A Perfectly Piscine Present

Like Keredria, I’m among the fortunate minority of players who enjoys the Fishing tradeskill. I find it to be not only relaxing but lucrative. An hour’s worth of dedication can provide enough piscine consumables to cover a week’s worth of raiding, often with enough to share with needful guildmates. I primarily fish the Sporefish and Steampump Debris pools of Serpent Lake in Zangarmarsh, gathering a stack or two of Sporefish to bake up into Blackened Sporefish (which, according to previous calculations, are twice as valuable to me as Golden Fish Sticks).
Today is my birthday, and knowing my love for Fishing, my friend Valenna camped E-Bay for two weeks to get me the following:

This item is acquired by redeeming a code from a special card sometimes included in decks of the “Through the Dark Portal” expansion to the World of Warcraft TCG. As you might imagine, it’s a pretty rare item, and I’m the first I’ve seen on Scarlet Crusade to have one. A few things I’ve discovered in my brief time using it:
- Its duration is limited to three minutes. Unfortunately, if you’re in the middle of a cast when it poofs, you’ll lose your line.
- No one else can sit in your chair.
- If you set up your chair too far into the water, you may not be able to sit in it, even if you were able to stand in that spot.
- The chair can be used anywhere that’s considered “outdoors.”
I really love my chair. It’s going to make fishing that much more interesting and enjoyable. Along those same lines, wouldn’t it be great if Druids in Cat Form could catch fish by swimming through pools and activating an ability? The necessary dynamics are already in the game and first seen in the Red Snapper – Very Tasty! quest in the Draenei starting area. I really enjoyed that quest on my Draenei, and it seems a shame not to reuse the work that went into coding it.

I am excited that BRK is back, though!
/cry I love you, ty for everything.
awesome heh heh
Glad you got it looks cool!
Stylin’ as ever! Hope your birthday was a good one!
Curious – how do you get the shots of two different models? Like the cat swimming with the fish — do you do two separate wow model viewer shots, delete the background, and put them together after, or is there a way to load multiple models?
Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a good one.
Happy B-day.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We had a Heroes-premier party with ice cream and cake which was a lot of fun.
@Ego: Yes, I take two different pictures using the model viewer then remove the backgrounds. Sometimes I get a little CRAZY and do some cloning. I am teh master of copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste!
Grats on the birthday ding!
However, the jealous fisherman in me requires that I be a little bit upset that you have a fishing chair and I don’t
Congratulations on the fishing chair! My kid ebayed a picnic basket for my birthday in May… and (the rest of) my family and friends think it’s a little weird how I gush over it as the best present evah!
Addi – Parents don’t understand, Nuff said.
Happy birthday indeed, lots of wishes your way, hope u had a fun bday
Happy Birthday! What a great friend you have.
I too enjoy fishing and am rarely able to convince many of my other WoW friends that standing in one place and clicking can be relaxing… but it is!
Enjoy your chair.

I love it! I’m totally jealous.
Happy Late Birthday!
