So the new turtle mount will be fishable from any pool in northrend, completly random...
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...
So what do you think?
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 11 months ago:I suspect the biggest (closest) concentration is in the Frozen Sea, just south of Borean Tundra. Sholazar Basin also has a lot of pools, fairly close together. Both are higher skill areas, which will tend to reduce the number of people fishing.
Of course there are locations such as Lake Kum'uya (near Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra) where pools generally respawn fast enough to allow one angler to go round and round the same lake. So you might not need a huge concentration. Likewise, it is reasonably effective to fly round the coast of Northrend, or along the rivers of Grizzly Hills.
There are other things to consider, such as who else is fishing, the value of the normal fish you are (mostly) catching, and whether you can (mentally) survive fishing the same handful of pools for days. Personally (over 6,000 pool catches so far - and no turtle), I have to keep on moving to new areas, just to break up the boredom...
tbh, i'm kinda glad you have 6000 catches and still no turtle
how harder to catch, how cooler it will be to have :p
thanks for the good idea's, seems their are enough good spots and moving around will be needed idd if i dont wanna go crazy :p
i have the turtle mount from the tcg, he probably wont see the light of day once i fish this up!
"Barely outpaces Hook of the Master Angler"
Umm, not sure about that. The hook is 25% swim speed bonus correct? And the mount is 60%. Not to mention that you have to wait 30 seconds after equipping the trinket to use it so the mount is WAY better imo.
The thing i'm curious about is what happens when you leave the water? can the turtle go on land or do you auto dismount??
If it can't get out of the water, the mount will simply suck...just like the trinket sucks when you hit air bubbles (it knocks you out of form whenever you hit an air bubble).
hopefully it'll give you 60% riding speed in AND out of water (so it'll behave like a lvl 30 mount out of water).
hmm yes offshore is probably best place to fish..until everyone reads our posts lol
meh, most of you are us servers anyway :p
So, brace yourself for the hate..... I just fished up the turtle mount. I went into sholazar to do the fishing daily (ghostfish), saw a nettlefish pool, 5 casts later.... TURTLE.
One, this mount is not nearly as big as I thought it was. Two, I'm a little disappointed because I thought it was going to be a challenge. That said, I'm moving slowly through Dalaran on a cool new mount!
I hate you.
No, honestly, grats!
Too bad my server JUST came up.
I fished mine up about an hour ago in the little lake by Westwind Refugee Camp. That area has a pretty good concentration of pools and rarely anyone there.
Woot! I just fished up the turtle mount in Borean Tundra from an Imperial Manta Ray school. (I spent over an hour fishing in The Frozen Sea and had a bag of cuttlefish and monsterbelly, so was just fooling around looking for other pools.) Of course I mounted immediately - and was pleased to see that while riding underwater I didn't get a breath bar ... I wonder if that will change?
Happy casting!
So..... is the drop on the turtle mount abnormally high for some reason? If all of us got one this quickly, and it took El 6000 casts to get nothing, maybe something is wrong in the coding.
Fished up my turtle mount about a half hour ago in Borean fishing for Musselback Sculpin at around the 350 catch mark. I was shocked (and pretty pumped) that it dropped so soon!
Good luck everyone!
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 11 months ago:Congratulations and thanks for the reports. Keep in mind that random loot is random. So many people are trying to catch the Sea Turtle, it is inevitable a few people will be lucky.
I got my sexy turtle from Glassfin Minnow pools in Crystalsong Forest. I love this thing. :D

It's a random drop with a low drop %, some will get it after a few catches, others after thousands, and others will never get it. And dont forget that this is a site about wow fishing so u will see other ppl posting that they got the turtle.
Glacial Salmon pools in Grizzly were going to be my place. The salmon sells well and is used for fish feasts. Might as well do something productive while trying for the turtle.
Got my turtle after 127 Salmons in Grizzly Hills.
Hmmm none of the turtles so far from what I see here and on the wow forums were from the frozen sea so far.........I figured the pools where u can see the giant turtle boat is the LOGICAL place to catch turtle mount
Sigh 450 casts last night...I'll try to fishfor an hour or so tonight out there again
fishing next to warsong hold, going fine, lots of pools
