[Fishing] 3.0.8 Daily Quest Quirks

  1. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:

    From what I've read on the official forums, the daily fishing quests are still sometimes bugged - as they were on the Public Test Realm: When trying to fish for the daily quest fish, the loot window comes up empty. This does not happen for every daily quest. I believe that if you continue to catch nothing, eventually the quest fish will appear. Keep in mind that daily quest fish are no longer always caught on first catch - it might take many catches, as it did originally in patch 2.4.

    There's also a post about Crocolisks in the City kicking a character out of the game when recalling to Dalaran, which I know nothing about.

    If anyone else has more information, please post below.

    Confirmed. I tried Bait Bandits, and got an empty loot window. Dropping the quest caught fish as normal, re-taking the quest gave me empty loot. I tried about 10 more casts and got the quest fish. I did not think to try and fish after catching the quest fish but before turning in the quest. I disabled all add-ons and tried overriding auto-loot with no difference (I would get an actual empty loot bag though, instead of just catching nothing, which made what was happening a little more obvious).

    I also did Crocs in the City on another realm, which DID give me a low-level fish each time (but the first looted fish was very lagged), and the crocolisk as the 2nd "fish" after a few casts. I self-mage-teleported to shattrath after catching the croc with no incident, but servers have been going up and down, so getting kicked may have just been the server.

    Just did "the worlds largest mudfish"

    at first catch.. extreme lag, couldnt loot , couldnt anyting.
    1 min later 1 fish.... fished then normally and after 10 catches it came....

    so seems abit buggy and looks like its back to catching is not in first cast anymore..

    I did the "Felblood Fillet" quest. Probably about 15-20 casts, I did not keep exact track. I started fishing for it, got a summons for a dungeon run, and failed to fish it up before I had to accept the summons. In that time, I did get an empty loot window.

    I returned after the run, and got a few more empty loot windows (as well as regular fish results). I eventually got a regular Felblood Snapper & a Monstrous Felblood Snapper.

    Definitely a change in the catch rate on dailies. I've had the "no loot" issue, plus the "first cast" benefit of many quests is gone. Tonight I got the baby crocolisk quest, which I've always gotten on the first cast in the Mage pool in IF, but didn't get one after many casts. When I went to Stormwind (where the quest actually says to go, LOL) I got one on first cast. Last night, I had to catch tons of Felblood snappers before getting the Monstrous one. Again, formerly a "first cast" item.
