Oily Blackmouth

Recommended Posts

Much time spent over several  days at: Darkshore coast, Zorum Strand, Westfall Coast, Wetlands harbor and up and down the coast, Arathi  Faldir's cove  - not a single oily blackmouth.  Please don't tell me I'm not trying hard enough - this is an issue.  If you are catching Oily Blackmouth on Elysium realm, or not, please support or debunk this issue with location and percentage caught.

My fishing is currently  145 + 100 lure.  Please don't tell me this is a "high" level fish.  Fishing level is related to zone level, and this has always been an easy semi- rare at beginner levels.

Desolace and feralas are good places. Tanaris, moonglade and azshara are somewhat ok as well.

i don't play on Elysium, but these are where they are most likely to be caught.

Percentage?  Recently, in the past few months, or after they removed fishing pools?

Needing to go to Desolace or Feralas makes this a "high" level fish to catch. 

I think the issue or bug here is Oily Blackmouth are no longer in the loot tables of LOWER level fishing zones at all, which is where they have been traditionally fished for the past 15(?)  years .  This is legacy WoW - I hope it gets corrected soon!  I'm saving all my stranglekelp!

In case more proof is needed that this is a bug, just check the AH.  Only 5 sellers.  Unit price 38s-99s.  Stacks 10-12 gold

Recently, past few months, after they removed the pools and the reintroduction of pools on Anathema confirms these are decent locations for them. As for percentages, i'd guess at around 10%, slightly higher percentage wouldn't surprise me though. Desolace being the best if you want to target oily only, i think.

I don't recall them ever being a low level fish on Nost/Ana, they were always these zones for the most part. The lowest zone i recall catching them is STV i think, but i wouldn't go there if i wanted oily specifically.
