The fishing tournament in World of Warcraft is back. Every Sunday, the call of Nat Pagle lures with cool rewards.
In addition to the numerous content and improvements from patch 7.1.5, such as class balancing or the timewalking of Pandaria, there were also some features that hardly got talked about.
The fishing tournament from Stranglethorn has sneakily crept into the patch and will now be held every Sunday at 2:00 PM in Stranglethorn.
The tournament’s basic procedure has not changed. Once the event starts, all players receive a territory-wide world quest that is automatically accepted.
The goal of the fishing tournament is to catch 40 Glimmering Delicacies that appear all along the coast of Stranglethorn. The first player to turn in 40 fish at Booty Bay will be crowned the event’s winner. As several servers are now playing together in a phase, the number of possible winners has increased. Several players report that up to 50 players can emerge as winners from the event.
The rewards include the following items:
- Arcane Fishing Pole, which grants +40 to fishing and was used by Nat Pagle himself.
- Master Angler’s Hook, a trinket that allows the character to transform into a fish to swim faster and breathe underwater.
- Terrorfish Ring, an heirloom ring that grants +5% experience.
- Boots of the Bay, a pair of boots that improve fishing and teleport you to Booty Bay upon use.
- Extremely Tested Eternium Fishing Line, which allows you to enchant a rod, increasing your fishing skill by 5.
Besides that, you can catch some special fish during the event, which also grant small bonuses when exchanged – such as a fish as a weapon.
Basically, the event lasts until 5:00 PM; however, winners are usually announced after 10-15 minutes. So if you want a chance at victory and thus a reward, you should be on time at 2:00 PM on Sunday in Stranglethorn.
World of Warcraft is also planning Timewalking Raids – the only question is: When will they come?
