Wie in den englischen Kommentaren erwähnt: Auto-Loot aus!

Tipp: Caste mehrmals mit dem Actionbutton, für mehrere Gegner. Klappt nur bis man infight ist^^

Viel Erfolg :)

For this achievement you need to wait for Vol'dun Sandfischen World Quest to pop up.
Use Sandangelrute extra action button to summon quest mobs. (Should be out of combat to use it)
But don't collect Sandwurmzahn quest items because you need this quest to last longer, so you can collect all the scales.
You need to collect 5 gray Sandworm Scales to complete the achievement.
All of them drop from the same Gefräßiger Sandwurm. The droprate is kinda low.

Right now you can spam Sandangelrute extra action button and it will spawn multiple quest mobs. Just don't wait for the cast to finish.
If you accidentally finished the quest, you can wait in the area for someone else and collect scales from their mobs.

~~Looks like this didn't translate over to live; about 100 kills into the WQ without seeing a single scale.~~

Got it after 1.5 hours of farming solo. You can spam fishing button for more enemies.

Kommentar von Niixten

I got Erfahrener Sandangler in 15min. Make full group and all should spam Sandangelrute at the same place.

Kommentar von rashas

You can't loot mobs after completing quest nor in raid, so watch out and don't collect any fangs or you will have to wait for next rotation.

Kommentar von SomeoneSneaky

Not many people try for this achievement, apparently -- or possibly they don't know it exists. I just kept a group open in the questing group finder and invited anyone who joined up -- even if most of them only stayed long enough to do the World Quest, having a little help is better than none. Still took well over an hour to do it; the mobs don't hit very hard, but they have an annoyingly high health pool, so it takes forever to kill 'em.

Kommentar von justgiz

Make sure you have auto looting off so you don't complete the World Quest. That includes any addons that may autoloot for you, like XLoot.

Kommentar von Sikstallion

If you spam click the button you will have multiple adds spawn, this will speed up the process :)

Kommentar von Sn0vit

To get Erfahrener Sandangler you have to have the World Quest Sandfischen up, you use the Sandangelrute to fish up the mobs.
These mobs have a chance to drop the different scales needed for the achievement.

How to do it:
Spam click the Sandangelrute to spawn multiple mobs, make sure to NOT loot the Sandwurmzahn.
The fastest and safest way is to make a group and convert it to a raid. Everyone spamclicks their Sandangelrute and kills the mobs, rinse and repeat. You can't accidentally loot the quest items but the scales still drop!

At first it might feel like it doesn't work in a raidgroup, since very few mobs will be lootable, but the once that are will usually have the scales :D
I just did it this way and it went very quick in a raidgroup (like 15 mins or so), we where around 5 people in the end.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Wyspe

I can confirm that this takes about an hour. The Ruby Scale was my trigger. Just didn't want to drop. The others dropped multiple times.

Kommentar von Melandroso

Quickest way to do this achievement:

Of course, you need to wait until the Sandfischen is up. The 'sandfishing rod' is an extra action button that you get when entering the quest area. Clicking that action button makes you "fish" for the mobs and these five scales drop from the summoned mobs at a rather low rate (about 5-10% or so?). However, as soon as you have looted the eight Sandwurmzahn for the world quest, the extra action button disappears and you have to wait for the next time the quest is up to be able to summon more mobs. As the Sandworm fangs drop from just about every mob, it is very likely that you will not get a single scale this way.

BUT the scales drop in raid groups and the quest items do not. So make sure you are in a raid group and then you can just stay fishing until you have all five scales. You can have a raid group by for instance listing a group in LFG (for instance for the achievement!) and then right-click your portrait and select "Convert to raid". Be mindful that if noone joins your group, it will be delisted after a while, after which you are no longer in a raid group and will begin looting the quest item! So might want to disable auto-loot. You can of course re-list the group at this point and convert to raid again.

Don't worry if you see no loot for several minutes - while I did the achievement, these mobs did not drop anything but the scales.

To speed things up, you can spam-click the action button while out of combat - the cast does not need to finish for the mob to appear - which means you will get a lot of mobs at the same time. I am a very bad elemental shaman ilvl 362 and had no issues handling lots of these (other than they knock you back, which is annoying for casters).

It took me 40 minutes to get the achievement, which is certainly not bad. Best of luck!

