The flavor text of all these coins are at least double as funny/interesting if you know who the persons are who threw them into the fountain.

these Goldcoins feature the most popular/well known warcraft characters. the silver coins feature some of the most known supporting actors of warcraft lore. the bronze coins feature some better known quest characters or minor supporting characters

Why should I throw it back in? It's mine now! Buahaha!

Kommentar von 82808

Most of these characters seem to be mages who probably have studied or whatever they did in Dalaran. (Jaina, Kel'Thuzad, Kael'thas,...)

Other ones are simply very important characters, or had something to do with Dalaran (like Archimond and Arthas crushing it)

Kommentar von 106166

The title of this achievement is probably a reference to the gold rush, and there have been many a quote in western-movies along the lines of "There's gold in that there mountain".

Kommentar von 33238

Does anyone know if you get anything for the /use besides throwing the coin back in the fountain and saving bag space?

Kommentar von Stavan

It really is a shame that Illidan doesn't have a coin, probably would have said "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED" though. Oh well.

Kommentar von Arno00

You can find these in the Fountain next to the South Dalaran Bank (There is a Fishing trainer next to it)

Those have an use option to throw it back like : Anduin Wrynn's Gold Coin
You can throw it away with no remorse, cause it will count in your achievement when you catch it. (if you don't want to keep it ... it's useless :p)

So try to throw it back you will get a 2minute buff : Lucky
This buf increase your chances to catch coins in the fountain :
For 6 catches, i got 3 silver coins, 1 bronze and 2 fishes with this buff.
That's not a great increase ... since you get silver coins very often.

Kommentar von Sulticune

Nobody has said where the fountain actually is... It's in The Eventide zone, in the south of Dalaran. Right near the Grand Master Fishing Trainer.

Kommentar von 250997

The fountain is at 52,65. You must have 430 in fishing or better to fish there.

Kommentar von 173862

After reading all these coins and knowing what happend..I've learned a very important lesson..DO NOT Make a wish from this fountain..It's evil...EVIL!

Kommentar von Danyi

The drop(fishup)rates on these are presumably all equal, however in my experience, I've been going at it for quite a while now, they are not quite the same

My Waterloo remains Lady Katrana Prestor, who's Coin I have never seen yet.
It's the only one I still need, and it's kinda frustrating, knowing I fished up Chromie's Gold Coin 13 times. They should be same rate. For some reason, I don't think they are.

Kommentar von Whiterock

Did you checked the vendor sell price of the coins? 1c-62c; 1s-62c; 1g-1s25c
So, if a simple footman scribe some text on copper coin and drop it there, the coin will worth 62 times more!
But if a king scribe the text on silver coin, the value of coin will be decreased by 38%!
Also look at poor gold coins they loose 98,75% after some Arthas or Jaina scribe on it.

Kommentar von 297559

Chrommie's one of the three I'm short.

I've seen Prestor multiple times.

I'm wondering if drop rate has anything to do with the time of day you chose to fish? I fish around 2 to 5 a.m. PST

Kommentar von ryokuga

I LOL'd at Arthas' wish :D Be careful what you wish for damn it! You might get a frozen scone and more! (frozen backside after 4? years sitting on frozen throne, Soul Plane anybody? Ice on ass :p )

Kommentar von Dannz

What happened to Arthas' Wish:

One Day, Arthas Checks his email...
Hello, this is the Northrend Division of the "Make a Wish" Foundation, trying to contact a Mr. Arthas.
We're sorry, but your wish has been misinterpreted by our wish-answering machine.
if you have any issues, Please call 1-800-Plz-NoSu!

Thank you, and Please come again!

Arthas: The hell... ohhh! Those Bastards!

Kommentar von 308217

Been stuck for the last 2 hours with Brann, Thrall, Lady Katrana, and Tirion. Can't seem to get them, though I've honestly seen Arugal's coin more than any other.

I do love Archimonde's though.

"I wish to know how you survived my wrath, little fountain."

Kommentar von 313515

Kel'Thuzad's coin:
"Sometimes...I wish someone would come along and just give me a big, long hug."
Don't we all, Kel?

Kommentar von 314272

I've been trying to fish up Arthas' Gold Coin for 2 weeks! it's really frustrating to see that everyone gets him all the time. it really supports the equal percentage drop theory posted previously. each person has their personal elusive coin.

Kommentar von 276238

I've been fishing for 2 hours... Have every single coin except for Kel'Thuzad's... God damn ^&*!ing RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR I WILL KILL YOU!

Kommentar von Psyblade1st

Blizzard: Fountain is working as intended.

