Northrend’s Kalu’ak Fishing Derby in 3.3

Calling all you fishing enthusiasts!

Patch 3.3 is going to add something that you’ll all probably love, a new fishing contest. The Northrend Kalu’ak Fishing Derby will be coming in patch 3.3 and is already being tested in the PTR. This competition starts at 8 pm every Wednesday and involves fishing up the elusive Blacktip Shark. Elder Clearwater will be in Dalaran for one hour waiting for everyone’s catch but only the first will receive the grand prize!

The derby winner will receive a a lot of experience or money if at maximum level and 500o reputation points with the Kau’ak. The winner will also get a choice between two nice items, the Dread Pirate Ring or the Boots of the Bay.

Players who didn’t win the derby but still caught the Blacktip Shark will still get some kind of reward if you turn it in to Elder Clearwater before he leaves. Maybe a smaller amount of experience or gold? Blizzard has also announced that the Achievement “Master Angler of Stranglethorn” will be changed to “Master Angler of Azeroth” and can be gained by winning either the Kalu’ak Fishing Derby or the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.

One new fishing contest with cool looking rewards, I think that’s great reason for all you fishing enthusiasts to take part in this. That Heirloom looks especially sweet!
