Part of the "Corrupted Rememberance" Hidden Artifact Appearance for Retribution Paladins

This Item is fished from the Thondroril River after a conversation with 被诅咒的提摩莱恩, who hurled it into the river long ago.

评论来自 CloudsongTV

Got mine after ~800 casts

评论来自 aeonarial

Paladins trying to fish for this should expect to have their patience tested. This is probably going to be the longest part to complete as it seems to have a very low fish up rate (I got 设计图：金鳞护肩 before getting mine and at the time of writing I'm coming up onto 800 casts) I'd suggest not being in any kind of group just in case it isn't lootable while in a group. If possible, try to find something to watch on netflix or youtube while fishing. Don't just do nothing as you may end up getting bored and giving up!

Edit: Finally fished mine up at 860 casts! Also went from 700 fishing to 800 fishing and I was using a bone fishing pole, but a friend of mine got his at closer to 400 with 800 and a normal pole so level may not be a factor.

Does anyone mind telling me if you have a timer to fish it up?, like if you kill the slime and that does it have a timer in which you have to fish it up?

I believe many of the commenters here just killed the blob without looting it for one or the other reason (might be faction tagged by other faction etc)

You need to loot the blob, use the item and talk to the old mage that appears for 5 minutes. After that you can start fishing for this shard.

I got mine on the 82nd cast which seems a bit on the lucky side, but 4K+ casts seems unlikely.

For anyone who has already looted this from fishing, I have a question:

When you finally get this, does it make you confirm that you want to loot a BOP item before you loot it? I'm using auto loot but I'm so afraid it is going to do this and out of habit from the last 2k+ casts just cast again and lose it. Does anyone know if this goes straight into your bags or do you have to manually loot it?

I rushed back to my class hall with joy and excitement, only to find Maxwell on a 12Hr mission.

The one time I get ridiculous luck in this world, and I shoot myself in the foot.

For the rest of you, just don't send maxwell out on a mission, you never know when you might get lucky. >.>

INCOMING SALT, KIDS.
tl;dr version: this was a poorly designed miniquest and I hope all of you still trying to get your phylactery drop/crystal fished up get it soon.

I got the hidden appearance today. After DAYS of fishing, I finally got this sucker. But I really have to ask...does Blizzard REALLY think this is fun?

Like, for real, let's be honest here: one of the major criticisms WoW has gotten during its lifespan is when it starts to feel less like a game and more like a job, so why the hell make getting a hidden appearance like this such a major pain?

Yeah, I get it. They wanted to pay homage to the old hoaxes surrounding the Ashbringer and how to get it, but the very INSTANT your game becomes a grindfest and a USELESS one at that (note how you get NO fish of use from this. They could've made it so that the narrative said it washed to a zone in the Broken Isle where you could get materials of use at the same time AND progress on your fishing artifact), itstops being fun and it becomes work- You know, I don't even know if I can call it work, because there's at least decent payoff to working. It felt more like a waste of time.

WAITING for a mob to spawn and hoping your faction got the tag and that you're one of the five lucky people who got the party kill (and come on, we have the coding for mobs to give credit to ALL who tag it and even level scaling, so what was the deal here?) is the ANTITHESIS of fun.

Fishing for THOUSANDS of casts, and I know it's RNG but for GOD'S sake they could've had nodes you could have fished in or a '100/100 casts reeled in' check point in the quest, is the ANTITHESIS of fun.

Even if you can boil down world quests and getting artifact power to grinding, at least that feels kinetic. At least I'm exploring the world and DOING something. It has momentum and a feeling of progress.

Sitting on my rear for HOURS on end, HOPING I get lucky does NOT instill a feeling of discovery. The Disc priest hidden appearance? Where I go about, trying to piece together parts of a lost tome from all over the world? THAT SOUNDS LEAGUES MORE FUN. At least I'm EXPLORING THE WORLD. At least I'm MOVING. At least those monster you have to kill are there and NOT something you have to COMPETE for. There are SO MANY different ways this could have been made more fun, more involving, and more intuitive. But no. This was a disappointment.

This? This was bad design, and to the people who are still waiting for the slime to spawn and drop the phylactery for them, who are high in their lines casted numbers, I'm sorry, and I hope you get your progress soon. They need to change these numbers up, really.

/end rant

评论来自 col0r

Got it after around 400 casts. Very lucky I guess. Also I got to kill the slime the second I got there

评论来自 Aruzar

I managed to snag the vile slime right after doing Halls of Valor after dungeon resets on 10/4/16 at approximately 08:30 PST and then only after 4 casts I received the shard.

