Watch: Dalaran Fishing

This 2 and a half minute movie illustrates the guide written below.

Travel to Dalaran

Wrath of the Lich King moves Dalaran from Azeroth to Northrend. It now floats above Crystalsong Forest, in the centre of Northrend (pictured left). It is a neutral city, similar to Shattrath.

At level 74 or above, take the quest "The Magical Kingdom of Dalaran", which starts from several different quest-givers: Looking in the main towns in lower-level Northrend zones. For alliance, the quest starts from Baron Ulrik von Stormhearth (in Valgarde, Howling Fjord), Image of Archmage Modera (in Stars' Rest, Dragonblight), Magister Dath'omere (in Valiance Keep, Borean Tundra), Magistrix Haelenai (in Amberpine Lodge, Grizzly Hills), Magister Teronus III (at The Argent Stand, Zul'Drak), or Vas the Unstable (in Wintergarde Keep, Dragonblight).

You will then be able to use the teleport crystal device in the ruins, on the ground, on far western side of Crystalsong Forest. This allows travel between the city and Crystalsong Forest. Mages take the quest "Attunement to Dalaran", which is currently available at level 71.

Mages can learn a portal spell for Dalaran (reported at level 74). Special mages (that is, warlocks) can also summon. In practice, this means that anyone can reach Dalaran at any level.

At level 77 you can learn Cold Weather Flying (from the flying trainer at Krasus Landing in Dalaran). You can then fly into the city on your own flying mount. You can only fly out from certain parts of the city, such as Krasus Landing.

Dalaran Fishing

Dalaran is a neutral city, where "sanctuary" rules prevent Horde and Alliance attacking one another. Like the big cities of Azeroth, you can rest (gain the rested experience bonus) while fishing in Dalaran.

The waters of Dalaran require 525 skill to stop catching junk.

There are 3 different areas of open water, each with unique catches. These areas are marked on the map, right:

• The Underbelly - The sewers beneath the city contain a lot of water, most of which can be fished. There are 2 ramped entrances to the Underbelly from the surface level of Dalaran (shown on the map), plus a magic well (which will teleport you into the sewers) and a tunnel which can be used by those flying into the city on their own flying mount.
• Outside the Violet Hold - The waters in front of Dalaran's prison dungeon, The Violet Hold.
• The Eventide Fountain - The fountain next to the fishing trainer, in The Eventide district of the city. As the Bent Fishing Hook prove, this is physically tricky to fish in, because the area of water is very small: Position yourself a few steps back from the edge of the fountain, and most casts will land in the water.

There are no pools in Dalaran: All fish are caught from open water.

Underbelly

There are 2 common catches from the Underbelly, Magic Eater and Sewer Carp, plus various vials used by Alchemists, and some rats (detailed below). Sewer Carp can be eaten raw as food, but gives no buff. Magic Eater is more interesting:

• Magic Eater
• Eaten raw: Restores 13200 health, requires level 70.
• Gives a buff: Randomly either "Wild Magic" or "Well Fed":
  • Wild Magic buff turns you into a basilisk, locust, whelp, or whisp, and prevents you casting or attacking for 1 minute.
  • Well Fed buff gives +30 Stamina for 1 hour, plus randomly one of: +60 Attack Power, +30 Critical Rating, +30 Haste Rating, +12 MP5, or +35 Spell Power.

The buff is random, however if you gain Wild Magic you can continue to eat further fish. So if you are prepared to eat a lot of fish, you will eventually gain a useful buff! There is a better chance of gaining Well Fed than Wild Magic. These buffs are not as good as the best Buff Food, but Magic Eater are easy to catch and do not need to be cooked.

The table below lists the chance of catching each fish from the Underbelly:

Giant Sewer Rat

Keen anglers will notice that rats keep falling into the water of the Underbelly, and that something is eating the fish. That something is a Giant Sewer Rat!

• Giant Sewer Rat
• Binds when picked up.
• Minipet: Teaches you how to summon a Giant Sewer Rat (pictured right).

Once caught, the Giant Sewer Rat will follow you as a minipet (non-combat pet). The rat is rather large: Almost as large as me!

The pet binds to the angler when caught, so like Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad, only the angler can gain this minipet.

