Bigger Fish to Fry

Bigger Fish to Fry

(1) Nar' Thalas Hermit
(2) Ancient Mossgill

Wild already has max level fishing of 800. Wild also took the time to grind arcane lures that increase the catch rate by 100. Don't be fooled, though. Thousands will have to be caught before this is done.
The "Old" Wildshard lost a number of things he once had before his reincarnation from Horde to Alliance or were negated when the change was granted. Most important to fishing is being able to cast lures into fishing pools. Wild was having to fish from the shoreline because he can't swim and fish at the same time (which can often be dangerous as well). Wild went all the way to Pandaria and the Krasarang Wilds to hunt down Nat Pagler, the greart fishing expert. Nat was delighted to see Wild in his shiny alliance garb.

"Want to go fishing with me?" Nat asked Wild.

"Another time, Nat. I have taken the challenge of the Underlight Angler, and I could use your help."

Nat winked. "I already knew what you're up to. I have ways."

"Another time, for sure," Wild responded.

"Well, then." Nat pondered. "The Angler, huh? I must tip my hat to you for even trying."

"Why not join me in the hunt then," Wild offered Nat again.

"Naw, I'm long retired. But maybe I could help out. Is there anything I can do to help you on this journey?"

"There is," Wild said immediately. "I can't walk on water anymore, dang all these crazy rules, but . . .

Nat jumped into the conversation. "How 'bout a raft! Got one just outfitted this morning!"

Nat was a tough negotiator. The raft cost 800 but will be well worth the gold. Wild even bought a hat and another fishing pole from Nat's collection. Alltogether a good beginning.

Wild will start in Aszuna. The rare fish he is after are leyshimmy blenny, nar'thalas hermit, and ghostly queenfish. Wild already had 40 arcane lures that should keep him busy for a good while.
Wild's first two hours in Aszuna garned a big flat ZERO. Not a single bite from a targeted fish. The gods of WoW are laughing at the insanely difficult odds. And no fishing pools appeared anywhere in that time.

Later the same day, till in Aszuna, Wild caught the Nar'thalas Hermit. And then he accidentally threw it back in the water. Too many things going on at the time, a cat in real life had my attention, the wrong button tapped, and it was gone. But all was saved by the Achievement "Bigger Fish to Fry" that clearly showed Wild's catch. And guess what? Wild had an earlier success, too, the Ancient Mosgill! Woo Hoo!

Two down and only 16 left. Wild is on his way.
