This hat is a reward for catching a rare fish during the Sunday fishing tournament in Stranglethorn Vale, and from personal experience the Keefer's Angelfish is the most common of the rare fish.

Because the hat has no level requirements (and neither does the reward quest), this hat is a favourite for level 19 twinks with the patience to fish on the level 30+ STV shores = )

Комментарий от Witness

I caught mines within 19 minutes of the tournament, SE of Booty Bay, on the coast. Than the Brownell's Blue Striped Racer for the boots right at the end with 2 minutes left in competition. Rez sickness FTW!

There is a group of "very" small islands in that area that spawn pools of fish. Just a few non-aggro crabs wandering around. I suggest you take some Swim Speed Potion with you; I forgot :(

So much fun running around Org as a level 11 with hat and boots. Just have a little patience leveling up fishing skill and watch your aggro :D GL HF out there!

Ive now spend 8 Months fishing. Cought 2000+ tasty fish. I got 270 fishing all together with +100 on fishing pole.

Ive cought 2x Fishing boots, 1 line and won the contest Alone on my lvl 19 twink.

Still no fishing hat. This hat is all about luck, not how much you fish, i can bounch for that.

Комментарий от 26522

Sad news : this item is gonna be trashed. In the next patch (2.0.1 ?), this item will have 0 durability if you are below lev 45.

Which will render this beauty utterly useless. At 45+, you are so not wanting to have a 15 stam cloth, and the +5 fishing is hardly worth the trouble, given the way fishing works with +100 lures, and + 20 poles, on top of your skill.

GG morons.

How much fishing skill do you need to join the fishing tournament???

Комментарий от 43274

Every sunday at 2pm-4pm (14.00-16.00) the fishing contest take place in WHOLE STV.

After the contest start, pools of tastyfish will spawn all over the waters in STV, it´s there where you need to fish. It´s importented that you fish inside the pool not beside it. You need 125+ skill to fish in these pools thought you NEED 225 skill to catch a RARE fish as the Keefer's Angelfish. Keep the tastyfish you catch as you can sell them for a handfull of silver (27 silver / 5 fish ) to a goblin near the fishbot npc.

For twinks,

This fish is VERY rare so if you really want it, expect to fish a couple more times then only one.

Step 1
Train your fishing skill to 150 (125 needed but NOT recomended)
Step 2
Buy the best fishing rod you can equip and 3-4 stacks of fishing lure (+75, +100 ) if you have 150 fishing skill you only need the 75+, it´s VERY VERY importented that you ALWAYS fish with a lure on.
Step 3
Start fishing! gl hf :)

- It´s alot easier you can get helped by any lvl40+ to clear the mobs for you(remember not to group). But it´s easily doable alone if you are careful and find a good spot.

2 of the best places to fish;
The island with the ZG reputation trolls (no mobs)
The Shore east of BB and the small islands near the ships (few mobs)

The pools spawn every 10-15 min or so.

i am looking at making a lvl 19 twink rogue and was wondering if you can still get this head piece after the latest patch?
i don't want to lvl my fishing, do the contest, find the rare fish and find out that a lvl 19 can't use the item.
so what is the verdict?
also can someone link the best gear and enchants for a lvl 19 rogue and holy priest

Комментарий от 61132

0subaru0 ur gear will make any rogue die fast after last patch. Hp is just not the thing for rogues, just warning every1. Gear id recomend is:

For rogue:
Head: Lucky fishing hat (with agility +8)
Neck: Sentinel's medallion
Shoulder: Feral shoulder pads (with +30 attack power and +10 crit rating)
Back: Sentry cloak (with +12 dodge rating)
Chest: Tunic of westfall (with +4 all stats)
Wrist: Wrangler wristbands of the monkey (with +9 stamina)
Hands: Scouting gloves of the monkey (with +15 agility)
Waist: Deviate scale belt
Legs: Scouting trousers of the monkey (with nethercleft leg armor)
Feet: Nat pagle's extreme anglin' boots (with cat's swiftness)
Ring: Meadow ring of eluding
Ring: Meadow ring of eluding
Trinket: Arena grand master
Trinket: Skyguard silver cross

Thrown: Throat piercers
Weapon mh: Shadowfang (+15 agility)
Weapon oh: Assassin's blade (+15 agility)

Then u have a twink with maybe ~52 % dodge without talent and more than 35 % crit. Enjoy =)

I was looking at the quest for this item and some ones comments said that you now have to be 45th level to take the lucky fishing hat or nat pagle's boots as a reward, can anyone varify that?

I heard that the Lucky Fishing Hat was being nerfed, I was wondering if this was true?

Комментарий от closed

there is a bug with the fish loot when the "looting this item will bind it to you" comes up dont shift click the bobber or it will cancel the looting box. in meaning you cant catch any of the 3 rare fish because of it or it cancels and will go away make sure you dont hold shift for the quick loot system!

Комментарий от Corbon

Seriously, aiming for this hat at Lv 19 is kinda retarded, especially if you're on a PvP server. All you get is 70 HP compared to Green Goggles. On top of that, the hat is bop, which means that you must find an idiot to farm a book enchant (100 HP, etc) for you. Getting this hat as well as the shoes and the arena trinket is a colossal time sink. Just stick to your goggles and Feet of the Lynx.