Kommentar von ArgentSun

If you are going to be farming this, I recommend making sure you pick up one of the Zandalar loa boons, such as Gunst von Bwonsamdi (which is what I used; you can pick it from Zul'jan in Nazmir, which is kind of on the way anyway). Akunda's or Kimbul's might be also be good.

Kommentar von YourNameHere

I gave up after farming for about 2 hrs. All I got were 5(!) silver/white, 3 green and 3 red scales. Not a single blue or black one. And I killed literally hundreds of these worms (in a raid of course). Maybe the next time the quest is up...

Kommentar von thebl4ckd0g

Formed a Custom LFG group, and had at least 2 others join me while I was farming it. Once somebody joined, after about 20 mins. of us farming, we finally saw a scale drop. Another 30 mins. and we each saw almost all the scales we needed, except Onyx took another 20-30 mins. for me. Good strategy though as suggested - form a raid, so you don't get the quest items.

Kommentar von Redroach21

* Turn off auto-loot.
* The cast bar is a lie, spam it if you feel you can take 6-8 at a time.
* Cobalt is most common.

Kommentar von Rys37cotp

Interesting. The quest was up and as I had a ruby scale, decided to farm for the achievement. After 25 minutes I gained 2 more ruby scales, an onyx, and an emerald. Then *facepalms* accidentally looted the quest scales, making my fishing rod go bye-bye. Quest was over and done for me.

Out of luck, right? No. Other people were around me and as they were summoning sandworms, I kept killing them, too. After another 10 minutes, I got both the cobalt and the silver scales for the achi. Though I could not longer fish as I had looted the quest scales, I still was able to loot the remaining scales for the achi.

Kommentar von Chillagh

Well, well, well - Blizz has taken another successful shot at making an achievement dependent on lousy droprates while being as annoying as possible and eminently pointless.
While I understand that an achievement is something that should involve a certain amount of dedication to get, just basing it on sheer luck ist not what I find comprehensible.
Yes, I am increasingly feeling that it is not a fun way to spend the time.

Kommentar von BeerWolf

Blizzard and their !@#$ing hard-on for low drop rates...

Kommentar von Supawhitney

Took me about 2 hours to get this achievement from start to finish. Definitely not the worst grind in this game, but put on sunscreen because you'll be out in those sands for a little while...

Kommentar von hotcore

I was lucky that when I went to do this achievement, I only needed 2 more to complete it. However the drop rates are quite bad. It took me 20 minutes to get ALL of them (with the last one I needed being my last one). I got the emerald and onyx one twice.
A simple 'hack' to make this faster is to use your rod until it fully completes then spam the rod over and over until a worm appears and knocks you back. It sometimes bugs it and you can get up to 10 worms at once. This makes this achievement much faster.
Make sure you turn off auto loot so you don't complete the world quest otherwise you can't do it until the world quest is active again.

Kommentar von zlicer3060

The distrubution after around 1 hour of farming for all the scales is as follows:

- 6 Ruby Sandworm Scale
- 5 Emerald Sandworm Scale
- 3 Onyx Sandworm Scale
- 3 Silver Sandworm Scale
- 1 Cobalt Sandworm Scale

Kommentar von Daefuitsusol

I was able to loot any of mobs I tagged, whether I fished it up or some random passer-by did. Because of this, I was able to complete this achievement in about a half an hour. I was not in a raid group, as I have seen suggested in some of these posts.

I tuned off Auto-Loot, so I could choose not to loot the quest item, Sandworm Fang.

When the area was busy, I concentrated on tagging as many Ravenous Sandworms as possible. This was actually mutually beneficial seeing as it helps fellow questers get the world quest done faster (win/win).

During the lulls when I was our of combat, I would fish up my own sandworms.

When I looted the last scale for the achievement, Ruby for me, there were enough sparkly corpses around that I was able to loot enough fangs to complete the world quest as well.

Done and done.

Kommentar von Kattrenee

I turned off Auto-loot like everyone suggested.
Took maybe 25 minutes, only got 2 doubles the whole time.

Kommentar von ThomasTheBear

45 minutes of Farming the items needed for Erfahrener Sandangler resulted in:

The Obsidianschwarze Sandwurmschuppe was the last one I was looking for and repeatedly had stretches of 5-10 minutes where I wouldn't get anything only to get more duplicates of the other four when a Gefräßiger Sandwurm's Scale finally dropped. Sandfischen only had about 10 minutes left before expiration when the last one dropped.