Catching the Giant Sewer Rat awards the achievement, "I Smell A Giant Rat".

This is a rare catch: I caught almost 600 fish, Stephenn caught 300, another angler caught the Giant Sewer Rat after just 5 catches, and others are still trying... The catch rate seems similar to Mr. Pinchy, with 2 important differences: The Giant Sewer Rat is caught from open water, which is easier to fish than Highland Mixed School. Catching the Giant Sewer Rat guarantees gaining the pet - catching Mr. Pinchy only gives a chance of gaining a Magical Crawdad pet.

Good luck!

Underbelly Elixir

Down in the Underbelly you will rarely find green jars on the ground labelled "Underbelly Elixir". These can be picked up and drunk.

• Underbelly Elixir
• Binds when picked up (no confirmation).
• Use: You sure about this? This elixir only works in the City of Dalaran.

Drinking the elixir will normally either make you see all the residents of Dalaran in wizard robes, or transform you into a flying wasp.

However, sometimes you will be transformed into a "Hungry Tuskarr". This gives a +50 fishing skill bonus for 10 minutes. This +50 bonus stacks with gear and lures: It is now possible to gain over +200 to your personal fishing skill. The elixir can only be consumed in Dalaran, but the effects remain if you travel to other places. Underbelly Elixir are also rare, and most do not give this buff.

Outside the Violet Hold

The waters outside the Violet Hold mostly contain Shimmering Minnow and Slippery Eel. Both these fish can be eaten raw. Shimmering Minnow simply restores health. Slippery Eel also gives a buff to your Dodge Rating:

• Slippery Eel
• Eaten raw: Restores 13200 health, requires level 70.
• Buff: +30 Dodge Rating for 1 hour.

To help you fish, 2 alcoholic beverages can be caught. The more you drink, the longer you will spend arguing what the difference is between them: Half Empty Bottle of Prison Moonshine and Half Full Bottle of Prison Moonshine...

The table below lists the chance of catching each fish outside the Violet Hold:

Bloodied Prison Shank and Partially Rusted File are junk items - although the Shank sells for several gold.

Rusted Prisoner's Footlocker

Very rarely you will catch a Rusty Prison Key from the water outside the Violet Hold:

• Rusty Prison Key
• Binds when picked up (no confirmation dialogue).
• "Resembles a key used to open underwater treasure chests..."

The Rusty Prison Key will be placed on your keyring. This key can then be used to open the nearby Rusted Prisoner's Footlocker. The footlocker is found under the water, in one of the caged areas, just below the entrance to the Violet Hold (pictured right). Opening the footlocker will destroy the key. However, you can catch many keys, and each one will open a fresh footlocker: The Rusted Prisoner's Footlocker reappears in the same place after a few seconds.

The Rusted Prisoner's Footlocker contains some rare quality weapons or armor, potions, and other items, such as Crude Eating Utensils - "There is no spoon."

Eventide Fountain

Many races, even gnomes, have a tradition of throwing coins into fountains and making wishes. Dalaran's Eventide fountain has existed a very long time. Over that history, many very famous people have thrown coins into the fountain and made a wish.

Anglers can fish in the fountain. Alongside Fountain Goldfish (which can be eaten raw, if you are very hungry) and Bent Fishing Hook (which cannot be used), anglers will find coins!

There are 3 grades of coin: Copper, Silver and Gold. Each coin caught from the fountain bares the name of the person that threw the coin into the water, and an inscription of their wish. For example:

• Landro Longshot's Copper Coin
• "I wish I'd kept that coin..."

Everyone from Dornaa to Arthas has made a wish: Anglers that study the history of Azeroth will find some of these coins very interesting (I will not describe them all here).

These Copper and Silver coins are special items that cannot be used as money. However, they can be sold to vendors for more than their face value - up to a few silver. Gold Coins have a special use:

• Gold Coin
• Binds when picked up (no confirmation dialogue).
• Use: Throw this coin back into the Dalaran fountain.

Throwing the Gold Coin back into the fountain gives a buff called "Lucky". This increases the chance catching coins in the fountain for 2 minutes. As the table below shows, the chance of catching a coin (of any type) approximately doubles when Lucky.

