It changes the counter to 3 possible rare fishable in Azshara, I will go fish there and eventually edit in this post my results but that's not really what you are looking for but JudgeHype datas may help you even English users by 'hardcoding' the item ID into the sample url below. However, I'd like to point out that the logic of 'less drop variety = higher chance at fish' is still flawed as Blizzard is always in control of the drop rates, the real manipulator of how rare something is or is not.Ĭomment by 182649According to a reknown french WoW DB you can also fish the 68 Pound Grouper in Azshara, the French db site records very well fishing locations. Stonebull Lake is the popular choice atm.

However, until enough information is collected on accurate droprates of these rares, we can't be certain which ones are the easiest and which ones are the most difficult.Įdit: after reading the forums at ElsAnglin ( ) it seems that Bay Of Storms isn't the best place to fish, and that the two drops there are rarer than others. It simply means that those 2 fish occupy a higher range of numbers basically, from 2 to 2000, with 1 being the rare fish (assuming that the 1 in 2000 drop rate is the same across all rares).Īs such, Ashzara is the best place to do it, because 2 different rares makes it 2 in 2000, or 1 in 1000 - much greater odds. It's worth it in the end.Ĭomment by jaxsonbatemanAssuming that the RNG rolls a 2000 sided virtual die, having only 2 types of fish doesn't necessarily mean that getting the rare fish is much easier. Good luck to everyone else still doing this. 'I GOT IT! EXPLETIVE FINALLY!' All told, almost 15 hours of bait, and 5 days solid of doing nothing but fishing while I was on WoW. Was on last night getting ready to log to scrim CS with some friends, caught him and started yelling at the top of my lungs on vent. 13 hours 30 minutes worth of bait into it and still no Dark Herring. *SECOND EDIT* FYI in HF I am 5 episodes of 24, 4 episodes of American Idol, 1 episode of Lie to Me, the entire 3 hour long Gandhi, all told. *EDIT* Yah I totally gave up - other areas have to have a better drop rate. On the down side, Leeroy Jenkins and his guild had 3,300 times better chance of survival in the UBRS whelps than you do of catching this fish. On the upside, you're odds of catching one of these fish is slightly better than winning $100 playing Powerball (1/11927.18 chance to win $100 in powerball).

Comment by 231672Currently in bay of storms working on this - 3 hours 20 mins worth of bait into it - 768 catches - no drop yet.Įl did the number crunching and figured it to be 1/10000 that any of these fish drops.
