Kommentar von mike1097

Der Großmeerrochen ist eines der Reittiere, welche mit Battle for Azeroth zum Spiel hinzugefügt wurden.
Er ist erhältlich durch den Beruf Angeln und wird mit einer geringen Chance beim fischen im offenen Ozean gefangen.

Um festzustellen, ob man am richtigen Ort angelt, müsst ihr die gefangen Fische im Auge behalten.

Auf Seiten der Allianz, also Kul Tiras, dürft ihr ausschließlich Spurschnapper und Rasender Tigerfisch fangen.
Auf Seiten der Horde, also Zandalar, dürft ihr lediglich Schleimige Makrele und Sandschleicher fangen.

In seltenen Fällen fangt ihr auf beiden Seiten auch einen Mitternachtslachs.

Fangt ihr auch andere als die oben genannten Fische, dann fischt ihr nicht im offenen Meer und müsst die Angelstelle wechseln.

Allgemeine Informationen

Es wird keine minimale Angelfertigkeit vorrausgesetzt (nur Angeln von Kul Tiras ist sinnvoll).
Ihr könnt überall im Ozean angeln, Fischschwärme sind nicht notwendig
Der Rochen ist einzigartig und handelbar

Ich habe hier einen Guide auf YouTube veröffentlicht, der viele Fragen im Detail beantwortet.

Kommentar von Yelnyfy

Nicht nur beim gewöhnlichen Angeln kann man den Großmeerrochen bekommen. Meiner droppte in einer Fischblase (Fischfinderbrille benutzen) in dem See unter dem Weltenbaum bei Hyjal, als ich dabei war den Erfolg "Geheime Fische und wo sie zu finden sind" zu machen.

This mount does NOT have to be fished up from a node, just fished it up randomly throwing my line just near a lake of Zandalar. Looks pretty fancy aswell!

Kommentar von SpakyTwo

It looks like a jet ski with a tail.

Kommentar von Ishidin

Fished this up on Beta in Windswept Pass.
In open water. Trying to level cooking. Fishing was 150 Zandalari.

Kommentar von Deessntz

Fished mine in Zuldazar in the water when you zone in on Alliance. Just ahead of you on the beach. Fishing 150

Kommentar von Johalon

Appears identical to Darkwater Skate sold at Darkmoon except that mount has green eyes and this one has orange. It is good to hear it can be caught in open water.because there is no abundance of schools along the ocean coastlines.

Kommentar von papaQT

Fished up at around level 40 next to the pet battle master Ellie Vern

Kommentar von DiiiGiiiTAL

Mmmm, these are going to be worth a pretty penny.

Kommentar von lovelywaz

Does it give you underwater breathing?

Kommentar von Oneminutemonkey

I fished one up right there on the dock next to the ferry master in Tradewinds Market in open water.
Kul Tiran fishing skill: 20.
Casts: Approximately 30.
I was using the artifact fishing pole and Nat's Hat.

Kommentar von Pingvin2

This mount is fished up in any open water around Kul Tiras or Zandalar.

I just fished mine up after around 300 casts on release day.

Kommentar von 4benzor4

41 Casts later, done deal :)
Standing on the water in Zandalar, Zuldazar

Kommentar von KittyKatBar

Fishing was not maxed out, caught it offshore in a snapper school.

Kommentar von Nilzours

This thing dropped from my first cast in Zandalar, I am wondering what´s the drop rate for this? Am I just lucky or is it really high?

Kommentar von camy011

The mount is unique and boe. Anyone know if you can continue to fish them up after obtaining one and either selling or learning it?

Kommentar von Rukurai7176

I fished up one, saw it in my bag but had not decided whether to use it or to sell it. I had about 98 points into fishing, so around 130 + fish I think. The very next cast I got a second one, but even though it says "binds when used", you cannot hold a second one in the bag. It also says "unique". So farming these would be a bit more difficult than just fishing them up and taking a few to the AH together. You'd have to fish one up, toss it off in the mail to another toon or something and then fish for a second one. I was a little disappointed, but I have one so I'm good, lol.

Kommentar von silvershadows

Caught my ray on my third cast in open water right at the dock in Zuldazar. These may not be hard to get, as I am rarely that lucky and it seems most comments say they have found a ray in 250 or less casts.

Kommentar von Deepfriar

This just dropped for me while fishing in a Rasender Tigerfisch pool. It was my 34th Kul Tiran fishing cast, so as others have said, this may not be a difficult one to get.

Kommentar von GraffixG

Got mine with the first cast in BFA. Fishing is level Draenor lvl 1.

Kommentar von PvtDeth

Caught in Drustvar, at the Hangman's Point flight path in open water. BFA fishing skill 33. I know it doesn't really help anyone, but it was actually the first cast here.

Kommentar von nighthook

Stopped counting at 600 fish cos i thought id have different fun; instead of fishing i cooked fish -_-
Could have been around 800 casts, had skill maxxed (obv) but I dont think it matters.
Caught just south of Port of Zandalar.

Kommentar von traxui

Got one after 400-500 casts on the northern coast of Stormsong Valley

Kommentar von crombolim

Got it in the 7th attempt at anyport / Kul Tiras (20, 45) in an open water, not in any pool.

Kommentar von teiresas

Fishing skill doesn't matter. I just fished mine up with 0 fishing skill for BfA.

Kommentar von Jokopoko

As this is BoE, does anyone know if this can be fished up multiple times?

Kommentar von silvershadows

I have now fished up a total of five of these rays within 500 casts. Don't be taken in by high prices on the auction house. These are *not* very rare at this time.

Kommentar von Runtimeerror

Kommentar von Floof

Fished it out in one of the canals in Boralus. Kul Tiran fishing skill 20, no fishing rod, no bait. Rays of RNG.

Kommentar von kerkvlerk

I got it after 401 casts in zuldazar at 69,68. happy farming!

Kommentar von nintendobratkat

Seems to be fairly common currently. Several people in my guild got up to 3 during a 2-hour fishing session. I personally got 0 while leveling to 150, but got two within 10 minutes of each other this morning. I want to assume the drop rate feels higher because the expansion is new atm and people are leveling fishing and trying to catch fish for cooking. So the crazy catch numbers could be related to that.

Either way, congrats to everyone who got theirs and the achievement. It's a pretty interesting looking mount.

For those interested, I got mine fishing from the Port of Zandalar as did all of my guildmates who obtained them. Warmode on, Horde. I don't have any crazy fishing equipment.

Kommentar von malrats

I maxed out my fishing skill and have tried Boralus and Drustvar for well over 500 casts and still nothing.

Kommentar von Shauolin

Stood south Zuldazar at around 60, 65 where the fisherman are on the beach. Whilst there I maxed my fishing to 150, got the achievement for oil from fish, fished up a fair few midnight salmon.
And when all hope was fading, it suddenly popped up.

So when it popped I had 150 fishing, legendary pole, no lures.

It will come, patience :)

Kommentar von Skoogles

Caught this on release day at 87.2, 24.5 in Tiragarde Sound. Only took 30 or so casts to catch.

Kommentar von itsnotemy

Figured I'd try farming this. Went to the ocean south of Drustvar and no joke got it on the first cast. Here's a screenshot

Kommentar von sushibar

Ugly mount. I already have water walking for mounted travel on water, and the Underlight Angler for fast underwater movement. Fortunately, the thing is BoE so it goes on the AH if the price is worth the effort.

Kommentar von MotorcycleMime

I guess I should buy a lotto ticket today, got it after 13 casts with a basic fishing pole and some nightcrawlers in Tidecross!

Kommentar von Lizzip

Casts: 1400-1500
Location caught: Behind Tradewinds Market, Boralus
Fishing level: Max + 18

Kommentar von geekette828

I fished this up between 400-500 casts.

I was standing off the dock in the port of Zandalar, next to the "Zandalari Fishermon".
Open Water.

Kommentar von casonator

Fishing on the docks of Boralus, I got the 1.000 Fische achievement slightly before I got the mount to drop.

(I had learned fishing just before starting to farm for it).

