[Fishing] MoP The Anglers Fishing Quests

  1. Druidmoon <Investigator>, 1 year ago:

    From doing the daily on the current beta [15739] here are some observations to add to El's quest information.

    Quest: Armored Carp

    The 'Armored Carp' required for the quest can be found close by, to the south of the buildings.

    The easiest way to do this is by equiping the item then swim down close up to the carp and click the 'Anglers Fishing Spear' to use it. It should hit any of the carp close by. The fishing spear does not seem to work at distance (unlike some NPCs who use a fishing spear)

    You can just kill the carp and loot the item without using the spear (though it is more fun)

    Currently the fishing spear stays in your bag after completion. It may be a bug as it leaves multiple copies in you bag (not auto-deleted) But like quite a few quest items, it may be intentionally left, to let you use it as a novelty item.

    You can equip and use the fishing spear any time and use it to kill other similar low level fish (they are not tagged as Critters but actually level 10 Beasts) It has a nice animation which it makes it a fun thing to throw at friends. It doesn't hit any objects (apart from the intended fish types), therefore, sadly, it can not be used to spear Taurens...

    EDIT: I tried it out with the level 1 critter fish at Sri La Village 'Saltscale Carp and it did not hit them so not sure if this does work. Will check some more.

    Quest: Piranha!

    The quest states 'Krasarang River' which will show up above the mini-map when you are in the right area. 'Krasarang River' extends north up from a line across from Dawnchaser Retreat to the east of the Temple of the Red Crane (not included) and up to Krasari Falls. Non of these adjacent areas is included even the Temple which lies within the Krasarang River area.

    You can also catch them on the coast at the waterfall where the river enters the sea in 'The Deepwild'.

    Quest: Fishing for a Bruising

    Make sure you are killing the right NPCs which are the

    Riverblade Raider as the others don't count. To make it easier kill the ones already fighting as they have low health. There is one on a roof which will bug out as it can't enter combat. They have 393k hp.

    Quest: Snapclaw

    Watch the sharks as you descend down to the cave. Hug the rock keeps you mostly safe.

    Apparently you do not get the quest complete if in a party when killing him. Tried it with another player. I got the quest complete but he did not. Generally now you get credit for killing a quest NPC even out of a group so not sure how this is different. Perhaps this will change.

    As you enter the cave be prepared for some music! Having never been to the Darkmoon Faire, it became obvious when I did, that the cave used for this quest is the same cave there underwater. And of course I understand the music now when you go into Snapclaws cave ;) Wonder if they leave it in as I thought it was a nice touch to a quest.

    Quest: Like Bombing Fish in a Barrel

    I can confirm that the 'Goblin Fishing Raft' next to Fiznix is working when I did the quest a little while ago. Comes with a barrel for the fish (quest title reference) and a neat stack of Goblin Fishing Bombs. Just click and you get the 'Rafting' buff although no animation like the one gained at Marista Village and a shorter duration version.

    Goblin Fishing Raft

    Also, there is another raft close to the spot where the Sting Ray are so if you lose the Rafting buff (any damage will lose the buff now i.e. if attacked by the shark) you can get another without having to come back.

    Once you have the raft just go round to the spot (you will see a small cannon and pile of bombs next to Goblin chair, umbrella and general trashy mess) or fly there and get a Rafting buff there.

    The buff is;

    Rafting

    Grants the ability to raft across oceanic waters in Krasarang Wilds.
    10 minutes remaining

    10 minute buff restricted to the zone.

    Like El said on the page, you can use the bombs on water not land. They can be used for a variety of fun, including showering Fiznix himself...! They no harm to other NPCs but do show fish flying up out of the water as part of the amination. The bomb currently stays in your bag after quest is handed in.

    Goblin Fishing Bomb Being Used on Fiznix himself

    Note the small fish flying up out of the water in the animation.

    For the actual quest, it's best just to drop icon onto the bar set with a button, then get around 10 yards range between you and the Sting Ray and spam the button. It throws between 3-5 bombs out in rapid sequence which, if the range is right kills the ray easily. Just steer the raft and spam the button and the quest is done very quickly.

    Watch out for the shark which will attack you and take off the Rafting buff and leave you in the water being attacked.

    You can kill the ray though they have high hp. Not sure if they still drop the item. But using the bombs is way easier and more fun.

    Until you hand in the quest you can recast the Rafting buff, so feasibly it could be used at anytime if the quest is not handed in.

