A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools.
A new clam, the Giant Darkwater Clam, can be obtained by fishing in Wintergrasp. This mighty clam has a greatly increased chance to drop pearls, and yields up to five times the regular amount of clam meat.
New fishing dailies are now offered from Marcia Chase in Dalaran City!
Players are no longer required to do the Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme quest to gain Artisan fishing. The quest now offers a special superior-quality fishing pole instead. If you already completed the quest, you can visit Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh to receive this new fishing pole.
The time needed to catch fish has been reduced.
You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.
You can now fish in Wintergrasp, and the fishin' is good!
You no longer need to learn fishing from books. The trainers have finally done their reading and are able to teach you the same thing.
I can't tell you how glad I am to see these changes! REASONS to fish in Northrend! Pearls from WG! A Mount! And new dailies?! These are all great changes, right on the money! Thanks Blizz!