Kommentar von MiniSyth

On Tuesday, I was able to fish up three of these in rapid succession in around ~300 casts. Now I have fished up another ~1200 casts and have not seen one. Blizzard may have reduced the fishing odds of this.

Kommentar von Evellia

I just caught this after only 37 casts while fishing near the Grand Bazaar in Dazar'alor - 41.6, 87.7

/edit caught a second one in the exact same spot after 46 more casts, a third 43 more casts later, and a fourth one after 40 more casts. See the screenshot for the exact location (and proof)!

https://imgur.com/a/LgGRjFq

Kommentar von Styder

Confirming this does not need any special items, locations or skill level. Caught this off the eastern shore of Drustvar in the river south of Hangman's Point.

154 casts. No fish node. No rod equipped or fishing gear/bait used, just basic fishing spell. Fishing skill was 73/150 Kul Tiran when caught.

Kommentar von alaskanstar

I started fishing for this at skill level 1 at the great bazaar as suggested in an earlier post. I got my mount at skill level 26. I learned the mount and kept fishing. I am now at skill level 116 and have not fished up another one. Kicking myself for not throwing it on the AH and then fishing mine up after.

Kommentar von Artafire

Hey :)

It took me roughly 450 - 500 casts to get this beauty, then after 20 more I got a second one.
So don't give up!

Happy hunting

Kommentar von Raggen

Fished up two of these within 5 minutes of each other. Fished in Nazmir, 135+33 in Fishing (artifact+Wettergegerbter Angelhut) and fished from Ein Schwarm Sandschleicher.

Kommentar von bakaprincess85

I caught it on a small island off the coast of Xibala (/way 33,85) and I caught it within 40 tries)

Kommentar von Pyrophila264

Thank you

Kommentar von legionfalls

Just got mine at 1:51am (est) 19-Aug-18 on Dazar'Alor docks @ 57,63 Zuldazar after roughly 17 minutes/30 casts with Zandalari Fishing @ 42/150 using Nat's Hat (with buff) and Underlight Angler pushing me with a +36.

This is by far the nerdiest thing I've ever said.

Anyway, judging by how soon I got it and the amount on the AH (average of 40k) I'd say this achievement/item is pretty easy to obtain.

Kommentar von Mayushii

I wasn't even trying to fish for this, nor did I know that this was a thing, when I fished it up just now just outside of Shatterstone Harbor. No special fishing equipment, no lures, nothing. Just saw a node and fished it >.> Very strange.

Kommentar von Bravesword

I honestly feel bad because I'm looking at these comment posts of how many casts that people have done, and I just randomly got it by accident. I had NO knowledge of this thing and I was in the middle of working on my cooking profession and it just pops up. >_> Got it on my 3rd cast for today. #FeelsBadMan

Kommentar von DakMonkeyz

Tried fishing this from Xibala, Zuldazar (38.15, 75.38) and after 902 casts decided to call it for now.

Zandalari Fishing: 1-80(ish)
No fishing pole, No lures.
This was during Night Time.

Fishes I got:
365x Slimy Mackerel
391x Sand Shifter
31x Midnight Salmon
115x Random Trash

Either I was somewhat unlucky with the mount or it can't drop from all coasts. Good luck fishin'!

---

I continued my quest of fishing this up myself instead of buying it from the Auction House and I did eventually get the mount. Location and what fishes and how much I got from my second round of fishing can be found below.

This time I went to Tradewinds Market, Tiragarde Sound (76.76, 24.46) using the anglers fishing raft and after 1331 casts I got the mount.

Zandalari Fishing: 80(ish)-150 (Skill 149 when the mount dropped)
No fishing pole, No lures.
This was during Day Time.

Fishes I got:
625x Lane Snapper
643x Frenzied Fangtooth
15x Midnight Salmon
48x Random Trash
1x Great Sea Ray

Good luck fishin'!

---

Round three I went to the Bay of Kings, Zuldazar (57.96, 66.14), again with the anglers fishing raft and got quite lucky compared to the previous rounds. This time I got 4 Great Sea Rays, which took 999 casts.

Zandalari Fishing: 150
No fishing pole, No lures.
Started during Night Time, finished during Day Time (roughly 50/50)

Fishes I got:
459x Slimy Mackerel
476x Sand Shifter
19x Midnight Salmon
41x Random Trash
4x Great Sea Ray

Based on my personal experience I would say the chance of getting the Ray might be quite a bit higher as your Zandalari Fishing goes up, but rng is rng and might be just that. Next round I'll stop being lazy and will get my poles/lures out of the bank. Good luck fishin'!

Kommentar von Raykling

Keep in mind that it's an unique item. After fishing up one I suggest you to either immediately learn it or mail/deposit it in bank, otherwise you'll be unable to loot another one in case it drops. I learned that a hard way :/

Kommentar von MoonshineFox

Does anyone know how this stacks up speed wise against the Sea Turtle from WoD?

Kommentar von Saetan

Caught in Drustvar after 66 catches. Started at Kul Tiras fishing lv 1, ended up at 44.
Location was: 72.3, 39.5, a little north of the Hangman's Point flight master.

+5 Fishing boots
+7 Pandaren Fishing pole

Here's my Fishing Buddy results:

Kommentar von Taoma

I just fished it up from a Ein Schwarm Spurschnapper so it does drop from schools.

Kommentar von FrenzyGr

im at 600 casts and no mount

Kommentar von NcJackson

Fished up 2 x Großmeerrochen within 450 casts at the pier in Boralus, one for me and one for my husband.

Seem to have a good drop rate, me as well as many folk fishing around that area got the item relatively quickly, unlike other fishing obtainable mounts - such as the Pond Nettle . I wouldn't say it is worth buying one via the Auction House.

If it wasn't already obvious, you only get the achievement Rochen unterjochen if you fish up the ray yourself, you wont get the achievement solely by learning the mount. Good Luck folk.

Kommentar von bradybunch

I have caught a few of these Sea Rays now, one in Zuldazar in Dazar'alor, and one just off the dock of Boralus. You can catch this mount multiple times, however you can only keep one in your inventory at a time.

Kommentar von Beebolini

Considering the description...
"The rays of the great sea can travel for many miles in great migratory patterns."

...does anyone think this mount might be more common in different zones at different times? ...meaning they have a migratory pattern?

I'm seeing some people here say they caught a bunch in a short time, and I have friends with that experience - while others are saying hundreds of casts before they caught one.

What do you think?

Kommentar von SemiNobleBerean

I dont know if this has been said but you CAN fish up more after adding it to your mounts.

Kommentar von EatFish

After 3700 casts.

23 sea rays

Caught in Inland, Coastal, and Pools.

Anywhere in Battle For Azeroth Zones.

Eat Fish

Kommentar von Angeldusk

After about an hour of fishing, I finally caught one.
However my guildie who was sat next to me fishing, caught 4 before I caught my first one.
You're either very lucky or very unlucky with this one. Goodluck.

Kommentar von Joseluinik

Fished mine today in a Schleimige Makrele node.

Kommentar von Nesthion

Okay, so I am at 150 fishing for BFA. Do skill increase items for fishing affect drop rate of items such as this mount? 99% of the time, I get fish with my 150 skill (1 or 2 gray drops in 30 min).

Kommentar von miser666

Got mine on the 411 cast standing next to Akan on the dock at Anyport, Drustvar.

Kommentar von rvnender

Took me 260 casts, but I finally got it!

Kommentar von SerkTX

It seems that as of 8/23/2018 Blizzard has removed the unique tag from this item. I've got 5 of them in my bags now.

Kommentar von Dem0nkez

Hey Guys/Girls
So i was fishing the Großmeerrochen up as i wanted it for a mount.
I was at Zuldazar @77,63 and didn't move i caught 2 but it should have been 3.
At the location i was i caught 3 but because i had one in my bag and i was using *fasterLoot* (Addon)
it closed the loot window. i didn't notice the mount was a unique.
But i fished up 3 in a total of 593 casts.

I got:

Sandschleicher x 284
Schleimige Makrele x 288
Mitternachtslachs x 13

and a handful of grays.

