These can contain quite usefull things. Not that the green items will get you extremely rich, but when you are a tailor or leatherworker, the items inside the trunks will surely give you a nice supply of mats.

After a typical run alongside the Feralas coastline, I get around 12 boxes, containing an average of 5~7 greens, lots of mageweave/runecloth bolts, a fair ammount of rugged leather and some nice cash.

these crates can be fished in the higher level areas, and for 35-39 areas you can fish https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=21150

Comentario de DrakeWurrum

If you already have the Find Fish skill, and the box has the Weather-Beaten Journal, then you won't even be able to open the box.

How do you get theese? In the ''schools'' of fish? Haven't really understood.

I was fishing in Booty Bay, and found one of these and it had some mageweave and stuff in it... I was like wtf.. but yeah, I landed my fishing line in the middle of one of those whirlpools and o_O there it was.

Fishing is a LOT more fun post 1.9. Around level 35, I started fishing in STV. Usually, I'm just out of aggro range of lvl 44 nagas or buccaneers, which makes my excursions all the more intense. AND all the more rewarding. I've fished up tons of green loots this way that I can't even use yet (level 40+), not to mention many many bolts of runecloth. And of course, the fish :)

PS: Does anyone have an idea what the respawn rate is on floating wreckage? I've seen pools in the "prespawn" stage, where debris looks like it's just under the water and it's unfishable (but still marked as "floating wreckage"), but I haven't ever camped one long enough to figure out when they're fishable again.

Comentario de Thottbot

i found 4 or 5 of these 'floating wreckage' or whatever they r called pretty close to the dock along the mainland shore in feralas, got a ton of nice stuff, just fyi ( ignore this if ur on proudmore 8] )

Comentario de Thottbot

I've fished these for about 3 days.. made about 70g in that time from items that've dropped out.

I' d say without a doubt this is the fastest way to make money. Stonescale eels are a good dime, but the AH can have 400 eels in it on a good weekend, and not everyone can use em. However, everyone needs green items. Hell, i sold "Schematic: Spellpower Goggles Xtreme" for 13g in Gadget after spending the first 15min after log-in fishing on the coast.

Comentario de Thottbot

i saw some floating wreckage and i nvr have before so i took out my fishing rod, caught a trunk ,and man was i excited when i found plans for mithril shield spike AND thorium belt in one trunk

Comentario de Thottbot

I tend to find these quite often in Firefin Snapper Schools.

Comentario de Thottbot

The secret to fishing the mithril bound trunks in Booty Bay, if you want to make the most of it, is to run the beach TWICE. Start point = go up the east coast of the peninsula just past the zanzil ruins. You'll see a palm tree where the sand ends and the cliffs start. There is a respawn point past that palm tree. Fish out EVERY SINGLE node between there and Booty Bay. To do that you'll have to be maybe lvl 40 or so. Kill anything in your path :)

At Booty Bay, swim across and continue up along the west coast of the peninsula, dodging mobs as you see fit, but be sure to fish out EVERY node (lvls <40 do the best u can :) ). Fish them out all the way up to the GromGol camp. After that point the chests change to iron bound trunks.

The trick is that by fishing out ALL the nodes you encourage more respawns and hence a higher respawning of the two choice nodes, Stonescale eel and Floating Wreckage.

The trick is once you have cleaned that long area of fishing nodes you run to BB and unload your loot then go straight back to the start and do it again.

I have had times where I fished out maybe 5 mithril bound trunks on my first run and 30 on my second run (extreme case).

From floating wreckage they drop an average of maybe 2-3 trunks per node, with some stranglekelp and romsey rum thrown in for good measure.

From the others - stonescale eel, firefin snapper and oily blackmouth - you might get 0.5 trunks per node. Not a lot BUT it is worth fishing them out to encourage a respawn and the chance of a floating wreckage node on your subsequent run.

I fished it for weeks and perfected this method. If you're main is a 60 don't bother. Better to farm something bigger, but if you're main is lvl 40 this is outstanding value for time.

Some helpful pointers:

1) If you are an enchanter you MUST do this run over and over. The dusts, shards and essences from the lvl40+ items in these trunks are worth a bucketload. You will struggle to spend all your money after a couple of weeks :).

