I've found the docks near Wetlands to be a great place to fish these.

Kommentar von Omgimdrunk

STV does have a high concentration of Firefins pools, but on PvP servers, standing in one spot with your back to the woods is a guaranteed way to get ganked. The amount of time wasted walking back to your corpse is not worth the amount of FF's. mommyclz is right about Stonetalon in the oil spill's, and their are a lot of em, 99% of the time you will pull a FF. At lvl 40, fish a oil spill till it dissipates and mount to the next one. This is lowbie land so you wont have to be on guard. I got 2 stacks (40 FF's) in an hour and got 3 waves from lvl 2x hordies.

Firefin Snapper schools also appear in Silverpine Forest near the wrecked boat - I don't know if you can fish them when there isn't a school present.

These do not count towards the achievement "Catch x amount of fish"

Question:how do i get message in a bottle?

Kommentar von 357899

Excellent for levelling alchemy, by making Fire Oil. A little fishing can save you time gathering herbs, plus, they don't even need vials anymore.

Kommentar von 499375

The best place I found for these was the northern coast of Stranglethorn Vale. Schools of these were literally spawning on top of each other. (Also an excellent place for Oily Blackmouth Schools)

For the record. Fished 100 fish in STV, here is the result:
x56
x15
x15
x13
Out of 100 fish each quantity should be % of fishing rate, correct me if I'm wrong.

Kommentar von 425876

Just done same as last post -- fished 100 Fish in STV, The Savage Coast.

Results:

58 x Raw rockscale cod
16 x Raw spotted yellowtail
15 x Firefin Snapper
11 x Oily blackmouth

So percentage wise its around 13 - 15% taking both attempts into account.

But then you also need to account for you fishing skill level as well.

As of 4.0.3, are these fishing locations still accurate?

Kommentar von 720736

Found a new location in Desolace 35-30.. there are 30-31 lvl Slitherblade Sorceresses, Warriors and Nagas around.. Firefin Snapper droprate is 38% app.

Kommentar von Ramenka

As of Cat i went to fish for these from the oily pools in Stonetalon,once there i found the oily pools replaced by pools of Greater Sagefish ,it would appear the oily pools no longer exist in the lumber camp.

Kommentar von 667114

Stranglethorn Vale is the best place to farm these. I also managed to fish up the chest containing the consumable that teaches you how to track fish, which is a nice bonus if you're farming these for your alchemist and fish for other professions like cooking as well.

Kommentar von 767674

Apart from STV, found 2 schools along westfall coast (though the area is still dominated by oily blackmouth schools)

Kommentar von rpglover101

Caught quite a few (and a chest with some good loot) off the northern tip of Fray Island in the Barrens.

This fish is an excellent alchemy leveling source. Farm this fish for Feueröl, which goes green in 165, then you can easily do Elixier der Feuermacht with your mats. The elixir turns green in 185, so you can just level up your alchemy from 130 to 185 with this combo :)

Edit: I found many pools at the east coast of Cape of ST, along with oily blackmouth pools. Happy fishing! :)

Kommentar von chrth

I caught these in the open ocean of "The Forbidding Sea" (between Hinterlands and EPL). Looks to be somewhere between 15-25% droprate. Also found Rockscale Cod, Stonescale Eels, Summer Bass (imagine Winter Squid will be available during fall/winter), Big Mouth Clams, Spotted Yellowtail, etc, so it might be a good place to fish to get a bunch of the Swamp of Sorrows/Wetlands/etc requirements for Oceanographer.

Kommentar von 695025

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but I have a teeny suspicion that Oily Blackmouth schools (at least some of them) in Darkshore seem to share a spawn spot with Firefin Snapper schools. I've been farming the Blackmouths to make the free action potion and i've been noticing that when I loop back to the start of the pool spawn spots in Darkshore, I'm coming across a lot more Firefin Snapper Schools and not as many Blackmouth schools. The only way to confirm this is to fish up the firefin snappers to see what spawns in those locations.

I'll edit this post as I continue to fish, but based on current observation, there are a few Blackmouth schools that share spots with Firefin Snapper schools (at least in Darkshore). I can't speak for the other zones since I don't farm in those areas, so if anyone has any insight on spawn sharing in other zones, just feel free to reply to my comment!

Kommentar von sno4270

These can be fished @ the dock at the end of the new Darkmoon Faire Island (when the monthly faire is in town). There is not a pool of 'em, but if you fish in the open water on the right ramp (but probably anywhere there), you can fish up a bunch. And you might also manage to fish up a Sea Pony while you are at it.

Kommentar von 998008

These fish really are very helpful for leveling alchemists (you make fire oil to make and then make other items), and you also level up your fishing!

Kommentar von 838878

Oh snap!

