Figured just the fishing/loot gods trying to get me to quit. Like I said, they seem to be caught in groups of 2-4 then go on long droughts.....time is not a factor from what I could tell.</p> <p>It should also be noted after 2555 casts I never caught the 1 ring, or a 32 Pound Catfish there, though Stendel's Wedding ring seems to be a less rare item </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stendels-bane#post-10516 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:25:23 +0000 Marlburo 10516@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Needed the ring, below are the stats from West Fall (Stendel's Pond).

The first I managed to fish up 3 Stendel's Bane around 4AM server time with around 300 casts. The second time I caught 1 Stendel's Bane around 5PM server time with about 150 casts. Finally the third time was around 7PM server time and in 20 or so casts I received the Stendel's Bane that contained the ring. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stendels-bane#post-10424 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 02:36:40 +0000 Staggerleaf 10424@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Found The Bane after no more than two dozen casts. From 7 to 7:30 PST. Fished it up before hitting any of the other "valuable" like 17 pound Catfish or Healing Potion. Sat near the graves to greet low lvl dead Alliance players as they resurrected. Because nobody expects a goblin fishing barefoot in blue coveralls when they die. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/volatile-water-drop-rate#post-10309 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:54:49 +0000 Explicitname 10309@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, el. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/volatile-water-drop-rate#post-10308 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:42:39 +0000 el 10308@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well, the coastal open water catch rate for Volatile Water has decreased due to the addition of Azshara's Veil: I'm getting about 2% for each from open water (based on about 800 catches). Down at 2%, it all becomes highly variable - you could fish for an hour and never catch Volatile Water. Best advice if you are solely trying to catch Volatile Water is now to stay inland, where catch rates are approximately twice as high.</p> <p>Added: Clarified <a href="http://www.elsprofessions.com/news/4-1-fishing-highlights.html">the news</a>. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/volatile-water-drop-rate#post-10307 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:59:56 +0000 Explicitname 10307@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been fishing a fair amount today as well without any Volatiles dropping.

I fished for 2 hours and I caught 1 x Volatile Water and 17 x Azshara's Veil(Besides the normal fish).

I've seen plenty in pools, but not checked open water yet.</p> <p>I had a hunch the volume of Volatile Water in some of the inland pools had increased, but after fishing more I concluded I'd just been lucky. Unfortunately this is the problem with random lowish catch rates: They take of a lot of data to prove a change. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/volatile-water-drop-rate#post-10302 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 19:04:03 +0000 Explicitname 10302@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>On a side note, I have fished up 11 x Azshara's Veil during this fishing session. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/volatile-water-drop-rate#post-10301 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 19:01:21 +0000 Explicitname 10301@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Prior to the "hotfix" today, I was open water fishing for around 20 minutes and I pulled the regular amount of volatile waters that I normally do. After closing the game and reloading it, I've been open water fishing for around an hour and I haven't snagged one volatile water. Is anyone else having this issue or did they remove volatile water from the loot table of open water fishing? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stendels-bane#post-10273 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 23:01:50 +0000 Phrin 10273@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My 80 lock got the Bone Fishing Pole in a daily today, so I headed over to Stendel's Pond to get some fishing line for him.</p> <p>I started fishing at about 4:30pm server time. For almost 2 and a half hours I caught about 400 of the usual smallfish, snapper and catfish. I got a 19 pound catfish, 3 lesser mana potions, a bloated longjaw snapper and fished out a school of sagefish that was in the pond. All this for ONE Bane.</p> <p>At least I got some line for my shiny new pole.</p> <p>Fish on. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stendels-bane#post-10269 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 19:24:58 +0000 Snafu 10269@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I guess the RNG strikes again!

I started fishing at about 0015 (12:15am) server time, and was a little worried because I had just read your post. </p> <p>Between starting and 0200, I caught Stendel's Bane 7 times. Each one had reinforced fishing line, as well as a selection of fish and lures. The seventh one had the wedding band as well.</p> <p>After 0200, until abut 0300, I caught nothing except the usual suspects of smallfish, mud snapper and catfish.</p> <p>I also caught 1 x 19 pound catfish and 6 x 17 pound catfish.</p> <p>In all, it was a fun go at the Bane. No idea what I'll use the band for, but it's BOE, so maybe an alt can use it. </p>
