Perle lumineuse

Started by the item Perle lumineuse, which is obtained from fishing in any fishing pools found in The Broken Isles.
The quest turns in to Archmage Khadgar in Dalaran. He can be found in The Violet Citadel on the far west side.
La fontaine de Dalaran
Take the Perle lumineuse to Marcia Chase near the Dalaran fountain.
Frénésie de poisson is given by Nat Pagle who will run up to your character shortly after you walk away from the fountain.
After accepting the quest, talk to Nat Pagle to be taken to Val'Sharah, which starts a scenario.
Stage 1: Kill all the murlocs in the area.
Stage 2: Fish up Gloaming Frenzy. Fish up Furie du déclin from the lake with many fishing pools. Nourrisseur des profondeurs de Terradiance frequently spawn when fishing which also drop Furie du déclin.
Stage 3: Give Nat your Gloaming Frenzies. Nat will be near the pool of boiling/bubbling water.
Stage 4: What's below? After Nat throws the Frenzies in the water, a very large fishing pool will appear.
Stage 5: Mglrrp. Kill the big guy.
Once you kill Mglrrp, take the boat back to Dalaran and turn the quest in to Marcia Chase.
Talk to Marcia again to get your artifact!

Commentaire de DG2020

At least they removed fishing up coins from the Dalaran fountain as a requirement.
Either way, this certainly breathes some life into an otherwise dull and boring profession. I can't wait to get my artifact fishing pole.

Commentaire de marathal

Nice to see someone putting in some research that will be a huge help leading into Legion. Nice guide.

Commentaire de SoCalWoWGal

Question: "Which artifact are you most excited to acquire in Legion?"

Answer: "The fishing one, of course!" exclaimed the person who loves fishing both in WoW and real life.

Brilliant guide! Well written and very organized. Thank you for your time researching and writing it.

Commentaire de 1126874

This is a great guide, leveling fishing is usually something I dread and only do it so I can gather mats for raiding consumables. With this guide I can set clear goals and obtain the awesome artifact fishing pole. Not to mention the currency for that shark mount. Keep up the good work, I'd love to see more profession guides like this one.

Commentaire de Eighjan

Requin en colère étourdi - think Brawlers Shark Boss...

Commentaire de Alamandaros

How does the gathering rate of Blood of Sargeras from the artifact compare to gathering professions?

Commentaire de lastcouncilor

Could you please elaborate on "Better Luck Next Time - Grants a chance to catch boots when fishing in the Broken Isles. Passive."? Are these equipment or vendors trash? ... or...?

Commentaire de 1197457

this will be fun to get and use. Love that they included the "turn into a fish underwater" while equipped but why is it a remora? why not, you know, an angler fish or angler murloc? Maybe it's just a placeholder model.

Commentaire de Kimiya

Thank you for the guide! I was having trouble finding anything out about the artifact since it's announcement. This will be quite the goal. :)

Commentaire de lunamoonraker

Thanks for making the guide. A very useful resource for those like me unable to get onto the beta.

As a long time fisher in the game there are certainly some nice additions, especially the artifact fishing rod.

I just wish El was around to share it with us. But at least we can always go visit Salty El in-game.

Commentaire de perculia

Sorry for the delay in getting it up, the Fishing artiact and related pages are now live: https://www.wowhead.com/artifact-calc/Ati0JJA

Commentaire de BigRed

I'd like to add that the usual Draenor helpers: Chapeau à tentacules, Canne à pêche éphémère, and Suprême de vers function in the Broken Isles as well. With this combo, I caught six rare fish from my first lure, and a second lure as well.

Commentaire de XieXie

You can also fish up a medallion to port you Margoss' retreat from the fishing area by the BMAH in the Dalaran underbelly.

Commentaire de thideras

I updated the guide with more information:

Added Emblème de Margoss
Linked the fishing pole artifact calculator
Changed all the traits to tooltips/links

In live, I hit 110 the first day, reached max fishing, and am starting to rerun catch numbers to make sure they haven't changed. I should have more updates soon.

Commentaire de Urganoth

Worth adding in to gliding part about the toy in highmountain, Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite, as this would be useful getting over to the fishing vendor.

Commentaire de camy011

Artifact power for both end traits = 5500 (110 total rare fish)

After you get both of the end traits, Way of the Flounder + Underlight Blessing, the cost of further increases raises substantially.

Each additional point after both end traits:
1000 - 20 additional rare fish, 130 total rare fish
6840 - 137 additional rare fish, 267 total rare fish
8830 - 177 additional rare fish, 444 total rare fish
11280 - 225 additional rare fish, 669 total rare fish
14400 - 288 additional rare fish, 957 total rare fish
18620 - 373 additional rare fish, 1330 total rare fish
24000 - 480 additional rare fish, 1810 total rare fish
30600 - 612 additional rare fish, 2422 total rare fish
64800 - 1296 additional rare fish, 3718 total rare fish

For those interested with how the fish form interacts with druid shape shifting:
All forms are still usable underwater but your character model will be converted to a fish and you will gain the bonus movement speed regardless of what you are shape shifted into, i.e. bear, cat, travel, or moonkin.

Underwater movement speeds:
135% travel form (seal)
169% all forms (fish)
169% stampede (fish)
169% cat form dash (fish)
202% seal's wild charge (fish)

Commentaire de Iscalda

If rares like Talang fantomatique turn into Talang fantomatique once you have the artefact, does that also apply to any of those you already have in your bag?

Since they have different item IDs, I'm guessing this will be a no but hey, gotta ask!

Commentaire de 1695750

Thank you. Great Guide! So far it seems to me droprate of Rare Fish is very high. In 200 casts I got 4 different Lures and with a single lure I got 6 rare Fish. Are some Lures common and some rare?

Commentaire de dasquee

Well, unless something is incredibly broken after the shutdown a few hours ago... rare fish have been nerfed within extinction. 3 hours of fishing with arcane lures in pools, 100+ baits and a grand total of 3 rares.

/nothappyjan

Will update if we hear anything from Blizzard.

Commentaire de Faraku

Is it actually possible on live to fish up the bait and the rare fish in open water? I've had absolutely no luck fishing in open water myself and there are some mixed reports around the internet saying that you can no longer fish up either the bait or the fish in open water.
I was just wondering if anyone else had some light to shed on this matter.

Commentaire de 1538795

Once you reach 800 Fishing, there is no need to keep additional +5 fish. They do not automatically cut over to the +50 artifact power, you'll have to catch new ones. Except for the Stunned Shark (1 min duration) you can keep the bait fish for future use, or sell on the AH. Happy Fishing

Commentaire de shaggyjr

Do i need to fish in Schools to get the rare drops or am i just extremly unlucky atm?

Commentaire de 968644

I'm having trouble fishing up the ocean fish; any advice on where specifically I can try fishing these up?

Commentaire de NelleRavencrest

All the lures can be bought/sold on AH, they are not BoP

For those who wanna speed up things!

Commentaire de Spartalex

Tip!

It would be wise to acquire this artifact right now. The Oodlefjisk in Stormheim for example are bugged in our favor in that the pools do not despawn. And every cast = a fish (100% from these pools), so that's 50 artifact power every single cast.

