It did seem like many of my casts were shorter than normal and it's easy to stand a few feet away from where I normally do.</p> <p>The quest came up again today and it took 5, 8, 4, and 18 casts. The last character had several short casts which again may have contributed to the higher number. I suppose that I am standing in a spot that normally is okay but has little tolerance for poor casts. And if I am a few feet short of where I usually stand then the casts must be that much further to even count toward the quest.</p> <p>Maybe I should just consider the above a bad weekend on my part. Other than that my Outland quest luck has been very good for the last week -- two Weather-Beaten Fishing Hats and three Eye of the Sea's. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/incredible-luck#post-7478 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:47:41 +0000 el 7478@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Are you absolutely sure the bobber was landing in the correct water each time? This is a very easy quest for half your casts to miss the correct water - for example, land in "Garadar" and not "Skysong Lake".</p> <p>Your numbers read a lot like the old (patch 2.4) method (see <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/random_catches.html" title="Random Catches - Uses data gathered from the daily fishing quests to explain the random nature of fish catches.">Random Catches</a>). With WotLK's progressive drop rates, these dailies rarely take more than 5 or 10 casts. And I'm not even sure 138 is possible with the new method. So perhaps the method changed again? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/incredible-luck#post-7477 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:33:18 +0000 saltydog9 7477@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Today when fishing the Outland daily quest(World's Largest Mudfish) I had terrible luck. I fished it with five different characters.</p> <p>434 fishing skill - 12 catches to complete<br /> 505 fishing skill - 31 catches to complete<br /> 505 fishing skill - 16 catches to complete<br /> 505 fishing skill - 47 catches to complete</p> <p>and finally with a character that just leveled to 70,<br /> 505 fishing skill - 138(!) catches to complete</p> <p>The 138 catches were 63 Barbed Gill Trout, 39 Figluster's Mudfish, 35 Icefin Bluefish, 1 Curious Crate, and 1 World's Largest Mudfish.</p> <p>I did not fish in any new areas. It usually takes 7-10 catches to complete even though I have completed it in one catch before. Yesterday the daily was the same quest and it took one of my characters 37 catches to complete.</p> <p>I don't think I like this quest anymore. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/be-careful-where-you-stand#post-484 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:21:06 +0000 Longhunter 484@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>i have an easy awnser use a water walking potion and stand in the middle of the lake you can dismount by drinking and you can mount just jump at the last sec and fly away </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/be-careful-where-you-stand#post-481 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:48:32 +0000 Pipre 481@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>yeah, I've been posting in just about every fishing complaint thread on the official forums about this to try and get the word out. It's logical it would work this way from a programming perspective, but not from a real-world perspective. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/be-careful-where-you-stand#post-480 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:18:30 +0000 Oberweiss 480@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This tip was <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-changes-in-24-the-dailies/page/2#post-154">buried in the "Fishing Changes in 2.4" thread</a>, too.

After doing this quest several times I accidentally discovered something. </p> <p>The shore I fish from is between the horde base and the mountain. As I’m alliance I usually stand closer to the mountain. This has worked well for me. But the last time I moved even closer to the mountain to avoid an annoying water element. Fifty two casts later I still didn’t have my quest fish. I knew something was up. I looked up at my mini map and found that it no longer listed the name of the lake. I moved to the left a few steps and the text changed and showed the lake’s name again. I started fishing and caught my quest fish in a reasonable number of casts. </p> <p>So be sure to check your mini map to make certain you’re standing in the right spot. Even if you are fishing in the right lake you may not be fishing in the right lake. The folks at Blizzard have an odd sense of humor. </p>
