Is Azshara/Bay of Storms the only place these can be fished from? Thanks

Commento di 1099

Stood at 55,50 and caught a few. I was at 275 fishing skill with the reward from this quest Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole, and using a Bright Bauble... and still had fish get loose.

This was in Azshara, and the only place I've caught them thusfar.

Commento di dragonslair

i cant fish anything there when i got the item window open there is nothing...

Commento di Anzael

You can now fish these off the coast of the Isle of Quel'Danar.

Commento di Hunny

The skilled req. has been so nerfed. I was able to fish here with 260 skill. Sure I failed sometimes, but I was still able to get enough lobster for me to get past 300 in cooking and I got 303 fishing here aswell.

Commento di Fuegan

Note: In the Bay of Storms area near the coast you CAN get both the lobster and the large mightfish, however the chance they drop are low as hell. However this area requires lower fishing lvl. The farther fishing spots have a higher chance, but also have a higher fishing lvl requirement.

Commento di Tequima

Starting at 320 fishing, with a +5 pole:

on scalebeard's cave "not high enough"
with bauble - 10 mins 3 mightfish, 2 lobsters and assorted clams, yellowtails and firefins
back to shore to level up another 5 - "not high enough"
another 5 levels - 1/10 catch rate, (rest "your fish has got away") 1 more mightfish and lobster, assorted clams
another 5 levels - 1/5 catch rate, 3 more mightfish, 4 lobsters

Excluding the yellowtails, rockscale cod (about 10 of each) I had to throw away due to lack of pack space:

5
9
4
24
1
and from scalebeard
8
20
25
6

Total time (including travel, conversations and killing 1 giant and the rare elite) 2 hours, approx. estimated auction price (exluding boxes) 75G (Eonar server)

Commento di 175893

I found these guys pretty easy to catch right in front of scalebeards cave... I went in the cave and killed scalebeard (giant elite/rare turtle...)...then walked right outside his cave and started fishing... its been a little less than an hour and i have 45 lobsters...

these sell for about 32g for a stack in AH on my server so that makes for a nice little 66-75g/hr... not to mention all the fish I cought in the process

woot

Commento di 194373

I managed to get some with fishing 273 (base), Big Iron fishing pole (+20) and the last 3 of my Aquadynamic fishing lenses (+50). Took me all 3 lures (so a half hour) to get 3 lobsters and a mightfish.

I wanted to try, at least... and get my cooking closer to 300 :-)

Commento di 25312

To fish in Azsara (beach etc) you need 205 skill to cast, 300 to avoid "get-aways", in Bay of Storms you need 330 to cast, 425 to avoid "get-aways". Effective skill (skill plus lures etc) of course.

Commento di 164411

At 357 i cant catch any single fish, all gets away :(

Commento di abnorml

On a recent fishing leveling trip to Azshara: Scalesbeard Cave this is what I came home with.

Started: ? Cant remember
Ended: 280 fishing level (unbuffed)

Darkclaw Lobster: 85 (52.1%)
Winter Squid: 44 (27%)
Stonescale: 13 (8%)
Big-mouth Clam: 12 (7.4%)
Large Mightfish: 4 (2.5%)
7Lb Lobster: 2 (1.2%)
21Lb Lobster: 1 (0.6%)
9Lb Lobster: 1 (0.6%)
Reinforced Locked Chest: 1 (0.6%)

EDIT:
I have been able to sell these for a nice profit on the AH recently. There is a bottleneck in the Cooking leveling grind that you can use the Darkclaw for. For someone that has already leveled fishing or doesn't want to then they will snatch these up for a pretty high mark-up. I think I sold 5 stacks of 4 for 20g each.

Commento di 302860

I fished at the U shaped rock ( 53.58 ) for 2 hours starting at skill 340 with Big Iron Fishing Pole ( +20 fishing ) and equipping Bright Baubles ( +75 fishing ) every 10 mins and this is what i caught.
200 Darkclaw Lobster
74 Stonescale Eel
49 Winter Squid
44 Big-Mouth Clam
41 Large Raw Mightfish
15 Raw Spotted Yellowtail
5 Reinforced Locked Chest
2 7 Pound Lobster
1 19 Pound Lobster

I also fished Floating Wreckage for Achievement The Scavenger

Commento di wuphonsreach

At 279+95 (374), still getting about 50% miss rate (you'll need 425 to get no misses at all). 7 Large Raw Mightfish out of 84 successful casts (figure 7-8%). Darkclaw Lobster, on the other hand, comprised 45/84 (about 50-55%) of the catches. I was way out at 59,57, just south-southeast of Hetaera's Clutch.