If you fish up a lure for them (Achient Vrykul Ring) you can fish for 9 mins in one. In this time you can easily get 30+ Oodlefjisk, for 1500 artifact power with your weapon. And with an arcane lure on, you have a 99% chance to fish up another Ancient Vrykul Ring in the process. Rinse and repeat :)

This same is true for the Ghostly Queenfish in Aszuna. I enabled all my gold skills on the artifact in no time using this, only stopped when the traits started costing 15k AP (and they weren't as good anymore).

Happy fishing guys! The artifact is great fun really. Fast swimming (you turn into a shark!) and then popping out of the water, standing on it immediately with water walking ready to fish. It's absolutely brilliant.

Commentaire de Dulahey

You cannot apply two different buffs at the same time. The second one will overwrite the first.

Commentaire de albinodonkey2

I'm not sure artifact knowledge applies to the underlight angler. Just finished my first knowledge work order and rare fish are still giving 50 AP each.

Commentaire de ikechi

I was trying to get the oceanic rares. Spent 3 hours (skill 400-460), only one bait dropped and after using it not even a single rare fish dropped. So I decided to skip fishing in this expansion and deleted all lures from zones as it was safe to say that the drop rate is 0.00% (basing on estimated amount of 400 catches).

Commentaire de codai

On the pole itself, it says it will teleport you to a node within 300 yards. On the actual ability, it says 200 yards. Blizzard has a typo on one side or the other.

--- As it is, the range is crazy low. Don't get the fishing pole if that is the only draw for you.

Commentaire de Undeadwarperson

Hi All,

First poster here. I have done a ton of fishing and here is a pic of what my pole looks like right now.

http://imgur.com/a/sFinu Looks like I can't post the link cause I am a new user but if you have any questions, Ill try to do my best to answer.

A few pointers, it seems that you don't need the arcane lure anymore after you get the pole. I have been fishing in pools all over the broken isle and I have been getting lures.

Once you put your points into having the chance of fishing up a pool of fish. The pool disappears while fishing and a bucket appears inside you will find a ton of fish. If you have the bait attached while doing this you can get anywhere from 5-8 fish for artifact power.

If you have the pole equipped, your mount will go faster while swimming. Tested it a couple days ago and it works magically. The points into the fish are well worth it, you turn into a shark / carp thing and go pretty darn fast in the water. If you go into combat it goes away. However, you still very fast with the pole on.

I put a point into fishing up the boots, I have caught north of 2,000 fish and haven't gotten any boots. I have only fished up a few Blood of Sargeras as well. The drop rate seems pretty low for the bloods and even lower for boots.

I don't know the exact percentages but fishing in pools is WAY better than fishing in open water for getting the baits and getting the rare fish. Baits can also be sold and bought on the AH as well.

Walking on water is good as well, after equipping the pole you have to stand on land for a few seconds before it takes affect.

That is pretty much it, if anyone has any questions, let me know. Thanks!

Edit: I am at the point where it's 6840 artifact power for the next point. You can def get enough power to fill out the main bonus ones just by fishing rares. It scales the same way as your artifact weapon, costing more each time.

Edit: Fished up Diver's Chain Boots of the Harmonius with the Boot artifact fishing level. Still dont think its worth it.

Commentaire de CaesarRomanus

I finally fished up a boot today while doing a fishing world quest.

To be specific, it was Weatherworn Boots

Unless there is something else out there, it hardly seems worth making it a trait.

Commentaire de Stozzy

Well, definitely buggy.

RNG can't possibly be this bad tonight, and I caught the Decayed Whale Blubber out in the ocean, but it's not in my inventory.

Burning Arcanes at 1000 fishing in pools, open water, inland... getting notta. And what i do get, it's 50/50 it's in my bag after looting.

Commentaire de nicebloke

Got my pole today thanks to this guide. It might be worth mentioning that you need to have the pole equipped when you throw the AP fish back - I wasted my first one :(

Also, Undercurrent doesn't care if you'll agro mobs when you teleport. I appeared between four level 110 crocs with all my fishing gear equipped - it did not end well...

Commentaire de maxmanna

I can confirm that you do not need 800 fishing skill to acquire it.
I got mine around 580 skill.

I have to fish in pools without my artifact to get new baits, CUZ my artifact destroys the pool by turning the hole pool in to a barril with only fish and NO BAITS!
PLS make BARRILS able to catch BAIT ALSO. i want to get rid of my crapy pole and fish all with my artifact!
freaking blizard doesnt test things.jezzz
VOTE +1 if you are with me!

Commentaire de avatar1337

It's possible to fish up a Luminous Pearl after having already handed it in. Blizzard had the wherewithal to make it vendorable, at least! Serves no purpose except to collect 1c.

Commentaire de Matyivagyok

I finished the Ocean part of the achievement in about 10-15 minutes in Stormheim, near the Tideskorn Harbor part of the zone. It belongs to Ocean water, and I farmed there Black Barracuda Schools.

There are not so many of these pools, but with Arcane Lure it was pretty fast to catch the 3 "bait" items and then the fishes too.

(My main goal was to farm Stormheim baits near Tideskorn Harbor, but instead of them I catched Ocean baits, which really surprised me, but worked fine. I'd be really happy if someone could confirm that it was not just my "luck" :) )

Commentaire de Raptorbait

One thing I've noticed, that I don't see already mentioned...

When I killed a Stunned and Angry Shark, the fish I looted were for fishing skill and not artifact power. Another time I released a Sleeping Murloc after clearing out a mob for room. I ran over all his fish and they were for fish skill, not artifact power, I believe because I still had my weapon armed both times.

So, if you're going for artifact power, be sure you have your pole in hand when you go to collect the fishies. :)

Commentaire de 1642861

After about 10 hours in game of fishing I can say with 100% certainty that ALL BAIT can be caught in open water. The Arcane Lure SEEMS to be a huge help, but it is still incredibly RNG (the Rusty Queenfish Brooch took me 3 hours on it's own, then I caught 3 additional ones within 2 casts of using one and casting on a Ghost Queenfish School)

Commentaire de Raciid

The best part about the quest chain is how you take Nat's row boat back to a city in the sky at the end.

Commentaire de Garrzilla

One way to farm Artifact Power for your Pêcheur de Terradiance is to catch the Talang fantomatique, this gives 50 AP per fish. The most efficient way is to use the Appât arcanique, then catch the Conque perlescente and the Ongle de pied de Skrog. Then you want to relog every time the Ongle de pied de Skrog is 30 seconds left from spawning. This will reset the timer. The point of this hassle is you can only hold 1 of each bait, making the Broche à talangs rouillée the only bait you can catch.

Commentaire de 1699361

I got my underlight angler today and fished up a few rares to power it up. So I shift rclick on the pole and it tells me to go to the artifact forge in my class hall to spend the points on traits. I've got 500 points - enough for 2 traits. And I have it equipped and am standing nearly on top of the forge. And I still get the message to go to the artifact forge in my class hall... Anyone have similar issues? Is there something I'm not doing? I've had no probs working the forge with my weapon.

Edit: I got a wild idea that blizzard screwed up and tried the dalaran fountain since that's where I took the pearl. And it worked! So when you get the message to go to the forge in your class hall - ignore it and go to the fountain instead.

Commentaire de 1126715

A couple things I wanted to add to this.

When leveling your artifact pole, you have to go back to the pools with lures and fish up your rare fish again. Once you get the rare fish, you need to throw them back in the water like you previously did to get that extra five fishing levels, except this time they give 50 artifact power each. Also the fish no longer stack, so if you power through it, you may notice your bags filling up quickly.

Side note...

