[Fishing] Safe fishing spot in Wintergrasp

  1. Kassi <Angler>, 3 years ago:

    I've heard rumors that there is a spot you can fish in Wintergrasp without being flagged?

    I'm a PvE server carebear who likes to make Fish Feasts for her raid team and it would be nice to be able to fish in peace :)

    The trick is to sit in Dragonblight (on the ledge on the southern side of Wintergrasp), but cast so that your bobber lands in Wintergrasp. Catch is based on where the bobbers lands. PvP flag is based on where you are.

    (Some people might view this as an exploit, I'm not sure. All my experiences are on PvP realms, so it makes no difference.)

    I did test this, because on my PvE server, we have some unfriendly Horde who like to farm honor whilst we try to farm fish :)

    Above the refugee camp in Dragonblight, it is easily possible to stand on the ledge and fish effectively in Wintergrasp - toward the right side of the shelf is a "V" shape cut into it, bringing the water easily close enough for comfortable fishing.

    Note, if you are positioning yourself initially, you may inadvertently move too far forward (and thus move into Wintergrasp zone), this will flag you for 5 minutes, simply shuffle backwards until mini-map reads Dragonblight, and your flag will wear off in 5 minutes.

    EDIT: Don't go AFK in this spot (unless you mount your flyer) - there is a cyclone mob that sometimes shares the same space as this fishing ledge, and apparently likes to eat fisherpeople up. If you die here, your only option is a Spirit Healer - you get ported to graveyard at Stars Rest, with no way to climb and retrieve your corpse :(
