I just wanna say that ive fished em up aswell in the river, at Camp mojache, witch also is an very safe place of fishing em! ;-)
(If u are Horde)...

Commentaire de 37752

I don't think the drop rate in Moonglade is accurate. I fished between the bridges nearest the druid trainer, and caught 5 in 10 minutes. This is a lot safer than any of the other places listed.

Commentaire de dusk

Currently these fish have two uses:

1 - Craftsman's Writ - Lightning Eel Which increases your Argent Dawn rep by 150 per turn-in.
2 - Make Stormchops added in patch 2.3

Side-note: El's Angling has alot of into on fishing times etc

Commentaire de 99709

After 50 or so casts with no lightning eel in WPL I suspect the drop rates have been altered as a result of the 2.3 patch. Droprate in Deadwind pass seemed to be approximately 5% over a few hundred casts.

Commentaire de 1815

I will confirm that I am not having much luck in WPL/EPL either. I have caught 4 in over 100 casts.

Commentaire de Nulgar

As they're required for one of the new cooking recipes in 2.3, they also can be caught in Zul'Aman - probably in front of Karazhan, too

Commentaire de Warlock82

Drop rates are affected by time-of-day. See: http://www.capsu.org/wow/fish/lightning_eel.html

They are most frequently found between 12:00 and 18:00 (noon to 6pm).

10 minutes fishing (495) Moonglade at 5.00 pm:

1 miscast
12 Raw Sunscale Salmon
12 Raw Redgill
2 Oily Blackmouth
3 Lightning Eel
3 Raw Mithril Head Trout

Commentaire de 87444

I fished from 5:10pm to 5:40pm in WPL and caught 10 lightning eels. I didn't see any pools of fish, I suppose it's all open water there, but it's still a reasonable drop rate.

Commentaire de grimman

10 minutes on the Isle of Quel'Danas netted me 9 eels.

Commentaire de 132402

The lake just south of camp mojache drops them fairly often as well

Commentaire de 141130

Just fished for these in the WPL, inland water, open casts

it went like this :

Fishing skill 400 (375 skill + 25 from rod)

16:50pm ~ 17:21pm (servertime)

100 fish caught on 100 casts,

Raw Redgill = 39
Sunscale Salmon = 30
Lightning Eel = 12
Oily Blackmouth = 11
Mithril head Trout = 8

17:23pm ~ 17:52pm (sevrertime)

100 fish caught on 100 casts

Raw Redgill = 40
Sunscale Salmon = 30
Lightning Eel = 11
Oily Blackmouth = 12
Mithril Head Trout = 7

my finish time was 18:00pm

between 17:52 pm and 18:00pm went on to fish:

Raw Redgill = 12
Sunscale Salmon = 5
Lightning Eel = 1
Oily Blackmouth = 2
mithril Head Trout = 1

and a Bloated Redgill containing 1 star ruby

so as can be seen ..the two 'sets' of 100 fish are almost identical....give or take 1 fish

the 20th Lightning Eel was caught on the 169th cast at 17:44 pm :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

These are listed as one of the Craftman's Writ quest items in 1.11 stuff.

The idea is you will get a random request for items out of some 20 different possibilities. You give a token + the items and get an Insignia.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/argent/

You can get nice stuff with the Insignias.

30 Lighting Eels is listed as one of the quests on the forums from Test server. :brows:

Commentaire de Thottbot

It seems the Lightning eels are only catchable during the day (6am-6pm), while at night you catch Plated armorfish instead.

I fished a bunch of Lightning eels up while waiting for a guild ZG run inside ZG.... when i went back later that night i caught no eels but a bunch of Plated Armorfish instead.

I noticed just now while fishing in karazhan that I was catching all armorfish and nightfins, when it turned 6am i suddenly started catching eels and sunscales instead....

both lightning eels and plated armorfish are used in new AD quests so it makes sense to hold onto both.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Feralas, crazy drop rate. Only fished at the river INSIDE Camp Mojache, north of Camp and the 225 fishing quest place west of Camp. Using 2 aquamarine fish attractors I walked away with 10 of 'em on my stringer , with the odd blackmouth, firefin, and cookables.

