si quieres este anillo debes si o si participar en el torneo de pesca, pero para participar nesecitas tener pesca ovbiamente xD.

y luego intentar por lo menos quedar en el segundo puesto para obtenerlo.

P.D: la manera facil es que logres conseguir el libro que te enseña detectar pescado, luego faltando digamos 5min para que inicie el torneo busca un banco de peces, asi cuando el npc diga que empezo el torneo empiezes a pescar ahi.

Acabo de conseguirlo al segundo intento en Quel'Thalas, tarde 12 minutos en conseguir los 40 peces. Esta vez hubo poca competencia, por lo que pude pescar tranquilamente, éxito y paciencia a los que aun no logran ganar el evento :).

Finally the boa ring gets upgraded with patch 6.1 using the Ancient-heirloom-scabbard !

Comentario de Madwolf

So, is my level 1-80 ring being nerfed into a 1-60 ring? Whats up with the intellect? It never wasted budget on that before.

Comentario de SoCalWoWGal

This item is the NEW version of Anillo de pirata aterrador that will be available after Patch 6.1 is released.

The "old version", Anillo de pirata aterrador, which was a 1-80 heirloom item, will be changed into a 1-90 item with Patch 6.1,

"heirlooms will be modified to obtain maximum levels that fall into one of three groups: 1-60, 61-90, and 91-100. Your heirloom items will all be grandfathered into whichever group is appropriate, with previous maximum levels being upgraded. "

Comentario de Darkren

Finally, a (useful) ring you can throw onto your lowbie/fresh toons (also, the first BoA ring!). You can get it by winning the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, which is the second version of the Booty Bay Fishing Extravaganza. It is held on Saturdays at 2 PM Server Time.

At level 1 it gives no stats besides the +5% experience; useless to level 1 twinks. Its stats are Stamina, critical strike rating, and hit rating, universally-used stats for leveling (as hit is useless to healers, and crit doesn't affect HoTs).

The in-game calendar lists the derby for Saturdays at 2 PM.

Comentario de Benegesserit

They really need to have it on a varied rotation otherwise certain people will always miss out (work, school, sleep, raiding, other obligations).

Comentario de Ingraved

All of the other heirlooms were created after vanilla content gear. Anyone know if this is the same? or is it just an attempt from blizzard to satisfy all the people asking for more heirlooms

Comentario de Ingraved

so 25% more experience while leveling! Sounds pretty good.

Comentario de 309701

anyone get the Princess Bride reference.....

Dread Pirate Roberts

Comentario de 261600

personally i think this is stupid cus only 52 ppl can win it per year -_- and you cant pay ppl to help you win this tourny :( and i have the STV tourny i shouldn't deny another person a chance at the salty title yes only 52 ppl can get it a year after this that number will increase to 104 note that the numbers are per server but still thats not very many imo and this tourny will be EXTREMELY diluted with ppl just looking for more EXP for their alts which is crap so they pretty much *!@#ed this tourny up really bad

L2 HAVE SOME FORETHOUGHT BLIZZARD FFS
rate comment up if you agree that that item should not be a reward for the tourny
or just post a new one if you think i raged to much
i dont care which one i just want the item taken off as a tourny award or not given to the winner but to everyone after too promote fishing but not make the salty title harder to obtain for ppl like myself who love fishing IRL and in game and want to reflect that

Comentario de LeikaAlleria

No one has mentioned The Princess Bride yet? Inconceivable!

Comentario de 106152

Dread Pirate Roberts maybe...

Comentario de Robanybody

There is a hidden bonus on this ring! If your name is Roberts you get a title (Dread pirate) and immediately go up to level cap. The only side effect is you can only keep the ring for a few days before you have to pass it on to a new character, but if said new character is named Westly or Inigo you get the bonus over again!

(You gotta love TPB)

Comentario de foxbuster

This item has a debuff called Will of Montoya.

Causes you to say "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." in a random rate while approaching an player.

So is this only for the one who turns it in first or everyone who turns it in?

Comentario de shadowdragon986

I'm copying my information from El's Angling here to help people out. I was the server first on Emerald Dream to win the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby.

Boo no server first achievement since they integrated STV with it. Anyways.

* Win: YES! :D

* Effective Fishing Skill (include bonuses from gear/lures): 585. I had the Kalu'ak Pole, a Glow Worm, and my Lucky Fishing Hat.

* Faction (Horde/Alliance): For the Horde!

* Successful Casts (count up the non-Suckerfish from the start of the contest until the shark catch): Eighteen casts.

