My first go at getting the Lucky Fishing Hat.

In short, it went horrible. I had trouble sleeping last night so I stayed up late. I set my alarm for an hour before it started because I still needed to level up my fishing some. I overslept about 45 minutes. Ok, not too bad. With my lures I still had about 200 fishing. I logged out on that troll island the night before so I lucked out on that aspect. I fished one pool and saw a twinked out Undead rogue. My shaman is only level 11 and doesn't even have his BoP gear yet so I decided to leave.



I went down toward Arena and it was just about 3:00 PM server time so I decided to check out the Arena for the chest since I had died and rezzed right next to it. Walk in at 2:59 and saw three people fighting. Decided to make a break for the chest...and bam, one shot by a druid.



Ok, rezzed and walked back to the water. Died a couple of times on the way there. When I finally got there, I reallized...my fucking fishing pole broke. I cana't run back because the mobs aggro and kill me so I spammed /1, saying I'll pay 5g for a fishing pole to be brought to me. Someone finally did.



By this time there was about 40 minutes left or so. I fished. And fished. And fished. Nothing. With my luck, 3 pools were right near one raptor no matter where I stood so he kept aggroing so I couldn't fish it. Then at the end, a twink and high level came by and killed me. Only about 5 minutes left so I decided to give up. I'm happy though because since that twink was still fishing, that means he didn't get his hat. Dick.



And to top everything off, I meant to just log out next to the Arena and level my main and hop on and try to get the AGM buuuut, in my irritable state of that twink and high level, I hearthed. So now I have to bang my head against a wall all the way back to the Arena. Fuck.
 
I fished for 17 weeks on my rogue never got the hat. Got it first week with 15 minutes left in the tournament on my paladin. Keep at it, hopfully you'll get it next week.
 
bad day for you D:

keep trying though!

I've fished on 2 accounts for weeks, and still nothing.

I did however get the boots! Only to find it gets a 35 level requirement the next week.
 
On my first twink i got a hat the first contest, boots the second.



That may sound pretty lucky, but i had done alot of research and scouted out all of stv beforehand. Planning a route helps. To max out your chances stay on the wild shore (eastern shore), the no-mob island is nice but you're not going to catch nearly as much fish as you would fishing elsewhere.



I cant emphasize this enough: don't stop fishing till the fish go away. I've seen 3 people get their fishies with less than 2 minutes to go. The more time you put into it, the more you get out of it. Dont sell yourself short by giving up early.
 
Eh, of course I'm not gonna give up. I know what to be careful of next time. I've never made a 19 twink only a couple of 19 semi twinks back in the day so I was clueless as to what to expect. Never did the fishing tourney on such a low level. It sucked but I'll be there next Sunday to get that damn hat. Hopefully by that time, my rl friend will have ran me through instances so I'll have gear and won't die in 2 hits.
 
I had my first fishing tournament in about 4 years today. No rare drops but I almost managed 200 tastyfish (not counting all the crap fish and stuff I got), so I'm optimistic that if I can get 200 casts in per tournament that I'll get it soon :).

Jesus. I didn't even get the 40. :(



You know something I don't? Lol.
 
I have a nice 2 person mount that I took advantage of.



But it still didn't put me that far ahead of those who are seasoned at fishing for their hats. Drayner was kicking ass out there too.
 
Eh, looks like i have more luck than most but i got 2 hats the very first time i did the tourney on the ZG island, i was like "mmk, getting the boots should be easy enough" i fished for 10 weeks for those boots, i ended up with 6 hats, 4 lines, 1 boots and over 1000 tasties. Seemed all right i could get a FC hat a haste hat ect.. then head chants were removed some moths later..
 
My luck changed up a bit. I got a run through SFK and WC for 20g. He said 5g but I didn't think that it's worth it so I offered 20g. Anyway, got my Girdle of the Blindwatcher and got my quest from WC so I can get Talbar Mantle. Maintenance came and stopped me from getting my chest from WC, though.



But the real good news is that Magefist Gloves dropped for me. I was thinking about buying them so it saved me a good 170g.



Question though:[ITEM]Magefist Gloves[/ITEM] or [ITEM]Gold-flecked Gloves[/ITEM]? I have both. Keep in mind, I could sell the Magefist for decent amount of money but I don't care that much. Gonna use whatever is better. :)