Commentaire de Thottbot

OK, I have MAXED fishing(527). I spent 30 mins. fishing in 3 different areas for these fish from the list above. This is how it broke down. I started in EP @ 11:30PMish & caught 2,and also caught Armorfish. After 12AM server time, I didn't catch any more, and actually stayed here for about 10 more mins. just to be sure. Next, I went to the other side of the Silithus mountains, like the idiot above suggested, on the Ferelas side(The Forgotten Coast). I caught multiple fish at once there, but no Eels or Armorfish. Last, I went to Deadwind Pass. I did catch Armorfish there, but again, no Eels. I'm Alliance so I really can't go try Mojache, but at this point, I feel there may be something to the question that you can only catch the Eels during the day. I'll try during the day hours tomorrow & post an update with my findings. Good Luck!
UPDATE: I went back to EP at about 10:30PM Server time & was able to catch 21 Eels & many Armorfish. I was watching the clock pretty close as Midnight came, and caught an Eel at 11:58PM. After Midnight I stayed & fished for another 40 Mins., and continued to catch Armorfish(Though way fewer), but no Eels. At this point, I'm going to say that there is definitely something to catching the Eels before 12AM Server time. Hope this was helpful!
UPDATE 2: I have made the decision the best time to catch these fish in an available area is between 6AM-12PM Server time.(Sunshine symbol)

Commentaire de Thottbot

caught a ton of these in felwood right by the gryphon master, don't know what they're good for besides that quest, but if you want em this is a good place to catch em, also a great drop rate of redgills and sunscale salmon.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Try Lake Elune'ara in Moonglade. Caught about 1 in 5 that were eels.
Hope it helps. :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just got a recipe using them from the new Cooking daily quest, Stormchops.

Commentaire de Thottbot

My fishing budd ay at kara with 375+30+5+100 got after 1hour

Barbed Gill trout (55:49.%)
Cresent-tail skullfish (31:27.9%)
Bloodfin Catfish (18:16.2%)
Lightning Eel (7:6.3%)

Very bad droprate

Commentaire de Thottbot

Found some in Zangarmarsh, low drop rate though

Commentaire de Thottbot

Caught some of these in felwood right by the gryphon master.. Like Arawynn told:)

so... I did some research:

Felwood: 12:15 - 12:45 PM. Got 16 out of 100 = 16% drop rate.. Thats pretty good=)

Moonglade: 01:00 - 01:30 PM. Got 7 out of 100 = 7% droprate.. Not too happy about it.

Deadwind Pass, Karazhan: 01:30 - 01:45 PM. Got 2 out of 50 = 4% droprate.. :(

ZG(need to be in raid for entering, just ask a friend): 02:00 - 02:15 PM. Got 4 out of 50 = 8% droprate.

well..
Back to felwood confirming the nice drop rate..

Felwood: 02:30 - 03:00 PM. Droprate confirmed. Caught 15 Lightning Eels out of 100 fish. 15% droprate.

So I would say Felwood are good for fishing Eels, maby the best place :)

GL all :)

As of Patch 2.3 Lightning Eels are now used in the Recipe: Stormchops which require 1x Clefthoof Meat and 1x Lightning Eel. This recipe is a random reward from the Daily Cooking Quest provided by The Rokk. He can be found at 61,15 in Shattrath's Lower City. For those of you without a /loc mod he's right under the NW Bridge that leads to Terokkar Forest.

On another note this affect is really alot of fun. Our guild tested it out on a Karazhan run when we were on the Nightbane encounter. During the adds phase all you could see was sparks of lightning flying all over the place. Not to mention it also has to hit critters as you run by them. I forgot I had the buff on at one point until a spark flew from me and killed a rat. ><

Fishing outside of Kara, in 20 minutes I caught 71 fish:

Barbed Gill Trout - 38 (54%)

Crescent-Tail Skullfish - 12 (17%)
Lightning Eel - 8 (11%)

For whatver it's worth.