Kommentar von JohnEP

Like this is going to be a RARE find. Posts here are showing people landing several of these before even maxing out on BfA fishing. On my server, it is down to 10K gold (the highest is at only 48K gold) and dropping fast. One player has 3 for sale, one 5, one 7, and one 8 and this is only on the first of two pages (Thrall). Don't expect to make a big profit on these as the "happy time for selling Great Sea Rays!" is already over. I sold mine for 9K gold and was glad to get that much for it. It will be down in 1-2K gold soon.

Kommentar von Entex

Dropped for me after ~300-400 fishes. Sadly i got "Internal Bag Error" and the drop disappeared. I've noticed quite a lot of forum posts about this issue.

In my experiance this has to do with BfA fishing and "Auto loot".
I recommend shift+loot or disable auto loot so this doesn't happen to you.

In my case, the ticket is pending... And I'm still out here after 5 hours fishing and hoping for my Großmeerrochen

Fish safe

Kommentar von smtips

I got two in less than 120 casts. Fishing level was only about 100.

Kommentar von hevgirl

hotfix: Großmeerrochen is no longer "unique" and you can hold multiple in your inventory at the same time

Kommentar von gcltd

just fished up mine after 30 casts, fishing for Lane Snapper in Tiragarde Sound, in Plunder Harbour, co-ords 87.63, 45.62

Kommentar von Sayake

Did some fishing today for the cooking wq before it reset. 30ish casts and got 2 mounts in the last 5 casts. (Had 200-300 casts before, while getting fishing to max though)

Kommentar von RustyThePaladin

I am at well over 1000 casts at 150 fishing and no drop. Other drop percentages line up tho, thats rng for ya.

Kommentar von drunkdu

Just got my first this morning. Had probably caught 300 or so fish since launch. Was using my Underlight Angler + Wettergegerbter Angelhut + Trawler Totem. Got it while fishing off the docks in the Port of Zandalar in just open water, no pools.

Got my second one on my 101st cast of the day about 30min after the first one. Thinking I should keep this up.

Kommentar von Galneryus

In case you are wondering, this mount provides the SAME speed bonus as the Meeresschildkröte, but unlike the Sea Turtle it can only be used on water.

Kommentar von burytheliving89

The price of these on US Dalaran Horde has seen a dramatic change between last week and today. They were going up for around 15K, now you can get them for around 5K.

Kommentar von Skippers101

Over 330 casts not even one just buying on the Auction House

Kommentar von Berlow

Just got this today after atleast 80 tries (about 25-30 minutes) and can confirm I was only 63 skill in Kul'Tiran Fishing when I got the drop. Used an Tiefenlichtangler in Der Tiragardesund cords .

Kommentar von rexxcastle

I think the drop rate on this has been ninja nerfed. i fished for quite some hours last night while watching Netflix, I ended up with like 4 full stacks of mackerel. about 4 stacks of the shifters, 91 midnight salmon and not 1 single mount. usually when I do a binge fish like this i get anywhere between 1-4 mounts.

Kommentar von norecha

I do 90% of my fishing at night, and I never got the mount, 30+ hours fishing.
Fished for 2 hours in the morning, got 2 mounts. Maybe drop rate works like opposite of midnight salmon?

Kommentar von Karmageden

3000 casts and no mount. Off the dock in Dazar'Alor.

The drop rate either got nerfed to hell last patch, or its only catachable in certain areas.

I used to catch about 1-2 per hour of fishing.
-

-
Edit* Just caught ONE ( same location as before, dock in Dazar'Alor ) been fishing every single day for 14 days. I have just under 10,000 fish

Kommentar von nintendobratkat

Seems to have gone from a crazy high drop rate to a more normalized one now.

Kommentar von Volleynova

3500 casts and no mount. Unbelievable and it is very frustrating. Tried various locations too, but mostly the Bay of Kings in Zuldazar.

Kommentar von XenriK

Is it 100% required to have Kul Tiran fishing? I noticed that without it you can still get the very same fish, not sure about the mount

Kommentar von xxlikeicarexx

So just got this after the droprate nerf after like 1300 casts in coastal water. This confirms it still drops.

Kommentar von Sh3phrd

Can anyone confirm if this is now only catchable from pools? Just a thought, it might explain the huge discrepancy in experiences, and might make pools actually useful for something.

Kommentar von Bradtek

6 hours of fishing, several locations, 1500 casts later and still no sea ray, someone send help.

Kommentar von Wyo1

doesnt count towards mount total. first fishing related mount that doesnt increase the count

Kommentar von Shadowfrogi

Got it after 375 tries at Anyport in Drustvar

Kommentar von PrinceLestat

This is Frakking bull^&*! i have nearly 7000 cast in Boralus harbor not to mention other fishing areas i use and i have never once gotten one of these

Kommentar von rexxcastle

OK, I am at about 8k cast since nerf and no drops. For those of you that have gotten 1 since the nerf had you learned if prior? I am almost starting to wonder if they made it not drop (maybe bug?) for anyone that has the cheevo/learned mount .

Kommentar von coldwinter18

Do you know if I can fish the ray in Zuldazar, Xibala?

Kommentar von Bursi

Mounts that drop in BfA areas:

Gefangener Dünenaasfresser (teaches Dünenaasfresser) in Vol'dun
Durchgekaute Zügel des verängstigten Packmulis (teaches Verängstigtes Packmuli) in Drustvar
Goldmähnes Zügel (teaches Goldmähne) in Das Sturmsangtal
Zügel eines gezähmten Blutschmausers (teaches Springender Venensucher) in Nazmir
Großmeerrochen (teaches Großmeerrochen) every zone, obtained by Angeln

Kommentar von Fireablazing

Finally!

I've been fishing like a mad man the last two weeks. I don't know the amount of hours but 750,000 gold earned later, I finally caught one of these last night. I really was losing hope.

- Open waters outside Boralus
- I had already bought and learned it previously but did not catch one until now.
- Caught at night

Kommentar von Sikard

I asked a GM today, he said that the mount is still obtainable and i have to pray to the rng gods for it to drop. supercool guy. i just hate blizzard and their f**king secrecy around mount drop chances and stuff.

Kommentar von Paradox89

I spend about 20 hours now only fishing in the ocean of zuldazar and stormsong valley. Zuldazar mostly on the dock and Stormsong in the North by the ocean. 6000 fish later still no mount :/

Kommentar von Clonedjk

Fished up one just now in Tiragarde sound 96.72, 54.46

Fished 7.8k fish and 300 junk approx ( So its still in the game not 1/100 anymore i would say anywhere from 5-10k attempts )

Kommentar von Shingen258

I fished for this one in 1st week after launch, remember i got 3 of them in about hour of fishing.. Learned one, then sold other 2 for like 20K +- profit each, market was floded with them. Then prices droped to 5-7K, i was like "meh, no reason to farm them, they will be soon on 1K price, easy to get"......

Oh how silly i was.. Should have farmed them for a whole day, would make a huge bucks right now :-/ with prices around 80K on my server..

Now i´ve been trying to get at least one, with few days of fishing, and not a single one..

Kommentar von Wobbal

I'm sitting at roughly 1500 casts in Boralus Harbour with no mount. On the bright side, I'm getting through a load of movies that I had on my to-watch list. :)

Kommentar von yuecchi

Can anyone confirm if this mount still drops in coastal open waters since the change?

Kommentar von hiimkoko

Just caught on the side of Anyport in Drustvar in a school of fish. Took 2 tries. I didn't have the Zandalari fishing learned until after I caught it. Coordinates for the boat I fished it on are (20.1, 43.0).

Kommentar von SkerKwagga

Hi Guys

So i fished for the following week in all zones 2000 casts and did not find it , but yesterday i got it in Nazmir: The Sundered Span with 834 casts.

I have attached my fishing buddy output for you under the screenshots (Subject to approval ). I do not use any lure's or fishing poles

Happy Fishing

Kommentar von Xaroc

Finally got it post nerf off the zuldazar docks around 57,66. Took 5000+ casts. Ended up with about a 50/50 split between slimy mackerel and sand shifter. Also,143 midnight salmon and countless grey items.

Kommentar von podypodpod

Been trying for days for this, anyone had luck?

