Fish Feast and Pool Suckerfish
Patch 3.0.8 (which is still being tested) is known to make 2 important changes:
- The recipe for Fish Feast has been added. Fish Feast gives a +80 Attack Power, +46 Spell Power and +40 Stamina buff. The recipe requires 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards and 450 cooking skill to buy. Fortunately, Gigantic and Small Feasts become “yellow” until skill 450, making it much easier to skill-up cooking to 450.
- About half of all catches from Northrend’s pools have a Pygmy Suckerfish attached: Much more common than existing open water fishing.
Patch 3.0.2
Expected major fishing changes in the new Patch 3.0.2:
- Many fishing achievements can now be completed.
- Azeroth’s pool names have changed.
Level fishing more than twice as fast– most leveling appears to be unchanged (more detailed confirmation still wanted).
The Fish Finder contains many smaller changes. Please post anything new you find on the forums (or email).
