[Exploit] Old Fishing Spell

[gurluas]

I have noticed that the old fishing spell works, now you may ask what the difference is, and why you'd put up with the disadvantage of having to use a fishing pole..
Well, the old spell, had a 10-20 yard range, the new one, has a 5 yard range, so you can be further away from the shore.

If you don't have it in your action bar already I am not 100% sure how to cast it.
I had in my action bar though, and it still functions perfectly, even if it has effectively been replaced with a new one.

Perhaps there is a way to make a macro that casts the old one?

Nice of you to find the 5 yard range or 10-20 yard range, but this section of the forum has : [No Questions] [No Theories] + written instructions. If you were to ask a question on how to get this is exploit to work, it should be in a different topic, but anyways nice find, I'll try and figure it out.

Macro :

/run PickupSpell(88868)

then place it wherever you want.

Actually the two spells are identical, if one doesn't work neither does the other. My guess is old tooltip, so no exploit here sorry.

[gurluas]

They are not, one of them requires a fishing pole, the other doesn't and I did test the distance, the old one has a longer range for the bobber.

The id of the old spell is 7620.

And yes I realize I did ask a question, but I also did post an exploit.

/script PickupSpell(7620)
This script command will give you the old fishing requiring a fishing pole, and with the 10-20 yard range. This is an exploit, this is not intended by Blizzard.

I can confirm that this does not work. The spell is not highlighted and won't cast, it has the same tool-tip as the current fishing spell -- but doesn't work.

I should also mention, I tried with a number of fishing poles and I'm on EU.

To get this working properly you have to be using the correct skill fishing spell the one I had posted was apprentice fishing, here this will help you out, insert the number in the parentheses in the /script command to replace the current 7620.

Apprentice - 7620
Journeyman - 7731
Expert - 7732
Artisan - 18248
Master - 33095
Grand Master - 51294
Illustrious Grand Master - 88868 (This one may not be correct, and I can not test it, but it should be.)

I noticed that I actually already had the 10-20yard one on my bar, but your command worked too - unfortunately the only thing that is different is the tool-tip, it isn't actually a further range than the one in the profession tab.

Another difference I noted was the 5 yd one has a cast bar, and the 10-20 yd one does not, could be due to bcb (casting bar add-on) though.

That's good if you like it.

[pm234]

works fine ( ID:88868 ) but the range isn't any higher. there is no castbar and it still stops after 20 secs

[gurluas]

The range is higher, I tried it. But it depends on the cast.
I have done several trial and error runs, and the bobber seems to reach further out with the old spell.