Here are the fish rates of these rare fish...

0.25% - Keefer's Angelfish (Lucky Fishing hat)

0.23% - Brownell's Blue Striped Racer (Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots)

0.18% - Dezian Queenfish (High Test Eternium Fishing Line)

Hope these help (Dammit Keefer's your fish rate is 0.0025 for me :(, I won't kill you fishy...Ill just..Errm...Trade you for a hat?)

:)

Комментарий от 92734

I fished from 2pm - 4pm this sunday, and didnt get this rare fish or any else rare fish. Damn low drop rate.

Комментарий от Therax

Although the contest runs from 2:00-4:00pm, competition sharply drops after a winner is announced. If the goal for low-level toon is to get the Lucky Fishing Hat, cash from fishing or other prizes from rare fish, Consider starting around 2:30pm. It's a LOT easier.

All the competitors have gone home. No offended players will be dumping mobs onto your character. During the competition, a rogue with Vanish, or a Paladin with Divine Intervention can drop mobs on small fragile characters, at-will.

Why is there hostility vs. the level 19s?
To understand where this hostility comes from, watch the general channel, when the winner is announced. There are invariably several people who lament that they were within 1-2 fish. There is only one winner per week, claiming either the Hook of the Master Angler, or Arcanite Fishing Pole. Competition is intense.

It's acceptable to lose because someone else was better. However, people will feel cheated, when a little level 19 tag-along was underfoot, sneaking fish out from under them. Intensify this with the reigning opinion that level 19 battleground twinks are unethically exploiting the system. There's just as much satisfaction dropping a mob on a twink, as dropping one on a gold farmer.

Nice fishing spots for lowbies
When the contest is completed, the spawn points will largely be ignored by anyone else. The Troll island around (20, 24) has no hostile mobs. Its easily reachable from Westfall. The respawn rate is fairly quick.

Fly or swim down to Booty Bay. Set your hearthstone. Fly back to Westfall. Swim down the coast to the Troll island. Stay clear of the elite shark that roams around the deep water, surrounding the island.

Consider using Bright Baubles. They're low-cost, and will boost fishing skill by +75.

is there a fishing requirement to fish the fish you need to finish the quest or a level to fish in the lake/ocean

Комментарий от 97082

Here is my Experiences with this Fishing Contest.

I done this contest 7 months and 3 weeks for my twink. I now do it on my main from time to time.

What you need:

250 fishing (Minimum)
Fishing rod
Patience
Guard (If you're gonna attempt to get it on your twink)
Lures
Spaces for the fish

The contest:

This contest (Booty Bay Fishing Extravaganza) Is on Sunday Afternoon's 2 - 4 Gametime. Basically you will fish at spots Labeled as "School of Tastyfish" The actual contest is the first person to catch 40 Tastyfish and hand them in to Booty Bay is the Winner. To catch a rare fish (Keefer's Angelfish, Brownell's Blue Striped Racer and Dezian Queenfish) You must fish at the Tastyfish Pools i mentioned earlier. They are as i say 'Rare' As thier percentage to catch is 0.18 (Dezian Queenfish) to 0.25% (Keefer's Angelfish). Although this sounds extremely bad, most people can get them in thier first few attempts at the Contest.

Rewards:

Keefer's Angelfish - Lucky Fishing Hat
Brownell's Blue Striped Racer - Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots
Dezian Queenfish - High Test Eternium Fishing Line
Hook of the Master Angler - For handing in 40 Tastyfish First
Arcanite Fishing Pole - For Handing in 40 Tastyfish First

General Tips:

Always look at the spots you've already fished at. They can respawn very quickly sometimes

Get a high level if you're going to fish on your twink. If not you'll aggro alot of the times, which can waste alot of time.

Be friendly. If you lose the contest to someone else, don't start shouting at them, It aint going to help..You might win next Week

Set your hearthstone to Booty Bay. This can speed up the process of winning the contest.

That is roughly the fishing contest, Good Luck to everyone who tries it

I just started fishing for the first time today on my 19 twink.
Withing thirty minutes I had Keefer's Angelfish and Brownell's Blue Striped Racer.
So it's not impossible, just chance.

Комментарий от 115464

I got this and the boots on my first try during the Fishing Contest. Two tips that helped me is to bring like a level 45 or so and take the WEST Coast. Everybody (including the other faction gankers) patrol the East coast. The other tip is to take the ENTIRE 2 hours. A lot of people leave at 15 'till 4. You can get a lot of fish during those 15 minutes.

Комментарий от 20383

For all those characters that are level 70 and high level fishers!

THERE IS A NEW FISHING HAT IN 2.4!!!

Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
Binds when picked up
Head Cloth
101 Armor
+40 Spirit
+40 Stamina
Durability 50 / 50
Equip: Increased Fishing +5.
Use: Attach a lure to your equipped fishing pole, increasing Fishing by 75 for 10 min.
http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=33820
Note: The stats on this hat have changed several times already, and will prob change several more times before 2.4 is released. Originally was +94 stamina, but now more recently the +40 spirit/stam... I'd rather the +94 stam myself!

