Kommentar von Sabiah

Is this a rare guy, or is he always there?

Kommentar von 250447

In here there is only 1 spawn!

In the page for Lost and Found, a guy mentions he randomly spawns in other locations and that he had encountered him twice in different ones. What is the other spawn point ?

Kommentar von 265840

Confirmed at 46.8, 24.5 I logged in IMMEDIATELY after server reset and there he was. The charm took about 15 seconds to show up in my bag - which had me VERY worried. Good luck all.

I have tried to successive times to get this on my other toons after a reset. No luck on either try so it's not a guarantee folks.

Kommentar von bookworm13

You can talk to this guy to get a Ancient Pandaren Fishing Lure (allows you to sometimes catch extra fish and is not consumed).

Update: This is set to become a toy, so as long as one of your characters has this, you should be golden(##RESPBREAK##)12##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von Martika

I can confirm that this NPC *IS* targetable via a macro, just use /target ghost and your'e set! Found him today at the coordinates marked on the map!

Kommentar von Picky

The spawn rate seems to be ~13 hrs instead of 12 as reported at Els'. Saw him spawned yesterday, October 2nd at 11.15. Farmed him from 22.45 to 23.50 that day with no avail. Just spawned again at 13.36, which leads me to believe he did spawn yesterday after all, just after midnight.

Also he can be manually added to NPC Scan for a "ring" with data as follows:

NPC ID: 64004
Zone: Pandaria
Name: Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman

Kommentar von sTyLnK

If your bags are full, CLEAR up a spot before! The first ever server reset of Mists I figured I would hop on asap and test my luck and beat the competition. All ready to go, I logged in and saw him sparking away. Sadly when I clicked the dialogue box, I got the message "your bags are full". Firstly, I didn't realize my bags were full and second, I didn't think it would be a problem. Well seconds later he disappeared before I could say "Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman"!

2 things to know when clicking him or any rare "Lost and Found" achievement items in Pandaria; Make sure you have space in your bags before hand and when you click the item, loot it. Once you click it, it WILL disappear after whether you grab the item or not. A GM cannot help you either. They told me because it's tied to an achievement, they can't give me the item.

I'm happy to say that this morning I hopped on after the first Mists Tuesday maintenance literally a second after the servers went up and he was there again. Many "Lost and Found" achievement items pop up after a server restart and if not most people have reported seeing many of them up. Never hurts to check. Anyways, Because I knew exactly where to stand from the first time, I logged in, clicked him and he disappeared all within a few seconds. Funny enough the second he disappeared two other people logged in a few feet behind me. Yes, that's how close it was. To say they were upset was an understatement.

If you see this rare spawn, don't hesitate. This is the ONLY item that allows you to fish up more than one fish in a Pandaria fishing pool. And because cooking is a horrible grind, this will help a lot with the fish parts!

Happy hunting! :)

The comment about this npc respawning on all server resets is incorrect. I was the first one on our server this morning, literally seconds after it came online and he was not up. Him nor the craftsman had respawned during the maintenance. No one else was even in the area.

I also logged a toon on ally at the same time. Neither faction had a character online in Four winds.

Kommentar von EveOfAzeroth

Extra data point, got up during the reset and spent half hour clicking "login" then "change realm" every 10 seconds to make sure I was first person in (left myself logged out exactly where map shows.)

No fisherman in sight within seconds of server coming up, or the next 4 hours after that.

Now assuming someone managed to log in in that .5 seconds before me, I'm now standing in same spot 13 hours later (been here since the 12 hour mark).

Still no show.

So think we're jumping to some conclusions without enough data points on resets/spawns right now.

Edit: Logged in immediately after rolling restart today and he was spawned.

Kommentar von Hhalle567

Been camping this and seeing many others camping as well. Was there right after maintenance, no one camping and no fisherman. Later in the day was flying by and NPCScan popped off (I put the info in for Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman yesterday), dropped down quickly and there he was, surprisingly with no one camping him. It was not raining, so it appears the theory that he only comes out when it's raining is disproved.

Put the info in NPCScan, you'll be glad you did - good luck!

Kommentar von contorted

Upon logging in today, he spawned about 10 seconds later right in front of me. I managed to grab him first, and two others were actually able to get theirs before it despawned.

Guessing this means as long as you click the text to accept the item, you get it. A total of 4 people got theirs.

Kommentar von grusommegeir

Saw the rain started and immediately relogged my fishing main, i got to the spot the top comment suggested about 2 mins after and about 3 mins after that again, the pandaren spawned. he despawned instantly after getting talked to.

