This is now the first item on my list of things I must have... o_O

That aside, nice to see an attainable fishing pole that is comparable to the Arcanite Fishing Rod from the fishing contest. And I am guessing this will be purchasable from a rep vendor for the faction.

Commento di ilfuso

Arcanite Fishing Pole + Hook of the Master Angler are still preferable, imho

Commento di 21334

A very nice alternative to the Arcanite pole if you have trouble winning or get attacked a lot while attempting to win the contest (I.E. PVP server) plus a lot of people will prefer to Rep Grind a faction then try to win the contest

and what with the fishing lines either the +3 or +5 not to mention Captain Rumsey's Lager this is better for the more common angler but I'm sure the diehard fishermen will have this and the arcanite pole

not to mention its not a bad melee weapon

Very nice! Blizz

Commento di 199099

I'm just glad to see that there's a new graphic model for a fishing pole. It's been like, what, four years since the Big Iron fishing pole graphic? :P

Commento di Wanderingfox

It's equivalent to BOTH fishing tourney items, but with the added advantage of not having to give up a trinket slot for the hook (and there shouldn't be a 30 second wait time for the water breathing to kick in like the hook has). Kind of sad to see that the arcanite pole has an extra 5 fishing on it, but that's a small enough change that it shouldn't matter much.

Commento di 17624

One nice thing about the underwater breathing feature of this very fine pole is that always-on underwater breathing is now available to rogues and paladins, who can't equip staffs like the Hydrocane. I don't think deathknights can either, so that's one more class who will like this (especially as deathknights will have better things to do than fetching hydrocanes, no doubt).

Commento di 11655

Similar but not equivalent. Arcanite Fishing Pole still has +5 fishing which can definitely make a difference when fishing, depending on your skill and where you are. Also, the Hook of the Master Angler also increases your swim speed in addition to giving you underwater breathing.

Personally, I am glad that the tournament fishing pole is still better.

Commento di 130773

Finally, a new fishing pole model! looks pretty sweet too!

Commento di 128242

Ya, that ring is not practical in any sense of the word for what you get, consider how cheap water-breathing potions are (and how little you use it). Even if hypothetically an entire instance was underwater, using a handful of a water-breathing elixirs would be easier than doing that quest chain. So unless you already have the ring, I see no point in trying to get it.

It's a cool pole with a cool feature. That's all. Is there better? Sure. But this is way easier to get.

Commento di 201755

The best thing is the look, ultimately! And the epicness too...

Commento di Hiddenshadows57

It's funny that this fishing pole isn't better then the Arcanite Fishing pole.

For one, this item has an item level of 200, which is 180 item levels higher then the arcanite fishing pole, It's also an epic quality item. It's absolutely stupid that it isn't better then the arcanite fishing pole. So what? the higher the item level the more dps on the fishing pole? that's it? Why can't it have +40 or +50 fishing skill.

Blizzard you confuse me.

Commento di FordPrfct

In my opinion, they ought to keep the Fishing Extravaganza as it is now, but have a quest in Northrend to allow an upgrade of the Arcanite pole. This would provide for a new level of pole, without punishing those who have already managed to win the tournament. Since there are about 160 people per realm, maximum, who have won this pole, I think that it should still be the top available, and a visible mark of your fishing dedication and skill, especially with the Achievement that requires having won.

Heck, make the quest a Northrend Fishing Tour, much like the one from Nat Pagle, so that the upgrade isn't simply given to the holders of the Arcanite poles.

I do agree, though, that we need an upgraded pole.

Commento di subtotal

hmmm, i like the idea of a fishing pole upgrade... say:

"Hardened Khorium Fishing Pole"
+50 Fishing skill
Equip: Duration of your lures is increased by 100%
Requires: Fishing (375)

maybe have the quest start from a fishing daily item (high drop rate)
"Battered fishing reel"
-flavour text: "I can fix this!"
This item starts a quest

Commento di 214776

hypotheticaly u could have this at a fairly low lvl if u had some to help u rep grind and gaurd u while u fish in higher lvl areas

Commento di Hilda

The only way to "grind" rep with The Kalu'ak is through questing, either one-offs or dailies, there's no way you'd get this at a 'low level.'

Commento di 147350

the "water Breathing" is for when something really big grabs the lure and pulls you underwater ...

