[Fishing] The One That Didn't Get Away Miracle?

  1. Cam <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    So after using this website for months, I decided to join as of a few minutes ago after what seems like a miracle just happened to me that I'd like to share with you all.

    I am working on gaining my Accomplished Angler & Salty title. I only had 2 Achievements left as of about an hour or so ago. Of course, the 2 most difficult: Master Angler Of Azeroth & The One That Didn't Get Away. I decided I was going to start working on The One That Didn't Get Away today seriously after reading the strategy on here involving the Dark Herring schools. I've only ever even half-assed tried for 1 of these rare fish maybe once for an hour or so in Elwynn Forest, trying for the 15 lbs Mud Snapper. I saved in Howling Fjord's Inn earlier this morning before logging off to watch some TV for a bit while I ran some scans on my computer. I logged back in a little while ago & started fishing. I found 2 pools of Fangtooth Herring right next to each other on each side of the bridge located on the river directly North of Valgarde. I fished the 1st pool with no success & started on the 2nd, I almost crapped my pants when before the 2nd pool was even gone, I saw Green Text & Dark Herring. Then the Achievement popped up on my screen & I was absolutely dumbfounded. I just managed to catch a 1/10,000 fish in less than 10 casts!? (Not including my little sojourn in EF before)

    I just had to share this unbelievable story with all of you & get your thoughts opinions on it. Am I just that rediculously lucky or what?

    I was very lucky with the herring, myself. Just got it one day when I was fishing for fun & profit. :)

    I sincerely believe that the Dark Herring drop rate has been significantly upped. I do pool runs now very sparingly, but even in the 100-200 casts that I can make myself do, I tend to get 1 dark herring. That means I have seen on the order of 8 Herrings since I first caught one, which was after a content patch. Before that patch I didn't see a single one on a 1000 cast run.

    Or else I have insane luck getting them, when I don't really need them.

    You just have great luck with that particular item, I'm 600 casts in and I haven't found one yet. I ended up buying one off the AH because it was dirt cheap, though!