Oh the benefits of a low pop realm....checked this guy the day after I found out about him at 6:03 am (EST) or 3:03 server - (Daggerspine) and he was right where he was supposed to be. Clicked on him, chose the only option and got the charm. Easy peasy.

Kommentar von HelloKitty

Camped him for days and then watched as he spawned and a warrior who was there nabbed him before I did.

Here are tips/tricks I learned to ensure that this tragedy will not happen to you:

1. You should have the NPC in NPC scan, obviously.
2. Bind "/script SelectGossipOption(1)" to a keybind like 1. When you click on the Pandaren, just spam 1. If I had this macro, I think we might've both gotten the charm at the same time (I heard that's possible).
3. Know the EXACT spawn location of the fisherman. As detailed by this picture:
http://i50.tinypic.com/1h854x.png
^^^ He spawns roughly where YELLOW is (and my rogue is standing). He DOESN'T spawn where RED is (which is where I had assumed he spawned, and had to waste a second to walk to him and click him.
4. Don't do this on Ner'zhul until after I get mine! Thanks!

If you are on a competitive realm for him, I would recommend you stand directly where my rogue is (in stealth, if you have it), with NPC scan ready and your gossip script macro ready. It also wouldn't hurt to be familiar with your "Interact With Target" keybind, in the event that you need to target him via a /target macro or clicking NPC scan's popup. Otherwise, the second he spawns, right click him and spam the hell out of your keybind.

Kommentar von 1045975

After doing the daily fishing quests and a little farming, decided to head over just to see if by any luck he was there .. read these forums and went back into wow decided I wasn't going to waste too much time waiting, literally as I was casting my mount he spawned right on top of me .. and I got the trinket which I am now loving :) for those of you who are checking by spawn times, this was on Bloodhoof at 2:55 pm central Oct 14th ...

Kommentar von 1046697

Just got this the on Sunday at around 2:00 PM server time. I had started camping the night before at 11:00 PM which, at the time I got the Lure, gives it at least a 15 hour spawn time.

However, the primary purpose of this comment is to confirm that you can no longer get more than one Lure per spawn. I had heard the NPC scan go off, spammed my various macros, and received the Lure before any of the other friends even heard NPC scan go off. There were 4 of us there, and not even one of them saw the NPC spawn before I received the Lure.

The secondary purpose of this comment is to provide insight to the spawn timer of this NPC. I had to wait over 15 hours for my spawn, but it could easily be a much longer timer, as I was the only one there when I arrived.

One of the friends that was camping with me at the time decided to camp the mob the following day. He started camping it 15 hours after I received the Lure, 5:00 AM server, and proceeded to camp the mob until 12:00 AM server. This information leads me to believe that either the mob is on a much longer timer than previously thought, or that the mob does not spawn on conventional timers, and might easily be randomized between a few set times.

Kommentar von 1032837

So a server restart takes over as me and an alli were waiting for the spawn... went to smoke, cadid a lil wowhead'n and saw it pops rite after restart... cool I thought! So I came back and my char screen was up, so I tried to log in, but world server was still down... went about 2 mins and tried, got in, and the alli was right next to the fisherman, so I ran over, talked to him and got it... then 4 horde, 1 of which I knew, logged in and asked if this was the spawn, I said yes and linked the charm, saying they were too late, but they called me a liar... then again some people would camp there after receiving it just to be a d!ck lol

Kommentar von dasbaum

Got him right after a server restart. npc scan informed me only after i was like 20 meter away from him. don't trust your vision range or npc scan. it will go off pretty late and since the npc skin is transparent he can't be seen quite good. definetly check the place for yourself and make sure he is not there.

Kommentar von 685278

Two days camping him no spawn and no others are standing around, not sure what the respawn time is but its def more than 15 hrs for me :(

/sigh

Kommentar von yakulto

Been debating with myself if I need to put it out here, as we all know the respawn timers are generally random (who knows but the devs).

Last tuesday restart the NPC appeared after the server reset, however it was the only time I didn't camp the npc but a guildie got the charm. So Wednesday I decided to see if it spawns on a 24-hr timer and started camping the spot at about 24 hours since my guildie got the charm. Was about a few minutes past the 24-hr timer when the fisherman spawned.

Hoping this helps somebody out there. By the way, if you're on barthilas you might wanna try to camp the spot from the time the dailies next reset. I will be camping it with my other toons as well.

Kommentar von Connection

I've been camping him for a few hours each day the last weeks without finding anything. And as I fly over the area, I always stop for a while just in case.

This morning I decided to park myself for a couple of hours as usual, he was standing there sparkling. No other players were in sight, but I got my charm before he faded away.

