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/fishing-in-wotlk#post-6654 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:44:17 +0000 nonameform 6654@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Looking back at how fishing skill had serious impact on your chance to catch something, I question why Blizzard has included BoP one hour lures that grant you +100 skill (<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46006" title="Wowhead - Glow Worm." class="nocolor">Glow Worm</a>). Sure they might be very useful for leveling your fishing, but when you're at 450 skill you might as well want to vendor them. At least I did so with some of my lures, but then I decided to save them, in case Blizzard makes them normal lures some time in the future and I will be able to sell them at AH/transfer them to my alts.</p> <p>In vanilla WoW days you had to have maximum fishing skill and had to use best fishing gear and lures available, so you could fish in Bay of Storms for money. In TBC you had to be well geared too to be able to catch fishes in Terokkar's lakes. Now in WotLK you need a maximum skill and a 75 lure to be able to catch all fishes you need for <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43015" title="Wowhead - Fish Feast." class="nocolor">Fish Feast</a>. Zones that require you to have more than 525 skill don't actually provide better fishes. How many of you actually made more than one <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43478" title="Wowhead - Gigantic Feast." class="nocolor">Gigantic Feast</a>?</p> <p>I only need to win STV Extravaganza now for my title (got as close as 39 fishes so far) and I'm wondering what I will do after that. Sure it might be fun for some people to win the contest twice for both the trinket and the pole, but I don't feel like doing it twice and making it harder for other people to get the title. Compared to the Undying title I have, Salty requires much more work and patience, as losing the contest several weeks in a row when you thought that you are about to win it, is really sad. Well, at least I can spend the rest of the contest time to fish for money and possible rare catches (got only one <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19971" title="Wowhead - High Test Eternium Fishing Line." class="nocolor">High Test Eternium Fishing Line</a> so far, so saving it for an <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19970" title="Wowhead - Arcanite Fishing Pole." class="nocolor">Arcanite Fishing Pole</a> I hope to win someday).</p> <p>Overall fishing in WotLK seems uninteresting. Yes, I can make money by selling Fish Feast, as I have about 1k+ <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43007" title="Wowhead - Northern Spices." class="nocolor">Northern Spices</a> on my main char, but I want some excitement from the profession. I got all possible achievements, except for the one mentioned above and I want more. Maybe some really hard stuff like catching all those fishes, that got away. That would keep me busy for some time or catching 100k fishes, which isn't hard, but sure takes more time to get, than 1k for the title. I still have to see fishing rings and some of the rarer TBC fishing drops, such as crocs (make it an achievement too, come on), but all in all every time I think about fishing in WotLK, I get excited and then in a second I tell myself "Wait, there is nothing interesting to do actually."</p> <p>I'm not an angler, just a fisherman, a sissy by someone's standards as I didn't bother to level my fishing skill to maximum until WotLK arrived, but after that it became a way to pass time in game without mindless killing or farming reputation or whatever. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/coralshell-turtle-a-mount#post-4731 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:11:59 +0000 C Rage 4731@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><strong>El says: For a summary of strategies, see <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/catching_sea_turtle.html" title="Catching the Sea Turtle Mount.">Catching the Sea Turtle Mount</a></strong>.

You DO go the faster swim speed if you drink a swim speed potion and then mount up (about 135%, with or without the turtle mount). It's just whatever gives you the single highest swim speed.</p> <p>It's possible that spurs et al. are "working," but just like other swim speedups, the turtle mount is faster and they don't stack.</p> <p>It's also interesting to note that my priest can go just as fast on water using <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=1706">levitate</a> (with the glyph to remove the feather reagent) and any +8% movement speed enchant to boots; adding his 2-point <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=64129">Body and Soul</a> talent as often as possible gives him an average speed of about 120% </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/just-a-quick-thanks#post-6108 Fri, 08 May 2009 11:40:41 +0000 tru 6108@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i would like to just take a moment to say a big thanks to the guys that run this site, The help that it gave me getting my turtle and lvling my fishing was gr8 took some time but i got it in time</p> <p><a href="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/430/wowscrnshot050809002234.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/430/wowscrnshot050809002234.jpg</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/luck-of-the-day#post-5681 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:13:44 +0000 Basill 5681@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>*Slowly regains sanity*</p> <p>Hi fella anglers...</p> <p>Just some luck info.... </p> <p>So today I thougth I need to fish, I have been lately trying to find the Hyacint parrot, but em bloody pirates are not very eager to give it up, so after 2800 kills, I decided to fish for some mental relaxation, as always I peek at El fabulous site for info and discovered the new turtle mount. ..

So, on with the show.</p> <p>In this count, I included crystalized water as fish as it takes the place of a fish. I did not include the crates caught nor anything in the count to replace them as, as odds go, the faster you are casting and fishing, the more chance you have of getting the mount. I did however walk out with alot of cobalt ore. </p> <p>I started on 4/16 in the afternoon and ended 4/20 at 3:30 am. The mount was caught in the pool closest to the river seperating Dragonblght and Grizzly Hills. </p> <p>The total fishing was done in the river snaking through Grizzly Hills and the Blue Sky Logging Grounds. </p> <p>The total by day are:<br /> 4/16-200<br /> 4/17-635<br /> 4/18-1565<br /> 4/19-1309<br /> 4/20-83<br /> For a total of 3,792 fish.<br /> You were not kidding when you said you would have to catch thousands of fish. However, I hear that I will control the firecracker salmon market for sometime to come. </p> <p>I know you can catch the mount in any Northrend pool but if you put the time in and control an area, you will win.....eventually.<br /> Yubbyubb Turalyon Horde Hunter<br /> **** these numbers DO NOT include pygmy suckerfish as they are the secondary catch with the main fish </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/31-fishing-mount#post-4766 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 03:32:47 +0000 Daisyvondoom 4766@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>"A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools."