* Pygmy Suckerfish Caught (from the start of the contest until the shark catch): Twelve

* Where Shark Caught (pool/water type and zone): I was in Grizzly Hills, fishing in the Salmon Pools. I was in the inland lakes in the western portion of the zone, near the Horde flight path.

* Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater): This I can't say clearly, but probably ten to twelve minutes.

* Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy)

There was a person right behind me who was on his way to turn it in when I did so, by about ten seconds on his clock. This would indicate that ten to twelve minutes is probably going to be a popular time to have the best chance of catching this.

And I chose the ring so I'm posting my win info here.

Comentario de 496825

I just won this ring. I did not get a "Realm First!" achievement, but it was still pretty awesome :)

Should I post a screenshot?

Comentario de 497538

Same here, first one on my server to win this ring! :)
A really nice reward and a nice achievement.

Equipment: Just the Kalu'ak Fishing Pole, no additional lures
Total Casts: 8
Total time taken: 7 minutes (Used a flightpath to get there, used HS to get back)
My Fishing location: Howling Fjord. (But this can basically be done from any spot that has Pygmy Suckerfish in it. See: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40199 for locations)

Good luck! :)

Comentario de MrHexo

I don't have this ring but I have calculated it basing on shoulders and chest.
quest: Escape from the Winterfin Caverns

base XP: 20100
with chest and shoulders: 24120

if 20100=100% then 24120=x

x=(24120*100%)/20100
x=120%

according to Your calculations he should have 121% because 1.1*1.1 =1.21 so it seems taht Your calculations are wrong

Comentario de 317258

If anyone was wondering, its a reference to the Dread Pirate Roberts, who is actually dead but his name, ship, crew, and loot has been passed down to other "Dread Pirate Roberts"

Comentario de 532125

Ring enchants are -not- applicable on Dread Pirate Ring unless your alt has the necessary enchanting skill. Just put 30 stam on it to try.

Comentario de Vordwann

For anyone wondering which hand to put the ring on, i have an answer:

"But I know something that you do not know"

"And what is that?"

"I am not left handed!"

Later....

"I also know something that you do not know."

"Yes?"

"I am not left handed either!"

Seeing as Wesley is not left handed and is the "Dread Pirate Roberts" he would wear the Dread Pirate Ring on his RIGHT hand.

Comentario de huldu

This ring really should be rewarded to anyone doing this event, not just the one who wins. It be a nice reward for all the *time* you spent fishing to start with. Fishing is the most tedious profession in wow, hands down. I dont know if most people "cheat" when fishing, cant blame you if you are tho. However i have leveled fishing... twice to 450 and that is so boring and tedious one can easily get nightmares from it.

Anyway back to topic this ring imo should be rewarded to anyone who have fishing skill 450 and completes this event, not just by being the first. Tbh no idea how this event even works, just noticed the shout-out about turning in a shark.

The ring is nice but its is far from "great".

Comentario de 394556

Has anyone tried to enchant this with the enchanter's enchant (lol) and then throw it to an alt? Is it doable or the ring remain stuck on the character/the enchant doesn't work on the alt?

Comentario de wronnyd

(Note - although the ring gives 5% more experience, the reduction in time taken is not 5%, it is slightly less than that - if the ring gave 100% more experience, the time taken would be reduced by 50% and not 100%)

I guess your calculation was:
time reduction = 1 - 1 / experience rate
r(100%) = 0%
r(105%) = 4,76%
r(120%) = 16,67%
r(125%) = 20%

Someone who has the other two heirlooms just gets 3,33% out of it. (20 - 16,67)
This concludes in only ~30 hours overall or 3h 20min per character.

But even my calculation is not complete, because it does not take the "+hit"-bonus in account.

If you aim for the fishing achievements anyway, it's a nice reward.
If you do not, then you should not start fishing just to get the ring.

Put it this way...

you are stupid :)

This is a boa ring . you can level Anything with it :)

Comentario de 167178

What people seem to forget is that those 5% are sooo easely gained in other ways.. it's really not worth the time grinding unless you're a baller at fishing.
My point is that if your levling takes so long time that 5% seems like a huge timesaver, you're probably better off getting a levling guide, buying up a couple of rare BoE items on the AH for your alt etc.
Ofc you can do both though but imho it's really not worth the time.
You might want it as a show off item though ;)

Comentario de Haylel

It's worth mentioning that you DO NOT have to catch the shark in a pool.
I caught a shark in the lake in Grizzly Hills and won myself this ring.
It says you can catch a shark "anywhere you can catch a Pygmy Suckerfish".
Pools are not the only place you can catch them.
If you're flying around searching for pools, you're wasting attempts.

