While I’m sure I’m not the first death knight to do so I did want to show it can be done, and not at the expense of the many other things you want to do in game. This weekend I gained the title Salty Dedbitt.
For the non-fishing out there Salty is a title you earn by completing the achievement Accomplished Angler, which is done by completing all but two of the fishing achievements in the game. I had been working on this casually, but to be honest I had been focused on my cooking achievements more. Then I noticed I was closing in on the title and got more proactive about it.
Sunday I won the Booty Bay fishing contest, completing Master Angler of Stranglethorn and getting my beloved fish trinket back. I had won the contest before on my old character, and [Hook of the Master Angler] saw me through many an Serpentshrine Cavern run.
After that I decided to get as close to the title as I could. I did Northrend Angler, which was quick and easy, and then finished up The Coin Master, getting a [Titanium Seal of Dalaran] for my efforts.
That left me with only [Mr. Pinchy], which I figured would take some farming. However, my dumb luck holding for the day, I fished him up within half a dozen pools and got the pet on the first wish, thus completing Mr. Pinchy’s Magical Crawdad Box and gaining my new title.
So yes, a death knight starting out with a fishing skill of 1 can get the title and it can be done part time, given enough luck and/or time (less of one means more of the other). I’m not going to be putting up my pole any time soon, though. In addition to fishing being my source of my favorite buff food, [Dragonfin Filet], I still need a fishing hat and boots and there’s a gnome sized [Giant Sewer Rat] waiting for me in the Dalaran sewers. Maybe I’ll be more attractive to him now that I’m not a bland Dedbitt.
