This toy is awesome! I got a MoP rare from it while waiting for Rustfeather.
So what's up with "Bonus Reputation?"
Yay, that's me fishing in the Hyper-Compressed Ocean - I've never been prouder ^-^
This is great and just my kind of crazy time-waster!Will there be a guide so that I can save it in my favourites?
This guide is great,with lots of good comments from peeps that are happy to see something new attached to fishing. Got started today and have my googles already. Don't listen to those few who were negative, there's always a few who would complain if they were "hung with a new rope".....very old saying from my mother. LOL, again thanks for the guide
Caught a Solarsprocket Barbel and Bolted Steelhead both in the pool while fishing for the Pond Hopping Springfish. So it seems like they can be caught anywhere on the island.
Thats a joke, im fishing now for 5 hours cause im missing the Bolted Steelhead, now i tried your location and got on the first catch Springfish.
These secret fish come one at a time and give 25 rep for each turn in. There is a achievement called "Secret Fish of Mechagon" so you can know what fish you have caught to get the achievement and the secret googles. Expect a fish to drop in about 5 minutes or so when you are in position.
For the "any area" fish, I found the area just outside of Orgrimmar to be the best.Durotar 43, 20 or 41, 17.The area is flat, with no vegetation to get your way, very few low-level mobs, and the orange-brown color of the ground makes it very easy to see the "fish bubbles" when they spawn.I got 7 of the 8 "any area" fish and the "daytime" fish in about 40 mins.
I did not find the island near Dalaran to be good for catching the last of the common area fish. I spent an hour there are got lots of the Clownfish but no area fish. My thought was that it depends on how the fish you catch is determined. Would a place with no fish of its own be better? I went to the large islands off the south of Nagrand(Outland) which has the same efffect as the Dalaran island. The difference was that I was now getting the common area fish regularly and it was very notable how many more area fish I was getting. Within the hour I got the five I needed and multiples of each of the other ones I had caught previously.It's only my experience but going to somewhere without a rare fish of its own seems far better to get those last few common area fish.
I swear that if you are fishing for rep in Mech, don't have the secret glasses buff on. I had a terrible run on the fish until I turned off the glasses buff and then the drops occurred in a normal fashion. Is it just me?
Others may have said this, as I haven't read through all the comments yet. But I can confirm you can get at least the Bolted Steelhead in other areas. I just got it while fishing in the area for the Spitting Clownfish.
Anyone made an in-game addon marking these locations, yet? (Edit: I know I could do it myself, but if someone has already made one ... :-)
"Elusive Moonfish - Can only be caught at night, from around 9:30pm to 8:00am server time."I just got this on in Kaskala, Borean Thundra at 6,38 pm servertime in EU.Edit: And got another one at 7,00 pm servertime
Just caught a Golden Sunsoaker at 06:50 server time, so I'm not sure those times are right.
Thank you Patty for the comment on finding the "find anywhere" fish outside Orgrimmar! I managed to catch 1/2 of them in the area you mentioned in less than 10 minutes!