Servertime 6:22 AM and on realm Balnazzar. No idea how long he had waited for me ^^
Just 8-10 seconds later another player arrived, but since the fisherman had left there was nothing to see.
Finally I can spend my time doing something else.

Kommentar von YariniCeteri

VOTE THIS UP SO OTHERS CAN SEE IT!

VERY important to note that, before talking to the fisherman, you should make sure you have bag space. I clicked him to see the message "Your inventory is full." and then the NPC despawned, without progress for the achieve or receiving the item.

Kommentar von darkenedangelus

So I've been camping, with the assistance of a guildmate, since Tuesday (currently Sunday morning). The spawn point hasn't been unattended for long, and for the last 48 hours he's been on constant camp. I've heard many spawn time theories, but my server seems to break all those during my patient waiting for this NPC. He seemed to have spawned in the early hours (approx 5am server) on Saturday morning, now about to roll over to 26 hours after his last spawning, still no Fisherman.

Icecrown-US - No 12-15 hour respawn timer. One theory I've had, which would be difficult to confirm.... what if these items/guys spawn, RNG, after another item/guy is looted. For example, if the Pandaren Fishing Spear is up in Krasarang Wilds and someone loots it, RNG would generate which other item/npc to spawn. In theory, there always being one active (including the grey loots)... I dunno, early morning theory before my first coffee.. Nonetheless, 12-15 hours busted on Icecrown.

Kommentar von DisRuptive1

Just adding some data points to spawn timer info.

I got my charm on a Wednesday night at 11:53PM. A friend of mine got his on the Saturday afterwards at 7:16AM. The difference is 55 hours 23 minutes. We can probably round that down to 55 hours 20 minutes or 15 minutes to account for a few minutes each day that the mob spawned and wasn't activated.

The 55 hours 20 minutes could me he has an approximate spawn rate of every 18 hours. A friend of mine will check on the 16-18 hour window just to be sure and I'll update if anything new comes up.

Kommentar von Perkoset

I do not wish to start an untrue rumor, so please take this as it is, just a theory. Yesterday when I learned of the Fisherman, and his spawn point, I did a few flyby's and noticed a non-interactive clamshell several feet off shore in the water.

And I thought, how convenient for me because I navigate by landmark.

Today, on my first flyby I notice the clamshell is gone. Which made me curious. Why would a non interactive, supposed piece of artwork, just vanish?

Unless it's some sort of marker? Placeholder?

So he wasn't up. But I flew back about 30 minutes later, and BLAM... there he was. Spoke to him, received my charm.

The clam shell did not magically reappear. But I'm going to check later and see if it does.

Kommentar von rushun

Just came to check on the mob as soon as the server was back up from maintenance but I am 90% sure he has not spawned. I did not get him, nor was there anyone else anywhere near the spot.

Someone in general suggested that the respawn may only be 100% following a restart and not maintenance, which might be correct as Galleon has not re-spawned either.

Kommentar von So1dier

I can confirm that that more then 1 person can get this at the same time. Me and my girlfriend both got it, along with the achievement. I also think that a third person got it along with us. It took about 3 minutes before it spawned in my inventory, right as I was flying away from that location. I tried that macro but I was in a hurry, and when it didn't work for me I ended up right clicking and clicking on the chat bubble to take the item.

Anyways here is a screenshot of the item and the achievements we got.

Kommentar von Azbine

If you are trying to get him after the server reset, be sure to disable as many addons as possible. You will load into the world quicker with less addons. Worked for me, hope it helps :)

Kommentar von pmff

I am amazed there was someone brave enough to risk missing this item by taking a millisecond to screenshot the mob...Thanks for the image though, it's nice to know what to expect!

Kommentar von 873860

Finally found this guy 8 min. before server shutdown on velen,US. ( 2:52 am realm time). It is not my only experience with finding one of these items before a restart/shutdown. I've also found the Ancient Pandaren Mining Pick 2 min. before a restart and the Kafa Press 1 min. before shutdown.

good luck to all who look for this guy as he drove me nuts. he is small and transparent so go all the way down to where he spawns. I was almost touching him b4 NPCscan picked him up. Also, i've read he has a 5 sec despawn time it was instant for me today (dunno if someone got him b4 me but I doubt it.) and I instantly received the charm.
hope this helps.

Kommentar von Wulfrick

Got it today ar 9:52:43 server time. Had been flying around the area between Shrine and Halfhill and always make a point to fly past his spawn point each time. This last time he materialized right as I got there (couldn't have gotten any luckier than that). NPC scan does work if you've got him put in.