I'm not sure if fishing level makes any difference, however, I was at 800. I'm guessing I got extremely lucky.

Good luck to everyone trying to obtain their skin!

And a friendly reminder:

If Tyrosus is on a mission you cannot complete the follow up until he's done!

I have to wait 9 hours to get my skin now.

4200 and counting.

I'm probably a few hours away from resorting to blood sacrifice to get this shard.

Edit: 4224 casts , I got the shard within 24 casts of using my little boston terrier Greta's paw to push my fishing button.

Her RNG is pretty awesome apparently.

评论来自 1676658

Disable your add-ons! I was 2600 fish deep with nothing meaningful to show for it. I could swear I had seen purple letters in my loot window out of the corner of my eye before auto-loot closed it on me several times. I admit I wasn't the most attentive fisherman, so I brushed it off.

Others are reporting auto-loot issues with fishing lures, and that they've seen the shard show up like I have, and likewise haven't gotten it. I think an add-on may be to blame here!

I disabled all of my add-ons, fished up literally five fish, went afk to grab a snack, then fished up the shard on my first cast back!

I don't think it actually has as low a drop rate as we think. I could be wrong. It could be a complete coincidence. I hope I'm right, though! Good luck, brothers and sisters!

评论来自 kilahpaladin

Spent 4 days total on fishing for this ridiculous, ridiculous item. I found myself at times cursing the game, wondering if my quest is actually working (Kept running the macro for progress.. SHARD CAN BE FISHED UP: TRUE always lol).

I have to iterate what other people have said here. This is the furthest thing from FUN in a very long time.

This felt tedious, arduous, and completely un-necessary. Like what about making a REAL bad-luck system? If you don't fish it up in 1000 casts, youll get a 10% increased chance to fish it up on the next cast, etc. Some kind of mechanic to actually know you are working TOWARDS something.

My biggest fear was that this would wind up in my Zin'Rokh bag of gigantic F yous in this game. Spent 3 months working the RNG on Zin'Rokh and I still never found it.

---
Shard took 4 days, 20 hours, and over 3500 casts.
---

Lenny Kravitz's "It ain't over till it's over" was my mantra here for the last week.

Good luck and godspeed Paladins, just because you are on the last part of the quest DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL EVER GET IT.

I feel like that should be the preface to this quest. You simply may never find it. Period.

----

Couple more details:

I started at 0 fishing. I had 800 fishing before it came up. I grinded 0-800 doing this.

I only spent about 2 hours after hitting 800 before it showed up. I'm not convinced fishing DOESN'T have something to do with your luck or chances here.

I had auto-loot on, and when I clicked the bobber, the loot window opened, and STAYED open. Shard of Darkness looking at me in the face, requiring me to manually loot it and put it in my bags.

The ending quest to this is fantastic, provided you ever see it.

I got it in under 40. This other guy who looted slime with me got it in 2 casts. He looted phylactery and linked Shard of Darkness within 20 seconds. However, his Tyrosus was on mission for 4 hours so I ended up beating him to the sword skin. But at 2 casts, that guy is in the Hall of fame.

And you better not down vote this. Cuz you will just be down voting the truth. >:(

Fun fact: you can fish up second Shard of Darkness, even if you already obtained Corrupted Ashbringer skin.

I fished at the side of the river about 1000 fish, until I saw a black ghost at 69.29 44.94, like those hovering in the basements of Karazhan.

Wanted to target but could not, so it was not a NPC but rather a map animation. I went to the exact spot where he was, used rod and I get 黑暗碎片. I am more than convinced that taking the place of that black ghost u fish this item.

Just need someone else to check this and also check out other coordinates besides that. Good luck and hope to help them.

You should maximize your fishing skill, because you will catch fish faster.

With 1000+ fishing skill, I sometimes caught fish about 3 times faster, than my friend who started with close to zero skill.

If you play on a pvp server. I would highly recommend that you move to the southern part of the Thondroril River.

评论来自 clinique

I play two paladins, one alliance, one horde.

My alliance pally fished it up in under 300 casts.

My horde pally took 4,337 casts total over 3 days...

The drop rate is definitely all over the place, good luck to everyone!

评论来自 1690022

Warning to all those farming :
When fishing, make sure you receive your loot before casting another line because it will cancel the loot even if you autoloot. I saw the shard and pressed my fishing button before it got in my bags so I didn't get it. Postmaster didn't send it to me either.

评论来自 chonginese

Can confirm that this sum^&*!@ does, indeed, exist. Rather than a drop rate, I think this item is connected to some sort of despair meter (like how the Xavius fight has a corruption meter). I was literally one cast away from losing hope when I finally saw the purple.