As a side note, location in the World Quest area doesn't seem to make much of a difference at all. Also, don't forget to turn OFF Auto-Looting, so you don't accidentally complete the World Quest. I will add a macro below, in case you'd prefer turning it on and off from an actionbar button versus the Interface Options.

I know there is a modify key available for Auto-Loot On/Off...Just giving options.

My advice...Just be patient with it regardless of the situation. It's a bit frustrating, but you will get it in no time!

Auto-Loot On/Off Macro
/script if GetCVar("autoLootDefault") == "1" then SetCVar("autoLootDefault", "0"); print("Autoloot Off"); else SetCVar("autoLootDefault", "1"); print("Autoloot On"); end

Kommentar von SkylineXoXo

I did this today in like 30 minutes - made a raid group, a Druid joined got their achievement after a few pulls and I went on another like 15 solo and got mine as well.

The worst part of this for me was my extra action button (not me) kept getting stuck in combat after every pack I killed. With and without addons.
So I had to keep running out of the quest area to get the button to be usable again. (Or reloading every time) (Didn't happen to the Druid.)

I found doing it at 56.7, 59.8 worked well because the threshold to where the quest ends is right there. Kill my pack and run across the little road, and it'd reset my extra action button.

Emerald was my last, even though the druid got two in the time they were grouped with me.

Over all I received: Cobalt x3. Onyx x3. Ruby x2. Silver x4. Emerald x 1.

Kommentar von JesTheKiller

A bit of a stretch, I have to admit. The color theme of this achievement has a slight resemblance to the FFVII "Weapon" colors. Also, scale being the equivalent of armor. Ruby specifically being in the desert.

Kommentar von innorruck

Took me about 30 or less minutes to get the achievement.
I looted: 4 Onyx, 3 Cobalt, 1 Ruby, 1 Emerald and 1 Silver (being the last one i needed)

As others said turn off auto loot.

Kommentar von Slania

As Redroach21 said:
* Turn off auto-loot.
* The cast bar is a lie, spam it if you feel you can take 6-8 at a time.

I already had one (can't remember which) marked as done on my achievement from a time I'd done the WQ before I started farming it today. In an hour I got 5 Onyx, 3 Ruby, 3 Cobalt, and 2 Silver; unfortunately, the WQ timer ran out before I could get Emerald.

Tips if soloing: same as Redroach's, and also get up early and check zones for dailies that you want to get achi's for - I just randomly checked after I logged in after getting home from work, so only had a small window in which to get it.

Kommentar von Grundlesmoo

Got it in about 30 minutes @ 53.11, 61.21 right under where the 2 Bonebeak Scavangers circle between the 2 dunes.

Kommentar von alphabit

Around 35 minutes of farming to complete the achievement today, total scale tally was:
3x Ruby
2x Silver
2x Cobalt
1x Onyx
1x Emerald (long gap between any drops before getting this last)

Kommentar von Omtatsat

Got pretty unlucky with this one. Ruby, Emerald, Onyx, and Silver dropped over the first 15 or so minutes, and then I've spent the next 52 minutes trying to drop a single Cobalt one. Overall:
6x Ruby
8x Silver
9x Onyx
8x Emerald
1x Cobalt

Kommentar von Balvok

As of 9.2 it seems like you don't get any loot in a raid grp anymore.
I spent 5 minutes killing the sandworms without a single drop.
After I soloed again, everything dropped as usual.

Kommentar von Krusti98

Got all of mine after 25 minutes of fishing. Total scales:

3x Ruby
2x Silver
2x Onyx
2x Emerald
1x Cobalt

Kommentar von BigMary

Just a tip, turn OFF auto loot! Once you loot all the fangs the extra action button disappears.

Kommentar von Pumpkinpuff

Requires the world quest Sandfishing to be up Vol'dun
Tips:
Turn off auto loot, once the objective of 8 scales in complete you will not be able to use the action button, Only loot the colored scales.
Can spam the action button to fish for more than one creature
My experience:
19 minutes of fishing
x1 ruby
x1 cobalt
x3 emerald
x1 silver
x2 onyx

Kommentar von Nightgecko

Can confirm still working as of 3/18/24. Can't use a raid, know how to not auto loot.

Absolutely atrocious achievement unless you've been giving RNGesus favors under the desk.

Took about a 1hr 10mins.

8x Ruby
6x Silver
1x Emerald
1x Cobalt
1x Onyx