Comentario de 309800

YOUR math is flawed, a 25% increase means playing 80 hours (not 75) for the equivalent of 100 hours XP, or 4 bars free every level, not 5.....

25% of 80 = 20, therefore 80 hours + 25% = 100 hours

25% of 16 = 4, therefore 16 bars + 25% = 20 bars

Try thinking of it this way, it would take you 25% less time, or 25% less xp required.

25% of 80 is 20, but we're not talking about 80 hours, we're talking about 100 hours, therefore 25% of 100 hours would be 75 hours. So it's not the math that's flawed, it's the interpretation of the meaning "gain x% more xp".

25% of 20 is 5, ie 4 units of 5 =20 ie 5+5+5+5=20

Clearly the issue is that people are interpreting it as requiring 25% less xp rather than gaining 25% more xp. Thus the confusion. But 25% more xp gained =/= 25% less xp required.

Comentario de Nihlo

since all current +xp items won't work in cata, it's probably smarter to take the boots. There will be new heirlooms for 80-85 when most people start to twink.

Comentario de 619850

ballpark estimates please: how many hours would one need to invest, on average, to get this ring?

Comentario de Knockknock24

Fail on the math guys.

The XP bonus is most likely multiplicative.

so 10% + 10% + 5% is actually more like

1.1 * 1.1 * 1.05 = 1.2705

So a total bonus of 27.05%

Then, i also saw the error of someone thinking they could substract that from 100% to get the XP required to get. (like 100-27.05) Wrong again.

suppose you need 100k xp normally, with a xp bonus of 27.05% you would only need:
100.000 / 1.2705 = 78709.17 XP

Comentario de badmoonrisen

I have one of these...

Only took 2 YEARS of every Sat & Sun doing the Fishing Tourney's ( THAT truely sucked)...

My questions are...

Can you equip 2 of these on the same toon?

Can you even have 2 of these on one account?

BTW I got my shark in Venture Bay from a pool about 3 minutes into the Saturday Tourney...I almost had a heart attack as the game started lagging at the same time...it took 4 minutes to hearth back to town and turn it in.

Good Luck to all...I have 2 toons with the Salty Title and frankly I'll NEVER do that again...

...of course NOW I have a Worgen...I was really starting to enjoy my weekends....sigh....

Comentario de 728004

As of 12-11-10 this ring does NOT provide bonus XP to toons going past lvl 81 - just won the Derby today and tried it out. This is post-Cataclysm and I tried on an 81 druid. So sad :(.

Comentario de Skeksil

As I discovered today, it helps to do it on weekends when people are likely not in the game, or if they are, are busy elsewhere.

(And for those skipping around looking for harder info, I can confirm the shark can be pulled from regular waters, not just in pools. That's how I got mine, since someone else was taking the pools and I figured I'd lose more time trying to find fresh ones.)

Comentario de 140328

The 5% XP bonus also increases XP gained from Archaeology digs. I assume this would also apply for mining nodes, but haven't tested it myself.

I was getting 12304 XP per dig (on a 77 mage, who was also wearing heirloom shoulders), and with the ring equipped I get 12840 XP.

Comentario de Stagemaster

This ring says from 1-80 is that just a wowhead error or will this not lvl past 80?
Cause the jump from 80-81 for the other iteams increases the stat's by x2.5 so this would quickly become a very bad ring if it didn't.

Comentario de marc4551

With the new Capes and heads its 15% ekstra. some says there is legs too, but where can you get them, so it could be 50% ekstra xp, and with that guild thing its 60% ekstra xp.

APART from the 5% increase, those stats really aren't that fantastic. Jus'ayin'

Comentario de 790454

I won this on the first shot, took like 10mins to get it, so I guess everyone had bad luck. My tactic was to start at the very left of Grizzly Hills and follow the river east, make the loop around that circle shaped river, then go south. Had LOTS of schools and zero competition, which was my goal. The bad time wasn't due to lack of schools(There was plenty), it was simply because the damn fish didn't drop. I was going on 2 stacks of suckerfish with other trash when it finally did, amazed that no one had turned in the shark yet.