Commento di 206709

Warriors can dual wied Maces, Swords and Axes only. So no your wrong.

Commento di JElmore

Agreed! When I saw that this pole allowed for underwater breathing, I saw it as an opportunity to reclaim a bag slot by replacing my Hydrocane and my Big Iron Fishing Pole. The best part about the Big Iron pole is that it doesn't soulbind, so it's going to my hunter alt.

It's not like we have to worry about drowning much anymore with a 3-minute breath timer, but I'm curious to know what Blizzard has in store for us air-breathers in the new expansion....

Commento di 193932

Finally, rogues get underwater breathing..

Commento di Chaserbl

LOOK AT THE DPS SIDE OF THIS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Commento di Zukiji

Would have been nicer if Blizz put Water 'Walking' on this instead of Breathing :/

Commento di 153886

Due to the ease with which you can get reputation with the Kalu'ak, expect to see tons of players running around with this; the additional equip bonus is nice, and it's obviously targeted at folks who haven't won the STV contest.

Commento di Yuksu93

i'm so close to getting this, the only annoying thing is that you only get 1500 rep a day with these guys after you do all the one off qs so you can only do the 3 dailies so it'll still be 10 days before i can get this.

Commento di 253893

From what i have seen, there are only 2 daily quests for the Kalu'ak, each giving 500 reputation.

Though with quests in Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord and the Dragon blight, with only 1 or 2 days of daily questing mixed in, i was revered and about 2k towards exaled.

As for the rod selling for 25g, last i checked (with my friendly rep discount) it was over 100g so price given may be wrong

Commento di NoMetal

Kalu'ak Reputation is gained ONLY through Questing, this means that low level character won't be able to get this pole as weapon ;-)
So, no, your twink will not be able to get a weapon that can instant kill anyone of his level, sorry...

And about Neapolis Post:

Here's something to think about... This fishing pole does more than twice the damage the Hand of Ragnaros can do. Funny how things like that work, eh?

You have to consider that the Hand of Ragnaros has a iLevel of 80 instead this has a iLevel of 200.
Since with a fishing pole you cannot use skills, also you don't get any strength, stamina, chance on hit or equip effect other than the fishing ones, the damage is pretty justified by the iLevel :)

Commento di 222540

Warriors can also equipt this with another weapon =D happy fishing!

Commento di sasexw

Sorry for disturbing your party but am i blind or it says Requires Level 70 and has a 186.5 damage per second ?Well if this is true then a level 70 twink will definitely want it!

Imagine a warrior with bladestorm using this baby...

Just imagine !

Commento di Ametrine

Considering how much the Tuskarr culture revolves around fishing, it fits that one of their Exalted quest rewards would be a special pole.

Commento di 162976

Can you do enough quests to get exalted without dinging 71? Cause this item could pack quite a punch for alvl 70 twink even without special attacks and especially now that its harder to find a group for the best weapons like Apolyon,

Commento di cassady

All level 80 dungeons give Horde Expedition or Alliance Vanguard reputation by default. By wearing the appropriate tabard, you can choose to change this to Argent Crusade, Ebon Blade, Kirin Tor or Wyrmrest Accord reputation instead. There is no championing mechanic for other factions (Sons of Hodir, Kalu'ak, Oracles, Frenzyheart, etc.). Gaining reputation with those factions can only be accomplished by completing quests, including daily quests (similar to Ogri'la or Netherwing in Burning Crusade).

Commento di 38108

great fishing pole, but fishing with it, it bugs me to no end that the pole is "backwards" to my senses. eg; the pole bends toward your body, not toward the weight of the fish pulling. and while I know it's not an error, it still seems really weird. The way all the Tusker people hold it, at least they get to hold it at at about a 45'degree angle, not straight up and down like we do.

Commento di Veum

This fishing rod is acctelly very good for 70 twincing, high DPS though no stats

Commento di 237177

I reached exalted just to get the pet (which is awesome) but I understand that this fishing pole is great, so maybe I should level up fishing. I'm not sure if I've even learned fishing yet, lol.

Commento di 51311

I wonder if a fury warrior could dual wield two of these...anyone tried?

Commento di 37183

No you cannot Dual wield a weapon that is " unique ".

who i get Exalted with The Kalu`ak? easy and fast?

