I’m wondering if this achievement will count if you’ve won the STV fishing tournament
prior to the achievements being added. I’ve won twice so I have both the Arcanite Fishing rod and the Hook of the Master Angler and while I can see it counting, I also see it not counting depending on how the system works that being if it goes off of the quest completion rather than the item itself.
Either way it doesn’t really matter to me as I’ll be doing the Kalu’ak Fishing Derby too to win the Booty Bay boots and the heirloom ring, I just wanted to hear other peoples opinions on the matter.
Based on how achievements were rolled out the first time around. If you have an item that indicates you should have won the event it should count it.
For example. When they rolled out the first time around if you had your class ring from KT. It counted as you having completed Naxx 40. If you didn’t have the ring it didn’t count that you did it… or at least that is what I’m told.
The game already knows what quests you have or haven’t done. I’m not sure how this tracks repeatable ones such as the fishing tournament but you have items the game will detect anyway.
“No such limitation exists for repeatable quests, so Blizzard likely doesn’t track them.”
-Hence why they will simply see if you have one of the rewards.
Yes, and it worked that way for any piece of loot from KT.
Regular quests are a 1-time thing that the game has to keep track of so that characters aren’t capable of doing them again. No such limitation exists for repeatable quests, so Blizzard likely doesn’t track them.
So that means I can start putting my reputation to exalted with the factions now ? When the achievement is implanted I will have the achievement instantly ?
Ok good, thank for the info. I think I should start now to farm cloth to raise to exalted the cities factions before everyone are on that during WotLK hahaha
Someone had found that achievements were datamined in the game (people lost their minds about this thinking it was the end of the world), so it is likely they are tracking it so achievements don’t go missing when they go live by prepatch
