This is the quest completed by the first person to win the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby each week. Like the Booty Bay contest, there is a quest for winning, and a quest for all the later anglers ("Better Luck Next Time"). And you don't take either quest until you have the catch.

The contest (currently) starts 14:00 Saturday. Simply fish pools (schools) in Northrend until you catch a Blacktip Shark. Technically found anywhere Pygmy Suckerfish can be caught, but the catch rate is higher from pools (possibly except Glassfin Minnow Schools). Then turn in to Elder Clearwater in Dalaran. If you are the first, you can choose between an heirloom ring (with 5% experience bonus) or a pair of fishing boots (+15 skill, with a daily teleport to Booty Bay).(##RESPBREAK##)258##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

This is amazing for all the Bloodsail Admirals that wanted the Salty title! YAY!

Comentado por 35894

This is preemptive. I know some people think this will, “...make the Salty title harder to obtain...” because of the heirloom ring, but I love this idea. I believe that Blizzard did this for 2 reasons: to level the playing field for the salty title and to potentially reduce the burden on anglers during the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.

As it stood before, some servers, especially PvP, became cesspools of poor sportsmanship during the STV tourney. In order to win, some people have posses that bobber hop faction mates with kodos, open trade windows, and run up and down the coast ganking whoever from the opposing faction may be in sight, not to mention having a couple of well geared Bloodsail Admirals run to Booty Bay to create mass hysteria, killing the quest guy. I understand that ganking is all part and partial to rolling on a PvP server; you signed up for it when you agreed to go swimming in the shark tank. I myself am guilty of this on behalf of guildmates. When other groups do that, you have no choice if you want to win but to resort to the same tactics (much on the order of a nuclear arms race), and I’m sure Blizzard has realized that this detracts from the WoW experience and leaves a bad taste in some people’s mouths.

With this tournament, it’s next to impossible for any single group to decide who the winner will be since the playing field is spread out over the entirety of a new continent. You cannot cover all of the fishing holes sufficiently to guarantee that no one else has a decent chance, so anyone who has one level 80 has as good a shot as anyone else given proper preparedness.

The institution of the tournament doubles the number of people who can earn the Salty title in a year. This means all those achievement @#$%^s who might foul up the STV tourney have two chances to earn the achievement per week and don’t necessarily have to resort to the aforementioned game stratagem. With more people earning the title this way, this should alleviate some of the burden on the original tourney, balancing out gameplay.

Yes, there is a vanilla item offered; big deal. Some people are going to fish only for that, true. It doesn’t matter. There are twice as many chances to show everyone who sees you how much you love fishing by displaying your hard earned title, and this guarantees that the title is still hard earned, not simply given away. You may down rate me for trying too hard, but a logic failure on your part doesn’t not make you an idiot. I know I have a double negative – it was intentional.

Is it true you require now no level of any type to fish in the pools?. Like, any lv 1 fishing skill can fish up around and get the shark?-.

~~The official patch says this is on Wed 8pm but right now it is 8:30pm server time but I don't see the npc Elder Clearwater spawning at the Eventide spring.~~

Edited, it is on 2pm Saturday.
It actually starts at my server time 1:58pm, the NPC yells out. And at 2:05 someone won it!

Be prepare for it, this could be very serious competition:
I stone my mage at camp winterhoof, howling fjord. And I see a few people camping fishing pool when time close, thinking of how many people want the ring!
I kept fishing until 2:20, I didn't get the shark, got a few suckerfish.
I have 450 fishing + 30 from the kulak fishing pole, I am not sure if higher fishing skill will actually work better.

Good luck.

I was the frst winner on Thrall server, yesterday. I fished in the body of water between Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills. I had fish finder on, I have the epic fishing pole, and I used a glow worm bait just in case. I have a 310% flying mount, and as a hunter I do have a movement bonus. Other than that, I think it was luck. I got the shark on my second pool. I have the port to Dalaran from the ring and I used that instead of hearthing because it is closer to the fountain, and then I just ran. I was shocked to be the winner, and the whole thing was over in 11 minutes.

