[Fishing] Seat Turtle Questions

  1. RatrixGlory <Angler>, 3 years ago:

    I am on my 29 hunter on Maiev, and have been fishing for the Sea Turtle for three days here in Crystalsong Forest. Is it possible to even loot the mount below level 30? Or am i just having bad luck.---

    EDIT: Also, On the Turtle Info it says two different levels.
    Only personal level 20 is required to ride the Sea Turtle. I recommend level 77 or above--- And then---I do not recommend trying to catch the Sea Turtle at low level. It can be used as low as personal level 30. Only level 5 is required to train fishing and catch the turtle.

    Level 20 is the correct minimum skill to ride the turtle - it changed from 30, and unfortunately I've not changed it everywhere - sorry for any confusion.

    After reading about the aquarium I set out to catch my sea turtle, to make things more interesting a friend also decided to get it and add a little competition. So I went to Howling Fjord, deciding to try for a Dark Herring at the same time, 1.5k catches later the turtle is mine and my friend is jealous lol. I fished exclusively from Fangtooth Herring Schools (still no rare herring btw) and finally caught my turtle in Winter'sbreath lake.

    Just caught mine today. I was doing the Ghostfish Daily Fishing Quest. I caught the Turtle on my third and final cast from a Nettlefish School in River's Heart. I caught a Nettlefish with it. My fishing skill was 419 (+25 with Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole). No lures, lines, other equipment was used. My level is 75 Rogue. I've never tried to fish the Turtle up before. I am working on trying to catch the coins and large rat pet. Hope this helps.

    I too caught mine while at the Ghostfish Daily in sholazar, all attempts to farm for it or fishing the entire northrend continent had no effect.
    My advice, simple , Keep Fishing, just continue to do the dailys and tho it goes against the very fibre of my being, even the Kala fishing contest, tho i wish Blizz would take that darned ring out of the prize list, so many twinks fishing just for the ring now its sooo crowded.
    Anyway as with all things in this game its just random so just keep fishing.

    and good luck the Turtle is awesome especially with the Mastercraft kala fishing pole which gives underwaterbreathing.

    I caught mine yesterday on one of my typical Glacial Salmon runs. I fish the salmon along with Nettlefish and Muscleback Sculpins for the Fish Feast ingredients. I go after 100 of each at a time to sell 50 feasts at a time in the AH on Fenris. Good gold in fish feasts btw along with all the herbs I pick and Frost Lotus I score. I was surprised and shocked when the achievement banner popped up, I couldn't believe it.

    The only advice I'd offer is something I read from El, just make sure you fish pools and like me, fish for something of fair value you can use or sell at least that way you're accomplishing 2 goals at the same time, if not more.

    The turtle is pretty cool really and certainly not seen all the time. His animation when you hit the space bar is funny too, he pops up and his head and feet pop into his shell for a few seconds. He's fun and well animated.

    @Lilitheen
    Whats fush Feasts selling for on your server? In the one im playing its very bad business to sell fish feasts - but the fish are selling great :)

    I get more money from just selling the fish (especially becaus Glacial Salmon are selling fro 50G a stack. Sometimes the prizes drop a lot, but then i just wait a day or a week - right now there are NO salmons on the AH, so after making the post i'll put in another 5 x 20 at 50G a stack :)

    My first comment/post under this turtle-post was from April 10 when i got my turtle on my old main char. At that point my main had 1 in fishing skill - and i wanted the turtle for my main.. Today my main is "salty" - have 3.300 catches but still no turtle :( Made 4-5.000G from fishing, so it isen't compleetly wasted

  9. Renetta <Salty>, 2 years ago:

    Seems like the turtle chance is somewhere in the 1/1000-1/5000 range. I have over 15k pool catches just to get the turtle but with RNG some of us are bound to never get it. I have single-handedly destroyed the fish market on my server for weeks when I was in full swing, so I made far less money than I would have on the standard price of fish. Fish in general doesn't sell too well on my server (feast or not). Frankly if you like me have everything but the turtle the money will likely not be a huge factor offsetting the grind. Or to put it differently, I'd be happy to forfeit some 5k gold income for not having to grind another 3k pools.

    So I just fished up this beautiful turtle after about 10-15 mins tryin for it.... sooo lucky!! :) Fished it out of the last of 6 glassfin minnow pools in Crystalsong Forrest .
    Wishing you all the best of luck in your fishing adventures!! :)

    Finally got my 2nd turtle.

    3 month ago I wrote on this page, that I picked up a turtle on my alt without hearing about it before. At that point my alt had fished around 1.500 fish from pools (including non-northern pools, as this character has levelled fishing the “good old way”).

    The catch made me commit to a project for my main Char. “Fish a Turtle, and become Salty”.

    Yesterday – after 4.115 fish caught I got my Turtle, which was the last thing I needed to end the project. The salty title came already after 4-5 weeks, as I got lucking in one of the tournaments, and won that one before I had completed all out-land dailies.

    Picked it up in a “Glacial Salmon” pool.

    I never over float the AH, but just stock up my fish on a bank-toon with full bankslots / guildbank, until prices are high and the process of getting my Turtle I have made somewhere between 6.000G & 7.000G

    GL getting your Turtles

    Got mine today competing in Kalu'ak Fishing Derby. I didn't win the derby but fished up a Sea Turtle instead. About 3 casts later I got the shark and ported to Dalaran for the consolation prize. I initially cast a few hundred times trying to get the mount but decided to let it happen "naturally".

  14. Wooly Bay <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    I got mine today !!! Woo Hoo !!!

  15. joditc <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    My friend got it after a few hours in Grizzly Hills.

    My husband just got it after 30 min fishing in Sholazar Basin (in Lost Lands).

    But I've been actively trying for months and still haven't got it!

  16. joditc <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    Hurrah!! I FINALLY got it after fishing for about 3 hours off and on in Crystalsong Forest, E end of the river.

    If there's a spot on your server that people do not frequent, then that is the easiest. More i importantly than that, is that you are likely going to be farming for a very long time. Watch a show, read a book while you're casting. Even more importantly than that, is make sure that you're farming something that is worth a damn, like Nettlefish or Dragonfin Angelfish. The latter tends to be the most expensive of all fish on most servers. Its used to make tank buff food.

    Of course, if you're a lowbie trying to fish for it, then just find somewhere nice where there are few to no mobs. Try Winter's Breath Lake in Howling Fjord, only non-aggro mobs fly around that place if I'm not mistaken.

    I got it yeasterday ,very happy ! About 2000 catching

  19. zerodegreez <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    After reading this guide and having a fishing skill of 602 (450+100+30+10+5+5+2) I still needed to get this mount and the rare fish. I decided to go into Howling Fjord and fish the two lakes and around the island. I spent 7 hours friday, saturday, and sunday of nonstop fishing for both. i logged on today to try again and 5 pools in i got my turtle mount. No Dark Herring just yet, but that is definitely next. Caught in pool directly above Skorn.
    So if you really want this mount, dont give up, be patient, and just toss a tv show on and turn your fishing bobber sound up and fish all day :)

  20. Harbin <Salty>, 2 years ago:

    Thanks for the Advice, I've grinded this a bit now doing 2 hours a day and caught about 3000 fish...Good news is at least you can make some money and work the guild acheivments at the sametime. I'm working all.

    Turtle Mount
    5000 Cooking Recipes
    10,000 Fish

    did get the dark herring the other day.
