Legion - Fishing Artifact
Legion adds the Underlight Angler, which has a tree of artifact traits that gives you access to traits like:


Prerequisites

Acquisition
  • Soon after meeting the prerequisites, you will fish up the Luminous Pearl
  • You then take the Pearl to Khadgar.
  • Khadgar gives you a pat on the head and tells you to put in in the Dalaran fountain.
  • Nat Pagle appears in the fountain with a quest for you, sending you to a Val'sharah scenario to look at the fish frenzy going on:
    • Kill Murlocs - Slay all of the murlocs on the island.
    • Fishing - Fish up the Gloaming Frenzies.
    • Delivery - Give Nat your Gloaming Frenzies.
    • What's below? - Fish up what's been disturbing the frenzies.
    • Mglrrp - Slay Mglrrp.
  • After slaying Mglrrp, Nat realizes that part of him would make a great fishing pole.
  • The pearl you fished up is used as an Artifact forge (that doesn't appear to be working correctly right now).
  • Leveling up the Artifact requires you to equip the Underlight Angler and catch rare fish that grant Artifact Experience.







Weekly Legion Developer Q&As Starting This Thursday!

The time of the Burning Legion’s return is fast approaching, and as we begin our final preparations, we thought it’d be a good time to start up a new series of live developer Q&A sessions!

Every Thursday for the next several weeks, starting at 11 a.m. PT, we’ll be going live on Twitch.tv/Warcraft to answer questions submitted by the World of Warcraft community. Each week will feature a different developer, and we’ll be looking for questions that focus on their particular role on the World of Warcraft development team.

To kick things off, we’re starting with Assistant Game Director Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas. Ion is involved in nearly every aspect of World of Warcraft development, so for this session, feel free to submit questions on any aspect of the Legion expansion. You can do so by posting in this forum thread or via Twitter using the hashtag #LegionQA.

We’re really looking forward to getting the chance to dive in and answer as much as we can, so we hope to see you Thursday at 11 a.m. PT!

MMO-Champion Forums Moderator Recruitment
Good news everyone! We're recruiting moderators for the forums again! The amount of users and posts keeps increasing and we reached the point where we need some help before the trolls take over and play Whack-a-Mod in the Darkmoon Faire. I know it sounds fun, but I'm going to assume we don't want that.

Please be sure to read the entire post before applying!

    Getting that pole is just going to take time, and a lot of luck if you want it quick. Fuck those coins. Still cant be bothered to fish up the old ones

    As far as the fishing prerequisites, I'm thankful to already have the coins done.
    This looks like a totally new coins achievement... :/

    I just hope that Blizzard come down hard on fish botting in legion because it will really suck to have people getting all these perks without any effort..I know that honorbuddy had a ban wave now a few times but certain bots dedicated to fishing never seem to be caught unless people report players. As someone who enjoys fishing, I'm looking forward to working on this.. I'm excited about what I see with professions in legion!

    Urgh what an incredibly ugly fishing artefact, I hope can transmog that monstrosity. Was there a price on creating the pinacle of bad taste or how did they come by that design?

    Then it looks like I'll be passing on the artifact fishing pole. I'm not doing that crap again. Save the Murlocs.

    Will there be any concession to those of us who won the fishing contest? Nat Pagle's extreme angler seems to have been left in the dust by this item.

    Pretty sure the Undercurrent ability will only work in the Broken Isles.

    I actually find the idea of a fishing artifact funny, and some of the perks are pretty cool. But this is looking like Nat Pagle rep 3.0.
    Nothing do to with professions? DAMN BLIZZARD
    Stuff to do with professions? DAMN BLIZZARD torturing us with grinds!

    Ok then.

    Come on, people. What is the problem of having some prerequisites for the fishing artifact? Only people that like fishing SHOULD obviously go for it - you don't need it if you fish every 6 months.

    What does that movie rating mean? 5/5 is the best? 1 is the best?

    I for one think the fishing artifact pre-req seems quite OK.

    Sure it's a grind, but fishing has always been a bit grindy. These pre-req should be heavy enough, that people who don't like fishing are not going to bother; yet achievable enough that the salty folk among us can get it in not too long of a time.

    Making it very easy to get has some big downsides. First of all, everyone will get it because it's easy to get and shiny. Second of all, it will make the fishing profession very shallow.

    Whelp, fish botting will be major in Legion.

    Thanks - that may indeed change my feeling towards the achievement

    I was hoping for this. I'm one of those (many) weirdo's who actually enjoy fishing and listening to the sounds and music of the game.

    The best thing about this (for you mindless whiners) is it's OPTIONAL.

    Time to sit in the new Dalaran fishing fountain for 5 hours or more, fuck yeah. That sticky glue better be god damn amazing

    Great! I sincerely hope they keep the prerequisites for the fishing pole as-is. It SHOULD be something time-consuming requiring dedication to obtain. Hell, I kind of wish it also required you to have all of the previous fishing achievements...then it'd be just the true angling fanatics who get it and not the Johnny-Come-Latelys who want it just for the perks.

    Yup. No matter what Blizzard does, they will NEVER please everyone.
