Für den Stromschnellenstreiter Erfolg musst du 40 Fische in einem Durchgang von Ruriqs Stromschnellenritt mit dem Boot Die Fallschreiter mit Ruriq an Bord beim Kauriqweiler am kleinen See, in Das Azurblaue Gebirge fangen, nordöstlich der Azurarchive.

Als Belohnung bekommst du das Spielzeug Tuskarrdingi, ein kleines Boot mit dem du über das Wasser schwimmen kannst.
Falls noch nicht geschehen, musst du vorher die Questreihe bei Ruriq starten, um den Erfolg machen zu können.
Die Quest gibt es auch als Weltquest Ruriqs Stromschnellenritt wo du 25 Fische fangen musst, falls du die Weltquests schon freigespielt hast.

Beim starten der Quest bzw. des Erfolges bekommst du Gefangener Fisch, wo du sehen kannst wie viele Fische du schon gefangen hast.
Am besten versuche einzelne Fische mit Netz werfen und mehrere Fische mit Breites Netz auswerfen zu fangen.
Versuche oben beim Start vor dem ersten Wasserfall auf 14 gefangene Fische zu kommen und vor dem zweiten Wasserfall auf 22 Fische zu kommen, dann sind die Chancen größer den Erfolg zu bekommen, so habe ich es geschafft.
Drehe die Kamera nach hinten und versuche auch den Respawn der Fische mitzunehmen.
Das blöde ist immer wenn sich das Boot schnell dreht, aber nach einigen versuchen weiß man ungefähr wie man die Kamera drehen soll.
Manchmal werden die Fische nicht gefangen, obwohl das Netz direkt auf den Fischen landet, und das ist sehr ärgerlich.

Mit etwas Glück klappt es dann auch. Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg mit dem Erfolg. :-)

Open your graphics settings and set "Liquid Detail" to "Fair"
This will render the surface of the water completely clear and make the fish you need to target perfectly visible.

The fish respawn

The best tip I can give is in the beginning start throwing your single net (the range is quite far) ASAP so you get their respawn timer going and as you progress pan your camera around and snipe some respawning ones. I was able to score 4 or 5 more on average before leaving the first area after realizing they respawn and that made all the difference. With a little warmup and planning which fish you want to get the further down stream, you can get this in no time.

Took me and my stubbornness about 45 minutes of trying this before realizing they respawn and I then got it down in a few more attempts afterwards.

Kommentar von Stealthfire13

The targeting circle on the spammable ability seems to be a bit larger than the actual effect, so don't use it on a large group and expect to get credit for all of them--wait till you've passed and use the AOE ability instead. As others have said, the key is getting as many respawns as possible in the first area, but making sure you get all of the big groups on the way down is crucial too.

Kommentar von Maizou

Currently, the buff doesn't fade when you first do this quest. (I did it with the side quest, not the repeatable)

Abandon it once you get to the bottom, and rush back to the top to grab it again. The new fish will add to the old total if you were fast enough to return and didn't let the buff wear off.

Do *NOT* talk to him to be sent back - it will wipe your buff.

Kommentar von Adradia

You can cheat here....
Just try the achievement as normal - but instead of getting teleported up after failing just fly your dragon
Start a new run
You will lose the buffs from the run before but the count is still running
Catch the remaining fish
gg

Kommentar von Alnarra

Even watching the videos, I'm legitimately not sure how folks are actually doing this the "proper" way, and certainly not without relying on the respawns in the top pond. at minimum Between the fish net's seemingly arbitrary catch rate and the Azure Span's lag, along with the lag generated by just moving through the rapid. I've gotten to 38 before, but that was with far more luck then skill

There are some positions along the route where it's optimal to place your net to catch 5 fish, one in the first pond, a batch just after the first fish in the second stream and then a final one at not the batch of 3 fish, but there's a batch of 5 directly after in the third leg. The key appears to be how lucky you can be about grabbing the fish in the little quick whiplash sections between the major river segments which basically just means spamming your net and hoping there's a fish there.

Counting them out I'm not 100% sure there actually are 40 fish that can be caught with the spammable net's GCD along the route, or if there are it's JUST barely between 40 and 42, which means if you weren't abusing respawns in the top you need to catch every single fish which I think would work if the net was more... reliable. Anyway the method of just flying back still seems to work.