Kommentar von Citametsys

Recently I decided that I wanted this mount, and went full on farming trying to get it. Every day for the past week I've spent 5 hours fishing for this mount. 1000 catches everyday to try and stave away the monotony of trying to catch it, but no luck. Every day a different BFA zone, just to mix things up. I've made well over 100K+ in gold from the AH and I believe I've crashed the fish market on my server.

Despite all of that. This mount eludes me. The madness is setting in and Ferry Master Will Melborne judges me out of the corner of his eyes, but still I fish. Still I receive trash items with some casts, but all they serve is to fill my inventory. 1 stack, 2 stack, 5 stacks of red snapper. I fear that the volume of fish I catch will become so dense they may just collapse inwards on themselves, condensing into a black hole which will destroy not just Kul'Tiras and Zandalar, but the whole of Azeroth, but it is a risk I'm willing to take. I've committed too much time and energy into trying for this mount. I cannot stop now. My guild has not forgotten me, but keep their distance for fear of this madness spreading. The Trade Chat fills not with trades, but advertisements to guilds and people selling mythic dungeon runs. But there is no Great Sea Ray to be found there, so I turn my attention elsewhere. Another day of fishing. Another few stacks of Slimy Mackerel I gain.

Sally Melborne watches the boat to Stormwind sail into the horizon once again. She goes not to school to learn, but learns from the adventurers who charter boats under her Father. She realises that the world around her will still carry on with or without her. What is her purpose? Why is she here? She questions her existence. Why can't she move from this spot? Will she grow old? Learn to love? Visit new and exotic lands? She does not know. All she knows is that she's afraid. She's afraid of the war. She's afraid of the future. But most of all, she's afraid of the man, if you can even call him that, whose been fishing for countless hours behind her. The expression on his face is blank. He shows no emotion. His eyes glazed over. He serves no purpose in life. Even Sally has one. She helps build her father's character. Show that he's a loving father who, despite always working as Ferry Master, is there for his daughter. He keeps her safe and provides for her. This creature however, does not. More machine than animal, it stands hunched over. Casting every few seconds when the fishing bobber shakes for hours on end. No one talks to it or even acknowledges it's existence, the dock it stands on starts to buckle under the weight of caught fish. Sally has heard of the great burning of Darnassus, the destruction of the Under City by it's own ruler, the encroachment of Horde on the shores of Kul'Tiras. But nothing scares her more than the thing that pointlessly and fruitlessly fishes the docks. Is it a physical manifestation of fruitlessness? A metaphor for the current war, needless and without a winner? Sally knows a child shouldn't be worrying about this kind of thing, and wishes her father would find a different job.

The Battle for Azeroth will no doubt finish and everyone will move onto newer pastures, but still shall I be here. Still I shall fish. Still I shall be mountless.

Edit: I've finally caught it! It's been well over 15K casts, but I finally caught it at the Shatterstone Harbor in Vol'Dun. Off the pier where you first land Alliance side. Perseverence, my friends, is all you need. And a lot of goddamn time.

Kommentar von Jetmech

After over a week of fishing, countless hours of casting thousands of times (I stopped counting at 8,000 because it's too depressing), I have come to the conclusion that Blizzard has removed this mount from the game. I figure that since the error they made with the 1/100 drop rate literally flooded the game with Great Sea Ray mounts, they corrected their mistake by making it unavailable until such time that they decide to reintroduce it into the game.

UPDATE: Okay, I FINALLY fished up the ever-elusive Great Sea Ray. It only took countless hours and close to 13,000 casts (according to Fishing Buddy). Now if I can just sell it and recoup all or part of the 70,000 gold I spent on one at the Auction House a month ago...(sigh)

Kommentar von Jetmech

Does this need to be fished from a school? Or is there a chance to get it just from fishing anywhere in the designated areas?

Kommentar von IronGigas

I have done about 600 casts and fall in completely desperation, decided that I am not going to waste my life on this. But a week later at south-east of Vol'dun coast I was about to do last attempt, maybe few hundred casts... and got this mount at 3rd cast.
No pools, no lures, simple pole and 150 skill level.
Maybe they set drop rate back at fesible rate?

Kommentar von nukli

I fall in love to catch the mount and then transmogrify from trash items start look very nice. It is raining, over again.

Kommentar von ToriaURU

Got mine fishing off the dock in Boralis right near where the boat leaves to go to SW after about 20 stacks of fish, give or take a stack or two. So, a lot of casts, a lot of days trying. and Finally, it dropped. Hurray!

Kommentar von mario4921

hello i got mine at tiragarde sound 87.8-51.4 after 39 hrs and 50 mins , was about to give up

Kommentar von Kizburb

Just fished one up at Seeker's Outpost in Zuldazar.
Fishing lvl 1 Ez Clap

Kommentar von sirloper

All I have to say is that if I didn't need Midnight Salmon, I'd never "try" for this mount. The drop rate, post-nerf, is so bad that it's not worth trying to farm for. The only things that keep me going are:

1, I need the Salmon, and
2, if I caught and sold one of these it would pay for 2 months of game time for me (I have a limited RL budget).

So I, too, continue to cast and hope.... well over 10k catches in now.

Edit: for reference and/or those wondering, my active fishing skill is 185 (Natural max + artifact pole + Nat's hat + hat lure + tuskan spear).

Kommentar von AyeCheers

Seriously, I have picked up this mount after 15 'open water' casts around 38:72 Xibala (Zuldazar).

Delighted, but at the same time disappointed.

Breath still slowly goes down and I expected a faster mount!

Kommentar von Kuov

I had one in my lootbag after 8k fishes...
But i have AUTOLOOT and was hooking again and got INTERNAL BAG ERROR and got only the first Item and the MOUNT was the 2nd one...
I opened ticket... but i dont have hope.......

Kommentar von KJMS13

I fished mine up yesterday in Boralus with BFA fishing skill around 5/150 with Bone Fishing Pole and Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat.

Probably around the 300th cast I got it. :3

Kommentar von LightGuardian

Guys, it took me about 10k casts on different characters. Of course it still drops. If I didn't start fishing it, I'd probably wait some time if they will increase the drop.Enormous amount of time just thrown in trash just because of the achievement.
Like BFA wasn't disgusting enough

Kommentar von Akemmanah

got mine on 2k cast at 52/63 Zuldazar.

Kommentar von Volleynova

After thousands of casts in various places around Zuldazar, Vol'dun, Tiragarde Sound, Drustvar, Boralus Harbor, I finally got it at 40.0, 35.1 in Stormsong Valley, off the Jeweled Coast near the Tortollan hub. I had been trying for this mount since BfA release and refused to simply buy it from the Auction House. So glad I got it done.

Kommentar von Hellstryke

I just caught this mount on my WW Monk tonight. Wasn't even trying for it, didn't know the mount even existed. Ironically, I got it on a toon I just levelled to 120 and am working on getting his professions caught up. So my WW Monk is a Herbalist and I got a quest from Xun Xun Sweetwater on Drustvar to go fish up 7 Lane Snapper's. My WW Monk was at 1 for fishing level. The area to complete the quest was highlighted in blue just off the docks at Anyport, Drustvar. As I was fishing open water to get these 7 Lane Snappers to get my Level 2 for Winter's Kiss harvesting, I got the mount! I was only at level 6 BFA fishing and ended up with it! After looking up how rare it is, I was quite pleased since I maxed out fishing on two other toons and didn't even know the mount existed.

Kommentar von fergyjr420

I didnt know this even existed until I saw it on the AH for 19k!
IKR! A STEAL, so I grabbed it :)Kudos to those of you who have farmed this.

Kommentar von nsmang

Just wanted to post here about a new place to catch this mount (and midnight salmon) - the new raid Battle for Dazar'alor!

My guild mate fished this up during the raid while fishing on the boat during the Stormwall Blockade encounter last night.

Kommentar von niestus

So.... just farmed this up on my 207th cast, right around 102 Zand Fishing. From a node, so not just off a pier like some. Can confirm it's still dropping. I already had the DMF Skate, so less thrilled then I would have previously been. But this was the last fishing related mount I didn't have, so pretty happy! Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von wowZhenek

Decided to farm this mount while fishing for 750 frenzied fangtooth and 750 redtail loach, which I'd need in order to craft 50 feasts.