2) If you are a tailor you simply MUST do this. I still haved 120 bolts of runecloth sitting in my bank on the offchance I might need them one day :). Mageweave bolt droppage is good too.

3) If you are a leatherworker it is great for the amount of thick and rugged leather that drops.

4) If you are the impatient type then don't open them as you go. Wait til you have finished two runs and open your trunks all at once. The general success of the haul overshadows the sinking feeling of that odd trunk that contains 1silver35copper :).

5) Make sure that you ALWAYS carry potions of swim speed and water breathing. The best means of escape from a ganker is to jump into the ocean and quaff a swim speed. They will usually give up unless they can swim fast themselves or walk on water (dam priests).

6) I think you may need 175 fishing to fish in the prescribed area, so get your fishing to 100 in Elwynn or wherever and buy the baubles in the fishing shop in Booty Bay.

7) The spawnage has some sort of locale function in it. By fishing out nodes in the specified area you deplete the supply of nodes to the locale and increase the spawning rate. As far as I can tell the spawning rate is 25% for each of the 4 nodes available. Although you may think that the firefin snapper and oily blackmouth respawn more often, it is an illusion. It is just that they are left UNTOUCHED more often. So when people fish out all of the stonescale and Mithril bound trunk nodes they are spawn-replaced by 50% oily blackmouth and Firefins..... hence the need to fish them all out the fist time round.

8) I tell you now, because I have been doing it and have enough money :). Spread the wealth I say ;)

AMAZING- I was just fishing in my little secret spot and then one of these came out, at first i was wondering wtf is this.. but then i saw you can open it, so i did. Inside i FOUND A RARE ITEM: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4091/creaviudas . I was amazed like crazy! Then about 1min later ANOTHER one comes and i shurly thought this was all rare for a sec and the most amazing thing happens i found the plans for a mith spike.

Comentario de Thottbot

I've been doing this run for roughly a week now, and have fished up 142 trunks. I've gone from 12 gold to 160 gold, so that roughly comes out to 1 gold a trunk, including regular daily spending. Definitely worth doing IF you have the patience to fish. If you don't, go and kill things, you'll get levels at least!

Comentario de Thottbot

Yah fishing is hilarious for the bolts of cloth! I found myself out of mageweave but with tons of runecloth for my tailor. I always remembered back when i use to fish all these bolts of cloth coming out so i figured hey, might as well check thottbot for these things and see if anything comes up with good rates. I gotta say I hunt around for wreckage in STV and i got tons of bolts of mageweave and runecloth using my main! Imagine what it'll be like when i actually set out to level my fishing (it was at like 175 when all this was occuring)!.

Comentario de Thottbot

You get them REALY easy from the floating wreckages around the shores in southern strangelthorn

Comentario de Thottbot

OK... this is THE BEST loophole I can imagine to make $$$ in WoW... and it's NOT for 40+ level and in BB. Now listen closely, as this is how (depending on your server's economy and your own auction house savvy) ANY level 20 character can make an average of 10G per Hour... yes, PER HOUR and yes, LEVEL 20.
At that level is when you can train up to max skill of 225 with the book baught from the BB fishing trainor. Once you HIT 225, you can purchase Bright Baubles from a fishing supplier to up your effective skill (for 10 minutes a time) to 300. THAT's high enough to allow one to fish effectively in Tanaris (lvls 30 - 40).
The best way for a Lowbie to get there is to walk to either Ratchet or Thermadore Isle, then just swim south. A LONG way.
Once you get there (Steamwheedle Port), I suggest walking West to Gadgetstan to get the FP, making future trips easier. The mobs stay far enough from the road heren so they should pose little threat.
Now that you've arrived, just go to the far north end of the beach, just up from the dock and look for fishing schools and floating wreckage piles. Just keep walking/swimming south to get them all. Once you hit Lost Rigger cove, you can still fish, just stay in the water to avoid the pirates. There are 4 spawn places for fish/debris as well, just past the 2 ships, but you'll have to swim out between them to avoid aggroing the mobs, but it's still possible/worthwhile to do so.
I can collect an average of 10 mithril bound trunks from here (in the debris AND the fish - in one Oily Blackmouth school, I found 4 mithril trunks once, so fish those as well per this and to coax more respawn) EACH HOUR. Again, the payoff depends on the economy on each server and your savvy with AH tactics, but the p/o is WELL worthwhile.
I have a lvl 29 NE Rogue I SELF TWINKED doing this. and I mean ALL the good gear and enchants (crusader, +15 agil to weapons..., all of them), over 1000GP worth. I feel 'safe' revealing this, as there are so many servers and it's really boring until you get to the point where you can get 'into the groove' with it, so surely many people will give up... but for those tenacious (greedy) enough to follow it through, this is going to make your lowbie VERY very wealthy indeed! Good Luck!

