Okay, so this guy is a new fishing trainer. He has some quest designed to inform a new player or returning old player that you don't need to equip a pole to fish. If you have the required five golden carp in your bags, you can complete it immediately.

Aside from this, however, he'll give you the location of the "fish of the day", where there will be large amounts of pools of certain fish in spots they don't normally spawn, apparently (or, at least, don't spawn at as high of a rate). You can have him just tell you about it or mark it on your map for you (with a little red x). Or both. He sent me to a spot in Sri-La village in Jade Forest where, indeed, there were many pools of reef octopus very close together. This is VERY convenient if you need whatever the fish of the day is, though it might drive down prices in the AH to some degree. (If you hope to sell some, I suggest waiting a couple of days, but then I'm not sure how the "fish of the day" rotates.)

As I said, they are very close together (I counted more than a dozen from where I was standing), but some sort of water walking - including the raft you can get from the Anglers - would help. There doesn't seem to be any quest to complete, just a lot fish to get. According to El's Extreme Anglin', "Days start and end at 03:00 (PST for US realms, CET for EU realms, and Australian EST for Oceanic realms)."

Ben starts and ends the quest No fishing pole necessary

A good fisherman never tells all his spots, but Im a terrible fisherman IRL so this doesn't count.

On the days that he sends you to Gokk'lok Shallows in the Dread Wastes, fly out to the middle of the inlet and there is a raft out there that can't really be seen from shore. Land on it. I fished from this thing for two hours. (timed by Uralter pandarischer Angelglücksbringer being used twice to full duration) I never moved off this raft. I simply pivoted to face the nodes while they were up. Two hours netted exactly 21 stacks of Riesige Mantisgarnele and an entire raft load of sealed crates. The point is you never have to move. You can't fish all the schools fast enough to outrun the respawns. Also, you will not aggro the huge shark swimming around in the water eating up the schools like you will if you're on your own raft from the Anglers.

On my server, today was Redbelly Mandarin day in the small lake in the north east corner of Townlong Steppes. I didn't really find a place that was better than any other in this location. The lake is actually a bit small but I found that standing on the stones in the center didn't work for very long and still required movement to get to pools. That being said, the lake is small enough that moving around on your raft from the anglers isn't overly difficult. One thing I did discover as referenced in a comment above is that the mob fished up from the Large Crowded Pool will drop one stack of fish as well as one of the Nat Pagle quest fish that you probably won't be able to pick up because you will have likely already gotten it while fishing the pool to make him spawn.

I will update this post as I find other "sweet spots" on the Fish of the Day. Happy fishing everyone!

In the spot where the many pools are,there is also a very big pool!
I fished in there for 30min and the pool never vanished!I dont know if it is endless but it was nice to stand only in one place and fish :D

has anyone considered that perhaps ben of the booming voice may be a reference to http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/BEN_(Aka_Haunted_Majora's_Mask)? it is most like not a reference at all but considering that this ben is near water and is a fishing trainer it is a possibility

Kommentar von Rayanna

Ben of the Booming voice is possibly a reference/homage to the last Heath Hen, Booming Ben. The reason I think this is:

The last of the Heath Hen species was a male named Booming Ben (the Booming part is from the noise they made with their tails and air sacks on the side of the throat as part of their display to attract females)

Booming Ben’s coloring was reddish with a grey-brown tail and Ben of the Booming Voice wears a red shirt and has a grey-brown hue to his fur, Booming Ben also had brown pinnae (feathered "horns" from the sides of his neck) and Ben of the Booming voice sports a sharply pointed brown beard

Heath Hens were considered gallinaceous (heavy bodied) and Ben of the Booming Voice is, like most male Pandaren, heavy in the body

Heath Hens were once extremely, ridiculously plentiful and Ben of the Booming Voice gives a daily location to plentiful fishing spots

Ben of the Booming Voice talks about conserving other species (by fishing up the plentiful “invading” species”) and the Heath Hen was one of the first species humans tried to save from extinction

It is believed that the Heath Hen preferred grasslands and places near water, Ben of the Booming Voice is located in the Valley of the Four Winds and near a river

More Information on the extinct species of Heath Hen and Booming Ben can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Hen

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe the area he sends you to is populated with the pools until after you talk to him. Yesterday, I logged out at the lake north of the ox temple where I had been fishing the crowded pools of redbelly mandarin. This morning when I logged back on, I was still there but the pools were gone and my assumption was that the location had moved to some place else. So after doing my farming bit in Halfhill, I went and spoke to him and he sent me back to the same lake for redbelly mandarin. When I arrived back there, pools were everywhere.

So I don't know if talking to him phases the area for you or if maybe I was just cobwebbed and groggy when I woke up this morning. But I am hoping to confirm or deny this at some point in the near future.