Well, guess what, I failed.

Kommentar von Sybbie

Finally caught mine today. 20300 catches (Fishing Buddy) in various areas.
Ended up catching it in the Great Sea area, east of Boralus.
Hearing the sound of the acheivement was a huge relief!

Kommentar von TomGanksz

Fished this up in Boralus today, so i can confirm you dont need to go outside of boralus along the coast. I have spent a total of around 8 hours fishing accross a couple different characters before this popped up.

Kommentar von Xanthn

Finally fished one up today! Fished around 2-3k times in boralus no luck, then while waiting for islands I fished half a dozen times into the water behind the boat and found it! Many hours total fishing but a few minutes on a lucky day is all it took. To those still after the achievement it will drop eventually, just look at the bright side, at least you can make a fair bit of money off the ah selling fish while you wait.

Kommentar von Jouninz

Catches: 7840 + a few hundred before tracking
Zone: Zuldazar

Kommentar von AntPDC

12k casts so far in Boralus harbour, but no luck, yet. However, my time hasn't been wasted entirely given the considerable amount of gold I've made from selling Frenzied Fangtooth fish on the AH, and oils made from Lane Snapper fish (those fish are best turned into Aromatic Fish Oil because the oils sell for more on the AH - at least on my Realm). Good luck to you all!

Kommentar von salic

FYI - You CAN catch this on Mechagon coast, I just did today. Good Luck!

Kommentar von snoffa

Can i get this from the waters in Nazjatar or mechagon?

Kommentar von mahrah

This can be obtained from looting the secret fish spawned from Secret Fish Goggles, if you are in a BfA zone. I was able to loot one while raiding in Battle of Dazar'alor. Good luck!

Kommentar von kragragh

I caught this in the lake near The Heaps in Mechagon.

Kommentar von Kblade44

caught this accidentally in Mechagon Island near the fishing trainer on the coast (was fishing for the rare Mechagon fish actually)

Kommentar von Laringar

Can confirm that this can be caught in the new zones too, just got it while fishing in the cave on Mechagon for Shadowy Cave Eel.

Kommentar von calicos

Just got this while standing on top of a giant mushroom in Zangamarsh (BC Outlands), wearing the Fischfinderbrille while working on Geheime Fische und wo sie zu finden sind

I’m at over 1,500 casts for the day of the shore in zandalar. No luck. This does t count at least 2,000 more casts on different days. :(

Kommentar von lunawasdreaming

Got mine today in a cave in mechagon, trying to find secret fish. I don't know how many casts I did but I guess around 1000?

Kommentar von Akarillon

Fished outside Siege of Boralus entrance while waiting for a group.
Got it after only 60 attempts total since starting the expansion.
Never been this lucky!

Kommentar von Altruce

7080 recorded casts (by rarity addon) casts outside zandalar by where the tortolian daily quest giver is, and nothing. This is ridiculous for a mount and 1 achievement. I'd like to work on other stuff at this point.

Kommentar von Epytropos

So Nazjatar and Nazmir look similar... but I have 4875 casts to say that mixing them up will result in no mount...

Kommentar von Tinul4

FINALLY got mine after 10k+ casts on the little island at 62, 10 in Vol'dun, close to the "Tortaka Refuge" fight path. Very chill spot to fish at. Made around 200k just by selling the fish I got from farming this on the AH (almost enough for another ray, lol), and crashed the prices (if you wanna sell at a good price you should hang on to the fish and don't auction all of it at once, but I didn't have that kind of patience). Been farming on and off for this since the beginning of the expansion, usually I'd give up after 3 nights of fishing constantly and try again a couple of months later.

I read somewhere that this only drops from coastal water (might not be true), so I obeyed that rule. Some other spots I enjoyed are the beach behind "The Necropolis" in Nazmir, or the beach north of Zeb'Ahari in Zuldazar. I'd suggest not travelling to Kul Tiras if you're H because the fish you catch there sell for less on the AH from what I've seen.

If you already are a couple of thousand casts into farming this, don't give up, you never know when it might drop. Just take it slow and don't burn yourself out. Good luck!

Kommentar von rexy2g

Closing in to 30k fish caught, starting to lose hope. I dont think I've ever farmed a mount this hard before :(

edit: 35k fish, still no mount

edit: 45k, no mount

edit: 50k, no mount

edit: I finally did it! It was well over 55k casts but the pain and suffering is over! You receive loot: .

Kommentar von sadistic12345

the mount went from 10k on launch to 100.000 you should really boycott this and write some tickets saying they should buff the drop because this low drop rate is inhuman for something so boring like fishing

Kommentar von Altruce

Anyone caught this at the pond by where Arachnoid Harvester spawns? Been fishing there while waiting and was kinda hoping. :)

Kommentar von ender1111

Does anyone know how the speed of this one compares to the sea horse?

Has it been confirmed that it can be caught on the lakes inland? The inland fish are worth a considerable amount more on my server so I would like to get them while i fish for this mount. Specifically I like to fish at "The Slough" in Zuldazar

Kommentar von fabrown100

I received Großmeerrochen today while working on the Geheime Fische und wo sie zu finden sind achievement and wearing Fischfinderbrille while clicking on goldfish bubbles in the Amberfly Bog near Pearlfin Village in Jade Forest. Completely unexpected! Note that I was doing this near ponds. I surmise that since this is an Azeroth fishing quest this mount can also be obtained in places other than Kul Tiras and Zandalar while clicking on those Azeroth bubbles for Geheime Fische und wo sie zu finden sind. For those of you who have Fischfinderbrille I suggest wearing them as often as possible for a higher chance to receive the mount and click on those bubbles when near water.

Kommentar von zlodziey

Took about a week and 7.5K casts. Finally. Finally got it! Now, I got thousands of fish to sell on the AH.

Kommentar von thebeav111

the darkmoon one is much easier to get.

Kommentar von drpimento

used to be when you mounted if you were floating in water with head out, you could move at mount speed same is if you were mounted on land. Somehow that's changed and if you try that, you immediately dismount. Only mountable with head under water and then you can't travel in straight line. whatever speed you gain is lost by constantly going up and down instead of a straight line. I gave up on it. Water strider was much better.

Kommentar von Merq

Confirmed this can be caught again when you have it learned already. Just found a second one fishing east of Boralus.

Kommentar von Orclastdps

can you get this mount from fishing in uldum and vale of eternal blossoms?

Kommentar von Nyony

Just got it this night after about a week and ~5000 casts (it still exists!), and here's my experience, hoping it would help:
I started in Zandalar for about 1000 casts but did every other tries (and got the ray) in Mechagon on the coast at 38.4 32.2, and i just wanted to say that this spot was great, first because no adds will ever trouble you and secondly for the simple fact that you can fish not only the daily Mechagon fishes but also Sentry Fish which is perfect to get a lot of free spare parts instead of getting fish that doesn't sell very well anymore (in case you still need some).
Just relax and watch some shows while fishing and it will turn out great, you WILL catch this at some point, just don't give up!

Kommentar von Kaiandra

I started fishing in Tiragarde on a rock at 82.86 ; 31.26. Around 6000 casts I started wondering if the mount even exists even though the fishing achieve it's still there. I filled my time with watching anime, watching Cernobyl, q'ing for deepwind gorge and seething shore to get my 100 wins achieve. Finally I got the great sea ray at the 9292nd attempt. Finally I can go back to dailies and other achieves.

Kommentar von Desiderata

I'm a total noob, but just bought my first fishing rod, sat down on the docks in Anyport, Drustvar, and started to fish for Spurschnapper to complete an herbalism quest. By some insane chance, on my 5th cast, I managed to get this mount. Obviously, I wasn't using a special fishing pole or any sort of tools, so... the takeaway is it's possible for everyone? I'm leaving this comment as it seems people are trying to track where/how this mount can be found.

As a side note, I'm incredibly excited that I managed to 1) finally get a water mount, and 2) get such a cool looking one! And apparently one that people desire! I feel like, at this rate, I ought to go buy a lotto ticket :)

Kommentar von Amanamanzaman

Definitely not worth it.