You'll also catch a bit of Winter Squid (during the winter months), but nowhere near as much as if you stayed right along the beach.

Commento di 350533

The skill needed to fish here is no longer 330. My fishing is at 268, and I am having no problems fishing.

Commento di Vaderio

Quoted from patch 3.1 notes:

You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.

Commento di 350899

Can someone tell me why these are worth so much? I can get 40g a stack on a consistent basis for these, however they are used in only one recipe which has no "Well Fed" buff or any other stat changes. The one recipe also requires an additional ingredient. Anyone know why these are so desirable?

Commento di 121524

I guess that they lowered the fishing lvl for Darkclaw Lobster. I'm at fishing 201 and caught my first lobster with no lure and a +20 fishing fishing pole.

Commento di 360984

In less then 15 minutes at the mentioned U shaped rock I caught 7 Darkclaw Lobsters with a fishing skill level of 354.

i have 216 fishing and reg pole i fished for 10 minutes with out lures and got 7 darkclaw lobster and 2 winter squid. i then put a +100 lure on and got 6 darkclaw and 1 winter squid but i did get 4 large raw mightfish and 6 stonescale eel, and 3 big mouth clams and yea i did this all in bay of storms in azshara

Commento di meerling

I was never able to catch any darkclaw lobster here, until I found the whirling maelstrom.
It's a fishing node that doesn't seem to deplete.
Looks like wreckage and is out in the bay, no place nearby to stand, had to use walk on water.
In one session (until potion wore off) I caught 20 darkclaw lobster, 10 winterfin squid, and 2 large raw mightfish.

Commento di 560462

ty for collecting those statistics =)

Commento di AmaHC

I was never able to catch any darkclaw lobster here, until I found the whirling maelstrom.

You don't necessarily have to be 'in' the Bay of Storms when you cast your lure, but where the bobber lands has to be or you won't catch these, so you have to be careful where you cast if you're fishing around the very edge between the bay and the beach. If you're standing on a rock that's on the edge between the beach and bay part of the zone, make sure you cast your lure towards the bay, because casting towards the beach and your bobber may not land in the bay.

Commento di 650718

fishing level 226 rod +20 just managed to catch it, not high percentage but even at well below origional fishing skill it is still a catchable fish

Commento di Alkius

11/27/10 - Successfully fished from coastal waters in Blasted Lands

Commento di 734612

With the new fishing system you can fish anywhere at any skill.. So what I would do if I was ONLY after this fish. Id buy
some fishing lure's and nightcrawlers as well. And just spam fish in these waters, only thing is that you need to go back and forth to train artisan etc.

Commento di 753202

Fished for these in Azshara on the rock at 71, 54.5 with starting Fishing skill at 264. I used a fish attractor for the 10 minutes that it lasted, and this is what I got during that 10 minute window:

16 Darkclaw Lobsters
8 Winter Squid
2 Large Raw Mightfish
2 Sickly fish
2 Tattered cloth
2 Tangled Fishing Line
1 Driftwood
1 Rock
1 Stonescale Eel
1 Heavy Crate
1 Reinforced Locked Chest (Requires Lockpicking 250)

Overall I was really pleased - I was farming them for cooking, and 16 Lobsters and 2 Mightfish in 10 minutes was pretty darn good in my opinion. Also, I leveled my Fishing to 269 during that 10 minutes.

Commento di Peter4730

14 Jan 2011 Data above is correct. L52-53 mobs on the beach. Swim out to one of the mounds sticking out above the water off-shore. As well as lobsters, expect to land Stonescale Eels, Large Raw Mightfish, Zesty Clam Meat (from Big-Mouth Clams). This area seems to have replaced Azshara since that zone was given over to bad guys.

Commento di 757292

Co-ords in Soulfire Singer's post above of 71, 54.5 confused me at first as when you look at them on the map they look like they are in a Fatiuge area but it's not. There is a large rock there where you can fish and the drop rate on Darkclaw Lobsters, Large Raw Mightfish, & Stonescale Eel is very good although you do fish up quite a bit of rubbish it's still a great spot.

Commento di 120936

Now false. Can be fished in open water in Swamp of Sorrows.

Commento di 45842

No longer found in Azshara! Since the Goblins moved in they must have wiped out the Lobster population.