Kommentar von Zazkia

I ran a simulation of catching gold coins. It assumes each gold coin has a drop chance of 0.3%. Below it shows how many times you have to cast your fishing rod until you have gotten them all:

Average #casts to catch 1 coins: 22.1665
Average #casts to catch 2 coins: 46.2781
Average #casts to catch 3 coins: 71.7893
Average #casts to catch 4 coins: 99.5654
Average #casts to catch 5 coins: 129.6976
Average #casts to catch 6 coins: 162.8086
Average #casts to catch 7 coins: 199.765
Average #casts to catch 8 coins: 241.32
Average #casts to catch 9 coins: 288.1125
Average #casts to catch 10 coins: 344.1272
Average #casts to catch 11 coins: 411.7212
Average #casts to catch 12 coins: 496.0328
Average #casts to catch 13 coins: 605.9309
Average #casts to catch 14 coins: 772.3427
Average #casts to catch 15 coins: 1105.5284

Conclusion: you'll spend a lot of quality time in Dalarin before you'll finally catch that last coin!

Kommentar von 282269

I used the drop rates from www.elsanglin.com/dalaran_fishing.html#fountain (6.2% unbuffed, 9.9% buffed), did some fancy spreadsheet work, and came up with the following:

50% chance of collecting all 15 coins within 596 casts
75% chance within 761 casts
90% chance within 952 casts

This assumes your fishing skill is high enough to never get "Your coin got away!", that you use gold coins to get the Lucky buff whenever possible, and can maintain an average 2.5 casts/minute.

Kommentar von Laugas

For those of you that are too lazy to hover your mouse over the coins above, like I am.

Anduin Wrynn's Gold Coin: I wish I could grow up, it feels like I've been 10 for years.
Arthas' Gold Coin: Already, I've a kingdom in my prospects, a land to rule. What to ask for? Perhaps a frozen scone...
Brann Bronzebeard's Gold Coin: Brann Bronzebeard was here.
Kel'Thuzad's Gold Coin: Sometimes... I just wish someone would come along and give me a big, long hug.
Lady Katrana Prestor's Gold Coin: Listen, little wishing fountain. You'll give me all your power if you know whats good for you.
Sylvanas Windrunner's Gold Coin: I hope my sisters and I can grow up and get married together. This coin appears to be very old.
Thrall's Gold Coin: Grom, may you rest well, old friend.
Uther Lightbringer's Gold Coin: Young Arthas must learn patience to temper his power. I pray that he one day learns how to lead with care rather than force.
Archimonde's Gold Coin: I wish to know how you survived my wrath, little fountain.
Arugal's Gold Coin: I wish someday to retire to my own tidy little estate, with a bunch of pet dogs to keep me company.
Chromie's Gold Coin: Just once, I wish someone would greet me without making a stupid joke about gnomes or time travel.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore's Gold Coin: Arthas, my love, please come back to me
Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider's Gold Coin: That young apprentice Jaina is quite attractive for a human. I hope she recognizes my elegance and power.
Teron's Gold Coin: Wishes are a fool's pastime. Take this coin as payment for your precious Eye.
Tirion Fordring's Gold Coin: It is my wish that my dear Taelan will grow strong enough to defend the people he cares for.

Obtained after 425 casts.

You receive the Titanium Seal of Dalaran instantly in the mail.

Kommentar von 327349

At it for 2 hours now, only missing Lady Jaina's and Uther Lightbringer's. Looks like it very random on which one's prove to be the hard one's to get. Lost track of casts but I go in with 450 base fishing, the "Big Iron Fishing Pole" +20 fishing, and I use "bright baubles" +75 fishing, I never get "fish got away". I hope the coin master is worth it. We'll see.

Kommentar von Vollstrecker

Been stuck on Jaina Proudmoore for days. I suppose it's only fitting that she remains the biggest c-block in the history of Warcraft.

Some of them are.. Special.. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=43633 :P

Kommentar von arcanuslink

Theres a stupit bug OR my W.o.W data files just corrupted,

Come on! No Saurfang coin? At least put a cleaved in two gold coin and make us all happy!

Kommentar von 357352

I'm up to 1300 casts in this fountain and I'm only missing Arugal's Gold Coin. This thing just won't drop. I won't quit trying though.

Kommentar von 357352

Ha! Got it today! A grand total of 1306 casts. Here's the breakdown (for me anyway):

627 Fountain Goldfish (48%)
73 Bent Fishing Hooks (5.6%)
58 Sewer Carps (4.4%)
15 Magic Eaters (1.1%)
14 Sickly Fish (1.1%)
12 Tangled Fishing Lines (0.9%)
11 Weeds (0.8%)
10 Tattered Cloth (0.8%)
9 Driftwood (0.7%)
1 Leaded Vial (0.1%)
1 Empty Vial (0.1%)
1 Rock (0.1%)
1 Reinforced Crate (0.1%)

239 Copper Coins (18.3%)
155 Silver Coins (11.9%)
79 Gold Coins (6%)

My advice?..... Don't give up!