10 hours of fishing:

1165x Sandschleicher
1423x Schleimige Makrele
47x Mitternachtslachs
and heaps of garbage,but no Großmeerrochen.

IMHO better go farm what you are good at farming and buy the Ray from AH.

Kommentar von bokoo143

I'm not sure if they have changed the drop rate back to what it was at or around what is was at launch but I have fished up two of these just this week.

Kommentar von sindolor

3500 casts, no ray.

Kommentar von ColeWest

I just caught 2 mounts in 2 consecutive days, first one took 2356 casts in the Port of Zandalar and I had 0 BFA Fishing when I started, the other one was caught about 10 minutes ago after 1614 attempts near the Isle of Fangs flightpoint, between the ships. Tiefenlichtangler was used since the very beginning. I guess people can be struck by lighting twice in a row. Keep your hopes up everyone!

EDIT: I just caught a 3rd one after another 1291 casts, they might've buffed the drop rate or I'm just REALLY lucky. Same setup as before, this one was caught in Port of Zandalar.
EDIT 2: JUST CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE AFTER ONLY 201 ATTEMPTS!

Kommentar von Mauser13

Decided to fish for this bad boy to unlock the achievement, already had the mount since it was quite cheap at the start of bfa.

I farmed for about 2 hours at bay of kings, caught 500 fish. Then I decided to take a break and do the Warfront for some easy Azerite. Someone popped the ocean toy and I decided why not lets catch a few more, I literally caught the mount on my 2nd cast. Its probably inaccurate to say its easier to get the mount with the toy, but reading through all the comments it does make you wonder.

Kommentar von Naj4

Just caught one in Boralus Harbor, underwater with Secret Fish Goggles.

Kommentar von Nerdralus

Just caught the Great Sea Ray. Got it on the Isle of Fangs in Zuldazar

I've been fishing for thousands of casts I don't have exact figures but I made a couple thousand off the coast of Mechagon, A thousand out in the Great Sea, Several thousand at the Port of Zandalar. Several hundred in Anyport in Drustvar. And a good thousand casts out of my Hyper Compressed Ocean. I would say I was sitting on a total of around 8000+ casts specifically trying to nab this sucker. Based on a recent comment here I went out to the Isle of Fangs and just a couple hundred casts I just fished it up. It was about 2:00am. Est time.

I was happy to learn it but with a little pain as I did so seeing its AH value is currently going for 100,000g on my server. I developed carpal tunnel for this thing though I was obligated to learn it despite how much I could have made on it lol

Kommentar von asunabae

I have over 2,355 casts and have been fishing for the past 4 hours. I hope I don't regret this grind lol. I already have all the mythic BFA mounts.

Kommentar von TheCheat54

Given the statistically-significant sample size Wowhead now has of drops and total attempts, it seems like Drustvar is the best place to attempt to fish this up by a decent margin. I've burned 1300 casts in Tiragarde but going to head to Drustvar tomorrow night to give it a shot.

Kommentar von Telbaru

Can confirm that it drops from mechagon. Got it after 9053 casts. I fished it at the coast in south where rustfeather spawns.

Kommentar von Zygos

I just caught this without actually fishing. While working on the achievement Secret Fish and Where to Find Them, I obtained one of these from clicking on a Secret Fish while wearing Fischfinderbrille.

Kommentar von Shail

6700 casts and no luck, trying in Zuldazar and Nazmir.

Kommentar von Slimsurdy

10364 and nothing :(

Kommentar von Tynael

Here is why I think Mechagon is the best spot (might not be the fastest) to try your luck in catching the mount.

If you fish in Mechagon there's a chance of getting valuable loot, other than typical BfA fish, that can be used for other achievements in Mechagon - if you haven't completed them yet.
- Sentry Fish - if used - will give you Spare Parts, which is the base currency in Mechagon and can be used for several purposes (achievements, pets, mounts)
- Ionized Minnow is a reagent for Cooking and Junkyard Tinkering
- There's also chance of getting the required fish for

Tl;dr You can progress faster with your achievements related to Mechagon and collectibles if you choose to fish this mount in Mechagon.

Kommentar von johsmol

So here are the stats rougly before i caught it.

Rougly 5100 cast.
About 800 of those was done in Node (All was on the western side of the zandalar coastline)
I did about 3500 cast in the dazar dock.
I caught about 230 midnight salmon in that time aswell.
On my 5083 cast i caught it in the dazar dock area.

No clue what the droprate is but it's 100% still seems to be insanely low.

Kommentar von Vanolla

Just reached 10k casts, most of them of the cost of Drustvar. No mount yet but I now have the power to obliterate my servers fish market if i chose to do so :)
-This is your 14k update......
-16k.....

Kommentar von Rethric

Fished up the mount at the beach of Mechagon where you land as Alliance. About 7.5k casts.

Kommentar von Dellboy

I rarely ever post on here, but this achiev has made me wanna vent! I finally just got this today! It still exists!

I absolutely hate fishing but decided to grab this achiev/mount before the Shadowlands release, without realising when I first started how much of a pain it would be. After I'd started I checked WoWHead and realised how rare this rare really was, but ... I'd already started, and at that point it was in for a penny in for a pound, may aswel finish it.

I've watched more TV shows and movies in the last few weeks than I've watched in my entire life, I've seen enough of Dazar'alor harbour that the thought of going back there makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I logged on today, went to do my daily rare farms before fishing, I used my Secret Fish Goggles while camping The Grand Executor, I clicked on my very first fish bubble of the day, and bam, there it was, Great Sea Ray. Got my little ten seconds of dopamine/endorphins as you do, then back to looking at my achievements to see how I would like to punish myself next!

I have 15,815 registered casts on the Rarity addon, plus a load of casts in Mechagon that don't register, plus the thousands of fish bubbles I've clicked on, I'm gonna guess that it was probably 20k total casts taking everything into account to get this.

My advice to anyone going for this? Don't. Go learn a language, go swipe right on tinder a few times and try your luck, maybe even go leave the house, because it sure aint worth it for an average mount and 10 achiev points!

For anyone sadistic enough to try to attain this mount? Well, best of luck to you! Settle in for the long haul and don't forget to take the occasional shower or breathe some fresh air every few days!

Peace!

Kommentar von NoChill

This thing was 10k at the start of bfa, is that because it can be fished whilst levelling fishing?

Kommentar von Nocfolic

A couple of months before the original SL launch date i started working on getting this mount. Not only the mount but all of the fishing achievements in BFA. When an expansion comes to an end i like to go about getting all the achievements from that expansion and like always, archeology and fishing is done at this point.

Archeology took some time, but compared to legion, warlords and certainly pandaria (please god no), bfa was nothing. All of the fishing achievements was also somewhat easy to get. Time consuming, but like all of the other profession achievements both bfa and the prior expansions, it was not too bad.

I dont mind fishing as i usually do other stuff when doing it. I only use 1 screen playing wow and ive always used the good old "make wow window small and watch other stuff while fishing" method. Turning all wow sounds to 0 besides the fishing bobber sound so that i just need to remember to click when i hear that.

I caught the mount yesterday, 1th november 2020, at the port of zandalar and using the addon rarity ive cought 13079 fish total, which is about what to expect it seems, looking at all the comments. Well at least 10k +/-. I used the underlight angler legion artifact fishing rod and nothing else.
This has been a long farm..! Ive been fishing in this one spot for almost 2 months. Some days ive caught 500 fish, some days 200, some days 50 and 0 when working (12 hour shifts).

All i can say from this experience is that you have to be willing to spend ALOT of time to get this. You certainly have to do something else while doing it, unless you wanna claw out your eyes by the end. I have achievement ocd which i know most others trying to do this have, so i had to do it. And now its done.

It DOES still drop. Keep at it if you started! I believe in you :)!

Kommentar von Elbryan

Finaly got it after 32k+ cast. Got it in bay of kings at 52:63 in Zuldazar

Kommentar von Jawneh

So, I had already forgotten this mount existed. I had been unsubbed for a good while and came back during a free weekend.