Admittedly, the "fish of the day" will always tank in price on the AH simply because of increased supply in the midst of steady demand. However, this is still an excellent way to put the Bündel mit Zutaten to good use. These award one Ironpaw Token each.

Admittedly, they aren't the most efficient way to trade for other things, however, fifty stacks of fish for the Kochschulglocke can now be knocked out very quickly when compared to the pre-5.2 grind.

Or, if you're like me and your main is a healing class (with really terrible DPS gear), four stacks of fish will net one stack of the needed meat and thus remove the need for the slow grind of actually killing mobs for meat.

The thing I've personally found it most handy for is leveling cooking on alts. What used to take days of dailies to grind out on an alt can now be fished by my fishing toon and whatever material is needed sent through the mail.

The only Fish of the Day that won't work for this is the Stachelfisch. There is no empty container for it sold by the vendor in Halfhill, and the only thing this fish is used for is Dunkelwassertrank. The empty container was on the PTR but didn't make it live.

The bottom line is that just because the price drops to rock bottom on the actual Fish of the Day, it can still be quite lucrative, efficient, and time saving. Provided you don't mind spending an hour or two fishing.

Kommentar von yossarian

So, you give him 5 fishes and he gives you back 10.
I wonder if he can also walk on water...

Kommentar von Chual

If you're in a cross realm group with a friend Ben will tell you about the Fish of the Day on YOUR server. You can, however, still see the Fish of the Day on your friend's server if you are on their server.

Kommentar von nihmue

The Fish of the Day locations given by Ben seem to be great for fishing up various rare fishing drops!

I pretty much always get my Mimic Octopus, Flying Tiger Gourami or Spinefish Alpha on 1st or 2nd catch there.
What I like to do is turn the quest fish in after catching it, and then go back to the Fish of the Day area to catch a second one within minutes, for an easy turnin the next day.

I've also gotten multiple Impeccably Sharp Tooth from one area in a short time, and I caught my Tiny Blue Carp from one of these areas (though that last one may just be pure luck).
Edit: I have caught a Tiny White Carp from one of the Large Pools as well now.

Use the Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm to increase your catches and minimize time.

When you fish the Large Pool among all the smaller tiny pools in the area, you will summon Krakkanon once you deplete the pool (this may take a while!). Krakkanon is an elite sea monster with a lot of health, but fairly easy to solo. It just takes some time! He drops stacks of fish and has a chance to drop Nat's Fishing Journal.

Kommentar von Lichiana

Does it seem to anyone else that Riffkrake is now a rare fish of the day? I've been looking for it every day for a month and it still hasn't come up on Tichondrius.

Kommentar von NorlandoDarrow

Did they get rid of the fish of the day event? I just talked to Ben and he told me to go to Krasari Falls, but there are no pools here.

Kommentar von matoh

As of 6.0.3, apparently his information is bugged! For example, today he said the fish of the day is in Binan Village, but after I check there, there aren't any large swarms of fish anywhere near the village. Yesterday he said the Fish of the Day is on Timeless Isle, but turns out the swarm is on Krasari Falls! I don't know why is this.

EDIT: in patch 6.2, Ben finally got his fishing tips right again! For three days straight now, I have verified that all fishing locations that was given by him are correct. It seems the bug has been fixed.

Kommentar von sakera

I'm wondering if the implementation of CRZ in Pandaria once WoD started could be having an effect on where Ben says the daily spot is located.

For instance, my Hunter asked him just a little bit ago where the daily spot was located. He said it was the "Woods of the Lost" in Jade Forest (Jade Lungfish spot). I went there but it wasn't up. So on a hunch I flew over to Timeless Isle just to check there and it was up (Jewel Danio spot at Mossgreen Lake).

So I patiently fished til the Krakkanon spawned, promptly killed him and looted a Nat's Fishing Journal.

Kommentar von spoonymog

Ben's locations are fixed as of 6.2!

Kommentar von Thirsom

Looks like with the Legion prepatch, now the locations are broken again. Today, he is sending me (on EU-Terokkar) to Krasari Falls, but there is absolutely nothing there... I've submitted a bug report. Yesterday and Wednesday still worked as intended.

Kommentar von Agilhardt

This NPC is a reference to Ben Brode, Lead Designer of Hearthstone, who famously has a loud, booming voice.

He also has a more direct reference in Warlords of Draenor's Garrisons, with the NPC Benjamin Brode.

It's no coincidence that both NPCs wear a plaid sweater with suspenders.

Kommentar von oozie

He asks you for 5 carp but as a reward he gives you 10 - I think he needs to rethink his business strategy!

Kommentar von questionauthity

Ben sends me to Karasarang Falls but there are no pools, this has been going on for months; Ben sends me to Jade Forest and there are no pools, this has been going on for a week or more. :/

Kommentar von Aurhia

This is broken again, again. Last time I spoke to him was before the most recent patch and he sent me to the right location and today, nada.
