Okay, so I was discussing fishing with some lovely humans on another thread, and this particular question is one we couldn’t find a definitive answer for.
This wowhead comment section discusses the problem, but even here, the actual solution is very much a /shrug. The issue is that no one knows with any kind of certainty, and it needs clarification.
Like almost all of us who are fishing in the new expansion, I am currently using the Bismuth Fisherfriend. It is the green quality fishing pole for the new content.
My engineering guildmate is now able to make the Aqirite Fisherfriend, and I will be getting one from her as soon as she’s worked through getting high quality ones.
Here’s the question and the problem. The Algari Weaverline is consumable, so once you apply it to your green pole and start adding threads…what happens when it’s time to swap over to the blue pole?
Do we have to buy a 2nd Algari Weaverline for the Aqirite Fisherfriend pole? If so, when we put that enchant in place, do we have to start over with attaching threads?
I’m sitting on a pile of these seekerthreads and anglerthreads because I’m afraid to use them and “waste” them on the green fishing pole. I can’t find any official guidance on this. If a blue or someone who just knows for certain how this works could give clarity, that would be awesome.
Th first comment in your link says the threads are account wide but you have to apply the weaverline enchant to all poles you’re going to use. They use the underlight angler as an example.
Thank you. This was what I was hoping the answer would be.
On the Wowhead comment section, the guy was saying that we would have to keep applying them to the original pole in order for all of them to count, and that sounded SUPER easy to mess up and end up wasting threads.
From what I can gather you’re supposed to keep adding them to the original pole you added them to. For every 10 of each you add to it you’ll get a boost to your warbands algari weaverline.
Yeah I wasn’t sure on this so I said “F it” and just applied them when I had a green fishing pole. What happens is that it applies to the weaverline not the pole itself. So that way when you get a better fishing pole you just apply the weaverline which has all the buffs form the angler/seeker threads.
Yes, but the confusion comes in when that same poster, who seems very knowledgeable, said you have to keep adding the threads to the original pole you added the weaverline to.
Meaning: If you put them on the Legion pole or a vendor pole or the Bismuth Fisherfriend…in perpetuity you would need to equip that same fishing pole out to apply the threads, and if you ever put any on a different fishing pole, they would be starting over.
Then other people said that wasn’t the case. And it’s…unclear, especially as this is all from commenters, not from a Blizzard official post about how fishing works.
I don’t mean to sound argumentative or get down into semantics, but these things are rare and we have to find 100 of each, so I don’t want to waste any. I just want to get it right the first time.
Awesome. You’re a prince. Thank you. I appreciate your willingness to be the guinea pig with your own anglerthreads. ha ha Well done, sir. The community appreciates your sacrifice.
Once one character has their weaverline maxed to 100 you’re done. That’d be roughly turning in 1,000 of each angler/seeker threads?
It does seem like it’s linked to giving the boost after a turn in of 10 specifically… so I would add threads in that manner because I don’t know if you apply partial stacks (1-9) and change it out if you’d lose those? Wondering if it’s calculating it per turn in or per 10 you turned in?
How often do these drop? So my dumbass put the epic enchant on a white pole…not knowing we need to put on the tool in the journal. So I made another one and put it on my better pole. Now I get ZERO drops of the algari seekerthread , etc. Like at all…so not sure what to do.
They were dropping a lot more, it felt like, last week. This week, I only had one seekerthread drop during my fishing, and it wasn’t even from a treasure school. It was from a regular fishing school like the Calm Surfacing Ripple or Glimmerpool.
I don’t know if I was just lucky last week or unlucky this week, but I definietly felt a drop.
I got 6 anglerthreads and 10 seekerthreads during my two weeks of early access and then launch week. I got one seekerthread this week.
That’s a little comforting I guess. I got 2 of one and three of the other this week. So maybe it’s just low drops or capped per week. I thought I effed up somehow.
It does feel like they’re dropping less this last week. Just in case people aren’t aware though…
When the fishing event is happening you can trade 10 Mereledar Derby Marks for the thread of your choice with Captain Oathmyt. Not interested in much she offers but the cooking recipe’s myself so will be using all those derby marks for threads in the future. Considering we need 1,000 of each to max it out… it’s going to be a long haul.
you need to apply 10 of each to your pole then you get the achievements for it and those achieves will make them Warbound. It is in the Achievements - Professions - Fishing and scroll down.
I only add them 10 at a time, it should honestly calculate it differently so people don’t lose progress… but we’ve got what we got for a “system” and I doubt it’ll change.
It tracks each thread added individually, you can add them 1 at a time if you want. But the buff to other chars is only through the achievements every 10, so you would only see 16 or 23 on the toon that added the threads the rest would see 10 or 20. But definately only add them from 1 toon or there is catchup before they show again.