I hope people find this helpful.

I just won it yesterday on Drenden. Got very lucky, catching the shark on the 17th cast in pools around Scholzar Basin.

Had an action bar consisting of CAST, HEARTH, MOUNT.

Crusader Aura active at all times, Ka'luak Pole, Fishing hat, boots, +100 lure, and water walking. I was astonished to learn that I did win this, and my guild congratulated me on the achievment, and now I have a new ring to level an alt with!

Comentado por GrayFox9420

Is it possible to run this quest twice? Both rewards look pretty neat

Comentado por Killgore9998

I have two questions about this, neither of which anyone seems to have answered yet.

1) Is there a quest that you need to pick up in order to be eligible to fish up the shark? (I believe the answer is no, but I would hate to be ineligible without even realizing it)

2) The NPC that yells the announcement that the contest is starting is located in Dalaran. So, presumably, if you want to maximize your chance of winning, you won't hear the announcement, because you're already at a pool somewhere starting to cast. The announcement doesn't echo through all of northrend, does it? How is it possible that some people here posted that they won AFTER hearing the announcement in Dalaran and then traveling to the nearest fishing spot (which would probably take at least a couple minutes of precious time), unless they were just incredibly lucky for having no one else (with any brains) to compete with?

Comentado por 64303

Entirely luck based. No matter your fishing skill (could be 1), no matter your speed, where you fish or how you fish. Any water (pool or no) that can drop pygmy suckerfish can yield a shark. Pools drop pygmy more, so pools are your best bet for a shark. However, if you want, you can camp in one spot and fish open water and still have a shot at winning.

Comentado por MrFix3

Couple of tips to win this contest:

- Have water walking elixirs so you can easily fish any pool without aggroing mobs on the shore. This helps along the coast of Borean Tundra (for example).

- Initially I thought I'd be sly and fish out by the pools in the Frozen Sea (where you get the Bloated Mosterbelly for the fishing daily) off the coast of Borean Tundra. However, I noticed that I did not get the announcement of the start of the tournament in my chat window, so I suspect that maybe this area may not have the shark in pools. I fished about five or six pools before getting paranoid and heading in to the coast.

- Even with this late start (about 3 mins into the contest) I fished up the shark in about another two minutes. I immediately portaled back to Dalran (Kirin Tor ring) and ran to the quest giver...beat the next person by about five seconds. So although this contest ends really quickly, don't give up until you hear the announcement that there is a winner.

Hope this helps with your attempts to win this contest.

Either I'm very unlucky or once a winner is announced it is not possible to obtain a Blacktip Shark. Spent over half a hour fishing Fangtooh pools, and nothing. This is after an initial 10 minutes in Grizzly Hills.

Comentado por Aenonar

Didn't get any winner yell nor the ending yell when I were fishing in the frozen sea, out by the icebergs in Borean Tundra, wasted an hour thinking I still had a chance at winning.

Didn't find any shark either, even with over 300 fishes caught in pools... Had some problems with the elixir of water walking out there as well for some reason, it only worked temporarily on very few "points" in the water, not at all like shamans water walk or priests levitate works.. Could barely use it as an emergency mount up if I had slipped off the iceberg or something, could definitely not use it for fishing there. Would continuously just drop down into the water again after a while, if I managed to find a "hard" point in the water. Really odd.

Won this today - flew from my VoA raid to scholazar basin 5 mins after the comp had started.. put on my hat fishing lure and fished it up on my first cast :D

Hearthed and beat a Night Elf that came to hand in a split second after me.. Also got my last 40 Kalu'ak rep to ding exalted and grabbed my rod to go with my new boots. A good day all in all :)

*downrated lol? Back in 3.3 when this was posted it was something to be proud of.. don't see why people in 4.3 are downvoting. Jealous much?