I avoided Borean Tundra and Fjord, as that is where everyone else will be fishing that shows up at the last second for the contest(You will arrive in Northrend in either of those zones unless it's a mage port). I also avoided Sholazar, expecting anyone that realizes my previous statement to go there instead. The rivers and lake at the center would be promising, but you'd most likely have competition for it. Competition=bad because it means ppl will either attack you/gang you and KILL you to stop you, or leech off of your schools like a di ck. Either way it's a setback vs ppl without the hassle(Meaning they will likely win). When I went to turn it in, I did so only about 5 seconds before some night elf chick that ran to the NPC after me. So half skill, half luck. Had my hearth set to Dalaran obviously. Alliance have an unfair advantage due to hearthing closer to the NPC, but the difference is minor.(It only amounts to about 1-2 extra fishing casts)

If you don't like Grizzly, then I'd recommend the west/southern parts of Fjord, far away from the FPs. Very good ring, I'm glad I threw my rod in the contest. My next toon I plan to roll soon will now have another +5% exp and a blue ring that scales with lvl. Keep in mind that +exp stacks up with no cap, so this is another 5% on top of whatever else you have. That makes this ring VERY valuable. You only need to get once too. You can reuse it forever. The total will be +40% for me because I'll have the shoulder(10%), chest(10%), ring(5%), cape(5%) and guild perk bonus(10%.) I'll have pretty much all of them except the head, but rank20 guilds on my server are near non existent.(If there even is one, I doubt it'll let me sit in it for 3 weeks just to get a loom)

Comentario de Swordy

I can't believe it hasn't been asked. What's the min requirement of fishing to have a good chance at winning this thing?

Comentario de brionl

Since it is completely random whether you get a shark or not, your fishing skill level is entirely irrelevant, if you are only fishing from pools.

On second thought, you should have at least 100 fishing so you can learn to track pools.

Comentario de 790454

Yes, skill lvl has ZERO impact on your chance to win this shark. This is because your chance to catch a fish is 100% if fished from a pool, and the shark is only in those pools. So it's just random blind luck that you either get the shark or don't. Skill and lures only matter on open water, on pools they do nothing at all.

Comentario de 699688

Few days back rolled onto US servers, and as needed to start there from scratch, was looking to get this ring. On mine old server I got it after dozens of tries, so had experience in how to get it, just needed a luck.

Sadly in saturday I managed to reach only lvl 66, and just learned fishing, newer the less, have decided to give it a try and try and catch a shark.

Went to Borean Thundra, and flyed from zepelin on arrival there, just to jump in death, as forgot I still couldnt fly in Northered :-), from warsong hold tooked a griphon (or whatever) and flyed to dalaran and seted hs at Amisi Azuregaze, bought few fish oils (as doing this with shaman) of ah and went on ground mount from Dalaran to Venture Bay, died only twice on way there.

So, just in time, at 14h when derby started, I was at venture bay, with no school in sight, tho managed to find 1 asap, fished it up, vent to next one, there 85 guy joined me fishing it up, then i moved to next one and catched a shark, voila, hsed, and handed it first. Got few from angry to curious whispers too. Had aswell unexpected luck with npcs there, was neutral with them so they didnt atack me

To summarize it, after wining the derby i was lvl 66, with fishing skill 12

Good luck to everyone still looking for the ring

Comentario de Baneleaf

I have two of these, they are unique, and they do not work over level 80. Other than that if you are an alt-o-holic like me you must win one of these. I really wish they could be sent cross server since I am running out of character slots though.

I wish there was some way to get this ring other than the god damn fishing tournament.(##RESPBREAK##)136##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##

Comentario de teslarobot

--- A guide to getting this ring ----

What you will need:
1. Your hearthstone set to Dalaran
2. 100+ fishing skill to find fish schools. (Technically 1+ skill works too)
3. Weather-Beaten Journal (Diario deteriorado por el tiempo)
4. An Alarm clock that can be set to 1:45pm Saturday (Most cell phones can do this. Also dollar stores may sell alarms that can do this)

Helpful Items/Abilities; Another nice item to have is a Wormhole Generator: Northrend (Generador de agujeros de gusano: Rasganorte) but its not required. The Argent Tournament Tabard will get you close to Dalaran but its rather far from fishing locations. Not many schools north of the Argent Tournament. There are also Rings that will port you to Dalaran but 5000g. Its also handy to be a Mage that can portal to Dalaran.

IMPORTANT; You will want to use your Hearthstone to get back to Dalaran. Especially if your alliance as their Inn is closer to the quest NPC. Only use your hearthstone if it will be ready at 2:00pm.