Took about 2400 casts with a few frustrated prematurely canceled casts that may or may not have contained the shard.

评论来自 LegacyZA

Fished just a little over 400 fishes, got tired, logged out, logged back in, 30 fishes later I got it, I don't know if it was coincidence... Perhaps that makes the game register the "SHARD CAN BE FISHED UP: TRUE"?

Its either epic and takes you days, or some !@#$ty noob its lucky with the spawn and gets the shard first cast, and its not ^&*!ing epic at all.
Blizzard should've either made a fill the shard with a higher drop chance of pieces, and made the slime spawn lower, or just not !@#$ed with us so much.

I was hoping to see some more suggestions or tips upon visiting the page but all of today people who've got it have been at random points in the same bit of river.
only suggestion i do have is fish on a pve server there are some twats about ganking for the fun of it because most of us aren't paying much attention.

Can anyone explain to me why it takes Retribution Paladins thousands of fishing casts and hours of gametime (during which your toon is not advancing, during which you gain no useful items), but Beast Master and Marksmanship Hunters can buy their appearances for 8,000g and 1,700g, respectively?

Auto-Loot didn't grab it. Out of habit (after having done this 1,195 times), I immediately hit my cast hot key again. I saw it in the loot box. And because auto-loot failed to pick it up, I lost it.

I opened a petition to see if a GM will help. If they don't, then F this from the bottom of my heart. Hours and hours wasted. What is this, EQ?

900 casts and still going strong.

Per WoW GM:

1) Turn off auto-loot while fishing for this
2) Don't use add-ons (they say that for everything - I don't use them anyway)
3) Shard not looting is a known issue
4) We won't give it to you

As a former GM myself, I know for a fact that when items are "fished" they are essentially put into compartmentalized, non-existant "chests". Each chest has an ITEM ID in the logs. All they need to do is pull up log files for the day, do a search for the Shard of Darkness' item id, and they'll find it in one of the "invisible chests".

Very shocked to see they wouldn't help. I used to do stuff like this all the time, especially when Tank loot bags for random dungeons would disappear or fail to appear in the tank's inventory after the dungeon was completed (this was a huge problem during Cata).

Got mine around 1000 cast. So when ppl report getting around 3k i consider myself lucky.
As i got the book easily and slime spawned while i entered area stayed there around 30 minutes then quit to install server hop.

After logged back the boss was right there didn't even need to use server hop. Soloed slime ilvl862 without buffs.

They might have changed the drop chance of the shard. I did my hidden artifact quest last night and got the shard on the 18th cast. If anyone has any concrete proof of the change, link it in the reply. Otherwise, it might be one of Blizzards ghost changes or I used all of the luck up within my lifespan.

Got it on my 15th cast. Proof.

Some facts:

Learned fishing 10 mins ago in Ironforge
Was fishing at the same place where the slime was killed
No lure, no line, no fishing gear or any kind of enchant/food/etc.
No fishing pole -- just was casting whatever is provided by default
Casting was bound to mousewheel; no automation beyond this, no addons
Auto loot was enabled
Was not in a group

This thing is awful to farm, and just awfully design. I get that they wanted to pay homage to the Vanilla design for "getting" Ashbringer, but this is ridiculous. An insanely large spawn time for a slime that may or may not spawn once a day, if you get so lucky, and then a 1 in 10k chance while fishing?

"Yep, that totally sounds like a good time." - Blizz Dev

And I pray you aren't like me and play on a PvP server. When your patience is already hair-thin, nothing is worse than the one group of paladins on the opposite faction waiting for the slime to spawn, and since they cant farm the slime, they choose to farm you.

Blizzard, if you actually read the reception of this quest, the person who thought this would be a great idea, and that people would actually enjoy this, should be fired.

评论来自 Dirk84

Got it in around 8.200 casts (in the pic below u will find around 8.040, the rest like potions, greens, non stackable rare fishes, etc.. was trashed for inventory reasons).
The actual probability, for me, is 0,00012% and almost 25 hours of fishing.

Proof

What i suggest to "enjoy" the journey is:

Turn off auto loot (atm some players experienced the "cannot loot item" which prevents them from looting the fished shard)
Turn off all addons
Buy giant bobbers from fishing vendors (that will help a lot when playing in windowed mode)
Configure WoW for windowed mode
Reduce the game window to its minimum size
Turn off all audio setting apart from effects (u need to know when to click the bobber)
When in position zoom to max so, in front of you, there will be only water and the bobber
Put wow window in one of the screen corners and watch film/tv series until u're done

Good luck.