Commento di 805010

After Cata... fish for these in Azshara on the rock at 71, 54

Commento di 805010

Soulfire SInger is correct. Fish for these in Azshara on the rock at 71, 54.5. Thanks for the coords and the Post Cata info.

Commento di Hullken

For those who doesn't use coords, like me.

The rock that people speak of at 71, 54.5 is located here: Map link.

Good luck :)

Commento di 465217

Misty Reed Strand (73, 9) where the beach party is going on in Swamp of Sorrows is an excellent spot for these lobsters. Also, there is a flight point, Bogpaddle, is located right there.

Happy fishing!

Commento di difficult314

thanks went there cooking level only 273 and did ok

Commento di 124884

Since Cataclysm, the Bay of Storms is still abundant with Darkclaw Lobster. I stood on a rock (that I'm naming Jaz Rock after myself) at 47, 52. Majority of catches were the lobster and some Big-Mouth Clam. Happy fishing.

Commento di 489418

ok this is getting really annoying lol, im trying all spots u guys are listing but even after 80 casts i didnt get a single lobster.

Commento di 822037

As of 4.1 the best place I have found to fish for the Darkclaw Lobster is on the coastline of Swamp of Sorrows, with fishing level at 300 with Bone Fishing Pole I have almost a 50% drop rate

Commento di 672227

First catch in blasted lands after trying 50 casts in Azshara, I went straight to spot mentioned by Kenshinn, 51,86

Commento di 822491

I have been fishing at 71, 54.5 in Azshara and caught over 20 rainbow fin albacore and about a dozen slitherskin mackerel and about 10 oily blackmouths but no lobster if there is another area someone let me know

Commento di Pouned

Confirmed. As of patch 4.1 I have not been able to get any Lobster from Azshara.
After one hour of fishing and trying every spot marked on comments from this page,
all I have been able to fish are in frequency : Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore, Raw Slitherskin Mackerel, Oily Blackmouth and with low probability, a few boxes that are unlocked.

Does not seem to be found anymore in Azshara.

Commento di 433376

Same for me, I spent a half hour fishing in Azshara in the bay and I caught mostly Rainbowfin Albacore and Slitherskin mackerels. I got one Dented Crate containing a copper modulator. And nothing else at all! My fishing is at 505 and I was usuing Bone Fishing Pole. I'm heading to Blasted Lands to try there.

Commento di 374499

After failing in Azshara I tried Blasted Lands. I tried the docks of Surwich but it didn't seem to drop there. I went slightly east of Surwich (just on the other side of the 'river') and got it the first catch.

Commento di 828542

OK so I was having a real hard time trying to get this in Azshara, despite all the comments above. After spending a long time in Azshara with no luck I went to Swamp of Sorrows like some others here suggested...and BANG! 2 casts later plus a Stonescale Eel towards my Oceanographer Achievement!

I hope this helps others!

Commento di Tannko

Seems as if the goblins have polluted the waters of azshara too much for the lobster to thrive... after an hour of looking at comments on here and fishing in different spots i gave up. GOOD NEWS! The lobsters have moved to the shore of the blasted lands, 70,78 was a great spot for cathcing Darkclaw lobster along with Summer bass and stonescale eel.

Happy Fishing once again :)

Commento di Peter4730

18May2011 STAY OUT OF AZSHARA. The comments above refer to .. what .... BEFORE or AFTER Cataclysm? All I know is...stay out of Azshara. U-shaped islands? Between to 53/54 Elites? As at 18May2011, I couldn't see these features, but I wasted HOURS trying to find the D/C Lobster. Wasted time! Blizz have screwed the world as we KNEW it. Head for SwampofSorrows ... I caught the D/C Lobster on second cast. (I also caught LgeRawMightfish same location on third cast) along with heaps of other fishies, which no longer appear in Azshara).

Commento di Peter4730

19May2011. AZSHARA IS NO LONGER A VIABLE PLACE TO FISH unless you want L1-L5 fish. The Wowhead map above is NO LONGER TRUE. For DarkclawLobster and LgRawMightfish, go to shoreline of SwampOfSorrows ( I caught one of each within first 3 casts). Winter Squid? Still looking but fer sure, they ain't in Azshara.

Commento di 819541

Just fished 40 at Red Reaches in blasted Lands, south east of the Dark Portal. Also got Stonescale Eel and several types of trunks.

