[Fishing] Steelscale crushfish

  1. Gavotte <Angler>, 3 years ago:

    For the past month or two I've been fishing on and off in the Wetlands (Baradin Bay) for about, on average, an hour a night. My goal has been to catch a Steelscale Crushfish and come up with an approximate catch-rate. Well...after quite a long while, my goal was finally realized.

    As you can see, I unfortunately was not using Fishing Buddy. However, I can confidently say that catch-rate for me was approximately .001%. Hopefully this helps the fishing community a little. I urge others to attempt to catch this fish themselves, even though it can be terribly boring, and record their own catch-rates so we can finally know the exact catch-rate of this fish.

    I also must say...holding the crushfish and old ironjaw while in my fishing outfit looks quite nice. =)

    I went out to Hillsbrad tonight and caught one of these off the coast of Southshore after only 150 casts! This is a catch rate of .667% that took me a little over 50 minutes of total fishing, from between 3-4am server time. I know that I'm very lucky to have caught this from the small amount of casts that I made, but I still feel the information is helpful to the community.

    I made this catch just southwest of southshore, total fish:

    95 Rainbow Fin Albacore
    35 Oily Blackmouth
    18 Firefin Snapper
    1 Message in a Bottle (also cool item)
    1 Steelscale Crushfish

    I'll probably try and catch another one and update the posting if I do, but for now I'm gonna go celebrate.

    As a side note this site is an incredible blessing to the fishing community and I thank all of you that help provide it to us.

    Just thought I'd post my progress too, with NO CATCH as of yet.

    Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore x 203
    Firefin Snapper x 36
    Oily Blackmouth x 75
    Waterlogged Crate x 3
    Message in a Bottle x 2

    About 2 hours worth of fishing there!

    I caught him a while ago and decribed how long it took me in more detail in a thread called Crushfish Update. This is the last post from that thread.

    Rainbow Fin Albacore: 62.4% (2135)
    Oily Blacksmouth: 24.8% (849)
    Firefin Snapper: 11.1% (378)
    Waterlogged Crate: .6% (21)
    Small Locked Chest: .6% (20)
    Message in a Bottle: .5% (16)
    STEELSCALE CRUSHFISH: 0.0% (1)

    If you take these stats (3420) and add first posts (2280) you get 5700 exactly.....so I would say at best guess the 5000-6000 cast rate is about right in Southshore.

    I just caught it. It took me only 246 casts. It's probably very rare, though, judging by the comments of other people. I was probably just lucky.
