[Fishing] Herring Seeks Your Life!

  1. Bhavani <Angler>, 9 months ago:

    So, I logged on today after class with my first priority being to get the Dalaran cooking daily out of the way. I usually head out to Howling Fjord to collect any required Chilled Meats, as the drop rate isn't bad and there generally isn't a lot of competition. On the way, I collect any herbs I see and fish a few nodes. I happened to spot a Fangtooth Herring node and thought to myself ' I'll just fish this node real quick before I go on my merry way.' Imagine my surprise when, lo and behold, I received Dark Herring along with a normal Fangtooth Herring after less than 5 casts! Here are my total stats, plus around 100 casts that occured before I uploaded Fishing Buddy:

    Howling Fjord
    Bonescale Salmon (44%) - 125
    Fangtooth Herring (29%) - 83
    Glacial Salmon (12%) - 36
    Pygmy Suckerfish (7%) - 22
    Crystalline Water (2%) - 8
    Reinforced Crate (1%) - 4
    Dark Herring (0%) - 1

    Total Casts: 279

    lvl 73 Orc Hunter on Kilrogg. Got one on 6 Feb in a pool of herring near the bridge leading south from Gjalerbron. About half-way between the coast and the lake.

    Hi all, caught Dark Herring today and this is how it went:

    - 399 fish caught before catching Dark Herring.
    - I had 450 base fishing + 28 rod + 100 lure.
    - Fished in Howling Fjord, and tried the subzones Cauldros Isle/Lake Cauldros, Daggercap Bay and Caldemere Lake
    - Caught the fish from a Fangtooth Herring Pool in Caldemere Lake.
    - I started fishing at 8 am, and caught it at 12:30pm approx.

    I got it in some 70 catches a while back. Around Caudron Isle in the pools. I was like "Woah! Are you serious?!?" And just a few days after I had gotten the huge lobster for The One That Didn't Get Away...

    Got Herring on 4th day today and got Salty Achievement aswell!!

    Caught Dark Herring on 5th day (approx. 2hrs per day). Just the extravaganza to go before Salty!

    Caught Herring in Fangtooth Herring School in Caldemere Lake. All data in Howling Fjord is in Caldemere Lake (Fishing Buddy sees some of the edges as Howling Fjord and not Caldemere). The lake is perfect because you can go in a counter-clockwise circle around the lake hitting each school. By the time you come all the way back around more pools have respawned. I was able to consistently hit 6-7 schools per circle. There are only 4-5 mobs at the beginning of the circle around the lake which most of the time can be avoided. There are no other mobs once you get past those (majority of lake).

    Caldemere Lake:
    Fangtooth Herring (161:51.9%)
    Pygmy Suckerfish (116:37.4%)
    Reinforced Crate (14:4.5%)
    Crystallized Water (7:2.3%)
    Glacial Salmon (7:2.3%)
    Bonescale Snapper (5:1.6%)

    Howling Fjord (actually edges of Caldemere Lake):
    Fangtooth Herring (238:52.1%)
    Pygmy Suckerfish (183:40.0%)
    Bonescale Snapper (16:3.5%)
    Reinforced Crate (5:1.1%)
    Crystallized Water (11:2.4%)
    Glacial Salmon (3:0.7%)
    Dark Herring (1:0.2%)

    The herring seems to blow the rest of the rare fish outa the water in terms of the RNG.

    After about 400 or so catches I pulled up this baby to gain me some Saltyness
