After about 25 casts, I got one Lightning Eel. So, the drop rate is very low, but they are dropped between 00:00 and 06:00. I'll try again during other hours and see how it compares. At least I got one Eel for the Stormchop recipe to make for the achievement. Just need 30 more for the Writ quest. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8378 Mon, 10 May 2010 09:02:01 +0000 Detri 8378@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Okay, thanks, El! :)</p> <p>I'm trying to save up some Stormchops when when I level my Shaman (just for fun in instances) so any help is much appreciated...</p> <p>Now for Clefthoof genocide! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8364 Sat, 08 May 2010 12:30:43 +0000 el 8364@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've confirmed that Lighning Eel can be caught in Winterspring at about 14:00. The catch rate seems quite a bit lower than 25% (perhaps 10% - needs much more testing). So maybe there has been a subtle change. Still, that would probably be better than Deadwind Pass/Zul'Aman at that time (just under 5%). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8352 Thu, 06 May 2010 13:48:35 +0000 Detri 8352@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was testing at 1:13PM. That's the afternoon... just after lunch. :)</p> <p>I was catching Sunscale, Whitescale and Redgill.. from memory... But specifically Sunscale, of the two you mentioned.</p> <p>(Edit: I think ZA and Deadwind are both static 4% drops.) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8350 Thu, 06 May 2010 13:37:09 +0000 Trokair 8350@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Could he just catch Lightning Eel faster in Deadwind Pass... or is that also subject to certain time frames? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8345 Wed, 05 May 2010 23:40:23 +0000 el 8345@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Tested this just after (EU) midnight, and I'm not seeing any changes.</p> <p>One question to you: When fishing in the afternoon, were you catching <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/raw_sunscale_salmon.html" title="Fish Finder: Raw Sunscale Salmon." class="nocolor" rel="item=13760">Raw Sunscale Salmon</a> or <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/raw_nightfin_snapper.html" title="Fish Finder: Raw Nightfin Snapper." class="nocolor" rel="item=13759">Raw Nightfin Snapper</a>? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8343 Wed, 05 May 2010 22:31:45 +0000 Detri 8343@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well, I can confirm that my realm time is working and it's indeed correct when I type /time.</p> <p>I posted a message on the EU Forums, under professions, so maybe someone can shed some light on it there.</p> <p>When I have time, I'll get an addon installed and take some print-screens.</p> <p>Perhaps they're affected by Autumn/Spring (Spring and Fall) and it's fliped on it's head at the moment?</p> <p>I'll keep you all posted.</p> <p>Great site, by the way... it's a great corner of Azeroth you've got here. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8342 Wed, 05 May 2010 14:19:58 +0000 el 8342@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Times should be based on the realm. If you're playing on a US realm, then it'll be rather too early.</p> <p>Generally times split into 4x 6-hour blocks: 1 best, 1 dead, and 2 some. The dead time for <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/lightning_eel.html" title="Fish Finder: Lightning Eel." class="nocolor" rel="item=13757">Lightning Eel</a> is 00:00-06:00. Literally 0 catches. 06:00-12:00 and 18:00-00:00 are times when some Lightning Eel can be caught. But the highest catch rate is 12:00-18:00.</p> <p>Having said that, I haven't checked this for a long time, so it may have changed. It would be helpful if you could confirm the realm time (by command /time). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/lightning-eel-woe#post-8341 Wed, 05 May 2010 11:40:59 +0000 Detri 8341@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Okay, not woe... I'm exaggerating!</p> <p>But even so, I'm sat here in Winterspring at 1:36pm Eu Server Time and of the 50+ fish I've caught, ZERO have been Lightning Eel.</p> <p>My first thought was that I should consider PDT in America and delay my 12:00 - 18:00 fishing window by the 8 hours difference in time between CA and London... but then I dismissed that as madness.</p> <p>Still... I'm fishing in theFrostfire Hot Springs in Winterspring... just north-west of Timbermaw Post.... East of Felwood.. and according to El, I should be on a 25% catch rate, or less.</p> <p>But THIS much less?</p> <p>If anyone has any tips, then please do pass them on.</p> <p>I caught a handful of Lightning Eel last night (around 9pm server time) but maybe that was just conincience.</p> <p>Thanks, fellas. </p>
