I just wanna say that ive fished em up aswell in the river, at Camp mojache, witch also is an very safe place of fishing em! ;-)
(If u are Horde)...

Commento di 37752

I don't think the drop rate in Moonglade is accurate. I fished between the bridges nearest the druid trainer, and caught 5 in 10 minutes. This is a lot safer than any of the other places listed.

Commento di dusk

Currently these fish have two uses:

1 - Craftsman's Writ - Lightning Eel Which increases your Argent Dawn rep by 150 per turn-in.
2 - Make Stormchops added in patch 2.3

Side-note: El's Angling has alot of into on fishing times etc

Commento di 99709

After 50 or so casts with no lightning eel in WPL I suspect the drop rates have been altered as a result of the 2.3 patch. Droprate in Deadwind pass seemed to be approximately 5% over a few hundred casts.

Commento di 1815

I will confirm that I am not having much luck in WPL/EPL either. I have caught 4 in over 100 casts.

Commento di Nulgar

As they're required for one of the new cooking recipes in 2.3, they also can be caught in Zul'Aman - probably in front of Karazhan, too

Commento di Warlock82

Drop rates are affected by time-of-day. See: http://www.capsu.org/wow/fish/lightning_eel.html

They are most frequently found between 12:00 and 18:00 (noon to 6pm).

10 minutes fishing (495) Moonglade at 5.00 pm:

1 miscast
12 Raw Sunscale Salmon
12 Raw Redgill
2 Oily Blackmouth
3 Lightning Eel
3 Raw Mithril Head Trout

Commento di 87444

I fished from 5:10pm to 5:40pm in WPL and caught 10 lightning eels. I didn't see any pools of fish, I suppose it's all open water there, but it's still a reasonable drop rate.

Commento di grimman

10 minutes on the Isle of Quel'Danas netted me 9 eels.

Commento di 132402

The lake just south of camp mojache drops them fairly often as well

Commento di 141130

Just fished for these in the WPL, inland water, open casts

it went like this :

Fishing skill 400 (375 skill + 25 from rod)

16:50pm ~ 17:21pm (servertime)

100 fish caught on 100 casts,

Raw Redgill = 39
Sunscale Salmon = 30
Lightning Eel = 12
Oily Blackmouth = 11
Mithril head Trout = 8

17:23pm ~ 17:52pm (sevrertime)

100 fish caught on 100 casts

Raw Redgill = 40
Sunscale Salmon = 30
Lightning Eel = 11
Oily Blackmouth = 12
Mithril Head Trout = 7

my finish time was 18:00pm

between 17:52 pm and 18:00pm went on to fish:

Raw Redgill = 12
Sunscale Salmon = 5
Lightning Eel = 1
Oily Blackmouth = 2
mithril Head Trout = 1

and a Bloated Redgill containing 1 star ruby

so as can be seen ..the two 'sets' of 100 fish are almost identical....give or take 1 fish

the 20th Lightning Eel was caught on the 169th cast at 17:44 pm :)

Commento di 170715

How high fishing u need to catch these Eels? I just got the recipe for Stormchops on my rogue and i wanna test it out :P

Commento di 140778

The fishing skill varies depending on the region you are fishing in. If you are kinda low on the fishing end I suggest getting to about 200 skill and buying some Aquadynamic Fish Attractors or Sharpened Fishing Hooks either an Engineer or the AH, then heading out to the Moonglade and fishing in the lake there. You will level your fishing, catch the occassional bloated fish containing useful stuff, and eels. This is also a great place to get your fishing up as these fish are used past 225 to get you moving with the cooking skill. Once you get to about 300 fishing you will be able to move on to better spots. The above info is generally correct and time of day does matter with the exception of the BC raid zones.

Happy Fishing

P.S. Stormchops are amazing fun but can be serious trouble in dungeons. . .use with caution.

Commento di 201099

After fishing for approximately an hour in Moonglade, starting at 5pm Server time and ending at 6 pm server time. I managed 26 of these Eels.

