For those horde-side, Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=19022) is a better alternative. It doesn't have the +51 stamina (who needs that on a fishing pole, anyway?) ~~but it has +25 fishing.~~ For the Alliance, however, this is a perfect fishing pole.

As for the actual mob, they're quite easy to kill. Took me maybe 10 seconds to kill one, maybe less. They also drop Motes of Water pretty easily (I got one almost every kill), so good to farm if you're looking for Primal Water.

Drop on the quest item sucked for me, though. About 1 in eight.

EDIT: The Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 was actually nerfed years later in Wrath of the Lich King patch 3.1. It now only gives +20 fishing, meaning it is now equivalent to this fishing pole. Horde players no longer get an advantage in fishing skill. ~~It also, for some reason, is now no longer disenchantable and only sells to vendors for an entire 7 copper.~~

I really wonder what must go through the minds of the people working at Blizzard to think almost four years after a fishing pole was added that they need to nerf it.

EDIT 2: Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 was changed, again. It now sells for 2g85s80c and is disenchantable again.

This was totally easy and although the reward is only good if you having the fishing skill, the XP is definitely worth it. The drop rate was good - took me about 15 minutes to do the quest and the kills were easy. (lvl 65 fire mage)

Комментарий от 1202

This is a pretty heavily farmed area since the eels drop motes of water, so be warned there might be a lot of traffic that makes it take longer to get your quest drops.

You 'Have' to be lvl 62+ to be eligible for this quest?

Комментарий от Atsuma

yep requirement = lvl 62

Комментарий от 80513

Dont be in group when you do this Quest else the eal's never drop.

Комментарий от Cathari

Are there any pre-reqs for this quest? I've visited Seth a couple times, and he doesn't have a quest for me. My fishing is in the 250 area, do I maybe need to have Master Fishing first?

Комментарий от Robotusch

While this may seem like an easy quest, lower level players on PvP servers might run into problems with lvl 70 players grinding the eels for mote of water. Given that well-geared level 70 players can 2-3 shot these, the lake might not be big enough for 2-3 players at the same time. At least that's what a level 70 hunter felt in my level 64 paladins case...

Комментарий от Shivacode

What's sad is the level 70s grinding this lake have access to mobs with better droprates on mote of water. At the very least they should be spending time grinding Muck Spawns in Nagrand, barely any HP and vulnerable to frost like these guys plus good droprate on water motes.

Anyways, new char on a low-pop server, did this at 2AM, just me in the lake. Got a primal in the process. While the droprate for the quest item is just about as bad as the Zangarmarsh eel grind fest, since you actually get items of value (particularly water motes) from these guys you aren't as buggered.

Комментарий от rzzr

I was able to get the quest with no rep with Lower City.

Комментарий от Krakatau

Pole still cant beat Nat Pagle's pole for the pros. :)

Комментарий от 110623

Ok who knows where i can find this lake? i cant understans nothin in the map but my fisching is already 150. Who can gives me cordinate

Комментарий от r0b126

Drank a 60 min water breathing potion in jumped in the lake with 0/8 scales

At 50 min left on the potion had 8/8 scales.

64 rogue, average encounter was 4.5 seconds.

very easy quest

Комментарий от 105870

Note*

If you are a Tailor / Blacksmith or Leatherworker ... and you raised your profession up to 350 (by example at level 63) then is this place good for farming Mote of Water ... 18% Droprate that's surely not bad for those Eels who you can kill in 2 Shadowbolts. I should say it's easy xp farming them and you get the Mote's you allways wanted. Also Elemental Fragment drops each kill ... A stack of those goes for 2g37s at the Vendor (Grey Trash)

Have fun and good luck

Комментарий от 45512

I think they may have fixed the drop rate on this -- I was done in nine minutes flat (nagrand cherry as my timer), and this is with low mana as a Prot Paladin (i.e., no DPS). I certainly didn't have to kill 60 of them.

Комментарий от 100148

Same here - warlock water breathing had plenty to go, and picked up 7 motes. In all about 25 kills total to get the needed 8. While this is really not an upgrade from the iron pole (both +20), it will let you put the iron up on the AH for some gold (my server they sell upwards of 75g+).

