[Fishing] Catch Cata fish/Volatile Water

[coronaman]

Confirmed working off the coast of Vashj'ir, coordinates 37.58, 59.51. I got there by starting off the coast of Dun Morogh, around 01.00, 20.00.

Nice! The border seems to be around coord 84.3, any further west than that and I've gotten ported. Been able to fish up Murglefish and Algaefin rockfish. Scary part is when huge ass Whale Shark - NPC - World of Warcraft swims by your cursor and you target a boss with 9.7 mil hp. Got closer to him using Crashin' Thrashin' Racer (also handy to find border) and snapped a screen, THAT'S A HUUUUGE FISH!

Doesn't work for me at EU server anymore. I haven't updated my acc to cata yet tho.

Edit: I was at the wrong spot will go back and check again..

I been catching these in Uldum waters. What I do is go to southern Tanaris coast (Lands End Beach 41, 87), equip water walking and go to edge of Tanaris waters and cast into Uldum waters. Also been catching:
Fathom Eel - Item - World of Warcraft makes Skewered Eel - Spell - World of Warcraft
Volatile Water - Item - World of Warcraft new cata profession mat
Murglesnout - Item - World of Warcraft no current use yet

Can you get there without flyhack * not familiar with it at all *

Absolutely, I just ran mounted through the fatigue. If you start around 1,20 on the coast you'll make it just fine... but stop before 37.58, 59.51 or you'll hit the port wall.

any nearer than those coordinates on my map and you get ported to a little hut where some Booty Bay fisherman is...

That little hut is the infamous Newman's Landing. So glad to see it survived the sundering.

So basically as far as I know as of right now you can't catch any Lavascale Catfish, Highland Guppy, Blood Shrimp(not fishable I think) or Giant Turtle Tongue(not fishable I think) which u need to get from 490 to 500 cooking skill :S

You could try your luck with Crate of Meat from the cooking daily. It only requires level 1 cooking to do so you can do it on alts too.

seems to be fixt, just get empty catches now.

I think they took the 3 fish primary to cata early cooking and removed them from the game or made them not lootable, it seems to explain the empty catches from the areas around highlands where you could fish them.

I suspect this would make crates of fish useless too, save your tokens till cata if thats your goal.

Seen soooo many of these new fish on AH the 2 past days. ****ing morons.

[frozenthorn]

Can you confirm what drops in that area?

Uldum > Deepsea Sagefish, Murglesnout, Fathom Eel, Volatile Water
Hyjal > Sharptooth, Striped Lurker, Mountain Trout, Volatile Water
Vashj'ir > ???

Got a chance to head out there, can confirm only 2 fish dropping at Vashj'ir, and I didn't get any Volatile Water.

So as of right now, this seems to be all we can farm by fishing, aside from the Waters not much of real value though.

Uldum > Deepsea Sagefish, Murglesnout, Fathom Eel, Volatile Water
Hyjal > Sharptooth, Striped Lurker, Mountain Trout, Volatile Water
Vashj'ir > Murglesnout, Algaefin Rockfish, ?????
Twilight Highlands > Nothing at all, empty loots everywhere in range.

Also just to note, that area where you are ported to if you get too close to Vashj'ir will rape you if you are not in good standing with the Steamwindle Cartel, 2 85 elites reside there to guard the fishing captain and they hurt like a MOFO even on a 277 geared plate character.

Has anyone tried to get outside of Tol Barad and see if they can get there to do any fishing? Would be interesting to see if it's possible.

BTW I've been fishing this for about 12 hours now in Uldum with the Pirox bot (premium access, but not required for the fishbot) and I've gotten about 200 volatile waters, 900 Murglesnout, 250 Fathom Eel, and 550 Deepsea Sagefish with a bunch of grey crap that I auto destroy with loot filter.

Anyone confirm they still work? been catching junk rarely, but most of the time i just flat out don't get a loot window from the fishing.

*edit* unless the "account flagged for cata" means the ability to make goblin/worgen type flagged for cata, i shouldn't have problems doing it, made the mistake of doing the digital purchase of cata anyways

Tried, and Tol Barad isn't there, I was in the middle of where it's supposed to be on the map but there was nothing there but ocean and I eventually just died from fatigue.

So it's likely completely phased until the 7th or something.

Tried the same, they said it would be a phased thing like most pvp zones, if you manage to get to one without being in the "instance" you find there is really nothing there.

Is this still working?