Commento di 513857

I apologize for hijacking your post, but it is for a good reason.

To those of you fishing for hours upon hours in Azshara to catch this fish, stop now. Since the Cataclysm expansion came out, Azshara was changed to a low level zone, and consequently, fishing in the area is now low level. Darkclaw Lobster, Summer Bass, Winter Squid, and Large Mightfish can no longer be fished here.
The Blasted Lands is now a good area, or any other level 50ish area.

Happy angling!

Commento di 835028

I have been fishing these up in blasted lands at The Red Reaches area...since azhara has turned into the goblin's startin area the fish there are lower lvl ones...enjoy hope this helps out

Commento di Crystarion

Took the portal from Stormwind to the Blasted Lands, flew to the beach by the Murloc's, threw my line in and within a couple of casts I had my lobster.

The Red Reaches 70 X 76

Commento di 840229

Agrre, the pool of tears area in swamp of sorrows gave me about 57% lobsters

Commento di 837065

I fished these in the Blasted Lands in the coasts of The Red Reaches.
I tried on the Bay of Storms and I wouldnt be able to catch a single one. I went to the Blasted Lands and after 5 casts I started getting the Lobsters.

Commento di 842006

Don't go to Azshara! There is nothing there anymore!
After Catalysm you have to go to Swamp of Sorrows!
To the far right side of "The Sunken Temple"..(Temple of Atal' Hakkar) just at the edge
of the map is a big stone...from there every second catch is a Darkclaw Lobster!
Map co-ords (97,49)

Happy fishing:)

Commento di 113955

As of patch 4.1 this "Fish" no longer drops in the Bay of Storms. The best place is to go to the "Swamp of Sorrows." There is a little rock at 97,48 (right to the right center of the map). You can fish from there with nothing to bother you except a neutral lvl 50. I Got a full stack with about 5 extra fish in about 10 minutes. Real easy to get. Skip Azshara as it is now a low level zone.

Commento di 763928

june 18. 2011 In 16 min of fishing, Caught a 12 darckclaw lobsters right off the boat at 68.7 plus 2 mightfish 5 zesty clams, 2 summer bass, 1 yellow tail, and a bunch of junk(wood,tangled line, cloth, and sickly fish)

Commento di 847131

Confirmed for Blasted Lands. I'm at 51,86. Ten minutes and i have 19 darkclaw lobster, 6 summer bass, 2 raw mightfish, 3 stonescale eel and other misc. Great place.

After Cataclysm, Swamp of sorrows is the place to fish these up. I caught 2 stacks in a little less than 30 minutes. My fishing level is 450.

Commento di AgedSerpent

After the CATA upgrade i found the darkclaw lobsters in the blasted lands - at Surwich on the south end of the dock in the dark water. this is for alliance dont know about the horde. seems to be the same kinds of fishing as in Azshara before CATA.

Commento di 776173

I wasted a lot of time trying to get this in Azshara without success. Not sure if something has changed here.

Hopped over to Blasted Lands though and had them in a few casts off the coast.

and 11 Raw summer bass

Happy hunting

Commento di 816369

I tried to fish for these in Azshara on the rock at 71, 54.5 to get the saltwater fishing achievement and was unable to catch the lobster. I caught
29
25
6
and 2 crates.
My fishing level was 635 (525 + Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat + Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole)

Possibly my fishing level was too high or it was because I was Alliance (or both).

Moving to the coast of the Blasted Lands, I caught the lobster on the second cast.

Commento di bloodydrak

as of 8/14/11 it seems Blasted lands is the best place for these. Fished in Azshera for at least an hour and got none, went to Blasted lands and my first two casts had Lobsters.

Commento di Aviendha09

I went to 71.54 rock and fished for 10 mins - and not even 1 x Darkclaw Lobster droped. Either i`m unlucky or this doesnt drop here anymore. Being a item lvl 45 - 55 i`m going to guess u can fish these in : blasted lands and swamps of sorrow only. I`m going to test swamps of sorrow and see if i have better luck there.

Commento di CyanideSun

I've found it in Blasted Lands after a few minutes of fishing.
Just east of Surwich at 52:85 Coord.

It's really a good area for Summer Bass and large Raw Mightfish, too

Commento di 875804

Commento di 560444

Post 4.3, the best place to fish for these is still Blasted Lands.

The Red Reaches, which is the coast line running along the Southeast part of the zone, is the best part to get them. You know you're in the right spot if you see Bloodwash Naga all around you, leading a trail of Murloc slaves.