I both congratulate and envy those who got theirs in less than 1000 casts. At the same time, I'm like... if only you knew...
You know what they say. Stare long enough into the abyss and the abyss stares back into you.

I fished for maybe 30 minutes before installing Fishing Buddy. Here's the info from Fishing Buddy upon fishing up the Shard:

Total time spent: 14:00:51
Total casts: 2876. Skill: 741. (Was using basic vendor fishing pole)
新鲜的银头鲑鱼 (1818)
新鲜的刺须鲶鱼 (1036)
19磅重的鲶鱼 (7)
强效治疗药水 (6)
17磅重的鲶鱼 (3)
法力药水 (2)
26磅重的鲶鱼 (1)
翡翠 (1)
22磅重的鲶鱼 (1)
黑暗碎片 (1)

I did this WITH autoloot on; it autolooted to me without any issues. I use ElvUI with XLoot - maybe one of those makes it work. I also had all my addons (many) enabled. However, it is better safe than sorry. Also was ret spec with ret loot spec.

Did this while watching youtube videos and movies in sessions spanning 1-2+ hours at a time. It ended up taking me 15 days from getting the fishing stage to completing it. Obviously, many days I didn't fish. I also missed a lot of catches due to not hearing (even with Fishing Buddy) and/or not paying attention.

However, in the session I got it, I had only been fishing for 11 minutes and got it on my 46th catch. I've seen a lot of posts mentioning getting it right away, or getting it after returning, and it seems there is potentially something to the theory that a fresh session may have a better chance... however, that is not provable nor would I advise approaching this quest like that.

Fishing buddy, videos/movies, and heaps of patience. I only really did it when I had nothing else I wanted to do ingame. Please save your sanity.

Got it after 2,3k throws. Got it on my 3rd throw, just AFTER the server reset. Here's my theory. To limit people with corrupted skin on the server, shard of darkness will drop only up to a certain number in a week, meaning the later in a week you try to fish it - the smaller your chance.

I thought about it yesterday and it worked just now. Try it out yourself.

This sucked so hard. I'm pretty sure there is a bug right now that will prevent you from looting it if you have auto loot on. Twice I got a message saying "You cannot loot this item right now" and though I did not actually see the shard in the loot window, I can only guess it meant that since there was never an incident of my not looting the fish I'd caught. So for those of you still working on this, I will offer you this friendly piece of advice:

TURN OFF AUTO LOOT WHILE YOU ARE FISHING FOR THIS ITEM

I fished for almost 8 hours straight, catching well over a thousand fish, went from 350-something in fishing to 781, but it is worth it in the end when you feel that sense of triumph when you - finally - fish up the shard.

To everybody still working on the rare spawn and the shard, I wish you the best of luck. Don't give up! It's totally worth it in the end!

评论来自 gunsrequiem

Can confirm that fishing level has nothing to do with this. I was in the low 100's and finished up right around 240. Took me about 150-170 casts.

I feel terrible for all of those who have spent days fishing for this! I met a bunch of them while fishing and I truly hope they get theirs soon. I guess RNG is just more forgiving for some.

I know it has been mentioned before, but I feel like it's worth reaffirming to people that you can absolutely fish this up anywhere along the river.

I fished up my 黑暗碎片 within sight of Tirion Fordring's old house. Took me a lot of casts to get, but I didn't mind too much... It occurred to me that Tirion probably sat there doing the same thing to put food on the table back before we met him for the first time in Vanilla.

This was a horrible experience for me, my RNG was especially bad, higher then average.
However there'ss another reason besides all the for mentioned ones.
I'm on a PvP sever, and as this quest is becoming more mainstream, its attacking the attention of some truly horrible people. I got well annoyed with getting interrupted all the time. And there where several moments where I had an entire team of gankers on me. Cause of-course 1v2 fights are way to risky for these cowards.
6v1 from time to time. Using consumables and all kinds of dirty tricks for the sole purpose of interrupting progress on this. This isn't world PvP. Its Harassment and blizzard if you're going to do a stupid RNG quest like this atleast make it a PvP freezone.. thanks

Less than an hour for the slime to spawn, followed by getting the crystal in 21 casts.

Going to be a long expansion now that I've used up all of my RNG for the next couple of years.

Also - fishing skill definitely has zero bearing, as my paladin in question hadn't even trained the skill yet when she got the phylactery off of the slime. Had to go back to Dalaran, train apprentice fishing, then go back to the river.

