Therefore going after the Man O' Wars. I started in the Borean Tundra, eastern-most point of the coastline and worked my way along, finding almost no schools.</p> <p>When I'd reached the ruins in the south, I frustrated started fishing out the Manta Ray schools, in the hope of causing Man O'War schools to spawn. There was not a single such school until I reached the northern-most point of the coastline.</p> <p>I then cut across the tundra and started in the east again and when I passed the ruins, Man O'War schools started showing up. <strong>Every single</strong> fish school up to the northern-most point was a Man O'War school, no Manta Rays in sight.</p> <p>Is it possible that the schools there flip between Man O'War and Manta Ray every time they respawn? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crazy#post-10215 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:11:03 +0000 Marlburo 10215@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I do A LOT of pool fishing. I can't help to notice that pools (highland guppy/fathom eel) respawn MUCH faster during peak hours. During off hours i can go up and down the coast and have just a couple of pools respawn (and see no one else fishing). While during peak hours I can find multiple pools traveling up and down the coast, even with others fishing. Any evidence to support a better respawn rate during certain hours or is this just another crack pot theory from someone who spends WAY to much time fishing? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/node-mechanics#post-7134 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:37:58 +0000 Unit 7134@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was just wondering if anyone has spoken with a GM or has insider info. about how nodes actually work, fishing nodes in particular.</p> <p>Are items "preloaded" on a node when they spawn?</p> <p>If not, when does your random roll for the items in the loot table take place - at the splash or when you actually loot the bobber after the splash? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/ptr-vs-wotlk#post-1704 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:43:51 +0000 Haalf 1704@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was reading about the the reduction in catches needed per skill point from 1-375 in WotLK. Does anyone know if this is the same on the PTR? I guess what I'm asking is will this be in effect with the patch tomorrow or will we have to wait for the Xpatch? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/suggested-tip-for-pool-spawning-section#post-1461 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:13:45 +0000 Gummo 1461@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This should probably be mentioned along with "cherry picking" schools -- if you are fishing a zone that's mostly empty over a period of days, you can "cherry pick" pools on your last run on Mondays, because the weekly maintenance will reset all the pools anyway. </p>