Set up the alarm near your computer. If you hear the alarm you have 15min (hearthstone CD) to go get ready for fishing northrend pools to get the Black tip shark. If you find yourself in Dalaran when you log on you will have plenty of time to get to fish schools. If you are low level you will want to take the SW or OG portals and take a boat back to northrend as there are many safe fishing schools for even level 1, which is the level requirement of the quest.

The boat in Stormwind will take you to Borean Tundra to start fishing. The Zeppelin outside Undercity takes you to Howling Fjord. If your able to fly in northrend you can use the Zeppelin in Ogrimmar (Its land locked and not suggested for low level players).

As you fish you want hop from school to school fishing from them. Fishing from a school is 100% to get a fish even at 1 skill so lures are not needed. The fish you will be going after is the Blacktip Shark (Tiburón macuira) which only obtainable for the hour of the tournament. You will then Hearthstone back to Dalaran and turn in the shark to the Kalu'ak walrus man running the tournament located beside the Fishing Trainer Marcia Chase.

Notes: I've rarely seen the tournament go for longer than 15minutes on my server. I have read comments that with maximum 525 fishing and lures that you may be able to fish in open water and not have to school hop. I will test this personally before I recommend doing it. I may be able to obtain a shark in open water for the hour even after someone else has won the tournament for testing. I'll edit this if I get one open water. For now, school hopping has worked for me and is the recommended method.

Good Luck :)

It seems that the Kalu'ak fishing derby was removed. You can win this from being first or second place in the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. Today I won first place in the Extravaganza and had the option to choose this ring, the trinket, a fishing pole that gave +40 fishing, the eternium fishing string, or the boots of the bay.

Comentario de 2217coolman

Just won this from placing second. To let you all know, even though it has been stated before, I have confirmed that if someone wins from a different server, it doesn't affect you. As long as nobody from your server turns it in before you, you can place first, even if every WoW player from every server but your own turns it in.

Comentario de Huennin

Prior to patch 6.1, this was the only heirloom that was not able to be upgraded past level 80. Thankfully this oversight has been corrected and the Dread Pirate Ring can now be fully upgraded to level 110. However, it is unique-equipped so you can only wear one per character, although you will also be able wear one of the Garrison Shipyard heirloom rings (Anillo de lealtad del almirante Taylor, Sortija restituida del capitán Sanders, Sello de la Tercera Flota).

If you had the old 1-80 version of the Dread Pirate Ring, it automatically becomes 1-90 and can be upgraded once to 100 using Envoltura de armadura reliquia vetusta and a second time to 110 with Envoltura de armadura reliquia deteriorada!

Any newly-won Anillo de pirata aterrador will start as a 1-60 version and can be upgraded to level 90 with Envoltura de armadura reliquia ancestral, and then again to 100 and 110. At the top of this page you can click on the Normal link below the 1-60 sliding scale to see the ring's stats at any level.

As of Legion, rings no longer give primary stats so this will serve as a nicely-scaling substitute for Legion drops until you're 110. The rings from the Garrison Shipyard (Anillo de lealtad del almirante Taylor, Sortija restituida del capitán Sanders, Sello de la Tercera Flota) are even more valuable for leveling alts in Legion, as they will still provide a primary stat that any leveling replacement won't have.

Comentario de weibe23

these are much easier to get now, today i won the STV fishing contest 4 times (different servers)

- twice on a paid account with a level 24 player (got 2 BOA rings)
- twice on a level 20 trial account (got one BOA ring and BB blue boots)

the night prior i got the level 24 to 100 fishing, and then opened the iron trunks in her bags to get Diario deteriorado por el tiempo and hit the contest today. i won in 27 minutes, decided to continue and got second too.

logged on a 20 trial account player and i hearthed to BB, to see if contest was over on another server, 58 minutes into the contest no one had claimed first. so i figured i may be able to get second if anything. got 1st and with 23 minutes to spare got second

- having fishing at 100 helps to get find fish ability from journal
- having hearthstone set to BB is a must...imo and on action bar
- fishing pole, did not equip one either player and used no lures
- put fishing ability from proffessions on action bar that equips a pole when you cast

Comentario de Pzypro

Having leveled 10 toons to level 90 most of whom solely through dungeons. I don/'t think I have ever seen anyone with this ring despite having every other heirloom in the game. I myself have every heirloom too except this ring though to be fair I never tried getting it either. Might try sometime before leveling my 11th and final toon - the monk.

edit: what do you know. Managed to win 2nd place in the 1st STV contest I tried. And proudly walked away with my shiny new ring! Oh what an experience that was though.... To avoid typing up a giant essay, let's just say that the zone was a complete battleground during the time of the contest. I myself wasted about twenty minutes trying to fight off a group of horde who were trying to kill me but couldn't while not allowing me to fish either. This is what happens when a geared blood dk gets attacked by an undergeared druid/mage and a healer.... finally I just stood still to let them kill me so I could get away from them rofl. The zone chat was going crazy with people trying to stay alive/get revenge lol.