I would really like someone from Blizzard explain to me how this grind is considered compelling game play. I mean they use this term all of the time as an excuse for some really stupid things. This being one of them. While I haven't reached the cast count of some above this post.. I'm still sitting at about 2000 casts as of this writing. I don't want to leave because i've wasted so much time as of this point if I don't fish up the shard it would make this waste of time even worse.. But seriously. I mean I'm questioning my subscription as of this point if this is what I have to do that is compelling..

To anyone from Blizzard that might read this.. This isn't compelling game play. And using any excuse like 'We've learned things' or your other garbage jargon talk is nothing more than a cop out.. You guys seriously are sadists.

My day getting this skin.
Hardest part was the Slime. I camped for about 3 hours, downloaded and used a server hopping tool. Closest I came was seeing its corpse and about 50 paladins standing on it. I logged out eventually and then played an alt for a few hours, logged back in and there it was. No one fishing, no one to help kill it... So I Solo'd it - but not an easy fight at ilvl 840ish. Then Fishing. it took 150 casts, taking my fishing skill from 20 to 75 (capped there as I didn't go and train) using a basic fishing rod and no bait.

I got in about 15-20 casts once I moved to the spot on the shore directly behind where I talked to the ghost. I'm wondering if success rate is positional based... be right in that spot not up or down stream or on the other side of the river etc... but directly behind where the slime spawns and the ghost appears to chat?

At any rate, only took me a day I was quite pleased after reading so many horror stories.

The drop is really low, just keep the fishing grind and it will drop eventually.

Looks like I was kinda lucky. Started with fishing level 1, and got my Shard of Darkness on the cast that earned my Master Fisherman title at 375. I was going to quit for the night after that cast because I had to go to the trainer. Only took 563 casts!

评论来自 Foolya

I found it after 558 casts. Started out with level 1 fishing and went back to train shortly after maxing each skill tier. Ended up with 347 fishing skill.

Good luck!

Having read a lot of posts here, I feel for you with so much time.
Just to confirm however that this is complete RNG. Skill 701 (I learned legion fishing right before I started fishing for the item).

Went from 700 to 800 in fishing while doing this, but like other posters have mentioned skill level doesn't seem to affect the RNG chances. Also didn't have any fishing gear equipped, not even a fishing pole.

Camped the slime for 3 days. Now I have been fishing for 2 streight. 6245 fish in my bags plus the random greens, potions and junk I got. I started at 1 fishing. I'm now at 725. I decided an hour ago wtf I'm going to be here until I die I might as well go train legion fishing and finish it. I know RNG is RNG but damn near 6.5k or more casts is just rediculous

评论来自 Pupsader

I am a masochist and a collector of useless things, which is... inadvisable. Nevertheless, I fished up a second 黑暗碎片 because I thought it would be amusing for 玛克斯韦尔·泰罗索斯男爵 to say, "I feel a dark presence nearby..." every time I walked by him.

As it turns out, this does not occur after you've completed the appearance. Maxwell does, however, permanently turn away from the command table while 黑暗碎片 remains in your bags (or even your bank). If your intent is to keep it forever, do not under any circumstances click his dialog option again (I've recovered a dark, but powerful crystal, Maxwell.) as doing so will consume the item.

Yes, I fished it up a third time.

The screams deep within are mine.

Got it on cast 308.

评论来自 1134079

Just in case someone's analyzing this information somewhere...

I fished up the shard on cast 504. At the time I got it, I had an effective fishing skill of 940, between max Legion fishing, 幽光鱼竿 (+60), 饱经风霜的渔帽 (+5), and the lure it gives you (+75). Total fishing time was probably around three hours.

评论来自 rubyrabble

Personally, I find that the RNG of the Shard of Darkness really ruins the experience of acquiring the hidden appearance. I was really engaged and immersed in the story.....and then I spent five hours fishing with no shard. I was super lucky with the holy drop (20 min of farming after AK4) and have had the other three colors unlocked for Ashbringer through that for a while now. I feel for those who fished even longer (or camped that slime!), that commitment needs applause. I don't think it should just be handed out, but for the love of all that is holy, that drop rate needs an increase. I still don't have a shard, and maybe I'll go back in a few months and try or maybe three colors is just good enough.

评论来自 cstober2010

Took me 658 casts, I wasn't expecting it this soon! I would normally do 100 casts a day, but today I farmed a few hundred and got it. Pull out your tablet and watch some videos, plus talking with your fellow paladin friends makes it go by quicker. Good luck ^.^

There might have been a change of drop rate with 7.2 - either that or I was just dumb lucky to get mine after 50 casts: imgur.com/a/XUXp0

评论来自 Khaledra

I do not know if they have increased the drop rate in 7.2 or if they added bad luck protection or if I was just insanely lucky, but I was able to fish up the Shard of Darkness in 174 casts. I am amazed, but super happy to have this appearance!