Don't try to sneakily hoard your rare fish you obtained while getting the achievement... They will still give you 5 fishing levels and not artifact power.
(though they do sell for 10g each so instead of throwing them into the water and wasting them... vendor them)

Commentaire de 822364

why do you have to be 110?

Commentaire de Martika

Could you add info about how the rotten fishbone WORKS please? I just wasted mine because you didn't explain that it's not a lure, but that in fact in summons an NPC who then casts a buff on you to catch the fish in question. When I threw it and nothing happened right away I thought I had screwed up so I rode off.

Commentaire de Cramerscott

So, if your like me and do not love fishing, but want the Fishing artifact, to make the grind a little bit easier, since the lures are Unique, you can buy them off the Auction House. I was about to buy the lures for 3 zones for about 100g a piece, saving me a lot of time. Obviously some servers you wont be able to do this, but it may also help you make a little extra cash after you get the artifact too!

Commentaire de 1009005

While in Aszuna (El'dranil Shallows to be precise) I fished up the Landlocked Shark and the Decayed Whale Blubber from a black barracuda school. I'm almost beginning to wonder if fishing up certain bait isn't tied into types of pools rather than the actual location of where you fish it up from. Anyone have a similar experience?

Commentaire de EvulRay

I've now caught all the rare fish for Passons aux gros poissons on my Demon Hunter. This meant starting at fishing skill 1, and have no fishing gear. The amount of fishing + the 5 skill bonus from each rare was enough to get me to 800 fishing skill while still 4 or 5 rares short of the achivement.

All I did was find some pools and get the lures using Appât arcanique. Once I got a lure, I just kept on fishing where I was (regardless of pools) and would get 1-8 of the rare fish attracted by that lure. No need to waste time looking for new pools once you have the lure.

There were two rares I actually had to get from pools; Poisson-hache and Barracuda noir ancien. First I had a really hard time getting lures for these two (from fishing in Black Barracuda pools), so I ended up buying Leurre à poisson-hache and Graisse de baleine en décomposition on AH at about 300g BO each. After I applied the lures I got both rares within 3 attempts in a Black Barracuda pool in Suramar.
Note that for Barracuda noir ancien you can buy either Graisse de baleine en décomposition or Mouche vorace directly on AH, but I found that the latter was far more expensive for some reason. I'm note sure if this also applies to Message dans une bouteille de bière, but there were none for sale at the time I was shopping, and the lure had a reasonable price.

At the moment I'm on my 10th Black Barracuda pool, looking for the Perle lumineuse. This actually seems to be harder to get than any of the rares.

Commentaire de Fishstrike

To acquire a great amount of artifact power for your pole I just kept fishing for Runescale Koi Schools at Suramar (as shown in this comment: Koï runécaille/runescale-koi#comments:id=2403570 )

And if you have the Runescale Koi trait, you'll clear pretty much the whole river. In about 3 hours, I got enough artifact power for the first 15 traits. Remember to use the Arcane Lures and Baits -- especially the Sleeping Murloc as it drops a good amount of rare fish. Good luck!

Commentaire de Maxion

Correction: While the artifact menu for the Underlight Angler claims that it is affected by artifact knowledge, the amount of artifact power gained from each rare fish does not change. This may be a bug, but in either case it does not currently affect it.

Commentaire de Yasume

Artifact research upgrades don't seem to help at all in live. I have 2 done so it should be +50% while would be 75 artifact power, but everything is giving me only 50 artifact power still.

Commentaire de Vaeevictiss

yea i am stuck on the seabottom squid one. i got every other one on the 1st or second cast with the lure but i cannot for the life of me get this shark. I walked around the coast of the entire continent, fished every pool, and not a single one.

Commentaire de Sickbrush

Hello!
First of all thank you for the awesome guide. By following it i was able to grab my artifact in ~3.5 hours.
I used Arcane Lure , the Canne à pêche en os and Suprême de vers .
I also made use of Sifflet de maître de vol whenever available to relocate.

A few tips / notes i'd like to add:

If you're looking to power level your artifact, the best zone i found for it is just north of Irongrove Retreat in Suramar. There's a high density of Runescale Koi pools there and the area is easy to navigate. Go back to Dalaran once you've gathered enough artifact power to unlock the Runescale Koi Angling trait which will make the farm even more efficient.

Also a random tip - when you use the Murloc endormi , it's usually better to use him on land so you don't have to swim around to get the fish he drops.

Hope this helps and good luck anglin' !

Because the angling bonuses reduce the number of times you can cast into a pool, I feel like reduces your chances of picking up valuable bait.

Make sure you use the lures one at a time. with the exception of ones that act right away like Ongle de pied de Skrog i tried using the Conch and the Slime together but lost the slime.

Has anyone found how it works with alts? I have it on my main so I have the achievement done, but do I need to recatch all the fish on my alt before he's eligible to find the pearl?

Commentaire de TwistedGames

Yeah but how do u get the other appearances?

Commentaire de critney

Is there a way to track your progress on here?

Commentaire de 1694365

Thanks for the guide!

I got it in a weekend, few tips:

-When not fishing on pools, I found it really hard to fish baits, but once you have the bait buff it's ok not to fish in pools.
-For the coastal fishing, as long as you are on a coast and fish near water where barracuda pools spawn, you'll be good to find the coast baits.
-I made the mistake of using baits of the fish I already had, save all the duplicate baits you get, you'll need them later to upgrade the pole.
-Read what the bait actually does, some for example the Graisse de baleine en décomposition need to be used while standing on the ground, I was fishing on the Radeau de pêche des Hameçonneurs and I wasted two of these.
-Also if you fish on the Radeau de pêche des Hameçonneurs, it has a 10 min duration so when you are about to throw bait make sure you have enough time left, you don't want to fall in the water interrupting your fishing.
-The Broche à talangs rouillée and Ancienne bague vrykule baits are the best for getting artifact power. Stand where the pools will spawn if you can, so you don't waist bait time on moving, the good thing is that these pools don't expire until the bait buff is off.
-Also Suramar has a lot of koi pools together and the Murloc endormi drops there, make you slap him in a flat clear floor, it really makes it easier to see the fish he drops.

Commentaire de Milobob

AFTER WEEKS OF A BUGGY ROD IT SEEMS AS THAT LAST NIGHT THEY HOT FIXED SOME OF THE BUGS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.

I can verify FOR SURE that they hot fixed the black barracuda angling trait.

Now when fishing from barracuda pool with 3/3 put into barracuda angling you actually receive barrels AND instead of being filled with Silver Mackerel they have Black Barracuda like they should!

From the 20 or so barracuda pools I fished from each one had a barrel and each barrel had 3-6 barracuda, as well as lures and rare fish.

I will continue to update this post with whatever info I feel is relevant but as of now it seems like the bugs are finally fixed!

So thanks blizzard! We fishers are very appreciative for the fix to the rod!

It feels like the barrel traits are designed to make the fisher able to fish up the pool quickly (instead of getting more fish with more traits) but it may take more testing to see if having 1/3 in an angling trait is more beneficial than having 3/3

Commentaire de Ralum

You do not need to have lures to catch the rare fish. I got the mountain puffer 5 times in a row just by fishing in a radome river. And I only had 375 fishing skill xD

Commentaire de MentalEnemy

So any information about the alts? Do we have to complete the achievement all over again?