Personally I find this kickass. I hate being ganked when I'm in my fishing gear (I have full Tourny gear + glove enchant) because I lose sooo many stats... Atleast this way we get compensated with a ton of stam and spirit? Yeah sure =D

Comes as one of the many rare 'drop' from Bag of Fishing Treasures
http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=34863
Which is the reward from some of the several FISHING DAILY QUESTS that will come in 2.4!

This item is part of the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition. Which takes place every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 Server time.

These are the items that can be won if you are the first person to hand in 40 Speckled Tastyfish to Riggle Bassbait in Bootybay.
Arcanite Fishing Pole and Hook of the Master Angler.

Once someone has won the fishing competition, you can still hand in your remaining Speckled Tastyfish to Jang in Bootybay. (repeatable quest)

Here is a link to all the rare fish that can be caught during the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition and their drop chance (with thanks to Zubzubs's post on the Lucky Fishing Hat), plus the rewards you get when catching one and handing them in at the Fishbot 5000 in Bootybay

0.25% Keefer's Angelfish --> Lucky Fishing Hat
0.23% Brownell's Blue Striped Racer --> Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots

not sure about drop chance, 0% according to Thottbot. Rockhide Strongfish --> Dual wielding Fish Power!!

Also, isn't dropping mobs on players considered griefing and a reportable offense? After all the goal of most twinks is only to get the hat and boots really, not to actually win the contest, so why would people still want to drop mobs on them anyway unless they want to be @$$holes?

I noticed a few posts in this thread about how high fishing skill, with fishing accessories, is going to help them win this tournament. Note that higher skills do not help you attract more fish or catch more fish quicker. It just means that you can actually fish in an area and that some of the high end fish won't get away. The Tournament is set up so that if you have the skill to fish in STV, even if you have to use accessories (bait), you will be on equal footing with everyone else, no tasty fish will escape you. (Except for the aggroing mob issue for lower levels of course.)

In other words, if a player with fishing skill 50 is fishing in a noob fishing area with another player with skill 425, you will each be able to catch all the fish, and luck will determine how fast you catch them.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Every Sunday.
Server time 2pm to 4pm.
Ends in Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale (so make the inn your home)
Requires 40 Speckled Tasty Fish to win (prize is a +35 rod)
Also there are 3 special fish that can be turned in for +5 Line, +5 Hat, +5 Boots (all Soulbound)
If you dont win then 5 Speckled Tasty Fish sell for 23s. They can be sold for the hour after the competition runs. They dont keep...
Speckled Tasty Fish Pools appear all around the STV coast. Fishing them seems to be limited to 5 or so catches - then they disappear for a number of minutes. So early on there are lots of fishermen using the same pool you may find it disappears before your catch (i.e. wasted 30 seconds). Other annoyances are Mithril Chests, Strangleweed etc which you catch instead.
TTBOMK: To fish the sea you need 225 - that can be a 125 skill with a +100 attractor. Obviously you have to pay for them and apply them so a higher skill saves time. More chance of failing a catch, no catching etc with lower skills.
Also the coast is hostile, so lvl below 40 a liability and lvl 60 an advantage.
Shortest time I've seen is 29 mins, longest 50 mins for the winner (but keep going as 100 fish = 4g60s and you might get a special fish)
Remember to pack sandwiches and a drink to save you having to move from the PC.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Just an FYI - won the fishing tounament yesterday using no lures nor attractors of any kind and using the basic fishing pole (2-4 DPS) bought from vendor for pennies...i.e., my fishing skill was 300 (base lvl) for the duration of the tournament. My char is lvl 48 and was attacked once during the tournament by a Naga...had to swim out to sea until it retreated and I could safely return to shore. Moreover, hardly ever used my mount and didn't use any of the swim speed potions I had used in previous tournaments (to cross coves). Fishing Buddy mod disable as well, due to recent WOW system upgrades. Naturally, I was surprised to have won. I suspect the competition was light for yesterdays tournament. Just wanted to provide encouragement for the lesser equiped participants out there....and to boast a little.

Комментарий от Thottbot

After you catch the fish you turn it into the Fishbot 5000. The Fishbot is in Booty Bay right outside of the inn, he'll have a blue question mark over his head. On a side note: I can't wait to get this on my 19 hunter, I got the boots from the Fishbot, just need the hat....so much stamina. :)

Комментарий от Thottbot

In Stranglethorn Vale every sunday from server time 2PM - 4 PM, there is a fishing tournament. During the tournament, all around STV there will spawn schools of special fish called "Speckled Tastyfish".

The tournament is over when a player catches 40 fish and turns them in to the tournament master. The schools of fish still appear after someone wins the tournament, so you can fish for the full two hours.

However, winning the tournament is irrelevant. Getting the Lucky Fishing Hat is acheived only when, while fishing inside the circle of the Pool of Tastyfish, you catch a rare fish called "Keefer's Angelfish".

Upon catching the unique fish, go to Booty Bay and turn it in to the proper NPC. The NPC is mechanical, and *I think* has a blue question mark over his head.

There are three different rare fish you can possibly fish up. Each yield different rewards when turned in.

-One fish gives you an "Eternium Line" that you can attach to any fishing pole, permanently increasing Fishing by 5.

-One fish gives you cloth boots with +12 stamina and +5 fishing.

-And finally, the Keefer's Angelfish yields the Lucky Fishing Hat.