Fishing at Verdantis River in Feralas around 4PM server time with 225 fishing skill and bright baubles I caught:

88 Raw Redgill
53 Raw Sunscale Salmon
15 Raw Mithril Head Trout
12 Oily Blackmouth
21 Lightning Eel

in 1 hour

Commentaire de Thottbot

Got 5 in 10 minutes at Bloodvenom Falls in Felwood. Stood at 41,49 around 5:00pm (I don't think the time matters because I've been catching them here ever since) using the Big Iron Fishing Pole and Bright Bubbles. This is also an excellent spot for Raw Sunscale Salmon which can be turned in to Poached Sunscale Salmon that restores +6 health every 5 minutes. Cooking skill of 250 required.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Restores +6 Health every 5 seconds. Apologies.

Commentaire de Thottbot

There's a decent drop rate of lightning eel in ZA. In 30 mins I got:

20 Bloodfin Catfish
11 Crescent-tail Skullfish
15 Lightning Eel

Commentaire de Thottbot

For those of you who have not been longtime fishers: Fish drop rates vary every 6 hours game time; at Midnight, 6am, noon, and 6pm, the drop rates for many fish change, and there are some fish that you can only catch at certain times of the day. Please post the GAME TIME that you did your research at, as well as the location and %s. Thanks!

Commentaire de Thottbot

For all you fellow finishing obsessives, there is a great mod out there that I have found to be extremely helpful. It's called:

Fishing Buddy.

Not too creative but it works. It has a Time of Day feature that let's you track at which times you caught which fish. I'm not sure if the last few patches have changed whether certain fish are diurnal or nocturnal but pre-BC this mod was a must have for me. Additionally, it really helps since it keeps track of where you caught certain fish and at what drop rate.

Pre-BC I made a small fortune selling stonescale eels (certain then-highlevel alchemy pots required the oil you make from the fish). Alas, these days no one seems to care so much with the advent of elixirs (tho I do love that they persist through death). Once the server comes back online (stupid Tuesday downtime, I always seem to get Tuesday as my day off) I'll start farming and, hopefully, have some good statistics as to where you can find these and other helpful fish.

I fished 3 Lightning Eels in Western Plaguelands today at around 13:00 server time, in approx 1 hour. (plus other things ofc)

Commentaire de Thottbot

I found a good spot for these sorta, When you enter Sunken Temple (ST) or Temple of Atal' Hakkar when you reach the water fish there. Party member needed some fish so I caught some for his pet.
Approx 3:45-4:00 15 minutes
I caught about
5 Lightning Eels
5 Mithril Headed Trout
4 Redgill
So in my opinion this place has some good drops :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

lightning eel can be fished easily in any lake in Western Plaguelands

skill 250 + 100 bauble +20 fishing pole = 370 total skill

Commentaire de Thottbot

BEWARE! The picture above is totally wrong. No lightning eels are located there. The poster is so wrong. Don't waste your time going there.

I did however catch 6 in 30 minutes at the deadwind pass.

Good luck and enjoy your fishing

This is over 3 days - usually 1-4am server - but some off times

I would log in, fish a lure or two
- and then go defend something on another of my 70's
- THen come back and use another lure