If your cast lands very close to the edge of the water (bricks or rocks), you may catch a fish from Dalaran's Underbelly.

There are 4 Fishing Achievements for catching coins:

• A Penny For Your Thoughts - Fish up all the Copper Coins.
• Silver in the City - Fish up all the Silver Coins.
• There's Gold In That There Fountain - Fish up all the Gold Coins.
• The Coin Master - Complete these fishing achievements: A Penny For Your Thoughts, Silver in the City, and There's Gold In That There Fountain. Awards the Titanium Seal of Dalaran - a coin you can flip. If the coin is used while transformed into a fish by the Hook of the Master Angler, your weapon will be displayed in your fish's flipper (thanks ohashi).

The achievements, and the interesting history the coins reveal are the only known reasons to fish in the fountain. The coins can be sold, but Northrend anglers will make more money from fish that can be sold at auction. No special rare catch has been found (yet).

Giant Sewer Rat

1. Lunaire, November 2008:

   Fished up this "beauty" today, and here are the stats for those interested :)

   Dalaran, Cantrips & Crows: 968 catches

   Sewer Carp: 54,6%
   Magic Eater: 25,2%
   Empty Vial: 6,5%
   Drowned Rat: 5,9%
   Partially Eaten Fish: 4,5%
   Leaded Vial: 1,9%

2. Marlburo, November 2008:

   at about 600 casts right now....stats will come

3. Rutilcaper, November 2008:

   Been happily fishing in the sewers all day, and I've had 3 lost catches, even at 450 skill with +25 rod, +100 lure and +5 hat. I'm terrified that this is the rat and I somehow keep missing it.

   What gives? I thought I had more than enough skill to prevent get-aways. And for that matter, is the type of fish determined when the bobber hits (thus giving credence to my fears) or after you successfully catch it?

1. Walnut, November 2008:

   Got him after 1380 casts.

   Sewer Carp: 731
   Magic Eater: 384

   Leaded Vial: 21
   Crystal Vial: 7
   Imbued Vial: 3
   Enchanted Vial: 3
   Giant Sewer Rat: 1

   When I was around 900 casts an ally pala came and got him after 2 casts..

3. Lunaire, November 2008:

   To Rutilcaper: I also had some fish that i catched, but didnt get.. I use fishing buddy, and a double right click on the bobber both loots and re-casts immediately. Also i have an addon for auto-confirming BoP loot. So i've seen the lott window show briefly, but then the recast came so fast, that i didnt see what i fished.. And nothing in my bags.. So i dont know, it might be possible, but who knows :p

   At least its 525 to prevent getaways, so you're over that with a good margin.

   Wish you luck, this is an awesome pet! ^^

4. Robodin, November 2008:

   Dare I say it?

   12 casts :)

   Had been chilling out a bit after 6 dungeon runs in one go, fishing in the fountain to get a few coins, when I decided to try my luck in the Underbelly. And voila, 12 casts later, I got it :D

5. Moogle Stiltzkin, November 2008:

   My friend Sadcap fishing beside me got it. He spent only 1-2 hour fishing. I spent 14 hours but no catch, but i saw 2 big sewers rats dropped in that interval.

   Picture uploaded

6. Cayena, November 2008:

   Got my Giant Sewer Rat today after 539 casts. Now only Ironjaw to go!

7. Kahless, November 2008:

   Don't hate me but, I caught him on my very first cast in the sewers.

8. Minnow, November 2008:

   I spent 4-5 hours fishing yesterday, and then half an hour this morning before I got him!

   This is for time spent fishing in the Cantrips and Crows area. I spent more time near the Arena guys, but decided to go back... this doesn't show the information for the Arena area.

   Sewer Carp 302 60.2%
   Magic Eater 108 21.5%
   Empty Vial 42 8.4%
   Drowned Rat 23 4.6%
   Partially Eaten Fish 17 3.4%
   Leaded Vial 6 1.2%
   Crystal Vial 1 0.2%
   Giant Sewer Rat 1 0.2%
   Enchanted Vial 1 0.2%
   Imbued Vial 1 0.2%

9. GormanGhaste, November 2008:

   Took me 1200+ catches off the pier in Cantrips and Crows--got her right before maintenance started today!

