In Wrath, there were copper, silver, and gold coins, each bearing a wish — or just a statement — made by a lore figure, to be fished out of the fountain in Dalaran’s Eventide district. I spent quite a bit of time in late Wrath fishing them all up and cataloguing what they said.
When Dalaran returned as the hub city for Legion, I was glad to see that there was an all-new set of coins to be fished up. This time, Marcia Chase sells a series of lures that are each effective in fishing up a different subset of the coins.
Whether you’ve fished the coins yourself and want to remember what they all said or whether you want to know what they all say without going to the bother of fishing them, here’s a list of all the coins and the tidbits of lore they reveal. Some are serious, some are silly, some are sad.