I have this hat on my level 19 twink, and, I can tell you, with an HP +100 Arcanum of Constitution enchant on it, it's a beast.

Check me out on Magtheridon, my name is Symbol and I'm a level 19 paladin.

Here's a shot of it in action:

As a (current) three-time winner of the STVFE, I feel that I have established a set of best practices for success in this tournament, and wanted to build an authoritative guide for the guild so that others can achieve the same level of success and reap the same rewards. The guide is broken out thusly:

1. Requirements and Recommendations

2. The Rules and The Realities

3. Best Practices

4. Rewards

5. Post tournament rewards

Requirements and Recommendations

It is a common misconception that this tournament can only be won by a level 60 player. Well I am here to tell you that this is most certainly NOT the case. The tournament is held in STV with good reason: the only requirement to compete in the tournament is that you are able to fish in the STV zone, which means that you must have a Fishing skill of no less than 150, making it possible for anyone able to survive the STV zone to have access to the tournament. However, the rewards of the initial competition do require higher levels of achievement (see the Rewards section for more details).

That stated, it is recommended that anyone entering the tournament to win be at least level 50 so as to not aggro the mobs that roam the coastline, and have a Fishing skill in the 225+ range to avoid the need for lures (lure application slows your cast rate). As a Horde player, we are also blessed with a distinct advantage in fishing pole selection, so it is wholeheartedly recommended that you complete the quest in the Hinterlands to get Nat Pagle�s Extreme Angler FC-5000, which gives a +25 to your Fishing skill. I also have a fishing enchant on a ratty pair of gloves, which gives an additional +2 to your skill. It may seem insignificant, but it could be the difference between a catch and a �Fish got away!�

Finally, and I cannot state this strenuously enough, you need a good fishing mod. There are two available out there right now, FishEase and TackleBox, and I personally prefer the latter. TackleBox has a very simple interface and includes the ability to turn on and off self-luring of your pole. It also adds an interface for swapping between your tackle (pole, glove, etc.) and your normal gear, which is pretty swank. Finally, TB is compatible with the Nat Pagle pole, whereas the last release of FishEase that I used was not.

Essentially what that means is that, with a fishing pole equipped, you only have to right- click to cast out rather than setting a hotkey, which is a MAJOR plus. Spend a little time pre-tournament fishing with this mod to familiarize yourself with the options available, notably FastCast and EasyCast. You will always want those two on, and they make a huge difference when you see your cast rate versus someone else in the tournament. If you have a high enough skill, leave EasyLure off, as it will just take time away from efficient casting.

The Rules and The Realities

The STVFE occurs every Sunday from 2pm � 4pm server time. At 2pm a yell will emanate from BB that the fishing tournament has begun, and swirl spawns will appear in the water, designated as �School of Tastyfish�. The locations of these spawns are static, but the spawns themselves will disappear after a designated number of fish caught, forcing contestants to not only be able to fish well, but be quick on their feet/horse. The object of the main tournament is to catch 40 Speckled Tastyfish from these pools and return them to Riggle Bassbait just outside of the inn in Booty Bay as quickly as possible. Be on the coast, at your fishing spot, with your pole in hand at 2pm or be prepared for a long uphill fight.

The realities of this tournament are thus: The main tournament will end no later than 40 minutes into the 2 hour fishing window. I have finished the tournament in times of roughly 37, 32, and 29 minutes each, and the Alliance players that have won in the past have typically done so in the 35-40 minute range. It is essential that you focus all of your energies on catching fish and being aware of where you are, how many fish you�ve caught from a pool, and where you will be going next. Having a fast horse and carrot really helps, and if you have a high enough skill in Fishing and have a pair of gloves with riding enchant on them, I recommend using them instead. If you are catching 1 or more fish per minute, you�re going to be competitive, and time between fishing holes increases as your mount speed decreases.

Best Practices

These are things that I have found to be successful guidelines when fishing the tourney, in no particular order.

1. Ancient Chinese Secret � Start the tournament on the east coast of STV, around location 41,58. There is a spot there where two tastyfish spawns appear within 30 yards of each other, and they usually spawn up simultaneously when the tournament begins. If no one else is around that�s a surefire way to get WAY ahead of the competition. In some cases you may even be able to fish the first spawn, move to the next, and by the time you�re done with the second the first pool will have respawned, making for Super-Happy- Fishing. There are a total of 5 spawn points right there on the coast, around the hill and in the ruins in the water. Make sure you scout the area a couple of days before the tournament begins, to ensure that you don�t give the spot away to someone else out there.

As the tournament progresses, you�ll slowly shift south down the coast to the areas where the pirates are, but make sure you work yourself both north and south from time to time, and try to run counter to the herd. If everyone is going north, go south and vice-versa. And if you have someone tailing you all the time, skip a pool and hit the next one, so that when you finish it before they do, you can get 1-2 fish up on the next pool down the coast before they get to it.

2. One is the loneliest (and happiest) number � The tastyfish spawns that appear along the coastline only contain about 4-5 drops each, and despawn once they have reached their limit, similar to mining nodes. If you are fishing a pool and have caught a few fish already when someone else shows up, finish your catch and move on to the next spawn. You only have a 50-50 chance to catch the last fish in the pool, and it�s up to 30 seconds wasted if you don�t. As a general rule, don�t fish pools that someone else is already at, as they could have fished it close to dry already; instead, find a fresh pool to hit and get maximum potential from each spawn. If you�re running behind and have to share a pool, do so with no more than 1 other person. Otherwise the spawn will go down quickly and you�ll still be left scrambling to make up time.