Going back to my beloved fishing times during this short time, I saw that there's new fishing achievements, specifically the Secret Fish one. Venturing over to Mechagon to start the first part for the goggles, I didn't even get half the quest fishes for the goggles before WHAM! I get smacked with an achievement notice for catching some rays. I do not think I even cast 100 times.

Blizz must really want me to resub for giving me such fine gifts.

Just fished it today, in Boralus at 74.83, 25.88 (you will see 3 pylons in front and a bit left of the Dock Master). I caught it at 3222 Boralus casts but I think it is around 5k since I was fishing some months ago in Xibala too. I was fishing for 30 minutes every day. I caught all my aquatic mounts like that... no hurry...

Kommentar von OpenMacroInput

6000-20.000 cast for this mount
If you are a bot or a multi-boxer you can do 200+ cast an hour per account
Meaning 30 hours to 100 hours if you are lucky.
At 1-3€ per day of electricity

This mount will cost you 1-5€ to 3-12€ ...
If your dont pay a lot for electricity. That a win.
If you pay a bit to much... Rather pay for a token and buy it on the AH

PS: electricity cost less during the night.

(I don't count the fact that computer lifetime are reduce when heavily used if you do that on your good computer)
( And that you could easily cast more that 20.000. I am to 8.000 which me luck.)

(Don't forget that just working at washing cars of stranger is paying 10-30€ per hour and that crying for money in the street do 10-60€ per hour by doing "nothing"... Just saying ;) This mount is a evil challenge for bots and crazy fools )

Kommentar von OpenMacroInput

Oh my god !
Days ! Weeks!

The story of 38.000 casts to never catch the mount...
But today ('o_O)

The Wow gods decided to be in my favor.
They granted me three of them in 2 hours.

Finally xD

Everyday, I wanted to stop. But when you spend days farming you don't want to stop... Else you really lost the time invested.
Tip of the end... DON'T

Kommentar von Cathrina

Just a warning....

ALWAYS REMEMBER : LEAVE AT LEAST 1 SPACE IN BAGS or mount will be lost ( happened to me after 2739 fishing )

Mount NOT ENTER IN FISHING BAGS !

GOOD LUCK

Kommentar von Tamsta

I was fishing this for a week or so, spending at least 2 hours a day. Got it yesterday in Boralus Harbour with Ally alt after 9801 casts.

Kommentar von pinkbun88

12500k casts in at Dazar'alor Harbor....does it still exist? The struggle is real.

Kommentar von HeRoyism

11k~ Casts, fished since 5k off stone dock via Shatterstone Harbor (Alliance) in Vol'dun

Open Water, ocean

Kommentar von rexxcastle

To those of you with over 8k casts AFTER 9.0 has come out..... In the time you have spent trying to get this mount you could had earned enough gold to have bought 2 of them , the fish your getting isn't worth anything anymore so you are just wasting time that could had been better spent doing something else.

2k Cast is somewhere between 5-6 hours making 8k+ around 24 hours of in game. There is enough stuff in shadowlands to do that could could easily earn 100-200k gold or more and these only go for around 100k or so on many servers.

Kommentar von Lungtau

Can any of the Wow gurus here comment on how this catch is implemented? Is it like the Mysteriöse Kamelfigur and there's only one per server to be caught at any time? Is it just purely RNG on every (shoreline/sea) cast?

What fishing buffs did you lucky anglers have in effect when you caught? I am taking time to renew every buff I have as each expires, but if they do not factor in, then my farming will go more smoothly.

I've made it into the 1K casting range, never mind hours of other casts done while farming other Kul'Tiras and Zandalar fish resources. Never seen one of these... hence my questions. I realize 1K probably just isn't enough.

Thanks for any replies. I'm going fishing ;)

Kommentar von AntizerGG

1547 try in Atal Gral , Zuldazar , right of the map .... watching yt , twitch , and fishing ... GL :)

Kommentar von Slawter93

Just got this couple of minutes ago in Voldun, Shatterstone Harbor. Took around 12k casts.

Kommentar von santaklaus0110

After 98 casts in Shatterstone Harbor, got the mount!

Kommentar von Lunneea

I have farmed this mount at many locations and as the most recent comments said that it dropped at Shatterstone Harbor, Voldun, I decided to try my luck at the same place and it worked!
All in all took me 21066 casts. Dropped at the harbor in like 3 hours of constant fishing.
Good luck everyone and don't give up! :)

Kommentar von Vaugn

Just fished this up from a landlocked pool in Mechagon. I figured the fish are all but worthless now, but the sentry fish would be spare parts I could use toward other Mechagon achievements. Total number of casts: about 700, of which 20 or so were in Zuldazar before I moved to Mechagon. I wasn't even looking at the screen when I fished it up, and was alerted it had arrived when the achievement popped up.

Kommentar von Sleepypants

First I tried Mechagon, but after around 800 casts I went to Shatterstone Harbor. It took me roughly 400 more casts, and it dropped :D

Kommentar von Grancran

In case anyone needs another data point, I fished this up in Deadpearl Shallows (76,66 or so) — near Seeker's Outpost in Zuldazar. I was fishing Slimy Mackerel pools for a recipe upgrade. This fella popped up on my 15th cast.

Kommentar von BunsOfAluminum

I caught this guy last night while fishing from a boat floating in the water near the bank in Boralus. I didn't even know this was a thing and on my second cast I caught this ray.

Is it worth keeping, or is it better to sell?

Kommentar von Rexak

Has anyone caught this since 9.1?

I've caught 20k fish in Mechagon since 9,1 without seeing this... Have now moved to Shatterstone Harbor in Vol'dun.

Kommentar von Souillon

Got this mount during patch 9.1.5 at Boralus harbor, tried my luck at mecagon before and decided to switch after a while, all in all if i combined all the tries i'm at around 5800 casts

Kommentar von aknot666

Finally got it after 17k cast (aprox). I ended up fishing in Mechagon for the last 2k casts. No more fishing.
Good luck everyone.

Kommentar von eKatherine

This mount is available on the AH for 90k, so probably worth spending the gold rather than fishing for many hours in BfA content.

Kommentar von Speculation

If they had told me it would take me 59344 attempts to get this mount would it have been easier to endure....or harder?

So here is a little bit of backstory for those interested.

I started farming this mount last summer about a little more or less than a month before 9.1 hit.
I allready had it in my collection (bought it from the AH at the beginning of the expansion), but i just thought i would go for the achievement and the dopamine hit of the drop.

I did about 10-12k throughout that time and then gave up, and i was cool with it. The only mount to evade me thus far. As a dopamine hunter i kept thinking....
Even though iam no better than a casual semi collector....dont i have the right to achieve this drop?

I decided to come back to it at the start of Decemeber due to a lack of content i was interested in. Easily one of my poorer decisions in this game.
But somehow it would still give me value and would also validate all the wasted hours last summer. (Yes you do make some gold, but its negligible for all the time and effort spent on this).

I went HAM on it. I wont say how many hours a day to keep people at peace but they were a lot.
I tried different rng variables, (wont mention them here), i went to extreme lengths to try to get luck on my side but it just wouldnt happen.

If you ever find yourself fishing on a coast for a great sea ray on a rainy day....i suggest you make friends with movies, shows, streams , music and videos.
Also wowhead and rarity/fishing buddy. Accustom yourself to your new reality.

This grind almost got to me mentally and physically. My mind was a prison, and my hand muscles started threatening me with carpal tunnel syndrome.
But if there is one thing i know...that would be to never mess with the determination of an wow player. You have no idea what we are capable for.

So last night, thinking this would maybe take me 70k attempts or more (like it did for someone on the pond nettle comment section),
i was fishing in voldun (shatterstone harbor and shrouded shore where most of my attempts took place), until i had a sudden urge to try fishing with an alt in mechagon.

And boy am i glad i had that urge. I spend about 30 minutes and then i decided to fish for about 15-30 minutes more. It was about 3 am and i was ready to go to bed.
And then it happened. I saw the light. I was free. I hated being unable to scream at the top of my lungs but i definitely flipped tf out.

You hope, and you dream. But you never believe that the drop's gonna happen for you. Not like it does in other people's screenshots or youtube videos.
And when it actually does, you are completely unhinged, and hardly can contain yourself. Its unreal. The culmination of all this seemingly unnending effort.

