I fumbled the loot window and saw it go away. I was heartbroken and figured my luck was blown but it dropped again just 200 casts later. Is the drop rate possibly increased with cata? This seems like a much higher drop rate than I had expected. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9914 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 05:23:06 +0000 traconis 9914@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i dont understand it why is it that everyone wants to catch dark herring for one that didnt get away you got other fishes that are for the achivement for example you can fish up the rockfish<br /> in stv extravangza like i did its a lot easy work than herring </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9836 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:05:39 +0000 SgtSuperman 9836@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have been working on Salty lately and I have two achievements left. Wining a fishing tourney &amp; Catching One that didn't get away (I got this on an alt after a few casts, never thought it would be so hard on my main). So like many others, while I try to catch the Dark Herring I am trying to catch the Turtle at the same time (hoping I catch it first).</p> <p>So far I have about 600 herring caught. So I am very early in this grind. I keep hoping on the next cast I will be one of the lucky ones. No joy so far.</p> <p>1000 herring caught. No turtle, but I did win The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby. Now all I have to do is fish up a Dark Herring for my Salty title.<br /> 1700 herring caught. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9768 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 04:58:15 +0000 Morrow 9768@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>No specific stats either, but I got mine before I reached 350 while leveling fishing pools in Borean Tundra. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9700 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:46:25 +0000 Sluggo 9700@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm sorry I don't have specific stats to offer, but I have the turtle on 2 characters, who got it at very different times: </p> <p> - My first was what I'd consider a fluke. I was doing the phantom ghostfish daily in River's Heart and fished a turtle out of one of the pools. It was totally unexpected and I'd probably only been 450 a month or two when it happened. </p> <p> - My second was almost a year later when I was chasing Salty on a second character, and only needed One That Didn't Get Away to finish it. I probably had about 20 1-hour sessions (250 casts or so?) at the lake in HF tryting to get the Dark Herring, and a week before it happened, I fished up the turtle. So I'd put in a pretty hefty amount of Northrend fishing before I got it. </p> <p> Sluggo </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9698 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:13:13 +0000 bossdawg 9698@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i have this mount and it did not come from northend i caught it in tanaris at the coast 10 cast bam not even fishin in pools </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9676 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:14:01 +0000 SpiderSpawnX 9676@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I dont want to brag, just want to add how and when i got my Turtle. </p> <p>I stoped playing wow for about 1 year then started on WOTLK in February 2010, I kid you not.. i get off the boat and grab a few quests, and then somwhere around 45 63 in Borean Tundra i go into a cave that winds down like a quarry, see my first pool at the bottom.. well mabey my second or third pool, but anyway i got the mount.</p> <p>I was playing with my wife who had been 80 for a while and asked her if it was rare drop .. she said "YEAH"!!! </p> <p>Now i look back and think.. damn was I lucky, now im on Old Crafty... late nights in Org :( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/turtle-in-how-many-catches-did-you-get-it/page/15#post-9580 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 11:12:34 +0000 leeummashhh 9580@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hiya guys! im probably gonna be the most recent post here till tuesday the 7th of december and we all know what that means ;)</p> <p>i tried to fish for the turtle mount about 3 months back ( and in the interest of keeping a long story short) i gave up on it after taking 6 days out of wow just to fish, about 6-8 hours aday for 6 days consecutive.</p> <p>2000 casts and nothing!</p> <p>so i gave up, i went to do all the fishing dailys, </p> <p>nothing still,</p> <p>Then in dala one day i saw a troll names Yuvali, riding atop a sea turtle! i made good friends with this man, he later told me that after about 6000 casts hed managed to reel the turtle in ^^</p> <p>i told him how id been doing and he said not bad but its gna take more then 2000 casts.</p> <p>and so my entusiasm was born again! i had a whole new reason to want this mount not just to sit atop in dala or the new org and look smug, but to see if i could beat 6000 casts as i was already 1 third of the way there!</p> <p>the only problem however, was there was only 8 days until the release of cata! and i was very determined to get this mount before then! </p> <p>so i set out to try and do about 500-6500 casts anight! </p> <p>it was possible for me to do about 140 pool casts every 50 minutes or so so it was do-able! </p> <p>but then i sarted to read peoples comments from wowhead and other forums on here! saying that every cast has a 1 in 5000 chance and even if youd of cast 100,000 times and still not got it, (Although unlikely) youd still be no closer to getting it! </p> <p>i felt really disheartend! but then i kept fishing, i managed to find some consolation with late night tele here in britain! its not that bad, an arnie film here and there! </p> <p>first night 10pm to 1am northing<br /> same for the second<br /> third night went till 2am, still nothing</p> <p>on the 4th night however. i was watching the apprentice, at about half 1 in the morning and then it happened! i wasnt even wathcing the screen but the noise was unmistakeable! then as i had autoloot on, i just managed to catch a glimpse of it as it enetred one of my bags! </p> <p>i had to look at the chat log to double take! and check! it was a wierd feeling! as if id fell asleep and it werent happening! </p> <p>but then a flood of guildies saying gratz!!!! followed and i checked my bag,</p> <p>it was there! i had done it!!!</p> <p>tok me about 5634 casts in total, but thats only in the one lake, i had about 9k total fish caught and 15k fish and other stuff caught,</p> <p>i soon told my friend id beat him with 5.6k !</p> <p>its amazing! </p> <p>im truly happy!</p> <p>anyways thanks for reading! enjoy cata! ^^ </p>
