wow Underlight Angler Can be Slotted into Fishing Profession Equipment

[Stan 5,243]

If you own Underlight Angler, the fishing artifact from Legion, it can be slotted into Fishing Profession equipment in Dragonflight, turning you into a fish every time you enter the water.

Underlight Angler owners will be pleased to hear that you no longer need to have the fishing pole equipped in your main hand. Instead, the rod can be slotted into your Profession Equipment, and you will gain its effects permanently, turning you into a fish whenever you enter the water.

I attempted to put Lucky Fishing Hat  and Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots  and got an error message that only Fishing equipment could be placed there. So it would seem that for now, only fishing poles can be equipped in this slot.

Also, putting a profession equipment in its slot overrides your equipped weapon as the visible weapon, and if multiple profession weapons are equipped, whichever is equipped last is current.

Yeah, you gain a buff icon matching the journal icon "<professions> equipped". I had my arcanite angler equipped in journal, that was my visible equipped weapon, didn't matter if I did sheathe/unsheathe, or removed and re-equipped my druid's staff. Opened herbalism up and added the spade, icon buff changed to herbalism and my visible equipped weapon changed to the herbalism spade.

Also, don't bother to farm the rod with a new dracthyr character; Even after today's hotfix it isn't possible to open nodes with ap.

I'd like to add here, that the same counts for the Khaz'gorian Smithing Hammer from BfA. Sure there will be better stuff, but for now it safes a bit bagspace this way 😄

You can turn off the display of the profession tool replacing your weapon by right-clicking the buff.

There actually is a way around this, I've just found by experimenting. Put some AP into the Angler, equip it into your fishing journal, open the artifact forge for it in Dalaran (so you're staring at the blank artifact panel), and run this in the chat:

/run for i,powerid in pairs(C_ArtifactUI.GetPowers()) do C_ArtifactUI.AddPower(powerid) end

Essentially it loops over every node in the Angler's tree, finds the one it can actually unlock (Undercurrent, the starting power), and unlocks it. You will then be able to see, and unlock, powers normally at the artifact forge.

How do you get AP now ?

Tried doing a heap of Legion stuff but nothing drops
