[Fishing] Pygmy Suckerfish Worthless

  1. thejmz <Angler>, 9 months ago:

    It seems that since the 3.0.8 patch the catch rate of Pygmy Suckerfish was greatly increased.

    I don't have the raw data b/c i stopped using fishing buddy, but when i am farming Nettlefish at River's heart i catch 1 about every other catch.

    They once went for 90g per stack and now they're going for about 3g per stack.

    Has anyone else noticed the same?

    I am not making the most on Mussleback Sculpin and Nettlefish - do you guys think they will ever introduce new fish into WoTK?

    I am getting a little bored with the current selection.

    The catch rate of Suckerfish is ridiculous... The catches are rare where you DON'T get a Suckerfish. :/

    THAT explains it. I've been playing lower level alts for the past couple weeks and was wondering why the AH price had taken a nosedive. Heck, there are actually some ppl selling it on AH for less than the vendor price.

    yeah, Suckerfish have gone from a bit of a profit-maker to annoying vendor trash in one little patch. I send them off to my friend to make pygmy oil and vendor the rest.

    Suckerfish make me wish there was a special fishing bag...

    A FISHING BAG!!!

    What an awesome idea.

    Where do we go to suggest changes to Blizzard?

    The most effective method of making suggestions to Blizz is to bang your head on brick wall.

    Not sure if its just me but i got nearly 2 stack's of these from farming Musselback sculpin pool's
    for about an hour.

    Blizzard has taken several of my suggestions posted on-- of all places-- the Suggestions forum. However, I can assure you that the fishing bag has been suggested. And, like everything else in the Suggestions forujm, some morons quote your entire message and refute it point by point, holding forth on exactly why it will never happen, even when it's already in the public test realm patch. But, I digress.

    Pygmy Suckerfish reverse the usual fish-to-oil ratio. Firefin Snappers and Oily Blackmouths require 2 fish per oil; Pygmy Suckerfish will give you one or two flasks for each fish. (And are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acid, I should add.) So you can think of them as potentially 1.5 flasks of oil apiece.

    Now, Pygmy Oil is fun in and of itself. Have someone douse you with Baby Spice and, as Steve Martin said, Let's get Small. But it also goes into a few mid- to high-end Alchemist recipes. Thing is, unless you're supplying your guild with Guru's Elixir and Potions of Wild Magic, you don't need that many Suckerfish... and yeah, dang near everything in the oceans and rivers of Northrend have them, even crystallized water and supply crates. Plus, you get some Pygmy Oil as a reward from the Dalaran fishing dailies

    Me, I can't bear to throw things away, so my level 58 banker holds onto several bags' worth of fish and oil. If they add more recipes that use it, I'm there.