2) The NPC's yelling can be heard all over the Northrend, so simply stay at a pool when the time is close, you will hear it, for sure!

Except in "The Frozen Sea"...
However, there are no Pools in The Frozen Sea, so eventhough Suckerfish does drop from there, the chance of catching the shark, is minimized..

Comentado por Silvertale

This contest seems like complete bull to me. Every time now, I've been constantly fishing in pools in Grizzly Hills/Howling Fjord for about half an hour without ever seeing a shark.

The winner is usually announced within the first 5 minutes of the contest. It just feels really frustrating when people seem to get it so easily, and I don't even see a hint of it in 30 minutes.

Is there any amount of fishing skill that you need to fish it up or something? I use a lure, pole and hat that brings my skill up to 585... So I'm starting to wonder if I need 600 skill or more to fish it up.

Comentado por weirdunclebob

Annoyingly, if I'd been alliance, I would've won this today as my hearthstone would've taken me to the alliance inn in Dalaran which is much closer to Elder Clearwater than the horde inn. As I was clicking the complete quest button, some alliance angler won the comp. Small (no doubt unintentional) bias toward the alliance. Grr. >=(

I just won on my second week in about 4 to 5 minutes. I was fishing in the lake west of Camp Winterhoof. The lake itself had around 6 or 7 pools. I ran out of pools and followed the east-most river down to the middle portion of the zone, fishing pools along the way. The place was empty and had minimal travel time. Good luck.

Last week i won the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby and i would like to share my experience.

I've been hunting this achievement for at least 5 months. I did all the preparation mentioned here and in other various sites, but i had no luck with Booty Bay fishing contest. The reason was that the place was small, always full of people, and there was too much pvp activity. My best catch before a winner was announced, was 33/40 fishes and my worst only 20/40 fishes. Also there were always players of both factions covering the quest giver, so even if you had 40/40 fishes, it was impossible to turn in the quest without attacking an opposing faction player. So, after about 7-8 attempts i stopped doing the contest.

When new patch went live i decided to participate on the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby. Having done all the other fishing achievements, i knew the best places of pools in Northend and how fast they re-spawn. By far the best place with pools and really nice re-spawn time, is the place around Skorn in Howling Fjord. This was the place that i fished the turtle and the dark herring. But i didn't go there to try my luck, because i knew that this place is well known by most of the players hunting fishing achievements, and it would be full.

So i tried the second best place with fishing pools which is Sholazar Basin. The best place in there, with many pools and good re-spawn time is the lake at (38,38), but again it didn't go fish there because it had many people. So i picked an empty spot at The Lost lands at (68,42) and made the route as seen on the map. Around these pins there is at least one pool assuming that no other has fished recently.

I managed to catch the shark, on my 5th attempt on the contest, and on my 15th cast, which was the 4th pool that i fished in, and it was around (58,55). The time from the beginning of the event until turn in, was 6:30-7 mins. So if you are the lucky one, you won't need more than 4-5 pools. Also make sure your hearthstone is not at CD. On my last cast, i found out that mine had 2 more mins on CD. I hot-keyed the Kirin Tor ring while i was attempting my last cast, and to my surprise a few seconds later i got the shark. I teleport to Dalaran, mount on my chopper and run like hell to the quest giver. At that time i see another player there, but as it turned out he was just curious of the new quest giver.

The preparation i did is the usual:

PVP gear/fully buffed just in case a player from the opposing faction attacks you.
Hot-key all the necessary things you need (fishing pole, flying mount, ground mount, water walking potions, hearthstone, Kirin Tor ring, Potions for extra fishing skill),
As a Paladin i had Crusader Aura on.
When you land near a fishing pool, try to land on ground instead of water, because the water walking potion isn't working all the times. Also try to be on the side where you can see the fishing pool better.
Wear headphones to listen the sounds better.
Make sure that your hearthstone/Kirin Tor Ring is NOT on CD.
Disable addons. This way the Dalaran loading screen will be quicker.
Make sure you have decided which reward you want from the quest giver at Dalaran.
Success (?)