Still, both this and the mining pick are huge letdowns given the rarity and how heavily farmed they are. This procs 25% of the time and only in pools. You'd think they'd make these rares a little more epic - like 100% proc OR fishing from anywhere, not just pools.

Kommentar von 1058613

Got him on a Wednesday night, around 6pm server. I know people are saying that it doesn't have to be raining for him to spawn, but here is my experience:

I logged in at his spot, he wasn't there. I went to do my farming, and, as I was planting some turnips, the sky went dark and it started to rain. I immediately mounted up, flew to his spawn point and there he was.

Coincidence or Causation? I don't know, but I think it is worth taking a look when the skies go dark.

Kommentar von 1058762

OMG i did my early morning check (bmah- some rares) and i went to there, hoping i had luck.
when i didnt saw anything i assumed my luck was bad. until my npcscan went off. i couldnt believe it. i spoke to him and flew away :D date is 14/12/12, @ 6:48hr server time :p
happy hunting

Kommentar von 917659

Two people can get the charm if they both talk to him at the same time. This might be hard due to latency, but my wife and I were able to do this because we play at side-by-side computers.

Kommentar von FailTrain

Here's a cropped screenshot showing the dialogue-window you get when interacting with him. In order to get the Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm you only have to select the option, and the item will appear in your inventory (if you've got available space). Selecting the option will also cause him to despawn.

Server: Moon Guard
Server Time: 3:09 PM
Date: December 18th
Weather: Sunny

This morning was rolling restarts, Moon Guard came back up approximately 9:25 AM server. I logged in at his spawn spot and there was nothing. There were several other people standing around and I'm about 95% sure he hadn't spawned after the server came up, as I was right on top of the server coming back online.

This afternoon I was reading comments on the Flying Tiger Gourami and someone suggested that it can be caught from the same place that the fisherman spawns so I thought 'what the heck'. I logged in on top of him. Got my charm, and my achieve, and I can confirm he despawns IMMEDIATELY. I didn't even have time for a screenshot.

Kommentar von 1049778

I don't see this posted here or on the "Charm" page, but I just tested this by summoning my 80 Shaman to Halfhill and running to the Ghostly Pandaran Fisherman when I was looking at him on my warlock, he was NOT visible to my Shaman. I went ahead and took the item on my warlock but I'm very dissappointed as my Shaman is the only fisherman I have between all my characters.

Apparently there's some sort of phasing going on there that I have yet to figure out. If anyone has any information on the phasing of the fisherman I'm extremely interested.

I stumbled upon him accidentally tonight while mining and doing Tiller dailies. This is on Scarlet Crusade, around 2am server time. Finally got my "Lost and Found" achievement! I was also relieved to find out that Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer isn't consumed on use (unlike several other Pandaria rare items).

Kommentar von 463376

Definitely seems to be a roughly 13hr respawn, my friend got his at 10:05am server, after looking here I went and camped from 9:30pm, it spawned at 11:07pm server, then I was passing by on an alt just now and realized it was roughly 13hrs from mine, so checked and it was up at 12:27am server though I don't know how long it had been up for then, wasn't there 25m before when I passed on a diff alt.

Got him today morning at 9:30 am with my pala alt but the pala has fishing at 100, so no need with that char.

Looked up wowhead and read something about a 13h timer.

Waited with my main char from 8-11 pm and at 10:30 pm he spawned again, so should be there again at 11:30 am tomorrow.

so 13h timer worked fine for me. server was not restartet or something like that.

Kommentar von borek921

Found him just now by accident. I had him added in NPCscan. Just going to Tillers to get my daily Ironpaw Token and addon rang. I flew down, noone was camping for him, I even got to read what he had to say. A pleasant suprise to see him there alone, and I'm on high pop realm.

Kommentar von Akitnaya

OMG! he FINALLY spawned 4 me around 2 or 3 in the morning eastern time on server Area 52! Thank GOD no1 else was around. I can't help but laugh @ the person who flew down like 15 seconds later. I was camping on n off 4 like 2 months now! Happy camping 2 every1 else who hasn't managed 2 catch him!

*Ppl ALWAYS /laugh-ed or jumped up n down in my face or whispered how I was too late n that they got him be4 me so it felt good thinking evil thoughts when I finally got my charm.

Kommentar von fifth

It's kind of funny camping here and watching all the people log in and out at that location. Once a shadow priest logged in and I almost had a heart attack!

Kommentar von Mhaya

Got him today at 9:30 pm on Twisting Nether server. Was just about to leave when he came up, got super exited! FINALLY!

Kommentar von CatCoop

In the wee hours of the morning today, I wandered over to the fisherman's spot. I flew roughly to the spot where the map shows, and looked down over the entire section of mountains. Looking around, I saw a sparkly spot. I thought it was an herb, but when I moused over it, the tooltip showed me it was the GFP.