Commento di 252897

With the change to feral druid AP conversion from weapons in the next patch, this staff will actually give you 1841 AP in feral forms.

Too bad the stats arent too good : (

Commento di typomouse

Just picked this baby up along with Pengu. Upon compairing things between it and the sword I had before picking up the pole arm they also sell I was embaressed.

It's very sad when a FISHING POLE is more powerful than your current weapon!

Commento di 92983

After the Feral AP changes in 3.0.8 this fishing pole will give 1844 Feral AP.
Now that's really epic and easier obtainable feral weapon with such stats.

Commento di 283822

Since you can't use abilities with a fishing pole and as far as I know you use abilities through your main hand.

Theoretically, can a Titan Grip specced warrior use this for his offhand? Or does the same apply as with staffs, not usable in offhand.

Commento di Lucid

On WoWhead, you can click on any special effects on an item, usually in green.

In this case, clicking "Allows underwater breathing", you are directed to a page of all of the other items which use this same ability. Which will reveal : Band of Icy Depths.

Commento di Tomaten

"made for ganking"

Commento di whitedragon254

Saw a level 70 with this in the BG today, mad funny cause he was killing like everyone with a fishing pole.

Commento di saluce65

This pole is certainly one way to level up that Unarmed combat skill for those that cannot wield Fist weapons.

Commento di 249835

considering the DPS, are you supposed to actually use a hook with this thing or do you take it and beat the living crap out of the fish?

Commento di moomoospit

As a druid who's won the fishing contest and has kept their prized arcanite rod with eternium line in their inventory pretty much since he's gotten it, I've got no real use for this. So of course I farmed and grinded for it. The upshot is that I get a cute penguin too.
I am a little curious why the line remains slack even when you're reeling in, though.

Commento di 182101

That is a meancing fishing pole. This would be Mr. T's fishing pole. "I PITY THE FISH!".

Commento di vaad

Anyone know if this will be affected by the druid changes in 3.0.8, and what it will be in Feral Attack Power?

Commento di 307101

Damn this thing is expensive for a fishing pole.

Commento di 307391

it would be nice to get better fishing lures tho still a pain that the best we have is plus 100 /sigh not menthion all the plus gear to fishing is the stv fishing quests wich are a huuuuuuge pain in the bum

Commento di 24472

Now gives 1844 Feral AP on my 80 Druid.

Commento di 124038

As of 3.0.8, if you're a druid, this staff will also read:

"Increases attack power by 1844 in cat, bear, dire bear, and moonkin forms only."

in addition to the fishing and water breathing

Commento di 275884

Has No-one Noticed that it only gives +30 fishing as to Arcanite Pole with + 35! , IMO this thing is epic Therefore it should Have at Least +40 maybe even +50 :S ,

Commento di Darkdelija

The king among all fishing poles, its epic, the looks is epic(unlike the old boring metal sticks) and the stats and dps are epic.This pole is pure epic, so rock on little fat walrus people !

Commento di 271529

This fishing pole is not enchantable. I tried to put Mongoose on it today and it gives the error of "Invalid target". Although I have not tried to do any other enchants I can imagine that it would yield the same result.

Commento di 81112

Kinda weird.. Since patch 3.0.8 this fishing pole gives Feral Attack Power.

Commento di 182003

I like the underwater breathing part.

Commento di 315075

This may seem like a silly observation, but this weapon would be better for feral druids.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34198 drops in Sunwell, and note is only have 1195 ap, plus 75 from the agility, another 94 from attack power. This gives a total of 1134 AP, while http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44050 adds 1843.

Of course it's ilvl is 200, much higher than the Sunwell Staff but the fact that its requirement is 70 makes me wish there were 70 twinks.

Commento di TriniKrusader

I feel it for the poor lowbies on PvP servers who get one-shotted by a crazy 70+ with a fishing pole.

Commento di Natrina

Errr, I think the joke was lost on you mate. He was kinda point out how the Hand of Ragnaros, a legendary that can only gained via slaying a mighty Lord Elemental and his entire legion of minions is out done by a simple fishing pole use by fat fish people. :P

Commento di rubino7

i dont understand why you need dps for fishing :|

Commento di llubtoille

I've just started leveling my lev70 druid
given that a druid can still use special attacks whether it's a fishing pole or a mace, is there any reason why I shouldn't try and obtain this while leveling?
if I do all the quests, it would take about 14 days to reach exalted (of doing the dailys)

Commento di 316564

My 2h can't even compete with this...