I hope all these helps you winning the Kalu'ak fishing derby, and the Salty title.

I was lucky enough to just win today's Fishing Derby.

Although this event is completely based around an RNG, if you're persistent then your chance should come sooner or later. I've been fishing for this every Saturday since the event came out and the vast majority of the time would fish for 45 minutes - 1 hour and never even see the shark, today it showed up in a Nettlefish School in Sholazar at 2:04 PM.

As others have said, location and skill are not a factor. As long as the pools drop the pygmy suckerfish you should be good anywhere in Northrend. I did have 450 fishing with +40 skill from gear, but as other posters have stated above this is entirely unnecessary.

Comentado por 541018

I have to admit I was quite disappointed by this quest. I am a Salty title holder shortly after the release of WotLK, and have just come back to the game after a 6 month break. Winning or losing this event isn't really one of those "ruin my day kind of things", just exceptionally unsatisfying.

I tried the quest for the first time not 20 minutes ago, and by 2:01 server time a winner was already announced. At that point I asked myself, "Well done Blizzard. While I am happy you have given people a better chance at doing an exceptionally hard to obtain Achievement, you took any little measure of skill out of it."

I will have to admit, I didn't earn my title on a PvP server. Honestly, I think you have to be somewhat crazy to have tried to even do this on a PvP server when there was only the STV event. However, even on a PvE server there's quite a bit of competition, and catching those 40 fish took a little planning and effort.

Things like having the correct level of fishing skill, taking a little time and effort to know where the fishing holes spawn, bringing some water walking pots for that extra edge, reading the flow of the crowd and working in the opposite direction. Catching those 40 fish wasn't easy at all, and it was by far the most rewarding thing I've done in this game when I handed in the quest and it announced to the zone I was a winner.

So now we have the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby. From what I saw today, it basically boils down to: Who is the luckiest SOB on your server?

At the very least they need to up the number of fish you have to catch, and force you to do a tad more than beat the RNG. I'm absolutely cool with opening the entirety of Northrend to the event, it makes sense especially in light of people on PvP servers, but I wish Blizzard would at least throw a little thought into making it skillful, even if it's only slight.

I'm about to try this new tourney for the first time tomorrow as it is the last achiev req. for my salty title. Thx for all the tips. Also after reading through all this I think that Bojyoko might just be on to something. I'm not afraid of a bit of a challenge, some skill should be required, even if its just strategical skill that comes into play.
So you have to catch a shark for this one huh? Spawns anywhere that pygmy suckerfish are caught? How about making us catch 2 things.. Lets say the shark is one and something else that doesnt spawn from the same kind of pools? How about a penguin? The catch to this could be that it much be netted anywhere that Iceburgs are found. The net could be obtained from the quest giver in Dalaran before the tourney starts and can only be used from 2 o'clock server time until a winner has been announced. Just food for thought.

As of patch 3.3.2 14:04 on Eonar (6th march 2010) i won the derby on my lvl 72 druid.

So i guess anyone who can fish in Northrend can do this. Just a matter of luck, not skill. :)

I won the derby at my first attempt today. I delivered the quest at 14:06 realm time.
- Most important thing is to decide a fishing route in your mind before the derby begins. Check the area for other fishers and change your route before derby if necessary. If you don't have find fish ability go for the fishing daily given by Old Man Barlo.
- Every second counts so consider every advice above, those helped me a lot.
- I got lots of whispers when I delivered, it seems I won by a few seconds differ. So if you are in a high populated realm get every kind of help that makes you faster. Trinket, potion etc. I used my rocket boots when I reached to Dalaran.
- Bring a friend with you if you think you can't handle a pvp encounter.

Good luck, you will definitely need it.

I won it today. I don't know if anyone else was close behind me, but the entire time I was fishing I had a warlock summon riding on me, and as soon as I fished up the shark I took it.