This was the first time I'd attempted to look for it, and since most people here describe how difficult he was to nab, I didn't quite trust it. I flew down, talked to him, and VOILA... I got the charm.

So if you're looking for him, look for a sparkly spot with a blurry dude. That's him.

BTW, I can't say the charm did a lot for me, but I appreciated having it. I immediately equipped it and on the first cast got 2 emperor salmon. I had no 2-fish catches for the next 20 casts, after which time I got a little bored and stopped. I did, however, have a couple casts into pools that gave me both a fish AND a sealed crate.

Kommentar von 1079959

GPF spawned 3:05am server time (The Maelstrom) today and the charm appeared instantly in my bag. He seemed to despawn almost immediately so I doubt more than one person could get the item.

Good luck to fellow fishermen out there in getting your fishing charms. :)

Kommentar von BaconBits

I figured I'd just comment on this so perhaps others can get an idea or any help out of getting this npc. I used to camp this Npc usually in the mornings or late at night, but it seems every time I am not looking for something I end up finding it. Isn't that how it always goes?
Oh, & I completely forgot to take a screenshot (of the time/npc), I suppose it was because I was so damn excited to have finally found him.

I don't remember the exact time, but it was in the afternoon around 3 pm server time on Shadowmoon server if that helps. The date: Jan 26th, 2013.
I was making my way to Shrine of Two Moons and decided to glance down even at a distance. And what do you know!..I saw a light blue-ish figure on the edge of the water & I immediately flew down and clicked on him. He says something but I was in a hurry to get the charm incase he mysteriously disappears. You have to click the option to take the charm & it's as easy as that.
MAKE SURE TO HAVE AN EMPTY SLOT IN YOUR BAG. If I hadn't sold my things at Sunsong Ranch I wouldn't have gotten the charm lol
Pretty much it automatically goes to your bag & he de-spawns as soon as u take it... so NO, I don't believe two ppl can get it even if they were to click him at the same time.
I just got lucky enough to find him with no one around, even though it was a Saturday afternoon.
When I found him there was NO server restarts or anything out of the ordinary going on.
Hoped this helped & Good Luck!

* Btw, the charm says it gives you a chance to fish out additional fish & I have figured out that instead of 1 fish sometimes you can fish out 2. I used to think it'd give you like 5 additional fish :P It's all good though, it's definitely worth it.
& I have yet to have seen this work on schools of fish in the ocean, but it definitely works on inland fish such as Emperor Salmon, Krasarang Paddlefish, etc. *

Kommentar von 150562

The Fisherman spawned at 5pm (ish) and then again at 10pm (ish).

I was camping him a few days straight for those 13-15h spawn times people were mentioning, but I read elsewhere about a possible 6h spawn rate so, for fun, I thought I'd just whiz on by on my way to do by Tiller dailies and BAM... there he was. I had no luck with the longer spawn times.

So, if you are camping and are thinking to rely on a 13-15h spawn time, check in on him much sooner. There's obviously a chance of him showing up as early as 5h after being looted!

Hope this helps.
:)

Kommentar von 764234

I have found him twice so far. Both times early in the morning, first time at 1:09AM server, the second two days later at 2:09AM server. NPC scan went off both times and it's an amazing add-on when looking for this NPC. Haven't been able to find him during the day yet, but once I get him for my guildie I'll let ya'll know what server I'm on.

Kommentar von Slummish

Did not spawn immediately following a server-restart on a Saturday. Waited 30 minutes. Must be on independent timer. Have tried this after three resets now.

Kommentar von seankreynolds

I logged out at his spot last night, I logged in at 4:53 pm server time today, he was there. Took a screenshot of his dialogue box, got the charm.

Kommentar von 798674

just got the charm 2 min after reading these posts! niice. i hadnt even heard of the charm before let alone tried to ge it. A post on lead me here, so i decided to go try for it. I went to the exact coordinates he gave 46.8, 24.6. nobody was anywhere near, was ready to set and camp for an hour or two, lit a cigarette and boom there he was sparkling. works like a "charm"! no restarts or any macros or any npcscans or any of that stuff. good luck! it was 11:20pm server time if that means anything.

Kommentar von 1090829

Just got mine yesterday. I guess I got really lucky because I only just found out about this npc 4 days ago and have been periodically checking the area since with both my toons. I wish I'd been on with my lvl 90, but was just glad to get the charm! :)

One thing I'd like to share is that it appears he doesn't always spawn in the same spot. I was standing smack in the coords given by several others and also by pics shown, but when he spawned for me, he was all the way back in the nook at 46.8 24.4 where the 3 small rocks are grouped on the edge of the water. It was about 3pm server time on Suramar (2/13/13). Some pics show him as being blueish ghost, but he appeared greenish for me.

