Patch 2.4!

Posted by Miriella on 25 March 2008

Huzzah!  Two 20-page papers and a 9 page final exam complete, and I’m free from the deathly grasps of my master’s degree….for a week.  My weeklong reprieve could not possibly come at a better moment, for today, World of Warcraft’s Patch 2.4 arrives today!  I’ll go ahead and assume that the servers won’t even be up until around 8 server, if we’re lucky, and then it’ll take me til about midnight server to get all the add-ons straightened out, which is usually a complete disaster after every patch.  (See prior 2.3 patch fiasco.)

Normal people are excited about the new badge items you can get.  Still others are excited about the new Sunwell content.  Me?  It’s all about the fishing!!  With 2.4 comes a mysterious old man located at Silmyr Lake just outside Shattrath who’ll have 5 daily fishing quests for me:

  • Bait Bandits
  • Crocolisks in the the City
  • Felblood Fillet
  • Shrimpin’ Ain’t Easy
  • The One That Got Away
  • These fishing quests also provide the opportunity to get 4 different vanity pets (did I hear a mention of a vanity pet bag?  Please say it’s so!) – it seems they are all baby crocolisks, named Chuck, Muckbreath, Toothy and Snarly.  Can’t wait!

    Thankfully, both of my level 70 characters are near max fishing (Springroll is slow, she’s only at 373 as of last night) – which means I’ll have 10 opportunities a day to get the goods. 

    I’ll be keeping you posted on all my fishing adventures, and of course, bringing you screenshots of wee lil’ baby crocs as I get them (hopefully!).  Wish me luck!