I went to SofS next to the ship off the coast with a fishing skill level of 1 just to try it out and so far have got to 75 skill level and have 5 lobsters......and 70 trash. Certain that as skill level gets higher the drop rate increases too....

Commento di LightCaster

On the little island in swamp of sorrows at 88,80 I fished for 5 minutes (was chasing Winter Squid). In that 5 minutes I got ten lobster. Seeing as it's next in cooking after squid, I'll be coming back here if I need more, for sure. Great little spot.

Dont forget you need to be a lvl 150 fishing before you catch Darkclaw lobsters in The Swamp of Sorrows

Off the coast of Swamp of Sorrows by the beach party just north of Bogpoddle
Had 251 fishing to start off with using strong fishing pole (+5) equipped with Heat-Treated Spinning Lure (+150) for the 15 minute duration of it. Now I have 269 fishing. Great spot

Commento di Thottbot

Does anyone know the skill required to catch these?

Commento di Thottbot

Using a large iron fishing pole and shinny baubles and that's all with lvl 300 fishing skill. Only missing about 1 out of 10 catches if that.

Commento di Thottbot

I fished for hours there last night with 300+100 (attractor)+20 (big Iron Pole), for a total of 420, and I missed maybe one fish the whole time. I would say that 420 is plenty good enough for this area.

Commento di Thottbot

These are quite common to catch in the GREAT SEA in Azshara. There only appears to be 1 recipe for this and is also pretty lame really, hardly worth it for the skill required to catch these things and much better recipes are out there. I used what I had to grind skill up but don't waste time going after these.

Commento di Thottbot

Still, it makes nice pet food.

Commento di Thottbot

For people who want to get the recipe for this its also avalible in feathermoon stronghold from vivianna

Commento di Thottbot

The mystery is solved! I was fishing for these silly things, but my skill was not high enough in the Bay of Storms, so one step back into the Strand and I was good, so I waited until 230 + 75(lure) and still no good, 240 + 75 nope, 250 + 75 not yet! Okay, okay - Finally at 255 + 75 and I am in!
So, Bay of Storms minimum skill is 330, and first cast brings in a Darkclaw Lobster.

Commento di Thottbot

I was in there last night with 330+20 and only found one of these . It was looted when I killed the silver elite turtle at bay of storms. I did however get 4 essences of water, 5 water globes, 40 Stonescale eel, numerous Firefins, about 20 mithril boxes and some winter squids. I am using Seths Pole too, so when crap attacked me I just used it to kill stuff 168 damage from a fishing pole rocks.

Commento di Thottbot

Maybe I was just lucky, but I stood at Scalebeard's Cave and got a stack of these with 60%+ rate.

Commento di Thottbot

Fishing 375 + 20 pole + 75 lure @ Scalebeard's Cave in Azshara

In ten minutes I caught:
2 Big Mounth Clams (zesty clam meat inside)
2 Sconescale Eel
13 Winter Squid
17 Darkclaw Lobster

That seems like a lot of squid to me. Dunno if the time of day has anything to do with it, but it was approx. 4:30 server time.

Commento di Thottbot

Fishing 250 + seth's (+20) + *ADFA (+100) = 370

In 30 minutes of fishing I got:

22 DARKCLAW LOBSTER
6 WINTER SQUID
12 STONESCALE EEL
4 LARGE RAW MIGHTFISH
? MISC. FISH

I had a 50% failure rate on casts, very frustrating. Recommend you have at least 300 base skill. I used a dozen darkclaw to skill up cooking for an alt to 300 and sold the remaining 10 lobster for 5g. I assume someone else was skilling up their cooking.

*ADFA: Aquadynamic Fish Attractor

Commento di Thottbot

Scalebeard's Cave (54, 48) is a great place for these.
I just finished 2 (+100) lures - 20 minutes - and got 24 of these, 5 skill points and assorted other fish.

Started with 258 base skill, +25 pole and +100 lure.
Lost about 1 out of every 4 or 5 casts.

Commento di Thottbot

What is a fair Price to sell these, i know You need these to make cooking 300! So everyone needs em. I hear the price is up there!

Commento di Thottbot

Hi well I'm fishing to get my cooking up like everyone else, but the only difference is I'm using my trusty strong fishing pole and my fishing skill is now at 239+5 on pole, I'm catching all sorts of fish.