In total there are 36 Fish BELOW the main pond, if you catch every single one of them.
1 In first waterfall
9 in the next stream segment
12 In the stream Segment after that the big hitch here is while I think the spammable net is in theory supposed to catch multiple fish, it does not appear to do so. meaning there is a pack of three where you realistically can only catch one fish.
5 in That 3rd very quick stream segment
2 In that next very quick stream segment
3 In the segment after that
And finally in the final segment there are 4 fish. If you are not at 37 by the time your boat lands in that final segment you aren't making it.

Kommentar von Wyldclaw

When you get to the bottom of the river and you only have 25 fish, dragonride back to the beginning as quickly as possible and start the run again to complete the achievement. The runs will add together!

Kommentar von TheHokypoky

After about 50 different runs of this I've figured out the problem here and was able to catch exactly 40. It is the same problem that blizzard has had with every water zone ever in the history of wow.

Problem: Mouse resets to lowest possible location, (underwater) if you toss the net underwater you will never catch the fish.
Solution: everytime you select to toss the net you must wiggle your cursor on-top of the water to ensure it isn't resetting back under the water.

Blizzard need to fix: ensure that the mouse isn't able to reset back underwater so that this is more realistically possible.

Tip: you need to catch as many as possible in the starting moments. And you need to save your net for the largest schools of fish.

Reward: You get a tuskar version of fishing raft. It is worth the grind if you want free water walking without the rep grind of previous expansions (great for alts).

Goodluck!

Kommentar von mczaga

I tried many times get 37 max and not teleport used my dragon and then toy came with second try i even didnt get 40.

Kommentar von Iskierkaa

The buff not resetting at the end seems to have been fixed as of reset today in NA (13th December 2022). Sadly Blizzard have not yet taken the time to fix the single target fish net often failing to catch a fish.

Kommentar von EnigmaNL

Sadly this is now totally undoable. They fixed the exploit and now the rest of us are stuck with a buggy minigame. The net often doesn't catch anything even when you throw it with complete accuracy. The camera goes nuts when the boat turns making aiming even harder.

Kommentar von Kilroy98

Such a *!@#ty way to get an achievement, they patch the ability to cheese it but don't actually fix the quest. This should not take you an hour to get.

Kommentar von bhorwarth

Please for the love of bugs. Fix this achievement Blizz. The net doesn't work half the time and they patched the dragonriding "cheat" as of Season 1 launch.

Kommentar von Elodeon

If you complete the world quest, you can still talk to Ruriq, who offers the option "I'd like to take your River Rapids Ride again."

When I took this option, when the ride ended, it did not kick me off the boat. Instead the boat was parked at the end, my character stayed on it, and fishing abilities were still available. I was able to repeatedly catch 3 fish that respawn at the end of the ride, getting the counter up to 40, granting the achievement.

Kommentar von TheMoo

Hope they fix this achie is quite hard now

Edit: Done today, Its all about the first pool. If u get at least 17/18 fish the rest is easy!

Kommentar von Inquistrix

Can confirm as of 12/13 the "old way" doesn't work anymore, and the current game is buggy. The nets won't catch fish even if you target it multiple times, and the camera goes wild on drops and such.

Kommentar von bugbug312

Wow, this one is tough but it IS possible, even after fixing the bug! There are a few things to consider here:

The fish respawn fairly quickly. This is MOSTLY relevant in the first pool. What I like to do to maximize the amount of fish I can catch in the first pool is start immediately catching the furthest that I can, and then get the ones close to the beginning once, or shortly after, the boat has started moving. This makes it easier to get the fish when they respawn. I was finding it difficult to get the first ones at the beginning again, but that could just be a skill issue also. It's important to get as many as you can in the first pool because the rest of the river can be chaotic. On my best runs I got 15 in the first pool, but it's possible to get more.

The fish always spawn in the same place. After a few runs, you can anticipate where to place your nets and where to use the large net, especially in parts directly after or during the fast rapids.

MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY! The net MUST touch the fish. It's easiest to accomplish this by placing the net as far away from the boat as possible if you aren't impeccable at aiming. I am a horrible shot and this was the game changer for me, immediately taking me from a 25-30 average to reliably getting 38-39. The net moves in a straight line between your character and the green circle. Basically, what it looks like is happening is that the net will get to the center of the green circle and then despawn, thus not counting any fish on the other side of the green circle. I thought this was bugged for a very long time until I realized that the net just wasn't touching the fish before despawning.

Because of the mechanic of the net, while it's not impossible to get multiple fish within the smaller net, it is more difficult. If there are multiple fish sort of close, it's probably better to use the big net. However, there were some schools of fish very close towards the end where I reliably was able to use the small net to get most of them. Your mileage on this tip may vary.

The camera jostling does make it difficult to place nets. I couldn't find a way to make the camera stay still. However, it does move in the exact same pattern each run, so you may be able to anticipate when and where to place your nets based on that.

When you max out your range on the net, it will start to target underwater instead. That's the only time that I really had this problem doing this achievement, but it is something to consider. If you start targeting underwater, try going a little closer to yourself.

I think that's about everything that I noticed while doing this. It took me about 2 hours, and I first attempted this the day after it was patched. Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von bergamj

I can confirm it's doable, even if pretty difficult.
Let's see how step by step:

1 - Catch the first 12 fishes in the starting area: 7 normal net + 5 with a wide net. Count 12
2 - Dropping down the waterfall catch the one on the pond before the waterfall ends an one of the two single fishes after the waterfall. Count 14
3 - Right after that there are 5 fishes together: 1 wide net to catch 4 of them plus 1 normal net. Count 19
4 - Now direct the camera downstream and catch 2 single fishes before the small waterfall and 3 (out of 4) single fishes after the small waterfall. Count 24
5 - Then you see 2 shoals of 3 and 4 fishes: try to catch 2 out of 3 fishes from the first shoal with the single net and save the wide net for the latter to catch all 4 fishes. Count 30
6 - Now the difficult part: the raft is very fast in this phase and you should catch at least 6 fishes before the last big waterfall. There are 11 fishes available in this section: 1 after the 4-fishes shoal, 5 in the next segment, 5 in the last segment before the waterfall. Cast the single net as fast as you can and save the wide net for the last 2 fishes before the waterfall. Count 36-38
7 - In the last part the raft slows down and you can catch 3-4 fishes quite easily (the one at the waterfall base needs you to cast a single net while falling down). Count 40-42
8 - GZ!

If my count is correct there are 48 fishes you can catch.

One last piece of advice: try to point the camera downstream as much as you can and cast the single net with the central green dot a bit ahead of the fish you want to catch.

Hope that helps! Cheers!

Kommentar von Tokamak

The cheat has been fixed. But the achievement is still doable with a bit of skill, stubbornness, and another exploit.

The fish respawn. So if you start throwing nets like a madman as soon as it is possible. You will be able to catch the earliest fish twice after their respawn. This mechanic is enough to get you at least 16 fish before leaving the first lake. After that, it's still hard, and it's still going to require luck due to the unreliable nets. But you'll find yourself finishing around 38 and 39 fish more often and at that should be enough to reassure you that eventually that 40th fish is catchable as well after a lot of frustration.

Kommentar von LoneMilkDud

FML -

This achievement is BS.

Kommentar von SpicyLlama

I just found a great cheese for this, the fish respawn in the first pool, so catch them all and turn around, rather than 12, I got 18 on the run that i got the achievement. Outside of that its just landing the center of the net on the fish you are trying to catch. Hopefully this helps some people get the dinghy:)

Kommentar von Daarian

Camera distance gets restricted down to super close every time you get into the raft. Doesn't matter what you have your max zoom factor set to. And the angle moves vertically to 'wonky af' randomly from what ever you have it set to despite the game set to 'don't ever touch my camera angle'. Wish I hadn't missed this quest line before they fixed the 'exploit'. Pretty sure that was just so that people couldn't point to the stats of 'literally no one ever has gotten this achieve' as evidence it was broken, because, look! Some people DO have the achieve!