Edit: I was fishing within the town in Moonglade. Near the moonwell. Not sure if it really matters where you stand. It also seems that the time restriction on the Eels is gone. I still fish in Moonglade if I am in need of Lightning Eels, I've had a lot of success fishing in the zone.

Commento di Ikayuro

I've been fishing in WPL to get my fishing up and I've caught 10 in about 30 minutes. was about 5:37pm server time.

Commento di Flolah

I was trying to fish last night, pretty much non-stop, and then a little extra this morning in WPL pretty close to the bottom coord (56.3, 76.9) and I received absolutely no eels. This is the total count:

112 Raw Redgill
25 Raw Sunscale Salmon
23 Raw Nightfin Snapper
22 Raw Mithril Head Trout
8 Oily Blackmouth
1 Greater Mana Potion

I had maybe ~5 casts where I missed reeling in, due to playing without sound and watching TV at the same time.

Trying again, further inland, west of Andorhal.

I should note, I am doing all this with no lures, but I started at 403 combined fishing, and at the end of the above I am at 430.

I noticed that I have a few times where I have absolutely nothing on the line for the full duration of the cast... so I am applying a +100 Lure.

Commento di 104453

Fishing in Maraudon for Raw Redgills (to skill up my cooking) at 1:30pm server time actually (surprisingly) ended up netted me:

Raw Redgill: 45 (39%)
Raw Sunscale Samon: 41 (35%)
Oily Blackmouth: 11 (10%)
Lightning Eel: 11 (10%)
Raw Mithril Head Trout: 6 (5%)
34 Pound Redgill: 1 (1%)

Total: 115

..with a few missed casts.

I skilled up from 225 to 243. Not bad for less than an hour's worth of fishing! :-)

Commento di 303065

Just fished up 2 of these in about 50 casts in Deadwind Pass by the lake around Karazhan

Was around 12:45 A:M at the time, so I might have just gotten very lucky, or it might be that their drop rate is better from 12-6 am AND pm

Commento di 294737

The timing restrictions on the lightning eel have been removed. As of what patch, I have no idea, but no one should have downrated Bloke182's post.

Also, his rates are accurate. if you're fishing in Deadwind pass, the catch rate is far better in the northernmost lake by the pass than it is by Karazhan. Fishing by karazhan, I caught 5 over the span of an hour. Moved to the northern lake and caught 32 in the subsequent hour. Given that people with wowhead looter running could be fishing at either place, this likely accounts for the fish averaging out at 10% for the whole zone, although the northern area is 12.5 percent by my calculations over the span of 250 catches.

Edit: Also this is patch 3.0.9, not 3.0.8 as wowhead has my post recorded.

Commento di 151638

Fishing in Deadwind Pass in the Northern most lake after about 25 minutes and 176 casts got:
Lightning Eel x14
Barbed Gill Trout x60
Bloodfin Catfish x40
Cresent-Tail Skullfish x23

I don't know if the drop rate has lessen, but i imagine that if i stayed for an hour like Notadin then i might have gotten better results but by far the Northern most lake is the best bet to fish up Lightning Eels

Commento di dietryin

Was leveling fishing in the south fury river in ashenvale. Just go out back door of org and hang a right til you not in durotar/barrens anymore. Maybe I got lucky but spent an hour there and caught 2 stacks worth.

Today I went fishing in Deadwind Pass, around 14:15 server time.

Here are the results:

26 casts

13 x Barbed Gill Trout
8x Bloodfin Catfish
3x Lightning Eel
2x Crescent-Tail Skullfish

Commento di 385150

Cought it on 2nd cast just outside of Karazhan on the river.

I just caught 3 in the space of 8 minutes

1) On the 23rd cast
2) On the 30th cast (just 7 casts later!)
3) On the 35th cast (just 5 casts later!)