Commento di asktgm

this has been nerfed to a pathetic 9 dps as of patch 3.1

Commento di 331468

For clarity sake here are the pre-patch 3.10 damage stats:
Two-Hand
Fishing Pole
447 - 672 Damage
Speed 3.00
(186.5 damage per second)
Durability 75 / 75

Pre-patch was my Priest Toon's best melee damage weapon, used it in BGs when going one on one vs a class that cast silence on me (Mage, Lock and Felhunter, or a Shadow Priest) or one on one vs a Disc Priest that had drained all my mana. Now almost anything is better. - sigh

Commento di evankimori

Please note that with Patch 3.1, the price of this pole has been drastically lowered from 128g 4s 48c to its current price: 13c.

Commento di dangerfox

Purchased for 52c at exalted. Makes me wish I could get my 100+g back from pre patch...

Commento di 182763

this was buy far the best feral druid weapon for 70 to 80 before it got nerfed. ididnt realize it had all the feral attackpower taken away and while i was running WG people were yelling at me to put away my fishing pole took me about 4-5 deaths to realize that it was nerfed thanks blizz now i have to go find a new weapon now that i got rid of my good staff because i had gotten the pole

Commento di sasexw

This is the lowest DPS epic weapon currently in game

Commento di 278900

because there are many quests that require you to kill things whilst underwater, and beating on them w/ a (currently) 9.0 dps pole just wont cut it

Commento di Konishi

Just to clarify, the price of this item is currently bugged in Patch 3.1.1, it costs 52 copper at Exalted (previously 52 gold). So if you're not far off Exalted, I would work toward getting this before the price is fixed ;)

Commento di 148292

Unless my WoW is totally wacky after the latest patch (3.1.2, I think), the pole is epic once again! :) The conversion process has left it in a damaged state.

The other "rare" poles appear to be on par as well, at least the Jeweled flavor has damage about equal to this one (it's the only other rare pole I own). Alas, my level 20 rogue can no longer use his restored Big Iron Fishing Pole" since it has a level requirement (again?).

Commento di 331316

So maybe this is issue with pole stats being in my cache but I just updated to 3.1.2, got exalted with Kalu'ak, bought pole and once again has 186.5 dps!

Commento di Dragnis

You know when you attack with it. It should give you fishing skills lol. Since it doesn't give you weapon skills :) That would be totally awesome and I do believe this fishing pole is the best. One: if you get attacked no need to change weapons really this thing got a very high Dps. Two: +30 fishing skill that's really good not the best but still good. Three: You can breathe underwater and so if you want going clamming you can. Without casting spells or changing gear. Overall great fishing pole and in my opinion overall the best in stats.

Commento di 380852

Very nice fishing pole, easy to get aswell. I was sad when i saw it lost its damage, then got it back.. still seems to do very little damage even though it says it has such high dps.. but i guess thats not the point of a fishing pole.

First saw this pole being held by Honeydew in the Yogscast

Commento di 74836

I just wanted to add, in response to the various comments about wether or not it is viable to use a high dps fishing pole as a weapon or that it is handy to have if you are ganked while fishing etc. If you have an addon installed such as outfitter, when you are fishing you can have your normal weapons automatically equip when in combat and unequip when out of combat, making use of stats, dps and skills. Puts all the arguments to rest although the high dps is nice to see for flavour.

Commento di Dragnis

If your after this fishing poles you need exalted with the Kalu'ak fraction. Not very hard just do all the quest and dailies for about 1 1/2 weeks and you get exalted. That how long it took me to achieve Exalted with them. After you finish these quest I suggest you do the 3 dailies
1st Howling Ford <The Way to his Heart> http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11472,
2nd Dragonblight <Planning for the future> http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11960,
and last is Borean Tundra <Preparing for the Worst> http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11945.
The path I picked is most effecient for me to grind the Wyrmcrest dailies and lead to the less amount of time to the Oracle dailies too. If you don't know what the other 2 fraction provide here a list for Wyrmcrest items: http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1091 <want a red dragon epic flying mount 2k> and the Oracles http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1105 < you can buy an Mysterious egg at revered and it can hatch into Green proto-drake and other stuff>. Hope this helps out and when you throw out your pole. Everyone notice it because it much bigger then theirs lol

Commento di Dragnis

High Test Eternium Fishing Line +5 fishing is the best fishing enchant you can get. 2 ways to get the fishing line either from the Dalaran fishing dailies or catching Dezian Queenfish during Sunday fishing contest will get you it too. Hope this helps out.