Kommentar von Veliore

I have managed to get the achievemet even after the exploit has been fixed. After about 20 tries with 30-35 fish collected, I have hidden my UI allowing me to see better and removing the distractor of the buff telling you how many fish you have. This simple move has improved my performance, resulting in 38-39 fish collected ever since. I heard the achievement pop up after about 5 or 6 tries with hidden UI. Of course it is mandatory that you make good use of the fish respawn in the first lake as it has been mentioned many times before me. Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von DonQuixote

Not sure how i did it, but the boat stopped at the shore and allowed me to just sit and catch fish that respawned at the very end of the run.I sat and caught the fish until i had 40, I got the achievement and the toy and then pressed the vehicle exit button and never went back lol.

Kommentar von notacyborg

A complete garbage achievement. Blizzard doesn't even understand their own game engine. It is NOT designed to handle this. Between laggy servers and just awful XYZ axis control this is basically undoable. They should be ashamed of putting such untested garbage in the game like this wasting everyone's time.

Kommentar von OhBoyKittens

Yet again blizz adds another achieve that's either crap or impossible. How is getting this post fix in any way an enjoyable experience.

Kommentar von HoHa

Extremely bad and buggy.

Often a fish doesnt count even if you clearly hit it. Also, the big net often doesnt throw even if you press the button (and it's off CD).

Kommentar von KnockKnock

is there a way to track how many fish I'm actually getting? how am I supposed to know if I'm close or totally off the mark. :/

Edit: there's a buff that counts the fish. You can make a weak aura for spell ID: 373490

Kommentar von Ithenell

Seriously should be no more than 30 fish caught unless they want to put more fish in or make the dam ned net CD shorter.

Kommentar von Drognor

The real trick to this is the number of fish you need to catch in the first pool to make it viable. Since the fish do respawn shoot to catch at last 15 fish before you move on down the rapids.
If you don't get 15 fish click the unmount vehicle button and try again to save yourself some time.

Kommentar von Darkdefender

Abuse early and often, or else you'll have the pleasure of dealing with "WORKING AS INTENDED" achievements like this lovely experience.

Kommentar von AmadiaHS

Some tips that might help someone. I saw a lot of tips from other players but none of them really fit my experience.

#1 Fish do respawn behind, as reported by a lot of other comments. At the same time, you cannot win simply by catching what is behind. Catch what you can in front of you but you need to swivel around a LOT.
#2 You need to aim PAST the fish to catch them. This was by far the biggest lesson I had to learn. If you aim your net on top of the visible fish, you will miss over and over unless you are very close. The fish that are very far, you should aim past them, or "above" them, so to speak. Practice at the beginning.
#3 You should try to get at least 15-17 score before the first waterfall. Practice until you can do it reliably.
#4 Practice practice practice. I started out getting around 25 fish every run. I gradually improved over about an hour of practice. I had to memorize where fish where in the fast parts and precast my net before they showed up. I had to figure out exactly where to use my big net most effectively. I had to figure out the exact moment I should turn my camera around to maximize fish.

It *IS* hard, but it's not impossible with practice and your mileage may vary. I'm a pretty average player and it took me about an hour. My husband practiced for 15 minutes and got it.

Good luck!

Kommentar von weirdgirl

in addition to the other tips people have left, don't wait for the green AOE targeting circle to pop up before clicking on/near the fish. get as close to 20 fish in the first pool as you can and save the wide net for the bigger groups of 3+ fish. rapid fire cast & pray with the small net helped me get this in a couple tries after ~10 of trying to aim carefully. on my final try i ended up hitting 40 just after landing on the final stretch of river.

Kommentar von Anamorte

Ok challenging is one thing, but this is ridiculous. I could see maybe 30... but between aiming inaccuracy due to lag, the wonkiness of the camera, and so on and so forth, 40 is BS.

I mean, I'm an "above average" gamer and I'm having quite a bit of difficulty with this despite the advice given here. I feel really bad for the average person who is trying to get this boat. :-/

Kommentar von mysticalos

Best advice, Just don't even bother trying until 2030 at least when their engine is MAYBE fast enough to actually count net hitting the fish without needing to rethrow it 4x for it to count. Or for them to recognize their 18 year old game can't process throwing a net at high speed and to just significantly nerf it.