I was sitting on a log in Deadwind Pass, the northern-most spot of water at 42.2, 27.8

Commento di 364288

I also caught a Lightning Eel in Deadwind pass (42, 28). I caught it on my 30th cast, during which time I caught:

17x Barbed Gill Trout
7x Bloodfin Catfish - useful for Broiled Bloodfin
4x Crescent-Tail Skullfish - useful for Skullfish Soup
1x Lightning Eel - useful for Stormchops
1x Driftwood

I caught the Driftwood while sitting at 415 skill (380 + 25 from Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole). After this I attached a Sharpened Fish Hook and drank some of Captain Rumsey's Lager and had no more problems.

That makes this fishing hole a great spot for working towards The Outland Gourmet.

Commento di Celestri

Fishing so I can cook the stormchops and get my Chef title.

450 fishing + Kalu'ak Pole + Fishing Hat + 75 lure.

WPL just SE of Andorhal - 20 minutes span of time:

39 Raw Redgill
11 Raw Sunscale Salmon
16 Raw Nightfin Snapper
11 Oily Blackmouth
3 Raw Mithril Head Trout
0 Lightning Eel

Don't waste your time in WPL. Based on earlier comments, looks like Deadwind Pass may be the place to go.

<edit> Later on, I went to Deadwind Pass around 43,28 and fished for 10 minutes:

23 Barbed Gill Trout
6 Crescent-tail Skullfish

Commento di 282913

While Wowhead database shows EPL as having the most fishing spots where this eel has been caught, Deadwind Pass is certainly better. I spent about 3 hours in EPL (at the big lake) trying to catch one and didn't get a single one. I finally shifted to Deadwind Pass and caught 10 in 45 minutes.

Note: I was at 315-325 fishing skill at Deadwind Pass with half of my catches being trash (weeds and the like). So I suspect my actual eel count would have been much higher with a higher fishing skill.

While in Felwood at about 2:00 game time and as a level 220 Fisherman, I tried fishing a couple hundred yards downstream from Bloodvenom Falls and scored 5 Lightning Eel in about 10 minutes. Seemed like about every 7 casts or so I'd collect one.

Commento di goomba

I needed a Lightning Eel and a Crescent-tail Skullfish to complete the Outland gourmet achievement. I needed a total of 3 casts fishing in the lake by Karazhan to catch both.

Commento di Goddessa39

I went fishing at Blackwood Lake in the middle of the Eastern Plaguelands to pass the time as my hearthstone recharged. As a DK, I used my Path Of Frost to stand mid-lake. At 5:03 I fished until that power ran out.

I looked it up and the Lightning Eel has about a 1/4 chance of getting caught from noon to sixish. It isn't that for me but I got a few. In ten minutes I caught:

5 Lightning Eels
12 Raw Whitescale Salmon
11 Raw Sunscale Salmon
2 Raw Redgill
1 tangled fishingline
1 tattered cloth
1 weeds

...and this was with my fishing at 375. That gives me a 5/33, which while it isn't 5/20, it is not bad.

Commento di 456809

I caught Lightning Eel on a sunday at 22:00 pm Sever Time, so if you feel like catching it anytime is fine, don't have to wait to next day noon. Catch happened at Feralas Northern lake, where the Green Dragons are.

Just fished one up at Jademir Lake in Feralas, with the low fishing skill of 88. Was a surprise I got something besides junk.

Commento di 112169

In Cataclysm, confirmed that these can be caught from 12pm-6pm server time in the Blasted Lands. I did not know that some fish availability changed depending on server time. Plated Armorfish drop from the same pool in the Blasted lands from 12am-6am.

During the 12am-6am time zone I fished at least 50 casts at night and caught 13 Plated Armorfish and zero Lightning Eels, so I feel comfortable saying the time strongly influences the drop rates at present. Not sure if timing restrictions were reimplemented (previous poster said they were removed) or what.

I was looking to catch a few of these to have some fun AFKing towards Critter Kill Squad by way of Storm Chops for the small guild I'm in.

Edit: Removed link to outside site.

I went fishing in the Blasted Lands, down near 42.92 - 71.52. Here are my catch results for 100 casts, done in the morning, if that matters:

41 Raw Whitescale Salmon
18 Raw Sunscale Salmon
16 Plated Armorfish
15 Raw Nightfin Snapper
6 Lightning Eels
3 Raw Redgills
1 Major Healing Potion

so, 6% drop on the eels. SIGH.