Kommentar von 614435

It seems as though Firefin Snapper schools have now been replaced by Mixed Ocean Schools around Stranglethorn Vale. It's fine if you're looking for a collection of various oils, but if you're farming specifically for fire oil, the grind has now gotten a bit more tedious.

Kommentar von TOM4E

which fishing level i need to do this. cuz i cant lvl up my alchemy

Kommentar von animal446155

found a few in westfall mix of blackmouth fire fin

Kommentar von gbalkam

So first the bad news, yes I reconfirmed it, the pools around the entire stranglethorn area are "mixed ocean fish" (BOOOO BLIZZZ... you suck)

The GOOD news is.. if you take the boat to ratchet, and fly towards theremore, you will find oily blackmouth pools in southern barrens zone and FIREFIN SNAPPER pools when you get into dustwallow marsh. Now, of course those places are listed, I am just confirming the the actual fish come from the actual pools they are actually supposed to! SO.. given this fact, I am voting that barrens, dustwallow, tanaris, etc are now the best places for farming. There may be fewer pools, but you dont have to fish 5 pools to maybe get the type of fish you need.

and.. a bit more good news.. fishing the pools from ratchet on my way to tanaris.. I got:

6 chests (iron bound)
2 strangle kelp
15 oily blackmouth
9 firefin snapper

(from pools) and 2 something or other fish from 2 casts in open water.. the good news being, 34 (aprox) casts got me 5-6 fishing levels to bring me to lev 600. So about 1 level per 5 casts, substantially better than before.

Hardwrench Hideaway

54% Raw Rockscale Cod
22% Raw Spotted Yellowtail
16% Oily Blackmouth
6% Firefin Snapper

Did not fish in schools.

Kommentar von 1322985

I fished in schools of mixed ocean fish around the coastline of Stranglethorn Vale and Booty Bay for about an hour on Hyjal server. Fishing directly from the pools, I got about 50 oily blackmouth fish and 60 firefin snappers. I also got quite a few Iron Bound Chests that contained silver, some greens, potions, cloth and leather. In one of the chests, I found the book that allows you to learn fish finding. Overall, I'd say that STV is a good place to fish for these.

Kommentar von stickshift

With the 10th anniversary looming, I'm making it a point to slow down and appreciate the changing of the game after all this time. The Firefin Snapper (one of the coolest-looking icons btw) brings back alot of memories. Fishing was not popular back in the vanilla days; there were no pools and to get to the valuable catches (at lvl 25 or so) you actually had to risk life-and-limb to get to the premo fishing holes. As a result, this fish was worth alot in the AH.

The only item this was (and still is) a reagent for is Fire Oil, but man was fire power and protection huge in pvp and some dungeons. I'd literally spend hours leveling my fishing up on seven toons in Booty Bay. I'd put some music on or watch a football game while staring at my bobberless line in the water. I have this and the million off-catches to thank for my first epic mount.

EDIT: People level so quickly now, about the only real purpose the oil serves these days is making Crimson Silk gear for mogging or twink buffs. Personally, I just give them to people leveling their alchemy tradeskill in that range.

Kommentar von 950254

Although STV only has the mixed pools now, it's still a decent place to farm for the Firefin Snappers. It's about a 50/50 for Oily Blackfish and Firefin Snappers. I ended up with 30 Blackfish and 27 Snappers after about an hour of farming pools.

Kommentar von bookworm13

The data for the fishing location map pins seem to be out of date. The worst example is Darkmoon Island which only has Dunkelmond-Dolchmaul in open water now.

The best way to find fishing pools now is to look instead under Database > Objects > Fishing Pools. You'll see that Ein Schwarm Feuerflossenschnapper is up to date and Darkshore is probably your best bet.

Kommentar von Glubette

This is my first post so forgive me if the links don't work as intended. STV is still a good place to fish for these and of course with the allied races these low level profession mats are once again useful. I could not find these on the AH on my server so I made a special trip to get some. Starting at the north eastern shore and making one full trip around STV to the most north western shore I fished every single Ein Schwarm Meeresfische as well as the Blutsegelwrackteile, which yielded Eisenbeschlagener Koffer and Würgetang but no fish. The most lucrative spot for me was around 41.77, 50.70 in the little bay by the swirly waterfall where I found about 6 fishing nodes all tightly grouped together. So to the numbers, one single trip around the area netted me:
x69 Feuerflossenschnapper
x80 Öliges Schwarzmaul
x23 Würgetang
x25 Eisenbeschlagener Koffer

Hopefully this helps someone out there.

My warrior who was doing this also had 800(+60) fishing skill and some of the pools, despite the fishing skill only allowed me one or two casts. While not necessary, a water walking ability of some kind could prove helpful in some areas.