Commento di 377939

one of the best fishing poles u cant get, althoe getting it is e hard bit... u'll have to get exhalted with the kalu'ak which will take you longer time than it will to get the money to buy it (only interesting if ur money-sparing).

Commento di 98874

So...

err...

yeah...

You can get this as a feral druid at lvl 70.

And it gives more attack power then a lot of Naxxramas weapons.

I'm just glad to see that there's a new graphic model for a fishing pole.

Agreed, however, I believe the Arcanite pole should have an enhanced graphic as well, seeing how its stats are better than that of the Mastercraft. That's just a personal preference, though, I love the graphics of the Mastercraft and wouldn't want to go back to the boring old pole should I win the tournament, ya know?

Commento di skibow4

I am soooo gonna get this at 80 :D

Commento di 438545

You get this by doing quests and grinding 3 daily quests in the following area's:
(Daily quests have to be "unlocked" by doing the regular quests)

Borean Tundra
- Karuk
- Elder Atkanok
- Hotawa
- Elder Muahit
***Utaik (has daily)
- Captured Tuskar Prisoner
- Waltor of Pal'ea
- Etaruk
- Veehja

Dragonblight
- Elder Mana'loa
- Tua'kea
***Trapper Mau'i (has daily)
- Elder Ko'nani

Howling Fjord
- Orfus of Kamagua (start with him in this area)
- Elder Atuik (Orfus's quests will send you to him)
- Grezzix Spindersnap (Atuik's quests will eventually send you to him)
- "Silvermoon" Harry
- Captin Ellis
- Scuttle Frostprow
***Anuniaq (has daily)

I reccomend you start with BT do all of them there, then move to DB do all of them there and finish up with HF.

Hope this helps!

Commento di 253259

Okay, I don't normally make posts, but I had to write this one down:

I finally got Exalted with the Kalu'ak at about 6:30 am today. As happy as I was to get the fishing pole and the penguin, it wasn't anything compared to how happy I was that the damn grind was finally over!

I had to log off to go to bed, then came back at about 2:00 pm and equipped my shiny new pole, then added the high-strength eternium fishing line. Slapped on my battered fishing hat, then went to Shattrath to fish in the lakes to see if I could get the weather-beaten journal. On a lark, I decided to do the Rokk's cooking quest and Old Man Barlo's fishing quest also, since I still needed the recipe for Skullfish Soup and Kibler's Bits, and the quest Shrimpin' Ain't Easy for the ach.

Barlo gave me Bait Bandits, which (since I could do it in Terokkar) I decided to go ahead and do anyway. Caught the blackfin darter and flew back to Barlo to turn it in. To my surprise, the weather-beaten journal was in the sack of fishing treasures he gave me!

Well, since I was feeling pretty special by now, I gathered the mats I needed for the Rokk's Revenge is Tasty quest. While up in Terokkar, I used my shiny new fish tracking ability to search out pools. After about twenty minutes of fishing, I caught Mr. Pinchy! O.O

Can it be? I asked meself as I right-clicked on Mr. Pinchy... *WHOOSH* I got the Magical Crawdad box!

Holy Cheese-whiz, Batman!

I dashed back to Shattrath to turn in the kaliri stew, and the Rokk gave me one of the recipes I still needed (Skullfish Soup). Wow! I wasn't about to question this absolutely unreal string of luck (or NOT take full advantage of it), so I returned to Dalaran. Forty minutes later, I had caught the last gold coin I needed for the Titanium Seal of Dalaran.

Today has absolutely made up for the hours-days-weeks-months of mindless, spiritless, pointless, colorless, smokeless, greaseless grinding... Carrying around smelly fish in my pocket and dodging the misdirected affections of mutant walruses... Avoiding lonely seamen on their first shore leave in centuries while retrieving Kalu'ak bottle-cap collections... Murdering wolvar mothers and kidnapping their babies to sell into Kalu'ak slavery... No more, never again, there was a light at the end of the tunnel and the cake was NOT a lie!