I do not know the entire inventory of what I fished, because the first time I fished (100 casts) was right when this hidden appearance was added. Back then I had added the item to the addon Rarity to keep track of attempts. Today I installed fishing buddy and followed the tips others have given. I also used the oversized bobber, turned on some music and started fishing. 74 casts later... :D

After all i read here i was preparing for a nightmarish grind.
Sat comfortably on my chair, popped a soda, made a long lasting list on spotify and began fishing. After the first 50 casts i was reading a comment regarding a pet somebody summoned and brought him luck.
I thought what the heck...it wouldn't hurt would it? I summoned Corgnelius and proceeded with the task ahead. I was fishing along with three other guys from the Horde side and all was unusualy quiet.
This silence was broken by the barking of my companion 27 casts after the initial 50...I thought nah...it couldn't...clicked the hook and... the Shard was in front of me!
I still can't believe my luck. It took me 77 casts and maybe the luck Corgnelius brought me! Good luck to all still trying!

Want to try and give info that I can to help people still going for this.

First and foremost I recommend double checking to make sure you have the steps completed to fish this. This macro from captainloser will let you do that.

For anyone wondering if you're ready to start fishing, give this macro a shot. It'll tell you if you've done all the prerequisite parts:

/run local p,q,t=print,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted,tostring p('Talked to Prince Tortheldrin: '..t(q(43682)))p('Talked to Alexia/Bardu: '..t(q(43683)))p('Slime can drop Timolain: '..t(q(43684)))p('Shard can be fished up: '..t(q(43685)))

If all four lines return true, you're ready.

Now for my information to help you out.

This is available after the BFA prepatch: I was able to fish this up as of 8/2/2018 on U.S Realms after the BFA Prepatch.

I recommend fishing at location approximately 69, 46 Western Plague Lands a bit above the bridge and past a broken tree you see a big rock across the stream kinda point out. It has the broken tree hovering over it. Can confirm this is the area I got it from.

Fishing Skill does not seem to matter: I fished this with a very low fishing skill I think around mid 40s. ended up getting it when I was at 113 meaning your skill doesn't seem to matter for those wondering (should also give an idea on time reference too).

Highly recommend turning off Auto loot: I did turn off auto loot once I read comments suggesting it and I suggest doing the same, before I read those I was fishing and I think I possibly did see the shard but didn't have it looted to me. So be on the safe side and turn off auto loot for this.

Fishing Bobber is fine: I used the legion cat head fishing bobber because my eye sight sucks and makes it easier so if you have that concern it worked for me fishing with it.

Based on all the comments I have read since pre patch it does seem like the drop rate is a bit better than in the past, but can't be certain. Hopefully it is better now but you should still be ready to put in some time for this was not instant for me, but not unbearable as some of the past posts players had reported.

Good luck to those still going for it, hopefully this helped answer questions you may have had.

Was fishing near Tirion's old shack. 58th cast for me.

Hello,
I got this today after 51 casts. It is all RNG and you fishing skill don't matter. ( I have no fishing skill)

评论来自 psychoviolent

Got mine after 58 casts, I was located right next to the Large Vile Slime so don't go too far away from that point. 50 seems to be the new average based on the recent comments but is still RNG, don't give up if you're still fishing for the item.

评论来自 leafeknight7

Confirmed for BfA. If paladins are still wanting to obtain this. It's complete RNG, but I got mine in 10 casts with fresh fishing skills. Also just for luck used my 浮标：木质佩佩. Good luck to you!

评论来自 Comocosono

I got mine in 40 casts.
on the 39th cast I was like well he did say he was being eaten and threw it into the river, he probably couldn't throw very far. So I walked in a straight line between the slime and the water and fished in that spot right at the water's edge with the bobber. (had to use fishing raft to do it from the middle of the river so fishing right click wouldn't make me attack the patting new slime instead of clicking bobber).
Sure enough, the next cast it fished right up.
Try fishing there.
Like in my experience fishing under bridges in open water gives me more catfish than loaches rather than a 50/50.

Not sure if they changed the drop rate in BFA, but I got it on my 18th cast. Here's a screenshot if you don't believe me. https://imgur.com/a/3JiLgai

I didn't use anything special either. Had no fishing pole or hat. Just the regular default fishing skill.

评论来自 Wragth

Finally got it after 6835 casts.
only 93 since the start of bfa. I had given up back then.

Just started to get this tonight and got it on my 36th cast

Exactly 90 casts for me.