Also, the charm doesn't appear to actually attach to anything, it's soul bound and I only have to click on it for it to work and it doesn't replace any trinkets or anything. It just casts a buff.

I took this shot with my main toon (not the toon who got the charm)... My companion is hovering over where he appeared for me.

Kommentar von deviouskat89

Attempted a few days ago to submit a more wide-angle screenshot so that people could get a better idea of exactly where he's standing in that nook, but it hasn't been approved. Suggestions? I did have my UI cropped out.

Kommentar von 1095975

I'm sure there's something to be said for camping and jumping on server resets, but I tried both of those things and failed to even catch a glimpse of him. The easiest way to do it and stay sane is to just add him to your NPCscan and periodically fly over his spawn area. I just found him, 12 am server time, with no one camping him, no rain, and the weather hadn't changed recently. Hope this helps!

Just log in at morning, check his position first time ever, and some player tag him, after nine hours I returned and about five minutes he appeared again. :-)

Hi. I've gotten this lure on 6 toons in two weeks on Winterhoof. Two of them are 87s, so you don't have to be a 90 to get this. I've kinda kept track of the times +-, and hope this may help others. All times server. Update... just got it on my 87 warrior.

camped him a couple times, no more than about 4 hours then gave up. came back tonight and 11 people camping but no sign of him. there was a fishing pool right in front so i said what the heck and fished it. people left after about 3 mins.

turn around 10 mins later and there he is. the charm is mine!

Ok, the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman spawned on Suramar server, @ 5:24am ,on Cattail Lake in the Valley of the Four Winds @ Loc: 46.8, 24.4. Time spent camping this NPC was 56 minutes and it was raining (not that I think it matter what the weather is just a point of fact at the time of my success). Also it should be noted that the moment I entered his info into NPC Scan he spawned, which I believe to be completely coincidence. I do believe his spawn timer is random, his spawn site percise and level is not a factor. As an added bonus while fishing up Golden Carp and other such stuff I also landed a Tiny Green Carp companion. Wooohooo Banner morning indeed. I hope this info helps and good luck to all :)

Tip: Do your Halfhill Daily's. You'll get a Daily Quest "A Gift for Old Hillpaw" where you have to find a Freshwater Pearl to Old Hillpaw. You'll find that daily quest takes you to the area where he spawns. You never know you might catch him while doing it.

After reading a few of the comments below, I got the idea that this NPC seems to spawn in the wee hours of the morning. Being that I don't play WoW quite that early, I put the coords in my NPCscan and hoped for the best. While doing my Tiller dailies today at around 7:45pm I got an alert that he was there. I flew over to him, and got the charm, which was lucky because there were quite a few people in the area farming the dark soil mounds for Tillers rep.

Kommentar von AwesomeShaman

If you accidentally talk to him while your bags are full you will get mailed the charm by the Postmaster

Kommentar von Crazybish

The Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman has been spawning around 9-9:30 am and pm on Garona server time. I got him last night roughly at about 9:15 pm. I did try to get him after server restart but he wasn't there.

Kommentar von Wolf123

After hearing about this guy and the rumour he might make the sea turtle easier to get i figured i would ask some friends & look on wowhead, after reading about him & How he's tied to a server reset i figured i would get there before a server restart. I landed at where he spawned and was waiting for the server to reset, it got to " Server restart in 00:30" and HE SPAWNED! i quickly clicked on him and got my charm! then he de-spawned literally seconds later. At the most he was up for 5 seconds, Shortly after i was kicked to the main menu.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, i logged back into the realm to see there was about 6 other people at his spawn waiting, i told him they missed him and they were not too happy.

Used The charm for about 6 hours straight in jade forest while trying to get the sea turtle, doesn't proc as much as i thought but since using it for those 6 hours i managed to get 4 tiny green carp, Not sure if coincidence or the charm actually working.

Kommentar von muggerific

He randomly popped up at 6:37pm server time on Azuremyst. I just happened to be fishing nearby :)

Kommentar von Monthy

As comment on:"I think we might've both gotten the charm at the same time (I heard that's possible)."
YES, It´s can happen. It did for me and another guy. Both got it at the same time.

Kommentar von Romire

Been farming this guy for about a couple of days, im not sure of his spawn time, first 2 times id seen him someone nabed him.