Kommentar von 368544

The chance of fishing up a Gold coin is approximately 1%, which means that you should catch at least 1 Gold coin for every 100 casts you make.

The likelihood of catching any single gold coin in particular is 0.06% or 1% divided by 15.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Plagueblade

So, throwing a gold coin into the fountain increases your chances of getting lucky? ;)

Kommentar von ArgentSun

For those of us/you who don't dwell into the Lore of the world too much, here is a brief explanation of what those coins say:

Anduin Wrynns Goldmünze - Anduin Wrynn is King Varian Wrynn's son. For the entire duration of Vanilla WoW and The Burning Crusade (and even now in WotLK), his model has been one of a 10 years old boy.
Archimondes Goldmünze - Archimonde obliterated the entire city of Dalaran when he was summoned by Kel'Thuzad. Apparently the fountain survived.
Arthas' Goldmünze - He must have mispronounced "scone". Instead of English biscuit or bread, Arthas received a Frozen Throne - his seat of power in Northrend.
Arugals Goldmünze - Arugal was a mage of Kirin Tor, who desperate after Dalaran's destruction by the Scourge, used Das Buch von Ur and other materials by the magician Ur (who had extensive research on the Worgen) to summon help from a different dimension. But it was no help he summoned - it was the savage Worgen, who slaughtered not only Arugal's Scourge enemies, but his Kirin Tor friends as well. Mad with guild he adopted the wolf-people and took permanent residence in the Shadowfang Keep...
Brann Bronzebarts Goldmünze - Disregarding the real-life pun of these words, Brann, the most famous explorer in Azeroth apparently could not resist the temptation to mark Dalaran and its fountain as just another place he visited in his journeys.
Chromies Goldmünze - Chromie is actually a Bronze dragon called Chronormu, who takes the form of a female gnome. The coin probably refers to the vast number of jokes about gnomes, and the Bronze dragons' ability to time travel.
Kel'Thuzads Goldmünze - Kel'Thuzad was a Kirin Tor mage, sent in exile because of his experiments with necromancy. Later on he became an Arch Lich and one of the leaders of the Scourge - one of the greatest villains Azeroth has known in centuries. All of this because he wanted a hug...
Lady Jaina Prachtmeers Goldmünze - Plain and simple. Jaina Proudmoore, present ruler of Theramore, mage of Kirin Tor, and friend of Thrall had a love affair with Arthas Menethil, prince of Lordaeron back then. Even as Arthas started sliding down the path, and turning into a Death Knight and Lich King, Jaina's love persisted.
Lady Katrana Prestors Goldmünze - Lady Katrana Prestor, the human disguise of Deathwing's daughter Onyxia was well known for her hunger for power and subtle threats... Messing with a wishing fountain was too much for her however.
Prinz Kael'thas Sonnenwanderers Goldmünze - Although the coin mentions Prince Kael'thas' Sunstrider's affection for Jaina Proudmoore when she was a young apprentice in Dalaran, the real point of this coin is probably making fun of the stereotypical image of narcissistic elves, to which Kael'thas belongs.
Sylvanas Windläufers Goldmünze - Alleria, Vereesa, and Sylvanas were the three famous Windrunner ranger sisters. Their sisterly love for each other was unimagined, and the centuries they had lived only served to amplify it. Currently Alleria is lost on another world, Vereesa leads a faction of High Elves, and Sylvanas is the Banshee Queen of the Forsaken. Hopefully the three are not lost to each other for an eternity, and Sylvanas' dream can come true.
Terons Goldmünze - Teron Gorefiend was a member of Gul'dan's Shadow Council, and a powerful warlock of the First Horde. After his death, he was raised as a Death Knight in human body. The Eye referenced in the coin is the Eye of Dalaran, a powerful artifact Gorefiend stole from Dalaran, so his new master - Ner'zhul - can open more dimensional rifts from Draenor to Azeroth.
Thralls Goldmünze - Grom Hellscream was an orc chieftain Thrall aspired to during his rise to power. Grom died in battle, defeating the demon Mannoroth, thus freeing the orcs from the demonic taint that burned their blood. Thrall never forgot his sacrifice.
Tirion Fordrings Goldmünze - Typical wish from the paladin Tirion Fordring, regarding his son Taelan. His death was the main reason Tirion decided to come out from hiding and re-form the Order of the Silver Hand, he himself becoming one of the most powerful paladins in Azeroth.
Uther Lichtbringers Goldmünze - Uther Lightbringer was a mighty paladin, teacher of Arthas Menethil in the arts of not only service of the Light, but morals and combat, when the prince of Lordaeron was a young boy and a teenager. Uther knew Arthas to be a little passionate for a paladin, but hoped that the future Lich King will develop determination and courage, instead of cruelty. His hopes were in vain...