Comentario de Thottbot

I forgotr to mention above, the reason Tanaris is better for lowbies than BB and STV is that the majority of the mobs on hte beach there are neutral turtles...

Comentario de Thottbot

lol, i found a fishing journal on one of the third ones i found! i was just fishing off the coast of feralas, i found the journal, equipped it, and now i have 15 trunks! a couple gold worth of AHing stuff, and an ebon claw reaver!

then a couple mintue later, i reach lvl 47!

best fishing trip ever!

bwt, it helps to have the giant zapper quet, there are a lot along the coast!

Comentario de Thottbot

i went for fishing comp on the wrong day SATURDAY. lapped from Grom to BB, found 2 of these trunks thinkin they were part of the competition! lol. found out it was saturday and thought - then wth were those trunks.

opened the first 1 and found the weather-beaten journal...woot woo.

Comentario de Allakhazam

These are very good presents if you're lookin' for a few free greens.

Also helps if you have runecloth or mageweave patterns, but no mageweave or runecloth bolts to use.

I myself have made about 30g so far off of these, and i'm only lvl 35.

And that rum tends to help a bit in battle, because if you didn't know, it gives, and i quote (somewhat), "Gives you +15 Stamina and makes you drunk to boot!"

Not much is better than drunken swinging at creatures i can't kill.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Don't ask me how, but this morning before I left for work, I thought I would do some fishing near the pirate compound close to Booty Bay. I saw a bunch of floating wreckage, so I slipped a shiny bauble onto my rod and cast away. On my first, second and third casts I pulled up a mithril bound trunk!

What are the odds? Anyway, did not have time to open them so I am looking forward to the surprises when I get home from work thise evening!

Comentario de Allakhazam

O.o got a weather-beaten journall off one mithril bound trunk... teaches new skill find fish that lets u c the schools of fish jst like find minerals or find herbs does... lucky me

Comentario de Allakhazam

I fished 2 of these in STV.

Opened them and each had 1 silver coin and some copper coins. WTF! That was it! Just pocket change! I realize I didn't exactly risk my life for this but I have gotten better loot than this from Watertight Trunks fished off Longshore in Westfall when I was still in my teen levels. I fished some Ironbound Trunks elsewhere in STV and they had the usual trade goods (silk and mageweave bolts, etc) which at least I can forward to a tailor friend.

Very Disappointing.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I love fishing! I had 20 gold coins at level 25 when I learned fishing, and now Im level 27, 150 fishing skill and 40 gold coins! It will make me rich! I just love it... :P

Comentario de Allakhazam

I have a skill 10 rod lol to lazy to buy a new one, well i put a really good bobber on it and it made BB fishing easy

i got this only had 1s 30c and i think some grey plant sold for 5s while the strangekelp i fished out sold for more.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i fished in tanaris all night the first day of 1.9 when i heard the new stuff was there. Heres what i saw. pools of red firefin snappers, floating wreckage, and pools of oily blackmouths (in that order of popularity, firefins were most popular, oily blackmouths were least popular, and wreckage was in the middle) You have a high chance of catching one of these in pools of fish, somewhere like 1 in 5 catches in a pool is a trunk. but in the wreckage, its like almost guranteed to be a trunk, or a Rumsey Rum black label. the wreckage also has a high chance of being stranglekelp.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Wreckage almost always has one of these in it; sometimes two or three. They're always filled with good stuff; some money, a bit of cloth in the form of bolts, some leather, green items, healing pots, mana pots... Very nice.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Fishing the wreckage is *very* worthwhile. I pulled 8 of these in under an hour, went back to the same spot the next day and pulled 10 more between 2 sessions. In my first run, I got 10 bolts of Mageweave, 4 bolts of Runecloth, 2 greens in the upper 30's, several superior healing potions... that and a couple patterns pulled from bottles on the beach. All in all, close to 20 gold worth of gear in a little less than an hour of fishing.

