If I save all the bags I get from now til the patch, and open them afterwards, will I be able to get Waterlogged Recipes out of them? Or is the loot predetermined when I pick up the bag? This also applies to the increased drop rate of Cooking Awards from Spice Bags. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-want-your-opinion#post-6708 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:49:04 +0000 seaborn 6708@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My main toon seems to be barred from getting the fishing goodies.</p> <p>Another of my toons got the jeweled pole on Tuesday, then the Bone pole on Wed.

This does not happen for every daily quest. I believe that if you continue to catch nothing, eventually the quest fish will appear. Keep in mind that daily quest fish are no longer always caught on first catch - it might take many catches, as it did originally in patch 2.4.</p> <p>There's also a <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14498290792">post</a> about Crocolisks in the City kicking a character out of the game when recalling to Dalaran, which I know nothing about.</p> <p>If anyone else has more information, please post below. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crocs-in-the-city-a-nice-trick#post-3799 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:19:38 +0000 Mala 3799@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>WARNING: This has only been tested on EU-Realms!</p> <p>Many of us got everything (except the crocs) from the fishing daily and are only waiting for "Crocs in the City" to appear. But only a few knew this little trick. (Or call it bug, whatever you want...)</p> <p>Winter:<br /> The daily-counter get reseted at 3:00 AM. But the quests change some seconds later. If you accept the fishing daily 1 second after the counter reset, you'll be able to do yesterdays daily a second time! If you're very fast (deactivate your addons to log in faster), you can do this with 2 chars on the same account.<br /> This works also with the dungeon dailys and the PvP daily in Shattrath. I tested this once in Dalaran with the cooking daily, but it did not work. Maybe I was too slow? Don't know. I will test it sometime later, but crocs in the city is priority #1.</p> <p>Summer:<br /> This will be a litte bit different. Quests change at 3:00 AM. But the counter is reseted at 4:00 AM. So you can get the quest at 3 AM, complete it and do it again at 4 AM. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/bugged-shripmin-quest#post-570 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:09:56 +0000 Khandril 570@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just thought I'd report it in case it happens to anyone else...</p> <p>The first time I got "Shrimpin' Ain't Easy", every bloated fish I got had only partially digested weeds in it. I fished up about twenty, double-checked I still had the quest and it said "0/10" on my shrimp count. I abandoned the quest and got it again, same result. Didn't feel like waiting 90 minutes for a GM, so I just gave up on it, that day.</p> <p>Guild members reported it worked fine that day, and it worked for my alt, so I don't think it was server-wide.

Shatt = no croc.</p> <p>I then port to Silvermoon to start my journey, the first set of water encountered turns out isnt fishable either after journeying to the bazaar it turns out there isnt fishable either....<br /> SIlvermoon = no croc</p> <p>The Undercity - just the normal old skulls and sickly looking fish - no croc</p> <p>Next on my list was Orgrimar but this is stated in the quest text and is already known to have the croc, i went anyway just to make it a complete test.

The catch rates for these fish are very variable. I'd like to gather reliable data about how many catches each quest fish takes. In the <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-changes-in-24-the-dailies">PTR thread</a> we saw that even with the equivalent of months' worth of data from one character, the pattern wasn't clear. This isn't something I can do alone, nor is it information that the database sites will collect correctly.</p> <p>So, I'd like you to please:</p> <p><strong>Count the number of catches from starting to fish for the quest fish, to catching the quest fish.</strong> If you caught 7 non-quest fish, and then the 8th catch was the quest fish, record 8 against the quest.</p> <p><strong>Please post data in this thread using the following format:</p> <p>Away:<br /> Bait:<br /> Crocs:<br /> Felblood: </strong></p> <p>Here's an example:</p> <p>Away: 10,12<br /> Bait: 1,32,15<br /> Crocs: 3<br /> Felblood: </p> <p>The first line, "Away", is for The One That Got Away. The two numbers mean that you recorded the quest twice, the first time got World's Largest Mudfish on the 10th catch, the second on the 12th catch. Put a comma between numbers. So Bait Bandits ("Bait") was done 3 times, with the <a href="/fish/?s=Blackfin Darter" title="Fish Finder - Blackfin Darter.">Blackfin Darter</a> caught on the 1st, 32nd, and 15th catch. Crocolisks in the City ("Crocs") was only done once (3rd catch), Felblood Fillet ("Felblood") wasn't completed.</p> <p>Please:</p> <ul> <li>Only record results for catches that are in the <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/daily_fishing_quests.html">correct location</a> (open water, not pools) when the quest is active: Only submit catch rates if you are sure it is reliable.</li> <li>Don't record anything for Shrimpin' Ain't Easy - the catch rate from that is well understood.</li> <li>Wait until you have done more than a few quests before posting data - ideally post sets every few weeks.</li> <li>If you post several times <strong>do not post the same data again!</strong> Start a fresh template for each post.</li> </ul> <p>I'm curious about the catch rate, and I'm hoping enough other people will be to record and post their numbers. This first post will be used to summarise data posted. I'll update it from time to time - don't be concerned if updates don't happen immediately.

After doing this quest several times I accidentally discovered something. </p> <p>The shore I fish from is between the horde base and the mountain. As I’m alliance I usually stand closer to the mountain. This has worked well for me. But the last time I moved even closer to the mountain to avoid an annoying water element. Fifty two casts later I still didn’t have my quest fish. I knew something was up. I looked up at my mini map and found that it no longer listed the name of the lake. I moved to the left a few steps and the text changed and showed the lake’s name again. I started fishing and caught my quest fish in a reasonable number of casts. </p> <p>So be sure to check your mini map to make certain you’re standing in the right spot. Even if you are fishing in the right lake you may not be fishing in the right lake. The folks at Blizzard have an odd sense of humor. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/more-24-details#post-357 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:32:17 +0000 Gummo 357@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Someone said in alt.games.warcraft that their alt could do the baby croc quest (I assume level 70) even though that alt hadn't fished before, getting their skill from 1 to 20 doing that quest, so there's no fishing skill minimum.</p> <p>There is still an invisible wall preventing swimmers from reaching Sunwell Isle; this might be worth mentioning to any below-70 fishers thinking of going there. I don't know if players below 70 will be able to use the portal to Sunwell Isle that will spawn in Shattrath after the required number of Sunwell dailies are completed by players in the realm. </p>