Commentaire de tiepolo

A couple things to note that are not mentioned in this guide. Once you obtain your fishing artifact, you must have it equipped to catch rare fish that grant artifact power. If you don't have your fishing artifact equipped, the rare fish you catch will grant +fishing skill. I learned this the hard way.

Also, the rare fish that you catch that grant +fishing skill stack. The ones that grant artifact power DO NOT. So make sure you have bag space. Another thing I learned the hard way.

Commentaire de mopserdak

To aquire fish that gives artifact power for underlight angler you need to have it equiped, that also aplies to stunned shark - you need to make last hit with underlight angler equiped otherway you will get another pack of +5 to fishing.

Water walking perk does not work while mounted.

Fast swimming perk works while mounted so you can equip underlight angler mount on sandstone drake and pretend to be taxi.

Commentaire de thanyou

This is the macro I use when farming Oodelfijsk to level my Pêcheur de Terradiance. This also works for Cursed Queenfish if you're fishing in Azsuna, just have to change the "/cast Oodelfijsk" to "/cast Cursed Queenfish".

#showtooltip Fishing
/cast Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
/cast Oodelfijsk
/cast Fishing

When you use this macro, it will consume any oodelfjisk you have in your inventory and cast the line in the same global because Fishing has no global cooldown. This allows you to make the most of each Ancienne bague vrykule because you won't have to worry about inventory space as the artifact power granting rare fish do not stack like the ones fished without the fishing artifact. I also added in the Chapeau de pêche déformé because I have it, you can adjust it as you need to based on what fishing modifiers you have.

Question, has anyone got this on more than one guy? If so, did you have to repeat the fishing rares? or just 800 fishing and catch the pearl? Thanks, looked but did not see this addressed.

Commentaire de drunkklaus

Fish in pools! The guide recommended 30 arcane lures, and I only used 11. Ended up at 326 fishing from 0, had to go back and fish some more because after throwing all my fish in I was only 756. It took me maybe 4 hours to get the pearl.

Commentaire de thedrjake

Do you have to fish out of pools or open water for the best chance of special lures?

Commentaire de Slenderfugi

Just so everyone knows you need a total of 7175.4 rare fish to be able to get ALL the traits for your Fishing Artifact.

After getting enough AP for 2 level ups, I returned to the Dalaran Fountain with my pole equipped, and clearly got the message I had to use my class hall forge. Logged in and out at the fountain. same-o. Went to my class hall forge and it did nothing. Reread this post, returned to the Dalaran Fountain, and NOW it works as a 'forge' for my pole.

? wtf ?

Commentaire de breuger

Just an fyi, the Cerf-volant corne-céleste plumeroc won't get you there.
New Dalaran counts as Broken Isles, but the Great Sea does not and will remove the buff.
You hit the Great Sea zone almost immediately after leaving the Dalaran island, while Margoss's island is entirely in that zone.

Class skills and goblin gliders work fine though, as they don't have the zone restrictions.

Commentaire de RealSteev

There are general benefits to having this item, even if you don't like fishing, e.g., water walking, transforming into a fish for fast swimming, etc. In case you are wondering, it does not complete with the other weapons for artifact power - it uses a different type of currency, obtained only by fishing rares.

It's relatively easy to obtain the achievement, if you don't mind purchasing lures on the ah.

Commentaire de OkajimaRokuro

For those skilling up the fishing rod you can sell the rarebaits to a vendor if you have the mount and then it gets to the buyback-tab.
If you are fishing in for example in Suramar you can sell all the Sleeping Murlocs then you can have a total of 13 before having to use them and then you find a nice place to set them free. I popped 3 at the same time and just ran around picking up the fish and you don't have to worry about getting a full inventory because they will be sent by mail when you don't have bag space.
You can do the same with Oodelfjisk and Ghostly Queen Fish aswell but since they buffed Sleeping Murlocs it's by far more efficient to rank up the rod in Suramar

Commentaire de waldropt

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time to write this guide and everyone who added constructive comments/advice -- I was able to take my hunter from a 1 fishing skill to 800, get the Artifact, and unlocked both gold attributes in a total of 8 1/2 hours. I realize I was extremely fortunate with some of my luck, but I was extremely dreading this from the get-go...

Again, thanks to everyone's input, I was able to get it done this quickly and hopefully I'll be able to shave off some time in the next two since I have 2 other characters I plan to take the time and get this on.

Additionally, I want to point out that I can verify that everything (except the Luminous Pearl) *can* drop outside of schools, but I recommend using them as much as possible. The first 2 zones I did took the longest and they were the ones I just fished in a random spot without using nodes. The rest flew by, using the schools once I found their locations.

Leveling your Pêcheur de Terradiance

Following advice from other posts, I tried leveling my artifact in Suramar, but I found it frustrating to have to avoid mobs, switch between land mount and water mount, etc.

The best way I have found to fish for rare fish is this:

Prep (in Dalaran)
- Visit Adjurateur Margoss, collect Mana englouti, and buy a stack of Appât arcanique. I usually grab a stack of 10.
- Go to an Auction House and buy the Ancienne bague vrykule. (This is optional, but helps speed things along more quickly.)
- If you're really hardcore, you can switch to an alt and buy more copies of the ring, but you probably won't need it. I find that with the Arcane Lure I'm able to get more copies of the Ancient Vrykul Ring as I go through the process. You can only have one ring at a time, so you will need to use FAC-TEUR and mail the extra lures to yourself for retrieval while fishing.
- If you don't have the means to walk on water, you'll need to buy something like Élixir de marche sur l'eau draenique. There are a good number of ways to walk on water... just pick your favorite and have enough for as long as you plan to fish.
- Make sure you can fly or float safely from a height. Use a Kit de planeur gobelin or have enchanted a cloak with Goblin Glider. You'll need this once.

Travel to your spot!
- Fly to Valdisdall, Stormheim. You'll overlook a bay to the South.
- Jump off the cliff to the South and use your Kit de planeur gobelin to glide down. Aim for passing under the bridge you see on the map due West of Valdisdall.
- I find this area has a good number of Raie-tempête pools and not many mobs. Just a few sharks that seem to be deep enough to mostly ignore.

Fish!
- Walk on water, or use a potion.
- Use an Arcane Lure to pull up more lures as you go.
- Use the Ancient Vrykul Ring - and quickly look for an Oodelfjisk pool. Hurry - you're on the clock.
- Once you find the pool, fish away and collect your rare Oodelfjisk.

Two good Oodelfjisk locations that are fairly consistent for me are just to the North of the world quest boat, along the coast (58, 61). Second spot is due East from the boat, near the shoreline (53, 65) where there's a basilisk or two.

This strategy has a number of benefits -- the waters in the bay here aren't crammed with enemy mobs, meaning you'll suffer fewer interruptions. Second, the Ancient Vrykul Ring gives a longer time for its lure to work -- 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes at the unmodified initial level. Third, once you find one Oodelfjisk pool, it won't despawn... you can fish until your timer runs out.

I find that I can pretty much fish constantly and pull an Oodelfjisk out with almost every cast. It made for extremely fast leveling of my most-excellent Pêcheur de Terradiance.

Have fun!

Commentaire de Aerynsun8449

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, I apologize if I missed it. And it should be obvious, but for whatever reason, I'm not seeing how to use the pole to teleport me to the next fishing pool. I have it equipped, I have that trait completed. But it does nothing when I click on it. There is a pool not even 100 yards away from me. I'm not seeing an ability in my Spellbook & Abilities window. How do you utilize that trait? Thanks. Never mind, I found it in my Sellbook. I must have just overlooked it before, right where it should be, after Mobile Banking and before Arcane Acuity, the first passive ability.

