Heres my Fishing Buddy info from 10:40-11:00am
Barbed Gill Trout (37 :64.9%) Golden Darter (10 :17.5%) Spotted Feltail (10 :17.5%) caught about 15 Gill trout before i started catching feltails and darters so hang in there
If you're looking to fish by the bridge north of Allerian Stronghold, you'll need a pretty high skill.
My base skill is 245. I'm using Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20). With Bright Baubles (+75) it said my skill wasn't high enough (which totals 340). With Aquadynamic Fish Attractor (+100) I was able to fish and had a 50% success rate on catching any fish at all (total skill 365). So unless you enjoy torture, you'll want your skill after all bonuses to probably be 375+. I'll post again when my skill is higher to report success rates, otherwise please post your experiences.
I happened to be awake & available to play wow this morning from 4am-5am & I caught 15 Golden Darter in 1 hr. at Allerian Stronghold in Terrokar Forest.. Started with base skill of 300, which ended up @ 307.. Had a friend with Engineering skill make me the Fish Attractor lures (+100 fishing 10 mins.) .. -=>By the way you only need Engineering skill of 125 to make these lures, mats are usually available cheap on the AH<=- I would assume these fish are available in their given location(s) between 12a & 12p server time daily.
P.S. - My fishing rod as of right now sucks, yes (only +5), but I intend to win the Arcanite Fishing Rod tomorrow (Server - Eredar) .. I'll update with that afterwards. :)
It did seem that fishing these during the day yields more drops than fishing at night. That said, there isn't much difference, and if you are determined I wouldn't let time of day stop you. (I caught 32 in about an hour and a half after midnight)
Has anyone seen any pools of these in Terrokar? Anyone have the coords for a few of them? Thx
To start off, my fishing is at max skill (375)
I use Nat Pagle's pole (+25), and typically use the baubles (+75), so for the following results you can assume my fishing skill is 475. I did a trial of 10 minutes each in three different locations: 1. The body of water outside Shat. Golden Darter: 6 Spotted Feltail: 6 Remaining catches: Barbed Gill Trout 2. Body of water beside Stonebreaker Hold. Golden Darter: 7 Spotted Feltail: 2 Remaining catches: Barbed Gill Trout, Inscibed Scrollcase 3. Body of water in Skettis.* Golden Darter: 9 Spotted Feltail: 6 Remaining catches: Barbed Gill Trout (quite a few less of these than the other two locations) *Note: I had a few more "your fish got away" messages here, whereas at the other two locations almost every catch was successful. My conclusion: the quality of fish are better up in Skettis, but not worth the time unless you have a very high fishing skill, as more will get away than will be successful. Hope this helps everyone out there searching for some fish sticks :) Good luck! (These trials were done between 6 - 6:30 pm server time)
I had fishing skill 322 + 20 from rod and + 75 from bright baubles. Fished on a little pool just outside Shattrath city (39,22 in Terokkar Forest). Change to get Golden Darters was about 28-30%. I think it's worth of upgrading your fishing skill there than get longjaw mudsnappers on noob areas:) Best part is that SC Peacekeepers are just beside you so no matter of gankers there:D
I am very confused by fishing lately. Will these fish drop only from pools, meaning a lot of hassle, flying around, competition and what not (= not worth it for me) or will they also yield from 'normal' fishing? I know that if the latter is the case it would drop significantly less than from pools, but I'd rather stand at one spot fishing for a few hours rather than flying around all day finding pools.
Yes... you can fish them from any of the waters in Terrokor Forest. My experience is a drop rate of 20-40% depending on the time of day.
Tried fishing under the bridge as I normally fish the lake and get quite a few missed fish. 30 minutes under the bridge resulted in no fish getting away (348 skill to start+20 pole+100 lure) and I got
21 Golden Darter 27 Spotted feltail 43 Barbed Gill trout 1 curious crate 3 inscribed scroll cases so just about a 20% drop rate on the darters.
Found a decent spot - catching them at about 50% rate @ 55.4,31.6. There's a tributary that creates a small pond on the southeast corner of Tuurem. It may just be cuz I'm losing some fish, but yea, about 50% currently.