Kommentar von iforwardslash

This was wild. It took me over an hour to learn how to do this, i.e. camera control and where the fish are and how not to panic.

This video was helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0piEZOwJ6bI
Main takeaways from the video in case you don't want to watch it:

Menu> Options> Interface> Graphics > Outline Mode set to High
Menu> Options> Interface> Outline Mode set to Quest Objectives, Mouseover, and Target
The minimum you need from the first pool is 14 (but obviously get as many as you can)

This just helps you see the fish better, but there's not much you can do when the game doesn't register that your net hit a fish.

Kommentar von Lochton

Whew. Now that wrinkled my good suit. Quite the fishing journey with the need for reaction time but it is quite doable. I managed to achieve my haul after the 5th try. Someone should tell that Tuskarr that fishing is about patience.

Kommentar von Zeth614

Hi! Here to say as of 12/27/2022 you CAN still cheat… kind of. Take your first boat trip, do NOT catch all 25 fish, but you can get close. Go back, take the boat again, catch all the fish you can. When you get to the end, DON’T GET OFF THE BOAT! When the boat parks, you can still throw your net, and there are 3 fish spawn points in reach! Keep catching those fish as they respawn until you have your 40 fish!

Kommentar von ingerb

When you do this daily to get achivement River Rapids Wrangler, and to get the toy Tuskarr Dinghy.
Talk to him and take the second alternative.
when you are done with the 25 fish taken, DONT leave the boat.
Keep throwing on the fish that spawns around.
I got the last 15 just by throwing on those that spawned around the boat when i stood stranded.
Achivement done, toy gathered:)

Kommentar von Fizzlestix

Got after it after about 10 tries.

In the first pool start throwing the net asap. Catch the close ones, then the far ones, and then turn the camera around and catch the first ones again as they respawn. Be liberal with the big net usage. Think of it as an additional small net. I got to 37-38 most tries by saving the big net for the clumped-up fish, but as soon as I just started using it on cooldown I hit 40 fish.

Kommentar von Cameltosis

Guys This is Super Simple. Most people are explaining it right but they are missing one crucial part. The first thing you have to do it ZOOM the camera OUT all the way. After zooming your camera all the way out that's when you start your quest and start spamming the number 1 net on all the individual fish, but before you reach the very first big school of fish turn around and catch all the respawning fish you can. Then catch the first school of fish in the very first pool before you go down with the #2 Net. After that everything else should be easy. You're Welcome.

Kommentar von Captainkrk2b

ZOOM OUT as far as you can, then ask to take the River Rapids Ride again.
Use the TRIANGLE RETICLE inside the aiming circle to catch 14+ fish before going down the first waterfall. They respawn if you are fast enough to look behind you and catch two that are grouped together. You can even start spamming the net as you hop into the boat.
If you don't catch 14+ , EXIT the boat using the yellow arrow button to get teleported to the beginning for another try.
Try to use the big net on the bigger schools of fish only. GOOD LUCK!

Kommentar von Oskarr79

As someone who has tried this countless times since they "fixed it", I have read all the comments about about camera positioning and getting a decent amount of fish in the top pool but I could never get more than 34 fish and close to tearing my hair out, while It is clearly possible, it is incredibly difficult.

I just did a little experiment and got dinghy after 3 attempts - first 35, then 38, finally 40.

I believe the actual story quest where you do the fishing is easier than the world quest or when you talk to Ruriq and do the ride manually.

I went to Ruriq on an alt, need to do a short quest chain (10-15 mins) until he gives you the quest "Ruriqs River Rapids Ride" This ride seems so much easier, you still need to maximise number of fish in top pool respawning but I was suddenly getting more than my previous attempts and this finally seemed achievable. You need to get 10 fish for the quest but it does not auto complete.

DO NOT HAND QUEST IN UNTIL YOU GET 40, if you get less just go back to boat and try again.

I could not figure out a way to stay in the boat as some people have claimed, so all 40 must be in the same attempt

I think the story quest is either:
A) the ride is slower
B) there are more fish
C) the fish are in different positions (I think this is most likely)
D) This is all in my head and I suddenly got good!