10. Narius, November 2008:

    I must say that this one was much easier than the notorius Mr. Pinchy, took about 300 catches or so while fishing off of the pier by the fishing vendor in the sewers.

11. Kiena, November 2008:

    After more hours than I dare admit, having been named the insane fishing lady of my guild, approximitely 2800 casts (my fishing buddy somehow reset in the middle, so no exact number), I finally got my sewer rat. I even opened a ticket and talked to a GM, asking for any potential bugs with this catch - the GM was very nice and told me there were no problems, and wished me good luck without mentioning what a sorry person I am for having fished for, I think it was 6 or so hours at that time, and that was way before I actually got it.
    Random really is random. Mr Pinchy I got quite quickly - twice - and the pet on the first try, but this just seemed hopeless. But the beauty of fishing - while my guild officially thinks I'm insane with all of the fishing, I have gotten lots of time to talk to everyone :)
    Most of the time was spent fishing at Cantrips and Crows.

12. Pespi, November 2008:

    I obtained my Giant Sewer Rat after about 600 casts.
    I fished from the rowing boat at Cantrips and Crows on the 2nd day of WotLK.

    I haven't noticed anyone else on my server with it yet but good luck to all those trying ^_^

13. Atenhara, November 2008:

    Caught it on my second attempt after 20 minutes with 557 fishing. I didnt keep track of how many casts it took me, maybe a hundred at most.

14. Diendond, November 2008:

    Woot! Caught this in exactly 8 minutes!

15. Ravennaraven, November 2008:

    Got him took 3:30 min to catch spread out over a couple of tries, made sure auto loot was off so i would not lose him like i did with mr, pinchy :-(

16. Arek, November 2008:

    The worst part about these rare catches is all the time I have to browse on here and see all the people who have caught them so easily...

    Grrrr...

    1500 on the sewer rat with no luck...
    2800 on the dark herring with no luck...

17. Mala, November 2008:

    ~150 catches for the rat

Locations in the Underbelly for catching the Giant Sewer Rat

1. js98101, November 2008:

   Hi there.

   While attempting to catch a Giant Sewer Rat in the shallow water in the Circle of Wills (the area with arena masters in the Underbelly), I had someone come up and tell me I was fishing in the wrong place. He said I needed to be down below, where Cantrips and Crows is.

   Can anyone confirm or deny this please?

2. el, November 2008:

   Anywhere that you are catching fish like Magic Eater should be good. Essentially any water "underground".

3. js98101, November 2008:

   Thanks for the quick response el!

1. Kahless, November 2008:

   I caught mine off the pier next to the Underbelly Inn.

2. stormydawn, November 2008:

   I actually caught mine just now while fishing in the Wishing Fountain and not in the Underbelly at all. Maybe it's catchable anywhere in Dalaran?

3. Zahana, November 2008:

   There's a bit of a glitch in the fountain where it thinks you are in the underbelly is your cast lands in just the right spot.

4. el, November 2008:

   The problem with the fountain is that the boundaries are not very well defined. If your cast lands at the edge of the water, you gain an Underbelly fish. There is a topic about it here. (Zahana beat me to it.)

5. Lanayru, November 2008:

   Lanayru, blood elf hunter on Azuremyst. I just caught my rat at about 3:00pm server after 170 casts.

   Fishing Skill: 556 (428 base, +28 from rod and lure, +100 fishing hook)

   Sewer Carp - 106 caught (62.4%)
   Magic Eater - 41 caught (24.1%)
   Empty Vial - 9 caught (5.3%)
   Partially Eaten Fish - 6 caught (3.5%)
   Drowned Rat - 4 caught (2.4%)
   Leaded Vial - 3 caught (1.8%)
   Giant Sewer Rat - 1 caught (0.6%)

   Total: 170.

6. acrine, November 2008:

   Just got mine after only about 1 hour and 40 minutes, 276 casts.

   Location: Cantrips & Crows
   Sewer Carp: 151 (54.7%)
   Magic Eater: 64 (23.2%)
   Empty Vial: 19 (6.9%)
   Drowned Rat: 18 (6.5%)
   Partially Eaten Fish: 14 (5.1%)
   Leaded Vial: 5 (1.8%)
   Crystal Vial: 3 (1.1%)
   Enchanted Vial: 1 (0.4%)
   Giant Sewer Rat: 1 (0.4%)

7. Aineko, December 2008:

   Got mine near the inn with the little dock.