Raw Glossy Mightfish
Large Raw Mightfish
Stonescale eel
Raw Rockscale Cod
Raw Summer Bass
Raw spotted Yellowtail and of course
Big Mouth Clams which 1 had Iridescent pearl & a Black pearl

So when my skill hits 250 to catch the Darkclaw Lobster I'll swim to the cave in the Bay of Storms and Catch them there using my Aquadynmic Fish Attractor giving me +100 to fishing to catch them.

Ok my skill now at 251 and +100 lure i caught 9 Darkclaw Lobsters

Commento di Thottbot

I hate sharing my secret, but as long as you don't tell anyone, I will let you in on it. I spent 30 minutes last night in the Bay of Storms, got approx. 70 darkclaw lobster, and have listed them on the AH for 1g a piece. I have done similar in the past and they sell. If you have any probs selling the lobster, list them on a weekend. If I could name my epic mount, it will be called "Lobster" because that's what paid for it.

Commento di Thottbot

Hey everyone. Look at the screenshot of the female human above.. Go there but instead of standing where she is move into the cave so it says your in Scalebeard's Cave. You can still cast into water but you get more darkclaw lobsters. I am averaging 10 per 5 minutes with 430 fishing :D GL and Happy Fishing!

Commento di Thottbot

i just got done fishing at the cave and i had a good drop rate for the Darkclaw Lobster about 70% and a lot of other fish

Commento di Thottbot

So with a skill in the 280s and nat pagles rod(+25) and a stack of nightcrawlers(+50) i should be ok fishing lobsters in the cave?

Commento di Thottbot

Was leveling cooking for the xmas achievement, and being a person who enjoys fishing i found that this was the best way to go. Picked this + Mightfish recipe out to get me from 290-325.

Chose The Bay of Storms as my ideal fishing spot, in about 30 minutes I got:

Darkclaw Lobster: 32
Winter Squid: 14
Large Raw Mightfish: 12
Stonescale Eel: 11
Spotted Yellowtail: 7
Big-mouth Clam: 4
Heavy Crate: 1

The Lobster + Mightfish amounts were pretty decent, totalling roughly 65% of my casts. The other things can be cooked too but they were gray for me.
Had about 360 base fishing + 20 rod + 100 lure. Minute my lures wore off I got "your fish got away" so id say around 450 total is good to avoid any of this.

Decent for cooking + fishing leveling though.
Happy hunting =)

Commento di Thottbot

I needed these to get my cooking skill up so I went with a skill of 235 + the 100 skill bobber and my +20 skill rod for a total of 355. I was expecting to not get much but actually almost caught something on 50% of my casts.

For the 10 minutes my lure was active I casted 36 times and caught something 17 of those. Here is my catches:

8 Darkclaw Lobster
5 Raw Summer Bass
3 Big-Mouth Clam
1 Reinforced Locked Chest

Happy Fishing.

EDIT: I was fishing at the entrance of Scalebeards Cave

Commento di Thottbot

YOU ARE ALL WRONG! LOL Anyway, I fished here before the patch and you were all right then. Now i was fishing there (skill now 295, nat pagle pole +20, aquatic attracter +100) Well, my attractor wore off and I was still fishing for a few minutes before I realized it. So I think the requirement to fish there has been lowered. I dont know what it is now but I am sure someone will find out.

Peace

ummm....lobster...

Commento di Thottbot

once you get your cooking to 285 go do the quest in silithis the worm meat will get you above 300, don't know how far i stopped at 300 and it was still orange or whatever that color is under red :) also if you read the last patch the lvls for fishing areas has been dropped, you can fish anywhere, you'll just get junk if your not high emough, but it will still raise your lvl.

Commento di Allakhazam

Yes, this is a fished item. You have to go offshore until you are in the Bay of Storms. It takes a very high skill (~325 just to fish). With my 300 skill, +20 pole, +5 string, and +5 hat, I still have to use lures to catch stuff. Even with 405 skill, about one in five fish get away.

About half the catches in the Bay of Storms are the lobsters.

Any use for them other than for food?

69/60 requires atleast 330 fishing in bay

Commento di Allakhazam

Great advice! Was able to get Darkclaw Lobster with out much trouble. Was a little skeptical with the posts below this one, but my fishing started at 220 and was still able to get the Darkclaw Lobster.

Azshara, head NE to Scalebeard's Cave (just off shore).

Commento di Allakhazam

I began fishing in Azhara last night, off the coast on an island. I pulled these out of the water by the hundreds.

