Fishing: Sea Turtle Mount is mine!

Posted by Miriella on 26 April 2009

In just a short amount of time I’d managed to get all 4 coin achievements, 2 sewer rats and a sea turtle mount! Miriella fished up the sewer rat a day or two before Patch 3.1, and while Miriella was pathetically trapped in Ulduar instances, I had nothing to do but to play Springroll, which I really didn’t want to do, so I decided to level her fishing instead. I started one night, and two nights later, I fished up all of the Dalaran coins. I checked the 1000 fish achievement, and I was a little over 100 away, so I thought, I have some time left to kill, so I’ll head down to the sewers and work on the rat while I get to the 1k fish achievement. Surely, I thought, I’d hit 1000 with it. Crazily enough, I head down to the sewers with Springroll – and it’s her first time ever having been in the sewers, I discover, and what do you know, the stupid priest fishes up the sewer rat in 6 casts!

The weekend came, and I was busy moving into my new apartment – and, as a result, had no internet access in my humble abode for over a week. I have no idea how I survived, but I did. Tonight was the first night I’d been back, so here’s the tonight’s total tally before I fished up the sea turtle:

7 Barrelhead Goby
1 Bonescale Snapper
17 Borean Leather Scraps
4 Borean Man O’ War
17 Cobalt Ore
10 Crystallized Water
101 Deep Sea Monsterbelly
6 Frostweave Cloth
14 Glacial Salmon
5 Imperial Manta Ray
109 Moonglow Cuttlefish
13 Musselback Sculpin
12 Nettlefish
170 Pygmy Suckerfish
4 Rockfin Grouper
8 Succulent Clam Meat

Today’s Total: 440 Fish, 58 other thingies. A grand total of 1045 fish, and lots of other various crap in reinforced crates and whatnots, so for me the average was just about 1 in 1000, which really isn’t bad at all; I thought I’d be around for much much longer, lurking the waters of the Frozen Sea for so long.

He’s very cute, and very worth it!

Fishing in Patch 3.1: Day 1

Posted by Miriella on 15 April 2009

Okay. I know I’m insane. Let’s just document it for proof.

This includes about 10 minutes of fishing for the new Dalaran daily Fishing quest, and about 20 minutes of fishing in Elwynn Forest (I still need the One That Didn’t Get Away achievement) while the Northrend servers crashed, uncrashed, recrashed.

Today’s Fishing Daily was The Ghostfish. From the reward, I looted the Sealed Vial of Poison quest starter item, some deviate fish, a Northsea pearl, and some elixirs of water walking.

Fished up on Day 1:

8 Barrelhead Goby
3 Borean Man O’War
7 Borean Leather Scraps
7 Cobalt Ore
21 Crystallized Water
112 Deep Sea Monsterbelly
21 Frostweave Cloth
7 Glassfin Minnow
9 Imperial Manta Ray
144 Moonglow Cuttlefish
36 Nettlefish
255 Pygmy Suckerfish
12 Raw Brillian Smallfish
9 Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
2 Rockfin Grouper
8 Sickly Fish

That makes 605 fish.

and a couple of other grey items that I deleted.

Bleh.

Whoa!

Posted by Miriella on 15 April 2009

Have I really not posted since Christmas? Oops. Well, the good thing is, my life is going full speed ahead. I’m in the middle of moving to a fabulous new apartment, and today, I’m actually in a WordPress workshop taught by the super awesome Polly-Alida Farrington, so I’ll be messing around here more as I get re-inspired.

Oh, and Patch 3.1 is out for World of Warcraft! Miriella’s new goal? The sea turtle mount of course! I spent a solid 4 hours or so fishing last night, so I do believe I’ll be documenting my fishing adventures once more.

Stay posted!