3. Good angles make good anglers � Many of the spawns that appear along the coastline are in shallow waters, some in cramped quarters along the shoreline that make casting difficult. I can�t count the number of �Your cast did not land in fishable water� messages that I�ve gotten when attempting to fish these wedge spots, and I find that many people just give up on them. The key is to position yourself so that you have the maximum amount of water in front of you as possible. Your cast will land in a cone roughly 35 degrees either way of plumb center of your character�s facing position, and outward roughly 30 yards. The spawns don�t go out that far, so as long as you have enough water on either side of you to cover those 70 degrees of cast angle, you should be fine. In some cases, though, even that isn�t enough to keep the error from appearing, and in those cases I recommend standing in the water itself, which in most cases will get you good casts. Don�t ask me why, I didn�t code the fishing program, I just bend it to my will.

4. Keep your enemies closer, but keep the fishing spawn away � Some of the fishing spawns on the coast are really close to the shore, while some others are somewhat far out in the water. Position yourself about 10-15 yards away from the spawn to get maximum cast potential, as your bobber has to land within the spawn to catch tastyfish. Given that the cast range of the pole is 30 yards, and the spawn is roughly 5 yards wide, putting the spawn in the center of that distribution will maximize the number of casts that land inside the pool. This advice runs counter in some instances to the advice given in item 3, but use your best judgment to decide which is going to be more advantageous in the given scenario.

5. Alignment is key to good posture and Feng Shui � I have been witness to many people who run up to a fishing spawn and, rather than take the time to line up directly with the spawn facing straight out, haphazardly line up at an angle to the beach and just start casting. This causes two problems: first, their angle sometimes lends to getting miscasts that land on the beach, which impacts their catch rate. Second, they increase their distance from the spawn versus someone aligned plumb, which puts the spawn outside of the sweet-spot. I have consistently beaten them in fish count in these pools, and it�s because I get better casts off. When you align yourself correctly with the pool, you can get much more consistent distance control before you cast out, you increase your cast angle probabilities, and you put yourself in better position for when the pool despawns to go in either direction.

6. If at first you don�t succeed, cast, cast again � This is where TackleBox comes into play. In order to catch tastyfish, your bobber has to land within the swirl of the spawn. Judge by the distance and angle of the line whether your bobber is going to be in that spot, and if not, just right-click again to recast. Keep doing this as quickly and efficiently as possible to maximize catch rate. Another thing to do to verify that you�re inside the swirl is to angle your camera top-down, which I�m sure most people know how to do by heart. The ability to win this tournament is far and away dictated by who can hit the swirl most effectively, and knowing your camera angles and understanding the distances and angles of your fishing line will greatly help you in that department.

7. Booty Bay may be a stone�s throw away, but set your stone for it anyway (hey, that rhymes) � It may seem insignificant, but running all the way through BB to get to Riggle may be just enough time for someone else to catch their 40 and stone back to the inn and beat you to him. Be absolutely sure your hearthstone is set for BB before you set out for your fishing spot, as it could be the difference between a good day and a really frustrating one.

8. Fish for rizzeal hizzere, fish for rizzares thizzeres � Once the tournament has concluded, don�t continue to fish the east coast. Inevitably some Alliance punk is going to show up to grief you (usually about 15 seconds after you win on the dock in BB), and you don�t want to give up any trade secrets, lest the detestable Alliance learn2fish more. Once the tournament is over most of the people who are just there to win the trinket will disappear, which will make the spawn availability much greater. Head over to the west coast and fish all the way from BB to Grom�Gol, although I don�t recommend going any further north than the river mouth to the south of GG. There�s a set of small island-ish rocks at one point along the way, and there are a couple of spawns that appear out near those rocks, so grab them if they�re up.

Rewards

The rewards for winning the tournament are thus:

Arcanite Fishing Pole � Requirement: Fishing (300) So you don�t have to be level 60 to use it, but you do have to have your fishing skill maxed.

Hook of the Master Angler � Requirement: Level 60 While you don�t have to be level 60 to compete in this tournament, you do have to be level 60 to use this baby. I�ve heard that it�s slower than Druid seal-form, but faster than the swim speed glove enchant. It�s not bad. I use it on long swims, but not for any quick jaunts across a river. The cooldown is pretty quick too.

Post tournament rewards

There are a few other rewards not mentioned above, both for competing in the tournament and for catching special �rare� fish. These rewards are not linked to the main event tournament, and you can continue to fish the coasts of STV until 4pm even after the main event has concluded. At 4pm another yell will sound out from BB signaling the end of the tournament, at which time the tastyfish spawns will disappear.

At any time you can turn your tastyfish haul in to the goblin next to Riggle Bassbait for monetary compensation, at the rate of 23 silver per 5 tastyfish. It�s one of those repeatable things, so you just have to keep clicking on her to get more money until you�re out of fish. If you have extras just toss em, since they�re soulbound and will just stink up your bags while they rot in there. They only have a lifespan of 4 hours, so you can�t save them for the next tournament (that wouldn�t be fair).

