• Arcanite Fishing Pole gives +40 skill bonus.
• Achievements added for fishing up the Sea Turtle (mount) and completing the new fishing daily quests [from data files].
• No changes to One That Didn’t Get Away (Baby Coralshell Turtle, Old Crafty and Mr. Pinchy now do not count towards the achievement).
• Junk items replace “your fish got away” messages: For example, Driftwood, Old Boot, and Sickly Fish. Skill-ups can be gained from catching junk. Learn more.
• Expert and Artisan Fishing now taught by trainers. Only level 10 required. More detail.
• Loot confirmation for Bind on Pickup catches has been removed (confirmed for Giant Sewer Rat).
• New fishing cursors (illustrated top right). Use unknown.

Additions from the patch notes:

• “A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools.” [Presumably the Coralshell Turtle Sea Turtle.]
• “The time needed to catch fish has been reduced.” [Maybe.]

Further updates to come. Thanks for all the forum contributions.

• Training – Including a new 350-450 cooking and fishing leveling guide. A guide to Dalaran Daily Cooking Quests has been added.
• Valuable Fish – Many new valuable catches, from buff food to minipets.

Please post about anything you find confusing or inaccurate on the forums.

• 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).

El’s Inscription should now be updated with changes.

Edit: The original host of the High Definition versions has since declined to host any video game-related materials.

Neither of these movies is truly in High Definition, because the original images were not captured in high enough resolution. Still, bigger, clearer pictures are a lot easier to watch than YouTube-sized videos.

It has only recently become viable to make High Definition films using “home” computers, and distribute on the internet. I can see a lot of potential, but I’m still learning. Learning technically how to make machinima. But also what topics can be explained, and how to keep video content up to date (which is important in Azeroth).

If you have ever watched a random raid boss kill movie, you’ll understand there is a big difference between seeing something, and being able to understand what you are seeing. There are only a few people trying to bridge that gap (Tamzin being a good example).

Please let me know if these movies are useful (or not). And what else you would like to see.
