I didn't know what the hell it did so i just kept on fishing. Later on it turned out to be the fishing boots, so i was quite happy to get that at my first cast.</p> <p>However i lost the tournament with 2 fish left to fish but i didn't mind it, it was my first try.</p> <p>I'm not familiar with the drop rates yet but a friend of mine, who was fishing, got 3 of the same fish (which led to the hat) in a single tourney. So with that i don't think you may only have 'one fish each tourney'. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate/page/2#post-1186 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:38:29 +0000 Dolphinfed 1186@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hehe Yep yep, totally random, you're going to hate me for this probably, but I got Fishing Hat first cast, second tastyfish, third Fishing boots. &lt;3 Totally random. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate/page/2#post-1160 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:49:10 +0000 Petre 1160@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The uncommon fish that drop during the tourney are entirely random. I've looted 2 of the same type of fish during the tournament many times. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate/page/2#post-1159 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:24:35 +0000 bristal 1159@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've only done 3 contests, won it once, got line/hat other times. Is it possible that you can only get one rare fish per contest? Some posts have reported several in a single contest, but I also read that rare fish initially required a loot confirmation, then a patch stopped that, then it came back. So maybe it was possible to get multiples only when the patch was off.</p> <p>My reason for asking is that I don't understand why a rare fish would require a confirmation box, since fishing can't be a group loot activity. Yesterday during the contest, I was at 37 tastyfish, and starting to get a little shaky, then a stupid rare fish dropped and the confirmation screen nearly made me jump out of my skin. Of course in my haste I accidentally clicked [cancel] and lost it. Then 30 seconds later someone won. GRRRR!</p> <p>Spent the rest of the contest fuming at why on earth you would need a confirmation screen, but I managed to get another rare. Then it hit me. If they limited it to 1 rare per contest per person, it would make it more difficult to collect them all, and the cofirmation screen would be if you caught a rare that you already had, you could throw it back and keep trying for the one you needed.</p> <p>Any thoughts?</p> <p>Can anyone verify that they have gotten more than one rare fish while having to confirm the loot? And if that's not the case, WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO CONFIRM????? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/bop-popup-gui-gone-for-extravaganza-rare-fish#post-963 Tue, 27 May 2008 14:39:16 +0000 Deathxtreme 963@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I posted this in my "Mr. Pinchy's Wishes" Forum topic, but yesterday I got a BoP popup confirmation box when I caught Mr. Pinchy (Patch 2.4.2). I guess this answers my question that it's back for all the rare fish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate/page/2#post-959 Mon, 26 May 2008 14:21:27 +0000 Doubled 959@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just wanted to join in.....I did the STV Extraganza for the first time this past weekend.

I haven't played WoW a year yet, started in Sept last year and it is May now (you figure out how long) and for the contest i maybe been at it seriously for 4 months top. And i've gotten a rare almost every contest that i never won, because i allways stay the full time fishing, until 1600. And i have won the boots twice and the hat 2 or 3 times, never the fishing line. So it is not like you have to catch one before you get another. But it seems the drops various between servers. And not only in the competition. But also in dailies fishing quest. In one server they got Crocolisk in the city several times in a row and on my server no one had got the quest yet. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate#post-795 Tue, 06 May 2008 06:25:39 +0000 interferenza 795@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i did 3 contest now... the first time, just when i get the last fish, a horde guy won :(<br /> second time... too much people in the area i like, so i changed side of stv, fished a lot of blackmouth... and the last time someone won when i cought the 38 fish </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate#post-609 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:04:55 +0000 Gurko 609@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've fished 5 or 6 tourneys on Thorium Brotherhood with Gurko and Garona with Mardigillian. I've never been terribly close to winning, but on Garona I've had something you might call luck with the rares. Hat and line in my first Garona try (3rd or 4th try over all), and 3 count 'em 3 hats in my second try. My biggest problem is having to stay up til 2am for the tourney to start (3am when the US isn't on savings time). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/bop-popup-gui-gone-for-extravaganza-rare-fish#post-607 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:30:43 +0000 Gwydaine 607@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Yes confimed on Mr. Pinchy here as well </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate#post-597 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:45:10 +0000 Calabar 597@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the contest tips. I did read that section of the board as well. I’ve always made use of a few of the tips, such as using my mount and heading in the opposite direction of the crowds, but I’ve made some additional notes and I may shelve my frustration and try it again a few more times and see what happens. </p> <blockquote><p>Yes, you can.

I had success using the shore near the Gurubashi Arena both times I won, there are 5-6 pool spawns within a short distance of each other. Of course, I was fortunate to get 5 pools all to myself at the beginning of the contest so I was lucky. </p> <p>Move fast between tastyfish pools using an epic mount if possible, or some other means of speed.</p> <p>Always try to go the opposite direction other players are going when looking for new pools. Pools respawn all the time.</p> <p>Never share a pool unless you are almost done the contest. </p> <p>As noted above, be prepared for luck to play a role. If other players are constantly fishing from your pools, or you get alot of oily blackmouth etc., you probably won't win that afternoon. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stv-rare-fish-drop-rate#post-577 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:19:09 +0000 Calabar 577@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>“Im not sure about the rockhide fish since it is a grey fish and I didnt know it was a rare so i MIGHT have thrown it away as a "junk" fish.”</p> <p>Both the Steelscale Crushfish (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=6360;source=live) and the Rockhide Strongfish (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19808;source=live) are green items. In all the years I’ve been fishing in this game I’ve yet to catch either one. And I’ve only very very rarely seen them in the auction house. I have two steelscale crushfish in the bank, but I’ve yet to see the rockhide strongfish more than once in the AH and I wasn’t willing to pay as much for it as they wanted. But there are few things more fun in this game than beating mobs to death by dual wielding fish. *smiles*</p> <p>I’ve gotten all the special fish items from the fishing tournament as well, over various characters. Though I have gotten the hat most often and the fishing line the least. But I am jealous of those of you who have won the tournament. I’ve yet to accomplish that. Is there some secret to it? I always make Bootybay my bind point, but I’ve yet to need to use it. I’m always ten or so fish away when the winner is announced. </p> <p>And a bit off topic, is there a way to quote others on this forum? I’ve tried [quote] [/quote] and that doesn’t seem to work. </p> <p>Thanks. </p>
