Kunark Zones and Ocean of Tears

It seems these zones were largely unaffected and had both Fresh Fish and Zone-specific fish after the Mar2001 patch as before. The exception may have been zones where an additional unique fish was added.

FV Fishing Trip (Fetid Bass Findings)

I burnt through 7 stacks of bait in FV yesterday at skill 168-175, and thought I'd post what I found about the fish there.

It looks like there's one fetid bass there for every weight from 0.1-2.5, plus the rare Fresh Fish and that No Drop fish (Sewer Catfish?). The tiny, large and giant Fetid Bass were much less common for me than the others. About 15% of my catch were feast-classed fish.

Re: Broken poles at higher skill level

I fished lastnight for about 5 hours while auctioning. I was able to catch:

194 Fresh Fish
21 Danak Grouper
4 Ruined Sandel thingies
2 Rusty Daggers
2 Fish Scales

Then my rod broke. It seems like fishing is based on rolls. It's a set delay. You have the chance to:

Very Bad Roll - Break your rod
Bad Roll - Lose your bait
Low Roll - Spill your beer and not catch anything
Medium Roll - You caught something (Scales, Daggers, Sandels)
Average Roll - Fresh Fish
High Roll - Zone Specific Fish

My skill is maxed at 200. I rarely break a pole, but sometimes I break them quite often. I blame it on low rolls. It's just like when you're a master of baking and fail on a low trivial item. As your skill increases, poles breaking happens less and less.

What do i get at (200) fishing skill?

I am assuming the skill max for fishing is 200, if not, assume my question
means the highest skill for fishing.

I just recently started fishing, and got my skill to (9), and i seem to catch
something 1 out of every 5-10 casts. Im curious, i caught rusty daggers, fish,
somethin called timorous tuna, not worth much, but cool to get for free.

My question is, what kind of things do you catch if your skill is the highest u
can get in fishing? Thanx

Re: New Fish Found

In COM you can also catch fogwater trout.

Re: New Fish Found

Doh, Nannek beat me to it. Spent some time in City of Mist today fishing while waiting for a raid that never happened [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The other fish in the zone is indeed Ikfish (can remove the spelling question mark on the zone specific fishing chart).

From the early fishing page at Allakhazam, we see Ikfish fishable in CoM from Kunark release. This poster's phrasing suggests only two fish in the zone. The addition of the Fogwater Trout may have replaced the Fresh Fish.

Well drat. I posted this on the topic about recipes using special fish and a skinning knife in a tackle box. It also applies here. This is what I got from "skinning" the fish I caught.

My results from tonight (some are repeted entries):

Gunthak Macherel (from Ocean of Tears) - 5 bait
Fresh fish (1, 2, and 3 of them) - nada
Rivervale Trout (from Rivervale. 1, 2 and 3) - nada
Stonefish (from Butcherblock. 1, 2 and 3) - nada
Timorous Tuna (from Timorous Deep. 1 and 2) - nada
Despair Chub (from Swamp of No Hope. 1 and 2) - nada
Bloodfin Trout (from Lake of Ill Omen. 1, 2 and 3) - nada
Evergreen Salmon (from Warslik's Woods) - 2 fish eggs and 2 scales

In Lake of Ill Omen, Butcherblock and Swamp of No Hope I never caught fresh fish.

After 10 attempts at fishing in the ocean on the north shore of the Field of Bone and the Overthere I caught only fresh fish.

The above would suggest that Ocean of Tears, Timorous Deep, and Warslik's Woods did produce Fresh Fish.

I was fishing in the Swamp of no hope (skill of 130) when i realized i wasn't catching a single fresh fish. Instead i was catching a dispair cod and the krup guppy. has all fresh fish left the swamp?

This reads as if Krup Guppy and Fresh Fish were fishable prior to Mar2001. The Despair Chub then replaced the Fresh Fish with the patch.

There is some question about Nurga. We see the Cave Guppy being added early on, with the Sponge Mushroom added later. I'm not sure if the mushroom replaced Fresh Fish or not.
