0.4.1 — WoW Forever

Changed

• Copyright © 2026 BIOWARE INC. — ZTV Addons by Ezequiel Marrero. See LICENSE.txt for details.

0.4.0 — WoW Forever

Added

• Lifetime fishing statistics: Right-click Catch report or enter /za lifetime to view this character’s lifetime casts, catches, and top 20 caught items.

• Weapon swap-back: Equipping your rod remembers your main-hand and off-hand weapons. While the rod is equipped, the same button changes to Equip weapons.

• Additional lure support: Added Flesh Eating Worm to automatic lure preparation. Grants +75 Fishing and requires Fishing 100.

• Splash sound boost: During a fishing cast, sound effects are raised to full volume while music and ambience are muted. Previous settings are restored when the cast ends. Disable this feature with /za sound off.

• Added a ZTV Launcher button and an AddOn compartment entry.

Fixed

• The status line no longer remains on “Wait for splash” when a cast ends without a catch.

• Zone recommendations now compare against your Fishing skill even when the client does not report equipment bonuses.

• The status line no longer prompts you to click REEL IN after reeling with a keyboard or controller.

• /za help now includes lure, sound, and lifetime-statistics commands.

Supported Lures

• Shiny Bauble

• Nightcrawlers

• Bright Baubles

• Flesh Eating Worm

• Aquadynamic Fish Attractor

Notes

• Sound-setting changes made during a cast are preserved.

• If a reload or crash interrupts a cast, your sound settings are restored on the next login.

• Every lure application, cast, reel, and gear swap requires a player button press.

0.3.8 — WoW Forever

Added

• Automatic lure preparation: Your fishing button selects the strongest supported lure in your bags that your Fishing skill allows.

• Rod-enchantment detection: Lure application is skipped when your fishing rod already has an active temporary enchantment.

• Shared controls: Lure preparation works with the on-screen button, keyboard binding, and controller binding.

• Action indicators: The fishing button displays APPLY LURE, APPLYING…, CAST, or REEL IN.

• Use /za lure on or /za lure off to enable or disable automatic lure preparation.

Supported Lures

• Shiny Bauble

• Nightcrawlers

• Bright Baubles

• Aquadynamic Fish Attractor

How It Works

Press once to apply a missing lure and wait for the application to finish. Press again to cast, then press at the splash to reel in. If your rod already has an active temporary enchantment, ZAngler skips the lure step.
