Наитупейший квест, я его так и не доделал. Плывёшьв озеро там кусты.. с кустов может выплыть либо шпион/водолаз либо краб.. ну и конечно же самое маловероятно что выпадет квестовый моб, после того как выплыли из-за кустов их надо будет убить.. перевалил всё озеро, выпало всего 4 рыбки.. хотя мб это на везение. Тем более посмотрел что дают за него 12к.. хотя наврятли.. но всёравно столько париться из-за 12к )

Сделал довольно быстро, когда понял где искать!

На мелководье: вдоль берега и около квестгивера в основном появляются крабы и шпионы-водолазы.
Надо искать на середине озера, там где поглубже!
Там же и следующий квест выполняется. ;)

Комментарий от 456040

На глубоководье, примерно 66-20, из 9 кустов - 4 краба, 5 рыбы

Комментарий от 235807

Ищем самое глубокое место в озере (2-3 куста) - лут рыбы 100%
P.S.: Далее получаем доступ к квесту Та самая рыбка, за выполнение которого дают 20100 опыта) to Sarmat

Комментарий от Ivangrok

Необходимые для задания Северные рыбы-шипы падают с одноименных рыб, которые появляются при использовании расположенных по дну водяных деревьев (при использовании которых также могут появиться Холдомирские крепкохваты и Шпионы Отрекшихся)
P.S. Не забывайте, что вы не в Вайш'ире, и ваш персонаж не может вечно дышать под водой.

Комментарий от SeregaCh

По моему не зависит от глубины. У меня получилось наборот, все 5 рыб вылезли из кустов около берега. В центре озера сплошные крабы и водолазы.

Just in case you didn't *quite* get the quest, try jumping into the lake he is fishing in. You should see some "water plants". They will sparkle the same way a chest or other quest objective does.

Interacting with the water plants will cause a Forsaken Spy, a Caldemere Snapper, or a Northern Barbfish to spawn. What you want to spawn is the northern barbfish. It seems there is a 33.33~% chance for either of the three to spawn. Luckily there is a 100% drop rate - if a northern barbfish spawns, after you kill it and loot it it you have 100% chance at getting a northern barbfish in your bag.

Комментарий от thelaks

Wasn't 33% for me....about 70% snapper, 20% spy, 10% fish. Won't be doing that one again.

Комментарий от 21836

don't do this quest

Комментарий от 15528

By my estimations, there was 1 Barbfish for every 3-5 plants, so it's right along the 33% chance here.

However, factor in the swim time and need for breathing and you have yourself a pretty long quest. If you're trying to speed-quest, this is one to skip.

Комментарий от 88783

I must have just killed about 30 crabs and Forsaken spies put together until the first fish spawned from the water plant. Enjoy your grind.

Комментарий от 184526

Completed in about 10min, without using any kind of pots or buffs. Being melee, you can just swim backwards toward the next plant while killing whichever mob spawned. Longest I went without a fish spawning was 4 plants (2 crabs, 1 forsaken, then the fish).

Комментарий от Chanticrow

After the third barbfish I noticed that they were appearing from plants right next to rocks. I started only beating plants next to rocks, and had only two additional spawns other than barbfish. These were times that there were two plants next to the rocks, and it was always on the second plant that I got a non-barbfish.

This seems kind of crazy though. Maybe I just got lucky on the rolls.

Someone want to give this a try and confirm or refute this?

Комментарий от Spasticon

The drop rate on this quest is really irritating, mostly because it has to be done entirely underwater where movement is very slow.

By the time I finished I had killed:

7 Northern Barbfish
5 Forsaken Spy
20 Caldemerre Snapper

Комментарий от 246475

Now that was a aweful quest, too low droprate, and if it's crowded, don't even considering doing it ! If empty lake, then maybe, if you have the stamina for it

Комментарий от 64829

took 8 minutes no one around though...