8. Jackskeleton, December 2008:

   got mine on the mini plank next to the dock after spending a good few hours. started in the circle of wills before reading up here bout cantrips and crows area. over all went from 398 to 415 in one sitting. mate went from 388 to 430 and didnt get it =s

   i have the
   Extreme Anger FC 5000. (+25)
   Weather-beating fishing hat +(5) (use: attach +75 lure)
   +100 lures

9. killeth@hotmail.com, May 2009:

   I finally got mine too. I casted over 700 times. I even fished up a ROCK. My base skill is maxed at 450, i am using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (+30) and using the 1 hour (+100) Glow worm for a total of 580 fishing skill. I fished up in the "The Black Market" area right in front of Darhir facing the entrance to the area. If you are facing the entrance you'll be on the left side of the entrance. Hope that makes sense and helps somebody out.

Dalaran really 525?

1. Kemtgor, November 2008:

   Just curious if this is really the skill to avoid getaways... I'm sitting ~515, but I got all of 12 catches fishing for 10 minutes chain-casting. Even if each took 20 seconds, which it didn't, that's still 20% while only 10 skill short. Was I just having awful luck, or is it higher?

2. Jbz, November 2008:

   Yep, its 525.

   Thats pretty terrible luck.

   :D

3. metameat, June 2010:

   It is confirmed: you can catch the Giant Sewer Rat while fishing in the Eventide Fountain. I caught one before I managed to find my last gold coin on my level 15 Alt:
   http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Underbog&cn=Rincewind

   I started fishing in the fountain at fishing level 1. Leveled all the way to 450 trying to get the Coin Master. The only place I have fished was that fountain. Woot!

1. el, June 2010:

   Casts that land at the edges of the fountain catch Underbelly fish. Hence it is possible to catch a Giant Sewer Rat there, but only if your casts land at the edge. Much easier to catch it from the Underbelly itself.

2. hoooyeeeaaa, June 2010:

   Thanks for that tip el I'm gonna start the coin master soon myself good to know you can go for the sewer rat at the same time.

3. el, June 2010:

   Hoooyeeeaaa - in this case, it is more effective to fish separately for each. When fishing in the fountain, you'll want fountain catches all the time, otherwise you waste part of the benefit of the gold coin lucky buff. The lucky buff won't buff Underbelly catches like the Sewer Rat - it only applies to fountain catches like coins. It's also far easier to fish for the Sewer Rat in the Underbelly itself, because there's a lot more water to choose from.

Slightly OT: Getting to Dalaran

1. Gummo, September 2008:

   While the obvious/easiest way would be to ask a level 74+ mage for a portal, a level 71 mage (who can teleport to Dalaran) or any player in Dalaran (seen with /who dalaran) can get you there, assuming Blizzard doesn't change this:

   1. Group
   2. Have the person in Dalaran queue up as a group in all battlegrounds with the Dalaran battlemaster
   3. Enter first BG that comes up
   4. /afk out of the BG (or play it out) and you come back out at the Dalaran battlemaster.

2. LinkyKeram, September 2008:

   Hopefully yes, that a mage can yust teleport you there, as pepol did this in BC's Shattrath :D

3. el, September 2008:

   I believe the battleground "trick" requires you to be at least 70, since you need to be in the correct bracket (but I'm not sure what the lowest level is for AV now). I still don't understand why Blizzard insist on a level 74 quest for personal entry, but yet allow level 1s to portal/summon in.

1. Gummo, September 2008:

   Right, the BG invite trick requires that you all be in the same level bracket, presumably 70-79 (or in some BGs 71-80?), similar to the current brackets.

   I bring it up because you'll see level 71 mages a lot sooner than level 74 mages after the WotLK launch; once level 74 mages are common, portals will be the usual method again. But there should be level 71 mages after a couple of days or so, while you won't see 74s much until a couple of weeks have gone by. And there's fishin' in Dalaran!

