4.2 Fishing Chair and Daily Achievements
Patch 4.2 is now being tested going live:
- Mushroom Chair, reported to be sold by a vendor after completing several stages of the new Firelands daily quests: Introduction, Druids of the Talon and Shadow Warden, then Filling the Moonwell – more details.
- New faction-specific achievements for the daily quests added in patch 4.1, plus a meta achievement for completing all 3 sets of achievements – Alliance guide/Horde guide.
Oceanographer: Summer Bass
Midnight at the start of 21st March marks the beginning of summer: Raw Summer Bass replace Winter Squid. The Oceanographer can finally be completed!
4.1 Oceanographer/Limnologist Bloated Fish [Updated]
On patch 4.1 Public Test Realms bloated catches are no longer required for The Oceanographer and The Limnologist (Bloated Smallfish and Trout were finally removed in build 13793). This will make these achievements far easier. Patch 4.1 also adds fish to The Steam Pools (near Feralas) – mostly Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish and Raw Mithril Head Trout.