    I suspect that the same Rafting buff will be available for the Shipwreck pool quests as there are rafts there also.

    Quest: Shocking!

    Double check you have 'Dojani River' above mini-map to get the drops.

    Doing the quest I only got a shock from the first eel caught, not after. Unsure if this is intentional, a proc chance or a bug.

    The shock appears to be only visual as there was no damage recorded in the Combat Log. Also, it did not remove the water walking buff which is normally the case if damaged.

    Quest: Huff & Puff

    Same as for Armored Carp; get up close and it usually hits first time. Spam the icon when spear equipped.

    Make sure pet is set to passive as one thunderclap will kill your intended prey...

    Quest: Jagged Abalone

    Fisherman Haito gives you the Water Gliding buff so no worries about breathing and the 50% movement speed increase underwater. Best to do it soon after taking the quest so as not to lose it while doing other quests.

    Bluetip Reef Sharks have 393k hp as do most lvl90 mobs.

    Occasionally you get a Baby Bluegill Murloc spawn when looting the abalone, then despawn after a few seconds. Photo here;

    Quest: Viseclaw Soup

    The area indicated on the mini-map is pretty restrictive and does not show all the places you can find Viseclaw Fisher. You will find a lot just a bit further east in Krasarang Cove where they are a shared spawn with the Viseclaw Scuttler.

    And added bonus is that occasionally you will see a family including three Viseclaw Fry which also drop the quest item.

    Updated the above post with some new comments of further quests so far including Like Bombing Fish in a Barrel, Shocking! and Huff & Puff.

    One interesting thing I missed first time or maybe it was not implimented at the time, when you go to talk to Ju Lien with his four rods, you can mouseover the rack next to him and a magnifying glass appears. It is called Ju Lien's Fishing Rack and clicking on it will give the following text in chat;

    Master Angler Ju Lien says: Creepy, aren't they? Never seen 'em before, but I've been pulling them in all day.

    They are the same octopus type Jiao Spawn that are involved with his quest there.

    This type of rack with octopus on it is used elsewhere in the game, though without the name and function.

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

    Ju Lien is a part of the Soggy's Gamble storyline. You will need to play through the full sequence there before the Jiao Spawns make sense. I've avoided a full description, because it doesn't have much to do with fishing, and is best experienced without spoilers.

    Quest: Snapclaw

    An update on the fishing daily quest 'Snapclaw'. Currently the NPC does not share the item with those involved in the kill like other quest NPC now in MoP generally do by design; instead it just goes to the first to loot regardless of first hit of killing blow. This is also true even grouped.

    Together with a long respawn time (around 5 minutes) it is making for old school long queues standing around and a cave filled with players waiting. Suggest to wait for a quieter time if possible. Hopefully Blizzard fix the loot share soon.

  5. Brick <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Re: Snapclaw daily. you can complete the quest whether in a group or not but only one person can loot the claw per kill. There is a 5 minute respawn timer so this quest is ideal for ninja looting and much cursing. Let's hope they fix it so all ppl in on the kill can loot whether grouped or not.

    The Beloved Ring cannot be looted unless you summoned Narjon the Gulper yourself. If another angler summoned the creature and fled, you may need to kill Narjon twice before being able to loot the ring.

    Trying to do this today, twice had Horde players looting the item after I had summoned by fishing in the pool (in fact one quite deliberately waited in the water for the summon) i.e. I summoned it , they aggroed Narjon while I was changing to weapon. I dpsed and probably killed it but the item was not obtainable. Third time to test I waited for until another Horde player fished to summon the Narjon, once summoned I dpsed and killed it and was able to loot and complete the quest.

    I suspect the loot is like Snapclaw in that it is first to loot. Either way it sucks as it is.

    In the latest beta they have fixed up the Klaxxi quest hub and appear to have added a new breadcrumb quest which takes you to Soggy's Gamble. Appropriately named Soggy's Gamble it is given by the NPC Ambersmith Zikk the Klaxxi quartermaster, who is on the ground, to the southern side of the hub. Hand in is to Deck Boss Arie at Soggy's Gamble.

    Soggy's Gamble

    So the bugs have taken an interest in us have they? Well if they want somethin' from us they'll have to come and earn it themselves!

    You work for what you get here. That means you too!

    At level 90 it rewards 1g 98s 50c with guild perk. No faction rep.

    Just a note that the Sharpened Tuskarr Spear can be used while mounted.