I was fishing in the pond under Karazan and was pulling these up along with the Barbed Gill Trout, Crescent Tailed Skullfish and the Bloodfin Catfish.

Granted they were the least of the catches, but at least still available.

5 raw redgill.

so frustrated, thinking i was doing something wrong, i read more on this thread and decided to try deadwind pass.

first...cast...eel -_-

sooo either i have terrible luck ooorrrrrr i have no idea. fish in deadwind pass! :]

Commento di Ploute

I highly suggest fishing for these out of the small lake at the south end of the Deadwind Pass zone. In the 17 casts I did I got:

10 Barbed Gill Trout
3 Lightning Eels
3 Bloodfin Catfish
1 Crescent-Tail Skullfish

So it's fully confirmed that the time restrictions mentioned above have been removed. You can fish them all up anytime you wish.

Don't forget to keep at least 1 for your Cooking Achievements!

Commento di Thottbot

These are listed as one of the Craftman's Writ quest items in 1.11 stuff.

The idea is you will get a random request for items out of some 20 different possibilities. You give a token + the items and get an Insignia.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/argent/

You can get nice stuff with the Insignias.

30 Lighting Eels is listed as one of the quests on the forums from Test server. :brows:

Commento di Thottbot

It seems the Lightning eels are only catchable during the day (6am-6pm), while at night you catch Plated armorfish instead.

I fished a bunch of Lightning eels up while waiting for a guild ZG run inside ZG.... when i went back later that night i caught no eels but a bunch of Plated Armorfish instead.

I noticed just now while fishing in karazhan that I was catching all armorfish and nightfins, when it turned 6am i suddenly started catching eels and sunscales instead....

both lightning eels and plated armorfish are used in new AD quests so it makes sense to hold onto both.

Commento di Thottbot

Feralas, crazy drop rate. Only fished at the river INSIDE Camp Mojache, north of Camp and the 225 fishing quest place west of Camp. Using 2 aquamarine fish attractors I walked away with 10 of 'em on my stringer , with the odd blackmouth, firefin, and cookables.

Commento di Thottbot

OK, I have MAXED fishing(527). I spent 30 mins. fishing in 3 different areas for these fish from the list above. This is how it broke down. I started in EP @ 11:30PMish & caught 2,and also caught Armorfish. After 12AM server time, I didn't catch any more, and actually stayed here for about 10 more mins. just to be sure. Next, I went to the other side of the Silithus mountains, like the idiot above suggested, on the Ferelas side(The Forgotten Coast). I caught multiple fish at once there, but no Eels or Armorfish. Last, I went to Deadwind Pass. I did catch Armorfish there, but again, no Eels. I'm Alliance so I really can't go try Mojache, but at this point, I feel there may be something to the question that you can only catch the Eels during the day. I'll try during the day hours tomorrow & post an update with my findings. Good Luck!
UPDATE: I went back to EP at about 10:30PM Server time & was able to catch 21 Eels & many Armorfish. I was watching the clock pretty close as Midnight came, and caught an Eel at 11:58PM. After Midnight I stayed & fished for another 40 Mins., and continued to catch Armorfish(Though way fewer), but no Eels. At this point, I'm going to say that there is definitely something to catching the Eels before 12AM Server time. Hope this was helpful!
UPDATE 2: I have made the decision the best time to catch these fish in an available area is between 6AM-12PM Server time.(Sunshine symbol)

Commento di Thottbot

caught a ton of these in felwood right by the gryphon master, don't know what they're good for besides that quest, but if you want em this is a good place to catch em, also a great drop rate of redgills and sunscale salmon.

Commento di Thottbot

Commento di Thottbot

Caught some of these in felwood right by the gryphon master.. Like Arawynn told:)

so... I did some research:

Felwood: 12:15 - 12:45 PM. Got 16 out of 100 = 16% drop rate.. Thats pretty good=)

Moonglade: 01:00 - 01:30 PM. Got 7 out of 100 = 7% droprate.. Not too happy about it.