It's a reagent. It has to be used for something, but as of yet no one I know knows what.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You guys are either extremely slow or dont have the brains to put 1 and 1 together. Lighting Eel CURRENTLY have no use, however have you ever heard of The BURNING CRUSADE? yes this is an expansion for the game you and I both love. now to answer all your question... Why are they here now? Well at Blizzard, its important to keep things balanced in the WoW community (hint: nerfing items/ character skills). Now you may ask, How does this have anything to do with Lighting Eel? EVERYTHING! Blizzard incorporated these into the game early so when the expansion does come out, the community stayes BALLANCED! (as least as much as they can control) This is so people (like you) start collecting these Eels and Plated Armor Fish. This way when the expansion does come out, prices on these eels (and whatever they are going to be used for) dont skyrocket! now there is always going to be the first rush. For example: when the Enchanted bags were released, prices increased dramatically because they were used in the making of these new bags that NO ONE had. This expansion is going to do the same thing. Prices are going to rocket up when all this new crap starts coming out. Now if there are Lighting Eel and Plated Armorfish already spread throughout the community, prices stay far more reasomable then if they were just released with all the new patterns and enchants and everything else. BALANCE is EVERYTHING! So my final word and advice to YOU is: Dont eat/feed them to your pets! and Stock Up! cause when the expansion is released, you will be pulling in lots of $$$ either from the Eel themselves, or the products produced from them.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This site
http://www.capsu.org/wow/fish/lightning_eel.html
noted that the time of day influences catch rates.

At 11amST, i decided to do a little experiment.

Before noon, I caught 0 eels out of 100 catches
After noon, I caught 7 eels out of 100 catches

So it would seem that fishing between 12:00ST and 18:00ST does increase your eel catching

Commentaire de Allakhazam

got some of these in Feralas horde camp. Looks like noone knows what they are for. Guess a recepie that hasnt been added to game yet

supposedly a recipe what got added in 1.7. no confirmations as of yet, and im too lazy to go find out.

Fished 5 from Felwood around the furbogs. Was one in the ah for 1.5 gold. What are these for?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Technically, it can be white for the sole purpose of being pet food, but who knows, maybe we'll get somewhere with it.

I think I'll store a stack of these and Plated Armorfish on my alt, just in case.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I fished at frostfire hotsprings in winterspring. After one hour these were my results
Whitescale Salmon 68
Plated Armorfish 35

and some other odds and ends.

Hope this helps someone looking for lightning eel and plated armorfish.

I've got some too, and nobody no's anything about it

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Since no one seems to have posted anything truly useful about what this eel is actually used for (other then the obvious quest), I'll post here. These eels are also used for cooking "Stormchops".

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I got a recipe from a daily quest starting in shat lower city. The "Stormchops" recipe creates a buff that lasts 30 minutes and makes random lightning bolts shoot out and hit enemies.

"Signs point to 'No'"

Commentaire de Allakhazam

They're needed in an Argent Dawn quest in the Eastern Plaguelands. You need 30 of these so.. where's the best place to get them?

Commentaire de eKatherine

This fish is eventually used in a Burning Crusade recipe.

Stormchops
Use: Charges you with energy, causing lightning to occasionally zap nearby enemies for the next 30 minutes.

The recipe is obtained from the barrel of fish obtained doing cooking dailies in Shattrath City. It's pretty rare. I eventually got mine by buying barrels of fish from the timewalking vendor when BC timewalking was in effect.

Supposedly it is also possible to get it by doing cooking dailies in Dalaran Northrend.

It's a not very useful gimmick. Basically it will aggro random critters as you walk by.

It is easily fished in the Verdantis River in Feralas. My fishing is 300 and I don't need a lure.

Commentaire de Manqidawashere

Not sure if the craftsmans writs for lightning eel will be a hot item in SoD but with all the surprising changes...it might be. I am going to hold them in the hundreds just to be safe. I fished with 3 toons in Moonglade for about 45 minutes and got 41. Fishing skill 175 with bright baubles still fails to catch fish there but my toons at 225 fishing never missed if they used the bauble but did miss without it. Either way, not sure I can really recommend going there altogether. Ended up with 138 raw redgill, 35 mithril trout, 85 raw sunscale salmon, 1 green boe (ok that surprised me) and 42 oily blackmouth. I am likely going to make my home base fishing hole that tiny lil pond in western winterspring once I can get there.
