In WoW: Midnight fishing is stressful because there are also fights. But you can easily turn them off with a trick.
Many people in WoW don’t care about fishing. It’s literally just staring at a progress bar and the need to click once a fish is on the hook – so it’s pretty boring.
But many enjoy fishing. They find it meditative and calming while simultaneously collecting important resources needed for guilds or raids – for feasts and the strongest buff food, for example. Many also just watch a series, listen to a podcast, or let music wash over them.
However, the usually relaxed fishing can become a source of stress in Midnight because fishing can trigger fights.
Which fish is the problem? It’s the Blood Hunter. This fish simply does not accept being caught. As soon as you pull it out of the water, a second Blood Hunter appears as an enemy that attacks you immediately. If you defeat the fish, you also get it as loot. But many fish because they don’t want to fight, making such a fish ambush unnecessarily exhausting.
This not only interrupts your fishing but also makes the relaxing activity of fishing stressful – suddenly you have to fight and concentrate again, even though you just wanted to casually collect fish.
Little trick ends sudden fish ambushes
However, there is a trick that ensures you will never be attacked by Blood Hunters. You just need to sit while fishing. When your character is sitting, no additional Blood Hunter is summoned when fishing for one, and the attack is thus avoided.
Why does this work? This is because summoning the Blood Hunter is essentially a “spell” cast by your character. However, this ability is not triggered because it only works while standing. Therefore, when fishing for a Blood Hunter, you also get the error message “You must be standing to do that.”
With this trick, while you might miss an additional Blood Hunter while fishing, you can comfortably continue to catch your fish without ever getting involved in a fight.
The professions in Midnight are something you have to get used to, as some details are different. A massive bug has also caused the economy to be sustainably disturbed, because some players were able to accumulate endless amounts of profession knowledge.
