WoW Forever Fishing Tournament: The Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza, Times and Prizes

The Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza is the weekly fishing tournament of WoW Forever. It opens every Sunday at 2 PM server time and closes at 4 PM, in Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale.

When the contest opens, schools of Tastyfish appear along the coast of Stranglethorn. Fishing those schools is how you catch Speckled Tastyfish, the fish the contest counts.

Who	Role	What you bring
Riggle Bassbait	The Fishmaster who runs the contest	40 Speckled Tastyfish for the quest Master Angler
Jang	Fishing Extravaganza Prizes	Tastyfish in lots of 5 after a winner is in
Fishbot 5000	A robot that collects rare fish for Fishmaster Bluegill	1 rare fish for each of its 3 quests

All 3 stand together in Booty Bay, so you hand in every catch in 1 stop. The monthly fair has its own page: our WoW Forever Darkmoon Faire guide.

The quest Master Angler asks you to be the 1st angler to bring Riggle Bassbait 40 Speckled Tastyfish between 2 PM and 4 PM. It comes back every week.

Speckled Tastyfish bind when picked up, so each one has to come off your own line. They stack to 40, and each fish goes bad 4 hours after you catch it, in real time.

Stranglethorn Vale is contested territory for levels 30 to 50. On the PvP ruleset, players of the other faction can attack you between casts, so fish with a friend of your faction.

Bring a Fishing skill that suits Stranglethorn’s coast. Our WoW Forever fishing guide has the route from 1 to 300.

Completing Master Angler lets you pick 1 of 2 items, and the win also earns a title.

Prize	What it does	Needs
Arcanite Fishing Pole	A 2-handed fishing pole with Fishing +35. Binds when picked up, and you can hold only 1.	Fishing 300
Hook of the Master Angler	A trinket that turns you into a frenzy fish: water breathing and 25% more swim speed while swimming, on a cooldown of 5 seconds.	Nothing extra
Master Angler!	Lets you wear the title Master Angler while the effect lasts.	The week’s win

The pole wants Fishing 300 before you can use it, so a winner with a lower skill keeps it for later.

Once the contest has its winner, Riggle’s apprentice keeps buying Speckled Tastyfish. The quest Apprentice Angler takes them 5 at a time and pays you in coin.

Hand the fish in on the same Sunday afternoon. A fish caught at 2 PM is gone by 6 PM.

Fishbot 5000 collects 3 rare fish for Fishmaster Bluegill’s catalogue and gives an item for each one.

Rare fish	Reward	What the reward does
Keefer’s Angelfish	Lucky Fishing Hat	Cloth head: +15 Stamina and Fishing +5
Dezian Queenfish	High Test Eternium Fishing Line	Replaces the line on your fishing pole; needs Fishing 150
Brownell’s Blue Striped Racer	Nat Pagle’s Extreme Anglin’ Boots	Cloth feet: +12 Stamina and Fishing +5

The rare fish bind when picked up and stack to 20. They also go bad after 4 hours, so a rare catch goes to Booty Bay the same day.

• Level your Fishing before Sunday. The Arcanite pole and the coast both reward a high Fishing skill.
• Stand in Booty Bay before 2 PM. The Tastyfish schools appear when the contest opens.
• Keep bag space. 40 Tastyfish fill 1 slot, and each kind of rare fish needs a slot of its own.
• Bring a character of level 30 or more. Stranglethorn Vale is a zone for levels 30 to 50.