I'm going to see if there's any giant rats wandering the Underbelly in need of a good home, and after that, I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket. Best of luck to everyone else out there!

(After I win the jackpot, of course...)

Commento di 495826

This thing is nice if i want i can get a turtle and this then just hop off and go underwater all the time and just sit there and watch my friends try getting to me lol

Commento di Guanyin

Huge mistake from Blizzard: this fishing pole is now obtainable for any character with maxed out fishing.
Winning the Kalu'ak fishing contest rewards you with exalted status at the walrus people faction :)
So, if a level 19 twink manages to get this done he/she will be able to buy this fishing pole.
I guess this is a new 19-49 (perhaps even 59) warrior/paladin/feral druid twink dream?
I mean, try to get near that amount of dps with any other weapon...

Uhm...what about casters? Most quests/mobs/ect I'm going underwater to kill I can kill easily enough without the Int/SP of my staff for five minutes. And in those cases, the benefit of not having to worry about breath makes up for it. And, of course, you can always equip the pole to swim, swap to your weapon to fight, then swap back to the pole to swim back.

So yeah, I don't see this as unuseful as you do. You just have to think outside the box a little. : )

Combined with this awesome Fishing Pole (or any of these), here's suggestions for a fisherman's set:

Head:
Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat - Obtained through various Bag of Fishing Treasures (1) (2) in Shattrath and Dalaran fishing daily quests.
- or possibly -
Lucky Fishing Hat - Reward if you catch and turn in a Keefer's Angelfish during the Strangletorn Fishing Extravaganza.

Shoulder:
Silken Amice of the Ymirjar - Drops from Skadi the Ruthless in Utgarde Pinnacle in Normal mode.

Archmage Mantle - Drops from various mobs, mostly Elites around level 70.

Back:
Sergeant's Heavy Cloak (Horde) - Bought with Honor Points from Legionnaire Teena in Orgrimmar.
Sergeant's Heavy Cape (Alliance) - Bought with Honor Points from Lieutenant Rachel Vaccar in Stormwind City.
- or possibly -
Sergeant's Cloak (Horde only) - Bought with Honor Points from First Sergeant Hola'mahi in Orgrimmar.
- or possibly (but I much prefer one of the above) -
Hillman's Cloak - Made through the Leatherworking profession.

Chest:
Tree Bark Jacket - Drops from various mobs in Blackfathom Deeps.
- or possibly -
Brown Linen Vest - Made through the Tailoring profession.

Shirt:

Amulets, Rings, Trinkets and Ranged / Relic is optional, but I have a few favourites:

Trinket:

Barov Peasant Caller - Quest reward from The Last Barov at The Bulwark in Tirisfal Glades.

Wand:

Looks just like a torch (like the name suggests), so you can light the fires that will fry your fish.

Edit: Added more boots and trinket.

If you are to lazy to get Exalted with Kalu'ak, u can always farm Gnomeregan for the Hydrocane

Blizzard has changed the graphic on this pole, instead of being made from an animal's spine now, they changed it to wood and it just looks crappy.

Commento di 168688

So, comparing this rod (Linked here for easy comparability) to the Jeweled Fishing Pole, the only real difference is that this one also offers underwater breathing. Granted there is a higher attack on this one, but if you're using a fishing pole to fight with, you're not going to win. I just got the Jeweled one from doing my fishing daily, so I don't see any reason to purchase the Mastercraft, unless you haven't been lucky enough to get the Jeweled one yet.

Commento di 907542

The best Fishing Pole in my opinion ... -5 skill on contest pole but with a lure would you feel the difference? Unlikely and with underwater breathing on tap wherever you are...... how cool is that? Unless you are UD, and UD racials aren't so useful these days?

Also saves bag space (no need for a hydrocane) and has a super cool graphic unlike the contest poles ....sweet!

Commento di Moxson

I just realised that you can have this on a lvl 5 character.. :O

Commento di Moxson

how much attack power does this give to you if you're a feral druid?