Commentaire de erehwonlost

Underlight Angler - Fastest Way to get Artifact Power

Thought I would put this out there for those asking - what's the fastest way to obtain all of the traits?

1. Fastest way to raise is by fishing Oodelfjisk.
2. Head out to Stormheim and try the lake areas around 58.6 59.9
3. Fish pools with your arcane lure until you get "Ancient Vrykul Ring"
4. To maximize your fishing head to a spot where you know a Oodelfjisk pool will spawn ahead of time - I use the one at 58.6 59.9.
5. Click your ring and start fishing away.

-I can fish up around 43-44 fish during the 10min window. Since each fish is worth 50 Artifact Power you should expect around 2150 Artifact Power per 10 mins of fishing.
-Make sure you have enough bag space ahead of time they don't stack.
-While it doesn't always happen I've had streaks up to 6 times where I will fish up a new Ring while fishing up Oodelfjisk. If this doesn't happen for you start at the top again and hit the pools until you get a ring.
-To make things go a bit faster I have already specced into 3/3 for Stormray making fishing those pools even faster. Since i now have a chance to fish up a barrel of fish - I sometimes have 3-4 casts before the barrel hits granting me even more chances to get a ring.

While fishing you may also find a "Soggy Drakescale". Use these if you get em but the timer is only 5 mins and the catch rate is not 100%. I consider this "fluff" to add a few extra AP.

Hope this helps!

Commentaire de 1051919

I would definitely say you DO NEED level 800 in fishing to do this.. Didn't get any Luminous Pearl until I got 800 even after many many pools, but when I got to 800 I got the pearl in first cast !

Commentaire de Devious05

It is not clear at all what you do once you get the baits required at the start, it said fish in pools but there was no mention that specific pools were required. Very frustrating to waste 2 baits

Commentaire de SargonStarblade

Just in case anyone was wondering.

If you save up all the rare fish you collected while trying to get your Pêcheur de Terradiance, like me, don't it won't work. The text is not changed once you get the Pêcheur de Terradiance.

It still says:

Use: Toss the fish back into the water, increasing Fishing skill by 5, up to a max of 800.

Only new rare fish will say:

Use: Toss the fish back into the water, granting 50 Artifact Power to your fishing artifact.

Commentaire de Kevlar

After about 120 Highmountain Salmons and 150 Runescale Kois I'm pretty sure you NEED 800 skill in fishing. So go and fish some Ghostlys and don't waste time (like I did). Cheers!

Commentaire de johnmully

So for me a good tip is to use the Brooch for ghostly queenfish or the Vrykul ring for artifact power both of these have 8min(unbuffed) timers and give you a pool to fish out of so you are guaranteed to catch that fish. I used 2 brooch's and caught 31 an 33 the other baits got me maybe 10 fish so these two are killer i remembered the ring from doing the ach earlier. I'd just buy the bait on the AH otherwise it may take a while. Also weird thing was while i fished up those queenfish I saw baits come up with the fish but never went in my bag, a toenail and a conch so can't explain that. Also goo to know where to fish the pool so you don't waste time.

*update 1/22 I am on my 2nd toon and bought a bunch or the Vrykul rings and I am averaging 18-20 it takes too long for the fish to bite! So if the brooch is equal in price go for that.

Commentaire de Ghnutoc

Hello guys. This is Ghnutoc of Stormscale. First of all I want to thank thideras for this really useful guide.

I got my fishing artifact some time ago and as I spent my time doing so, I was thinking of sharing some HINTS and TIPS on how to speed up your journey. So here they are:

1) If you find it difficult or impossible to reach the floating island where Adjurateur Margoss lives, just consider buying some Appât arcanique from AH. They are quite cheap considering the time you need to spent on fishing Marque d'Aquaos or trying to find a way to jump to the island or falling in the ocean under Dalaran (even one fall is enough, believe me). As a hunter I used the Plume d'aigle to fly there safely. I used 18 of them to complete the whole achievement.

2) NEVER EVER, fish outside a pool of fish. Dont do that to yourself please. The rate to catch a bait in plain water is extremely extremely low! Try to find lakes or rivers that have lots of fish schools and a high respawn rate. I ll give you some areas for every territory of the Broken Isles:

a. Suramar: Best option at the river round Irongrove Retreat (Begin at 24,28 and head east). Your second choice is the lake near Tel'Anor at 45,28.

b. Val'Sharah: The lake north of Starsong Refuge at 73,39

c. Highmountain: The lake at 33,63

d. Stormheim: The river north or south Dreadwake's Landing. Best option is to head south beginning at 56,70

e. Ocean : There is no particular spot, just be sure to ALWAYS fish in a Black Barracuda school

f. Azsuna: I didnt leave this territory last for no reason, but because I didnt find a spot to fish, quietly, without enemies and with a high number of fish pools near one another. If you find it, let us know please.

3) DONT USE your baits unless you have all 3 of them in a territory. Every bait is unique, so if you have it in your bag, you cant catch the same one, so you get one of the others. Beware though, cause you have to have it in your bags and not in your mailbox, bank or AH. Only bait you must use, as soon as you catch it is the Requin en colère étourdi, cause it has a timer on it and after that you lose it.

4) Baits dont stack, so use one at a time, or you ll lose the first one you cast. Baits stack with Appât arcanique so you can combine them at your will.

5) Élixir de marche sur l'eau or other water-walking means, like the Trotteur aquatique azur, will speed up your journey.

Have fun and good luck!

Commentaire de ideliaotg

I just started today gathering rare fish from the pools for artifact power. So far the ancient vrykul ring bait from Stormheim has yielded 17 Oodelfjisk. Also the stunned shark drops seabottom squid (5+). Have yet to test out the other baits.

I was stuck on getting the Perle lumineuse as I did not have the 800 fishing requirement. I started fishing in pools all around Irongrove Retreat in Suramar and while leveling my fishing I was using Appât arcanique and Suprême de vers. By using both when I was at 600 fishing, I met the 800 requirement needed to fish up the Perle lumineuse. I hope this helps someone as I was confused at first on how to receive it.

Commentaire de astrofrank

I find fishing relaxing and really enjoy it, but I don't understand why I need this artifact rod.
Is it just an appearance thing, or an achievement to obtain?

How does it help/affect my fishing in Legion? I am already at 800 and get plenty of fish...

Thanks, and sorry if this is a dumb question!

Commentaire de piszozo

What happens after we get all traits?

Commentaire de Evolution1979246

Just wanted to add perhaps a small tip which I found it so far the easiest way to level your Fishing Artifact. You get defacto teleport, and of course first one is the blood fishing. Put first 3 in Highmountain Salmon Angling. I have found that you nearly always get procs to fish up a barrel and with a rare lure attached already you will get plenty of rare fish to level up fast. Next 5 put into Curse Queenfish, Surface Tension, and then Underlight Blessing. Next 2 in boots, then the way of the flounder. The reason for this is the schools for Highmountain in the lake which is right near the Sylvan Falls Waypoint is an excellent and in fact a great spot in my opinion. I am already getting ready to get my 10th trait unlocked. Only catch is .... the required amount of rares is starting to go up because of the AP needed. 50 per catch. Make sure you also have your Artifact equipped while fishing otherwise you wont get the AP fish needed. Rares turn in to AP rares.