Also, there are special rare fish to be caught in the pools, which can be turned in to Fishbot 5000 next to Riggle for special fishing gear. The fish below can be turned in for the gear next to it:

Dezian Queenfish � High Test Eternium Fishing Line - Brownell's Blue Striped Racer � Nat Pagle�s Extreme Anglin� Boots Keefer's Angelfish � Lucky Fishing Hat

Each of these items adds an additional +5 to your Fishing skill. In all, with these items, the Arcanite Fishing Pole, and a pair of enchanted fishing gloves, you can achieve a Fishing skill of 352 without a lure! Put another way, you can fish the Plaguelands without a lure, which is just ludicrous.

I have reaped almost all of the rewards of this tournament, and I want to pass this information on to you. That sounded corny but w/e :P. Enjoy

Ok, I did these stats AGAIN, please upvote this post so it doesn't get deleted another time. Since people didn't seem to understand how I got these numbers before, I will explain them.

When thottbot tracks data, it does not (and probably cannot) record conditions such as if a fishing bobber was inside a tastyfish spawn. Therefore, it isn't possible to get a "droprate" for the fish. So, the only way to get a feel for how often the rare fish drop is to compare its data to that of tastyfish, since tastyfish are the only other item caught exclusively under the exact same conditions as the rare fish. Fortunately, we know the number of tastyfish that have been caught, as well as how many rare fish.

This logic would be flawed if, for example, tastyfish could be caught in the competition long before rare fish were added, therefore making the tastyfish seem more common. Since, to my knowledge, the rare fish always have been there since the competition started, we can simply divide the number of rare fish caught by the number of tastyfish. Note that this does not take into account the other items that can be fished from tastyfish spawns (stranglekelp, oily blackmouths, ect), so a more accurate description would be for any number of tastyfish caught, an average of x% will be rare, where x is the following:

Keefer's Angelfish: 0.25% (1 in every 400 tastyfish)

Dezien Queenfish: 0.22% (1 in every 450 tastyfish)

Brownell's Blue Striped Racer : 0.18% (1 in every 550 tastyfish)

ANY rare fish: 0.65% (1 in every 150 tastyfish)

So if you were to catch 100 tastyfish every Sunday (which is about how many I usually get), you would have a 22% chance to get the Angelfish, or a 48% chance to get any rare fish. The person above me had an 86% chance to get ANY rare fish, or a 53% chance to get an angelfish, assuming he got 300 fish total for the 3 weeks he fished. 14% chance to not get any rare fish is not BS or even that bad of luck. Personally, I've probably caught around 750-1000 tastyfish, and have found 3 x Dezien Queenfish. My chance of finding an angelfish with that many caught is somewhere around 90%. I shall keep on trying...

I don't see why Blizzard would make the droprates different for each individual fish, so we can probably assume that they share the same rate (The average is 0.22%). With this in mind, there is obviously a rather large margain of error for these rates. This is because there is very little data on thottbot for the fishing competition (only a total of 233 rare fish are recorded at this time). If you wish to help, run thottbot while you farm and upload your data.

U can find the fish all around in whole STV but i dont really know the best place to fish em for a lvl 10-19 just get a higher lvl to guard u so u dont get attacked. Make sure to pay him well cuz it can take a long time

Комментарий от Thottbot

On my lvl 19 twink, a good place to go is Yojamba Isle. It's inhabited by trolls, and you'll find it on the top left part of the map, above a bigger isle that has mobs on it. Do not go there. You will be safe there.

I won the hat yesterday...its pretty cool looking even though im a hunter, well i didn't take it off until i won the gladiator helm from BRD but i like wearing the hat to pick Blood Elf chicks in Orgrimmar. i gotta try for the pole or boots next week, and i can make the fish attractor

Комментарий от Thottbot

Personally I think Green Tinted Goggles is better than this now. The goggles are BoE which means you can send it to your main and enchant Glyph of the Defender on it (17 Dodge Rating and 15 Defense Rating), and I think at least for rogues 5 dodge is better than 7 stamina (17-12 since you probably have the 12 dodge libram (Libram of Protection) enchanted on the hat if u get it. Hunters can get the Cenarion Expedition glyph that gives 34 AP and 16 hit rating, theres also one with healing and mp5, and one with spelldmg and spell crit. (For druids twinks Glyph of the outcast, giving 17 strenght and intellect)

For further information on how to enchant the glyph for your twink, search Inscription of Warding, there is explained how to do it there.

And if the rumours that the Hat will get nerfed in the next patch, you don't even have to think about getting it anymore. Although I assume if they nerf it, I think people who already have it equipped will not lose it. And why would they nerf the hat and not the boots?

Eg,
Dunemaul (Alliance)

Ahh, Fishing! One of the most least understood professions in the game....yet one of the most useful! In this guide I'll be going through the various aspects of Fishing, it's uses and pretty much anything else you could possibly desire. If you want to know more about this powerful profession, I can recommend this eZine that contains World of Warcraft Expert Insights Information, Guides, Tips, Gold Strategies, Macro Tutorials and lots more.

So enough with the smalltalk, let's get started:
I have been fishing going on four days now. It was a pain at first, but got easier as I went along. Here is a list of progression. Even though I only did the Horde side, I researched all the Alliance crap too. Paladins cry enough as it is, I didn't want them to feel left out. I am working on cooking skill at the same time. Cooking and fishing, as most of you know, go very well together.