Комментарий от 45715

You will most possibly be attacked in this area seeing as it's a favoured farming spot for Primal Water. Take care, before you know it, some level 70 lock is gonna sneak up behind you. Or what might be even worse :P

Комментарий от 123516

24,12 that big lake,
called slymir lake,
so friken e-z eels have 3000-3200 hp lol
dropped every 2-3
hunters use track beast!!! will help so much, this little eels are sumtihmes hard to find, if u dont find a well-populated area in the lake

Комментарий от 120618

For those of you who don't fish like me and your wondering if this is even worth the trouble. the short answer is Yes and here is why

1. The pond is right out side Shatt so little travel time
2. Easy to kill like the others have said
3. Drop rate is about 1 in 3 so 30% not bad

and the number 1 reason why you should do this quest money

here is my total cash for a mere 10-15mins work

Grey Trash
x 5 = 66s 25c
x 19 = 2g 25s 15c
x 1 = 63s 13c

AH Loot
x 3 = avg ah sale 3-6g
x6 = avg ah sale 8g

Fishing pole 5g 1s 77c

Total gold for 10mins work = 19-22g

So don't miss out on some easy cash :)

Комментарий от 106545

Definitely pick off-hours to run this quest. On my server at least (Area 52) it can be a bit mobbed with low to mid-60s grinding for motes waiting on a BG queue or something.

Drop rate is pretty sour, but at least the vendor trash and Motes are decent amount of cash from the time you spend killing.

I did this quest so that I could sell my Big Iron Fishing Pole. I got about 20g for it...

Комментарий от 148662

I can't pick up this quest?

I speak to Seth, but he has no quest for me?

I am lvl 70, I am Aldor and 315 fishing.

Anyone figured out why some of us can't do this quest?

Комментарий от Bempo

The drop rate for me on 01 June 2008 was about 1 pristine shimmerscale eels for every 15 shimmerscale eels killed at the lake location 40,12, but still easy kills (lvl 70) just round up 4 or 5 then kill them all.

Комментарий от 161365

Actualy they can be one shot crittet by a destro lock hehe, but have same prob, im 70 exlatet and have 375 in fishing, still cant get q ^^

Комментарий от 167561

It'll seem really impossible earlier. But after a while the drop rate gets better.
The other characters in the water aren't too annoying.
PS - If you're a hunter, Track Beast is absolutely amazingly useful.
O.<

Комментарий от Tribunal

If you were in Zangermash before Terokkar (which many people are), and you do one of the quest that gives you the Potion of Water Breathing (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=25539), don't just throw it away when you're done.

It comes in handy for this quest. Makes killing all the eels much faster, without having to buy one of the regular potions, or find someone to bless you.

Комментарий от 195392

What the heck? I can't pick up the quest, and I'm lvl 70 with 250 fishing

Комментарий от BMHunter

I like the pole from Hinterlands better. If you deleted it and completed the quest you can contact a game master they can restore it for you, but its up to them if they will.

The quest was really easy and there wasnt even any need for underwater breathing for me. Was the easiest underwater quest I've done.

I don't like the quest though because it set in my quest log until almost lvl 68. I wasnt even going to do it because I didn't understand the quest. Its so misleading. The name and the quest text implies that you would be fishing for get the eels. I tried fishing for a long time when I first got the quest with no luck, so I killed some and after a dozen kills still didn't get any.

After reading this page I went back and tried it just for the XP and finially finished it.

They need to reword the quest to make it a bit more clear. It really does sound like a fishing quest, not a drop quest. I guess I don't understand how an eel can drop another eel, but anyway.

Комментарий от Dusktide

droprate for me today was 8/18 = 44%

edit: i dont even have the fishing skill

Комментарий от 246360

I have recently tried this quest for half an hour and nuffin has droped so i abandoned it!