Commentaire de stephenrea

Okay...so I only need about 358K artifact power to completely upgrade my fancy new fishing pole! Let's see, at 50 power per rare fish with a 2-5% drop rate.....

*subtract for holidays

Commentaire de goodpoltergeist

Are you certain that 800 fishing is not required? I cannot for the life of me fish up the pearl.

Commentaire de yjesus

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the guide or comments, but just like every artifact, you get an additional boost for spending trait points on it.
For this one: Every trait point you spent on the artifact increases the duration of baits and lures by 8%.

Commentaire de 472475

The fastest way I've found to level the artifact is by fishing the Koï runécaille pools around the Irongrove Retreat flight point in Suramar. I just fished there for an hour and farmed 15,250 artifact power, which breaks down to an average of about 2,542 artifact power every 10 minutes. You will get the artifact power from a combination of Murloc endormi and either Grenouille mange-magie or Koï runécaille corrompue, depending which of the two lures you are using. A few notes about this method:

For those of you who don't know how to use Murloc endormi, you will spawn a murloc who will run around dropping Koï runécailles, Maquereau d'argents, and most importantly around 10-15 Poisson-globe sage-épines after you give it a good smack on the ass. I like to let it go on the bridge right next to the flight point, because I find it much easier to see the fish he drops up there as opposed to in the grass or water.
I did already have Bénédiction de Terradiance, Tension de surface, and all three levels of Pêche à la koï runécaille unlocked when I recorded my results above. These make traveling between pools much faster and also allow me to occasionally fish the entire pool in a single cast, which makes the farming go much faster. If you don't have these traits unlocked yet, then you may be better off using erehwonlost's 2150 AP/10 min method listed as another comment in this guide.
I also farmed 563 Koï runécaille and 196 Maquereau d'argent during this hour, so that's an added perk if you need either of those fish for raid supplies. The amount of Maquereau d'argent you get will be highly dependent on how many Murloc endormis you get.
I kept Appât arcanique up the entire hour, which you should be using anytime you're farming AP.

Hope this helps. Happy fishing!

EDIT: I also wanted to add that I had 860 fishing skill when I did the test above (800 base skill + 60 from the artifact). I do not know whether using more lures or gear that boosts your skill level will help you catch rare fish faster.

Commentaire de 263847

I would also like to add that you can use the item Vents d'émeraude to reach Margoss with ease. This may actually be an easier toy to acquire that does the exact same thing (except you get an extra boost/jump which you can use at your leisure).

Commentaire de Rideen

My experience with Legion flying is the following:

It took me about 2 hours to get all the rare fish. Then I have spent all day and the tomorrow's day to acquire Luminuos Pearl without success because I did not have 800 skill in fishing. I have fished from over 200 different pools and could not get it.

As soon as I got 800 skill, I caught the pearl on second pool which leads me to the conclusion that you must have 800 skill in order to fish it.

My advice is to fish from fishing pools only if you have flying.

Commentaire de Voodoomkin

I haven't seen any macros on this page so I felt obligated to share mine! It's a one button macro that switches between Pêcheur de Terradiance and Gueule-du-Damné. This allows you to easily switch between your Angler/Artifact when you hop in/out of water/combat. It's also setup for when you hold Alt, it will cast fish.

#showtooltip
/equip Maw of the Damned; Underlight Angler
/cast Fishing

Side comment: Great guide it was really easy to follow and really helpful. In 7.2 with legion flying it only took about 2h-2h30m to obtain Pêcheur de Terradiance. After that all I did was farm Ancienne bague vrykule in Stormheim for pools of Oodelfjisk. In about 2h or less I got both gold traits.

Commentaire de BandX

ok Under the AP section, mentioning the amount of AP acquired (50 per rare fish) would have been good information and also that the rares have to be fished up with the pole equipped and the rare fish thrown back also with the pole equipped. (I ended up wasting 350 AP cause I didn't use the pole to fish them up.)

Commentaire de Galanie

If you have Underlight Angler on one toon, Passons aux gros poissons will appear to have been granted account wide.

HOWEVER - That isn't actually the case. I tried and tried to fish up the pearl on an alt with no luck. Finally, I kept track of what rare fish that character fished up, until I got the last one. And with the last rare, guess what. That character got the achieve, and I was then able to get the pearl to start Underlight Angler quest.

Commentaire de Uraniq

Thank you soo very much for this guide,it is the best I found,it helped great deal,thank you !I was scared to start it for some time and now its done for only about 8-9 hours.Now I have the achievemen,but one thing is not mentioned...

The only problem I see here is that when you are on another toon, the achievement Bigger Fish to Fry does not come up "blank" for your other toons. All it shows is the achievement that has been done by your other toon, if this makes sense. I can not find the undone achievement for this toon I am on. How do I tell which things I still have to get?

Commentaire de StrawHatZachary

I've found the easiest way to get artifact power for the fishing pole is with the new fishing reputations in each zone in 7.3.

Wait until it is the day when the 'Fisherfriend' is Sha'leth in Suramar. Every time you kill the elemental boss, Magicus, that is summoned from fishing up a Ecaille de poisson luminescente, you get around 20 (or more) of the currency fish, Vairon doré. Buy the Murloc endormi from her (which is 25 Vairon doré) and you should get a ton of fish that grant fishing pole artifact power just by chasing the Murloc and running over/picking up the Poisson-globe sage-épine it drops behind it.

Something to note is that if you are in a fishing raid group to speed up the process of making Magicus appear, other people in your raid can pick up the fish the Murloc drops. To avoid this, move to a secluded area quickly, pop the Murloc, gather the fish, then go back to the pond and repeat the process. I managed to get around 20-30 Poisson-globe sage-épine a minute, as with a raid group the boss would be back up by the time I had finished chasing my Murloc and hopped back to the pond.

Hope this helped those farming for AP! Best of luck!

Commentaire de 914094

If you are going to do this from 1-800, start in your garrison from WoD. Do the opening quests for your Fishing Shack in the garrison in order to get Guide de pêche en Draenor. It will open up your skill level from 1-700 so you can avoid having to visit the trainer every 75 skill points you obtain. The only other time you will have to visit the trainer is at 675-700 skill points to get the rest of the skill points opened up.

Jehxtona
Hey Daniel,

This is Game Master Jehxtona. Thank you for reaching out to us today!
I understand you have questions about the Luminous Pearls.

The Luminous Pearl is a pretty rare drop, but you must have:
- Legion Fishing
- at least one slot available for a new quest (don't be maxed out on quests)
- have the achievement Bigger Fish to Fry completed (check!)
- Fishing skill at 800 (works with lures)
- level 110.

I also recommend resetting your UI, User Interface. But be sure not to add those Addons back before testing the game without them, as it is possible that one of the Addons can be affecting the game and the loot

The Absolute Best Way to Gain Fishing Artifact Power :

When the Fisherfriend Sha'leth is up in Suramar get into a raid group via custom group finder, tag Magicus when he spawns from Glowing Fish Scale which will net you 20-50 Golden Minnows. Which is the currency for Sha'leth.

Then buy the Sleeping Murloc . Fly just north onto one of the pillars, and click it. Collect the Seerspine Puffer fish.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Commentaire de Incandio

I burned through four Arcane Lures at 910 skill and got no bait, fishing in nodes (yes, none in bags etc). After using Worm Supreme they started coming in. Might be worth considering these mandatory.