Deadwind Pass, Karazhan: 01:30 - 01:45 PM. Got 2 out of 50 = 4% droprate.. :(

ZG(need to be in raid for entering, just ask a friend): 02:00 - 02:15 PM. Got 4 out of 50 = 8% droprate.

well..
Back to felwood confirming the nice drop rate..

Felwood: 02:30 - 03:00 PM. Droprate confirmed. Caught 15 Lightning Eels out of 100 fish. 15% droprate.

So I would say Felwood are good for fishing Eels, maby the best place :)

GL all :)

As of Patch 2.3 Lightning Eels are now used in the Recipe: Stormchops which require 1x Clefthoof Meat and 1x Lightning Eel. This recipe is a random reward from the Daily Cooking Quest provided by The Rokk. He can be found at 61,15 in Shattrath's Lower City. For those of you without a /loc mod he's right under the NW Bridge that leads to Terokkar Forest.

On another note this affect is really alot of fun. Our guild tested it out on a Karazhan run when we were on the Nightbane encounter. During the adds phase all you could see was sparks of lightning flying all over the place. Not to mention it also has to hit critters as you run by them. I forgot I had the buff on at one point until a spark flew from me and killed a rat. ><

Stood at 41,49 around 5:00pm (I don't think the time matters because I've been catching them here ever since) using the Big Iron Fishing Pole and Bright Bubbles. This is also an excellent spot for Raw Sunscale Salmon which can be turned in to Poached Sunscale Salmon that restores +6 health every 5 minutes. Cooking skill of 250 required.

Restores +6 Health every 5 seconds. Apologies.

There's a decent drop rate of lightning eel in ZA. In 30 mins I got:

20 Bloodfin Catfish
11 Crescent-tail Skullfish
15 Lightning Eel

Commento di Thottbot

For those of you who have not been longtime fishers: Fish drop rates vary every 6 hours game time; at Midnight, 6am, noon, and 6pm, the drop rates for many fish change, and there are some fish that you can only catch at certain times of the day. Please post the GAME TIME that you did your research at, as well as the location and %s. Thanks!

For all you fellow finishing obsessives, there is a great mod out there that I have found to be extremely helpful. It's called:

Fishing Buddy.

Not too creative but it works. It has a Time of Day feature that let's you track at which times you caught which fish. I'm not sure if the last few patches have changed whether certain fish are diurnal or nocturnal but pre-BC this mod was a must have for me. Additionally, it really helps since it keeps track of where you caught certain fish and at what drop rate.

Pre-BC I made a small fortune selling stonescale eels (certain then-highlevel alchemy pots required the oil you make from the fish). Alas, these days no one seems to care so much with the advent of elixirs (tho I do love that they persist through death). Once the server comes back online (stupid Tuesday downtime, I always seem to get Tuesday as my day off) I'll start farming and, hopefully, have some good statistics as to where you can find these and other helpful fish.

I fished 3 Lightning Eels in Western Plaguelands today at around 13:00 server time, in approx 1 hour. (plus other things ofc)

Commento di Thottbot

I found a good spot for these sorta, When you enter Sunken Temple (ST) or Temple of Atal' Hakkar when you reach the water fish there. Party member needed some fish so I caught some for his pet.
Approx 3:45-4:00 15 minutes
I caught about
5 Lightning Eels
5 Mithril Headed Trout
4 Redgill
So in my opinion this place has some good drops :)

Commento di Thottbot

lightning eel can be fished easily in any lake in Western Plaguelands

skill 250 + 100 bauble +20 fishing pole = 370 total skill

Commento di Thottbot

BEWARE! The picture above is totally wrong. No lightning eels are located there. The poster is so wrong. Don't waste your time going there.

I did however catch 6 in 30 minutes at the deadwind pass.