I multibox, so I had a team of 3 camping out in the Glorious Goods shop next to the fountain with a summon stone up full-time, refreshing it the instant it went down. So I saved both the 10 seconds to hearth back, and the run from the inn where my hearth was set (I play horde, so it's a ways).

I know not everyone multiboxes, but with a large enough guild you should be able to find a friendly warlock and 2 other people to roll summons on you and your guildmates as you do the event.

I just won the derby on my first time trying it! I have tried the STV one a number of times but never came close, and usually just got into fights with idiots.

The boots looked nice, but my main is 74 since I quit a while back and just returned, and I have many alts, so I went with the ring. I'll definitely try again for the boots. Sundays are harder, schedule-wise, I doubt I'll ever get the STV win.

edit- the rep reward is 5000 with the Kalu'ak, not 250,000. I was hoping to be auto-exalted, but 5k is still nice since I have a few more days of rep quests to finish. Brings me down to about 6 days instead of 8.

If anyone is wondering, my character is 74 with 430 fishing and a total of +100 from bait, hat and pole.

Won this derby today and got myself the boa ring. I scouted out the lake south of fort wildervar in howling fjord and found nobody there 5 minutes before the contest started, so I got my fishing rod on standby as I waited for the contest to begin. After 15 casts (about 5 fangtooth herring pools), I got the shark and proceeded to hearth to the alliance inn in dalaran. My computer is decent enough so that I didn't really need to bother lowering my graphics settings to make the load bar faster as it loaded pretty much instantly, at which point I immediately blew my nitro boosts and ran like hell to elder clearwater and frantically clicked on the ring reward. I beat the guy in 2nd place by about 10 seconds. I might also add that this was my 2nd time ever doing any of the fishing contests, the first being the previous week where I spent a half hour fishing in the same spot and didn't get a shark at all.

Managed to win this kind of on accident while farming for Musselback Sculpin in Borean Tundra.

There is a very nice area for MS just NE of Warsong Hold, I usually go there to farm my fish feast mats. Area is usually empty but slightly before the derby started about 6 people arrived to fish the pools for the shark. I simply flew off and looked for other sculpin pools to fish out of.

You can find some slightly scattered around the area west of the Lake mentioned above, along the coast line. It was fishing in these pools that I caught the shark, about 6 minutes into the derby. I was a little surprised and used my hearth to return to Dalaran. I chose the boots as a reward as I very rarely play Alts anymore and I think they will be of more use when Cataclysm hits with raising my fishing skill and maybe getting whatever new treats they intend to put in.

Just a reminder to you all, its not always the busiest spot that will catch the winning fish.

While I wouldn't suggest picking up engineering solely for that item, my main fisher is also an engineer already, so I made a macro to put those on and use my Kirin Tor ring. If I ever catch a shark, that is.

Comentado por 597970

Totally luck based, no skill involved. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than getting a damn shark. Not worth the time, in my opinion. And you can bet someone who has already won at least once before and doesn't need any of the rewards somehow wins it again just to be a jerk.

Just want to reiterate that you do NOT need to have max level fishing to get this. All you need is RNG on your side.

Got the shark today and I'm at level 354 fishing using this pole and glow worms.

Sure the pole and the bait helped, but how else are you going to go fishing? Wish them into your bags? ;)

Edit: For inquiring minds at where I got mine, I fished the Nettlefish pools north of River's Heart between The Maker's Perch and The Glimmering Pillar in Sholazar Basin.

Hope this helps other aspiring anglers. Good luck!

I really wish they would add some special prize fish to the menu of this contest as they have in the Strangelthorn tournament. Because, honestly it usually ends within about 5 minutes then there is no joy or point in continuing with it.

on my server. darrowmere, someone always wins at exactly 9 mins after the thing begins.. ive been doing this contest almost every week for about a year and it is unbelievable how predictable this is - 9 mins..

probably no sharks spawn until 5 mins after contest begins, and when they do spawn, someone catches one immediately and takes 4 mins to get back to dalaran.

i have never won this contest. the closest i got was catching a shark and teleporting back to dalaran only to lose just as i had begun running to the elder clearwater.