Today arrived at his spot at 12pm AEST 30/7 and just fished till now 4:56pm AEST

So im guessing he spawns every 4 hours

Kommentar von Moriat

You cannot see this npc cross server/phased to another server via group.

I was farming rare spawns with my paladin(tortheldrin server) when i found the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman. I logged on my priest (fizzcrank server) and a friend from the tortheldrin server invited me(phasing my priest to the tortheldrin server). Once i arrived at the spawn location I could not find/see the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman anymore but my friend from tortheldrin server could still see the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman/confirmed that the mob is still there.

Edit: Now that I think about it... my priest is level 70. maybe that's the reason I couldn't see the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman.

Kommentar von Kilrathi3

spawned just to the left (when facing the cliff) of the dirt patch by water edge.
46.8 24.5

mine spawned as a bright white panda fisherman, not the dark-ish one in the screenshot
will try getting another img for here if i see again

Kommentar von Khalessi88

Read this and then went to the spot at 4:44 am (server time) and there he was! This was in Frostwolf server. No one else was there. Good luck :)

Kommentar von Loricrisster

I just saw this guy as I was flying over the area. When I interacted, he gave me the Ancient Pandaren Woodcutter. It was one of the rare finds for the Finders Keepers achievement. And it is worth $100.

Kommentar von SammyLou

It took me about 2 hours of camping this guy, during which time a few people came by and tried to convince me he had been moved elsewhere. The charm was definitely worth it for me because I ended up getting the Sea Turtle from an extra bit of loot from fishing while this charm was active the next day.

Kommentar von Eido

Just to sum up others observations as well as my own:

CONFIRMED INFORMATION:

This NPC is Friendly, you must talk to him to receive your item.
If your bags are full when attempting to receive the item, you will instead be mailed the charm. This was not always the case, according to previous posts.
This NPC will spawn during both rain and shine, AM and PM time server.
This NPC is identified by the addon: NPCScan. To add this NPC, type the following into your chat:
Credit to evlyxx for this script.
/npcscan add 64004 Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman

The item he will give you, Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer, is BoP (unlike its BoA, Mining counterpart: Uralte pandarische Spitzhacke). Therefore, you may want to hunt for this NPC on a character you fish with primarily.
The item listed above is a buff that you can cast indefinitely on your character, no fishing pole required. It has no Cooldown or charges. The buff lasts for 1 hour.
The item listed above counts toward the "Lost Treasures" achievement chain:
Fundbüro
Wer es findet, darf es behalten
Des einen Not...
...ist des anderen Brot -------------> "the Relic Hunter" title.

UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION:

Currently, it appears this NPC can only interact with a single person before de-spawning in seconds. Previously, it was said that multiple people could obtain the charm from him at once before he de-spawned in a few minutes.
According to others, he appears to have a higher chance at spawning before and after server restarts.
This NPC doesn't seem to be blocked by any quest-phasing.
This NPC is visible/interactive even for those without the Angeln skill.
According to a post on this page by crystalheals:
Characters will not be able to see any of the rare treasures until they are level 85.

Spawned at 2:15PM EST on 2/5/2014 on Exodar realm.

Kommentar von 1221586

Read about him at about 5:00pm on Monday, 02/10/14 and started camping him immediately. He spawned at 6:11pm PST (also realm time) and I got the charm from him right away. 2 other people had stopped by during my camp but nobody came around for at least a minute afterward. Then I took off to fish :D Thanks everyone else who's posted, especially Eido! Also submitted a screenshot, it'll be the 9th if it gets through.

Saw this guy just now at 15:02 on Silvermoon (EU) exactly where everyone said. I checked on an off for the last day but hadn't seen hide nor hair of him until now. Logged in and there he was. I don't know how long he'd been stood there but I would guess not that lot since I've seen a few other players flying over.

Good luck!

Kommentar von weibe23

i just found him for the first time, he was at the farm spawn point not at the lake. i had to kill 3-4 mobs, talked to him and got the ancient pandaren woodcutter.

from all the posts on this NPC and Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer i assumed it was a 100% drop item. i guess i have to find him again for another chance

Kommentar von silverw1d0w

NPC Scan found him at 6:16pm EST on Proudmoore..I was unfortunately on the stupid kite to do the watering of Farmer Fung's fields and it took forever to get off it once I did someone already had talked to him :(

Kommentar von mommyclz

Wanted to confirm (just because _I_ was curious) that he does show up on hunters 'track humanoids'. I hung out in front of him, fishing, with track humanoids on for 90 minutes and he never came. I kept turning around to check, but I also was seeing players clearly, so if someone had landed behind me, I knew i would have seen that.

