Catching Magic Eater
- Notes: Caught from the Underbelly (sewers) of Dalaran.
- Commentary: For anglers that idle in Dalaran waiting for raids or battlegrounds to start, these fish are easy to catch. The buff gained from eating this fish is random, but seems to be more likely to make you "Well Fed" than turn you into another creature. If you experience Wild Magic, you can continue to eat. So, if you have about 10 of these fish, you should be able to get the buff you want. Anglers that cook will find it more effective to catch and cook other fish that give a single, consistent buff.

Sewer Carp and Magic Eater in the Eventide
andy73, August 2009:
I was fishing in the eventide to increase my skill, and find some coins, and I happened to find not only a sewer carp, but also a magic eater!

Casts that land at the edge of the fountain catch Underbelly fish.

I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining.
Kovlish, January 2010:
Need to update Vendor: Value to 62c - I think that's pretty standard price for dalaran junk now including drowned rat and partially eaten fish.
Borokh, January 2010:
It's said someone has caught the rat from here too, although I haven't seen any proof. It's seems plausible though since you can catch sewer fish.