Good luck and enjoy your fishing

My Deadwood pass Eel Experiment went about the same as the above poster:

This is over 3 days - usually 1-4am server - but some off times

I would log in, fish a lure or two
- and then go defend something on another of my 70's
- THen come back and use another lure

Anyone know if this is actually used for anything?

Commento di Allakhazam

It's a reagent. It has to be used for something, but as of yet no one I know knows what.

Commento di Allakhazam

I fish them just inside the ZG zone, but need very high fishing. I use Nat Peagles Pole and nightcrawlers and such to have high enough skill level.

Commento di Allakhazam

has anyone seen any new enchante or alc recipe to use this in yet ?'

Commento di Allakhazam

so does any1 know the best area to fish these?

Commento di Allakhazam

The best place to catch these is the SS isle with this highest catch rate (13%) or Ferelas with the second highest (10%). I dont know what the skill difference is between the 2 places. I had no get aways on SS isle with 340 skill, Nat pagle rod +25 and sharpened hook +100

Commento di Allakhazam

If you decide to eat these make sure no one is sheeping, trapping, etc. The bolts from this food hit random targets with no regard for crowd controlled mobs. At least that has been my experience using them. Great for AoE farming though if you want a little extra damage boost.

Commento di Allakhazam

You can get heaps of them in Alterac Valley by the frostwolf village

Commento di Allakhazam

These can now be caught at the Shutter Sun island.

Commento di Allakhazam

These can be found in the little lake outside of Karazhan.
Here's what I got as a sample (500 fishing):

Barbed Gill Trout 14 (33%)
Bloodfin Catfish 14 (33%)
Lightning Eel 9 (21%)
Crescent-Tail Skullfish 5 (12%)

Commento di Allakhazam

You guys are either extremely slow or dont have the brains to put 1 and 1 together. Lighting Eel CURRENTLY have no use, however have you ever heard of The BURNING CRUSADE? yes this is an expansion for the game you and I both love. now to answer all your question... Why are they here now? Well at Blizzard, its important to keep things balanced in the WoW community (hint: nerfing items/ character skills). Now you may ask, How does this have anything to do with Lighting Eel? EVERYTHING! Blizzard incorporated these into the game early so when the expansion does come out, the community stayes BALLANCED! (as least as much as they can control) This is so people (like you) start collecting these Eels and Plated Armor Fish. This way when the expansion does come out, prices on these eels (and whatever they are going to be used for) dont skyrocket! now there is always going to be the first rush. For example: when the Enchanted bags were released, prices increased dramatically because they were used in the making of these new bags that NO ONE had. This expansion is going to do the same thing. Prices are going to rocket up when all this new crap starts coming out. Now if there are Lighting Eel and Plated Armorfish already spread throughout the community, prices stay far more reasomable then if they were just released with all the new patterns and enchants and everything else. BALANCE is EVERYTHING! So my final word and advice to YOU is: Dont eat/feed them to your pets! and Stock Up! cause when the expansion is released, you will be pulling in lots of $$$ either from the Eel themselves, or the products produced from them.

Caught 3 in 10 mins in Lake Mennar (Azshara). Fishing skill at 270 with +25 pole and fish were getting away until I put a fish attractor on.

Commento di Allakhazam

I think it's used in some sort of rare enchant or rare weapon, armor or something like that, i got one ... will so go catch more and try to sell them to anyone =))

How can people be so clueless? Look above people... it's only made very evident that these are used in a quest. You need 30 of them.

noted that the time of day influences catch rates.

At 11amST, i decided to do a little experiment.

Before noon, I caught 0 eels out of 100 catches
After noon, I caught 7 eels out of 100 catches

So it would seem that fishing between 12:00ST and 18:00ST does increase your eel catching

Commento di Allakhazam

got some of these in Feralas horde camp. Looks like noone knows what they are for. Guess a recepie that hasnt been added to game yet

Commento di Allakhazam

supposedly a recipe what got added in 1.7. no confirmations as of yet, and im too lazy to go find out.

Commento di Allakhazam

Fished 5 from Felwood around the furbogs. Was one in the ah for 1.5 gold. What are these for?

