Fishing rares
Reskal
✭
hey there, actually i fished 11 rares in stonefalls, the last one, Tench is a real tough one. Its from lakes and i fish in the very northwest of the map, there are 2 good lakes, they always have fishing spots open but actually i cought rainbow zander and the other sort around 6 times each but the one i need, the Tench not one time.
So i wonder, is fishing rares programmed that i have to change locations, or can i get all 3 sorts of rare fish at the same hole ?

Elad13✭✭✭I don't get fishing at all...I'm good at getting used bait....lol if anyone knows a good guide to fishing...please link0

Auralia✭✭✭you get used bait when you use the wrong bait, there are several water types and each water type requires certain bait to be used, you will never get used bait if you use the right bait for the water type.
Foul water: crawlers and roe
Rivers and streams: insects and shad
Lakes: Guts and minnow
Ocean: worms and chub
So if you think you are fishing at a lake and you get used bait, it's likely you are really fishing at a river so you should switch to insects. Generally you will notice the types of fish you catch for each water type. Such as longfin will be caught from the ocean and roe from a river.5 -

Thanks for this info. It helps.
Now where did I put my pole?
Oh yeah... up my butt along with every thing else I carry.
There it is...FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.Balance is a "Bad" thing.
Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.
Balance is a "Bad" thing.Is the glass half full or half empty?

Nidwin✭✭✭Please open your own threads for your questions, i would like to have an answer to mine.
I think none really knows the answer.
To me it seems every hole can give you the rares and it's just a question of luck and perseverance.Nidwinqq Templar (healzzz) United Warhammer Vets

You can find the 5. achievement-fish in stonefalls in lakes. It's a green one.
You don't have to change fishing grounds, you just have to use the right baits (as @Auralia told) and you have to have luck (and sometimes patience
), thats all.
If you have other questions to fishing, baits, bugged achievement, fishing grounds, you can send me a pm or an ingame mail (Zalea Talaris). I havent done all the fishing achievements, but I finished 15 and I wrote down and screened every single fish.
Hope, that helps, good luck, Zalea0 -

✭✭✭There's 2 greens and 1 blue for each type of water, so 12 rare fish total per zone. So, no, you can't fish up all the rare fish from one body of water. However you can fish up the 2 different greens and 1 blue for one type of water from the same fishing hole as I have done this before.
It helps to keep a pad of paper handy to write down the name of the rare fish you catch and the location. This way, you won't keep trying to fish from the same type of water. And the fishing achievements will tell you what fish you did catch per zone, but not what type of water it came from.
Hope that answers your question.Edited by Tabbycat on July 17, 2014 1:37PMFounder and Co-GM of The Psijic Order Guild (NA)

rbenkepub19_ESO✭✭✭I did a lot of fishing in both WoW and Rift, because there were incentives to do so. I'm not aware of any incentive to fish in ESO. Is there any?0

about that i were not sure, then i will go on trying, ty.0 -
mutharex✭✭✭✭✭Also, fishing with other people in the same spot raises the chance of getting a rare, if you didn't know.0

If it is like any other node in the game, then logging off and logging back on should reset the nodes.
Or, you can wait for the respawn on the fishing hole. I don't know how long that takes, but I have fished out a few holes in this game. I think I remember seeing the fish movement in the water going away when the holes were fished out, but memory is stored in the fuzzy part of the brain.

TomLukman✭✭✭OK, let's try another way - has anyone actually caught the Tench? I also can't seem to catch it.0 -

✭✭Does the fish you guys catch actually land in your bags? Mine always disappear
I didn't fish for about 2 weeks now though

TomLukman✭✭✭I can now confirm it's possible to catch Tench too. Not sure if relevant or not, but I caught it during the night at north west lake (the one near exit from the region).Edited by TomLukman on July 24, 2014 7:05AM0

Reskal✭Well, after i was 3 days after the trench and after i got 10+ of the other 2 rare-fish-sorts that are available in the lake-holes in stonefalls, i finally got it.
I grouped with someone of my guild. After 2 minutes he got the trench, which is not that much compared to 3 days.
But well 2 hours later i got mine also.Edited by Reskal on July 24, 2014 10:17PM0 -
Reskal✭By the way, is it normal that people hijack topics instead of opening own threads, as user "blackwidow" here did ? Many found it funny but i'm not sure what the rules are in this ?
Usually hijacking of topics is not allowed in the internet, but in case this is a forum for users 5-12, tell me.3 -
