New Rare Fishing Mount Coralshell Turtle

So according to the PTR patch notes, there is going to be "A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools"

Coralshell Turtle - Summons and dismisses a rideable Coralshell Turtle (probably will look a lot like this). This is a very fast mount, both on land and in water. So its 100% on land and in water, much like all epic land mounts after the 3.1 patch.

So i wonder what the cast rate is going to be on something that is "very rare" it could be like fishing up Mr.Pinchy all over again.


Also it seems that they have removed the annoying Nat Paggle fishing quest, the one that you have to walk half way around the world and fish in different spots to get artisian fishing. This is now trainable from the fishing trainers.

- New fishing dailies are now offered from Marcia Chase in Dalaran City!

- Players are no longer required to do the Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme quest to gain Artisan fishing. The quest now offers a special superior-quality fishing pole instead. If you already completed the quest, you can visit Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh to receive this new fishing pole.

- The time needed to catch fish has been reduced.

- You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.

- You can now fish in Wintergrasp, and the fishin' is good!
- You no longer need to learn fishing from books. The trainers have finally done their reading and are able to teach you the same thing

- A new clam, the Giant Darkwater Clam, can be obtained by fishing in Wintergrasp. This mighty clam has a greatly increased chance to drop pearls, and yields up to five times the regular amount of clam meat.