I dont know if it was bad luck protection that saved me, just blind rng, or sheer determination. All i know is iam finally redeemed for all the time i spent on this.
I advise against farming for either this or the pond nettle but if you decide to do so anyway, remember this.

Fish with wowhead at your side, and the world fishes with you. Fish without it, and you fish alone.

TL/DR: It finally dropped for me in about 60k attempts in mechagon, on an alt.
Also for anyone wondering I had acquired the pond nettle back in the day (without rarity) but i estimate 15-20k attempts.

Happy holidays to everyone and good luck!

Patch 9.1.5

I tried fishing this in boralus harbor again in the morning hours. It was couple hours this time. Then it came visible on the fishing loot window with normal fish. I had autoloot on(no special loot addons) and it didnt loot the Great Sea ray... I made a ticket about this almost immediatly.

Gm responded today:
"I see here you were having some issues looting the Great Sea Ray mount. Yikes, that's certainly no good! Let me take a peek here and see what's going on!

If an item is not looted from the loot window, it cannot be restored. Unlike dungeon/raid loot, unless that item is moved to your inventory/mail, we have no method of seeing it from our end as potentially appearing. :(
Note that some of these mounts are unique items, so if you have one in your bags or bank, you will not be able to loot it from the loot window. I tripled checked this as well and did not see a trace of the mount so this should not be an issue at the moment.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask way! But, I hope that clears up everything here for ya, have an awesome rest of your morning!"

Its basically "this is not our fault, go fish it again" response. But If i cant loot it, why would it fish it again? Ridiculous..

Has this happened to anyone else with this? I haven't found any posts about it with small effort of googling.

Kommentar von Drugdog

Fished up after 8340 attempts in Zuldazar at small island (61,66).

Fun fact : Around 8000 attempts I went to learn Zandalari fishing. After I improved fishing skill I dropped less garbage and more fishes. I read here that he often dropped with fish.
My ray was fished up with fish too.
No more fishing in BfA waters.

Good luck to everyone.✨

Kommentar von HoHa

Caught it in Zuldazar harbor, from the dock. Did around 6000 casts, spread over Zuldazar, Anyport, Mechagon.

Kommentar von gamergurl97

Still waiting for the day I will fish up this ray. Currently around 1438 casts.

Edit: 3170 casts now, no ray T-T

Kommentar von skyline33

Probably an error but I mined a node next to water and my Rarity addon gave me +1 attempt at Great Sea Ray...
Imagine looting this from a mining node (I didn't)

Kommentar von Sempervivus

1087 casts in Boralus Harbour.

Kommentar von yvesicle

My time has finally come.

I fished in every BFA zone at every fishing level. I'd stay for 1000 casts and move to another location.
Boralus Harbour was the lucky spot. Used my Underlight Angler and fishing hat, caught at night in-game.
18,711 casts since rarity reset in Shadowlands, unsure how many in BFA but I'd guess around 2-3k.
Do not give up, you will fish up the ray!

6800+ casts in drustvar and zuldazar, 0 rays

update: 8000 no luck
update: after the 8000 casts in drustvar and zuldazar port i decided to move to vol dun shatterstone harbor. well... after 637 casts it finally dropped
8637 was the lucky number for me, keep goin' boys

Kommentar von andretheseal

After reading all the comments with thousands of attempts required using normal fishing, I decided to give it a try with Fischfinderbrille and just started off the achievement grind Geheime Fische und wo sie zu finden sind. After spending almost a full day on collecting the different fish and about having 70% of them the mighty Großmeerrochen decided to drop out of a random Secret Fish bubble!

My location was Zul'Nazman, Nazmir at (58, 62) but I don't think that matters honestly. So if you're looking to get this mount, I can definitely recommend the goggles instead of fishing! :)

Good luck!

Kommentar von Axcelsior

Dropped today for me after 1059 casts off of Boralus Harbor

Kommentar von HappyAnt

Finally got it after 12K casts, 4K of which were from casual fishing in BFA. I also completed Secret Fish back then, no ray. What finally helped (could be a coincidence, but worth trying) - I went to Drustvar and started fishing in exact coordinates pointed in the map above. In my case it was /way #896 19.9 43.6, took about 10 min since I moved to this spot. Good luck to everyone still fishing.

Kommentar von DrBob

Got it after about 130 casts in Tiragarde Sound. Beginners luck I guess

Kommentar von christiantroy

I was just warming up and it decided to drop on my 226th cast.

geezus...with those drop rates, 98k gold was a steal on the AH, lol

Kommentar von Ormnu

Trail-Accounts:
After fishing for 7h i just saw that:
"Class Trial characters are not eligible to loot rare mounts."
According to that, trail-account player can not get the by fishing.

Kommentar von Shieldthings

I don't know if Blizz has improved the drop rate, but I fished up mine while leveling BFA fishing. I was at 154 fishing level when I got it.

Kommentar von Oldumi

10.063 casts and it took the bait. Fished in all sorts of random spots in BFA-land - in the end I got it by fishing off the alliance boats in Boralus Harbor.

Kommentar von PigeonD

Just got one from a secret fish bubble, 10.0.5.

Kommentar von Nitaire

On mobile so I'll likely edit this comment tomorrow but anyway. I managed to fish up the Great Sea Ray in Mechagon over by where Crazed Trogg spawns, on a tiny cliff where a gull sits. It took me over 3k casts and that's apparently lucky, estimated drop rate I saw was at 0.03% chance with the average being about 7000. Anyway if you haven't got it just fish a bit in morning, a bit before bed and you might get lucky, if not then binge a bit and camp rare spawns near fishing spots, that's how I settled on a spot to use.

Kommentar von TrollmeisterXD

roughly 35k casts and counting, BELIEVE !

Kommentar von biekdafreak

You would think something that takes so many casts would be worth more than 110k on AH

Kommentar von Hildax

Fished this up at 5,584 casts in Port of Zandalar, also tried farming at Shatterstone Harbor for about 1,000 casts but settled in Port of Zandalar. Took multiple weeks of casual farming.

Kommentar von VrakeBrae

21 casts. Beginner's luck it seems.

Kommentar von Tiptoe151

Finally, after 3 long years an north of 60k casts for the great ray alone...the hook has been set, the ray has been bagged, and angler achievements 100%. I have fished all over and finally landed the ray in Boralus.

Kommentar von Smooka

Currently at 5250 cast. Don‘t give up, we got this

Kommentar von LazyMinerva

I gave up after around 3200 reel ins at tiragarde sound last year. I just got back on the grind with another 700 in Drustvar while watching videos today. Pray for me, I want to discard my Darkwater Skate for a respectable swimming mount. We fish together, brothers and sisters in arms.

Kommentar von Mishkka

4-6 hours daily and thousands of casts after a full week and nothing..... Idk if it helps but im even using my maxed out Tiefenlichtangler and Nats Hut as well as this Hitzebehandelter Spinnerbait

EDIT: Complaining about it on Wowhead worked for me, I got it about 1 hour after my original post, I was in Drustvar at 20.03,43.03 standing right on the little boat at the end of the dock, After about 6 days of farming in Zuldazar I switched to this location.

Kommentar von Bladebitch

Fished off and on again for a few days in Drustvar while waiting for Athainne to spawn. Got lucky and got it after 809 casts. :)

Kommentar von GatesVengeance

I just caught this in just under 200 casts right outside Xibala. That may be my luck for the rest of 2024.

Kommentar von Cuffouis

Reports say, Rochen unterjochen can only be achieved by fishing up Großmeerrochen, opposed to purchasing it on the auction house.

Other mounts released in "Battle for Azeroth" that can be bought and sold on the auction house:
Goldmähnes Zügel drops in Das Sturmsangtal
Durchgekaute Zügel des verängstigten Packmulis drops in Drustvar
Zügel eines gezähmten Blutschmausers drops in Nazmir
Gefangener Dünenaasfresser drops in Vol'dun

Kommentar von Karmageden

This mount CAN be caught in Mechagon. I Just got one, coastal fishing.