Anyway, never imagined I would have won after all that time wasting but apparently the others must have had it even worse than me - as I managed to beat 3rd place by a good ten minutes (poor guy said he was being ganked for almost half an hour). o_O

Time to make that Monk and enjoy one last grind through all the dungeons! ^^

Comentario de Bogdanov89

Very annoying to get, the stats it provides are not all that good, you can only wear one, you can't use it after level 80...

The only good thing about this ring is the 5% exp bonus - and even that is so low that you can just ignore it and get the other BoAs that give 10% exp bonus AND are easier to get.

Comentario de Akitnaya

After 10 weeks of attending the STV Fishing Extravaganza diligently, I finally managed to get 2nd place to get this ring. Doing this on a PvE server would probably be ideal. I know most of you know how to do the fishing contest but here's what I did -

I used my Dragon Fishing Pole & Anglers Fishing Raft.

*NOTE: I'm on an Eastern time zone server so the contest starts at 5pm for us!

I changed keybinds 1-4 with #1 - Fishing, #2 - Any mount that isn't big. (I used my Jeweled Onyx Panther,) #3 - Anglers Fishing Raft & #4 - Hearthstone. (Set my inn to Booty Bay.)

Every time before the contest started at 5pm, I got there by 4:45pm to have time to set my inn to Booty Bay & scout for spots people weren't sitting at.

The competition starts automatically at 5pm so you don't have to talk to anyone. Just find a pool (wreckage pools count too) & start fishing as soon as you see Riggle Bassbait scream in general chat that the tournament has begun. You need 40 (2 stacks) of Speckled Tastyfish. I stayed on the northern (left) side of the zone, north of Booty Bay the whole time. I found more pools & less people trying to fish from the same pools & the pool spawn rate seemed to be faster. When casting, even if your cast lands on the edge of the pool, it still counts so don't re-cast if you see this happen! Having the ability to "Find Fish" & having auto-loot on is a must!

Another thing I want to point out is that everytime I flew down, I dismounted in the air & made sure to land in water & click keybind #3 for my Anglers Fishing Raft as soon as I hit the water then space bar to get above water & stay afloat. This helps position yourself better in places where there really isn't any land to stand on. Plus while other people are mounting up & going to the next spot over, you can just use your raft & swim over without wasting time mounting up/dismounting.

That's really pretty much it. ~~Only annoying thing about this heirloom is that it's good for lvl 1-80 with no upgrades & is unique-equipped~~.

*EDIT - As of WoD, the ring is now good for lvl 1-90 & can be upgraded to 100!

Good luck all.

You can only wear ONE of these. If you are lucky enough to win the fishing contest again, do NOT take a second ring.

When is the Kulu'ak Fishing Derby going to come back to the game? I want my BoA ring(s).

Comentario de BMHunterMain

Noticed today that with the changes in WoD, this ring currently gives no stats at all until you hit level 5, just the 5% experience boost. My first thought was that this was Blizzard's way of 'removing' the heirloom ring from the game, until I happened to notice that it started showing stats once I hit level 5. Just wanted to point this out in case this causes confusion for anybody else in the future.

Finaly it will be possible to upgrade the ring when patch 6.1 is out. !

To upgrade, use Envoltura de armadura reliquia vetusta

Comentario de valfader

@#$% this ring and &*!@ Blizzard for making it the only way to get it being through a god damn fishing contest with no less than 15000 other people. That means that you have at best 1% chance of getting it (if you're not ganked to @#$% by people helping some guy) every week, for a total of 52 chances every YEAR.

This is completely unacceptable. It was unacceptable back when nobody cared about the fishing event, and after the heirloom revamp it's a #$%^ing joke. The Salty title? Forget about that, unless you somehow bribe every other player in the world.

In before "u mad?". Yes, I'm mad, and I #$%^ing hate Blizzard for their poor design choices.

Three new relatively easier to obtain Heirloom pirate rings were added in 6.2 to accompany this old girl, Sortija restituida del capitán Sanders, Anillo de lealtad del almirante Taylor and Sello de la Tercera Flota, all obtainable via rare Naval missions from your Shipyard which also requires a lvl 3 Garrison and a lvl 3 Shipyard.

