Equip a fishing pole and find a body of water to fish. Right-Click on the bob in the water when it splashes to catch your fish. Higher skill increases your chance of fishing successfully in higher level areas.
How it works
Fishing is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Summon Object (effect type 50).
- Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 3. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
What it does
Fishing is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10-20 yards and effects that last 22 sec. When cast it summons an object and applies an aura.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