Комментарий от 47813

Today I went to Shattrath in search for the NPC questgiver, and found out that I already did the quest (months ago) but threw away the fishing pole.
I opened a ticket to a GM, and logged out.
When I got back I checked the mailbox and there was a mail from the customer support.. basically they said that they checked and I really don't have that quest reward, so they sent it to me ^^

Комментарий от Lamor

Got it done in about 5 minutes ( ate a Nagrand Cherry before starting) drop rate isnt too bad, maybe 1/5, i'd say there's about enough eels in that lake to get all 8 before having to wait for a respawn.

Комментарий от fatality327

Do I need to have any preq for this? My fishing is at 285 trained for Master Fisherman and I still can't get this quest. I will open a GM ticket for the meantime but is there something I need to do before to get this quest?

Комментарий от ihateblizzdev

I really wonder what must go through the minds of the people working at Blizzard to think almost four years after a fishing pole was added that they need to nerf it.

Very little, it seems.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Its in Terrokar forrest the lake above shattrath city. 42,13

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I speak to Seth, but he has no quest ... why is that?

I am Aldor - lvl 70 - 315 fishing

I need that fishing pole :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I went there now. The lake is filled with Eels and I ended up killing about 20-25 before I got my eight Pristines. The Eels got very low HP, so all in all I think it took maybe 20 minutes solo. (65 arms/fury warrior)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

One of the worst drop rates experienced in the game. Took 15 kills to get 1 drop.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Was a surprise to find it quite easy 100% on first 6 kills final lot was 50% RESULT.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The eels swim around in the lake, go in and kill, after killing enough for 4 people, we ended up with about a 16% drop rate.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Honestly, the drop rate is ok... not good, but ok. However it took me 15 minutes to finish the quest. In that 15 minutes i got one primal water so i stayed until my cherry imbiber wore off and got another primal water.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

come on blizz, nat pagle is +25 this is +20. make it worthwhile and not just more vendor trash...ugh, still coords blow are pefect, took 5 mins.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

well, I started this quest as a 63 rogue, Thought I had to get my fishing skill up to do this, and went and got it to 225 then realized (after looking at this site) That I had to kill things...

So, I went to kill them, and jumped right in, having 5 aggro me at once. I magically killed em all....idk how, my stormshoud armor is not the best there is, but I suppose its b/c these guys are WEAK. Anyway, every single one of them dropped the Pristine Shimmerscale Eel. I was like this is going to be simple, but I was wrong. After killing about 100 more there were still no more drops. Is this a glitch, or do I still need to slaughter these guys endlessly? So far Ive gotten around 66,000 xp just off these guys...even went to my bank to make sure I didnt have any there like I have done once before on another quest.

If its the quest and not the game, goodluck to all who try it

Комментарий от Allakhazam

38,9 Is Correct...... lake at the very top of the map near shattrath... to the east of it. the fish are in the lake...

doing this quest as we speak... and my drop rate is around ..16% pretty bad. i keep getting elemental fragments or something .. I did get a level 59 mail chest tho on 2nd kill ^_^

Edited, Feb 16th 2007 8:16pm by CJMaster

EDIT: that quest was torture took like an hour to get all 8. or maybe 1 1/2 hours. >.<;;;

Edited, Feb 16th 2007 9:16pm by CJMaster

Coords are correct 39,10.

Shimmerscale Eels

41.40 very easy q for UD Rogue

Комментарий от Allakhazam

very nice quest did it in 8 minutes :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Quest was worth doing it for me for sure!

Got all eels in 12 minutes, they dropped about 70% for me! Also got 9 pieces of Mote of water which makes it even more worth doing it :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

39,10, NOT 31,11. Its the top lake.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

They are in the lake, that goes from 36.3 - 42.14

It seems, I was lucky. I got 8 pristines from 15 eels

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I thought you had to fish the eels from the lake. I spent about 5 mins fishing. I was beginning to wonder if I was in the right location when I saw the eels in the lake.