Must have been really lucky. I got to the slime and he was spawned, no waiting! Then only took 77 casts to get this. Maybe they patched it?

Shard can still be fished up in Battle for Azeroth. Took me 79 casts in 8.1

评论来自 ZachyKinz

as of 8.1.0 (Jan 19th) was able to fish this up in 83 casts.

评论来自 Vexas

I just completed this on my Zandalari Paladin during patch 8.1.5.
Went from fishing skill 1 to 97, so probably roughtly 200 casts total.

评论来自 Vygoth1

Fished this up after 44 casts in bfa, judging by the comments it looks like they buffed the drop chance.

评论来自 Turambar2

Be sure to disable autoloot, i didn't see that in the previous comments and it took 84 casts for the first drop which only auto-looted the fish!
luckily got another after another 20 casts

评论来自 Grizmatik

Took exactly 100 casts in 8.2.5 for me.

On this day, I fought & killed the slime & fished up the Shard after 15 casts -- I'm not normally lucky, but I feel that today I was & will never be again for many moons to come.

评论来自 Monomatapa

It took me only 3 casts, but I've heard horror stories of over 2000 casts...

评论来自 scharky

exactly 68 casts...not terrible.

don't listen to people's BS about "fish the narrow part" or "try by the fallen tree", or "use a certain lure", "you need max fishing skill", etc. that's nonsense, and they're trolling.

you just need to be in the Thondroril River area--it'll say "Thondroril River" over your mini-map.

i got mine with 150 fishing skill, a standard cheapo rod, and no lures or anything.

just be patient. put on some good tunes or netflix and keep casting. you'll probably get it sooner rather than later. good luck!

47 casts from level 1 fishing, definitely not a long wait for anyone doing this. Worst part is the Large Vile Slime.

Idk if they changed the drop rate, but just today in 9.0, I got it in just 28 casts. Also was pretty lucky in that just when I first logged in today, the slime was immediately up.

评论来自 Uteesh

Just fished it up on cast #66, from right next to the Slimes spawn.

评论来自 DaemoniKira

Took me 48 casts at the same spot where the Rare Slime spawns. I had 0 fishing skill, though I trained all regions of fishing before starting to fish for this item.

Just did this, Shadowlands, fished it up in 40 casts.

Also the ooze was up in the first place I looked, right where wowhead said I would find it.

I don't know if the rate has been increased, but fished this bad boy on my 17th cast.
Fished right next to the rare spawn with 1 Fishing Skill.

Either the RNG has been buffed or I was very lucky, as I got this in 72 casts today.

81 with auto-loot on, then read comments about disabling in-case it doesnt loot/you miss it.

Today i dropped the shard after 96 casts.
With the Legion fishing at 1/100.

It was pretty fast, when i've seen an old video and the guy just spent like 8 hours fishing it and 2000+ casts.

45 Casts

评论来自 FabulousFerret

Read all the comments about how long this was going to take. Grilled up some food, settled in with a show and some snacks. I was ready for the long haul. Lvl'd my fishing to 37 and got it.
31 Mithril Head trout
9 Bristle Whisker Catfish
1 19 Pound Catfish
1 Shard of Domination

Either they increased the odds or I got damn lucky.

评论来自 Darkdefender

Not sure if anyone else tried it, but I went to fish on the *Eastern* plaguelands side of the river for a bit and had nothing. Went to Western again and got it within 5 casts. Oops

As of today 28/02/2023 I just got that cristal after 56 catches and for the Slime, I switched on WM ON and the rare was waiting for me at the exact point.

A ce jour, le 28/02/2023 je viens juste d'avoir l'éclat après 56 prises et pour la gelée, j'ai activé le mode Guerre et il m'attendait là tranquille.

If in case that might help my fellow brothers in arms.

评论来自 Greyfingers

Just got this in 2 casts. Not sure if they increased the drop rate or something from what the 2016 guide said.

评论来自 KrackaWoody

Adding my comment even though it could be a fluke, took me 101 casts.
In all honesty I got to about 98 Casts and my dumbass realised I only had Classic and DF fishing and no other expac.
Idk if you need Legion Fishing because it doesnt say you need it for this but I went back and got it and then got the gem 3 casts after that.
(It still only leveled Classic fishing but my assumption would be you need legion fishing for it to be in the drop pool).
Hopefully this helps any future dumbass like myself!

For future seekers, as of 10.1.5 it too me only 20 casts with picking up Fishing right before the slime.

Doing this quest chain for the appearance. Started fishing last night, spent about an hour or so fishing, got nothing. Started fishing again tonight, got it in under 5 casts for the night and under a 100 in total. I feel bad that I got extremely lucky.

