There will sometimes be an elemental there, so not a good location for low levels. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-8932 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:23:14 +0000 Quigley 8932@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I agree on the Bridge arches and the small cliff top waterfall overlooking SB. I don't seem to be harassed at either location. </p> <p>Additionally I wear a fishing outfit, hat overalls (Mechbuilders) etc so often I see Horde check me out then move on, or flit down and join in getting their daily too.</p> <p>Should someone prove hostile at the Waterfall location, a couple of trap trinkets and engineer boosters help me fly off the waterfall and parachute into SB. (I like base jumping, try it off the Violet Tower over Dalaran sometime) It's nice to vault off into the horizon blasting flames in their face. :D</p> <p>- Quig. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-8882 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:55:45 +0000 Lilitheen 8882@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This may have been mentioned in previous posts, I'm not sure I may have just missed the location but if you're fishing when you get the notice to que up and you decline you get teleported to a very small pond between waterfalls just above Sholazar. I've had good luck there most of the time. Don't know how long it'll last though.</p> <p>Also as a Warlock I've tried another method that's a bit of a taunt probably. There's one lake where there are no water elementals so I drag out my succubus and set her to aggressive to act as a first alarm. I set my demonic teleport as far away as I can, underneath one of the floating ice sheets. Then I use a water walking potion to stand as far away from any shoreline as possible. I figure at the least an enemy will have to drop into the water to attack me and hopefully I'll have enough warning to teleport and switch back to my DPS set. I think at least doing this I might stand a chance. Obviously this is only for Locks tho. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-8866 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:51:46 +0000 stormbear 8866@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have been fishing from river ice directly next to the south wall of the East Park Vehicle Park - there is a small nook on the SE corner of the building where the wall extends below the waterline. Great little corner. It is a difficult place for opposing faction players to attack. A frontal assault is difficult because it is all water. The angle above, from the workshop is too steep for ranged weapons.</p> <p>From the south side of the building, your only real problem comes from miners seeking out veins of mineral. They travel so fast, they typically pass by the time you res in.</p> <p>Check it out and see what you think! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-8861 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:19:05 +0000 Al 8861@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>After being killed numerous times fishing near the flightpath, I've always gone under the Western bridge. I sit on one of the braces under the bridge ... in my fishing attire (practically no protection since I go for the "barefoot dwarf with cheek of tan" look) and I USUALLY am left alone. I've often fished with hordish fisherpersons in peace. Only once was I ganked in that spot. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-8856 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:28:04 +0000 Cherel 8856@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Utopia <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spots-in-wintergrasp#post-5738" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Fortunately the unwritten 'If you're fishing, you're offlimits' rule seems to be working on my server for WG fishing.</p></blockquote> <p>I wish that were so ...</p> <p>I've had a couple of characters who did fishing dailies starting from level 70 who never got ganked in WG, however lately, there have been a tag team group of belftards who camp the lake near the Alliance camp (where everyone goes for the daily).

Theres a waterfall at the north of icemist village. Fly to the top and land on the large slab rock. Go forward a bit (hopefully not to get flagged) you will be looking at the Eastpark Vehicle workshop. It may take a couple times to find the right spot but your bobber will sometimes be in the rock but you can still fish up when you catch something. Oh and its so nice when you hear fighting and see the Horde is winning. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spot-in-wintergrasp#post-7353 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:00:19 +0000 Christhina 7353@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I did test this, because on my PvE server, we have some unfriendly Horde who like to farm honor whilst we try to farm fish :)</p> <p>Above the refugee camp in Dragonblight, it is easily possible to stand on the ledge and fish effectively in Wintergrasp - toward the right side of the shelf is a "V" shape cut into it, bringing the water easily close enough for comfortable fishing.</p> <p>Note, if you are positioning yourself initially, you may inadvertently move too far forward (and thus move into Wintergrasp zone), this will flag you for 5 minutes, simply shuffle backwards until mini-map reads Dragonblight, and your flag will wear off in 5 minutes.</p> <p>EDIT: Don't go AFK in this spot (unless you mount your flyer) - there is a cyclone mob that sometimes shares the same space as this fishing ledge, and apparently likes to eat fisherpeople up. If you die here, your only option is a Spirit Healer - you get ported to graveyard at Stars Rest, with no way to climb and retrieve your corpse :( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spot-in-wintergrasp#post-7304 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:55:41 +0000 el 7304@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The trick is to sit in <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/dragonblight.html" title="Fish Finder: Dragonblight.">Dragonblight</a> (on the ledge on the southern side of Wintergrasp), but cast so that your bobber lands in Wintergrasp. Catch is based on where the bobbers lands. PvP flag is based on where you are.</p> <p>(Some people might view this as an exploit, I'm not sure. All my experiences are on PvP realms, so it makes no difference.) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/safe-fishing-spot-in-wintergrasp#post-7303 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:31:31 +0000 Kassi 7303@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've heard rumors that there is a spot you can fish in Wintergrasp without being flagged?</p> <p>I'm a PvE server carebear who likes to make Fish Feasts for her raid team and it would be nice to be able to fish in peace :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6592 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:37:19 +0000 gentrinity 6592@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Was fishing last night in the alterac mountains and have had considerable difficulty with 2 spots in particular....

Most confusing is that the bug is based on where you stand, not where the bobber might land.</p> <p>Added: There are a few posts in Blizzard's customer service forum, so they're aware of the problem. The solution given is to stand in the water, which isn't always possible. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6541 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:47:10 +0000 dejaa 6541@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This was happening to me in Borean Tundra. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6540 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:09:52 +0000 Rangthar 6540@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Same for me in Howling Fjord.
