When your fishing skill gets to be 225, the fishing trainer in Iron Forge will send you to Nat Pagle in Theramore. You have to be at least level 35 and you can NOT get this quest until you ARE at 225 ~ which sucks = it means you can’t get any skill-ups while working on the quest. You will get a little bit of silver and some change for doing this step. You can skip it if you want to ~ I think. I didn’t with either of my toons. Every copper adds up! LOL

He will want you to go fish up 4 different fish from 4 different zones. You won’t need a lure for any of them.

I am going to give you coordinates in case TomTom (or whatever add-on you use) is working again but I am also going to give directions in case it isn’t. Be sure your mini-map says the zone section or you wont catch the fish. Also, I did this on my alliance toons – my horde toon isn’t old enough yet, so I can’t give directions from those closer FPs. But if you have half-a-clue about the zones, you should still be able to figure it out. [:grin:]

(This next tip you probably have already figured out on your own.) Keep in mind that even tho TomTom isn’t working and coordinates are not showing up at the bottom of the BIG map, you can still use them to give you a general idea of where you need to go. Maps and coordinates are laid out on a 100-grid so you can look at them as a percentage.

For example, the first fish mentioned below is at 21.8, 87.5. So that tells me it is 21% of the way across the map from the left. And 87% of the way down the map from the top. Just like reading – left to right, top to bottom.

Nat Pagle is at 52, 60 on a little island almost directly west of the docks in Theramore. Easest way to reach him is to swim from the docks (if you are alliance). There are several “rocks” (islands) on your mini-map – his is closer to land than the bay that you will swim thru from Theramore – kinda but not quite in the middle of all the little islands. By the time you can see his dock and tent, you should have a yellow ? on your mini-map.

This is the order I did them in simply because of travel time = there are two on each continent:

Name of Fish – loc – Zone Section – Zone
Sartheris Striker – 21.8, 87.5 – Sartheris Strand – Desolace. For this one I flew to Feralas (the one farthest west). Swim or take boat to main land. Run up hill and turn left and head to Desolace. If you didn’t do any of the centaur-faction quests in Nijel’s point, you can run thru the centaur village on the left and keep going to the coast. Follow the coast south and west and you will have to continue on swimming for a little ways when you run out of beach. Stay close to the rock/land so you do not get fatigued. You will come to a rock that you can just BARELY stand on – can’t fish while swimming. This is where you want to be to catch this fish.

Ferais Ahi – 62.3, 52.3 – Verdantis River – Feralas. Head back to Feralas the way you came but instead of going to the dock, keep running up the road towards Dire Maul. The first bridge you come to will be Verdantis River. Keep an eye out for mobs. This loc is safe from wanderers. So if you have problems with mobs, you should move to a different spot on the river.

Savage Coats Blue Sailfin – 26.8, 70.1 – Southern Savage Coast – Stranglethorn Vale. Head back to flight path, go to Ratchet, take boat to Booty Bay. When you step off boat, turn left and jump in water and start swimming. There will be a rock-projection on your right. This is the area where (if you did the quest) that you killed “Pretty Boy” to get Catalina’s knife back. Stand on the rock and fish.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi – 91.1, 82.2 – Misty Reed Strand – Swamp of Sorrows. Go back to Booty Bay and take FP to Natherguard Keep (for alliance) in Blasted Lands or (for horde) Stonard (if you have it). If you don’t have this FP yet, for alliance fly to Duskwood and take road north and east. You will cross a bridge and have a choice to go = GO LEFT thru Deadwind Pass. You will be on the west side of the zone and you need to go to the east side to the coast. Follow the road until you come to a fork. The right fork will take you to Blasted Lands (the alliance FP is on the left side of the road to the east a little ways inside the compound). The left fork will take you to horde territory so you will have to go even farther north off the road and around the compound. There is wildlife every where to avoid (you can kill them if you want but that eats up time). Once you get to the coast, you will want to be farther south by a murloc village. There will be another little island you need to swim out to. Again, it will have just enough space to stand on to fish. Be careful that your mini map says Misty Reed Strand – two steps in the wrong direction will take you out of the correct zone section.

Now head back to Nat Pagle and turn in your quest. [:cookie:]