I also tried a couple of manual rides after I got the achievement by speaking to Ruriq and was back to getting 32 - 34 fish. I think the story quest has a different pattern of fish along the route.

Let me know if anyone has success with this and good luck in getting the sweet dinghy!

Kommentar von Wolfspeak

I just completed this achievement and it is doable, though the Glitch has been patched out.
It mostly has to do with memorizing where the fish are and then fighting with the bad Targeting system for the net.
Best tip for completing this Achievement is to make sure the Outline Mode in you settings is turned on!

Kommentar von Jean77

Anyone have a weak aura made for this yet?

Kommentar von scdubb

It is hard but i got it after like 10 trys. You have to catch the respawning fish (easiest near the top since you're going slower.) And use your big net at all the right spots. I think its good that its a little bit difficult or else it would be much of an achievement.

Kommentar von Hothingar

Finally got this due to two things:

1. turning on the outline mode
2. follow this video.

You got it!

Kommentar von Tig3rE

For the Stromschnellenstreiter achievement, you must catch 40 fish in one run of Ruriqs Stromschnellenritt by boat Die Fallschreiter with Ruriq on board at the Kauriq Gleamiet on the small lake, in Das Azurblaue Gebirge, northeast of the Azure Archives.

As a reward you will get the toy Tuskarrdingi, a small boat with which you can swim across the water.
If you haven't already done you need to start the quest line at Ruriq beforehand to be able to do the achievement.
The quest is also available as a world quest Ruriqs Stromschnellenritt where you need to catch 25 fish if you have already unlocked the world quests.

When you start the quest or achievement you will get Gefangener Fisch where you can see how many fish you have already caught.
It is best to try to catch single fish with Netz werfen and multiple fish with Breites Netz auswerfen.
Try to catch 14 fish at the top of the start before the first waterfall and 22 fish before the second waterfall, then the chances are higher to get the achievement, that's how I did it.
Turn the camera to the back and try to catch the respawn of the fish as well.
The stupid thing is always when the boat turns fast, but after a few tries you know about how to turn the camera.
Sometimes the fish are not caught even though the net lands directly on the fish, and that is very angry.

With a little bit of luck it works well. I wish you good luck with the achievement. :-)

Kommentar von Andraelus

OK, I was complaining, and still hated this, but it is doable now, if just barely.

Note: all the cheese methods have been patched away.... it's this or nothing.

Key tricks:

1) Aim just above the fish. Think of yourself throwing a net, not shooting a target. This hits more often than any other method I could find.
2) While you do turn backwards after the first few fish, try to get to 6 minimum before you do. Get the ones you ordinarily sweep by too fast, So first 4 fish, ignore the school, grab the side and back fish, THEN turn back and get respawns (again, throw just above). Spam them (there is sometimes a delay before the fish gets hit, if you've done it twice move on) Then hit the Big Net on the school as you pass over it, grab the last one (if you missed it) as you swing by.
3) Now turn forward as you start to fall. You will remain forward until the last rapid.
4) You have to nail the first fish as you fall on each rapid while still in the air (this includes the last rapid drop). Then move the camera and get the ones you pass by. If the fish are close you can get two in a single throw and save the Big Net for the couple of schools.
5) If you do it almost perfect, you can get 40 ...barely.

Still think it is way too hard post patch, but you can do it.

One more thing, if you don't absolutely nail the first area before the first rapid, click the escape key and start over. No sense making yourself nuts. In fact, look at the counter in your buffs. if you don't have 36 as you start the last fall, escape out and try again. There are only 4 fish left at that point and that first one at the end is the hardest in the whole run.

Enjoy your Dinghy! No question you paid for it in pure 100% irritation at the nets missing.

Kommentar von RangerRudy

This is completely doable, the point of the achievement is too be difficult to achieve, that's why its an achievement. It took me 12 attempts of figuring out the best camera angles and where exactly I have to click too catch the fish but eventually on the run I got it, I caught 43 fish!