Commento di Allakhazam

Technically, it can be white for the sole purpose of being pet food, but who knows, maybe we'll get somewhere with it.

I think I'll store a stack of these and Plated Armorfish on my alt, just in case.

Commento di Allakhazam

I fished at frostfire hotsprings in winterspring. After one hour these were my results
Whitescale Salmon 68
Plated Armorfish 35
Nightfin Snapper 33
Sunscale Salmon 29
Lightning Eel 26
Redgill 11
and some other odds and ends.

Hope this helps someone looking for lightning eel and plated armorfish.

I saw this fish as an ingredient in a recipe. I don't remember what recipe it was, but I think it was alchemy.

Commento di Allakhazam

Someone said somewhere it was the ultimate pet food or something...not sure on this.

Commento di Allakhazam

It will be used for enchants in the future....i read that Blizzard will be adding lightening enchant

Commento di Allakhazam

Still haven't found anything to use this for....if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Commento di Allakhazam

pets happyness gain is dependant on their lvl vs. the lvl of the food, not what kind of pet vs. what kind of food. 60 pets gain 35 from like 35+ food I think

Commento di Allakhazam

Well, seems nobody knows what the linghtning thingy over here is, but then why are people paying 27s per each one? not for a whole stack, but for just ONE...
Mystery is an expensive thing, I gues... :P

Commento di Allakhazam

This fish, along with Plated Armorfish, has no ues in the game and no one seems to know any use for either of them.. Got some stacks of each fish on my alt hopeing they will get useable sometimes..

Commento di Allakhazam

I've got some too, and nobody no's anything about it

Commento di Allakhazam

Since no one seems to have posted anything truly useful about what this eel is actually used for (other then the obvious quest), I'll post here. These eels are also used for cooking "Stormchops".

Recipe: Stormchops]Edited, Nov 14th 2007 7:25pm by utdream

Commento di Allakhazam

I got a recipe from a daily quest starting in shat lower city. The "Stormchops" recipe creates a buff that lasts 30 minutes and makes random lightning bolts shoot out and hit enemies.

Commento di Allakhazam

(consults Magic 8 Ball)

hmmm ....

"Signs point to 'No'"

Commento di Allakhazam

They're needed in an Argent Dawn quest in the Eastern Plaguelands. You need 30 of these so.. where's the best place to get them?

Commento di eKatherine

This fish is eventually used in a Burning Crusade recipe.

Stormchops
Use: Charges you with energy, causing lightning to occasionally zap nearby enemies for the next 30 minutes.

The recipe is obtained from the barrel of fish obtained doing cooking dailies in Shattrath City. It's pretty rare. I eventually got mine by buying barrels of fish from the timewalking vendor when BC timewalking was in effect.

Supposedly it is also possible to get it by doing cooking dailies in Dalaran Northrend.

It's a not very useful gimmick. Basically it will aggro random critters as you walk by.

It is easily fished in the Verdantis River in Feralas. My fishing is 300 and I don't need a lure.

Commento di jamesdsanchez

50 casts in Deadwind Pass at 1100 server time.
Barbed Gill Trout - 28
Bloodfin Catfish - 10
Crescent-Tail Skullfish - 9
Lightning Eel - 3

I don't believe there is a restriction as to what time you decide to fish. I fished these up and the northern most pool in Deadwind Pass. (42.6,28.0)

Commento di Manqidawashere

Not sure if the craftsmans writs for lightning eel will be a hot item in SoD but with all the surprising changes...it might be. I am going to hold them in the hundreds just to be safe. I fished with 3 toons in Moonglade for about 45 minutes and got 41. Fishing skill 175 with bright baubles still fails to catch fish there but my toons at 225 fishing never missed if they used the bauble but did miss without it. Either way, not sure I can really recommend going there altogether. Ended up with 138 raw redgill, 35 mithril trout, 85 raw sunscale salmon, 1 green boe (ok that surprised me) and 42 oily blackmouth. I am likely going to make my home base fishing hole that tiny lil pond in western winterspring once I can get there.