Also, there is a "dead window" between finishing the leveling of fishing, and beginning progression on your Artifact power. During this period the rare fish you catch with the bait are vendor trash. They don't grant fishing skill, and they can't be used for Artifact Power. Every cast you spend within this window is therefore a drag on your progression. If you are cash rich, this is when to buy bait on the AH to knock off the rare catches needed for the Bigger Fish to Fry achievement.

I bought the lures from the Auction House, took about 25 minutes to fish everything up. Luminous Pearl will drop from any school once you complete . though it may take a while to drop.

Commentaire de Omeyga

Just wanted to share that the pole can be acquired with only "Legion Fishing" at 100 + achievement. The other fishing levels are not required anymore.

Commentaire de Lilyoptra

As others have noted, with 8.0 you only need Legion fishing maxed for the pole. That said, as its only 100 skill points now, I suggest holding off throwing back the fish for the +5 to fishing until you've completed this achievement. You'll get a lot of the 100 points you need with the actual fishing and almost all the special fish are worth 10 gold apiece. You can come away with 700-900 gold (your results may vary) by saving and selling these instead.

If you finish and are still short some points, then throw back just what you need to get to 100 (throw back the Seerspine Puffer 1st from Surimar-they are only worth 1 c each for some Blizz-only-knows reason.) Also, you don't have to be in the zone that matches the fish you throw back either, so just throw back in the zone where you finish up the achievement (you can even be in Dalaran-by the fountain). Happy Fishing!

I have some questions and need help if anyone knows. I skipped legion and jumped back into the game with BFA a week ago. I leveled Legion fishing to 100, and Kul Tiran fishing to 150. All previous fishing was maxed for me. How do i get the Angler? If this applies to us now. Sort of worried i missed it. Also have no clue where it comes from. A Vendor? Or the achievement? Do we still have fishing dailies? And if so, where would that start now? Thanks in advance!

Thank you Blizzard for adding this awesomesauce thingie! All the fisheermen rejoiced!

Commentaire de 1886718

Please note to receive the luminous pearl, after completing the achievement "Bigger Fish to Fry" there is a misconception across many forums on two thing!

1 - You do not need a base fishing level of 800 anymore. Since the BFA professions updates, now only max Legion fishing is required.
2 - You do not necessarily need to fish in 'inland pools' in the Legion zones. Many guides state this, and while most people do receive their pearl this way, this statement is incorrect.The Pearl drops from the last rare fish pool you completed the 'Bigger Fish to Fry' from. Meaning, if you finished the achievement with one of the Ocean fish, you will receive your pool from the Ocean!

I share this knowledge hoping that it will help players out there avoid the hours of confusion I had with fishing inland pools and never receiving the pearl >.>

Commentaire de Shookz

I have recently gotten the artifact, and I have one question: What do I do, to be able to walk across water? Aura doesn't seem to work at all, was jumping around in water like stupid for nearly 20 minutes, changes camera angles and stuff - nothing worked. Any clues for a newbie fisherman?

Commentaire de Dylox

Have level 800 fishing (lures work) - Confirmed by a GM through coldfusion828!

How exactly does this work in BfA?

Commentaire de Molniya

I played around and found that (in my opinion, at least) Suramar is the best place to farm AP for this thing in BfA. Use your Arcane Lure until you have all three lures that can drop in Suramar and then use your Sleeping Murloc. Hold the other two lures, since they are unique, the only lure you'll be able to get is the Sleeping Murloc. I found that it drops pretty frequently when using an Arcane Lure. Every time you use the Sleeping Murloc, you'll easily get more rare fish per lure than you'd be able to get with any other lure. Not to mention - it's quite a bit faster, even than casting on Oodelfjisk or Ghostly Queenfish pools that never disappear.

Assuming you only want Underlight Blessing and Way of the Flounder (since the angler traits are useless after BfA launched), you'll need 13 points. I got them in about 2 hours using this method.

Commentaire de jfoobar

I just acquired and leveled the UA on my third toon, finishing up just a few minutes ago. I have never tried the Sleeping Murloc method indicated below so cannot say yay or nay about it, except to point out that you will probably only get about 8 fish per murloc (backed up by stats posted on the wowhead page for the bait). That may or may not be faster, but it is certainly more RNG reliant than other popular methods. A single Queenfish or Oodelfjisk lure, even at just an unbuffed 5 minute duration, should result in 17-18 fish caught and you also can catch an additional replacement lure while fishing these up. Assuming static odds of catching any given lure (something that only Blizzard programmers could confirm or deny), this would make using the Sleeping Murloc method quite a bit slower in fact...about half as fast.

Chances are, all you care about now that Legion has come and gone are the artifact traits "Way of the Flounder" (reduced aggro radius), "Surface Tension" (water walking) and "Underlight Blessing" (aquatic form). To get enough artifact power to fill out to these, you will need to catch about 110 premium fish with your UA equipped.

I have always used the Ancient Vrykul Ring/Oodelfjisk method. You should be able to get enough fish to level out the UA sufficiently off of five rings with extra fish to spare (assuming you spend your artifact power periodically, see below). So long as you also use an arcane lure at the same time, your odds of catching another Ancient Vrykul Ring while fishing out of the pool from the one you just used is high, well over half the time. Even when you do not, there are many Stormray pools along the river near Dreadwake's Landing to fish up a new lure from so it should not take you more than 5-10 minutes to catch another one. I have caught a new Vrykul Ring on a single arcane lure every time I have tried. It is for this reason that the Vrykul Ring method is superior to the Rusty Queenfish Brooch method since there are so many more zone fish schools available. Although if you have both, use them both. Some additional points:

You need to put 3 points into either Stormray Angling or Highmountain Salmon Angling along the path to Way of the Flounder (but not both). If you put the points into Stormray, you will often be able to fish up entire schools on one cast, speeding up how quickly you get new Vrykul Rings when you need to do so.
You will probably also catch a new Moosehorn Hook and Soggy Drakescale lure along the way, assuming you don't already have one or both in inventory. Do not use them to ensure you do not catch another in lieu of a Vrykul Ring. When you are finally done leveling the UA, just sell these lures on the AH.
Even though it adds to the total time, you way want to seriously consider going back to Dalaran and spending your artifact power periodically as all artifact power spent on the rod also buffs the amount of time each lure lasts. By the time I was on my last of five lures, it was lasting 9 minutes instead of the original 5. On a 9-minute lure, I caught 31 Oodelfjisk instead of just 17 on my first 5-minute lure.

Hope this helps someone. Happy fishing.

Commentaire de Sangfoudre

Hey guys, I completed this today.
I did not play during Legion at all.
It can be long to fish the needed lures but they can be sold at the AH, thus you can buy them (from 500 to 5000 gold each).
You can only have one of them in your bags (but have the other on mail or on an alt).
Don't sell now the lure you get while fishing, you'll have to level the pole to get underwater breathing, swimming speed and water walking, you'll need rare fishes fished with the leg pole equipped. (about 45 of them).
A quick note on artifact traits, the "forge" for this item is Dalaran fountain, not in your order hall.

Have a good grind.

Commentaire de andrew1506

I completed Bigger Fish to Fry today on a 102 level character but has any body got the pearl before 110?

Commentaire de Finnaly

This may be bugged. Twice now I've had a lure appear in my loot window, but autoloot doesn't grab it. The Message in a Beer Bottle and the Drowned Thistleleaf both have showed up in my loot window, but never appeared in my bags.