Starting out: Getting your fishing skill.

Horde Fishing (1-150)

Apprentice Fishing(1-75)

Armand Cromwell: In the Undercity. Outer circle, magic quarter, northeast.
Kah Mistrunner: Thunderbluff . Middle plateau, east section.
Lumak: Orgrimmar. Valley of Honor, at the pond.

Now you are set to get to a skill level of 75. You need to buy a fishing pole. Really cheap. If you want, you can buy bobber, lures, and other stuff that will allow you to artificially raise your fishing skill. So take that brand new fishing pole and go find a pond, lake, or ocean. No, your neighbor's swimming pool won't work, redneck.

NOTE: You can't fish in all bodies of water at a low skill. You will have to work your way up to them. If you try and fish in a body of water that is too high level for you, you will get a message saying something to the effect of "Goaway, you suck at fishing. Come back when you don't suck anymore". The best way of guaging whether you can fish or not is by looking around to see what kind of mobs are in the vicinity.

So you have fished your way up in skill. Time to go get that Journeyman rank. Not sure what the minimum skill required is (not too high, like 50), but skill level of 75 is sure to work. You can't go any higher than that anyway until you talk to a trainer.

Armand Cromwell: In the Undercity. Outer circle, magic quarter, northeast.
Kah Mistrunner: Thunderbluff . Middle plateau, east section.
Lumak: Orgrimmar. Valley of Honor, at the pond.

Yes, the same people you went to for your initial skill.

Alliance Fishing (1-150)

Apprentice (1-75)

Arnold Leland: Stormwind
Astaia: Darnassus
Grimnur Stonebrand: Ironforge
Harold Riggs: Wetlands
Matthew Hooper: Redridge Mountains

You goody goodies make me sick. You get 5 trainers. Anyway, get your fishing pole in hand, grab some beer and Cheetos, and lets go fishing. If you want, you can buy bobber, lures, and other stuff that will allow you to artificially raise your fishing skill. This will get you to a skill level of 75.

NOTE: You can't fish in all bodies of water at a low skill. You will have to work your way up to them. If you try and fish in a body of water that is too high level for you, you will get a message saying something to the effect of "Goaway, you suck at fishing. Come back when you don't suck anymore". The best way of guaging whether you can fish or not is by looking around to see what kind of mobs are in the vicinity.

So, ready for Journeyman yet? No? Then why are you reading this? Get back to fishing!

Journeyman Fishing (75-150)

Ready now? Ok great. Head back to one of the NPC's listed above. Get your Journeyman title. You can get it at a skill level lower than 75 if you wish, 50 or so. Once you have Journeyman you are set to make it to a skill level of 150.

Alliance/Horde Expert Fishing (150-225)

So you think you have reached Ahab status, eh? Think again.

Once you get high enough in skill, you need to head to Booty Bay and buy a book to get your skill cap raised from 150 to 225.

Note: you have to be level 20 and be willing to part with 1g to buy the book.

Go see Old Man Hemming. From him you will buy a copy of "Expert Fishing: The Bass and You". You can buy it whenever you want, but you won't be able to learn it until you have reached the appropriate skill level. It costs around 1 gold 35 silver, depending on your faction arrangement with Booty Bay.

Alliance/Horde Artisan Fishing (>225)

You mad mad slayer of fish you! You have managed to get up to skill level 225. Now what? Well now you need to boogy on down to Dustwallow Marsh. There you will find Nat Pagle (Tidefury Cove, on a rock in the bay, a Nat's ass SE of map dead center, HAHA I crack myself up. Nat's ass. Get it?). You must be LEVEL 40 to get the quest. Nat can be found at 58,59 Tidefury Cove

Pat is going to send you on a quest. He wants you to catch some fish for him. Yes, you have to catch them. No, you can't buy them, you lazy bastard.

Nat says:
Can't say I really enjoy fishin' much. Figure I been at it for a good 20 or 30 years now. I reckon people are driven to do what they do for different reasons. Now, I'm not saying you need to fish for 30 years or catch every fish in the sea to become a master fisherman. I reckon you just need to be determined - determined enough to sit on your duff for hours at a time, doin' nothin'. I'll tell you what, catch me a few rare fish and I'll teach you a thing or two. Here's a list:
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi from the Misty Reed Strand in the Swamp of Sorrows.

A Sar'theris Striker from the Sar'theris Strand in Desolace.

Feralas Ahi from the Verdantis River of Feralas.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin from the Savage Coast of Stranglethorn Vale.

Go get all that stuff, take it back to Nat, and POOF!, you are uber. Now go catch some fish.

I am hated with BB (Bloodsail admiral) and im wondering is it possible for me to hand in this fish to the npc? I understand that trying to get to the npc will get me killed a few times by the guards, but i can live with that - just need to know if this npc will talk to and give me the hat even with hated rep with BB.

(this thread is huge, did a search for most keywords i could think of and nothing showed up so i hope this hasnt been asked before)

Комментарий от Thottbot

do you need to get the fish for the lucky hat before everyone else or do you just need to finish before 4 and turn in before five?