Tips:
-Click the center of the target aura exactly on top of the fish or slightly behind where you see the fish.
-Memorize where the groups of fish are so you can drop the big net accurately.
-Zoooooom your camera waaaaay out and move that camera angle around. I caught most of my fish looking backwards at the fish iv already passed. it's easier to fling the net when you know exactly where these fish are, not when they suddenly appear in front of you (this is more important when your moving fast).
-In the first area before you go down the first waterfall, the fish respawn there quite quickly. if you look backwards you can potentially catch around 15 fish there. Thats almost half the requirement and there's a lot more fish to catch on the way down.

I felt an obligation too post here as the comments seem to imply people expect to be given things in the game rather than have to work for them which is ridiculous. It's a unique toy and should be hard to obtain so there's a reason to keep coming back and play the mini-game that is this achievement.

Anyway good luck to those who appreciate the challenge, you'll get it eventually!

Kommentar von Adr3nalin3

I have noticed a lot of people saying that this achievement is extremely hard to complete now after the patch. I thought the same thing. I spent hours trying to complete this achievement. I finally noticed that once you casted the net out, you MUST wait till it splashes into the water over the fish before you cast out another net. Once I noticed this, it took me 3 more tries before I completed the achievement. In big groups, you drop your big net down. Small groups, you have the chance to capture 2-3 fish at once with your regular net, if it's timed right. Always look behind you as well, especially at the beginning, to capture more fish before you start dropping over the waterfalls.

I've never rage quit on an achievement yet, but after getting 37/40 again and again I felt so frustrated that I gave up for now. I know that if my aiming was better I'd get it, but my eyeballs aren't as good as they used to be, and with the camera constantly deciding to reorient itself I'm just struggling so bad.

I wonder if some of these are added to the game late and kind of miss the full QA, or if there's a dev behind it fighting to the death on it being 40, and not 35 or something, because they just want it to be hard. (I think slowing the boat down even 5% would nerf it just the right amount too).

Kommentar von killerbite

alrighty boys n girls this is a piece of cake to do, just make sure you start catching fish in the first area before the boat starts moving and also the fish respawn in the first area so you will need to turn around and get the respawns if you want to get 40, if you dont get all the fish plus the respawns in the first area reset the run, after the first area just spam you single net on each fish you can and save big net for schools, it will take you a few attempts and yes the camera movement is trash but it is doable its not impossible like all these other people are saying, took me 15 min tops to get the achi

Kommentar von Mowse

Finally got this.

Something I had luck with - aim the tiny center circle of the net just above the fish. That seemed to catch them 9/10 times. I never was lucky enough (that I saw anyway) to hit more than one fish with a single net. I got 17 in the first area, 7 looking ahead before turning around to get the rest + big net. Kept eyes forward the entire rest of the run until the last drop. You have to have 36 going off the last waterfall because there are only 4 left at the end. I didn't spam the net, I tried to be intentional about what I was aiming at and putting the smaller circle just above them. Seemed to help. Best of luck.

I sure wish I didn't have to have supremely fast reflexes just to be able to even dream of doing this stupid achievement. Guess those who simply cannot move fast enough will be forever barred from ever even dreaming of getting this acheivement. Whomever thought it was a great idea to have this stupid super fast thing, with nets that don't register 9.9/10 times when you throw them, and then put most of the fish you need to catpure in the stupid fast zones that blur past me before I can even react.

But no. Its cool. I'll just forever be barred from completing this. Thanks Blizzard. Super cool. Maybe next time, don't design something around needing Esports level reflexes in order to be able to complete. Or maybe the fact that I need an AI just to be able to do this.

I absolutely hate this piece of crap mini-game that they locked a toy behind. I hope whomever designed this suffers from something that causes their reflexes to be slow to the point where they won't be able to do it either.

Kommentar von Vroar

Well luckily for me it bugged at the end and didnt despawn the boat, allowing me to catch the last 3 fish over and over untill i got the achievement. i'm not sure how i triggered this :(

Kommentar von SilverNebula

Something got fixed with this because I was STUCK at max 31/32 a couple weeks ago. Decided to try again last night and immediately noticed they fixed the net catching fish or even multiple fish and not missing them all via glitch. The fish now have light streams going up from them too.

First try I got 39. Second try I got 40 and got the toy. It was WAAYYYYYYYY easier. It was impossible before and now I was able to do it easily! I encourage everyone to try again!

