[Fishing] Steelscale Crushfish - bugged on Darkmoon Island?

  1. Aggropop <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    I started fishing for my sea pony today (dec 4. 2011 kazzak - EU realm) and to my surprise, after only 6 casts, a Steelscale Crushfish drops! After bragging about my luck in guild chat, a guildie said that he got one while fishing for the pony as well. 7 minutes later i got ANOTHER crushfish. I'm not sure if this is just a case of insane luck, or if the drop chance for the crushfish on Darkmoon Island is much higher than shown on this website.

    Has anyone had a similar experience or is it really just a coincidence?

    It *was* one of the rarest catches in vanilla WoW, which is why it is a criteria for One That Didn't Get Away.

    Insane luck is possible, and obviously there are lots of people fishing for the Sea Pony, so we'd expect an above average number of Steelscale Crushfish catches.

    But I'm seeing a lot of reports. And I've also caught it myself for the first time ever (in the Wetlands, while checking a rogue Sea Pony rumour). So definitely maybe.

    I have to comment here. That was my last achievement to Salty for 4 months. So i decide to focus on sea pony for a break and went with a few guildies. 5 of us went and 5 of us left with the Steelscale Crushfish and 1 of us left with 2. Highest amount of catches was myself with 402. After countless hours fishing for dark herring i am ofc HAPPY this is over. I did see other people get it also, so as the above person said "definitely maybe".

    Just had it drop myself, after 34 catches. Having spent hours and hours farming for the Dark herring with no luck, I'm certainly not complaining! Going on the sheer number of reports I'm hearing of this dropping it may well be higher than average droprate.

    Steelscale Crushfish is definitely dropping like hotcakes. I now have (3) in less than an entire hours worth of fishing. (2) within minutes of each other.

    Wonder what I'm doing wrong. Been fishing at DM island like crazy for this fish (over 600 casts) and haven't seen it yet.

    Is there any specific location in the island that you guys have been fishing at?

    240 casts to get my sea pony
    200 casts to get my steelscale

    GG to the ~4.5k casts to get my 15 pounder over at darnassus.

    I was fishing at the DarkMoon Faire this morning about 9:00 am EST. I had caught the Sea pony just west of the cave/cove on the island yesterday in the afternoon after about 30 Minutes of fishing in open water. I went back this morning to fish the holes and I moved to the cave area. I had only caught a few junk fish, when I noticed a spot of bright blue in the water off shore near a small rock island. The second fish I caught after that was the Steelscale. It was just a quick but bright spot of blue that looked very similar to the water holes that used to appear out near the cave in Feralas a long time back. I don't know if it was related to the Steelscale catch but thought I would offer it up in case anyone found it helpful!:)

    Went to the cave this afternoon, caught Steelscale on my 112th cast. No sea ponies in that time frame, but I already had one. Thanks for the Tip! Officially salty as of today :p