Комментарий от Thottbot

So, big story short:

Every Sunday from 2pm to 4pm you can fish these "Keefer's Angelfishes"
from Tastyfish schools.
When you get this Keefer's Angelfish you bring it to Fishbot 5000 and he will give you Lucky Fishing Hat

Am I right?

Комментарий от Thottbot

i won mine today there are just no tactics for this to win you just need to be lucky....

so: if you are well prepared:
- find a nice spot
- get enough lures
-set your heartstone on Booty Bay
-some say bodyguard but i think that is rubbish because if you have found a good spot without mobs you dont need that..

and have some luck on your side i am 100% sure you will get your hat 2

Комментарий от Thottbot

Omg, Why Does everyone say that the max fishing skill for lvl 19 is 150? omg you can buy the recipe in booty bay fishing store so u can get to 225.. Anyway.. i got the Keefer's Anglefish after 25 min in my FIRST fishing torunement, i had the regular '' Fishing pole'' and 75+ Lure atached on it , amd 225 in skill, practised my fishing to 150 outside WC in the barrens to catch some deviate fishes , after that i went to AH andbrought recipe ofthe Savory Delight ..

Комментарий от Thottbot

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL YOU!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Not to annoy anybody but.. The fishing hat is not the best head twink item out there.. yes it gives a nice 150hp..

But for anybody that has a decently leveled higher char that is making a twink..

Get your twink 150 eng. and make green tinted goggles yes i know they only give 80 health and 7 spirit.

But if you get the 100hp attatchment for the goggles because it is BoE.. then this easily gives you 180hp and 7 spirit, may cost more.. but looks better + gives 30 more hp and 7 spirit.

Комментарий от Thottbot

im pretty sure you can put the 100hp enchant on the fishing hat u just have to put it in the item will not be traded box.

i might be wrong and if i am then u are correct and the flying tigger goggles are better. plus they are alot easier to get seeing as only one person gets the fishing hat a day and if u are lvl 19 then u have to try to avoid the mobs and beat the other ppl that are trying to get it

i just got this today on the forstwolf server, i had 150 fishing skill and +87 from the boots, glove enchant, fishing pole, and lure (bright baubles) it took me about 15 sundays of fishing to to get both the boots and the hat. heh wahts funny tho is both times when i got the rare fish, i was going to hearth in one or two minutes and felt like quitting. of those 15 sundays, i had protection form higher lvls TWICE. im lvl 19(pally). yeah ally are jerks i know, they sit and watch you die while they fish. ive had some cases where a hunter/lock wont ever take the mob off me when it doesnt even break the cast. but if you come to a pool where there i horde/ally/mobs just skip it, its not worth the time. for the newbies, the fishing contest is 2-4 on sunday in stranglethorn vale(150 fishing skill +lure needed to cath anthing). if you catch a rare fish you turn it in at booty bay to the fishmaster guy. also, the place i found my last my sundays to fish, 27,38, there is a little group of islands with no mobs and rarely anyone else fihsing on there. there are 2 tastyfish schools that spawn there, im not sure the respwan timer? 5 mins about i think. once you fish those up, you can walk up and sown the coast from there, and come back there a little later and re-fish those schools, rinse+repeat. also, i had some confusion when i started about somethings. to catch the tastyfish or any of the rare fish your bobber must be inside the tastyfish school. if its on ther edge and you cant decide, just recast,sometimes it get a tastyfish, sometimes it doesnt, its not worth the risk imo, just keep recasting. well hope this helps, im a happy little FC pally now 2k hp unbuffed! still need AGMs =P

Afaik these event does not have any LvL requirements, except you have to have enough fishing skill to fish in STV area.

I just got this today (4/29/07) and you CAN wear it. I was really lucky really, today was the first time I had tried to get it cause I just got 150 fishing yesterday, I got the fish on my 11th cast out. I was so psyched, I immediatly swam to BB and Turned in the quest. This is a great addon for 19 twinks, believe me.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Where did you fish for it?
Any certain places where you as lvl 19 could fish undisturbed by mobs?
And what fishing lvl is required?

I got two of these yesterday and I got them in half an hour :P Everyone was pissed at me. I just wish they weren't bind on pickup so I didnt have to sell my second hat at the vendor for 33 silver :s

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So am I right in thinking that this hat can no longer be obtained for a twink since it is a level 40 item? =( How sad......

How many Rare Fish spawn each tournament ? I'm assuming just 1 of each rare fish. Please reply

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is 1 of 3 items that are rewarded from catching a rare fish during the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Extravaganza. The event takes place every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 (server time).

Here are all 3 rare fish you can catch and the reward items they give.

Синий полосатик Браунелла rewards you with Небывалые рыбацкие сапоги Ната Пэгла +5 fishing
Рыба-ангел Кифера rewards you with Счастливая шляпа рыболова +5 fishing
Дезийская ставрида rewards you with Сверхпрочная этерниевая леска +5 fishing

For those that are curious and are wardrobe completionists like me, you can still catch these green quality fish after the tournament ends on live. Since they changed the Tasty Fish to quest items your catches after the winners have been made tend to all be nothing, but are in fact just the tasty fish that can no longer be collected. The green hand in fish, however, do still drop in the catch window if you're lucky enough to catch them, so you have until the 4pm cut off every week to try and get those missing wardrobe skins.