Anyways, I logged out. I came back first thing when I woke up, and he was there. Visible and on my minimap.

Kommentar von 1320626

Haha wow what a lucky day for me not only did I get weather beaten journal but I also got to meet this fine fellow! Thanks for the gift my friend!

Kommentar von 1380395

So I made a silly mistake due to not actually looking up the item this guy gives before deciding I wanted it and starting to camp it. Figured I'd share this to help prevent someone else (who's actually doing their research!) from making the same mistake as me.

This item is NOT like the other Pandaren treasures, meaning, it's not a BoA item. It's BoP. So camping it on several toons across several realms, while effective (I got it in less than 2 days this way), likely won't get you the item on your main fisher, since you can't then just mail it over to them lol. /facepalm Whoops!

Now I have it on an alt I don't even play anymore (nor fish!) and I feel like a horrible human being for selling it. Yay, 5 gold! /sheds a tear

I guess if all you're after is the Relic Hunter title then this method works for simply getting it checked off the list, but if you're actually wanting to use it, better stick to camping it on your actual fisher. Lesson learned!

Kommentar von chrispyer

Camped for 3 hours and he popped up.

Kommentar von 775389

Yesterday i waited him before a server restart and after that for 1 hour but he did not appear, so camping him after a restart is useless i think. Found him today when doing daily but npcscan seems not working with "64004 - Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman - Pandaria" got no alert for him.

Kommentar von pixiepandora

I found him at 46, 24. It was 4:10pm Server Time on Feathermoon

Kommentar von davidgabriel

Easy to get now Just server hop like crazy til you find it. Got it on 3 toons in 5 minutes.

Kommentar von CerimEredar

He is affected by phasing. 3 characters on same server. 2 could see him, the 3rd and newest could not. Was logging back and forth to make sure.

Kommentar von jesy

For anyone coming back later in the expansion to get the Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer, (because you deleted it) he will not appear on the same character you got it with the first time.
I hoped realms for 4 days with nothing, switched to another character and got him within 25 secs.

Hopefully I can save someone the time I lost :)

Kommentar von warriorxedas

For those wanting to snatch this guy if you're having a hard time with hopping realms:
A great time to check on him is half an hour before server restarts (because nobody will be on as time passes) and immediately after restarts. It has gotten me lucky quite a few times doing this since hopping realms didn't offer much.

Kommentar von Throned3

Was reading comments about it, like spawn timer etc. Then alt-tabbed back into the game and he was there.

He is spawned at little part of water, nearest to mountain wall.

It was 15:15 CET - Drak'Thul

NPCscan is very useful for this, SOUNDS on and raidwarning flashes of screen.
Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer is Toy - it was BoP

Kommentar von Djuntas

Legion 7.3.5

So I had clicked on it before, destroyed the item etc, on the main long ago.

Wen't on an alt, learned it fishing just in case, lvl'd that to 10, then went and camped. Spawned as normal after 1 hour.

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(31284)) HAS TO say false, else use another alt.

Kommentar von Aardbeiensap

So someone else that's helping me with the Pandaria toys with his second account created level 1 characters to help with achievements/toys (server hopping) was exactly at his spot and he was constantly logging between his characters on different servers to see if it was up (without inviting me every time). We figured after some minutes we might as well try each character again with this time inviting me who was at the spot as well so I got on his server.The very first character he logged and invited me with had the rare up. I could see it but he couldn't as a level 1 character. Just a heads up for people trying this with a second account or so, you might really need a level 81+ character to see and click the rare. :)

Kommentar von Dylox

Just got it on Stormscale EU server. Friday, October 19th, 2018 04:00 PM Realm time. Warmode enabled if that matters.

Kommentar von mekadyn

I just went to check for this rare and as of 2022, it doesn't have to be raining to find the rare!

Kommentar von Chaindog

As of DF I found Geisterhafter Pandarenfischer hiding under a tree at 45,38.

There was a red NPC standing/patrolling over him and he looks like a shiny sparkle in the dirt until you kill the NPC and "see" him standing there.

Interesting notes: He did NOT appear on Hunter tracking at first. The reason is that aggro Buddler der Sprungschweife is digging right on top of him. So the flying dust and the ghostly sparkles blend together + that Buddler der Sprungschweife hides him on the map.

The drop it gave me was NOT an Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer or anything shiny, he only gave me an Uralte pandarische Holzfälleraxt. Nothing in my mailbox, nor my toy box, or any litter box. None of the comments here or for that item mention not receiving it. I was the first to talk to him, he vanished right after and dropped that Uralte pandarische Holzfälleraxt instead. Have triple checked using the code for the drop and still shown as False on this max fishing toon.