2. Wyzo, May 2010:

   I first went to Dalaran at level 39, but it could be done at just about any level. Here's how:

   First, I made sure all of my items were at 100% durability. I took the ship from Stormwind Harbor to Valiance Keep. I left the keep and found the first thing to attack. I was killed. I then ghost ran from the graveyard down the road towards Dragonblight. I ghost ran through Dragonblight to Crystalsong Forest.

   Once you cross the border into Crystalsong forest, you get a spirit mount. You then fly as high as you can. When you get above Dalaran, you lose the spirit mount and drop in the city. I went as close as I could to the Violet Citadel because once you drop into the city, you need to go to the right of the stairs leading up to the Violet Citadel (as you're looking up the stairs). In the small graveyard there beside the Violet Citadel is a Spirit Healer.

   Log out, log back in.

   Get resurrected then go to the Silver Enclave and leave your hearthstone.

   I just completed my Coin Master Achievement. Man, it takes forever to get all those coins and I must have fished up every other coin at least four times, and some five or six times, before I got Archimonde's Gold Coin.

   :-D

Dangerous in Dalaran?

1. Gummo, September 2008:

   The WotLK fishing section says this about the fishing trainers:
   "However, all the Northrend trainers are safe to visit at low level, except Marcia Chase in Dalaran."

   I assume she's safe to visit at a low level, since you'd need a portal/summon, just not easy until there are more level 74+ mages. Or are the large rats hostile?

2. el, September 2008:

   Dalaran isn't dangerous once you are there. It's just dangerous to reach without a summon/portal. In contrast the arrival "ports" can be soloed at any level - just don't go outside. I've updated the text, thanks.

3. Gummo, September 2008:

   Actually, this made me think that ALL capital cities should have hostile rats about level 5. Real players could deal with them, and they'd eat the gold spammers.

1. Bekkabakoo, September 2008:

   Dalaran was very dangerous when the beta was first opened up, and there were invisible holes you could step into and fall to your death down on the ground from a thousand feet up. But that was before you could actually catch fish anywhere.

   HAHA thats an awsome idea , please post it as a suggestion for blizz , could help us against those lvl 1 spammers in the big cities.

Underbelly Shark

1. el, January 2009:

   On the 3.0.8 Public Test Realm (and I assume, on live), there is a new angler fishing in Dalaran's Underbelly - Sebastian Bower. He says:

   I know, I know... "fishing in a sewer?" But you'd be surprised what you can catch down here. I've even heard stories of sharks, if you can believe it.

   Well, there is a large shark in the rogue area - but you cannot catch it. I've tried to confirm these "stories of sharks you can catch" during testing, but I did not catch anything new in over a thousand catches.

   But I'm still curious... Is there anything new lurking in the water?

2. TheTacoMan, January 2009:

   In the WOTLK beta there was info for a 'baby shark' minipet, that you could only summon in the water. I assume that this was removed due to awkwardness. While a cool idea, a mini-pet tat you could only use underwater would be mostly useless.

   If they made it a 'magic shark' that could fly through the air, that would be cool (Come on people, dalaran IS the city of mages, it could happen)

3. justicehand, April 2009:

   The name of the shark in the sewers is Segacedi i just swam down and killed him in the waters of the Black Market. He didn't drop anything for me. I was told this is a reference to the sega cd game "Sewer Shark".

   Another idea is that the shark could be in a fish tank on wheels, this would be wheird but would explain how it could be used above water.

Giant Sewer Rat in the Dalaran Fountain?

1. Extreme Angler Velen, April 2009:

   So i was fishing for the coins today in the Dakaran Fountain when i came across our furry little friend at first i was happy because i finally caught the rat, but then a friend of mine and a fellow fisherman pointed out that i shouldn't of been able to catch the rat in the Fountain. So i decided to post it here to see if this happened to anyone else..

   The edges of the fountain count as the Underbelly. Don't worry, it wasn't a glitch. We've always known that you could catch a rat there in theory, it's just unlikely. Congrats, I've been wanting to see that happen in awhile!

   On another note, I wouldn't recommend showing the screen shot on the WoW forums. You could have easily caught it in the underbelly before heading up to the fountain to take the screenshot (as there's a significant amount of time between the catch and the shot)

   Yep. If youll notice sometimes you catch other underbelly fish in the fountain edges. sewer carp and picked clean bones, etc.