You are indeed able to wear this ring in addition to to the new heirloom rings of which only one of them is able to be worn at a time, allowing an additional 5% xp.

Comentario de 1535084

Never give up. 1st place was announced at like 20 minutes. I turned in at 30 minutes and won 2nd place.

Comentario de Clickey

This can be worn at the same time with one of the 3 new naval mission rings. So

Want the Dread Pirate Ring? Stuck on the Stranglethorn fishing tournament for weeks and weeks? I got a quick guide for you. This isn't the usual guide that tells you to bind your hearthstone to Booty Bay or anything like that - you already know all that. No, this is about how to really win it if you want it badly enough.

Two weeks ago, I set out to win the Dread Pirate Ring, and today I won it (first place even!). Here's how: My main server is high pop. I quickly realized there was no way to win it there. The only way to win was to roll new toons on low pop realms, where competitors are less numerous. The fishing tournament is also a numbers game - why not go for as many chances as possible on a given week?

I chose the following servers to roll new toons:

Gallywix (Brazil)
Aman'Thul (Oceanic)
Garrosh (United States)

Notice a pattern? Each realm is the lowest pop PVE realm in a distinct timezone. This gave me 3 separate chances at the fishing tournament each weekend. I could have gone for Europe as well for a 4th chance, but that one is at 5am for me so forget it.

I rolled druids on each of the realms for the instant flight form. I only took each druid to level 60, which takes no time at all with heirlooms and spamming dungeons as tank. I transferred some cash over via battle pets, and each druid was equipped with 150% flying and Azeroth flying for cheap. You can take them to 70 as well for a significant boost in flying speed, but that 4k+ gold to get it was too steep for me. In my experience, you were good enough at 150% vs. 310% since your flying is instant. If competition isn't fierce and pools aren't too spaced out, your instant head start will match or beat the 310% guy (assuming he's not a druid).

So how did I fare on each server?

Aman'Thul (Oceanic) - Aussies are serious about fishing, no joke. I competed twice, each time there were roughly 50 people across both factions within my server gunning for the win. What was crazy was that Aman'Thul, the LOWEST populated realm, beat Saurfang (a realm with 2x-3x its population) by minutes. What can we deduce from this? Don't roll Aman'Thul - serious fishers are already doing what I'm telling you to do and it's not a pushover realm. Go Saurfang instead if you really want an Oceanic realm. If I had done so, I would have gotten the Dread Pirate Ring yesterday instead of today. Also, the lag is horrible and you will have trouble casting.

Garrosh (United States) - Same deal as Aman'Thul. It's no secret that Garrosh is the deadest PVE realm in the US, and that attracts all the fishers. The story was the same, serious fishers came out of the woodworks all thinking they were the smartest guys in the room (realm). Don't go for Garrosh, go for a slightly less dead realm that isn't well-known as a desiccated corpse.

Gallywix (Brazil) - This is where I won. I only had six other people competing against me, SIX! And I found one of them casually fishing at the Booty Bay docks next to Riggle when I won, who clearly didn't know what a tastyfish pool was. I had the entire Northern Stranglethorn river to myself. I had horrible luck fishing up raw sagefish and other junk, and I still won first place by 4 minutes. The only other person I saw while fishing was a level 100 with a badass mount, but he glided over the water slowly without landing as if RP'ing someone who didn't give a f*ck. This realm is the realm of golden opportunity. I won here on my first attempt, and I performed worse than I did on both Aman'Thul and Garrosh time-wise.

So in the end, what's my advice? Go roll on Brazil. They have very minimal CRZ, and there's almost never any hop groups at all that I can see. They are fully disconnected from all the other realms for all intents and purposes of this tournament, and it's quite possible that they all despise fishing. GO BRAZIL!

What's up with that screenshot? Oo

Comentario de jimlow

Just got this ring today :D as of 7.2
Some important things to note. The fishing event is no longer listed in the blizzard calendar UI. The event is always 2:00PM server time. Also since the addition of cross realm zones this ring is now given to the first 50 people per realm so it should be much easier to get. I hope this helps somebody. You can do it :)

Comentario de Eglin

I'm not sure that it still accepts fifty winners. The contest usually ends in about 15 minutes, and all fish disappear from inventory. With max fishing skill, Pagle rep hat, fishing artifact, and even with mostly uncontested pools I'm usually only up to about 30-35 by the time the contest ends. Honestly, quests like this are the worst part of the game and the biggest reason I frequently allow my WoW subscription to lapse for extended periods. It's a hassle to be on at the scheduled time, it's miserable being forced to compete with such a large population, and continually failing despite an overabundance of preparation isn't fun. The ring is absolutely unique - everyone needs one, so it's pretty clear that there are a bunch of sadistic twats at Blizzard.