Commento di Tethic

I just wanted to update something I saw in this guide… This is what I can accumulate to grant the highest Fishing Skill Level of 755:

525 Skill Level Cap (Cata)
+40 Canna da Pesca d'Arcanite
+5 Lenza d'Eternio ad Alta Resistenza
+150 Lenza Rinforzata al Calorbianco (15 min Lure)
+15 Stivali della Baia (Feet)
+5 Cappello da Pesca Portafortuna or Cappello da Pesca Consunto (Head)
+5 Formula: Incanta Guanti - Pescatore (Glove Enchant)
+10 Ricetta: Birra di Capitan Rumsey (Drink Buff for 3 min)
525 (Skill Cap) + 230 (Added Bonuses) =
Total: 755

Now, I don’t know of anywhere in game that would require anyone to have their fishing this high, but, I wanted to update it since the only person I saw that was close had a Rank of 0.

Commento di Tanglewood

Commento di Zivy

I'm kind of sad you can't transmog one fishing rod with anothers appearance. I wanted to transmog my Jeweled fishing rod onto this one :(

Commento di RoboArtist

Hmm. Imagine if it let you walk on water. Or even catch multple fish at once! OR BREATH FIRE! OR... Or whatever.

Commento di Kefra

Got this fishing pole tonight on this level 69 druid.

To give an idea of the damage boost this fishing pole gives over a level 69 green (of the Bandit, with 37 agility), I attacked a level 60 target dummy with no buffs. Average crits with the moves are listed below, first with the polearm, then with the fishing pole:

Mangle: 2444 --> 3737
Rake (one tick): 1550 --> 1449
Ferocious Bite (5 combo points): 12,740 --> 12,504
Shred (with bleed active): 3309 --> 4796
Ravage: 5136 --> 6133
Thrash (one tick): 1318 --> 1271
Auto-attack: 965 --> 1364

Damage for several moves actually went down, because they scale with attack power rather than base weapon damage per second. Overall damage and "burstiness" is still far superior with the fishing pole. All in all, I don't regret the grind.

Commento di SargonStarblade

I still use this primarily for the Water Breathing effect. This plus my sea turtle make underwater exploration much easier. Is there another Fishing Pole that has Water Breathing?

Commento di Timboman2000

This WAS my goto fishing pole since I originally got it in Wrath, but now after 8 years of usage it's finally been replaced by the newest sexy pole on the block, The Underlight Angler.

While it's kinda upsetting that 90% of it's artifact traits will be rendered useless when Legion is over, it's main "Gold Dragon" traits and inherent abilities will make it the best pole in the game for a LONGTIME.

Commento di Warrok

Nerfed to provide only +13 Fishing in 8.0.

Commento di HellViper

With the new profession overhaul in Dragonflight and the addition of profession gear equipping this bad boy in your fishing pole slot in the fishing journal will in fact allow you to still breathe underwater without the need to even equip this in your actual hands. As long as this is equipped in your fishing pole slot you will forever breathe underwater.

Commento di Dishwater

I can with some degree of authority that this nice little fishing pole does in fact grant underwater breathing in the current Xpac. it is now classed as a fishing tool, and I a dwarf print can now breathe underwater. until I can't which might be soon as Blizz hates fun. Or it might work only when I have the new fishing buff active which I don't understand. meh It's cool and I hope it's going to last

Commento di coyle33

2022-12-14 In Dragonflight this is now considered fishing equipment. Sooo, when you go to equip it for the first time it'll look like it goes *poof* out of your inventory. It'll show up in your hands but not your weapon slot. It's really equipped in your fishing equipment box on your fishing journal. I did verify it still provides underwater breathing equipped here.

Commento di Mmbooger

In dragonflight, this equipped in the profession slot grants you permanent underwater breathing!

Commento di beeurd

There are some Kalu'ak faction NPCs at Iskaara in The Azure Span, who will comment "what a fine fishing pole you have there, old friend" if you have this pole equipped in your fishing journal.
I thought that was a nice touch. :)

Commento di Pernicious

Anyone else experience this issue? I've recently come back to the game and decided to resume my fishing expeditions. I used this pole frequently, however now it is no longer in my inventory/bank. I know I had it on this character as this is the only character I've achieved Exalted with that can purchase it. Another character of mine lost the ability to see fish on the mini map and I had to go farm the water logged tome all over again. Did something happen when Blizz released one of the expansions (Shadowlands or Dragonflight) since I've been away?
