Elder Clearwater is a NPC added in 3.3 that gives the "Kalu'ak Fishing Derby" quest. The first player to bring him a Blacktip Shark wins either an heirloom ring that gives stamina, crit, hit, and +5% experience, or a pair of boots that give +15 fishing skill and a teleport to Booty Bay (24 hour cooldown). The tournament is held on Saturdays at 2:00pm.

for whould be fisherman - this event is gona be bigger then STV one, and we all know why: I suggest you get yourself a nice pvp set (and some knowledge) for the pvp server guys. Mind you the shark has a rather quick drop, so make darn sure your HS is on CD and that you loot ur fish fast, 1st ever on my server got it in 6 min.

wtf! is it WEDNESDAYS or SATURDAYS?

the patch notes said Wednesday:

"The all-new Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, a test of fishing skill with a healthy dash of luck, has come to Northrend! Every Wednesday beginning at 8 PM players can try to catch the elusive Blacktip Shark."

but just about every other site i've looked this up on is saying that it's on Saturdays at 2pm...

i just spent an hour fishing for this shark (today, a wednesday) with what appeared to be a rather competitive number of other players around me wherever i went. i didn't find the shark, but when i hearthed back to dalaran at 8:55 just to see what Elder Clearwater was like, he wasn't there.

i can't be the only one who is confused. i'm guessing it's on saturdays because i didn't notice a winner announcement while i was fishing either.

thanks for the super accurate patch notes blizz!

There is no quest to pick up..
Just catch the shark anywhere there is suckerfish and turn it in when you have it.
So you can find yourself a nice spot and just heart back when you get your shark.
Elder Clearwater will yell when the contest begins so you will not be in doubt when it starts or when the first shark has been turned in..

This guy's got some vocal power! He can yell all across Northrend.

MAKE SURE HEARTH IS UP! Got Shark today within 3 minutes of Derby start but hearthstone was on CD so i had to FP and halfway to Dalaran someonelse won the Derby. :(

I have a quick question. What Level of fishing do you have to be in order to do the Derby?

Kommentar von zigtoria

His name is a reference to the Twilight Saga books. In the story there is an elder of the Indian tribe named Harry Clearwater and he loves to fish.

inb4 twilight bashing

Nominated to one of World of Warcraft's best yellers.

Does anyone know at what point the event is over? I.e.: when you can no longer get Better Luck Next Time?

Kommentar von dumytm

Actually it goes something like this:

The quest giver Elder Clearwater appears in Dalaran 1 hour before contest begins AKA at 1pm server time.
5 minutes before the start of the contest he will yell a warning that can be heard throughout inland Northrend.
At 2pm everybody starts fishing until someone catches the Blacktip Shark, delivers the quest item, and he/she is announced as winner.
Until 3pm the shark can still be fished by others.
At 3pm, Elder Clearwater will yell across Northrend that the contest is over. Blacktip Shark will stop appearing in pools.
Elder Clearwater will then remain in Dalaran one hour more, until 4pm allowing the rest of the sharks to be turned in for Better Luck Next Time.

Keep in mind that the shark has a 1 hour timer on it so if you catch it at 2:20 you must deliver it by 3:20 not 4:00!

Good luck everyone

Does he have a despawn timer? Today nobody caught the shard within the hour, I think I may have been the only one fishing for it. After an hour and 5 minutes I went to Dalaran to see if somehow I missed him yelling out the winner, and he's not even there.

Kommentar von Sygmoral

He is one of the many NPCs that, in Warcraft-style, have some "annoyed" speech lines when you click them many times.

Normal:

I will hear you.
What troubles you?
You company is welcome.
You have my attention.
Let us visit for a while.
May I help?

Annoyed:

Are you staying long?
Your disposition is... fishy.
My people have twenty words for the sea.
But we have none to describe your behaviour.
... wha, wha? Hm. You were saying something...?

This fat ass Kalu'ak popped in my face around 1PM while fishing in the dala fountain, i tought ''This time, imma compete and win this #$%^'', I flew around Northrend for about 40mins, looking for a good place with tons of pools, found a nice place in Scholazar, and planted my ass, at 2PM, i did one throw and got the shark, i was in lukc that my HS was ready for use and HS'd back, redeemed the fish and got tons Gz's, seeing as i had won in less then a min, me is a happy guy tought, seeing as in that one throw i got my sea turtle as well :D

Good luck to everyone else, you can be lucky and get the %^&*!@bag of a shark :3

The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby was a fishing event held every Saturday between 14:00 and 15:00 server time by The Kalu'ak. The objective was to be the first player to catch a Schwarzspitzenhai and bring it to Ältester Reinwasser in Dalaran. It was introduced with Patch 3.3.0.

The first player to deliver a Schwarzspitzenhai to Ältester Reinwasser would receive either a Schreckenspiratenring or Stiefel der Bucht as a reward. Subsequent players to deliver the item would receive a Sack voll geangelter Schätze from the quest Mehr Glück beim nächsten Mal.

Due to problems that occured with the introduction of cross-realm zones, all fishing tournaments were disabled. When they were reenabled in Patch 5.1.0, the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza had been redesigned to allow three winners, and included the rewards from winning the fishing derby. Thus the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby became redundant, and was removed altogether.

Here is a record of the dialogue that used to occur while the event was active:

At 13:55:
Elder Clearwater yells: The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby starts in 5 minutes!

At 14:00:
Elder Clearwater yells: The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby has begun! The first person to bring a Schwarzspitzenhai to me in Dalaran will be declared the winner! Blacktip sharks can be caught anywhere you can catch a Pygmäenschiffshalter.

Winner:
Elder Clearwater yells: <Name> has won the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby!

At 15:00:
Elder Clearwater yells: The Kalu'ak Fishing Derby has ended! If you caught a shark, please bring it to me within the hour.

Ältester Reinwasser <Geehrter Fischer>