I fished the firefin and oily blackmouth schools, a stack of 20 goes for about a gold on the AH from people not interested in spending time fishing, and I pulled some trunks from the schools too. Also, Stonescale Eels fetch a few gold (I got 2 for a stack of 11) because they're more scarce.

I fished by BB as well, though if you're lower level you can find plenty of good fishing along the coast of Westfall (if you're alliance). Lower level loot from iron-bound trunks, but plenty of Blackmouths. At that level, you're happy for anything you can get. :p ;)

Comentario de Allakhazam

I got 8 of these fishing off the coast of Tanaris in about 15 minutes. Fished 5 of them out of floating wreckage, but got the 3 others from schools of balckmouth and firefin.

1st trunk
1s62c
superior healing potion
thick leather(2)
bolt of mageweave(3)

2nd trunk
1s97c
superior healing potion

3rd trunk
1s2c
thick leather(3)

4th trunk
1s2c

5th trunk
1s79c
thick leather(4)
rugges leather(2)
bolt of runecloth

6th trunk
1s25c
Brigade Leggings of the Eagle (green)
Rugged leather

7th trunk
1s94c
greater mana potion

8th trunk
1s21c
greater mana potion(2)

All in all, not bad for just trying to raise my fishing, but I did have higher hopes than one green that won't fetch anything special on the AH.

I'm (currently) a 49 holy human priest, playing on Razorgore EU, pvp realm. I have my fishing maxed out at 300 and use Caña de pescar fuerte. I use a normal steed and Zanahoria pinchada en un palo to run. I fish alot (ALOT) in stranglethorn vale. I will fish every pool at the southern savage coast and the crystal shore and can cast from 2 up to 6 times in the same pool. With my level I have a 100% succes rate on catching my fish. I thought for the fun of it I will keep track of what I've fished today.
I did 2 rounds today starting point: 1, end point: 4 and restarting at 1, ending up at 4 before going to booty bay to check out my loot (I have added a screenshot of how my regular route looks like). I did not aggro anything and didn't engage in PVP combat (although I would scare of the lower levels fishing in a floating wreckage). I didn't think alot of other people were fishing but sometimes it felt like pools were missing. This run took me about 1h30min. This is what I got:

I fished in the following pools: (round 1 - round 2)
- Banco de anguilas escama pétrea: 3 - 4
- Banco de pargos de fuego: 7 - 7
- Banco de bocanegra graso: 10 - 3
- Restos de un naufragio: 3 - 4

I got a total of:
- Anguila escama pétrea: 21
- Pargo de Fuego: 41
- Bocanegra graso: 51
- Valija reforzada con mitril: 27 (12: 7 - 4 fished in non floating wreckage pools)
- Alga estranguladora: 15
- Ron Rumsey etiqueta negra: 10

Out of my Valija reforzada con mitril I got the following:
- 42 silver 76 copper
- 11 Poción de sanación excelente
- 9 Poción de maná superior
- 11 Madeja de tejido mágico
- 6 Madeja de paño rúnico
- 39 Cuero grueso
- 19 Cuero basto
- Hoja terrorífica of agility
- Grebas de Campeón of the falcon
- Peto de cromita
- Destructora de campo de batalla of agility
- Leotardos de placas góticas of the eagle

On a sidenote, one time you are more lucky with what you get than other times :)!

Comentario de Sugu

Not every item this trunk can contain is listed. Over time I picked up these things (editing along the way when looting something that is not listed):
- Diseño: punta de escudo de mitril
- Grebas de Campeón
- Hoja terrorífica
- Peto de cromita
- Leotardos de placas góticas
- Hoja de Héroes rota
- Botas majestuosas
- Armadura de cazador
- Sombrero de zahorí escapabruma
- Maza Trituracráneos
- Guardamuñecas de forestal
- Capa invernales
- Guanteletes de belicista
- Arco de tiro real
- Eslabón de hematites
- Espada Golpecabeza

Comentario de Arxroth

I have gotten more of decently valuable items from trunks than I can keep track of so these are real nice most of time.

Sometimes these contains just some lousy coins so, not much of value but those are uncommon.

What is surprise for me is that some items sell on my realm in AH for pretty decent amount thinking how basic those items are...

Overall I started to enjoy the fishing alot.
