If they're really raising skill caps to 525, the first thing I'll be doing on the day it hits is getting to a fishing trainer. With all the new water areas ... maybe they'll give us something exotic to fish up in the remade flooded Darkshore?</p> <p>It's just that corpse running and all, I'll miss the old Bay of Storms. I'll get over it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/rip-bay-of-storms#post-6973 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:25:24 +0000 Vesena 6973@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>During a panel at Blizzcon, they showed a series of screens demonstrating how the phasing system could cause water levels to rise as you progressed through a quest chain. The actual location wasn't clear, but my initial suspicion was that it was Azshara. Also, if Azshara is going to become a Lv.10-20 zone, it makes sense they'd size it down a little since it currently takes so long to traverse even with an epic mount. </p> <p>So maybe instead of RIP we'll be saying "Congratulations on your expansion"? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/rip-bay-of-storms#post-6972 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:38:29 +0000 Silverblades 6972@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Pretty much my first major fishing concentrated expedition was in the bay.

It's not highly fished because even if you don't have to fight your way there, it is still a PITA to get to. Consequently, the lobsters and mightfish are still very profitable on my server, making a nice fishing expedition a two-fer. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/rip-bay-of-storms#post-6945 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:26:36 +0000 Cherel 6945@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Now that it's been officially announced that Azshara is getting a make over, does anyone else feel any sadness about the Bay of Storms going away?</p> <p>I have so many good memories of fishing in the Bay of Storms ... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4464 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:54:19 +0000 GormanGhaste 4464@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I do think Winterspring should be mentioned as an option, at least--many people using the powerlevelling guide are already high level, not to mention the DKs who start out with the Everlook FP. For many higher level players, Winterspring is the faster option, considering travel time. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4415 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 05:35:14 +0000 Gummo 4415@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Azshara is pretty reasonable for a lower level who is patient enough to swim from northern Durotar along the far fatigue edge of the water to get to the bay. I've been fishing in the bay lately, and I have been getting a lot of darkclaw lobster (which sells very well). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4406 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 11:34:26 +0000 Marlburo 4406@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Might I add that you can only catch a 103 Pound Mightfish/22 Pound Lobster in Azshara......couple bonus points to bay of storms in my book </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4383 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 02:02:48 +0000 Pipre 4383@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Guess I should do some fact checking next time!

I swam out a ways into Bay of Storms (to make sure I was away from the coast -- locationFu did say I was in Bay of Storms), and I was getting mostly trash fish -- Yellowfin, Rockscale, Firefin, regular Mightfish, Clams. After one lure of time, I had no Darkclaw Lobster or Large Raw Mightfish. Certainly could be bad luck... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4370 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:15:43 +0000 el 4370@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Both Azshara Bay of Storms and Winterspring require 330 to cast, 425 to stop fish getting away. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4362 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 07:21:59 +0000 Pipre 4362@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I dunno El, running past all the Naga in Azshara at lvl 35 is still pretty daring.</p> <p>Another thing to keep in mind is that the Bay of Storms has a much higher fishing requirement than Winterspring. If you're leveling both at the same time you may need to spend some time in Winterspring to get your skill up high enough to fish there. Ignoring skill requirements though, Azshara really is a great place to get those last few cooking points. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4355 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:05:27 +0000 el 4355@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Based on my records: In <a href="/fish/?s=Azshara" title="Fish Finder - Azshara.">Azshara</a> Bay of Storms area, <a href="/fish/?s=Darkclaw Lobster" title="Fish Finder - Darkclaw Lobster.">Darkclaw Lobster</a> is 45% and <a href="/fish/?s=Large Raw Mightfish" title="Fish Finder - Large Raw Mightfish.">Large Raw Mightfish</a> is 5%, making 50% of the catch useful for leveling cooking. In <a href="/fish/?s=Winterspring" title="Fish Finder - Winterspring.">Winterspring</a>, <a href="/fish/?s=Raw Whitescale Salmon" title="Fish Finder - Raw Whitescale Salmon.">Raw Whitescale Salmon</a> averages only 40%. There are variations by time in both locations, but not for those fish.</p> <p>Those percentages are based on large sample sizes (over 700 catches in each area), so I'm fairly confident that Bay of Storms was the best option. I say "was", because I haven't re-checked that for several years.</p> <p>But there is a very important reason for avoiding Winterspring: The tunnel! That stage of the guide needs to work from level 35. It's simply not realistic to get a level 35 character into Winterspring without a lot of help. Azshara is much more forgiving. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/azshara-vs-winterspring-cookingfishing-285-300#post-4353 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:37:17 +0000 KenNashua 4353@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The fishing/cooking leveling guide seems to suggest Azshara is your best bet for getting to 300. However in my experience the drop rate is crummy. Why not instead advise people to head to Winterspring for 50%+ drop rate on Raw Whitescale Salmon for used in the Baked Salmon recipe? </p>
