Both we're in Northrend, in WOTLK days. My first was a Druid who maxed her fishing and eventually got it. The second was my DK who went from 1 to about 200 something and got it.</p> <p>Now, I'm on my Goblin hunter, been fishing in Northrend for a week- stopped leveling, fishing nonstop, I want this mount before Vashj'ir. What I'm trying to ascertain now is whether or not you can still catch the mount in Northrend? Are we sure it's not JUST Cata pools, can we confirm it is still Northrend and Cata content?</p> <p>And for what it's worth, I did manage to fish up the Dustbringer. :/ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/sea-turtle-mount-photos-share-them#post-5423 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 03:09:44 +0000 Nonzor 5423@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've got a lot of people asking me to stop so they can take a better look at the turtle ... and I'd ask too, if I hadn't been one of the lucky ones who's caught one.

I recommend level 77 or above--- And then---I do not recommend trying to catch the Sea Turtle at low level. It can be used as low as personal level 30.

I have been fishing in northrend sense i was 48 as well as outland... I couldnt wait to get to Outland really as it is my favortite place to be , just tonight i dinged 70 and did the fishing quests from old man barlo and the kind lady in dalaran! And off to catch Mr. Pinchy in just a sec.</p> <p>So far i have collected around 6k gold sense lvl 48-70 when i picked up fishing and cooking, and traveled the world of azeroth outland and northrend in search of bigger fish! but sense i was to low and my agro range was large for monsters, i had to find the perfect spot...</p> <p>The spots i found and first the spot where i caught the sea turtle is in grizzly hills just off the outpost where the taunkon or taunken live , there is a little lake i beleive its called ashwood lake? im not sure but its where you go to kiss the frogs for the argent tournie, i fish there a lot for glacial salmon , and surprisingly the pools spawn within 6min of despawning so, what i would do is i would arrive and have 3-4 pools spawnd fish from them all till none were left and within 6min of the last one another pool would spawn... so thats where i caught her! I swear i told my guildies every cast i think its going to be the sea turtle! Dream it also , 20 min didnt even pass by when i closed my eyes and thought of the turtle.. I was completely shocked, blown out of my mind, what i would do is place my cursor over the bobber close my eyes and hope i hear that achivement sound, i did this in the session i caught the fish , kinda freaky all that "law of attraction" stuff hehe...</p> <p>I didnt really read to much about the turtle before i caught it , fishing an cooking was a way for me to make money an i have been! so places where i fished at 48-67 where agro was a problem in northrend and outland...<br /> Golden darter in terrokar forrest the small lake outside shatt, catch is 24-29% open water if i remeber correctly , great seller, takes lots of patience<br /> Nettlefish in the rivers heart in scholazar, lake threshers would taunt me if i got to close to the water i could fish from every pool except one without getting in combat.<br /> Glacial slamon ashwood lake easy for horde to get to with FP being right next to it just one level 72-73 wolf my fav place to fish!<br /> Yes the frozen sea is good tons of tons of pools but could never sell the fish<br /> This is getting long</p> <p>well now adays its been 2 days sense ive had my mount i use it every time im in org going across the mail and the ah, across pools , and to show off.<br /> Im happy to be a accomplished angler and share my tips an thoughts on this site, and i hope to talk to you all and share my tips as well as hearing on what you have to say</p> <p>Never give up! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount#post-5137 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:43:07 +0000 fredje222 5137@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So the new turtle mount will be fishable from any pool in northrend, completly random...<br /> Like evry good fisher i'm gonna fish like hell till i get it :p but i was wondering where the biggest concentration of pools is for fishing it...</p> <p>So what do you think? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/saddle-problems-on-sea-turtle#post-8690 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:30:53 +0000 Dmitrii 8690@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So my paladin was originally a blood elf, but I recently faction changed and it became female dwarf.