I tried the derby today for the first time. Here is what happened... I checked dalaran and saw the NPC there so I went to Howling Ford and waited for the start. I'm waiting and at 1401 still did not get the notice to start fishing. Then, all of a sudden my server time switched from 1401 to 1601! My server was two hours ahead of my local time before the switch. I used my ring to go back to Dalaran and the NPC was gone. Anyone ever have their server time switch before? Also, I was questing all day and my server switched back again to the original 2 hour difference. How am I supposed to do these timed events if this happens? My server is Muradin, supposed to be CST, which is a four hour difference from me, but now it's showing PST...a two hour difference.

I did this for the first time today.. and won after 7 minutes at Blue Sky Logging Grounds in Grizzly Hills. Noone else about and sheer good luck!

There really is no skill involved or much you can do to better your chances.

Good luck!

We won the Eye of the storm as horde, when we were requeueing for another one, i realized time is 13:59.
And remembered, i was prepared myself for today for this competition, did tons of researches etc.
But i forget and i was in BG till 13:59... I still tought i had a chance, used my kirin tor ring, then i realized i lost 30 min cd on it.
Made horde inn my new heartstone location, it was the time when its yelled for competition.

Typed few ./who, (grizz, dragon (which lend me tons of names cuz of dragon soul), shol) and there were only 1 person at sholazar. So i started to flying to sholazar basin. 14:02

When i was over wintergrasp, it called me for battle, i tried to press nothing, i was close to sholazar, didnt want to fly higher cuz it was already a "basin". When queue timer went 0, it ported me to southest corner of wintergrasp. 14:03.

i was swearing during that time, i cant even translate to english. Anyways, i flied to nearest coast, and there were no pool at all (between dragonblight and borean tundra) headed to west to borean tundra, saw few imperial schools. Finally Started fishing 14:04. First school depleted and nothing, second school depleted and nothing, when i was at third, i casted fishing, but buble went to offside of the pool, i recasted for 3-4 times, it usually end up in pool after 3-4 cast but this time it didnt. I waited anyways, and bam, shark was there!

Basically, i was incredibly lucky even those in realy bad situations, i caught it only at 8th successful cast! Now i have my own heirloom ring, and my toon's ofc. :)

ps:sorry for grammar and lang problems, its not my native language. I was so happy and wanted to share my experience with you. Have good luck!

So I just won the contest and have some Advice.
1. Have a means of getting back to Dalaran quickly because I won by a split second and you don't want to waste precious flight time. Either set your hearth to there or use one of the rings they sell in the Jewelcrafting store.
2. You don't have to fish from school. I caught my shark from a stream in Grizzly Hills
3. Have a guild or friend stand by the turn-in manand have them summon you right there. You won't lose the fish (thats what I did).
4. Keep all fishing gear on and the rest be PvP gear because some people have their friends take out some of the competition
5. Remember to not be picky with your reward. If you take too long to choose someone can come in and take the achievement away.
6. Be settled when the contest starts. It's a pain in the butt to have to settle in some random spot and find out that many mobs are in the area or other people are nearbye.
7. KEEP TRYING! The competition is every weekend if you don't get it on Saturday just wait till next weekend or head down to Booty Bay.

This not available any more, Since 01:00 PM server time and I am waiting for Elder Clearwater to shows up but he's not there, At 02:00 I start Fishing and no hope for Shark, Look for him with /target Elder Clearwater and nothing.
I looked in other Heirloom Rings comments and no one mentioned (How To Get Theees Things!).
Anel Medonho do Pirata, Sinete Antigo do Mirmidão , Elo Ornado de Accuria , Selo Rebrilhante do Arquimago and Anel Ferro Negro Lustrado.
So, Please guys... If someone look for an Item in Wowhead he looking for (How to git it?).