Комментарий от shockwaver

Simple way of doing it as a mage. Blink out at the moment you finish attacking the plant. If there is crab or spy, ignore it. If there is a fish you are at the right spot to attack it. Didn't take more than 5 minutes this way.

Комментарий от 90582

Very frustrating quest, not worth the time or effort imo.

Комментарий от 200529

Wow they really need to check their lake if there is spies lol.

Комментарий от 281261

As a hunter I dismissed my pet and dropped a freezing trap. If the plant didn't drop a fish I moved off to another plant and feigned. Rinse and repeat to get the fish within a reasonable time.

It took me only 10-15 min to finish with no unnecessary fights. I can't confirm any different drop rate based on locations of the plants. It was about 50% crabs 25% fish and 25% forsaken.

Комментарий от 285424

I am currently doing this quest and I have to say that my rate of getting a fish to appear is absolutely terrible. I have gotten one fish per 10-12 plants. That means that I'll have to search between 70-84 plants to find 7 darn fish. I don't think this quest is worth doing at all.

Комментарий от bbeckley

Poor drop rates, i would suggest skipping the quest if your trying to level fast, and come back later when you have time, or want to work on the acomplishment for the fjord

Комментарий от 133340

As pretty much has pointed out, the spawn rate of fish is absolutely horrible. After like 20 minutes, I had pretty much ready to drop the quest. If you're going to do this quest, my only recommendation is to stick with the plants near the quest giver as much as possible. If you don't get a fish, run ashore and let the guards kill the mob, loop right back around and start hitting another plant, while the guards take care of the trash.

Комментарий от mrdummy

Here it goes well, enough fish spawned. Low chance of spy (funny to find a spy in plants) or crab.

Комментарий от Farrar

Great quest thanks to tip from Chanticrow, this and the next quest took less than 10 mins all in (second nagrand cherry hadn't run out), great XP nice and fast, just pick off the plants by the rocks.

Комментарий от Xarlequin

The fish are random, it dosn't matter if the plants are close to the rocks or not. I had luck while I did this quest and finnished pretty quickly.
Sure, it can be a really mean quest, but you get exp from killing the mobs if your unlucky - and exp is what matters so dont go feeling sad if your not getting luck with the fish.

Комментарий от MackStaples

There is an interesting issue with the NPCs spawned in this quest: they can all drown. Yes, drown.

This applies to all three of the possible spawns, the Forsaken Spy, the Caldemere Snapper, and the Northern Barbfish. Just root them (trap and fear probably work, too), and leave them alone. Takes about a minute.

This may not be the most useful information, but it's funny to just root the spawns, move on to more plants, and go back in a minute once the NPC has drowned. The corpses are lootable if they die in this manner.

Комментарий от Staticforce

This quest seems to be part of the prerequisites for March of the Giants and The Book of Runes.

I skipped it initially because the spawn rate was frustrating, and neither of the questgivers had those quests. I completed this quest, lo and behold, I could get both the quests.

Комментарий от 302653

need to take 50 Water Plants to get all 7!

Комментарий от 129453

I got fourteen Forsaken Spies, eleven Caldemere Snappers and (of course) seven Nothern Barbfish. The drop rate sucks (especially seeing as eight of those spies and five snappers showed up before I got my hands on even ONE barbfish), but it's a pretty easy quest. There doesn't seem to be anything freely lurking in the water, other then what you summon from the water plants, so it's a pretty safe quest.

Also, quick note-- If you're doing the Down to the Wire quest, I found that the best place to find these feathers is just north of the lake, along the shore line. I finished this quest as I finished the barbed fish one.

Комментарий от 156308

I had done this quest as pretty much everyone else had, getting terrible drop rates. I went to do it on my second character and read through the posts here first. The one from Chanticrow about getting better drop rates from plants right by rocks seems to be dead on. I went from 15% drop rate last time to 7 of 9 plants being Northern Barbfish. And those 2 were Spys and from second plants by a rock. It may have just been luck with the RNG, but it seems a few people have had similar results. If more people could try this and post it would help clarify the theory.

