get trapped underwater, and explosives to quickly deal with pools.
In addition crabcages and harpoons could be an additional way to catch different sea creatures.
Sea you in Azeroth +++