The reward doesn't really have better fishing stats than Nat Pagle's fishing pole.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

well just did this quest 13 kills 8 eels and 2 motes of water...took all of 10 minutes.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

only one lake.
31,11

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Mote of water drop as fast as the eels do!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

38,9 confirmed. Easy quest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

For me this was a nice peaceful leisurely quest. Pleasant. (the eels aggro now and then but they are not hard hitters)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Well, apart from the fact that last night there was a 70 gnome lock kicking about, and today a human mage, ganking me 3 times it was and okay drop rate, i got 8/24 which is 33%, nice quest, easy peasy lemon squeasy.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I tried fishing for 8 minutes and no luck..

Seems the fish are to be 'killed' in the middle of the lake.. another collection / farm quest lol

39, 11 is correct

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Pretty easy quest. The fishing pole isn't as nice as my Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 but if you don't have one this is a good quest to do.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

37.5 or the lake up Shattrath is the place you need to go.

The other coord u gave is in the middle of a camp with tons of orcs... no fishies in that lake

So I confirm 37,5 good loc for the Eels...and you need to kill them also

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The reward is the same as a Big Iron Fishing Pole, just does more damage when you are minding your own business fishing, and something decides to jump you for NO reason. With this, you can woop on them better!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

yep 38,9 and I had about a 70% drop too

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It took my lvl 69 lock 15 minutes to do this quest. I killed about 40 eels; almost the entire lake full before they started to regen. That equates to a 20% drop rate. I love these people that get 100% and 50% drop rates. It could mean one of three things. Either they are the luckiest bast#$@ds ever or they suck at math or they are full of $@*#.

Coords are confirmed. 38,9 or there about.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I don't know about my drop 'rate' but I know this... I killed some reasonable number (didn't seem painful) I had my scales and 9 motes of water. Killed three more and got the 10th to make my primal. Nice bonus methinks.

Eruanna - Earthen Ring

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got 8 out of 12.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

8 minutes

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Me and a guildie did the quest quite easily. the drop rate was fair but the motes of water were a benefit. Elixer of Major Frost Power (x2, , ) for the frost mage. i got 12 motes through the entire quest

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had a 40% drop rate

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The lake is right by Shattrath City. In between it and Zangarmarsh. Or see cords below.

The eels are fairly easy, as a prot war, I never stopped to rest, maybe 10-20 seconds chasing after the next eel inbetween fights. I ran a 60% droprate for the quest item. All in all one of the easiest outland quests I've done, since its so close to town.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

discovered this quest while looking up about the stranglethorn fishing tournement

drop rate wasn't to bad about 26 kills for the 8 but had a whole primal water as well for my efforts :P

its the same lake as where old man barlo gives the fishing daily quests as of patch 2.4

yes the pole from stranglethorn is better but this one still gets the job done while you attempt to win it

5g 16s at lvl 70

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This was suprisingly easy. I got it done at level 62 mage in 15 minutes, tops. But I do recommend an underwater breathing potion. I popped one when I started and came up only twice to drink. It also got me away from a level 70 Horde that was hanging around the lake.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

20 posts about the possible drop rates and another 20 with location... Come on people, don't post if don't have anything useful to say.

Oscarius, I was able to get the quest on both 300 fishing Aldor and 13 fishing Scryer. Don't think it has anything to do with either of those reputations.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

what would be usefull is where u can get them?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

quick and easy, 12 kills to get the 8

Комментарий от GhostGhost

The mobs these drop off of are farmed 24/7 on my server by bots.

I would reccomend skipping this quest on populated realms this can take forever and for certain classes being underwater fighting is really difficult.

Комментарий от Someguy123

I simply cant do the quest - there so many hunter bots that farm them, it is impossible to do the quest :(

Комментарий от 256124

The mobs you need to kill are in the lake just northeast from Shattrath, if you take the lower city tunnel near the quest giver and stay to the left you will reach it.

I did this quest just now and I'm on a busy server, this lake was ridiculously congested and as a slow melee class there's no way you can get to mobs and tag them before other players.

What worked well for me was sitting in an underwater recess on the right hand side of the lake near the shore. There is a spawn point here and mobs will drop directly on top of you making them easy to tag as they will spawn in melee range.