Only problem is, you have to have a buffed fishing skill - 320 (300 fish and big iron pole) was not enough! I had to use Baubles too!

Commento di Allakhazam

I randomly picked up a stack of 20 of these in the AH the other day because they were cheap. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that on a lvl 60 pet they add 35 hapiness per tick (or chew...) Anyway, cheaper than roast quail for me, so it might be an easy way to fish or buy good pet food.

Commento di Allakhazam

So you got yourself a Master cookbook. Now what?
Of all the alternative recipes, you need the lobster stew one to avoid cooking all the green recipes for ever and finish your way up to 300 in cooking. The other recipes you might be able to find (for squid or salmon) are harder to fish for in comparison. OK...so you get the recipe from a trader in Feathermoon stronghold (an island off the ferelas coast) and then you go to Azshara to fish in the bay of storms. The lobster's only reason for existence is to help you complete your skill level to 300. After that it is outland recipes up to 375.

Commento di Allakhazam

Do you fish these things, are they drops, or what? I've fished all of these areas and never seen one.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just fished a big amount, along with half a stack of Large Raw Mightfish and other odd things like some Winter Squids, many Stonescale Eels and a Reinforced Locked Chest at 56,52, on a small rock in Hetaera's Clutch in Azshara.
Had 296+75+25 Fishing, nice catch rate, few misses :D
The right place to reach 300 cooking and fishing :D

Commento di Allakhazam

Was really surprised by this; Darkclaw Lobster does indeed average 48g per stack. Which is amazing, given it’s a Bay of Storms trash fish. Specifically it's the fish you're most likely to catch in open water (non fish pool) fishing. And cheeseheadnate is correct. Empirically I've found Scalebeard's Cave is the best place to catch them.

I think the reason this is: Darkclaw Lobster is used in Lobster Stew and cooking Lobster Stew is the easiest way to skill from 275 to 310 cooking. Evidently a lot of players skill up cooking, and skip fishing.

Which goes to show, if you skill up cooking, skill up your fishing simultaneously, and if you skill up fishing, you may as well skill up cooking, because fishing gives you a ton of cooking mats.

As of October 11.2019.. Went Azshara and fished off the East Coast in The Bay of Storms.. about 500 casts and nothing.. So decided to try another location.. Off the East Coast of Blasted Lands in The Forbidding Sea and about my 5th Cast finally got the Darkclaw Lobster for the Achievement The Oceanographer.

Commento di Angryem

I fished forever in Ashara and didn't get anything, tried at the beach in Blasted Lands and got one after maybe 5th try. I went to Swamp of Sorrows to find Large Raw Mightfish (found none there) but instead some more of these Lobsters.

Commento di jfoobar

These are caught in large number in the Bay of Storms, over 50% of catches. If you are a hunter who has been farming Winter Squid during the season and are fishing in the right place (hint: if it lets you cast without a lure. you are in the wrong place), you have caught a bunch of these.

The good news is that, when cooked, this provides the same health boost as Roasted Quail. So instead of paying 1g28s a stack for Quail, you can just cook these up and save money over time on pet food. The bad news is that Lobster Stew is considered fish, so if your pet doesn't eat fish, you are out of luck. You also cannot make any money cooking these and selling them like you can with a lot of meats. If you are like me, you use a pet that eats fish (a cat) for raiding and a pet that doesn't eat fish (in my case, an owl) for solo PvE. So I could save money by carrying these for raiding pet food but I would also need to dedicate a second bag slot for carrying pet food. You'll have to decide if the bag slot (or the hassle of pulling pet food out of the bank when you switch pets) is worth it.

TL:DR: If you have a pet that eats fish, this is nice, cheap pet food that you can get in mass quantities if you fish in the Bay of Storms.

No chance of finding Darkclaw Lobster in Azshara. Spent three days. Flew to Swamp of Sorrows 76.10 Misty Reed Stand and got one on second cast. If you're after Oceanographer, go there.

Started catching these at 60,66 for anyone wanting coords.

Commento di Biancamella

Caught a Darkclaw Lobster in Blasted Lands at /way 72, 66, in a couple of tries. I was fishing for a few minutes south of there previously, but didn't catch any so decided to move.

Commento di Brainsburn

Fished for 20 minutes in Azhara near Scalebeard's lair (fishing skill ~230) and got 1 Large Raw Mightfish, 13 Winter Squid and 19 Darkclaw Lobster.
