Thread: Guide to Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Extravaganza

nice guide

Goals:


Goal #1: The main goal of the tournament is to be the first to catch 40 Tastyfish and to return them to the goblin contest master Riggle Bassbait in Booty Bay. Riggle stands on the dock just outside of the Inn. Along with the man in charge of the contest, there is Fishbot 5000 and another goblin who give out consolation prizes...
(can be won multiple times, but only one winner per server, per week)

Goal #2: (Consolation Prize) Every 5 Tastyfish you turn into to the female goblin next to riggle bassbait will give you 23 silver
(repeatable, can only be turned in from 14:00-17:00 (2-5pm) on Sunday's).

Goal #3: (Consolation Prize) Bring a rare fish to the Fishbot 5000 to receive "Rare Nat Pagle fishing accessories". There are three types of rare fish to be found, and yes, rare means rare, I have caught the 3 rare fish on 5 occasions in the last 6 months, so you can catch a rare fish more than once.
(repeatable, can only be turned in from 14:00-17:00 (2-5pm) on Sunday's).
