[Fishing] Strannggeee Lava Fishing...

[Longforge]

Location: Gargoyle City (Illshenar)

Skill: 94 Fishing
Activity: Lava Fishing

So I'm fishing up the lava rocks and goodies from the lava tiles as you enter the city. I put a trusty ole' lava hook on my fishing pole.

I found it very odd that during this break from the grind to find some treasure that I landed TWO Autumn Dragonfish from the lava. One was 29 stones and the other was 125 stones.

I had no idea that these fish resided in lava tiles and/or that 94 fishing could even possibly land them.

Bug?

Likely a bug.

However, you can pull Autumn Dragonfish with skill less than 94 as per the following table found elsewhere in Stratics:

Fishing in the High Seas

I'd be interested to see what other little "gems" like this that are out there...

 

[Petra Fyde]

Autumn dragonfish are found by fishing in Ilsh. Doesn't seem to matter whether it's lava or water, as long as you're on that facet.

 

[Doubleplay]

Correct me if I am wrong, but the fishing skill column in "fishing in the high seas" is the skill the person had who first reported success catching the fish. I don't think anyone has nailed the minimum skill necessary for any special or rare fish.

 

[Petra Fyde]

You are correct, that's why there's a * by the entries and a matching foot note:

*Denotes the skill level at which the specimen was caught. This should be taken as a guide only, not a definitive 'minimum to catch' figure