Комментарий от ysalimiri

2 hours after staring this quest and several full circuits of the lake killing ridiculous amouts of mobs, i still have not got 1 barbfish to drop, the quest has been abandoned and accepted 3 times, its either bugged or i'm the unluckiest person playing this game

Комментарий от 206346

I noticed alot of comments say percents, that they spawn better here than, and lastly skip the quest. I have now done this quest on 7 chars. The first 2 times I got them 9 plants and 11. Every time since then it has take at least 40 and I have gone 100+ once also. I have taken notes on each plant I did and have not seen any difference in percentage by where the plants were located. I'd say the drop rates are : Caldemere Snapper 60%, Forsaken Spy 25%, and Northern Barbfish 15%. All in all, this quest sucks, but I disagree with skipping it. If you do not complete this quest you fail to get its follow up, The One That Got Away. This will cost you the xp of two quest which you'll have to make up later.

Good Luck ;)
May the Northern Barbfish fall for you everytime!

Cristopher Sloan... The book Eragon was written buy a dude named Cristopher and in the book there is a charcter named Sloan...

Комментарий от MarsJenkar

From what I'm reading here, the chance of a Forsaken Spy is either higher than or equal to the chance of getting a Northern Barbfish. If you ask me, that ain't right. Forsaken Spy should be an occasional surprise, because after the second one it's lost any novelty it had, and stretches my suspension of disbelief to the limit. Alliance counterintelligence can't be *that* bad.

Комментарий от Carnagefiend

If you do not complete this quest; 3 questlines, starting with March of the Giants, The Book of Runes, and The Enigmatic Frost Nymphs, will not become available.

This is absolutely incorrect. Down to the Wire activates these quests, not this fishing one.

Skip it.

EDIT: Why is this voted down? Because I suggested you skip it and save yourself the trouble of this quest and its follow-up? This quest does not activate the series of quests lottimer claims it does, yet I get voted down?

Комментарий от Obolon

The spawn rate for fish was great for me. 7 fish, 2 crabs, 2 divers.

Комментарий от 47217

i believe they changed this quest in the last patch, upping the drop rate, and lowering the number required (from 8 i think, down to 5), very nice!

Комментарий от Hwang

Looks like they probably did up the drop rate, previous two toons took forever to do this quest. I just did it and got all 5 fish in 5 picks, which is probably lucky, but indicative of an increased drop rate. In fact, it almost took me longer to type this than the quest itself took.

Комментарий от 89636

Took me 8 plants to finish the quest. No question about it: upped the drop rate.

Worth doing? Absolutely. This chain was completed in less than 10 minutes and it gave over 30k exp.

Комментарий от rogueyay

just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

Yeah, for me it went like this...

Forsaken Spy

Needless to say, it took a while.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

All you do is jump off the dock swim around for Water Plants, and you have to get alot every 4th or so one had the fish. you will kill crabs and spy's and get the fish you need

Комментарий от tebtengri

I'd much rather quests double or triple the amount of needed items and make the drop rate 50%. It'd at least feel like you're doing something other than beating your head against underwater rocks.

Я готов на все!

Принесите Кристоферу Слоану из крепости Вилдервар 5 северных рыб-шипов.

	Северная рыба-шип (5)

Описание

Как же мне надоели эти бочки с засоленной рыбой! Я набиваю их целыми днями, а работы еще непочатый край!

Ах, если бы только у меня осталась эта приманка Ната Пэгла! Вот уж действительно чудесная штука. Теперь же я радуюсь, если удается поймать за час хотя бы одну рыбку.

Слышал я, что из северной рыбы-шипа получается неплохая приманка, но кто же в здравом уме полезет в ледяную воду и будет бултыхаться среди водорослей в поисках этой пронырливой рыбки? Не я, это точно... разве что тебя удастся уговорить...