And like others have said, i was able to get most of them in the starting area via catching them all and then turning around and getting them again when the respawned.

Kommentar von Valannia

Doing this today after 10.0.5, fish now have a highlighted beacon effect so you can see where they are and appears to be properly tracking fish. If you throw the first couple nets far from the starting point, then turn around and throw at them when they respawn before you go over the falls, you'll have plenty by the time you are at the end.

Kommentar von Nyysa

This has been fixed! Finally got my Dinghy today!

Kommentar von itgrowls

This is actually achievable still (I'm writing this on 2/6/23 after they patched the exploit that allowed people to pool their counts together in a group which is no longer possible.)

Yes they took out the grouping from it but it's possible, I did it with my buddy today and we both got it.

Tips:
~ Zoom your camera all the way out so you can more easily see where you're tossing your net
~ before he gets his butt on the boat to make it start to move, take a moment to fish all of the fish you can using the #1 key
~ when the boat is moving, right before you get to the first water fall, turn around and throw #1 net at the respawns, that gave me about 5 extra
~ while flying down the rapids before you land on each waterfall you can #1 the individual or group fish before you land freeing yourself up to get the next ones
~ if you miss any don't fret, just as you are riding over these groups of fish you miss, press the #2 net key right when you're boat is over the fish you missed.
~ at the end, when your boat is floating slowly, turn around and get any and all respawns that happen behind you

This got me to 40 using this technique.

I hope when the devs get old their hands rot off.

Kommentar von Paegar

I found that going backwards with the camera zoomed out was the easiest. After a couple of runs, you get a feel for where and when to use the large net and when to click and you get more time with the fish in sight.

Get a good handle on the starting area, start out going forward, then turn around after you get all the singles and get the respawns. Hit the large net as you pass it, and then stay looking backwards.

Took me about 3 runs doing it that way, after another 10-12 earlier in the day. I couldn't get more than 32-33 going forward. Backwards, I was able to get 37,38,40.

Kommentar von Porfirije

Just did this one, thanks to weekly quest, since fish for the quest was marked with light beam going up from fish it was really easy to aim at correct spots for fish to catch.

Kommentar von Appr

I was finally able to complete this achievement today. The WQ was also up while I did it.

What changed?

Well apparently at some point Blizzard slipped in lights to highlight where the fish are, which makes this achievement much more doable. They also appear to have fixed some of the targeting issues that were encountered earlier.

The key still is, as mentioned above, get as many as you can from the starting area. The boat still moves pretty fast and the random camera angle changes are there still, but the fish being highlighted makes it pretty easy. I was able to get it on my first run through.

Kommentar von darius7777

Guys the first fishe at the beginning spawn again! So jusst right when you enter the boat throw net and all of them while you move forward reverse your camera the first fishes will have respawn fish them again and is piece of cake!

Kommentar von deathlavitz

Got the achievement doing the quest: Ruriq's River Rapids Ride.

Kommentar von Nerdywow

THIS Stuff is not good at all. there no possible way to get 40 fish now blizzard please fix this insane stupid achievement. Not fun at all i always end up with 30 fish. NOT POSSIBLE. And people did it when there was bug and you can't do it anymore. FIX IT

Kommentar von Tyrsenus

Join a raid group before you attempt this. This will stall world quest progress, making Ruriq always appear at the end of the ride to instantly teleport you back. (Being in a raid stalls world quest progress, but won't stall achievement progress.)

If you do complete the world quest, Ruriq will still allow you take the ride again, but you have to fly back to the start - no teleport.

Kommentar von Daarian

An update on this - I had flat out given up on this, as I got there too late to use the 'multiple runs stack' bug and the net, the camera angles, and timing was all ridiculously tight or buggy.
I tried it on a whim today though, and I can say that they have DEFINITELY fixed all of the above. I don't know if you can do it first try without the exhaustive knowledge of where EVERY fish is, which I do have because my OCD had me retrying it for hours in earlier patches, but it's doable.
You still need to get as many in the first pool as possible, but you get some time sitting at the start to clear out the pool once and then you can spin and hit them all again. After that just make sure to hit the big pools and as many as you can on the way down and you should be good!

TLDR - No longer nightmare mode, so go for it guys!