EDIT: I turn auto loot off and was able to click the lures into my bag.

Commentaire de blankdud

During Shadowlands pre-patch, I got bored and decided to do the grind for this fishing pole yet again. (4th time) I popped onto this guide for reminders here and there, but for the most part, I have my process down.

Many of these comments talk about the Ancient Vrykul Ring as the best way to level the rod with fishing the Oodelfjisk. While this method (along with the Rusty Queenfish Brooch + Ghostly Queenfish) methods are fine, I believe that the way I tend to do this is far, far faster.

When you get your artifact, bee-line for the Runescale Koi Angling trait in the bottom right. Go to Suramar in the Northwest area (above Falanaar), throw on a Arcane Lure, and get fishing. The Runescale Koi pools are incredibly abundant, and when you instantly fish the pools with an Arcane Lure on, you can still get the Suramar lures:
Demonic Detritus
Sleeping Murloc
Enchanted Lure

Always have an Arcane Lure + Suramar lure on, use the Sleeping Murlock whenever you get one, and you will literally be rolling in Artifact power.

Commentaire de Blink1011

Is this still possible with shadowlands out now? I am looking into doing this during my downtime but i am worried if i get too invested, that i cant put AP into the legendary fishing rod.

Commentaire de sistah2

Just spent the last couple of days doing this on my lvl 42 DK. I've maxed fishing out in all areas but SL and Cataclysm.
I was able to complete 'Bigger Fish to Fry' and was lvl 42. I then went Chromie Time and leveled to 45 and went fishing for the 'Luminous Pearl'. Took maybe 10 minutes using the typical lures. Marcia Chase and Nat Pagle spoke to me and gave me the rest of the questline.
I completed the tasks and was awarded the Underlight Angler, however, when I go to look at the artifact traits I get a window saying "You have not yet discovered the true potential of this artifact."
I'll see if that changes as I level, I haven't seen any posts about this specific error.

Commentaire de thethinker990

I highly recommend to wait for each Ami de la pêche des îles-Daylie (check WoWhead startpage (Region/Legion) for the friend of the day) and fish up all the special items from them. After a certain reputation level you can buy the rare bait directly.

This is also recommended after you obtained the pole and want to level it. I got from 2 bait of Leurre à saumon 8 of Saumon de Haut-Roc ancien and from 1 bait of Ver de givre 2 of Carpe froide-rivière in about 45 minutes WITHOUT buying any rare bait from Matelot de la Jeune Vierge in Haut-Roc. Gathered from open water next to Matelot de la Jeune Vierge (/way 32 41).

I tried to get SOME rare fish baits from poles in Aszuna with Appât arcanique but had no luck in more than 1 hour.

I personally will way for each friend and get, if required, to the minimum friend level and buy the baits.

I think the baits where added at some later point of the game and all the guides are highly outdated.

P.S.: Don't forget to hearthstone the desired fisher friend area and apply buffs from Darkmoon Faire to speed up the friend reputation leveling!

Commentaire de drgoon29

is no one going to mention that the achivment name was changed to 'a catch above the rest'?

Commentaire de Slunko

No one will probably see this in time to not waste a day or two like I did, but the item currently doesn't work. If you get it, you can't actually upgrade it any longer.

Commentaire de ivofmatos99

Ive been trying to get it on my alt but without sucesss. Its 3rd week in dragonfligth expansion and i have the achievement "Bigger Fish to Fry" on my main, done in Legion Exp back then. I already have 100/100 FIshing with Legion on my alt and ive been fishing pools for an entire day with and without autoloot on but the pearl doesnt drop.

Am I doing something wrong? Im using "The Brokers Angler's" a fishing rod from Shadowlands.
I dont think this will be a problem since ive catched all the fishes type in shadowland along with the rare baits. But by some reason the pearl doesnt show up.
Any tips guys? Im struggling here without knowing what to do.

Thank you all in advance!

Commentaire de DaylarFarshot

As of Dragonflight, make sure your Underlight Angler is in the Tool slot if you want to get Artifact Power for it. Just fished up a bag full of Ghostly Queenfish and gained 1000 artifact power for it.

Commentaire de Goatwrecker

As of Dragonflight, you don't need 800 fishing anymore to obtain the Luminous Pearl. I was able to fish up the Pearl from a pool in Suramar with 100 Legion Fishing and a Draconium Fisherfriend equipped and having completed the Bigger Fish to Fry achievement.

Commentaire de mateutek

Here is sth i came up with to map what i already had
With opened Artifact window run to get the rank you have

/run for i, powerID in pairs(C_ArtifactUI.GetPowers()) do
local powerInfo = C_ArtifactUI.GetPowerInfo(powerID);
print("Power ID:", powerID, "Current Rank:", powerInfo.currentRank, "Spell ID:", powerInfo.spellID)
end

Then you can map it to this data

var power_to_spell_map = {
"1021": {"spellID": "201891", "name": "undercurrent"},
"1022": {"spellID": "201880", "name": "cursed-queenfish-angling"},
"1023": {"spellID": "201928", "name": "mossgill-perch-angling"},
"1024": {"spellID": "201882", "name": "highmountain-salmon-angling"},
"1025": {"spellID": "201883", "name": "stormray-angling"},
"1026": {"spellID": "201884", "name": "runescale-koi-angling"},
"1027": {"spellID": "201887", "name": "black-barracuda-angling"},
"1028": {"spellID": "201943", "name": "better-luck-next-time"},
"1029": {"spellID": "201944", "name": "surface-tension"},

"1032": {"spellID": "201948", "name": "underlight-blessing"},
"1033": {"spellID": "201952", "name": "way-of-the-flounder"}
}

To see what you have and what you need if you don't want to max the artifact

Commentaire de Ixta

Just completed this in The War Within. I had already completed the achievement on one of my mains.

The pearl dropped from the first pool that I fished after reaching Legion Fishing 100, so I don't think you need to do the achievement on each character anymore. I was level 50.

Total time to get the artifact was probably about an hour to level Legion Fishing to 100 and then another 15 minutes or so to do the scenario.

Commentaire de Onyx666

The Bigger Fish to Fry achievement is no longer character by character, so all you need to do is get to 100 Legion fishing and fish up the Luminous Pearl.

Commentaire de Desiderii

After the Dragonflight Profession Changes, for both Dragonflight and TWW, the water walking, turning into a shark water breathing/swim speed, and way of the flounder will still activate when you equip the fishing pole, but only when you equip the fishing pole. I, personally, just carry around whatever fishing pole is crafted for the xpac just in case I need the stats, etc. I'll then keep the artifact equipped and the xpac pole in my bag. Easy enough to swap them out and activate all the buffs again.

Commentaire de Betrys

This is late, but i decided to get this fishing rod on my main (which is different than it was in legion). i was going to start fishing all the rares and i got the pearl instead which started the whole chain to get the look. so it looks like the achievement is account wide now.

Commentaire de ShioKoori

Just here to let people know, that this seems to be bugged now. You CAN still get the artifact, however the page, where the talent tree should be, stays empty. There is a reddit post explaining how to get the traits still through chat commands in this reddit thread (need to paste it in yourself, didnt let me just share it here) : /r/wow/comments/yx4yw8/comment/ll4jo3z/

I am personally pretty bummed out, since I just recently came back and finished it yesterday, just to find out, that this has been left bugged out for over a year now.

Hope this helps someone.
