Description

We know you're lucky, but... just how lucky are you, <name>?

One night I was wandering the roads of Darkshore. I was looking for a good river or lake to try my new self-propelled, exploding duck decoy and I think I was a little tipsy... because I passed out and awoke hours later in Auberdine. My hair was singed and my bag of electropellers was gone! I must have dropped them in the water!

I need those electropellers! Maybe you can fish them out of some lake or stream in Darkshore...

Progress

Did you find any electropellers? I'll need them if I'm to continue my research on duck decoys...

Completion

I can't believe it! You found them! You are the best fisherman I've ever seen!

Thank you, <name>. And here, take these. Although you're so good and you probably don't need them, they will help you with your fishing.

Yup, they are there allright (53,32). It took me ~30 minutes of fishing to get 12 of 'em. As a result, my fishing skill is now a stunning 137 ;) hehe.

I found the highest concentration per cast of these on the south side of the fork in the Cliffspring river in northern Darkshore. Every where else I went the drop rate was ridiculously low.

It took me a total of 77 succesful fishing attempts to get the 12 electropellers needed. This means that for me, the drop rate was 15.58%.

I just finished this quest and if you fish at (53, 32) on the Cliffspring River it works the best. I actually fished off of the log that crosses the eastern part of the Cliffspring River and fished toward the water fall. I got all twelve Electropellers in 46 casts. (So an 26.09% drop rate. Not too bad)

Since (53, 32) is right between the northern Blackwood furbolg camp and the naga cave you could do this quest when you do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4763 The Blackwood Corrupted or
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=947 Cave Mushrooms, although the quest will probably be either green or grayed out by that time.

I got all 12 in 58 casts from the log facing Cliffspring Falls at 53,32.

Upped my fishing from 113 to 136 and even caught a Bloated Mudsnapper (he had a Moss Agate inside him) for the efforts.

All in all, it took me only 19 minutes to catch all 12 Electropellers. (Including the amount of time it took to answer the lvl 16 player who interrupted me in the middle to ask where Cliffspring Falls is. And then physically lead him up there, when he didn't understand my answer.)

I found this quest amusing! It was fun, and I think it was made for you fishermen (or ladies) out there! I know the drop rate of this quest isn't good at all, but it really does give you a reason to increase your fishing skill and fish alone. (That's me in the sticky screenshot on my mage fishing for these). Here is a small list of facts I have about them:

Quest is in: Darkshore.
Fishing Skill Required: 35 (may be lower but that is when I got it).

Zone Map: https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=148 https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=148

You can fish for Electropellers at the following locations:
  • Buzzbox 323 (51.3, 24.6)
  • Above Kerlonian Evershade (44.4, 76.4) and Onu (43.5, 76.3), near the bridge over the small river.
You do not catch electropellers alone, or I haven't. They were always in the same loot as some other fish.

Best of luck! Happy fishing!

My fishing was at 107 when I started and it took me 12 minutes and 20 fishing skill points to get all 12 electropellers. Not too bad.. the xp for this quest is good considering all you have to do is stand on the log and cast. No threats unless you go to the south side where the Blackwoods are... nice and easy.

I found that at the river just north of the grove of the ancients there is 100% drop chance.
Good tip for those who wanna finish it fast and are not training fishing meanwhile anyway.

Maybe the drop rate is (much) better now, but after completing the quest [15]The Cliffspring River, I got back off the beach, back onto the road, crossed the bridge back towards Auberdine, then immediately turned left to get to the south bank of the river. Just south of the falls where you collected the water sample (not the falls for the NE Druid quest!), there are two large granite-looking rocks (51,27). Fourteen drops made all twelve electropellers, minus two ""your fish got away"" drops. Can't complain! :D

The drop rate for this quest must have been reverted, because I just fished about 12 casts before getting my first Electropeller.

You can catch the Electropeller anywhere in the Cliffspring River, the Wildbend River or the little pond in the Grove of Ancients.

You cannot catch the Electropeller in the Master's Glaive, as the water is too shallow.

I've just done this quest 3 times in the last two weeks and it took me 60 casts, 51 casts and 48 casts.

Seems like the average is around 60ish, judging from everybody's response here.