评论来自 DaylightSlaving

Pro tip here guys: You need to kill the slime and use the phylactery/summon Timolain to trigger the next part that allows you to fish up the shard. (Timolain goes into detail about the importance of the shard; the interaction advances the story line.)

I was fishing for an hour or so after killing the slime and looting the phylactery, but, I didn't use the phylactery. I thought you'd combine the items or something later on down the road. Boy, was that not good. I ended up just leveling up my fishing from 0-190. I used the phylactery after realizing my error and within 20-35 casts I fished up the shard. I now have four hundred fish, five chonky catfish and two healing pots. Don't be like me. lol

Good luck, have fun!

Got mine after 2 cast 😎

评论来自 Dreycraft

11 casts for me. They obviously drastically reduced how rare it is. I pity all of you who had to fish 3 THOUSAND + times to get it during Legion. It's a cool appearance, but not for THAT much farming, imo. That's pure f-ing insanity. Blizzard truly loved torturing their players back then.

评论来自 Scrimboi

If anyone is planning on doing this soon just confirming that still work took 64 cast to get the shard

Can be bought from Horos, legion remix pet/toy vendor for 100k bronze (as paladin).

评论来自 AdenAndrews

After you buy the 黑暗碎片 go talk to 玛克斯韦尔·泰罗索斯男爵 located in your Sanctum of Light (Paladin hall). He will give you the quest 暗影之行. Completing this quest gives you the 腐蚀之心 which unlocks the corrupted remembrance appearance on your Ashbringer weapon. The end.

There doesn't appear to be any achievements accomplished by completing this. Hearing how hard it is to obtain, it wouldn't hurt to grab it since it is so cheap.

评论来自 Anakinxd

For Legion Remix:

Take this to your order hall, talk to Lord Maxwell Tyrosus at the long table to get the quest line for the Hidden Corrupted Ashbringer appearance!
You have to talk to him - he doesn't have a quest mark above his head!

Ps. You have to logout/exit game for the appearance to show up in apperances/transmog after you got it.

评论来自 madmurdock

Ok, if you wonder, if you can get this with your old retail Pala char by playing a new Legion Remix Pala: The answer is yes, but no at the same time, but the no doesnt really matter.

Your Legion Remix Pala can buy this and will get the achievement and the transmog. Your "Main Retail Pala" can transmog this now on their retail weapons using the usual transmog NPCs (Yak mount e.g.), but it wont appear in the order hall, when you have your ashbringer weapon equipped. The hidden appearance still doesnt show up in the order hall menu and is behind a ?. (bottom left). But again, it works basically on every other weapon youre wearing with your Retail Pala anyways, so it only affects the kind of players, who absolutely want to have this "100%" on their main, but then you have to go fishing. :) All the rest be happy that you got it now. ;)

评论来自 Mikat12

This will give a variant of Corrupted Ashbringer from original Legion, called Corrupted Remembrance in Legion Remix :

1. Start a Ret Pally
2. Play until you have or transfer 100,000 bronze to your character and buy "Shard of Darkness" from Horos at the Infinite Bazaar
3. Talk to Lord Maxwell Tyrosus in the Paladin Class hall with the shard to start the quest " Walking in Shadows" (I had to walk away from him and come back and it was there)
4. Go to Acherus: The Ebon Hold above the Broken Shore - there's a conversation with the 4 Death Knights
5. Return to the Class Hall to complete the quest and receive "Heart of Corruption" -click to learn the appearance

I also had to relog and remove my addons for it to show up as a transmog and then was all good

Easy!

评论来自 Iconoclast107

81 casts for me in current retail wow before it showed up.

评论来自 Alexra1310

During Legion Remix transmogging a two handed sword to Ashbringer allowed me to use "Heart of Corruption"

评论来自 Cimegs5088

Just in case anyone was confused like me when Lord Maxwell told us to "show the horsemen the shards" in Archerus. You are supposed to place it on the altar thing in front of them instead of talking to them (which you can't). XD

评论来自 Cimegs5088

(1) It unlock related transmog for other specs too.
(2) You can buy it on remix with bronze even if you already have all the related appearances. (so yeah check before buy because it's hefty 100k bronze)

评论来自 BoroTuralyon

After summoning the lich from the item that drops from the Large Vile Slime rare that spawns near the water you fish from in the Western Plaguelands you will be able to fish this item. Looking at my bags I have fished up
14 Raw Mithril Head Trout
7 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
1 Shard of Darkness

I did this after Legion remix ended in early 2026

Good luck!