Comentario de Thorwen

Got this baby today, finally, after trying and failing for nearly 5 months. There are so many small things that can screw you up. Like, sometimes you fall through water even after using something for water walking, just because you tilted you camera the wrong way. It can cost you couple of casts while you try to get back to stand on the surface. Also, auto-loot f-ed me up couple of times. You need to wait till you see 1/40 specklefish, and then cast again, since sometimes you just want to cast faster and you cancle your loot windows without actually looting. A lot of the times RNG will be very bad for you too, I've gotten like 5 random fish in a row, then the 6th cast was the specklefish. So many small things that can ruin your chance to win this ring. But today I got lucky, played it out perfectly, and got it. Just be patient and calm, remember that you ain't the only one with some bad RNG and mistakes, get there early, throw some practice casts, and you'll eventually get it. Good luck to you all, may the RNGesus be ever on your side! ^^

Comentario de Wachassa

Try this in a Brazilian realm, there's almost no competition and cross realm only happens with other Brazilian realms.

Since Legion the quest was turned into a World Quest that pop up in your screen as soon as the event begins, which means you need to be at least level 110 to get it.

Don't want to level a character from 1 to 110 just for the ring?

Make a Death Knight to skip the 1-55 leveling, level it to 70, then you would be able to create a Demon Hunter, from that on you need to level only 12 levels to get yourself in 110.

To make sure you don't fish trash, get at least 150 skill in fishing with that character, and do the basics like setting the Hearthstone in booty bay, farm some gold to upgrade your mount speed from 280% to 310%, toggling Auto Loot and binding the fishing skill.

First attempt i got first place 14 minutes in.

Posting this from Shadowlands... don't be afraid to give the fishing tournament a shot for this ring. I got it on my first try (you don't need to be the winner of the tournament - just one of the first 50 to turn in your fish).

1. Level your fishing to 225
2. Set your hearthstone to Booty Bay
3. Use a water walking potion and oversized bobber
4. Scout the area for a bit - you will see people "pre-fishing" pools so that there will only be 1-2 casts left when the tournament starts; avoid these
5. Get in place and find a pool of fish - start casting just before the tournament starts and keep tossing the lure out until you see the announcement in chat and then let that cast finish
5. As soon as you hit 40 hearth back and collect your heirloom

I think the lake near the Venture company (and the river north of that) have become a bit saturated. Lots of comments from winners are from here and as a result there will be lots of people camping this area. If your goal is simply to get the ring, I stuck to the southern river and then up and around the coast. I was able to just keep making a small U-shape as the pools respawned very quickly. Took me in total about 13 minutes.

I put this off for yearrrrss because I assumed it would be too hard to get. I regret doing that. The easiest 13 minutes of my life for an heirloom item!

Comentario de xSurvivor7x

Getting real sick and tired of wasting months of my life trying to get this PoS heirloom, Blizzard. Thank you so much for locking something completely unrelated to fishing skill behind a tournament that rewards nothing except fishing skill boosters and is plagued by tryhards who farm consumable fishing buffs every single week. Glorious work and foresight. Truly.

For anyone wanting this Heirloom, you'll either have to grind literally for MONTHS, hope you get divinely lucky, or otherwise just give up and look somewhere else for Heirlooms. This is easily the worst one in the game to farm for and I as I write this post am left with a disgusting taste in my mouth after spending months trying and failing having to compete with people who for some odd reason max out their fishing skill to farm fishing skill boost stuff?

It's honestly the worst experience in the game imo.

Do not waste your time and life trying to get this PoS heirloom. You stand no chance and the competition is super toxic.

Comentario de eschatonx

Not adding anything that hasn't been said, but as an altoholic with 40+ max level characters, I've avoided this heirloom because I'm not a fishing person. I finally bucked up and got my fishing to 75 and participated.

Took me three attempts. No consumable, no special pole, I am a DK but water walking is totally not needed at all and I didn't use water walking, and lastly I only have 280% flying. No need to min max this.

Just show up every Sunday you can and eventually you will win. It isn't that hard and it isn't that time consuming, but it is highly competitive. Good thing is that it's more luck based than skill based once you understand how to do it.
