Awoken Coelacanth - Fish in Azj after throwing 10 Stargazer fish(Edit: I was not expecting this to get to the top, for a lot of these fish they have multiple pools that they can spawn in- I did not add them all on here, just where I personally fished up each fish. You can check the fishing guide for each fish to see every pool and location they drop from. Good luck fishing!
(Also I did the achievement with 220 Fishing, I would recommend higher for easier chance with Awoken Coelacanth but it is doable)
Achievement
The Derby Dash
Catch all fish throughout Khaz Algar and turn in the quest within the Mereldar Fishing Derby time limit.

For anyone wondering, the progress is retained between weeks. You can only get progress while you have the buff though. Was four short the previous week (when I didn't knw about the achievement), then I finished it the next week.
[npc=226846] is the host of the Hallowfall Fishing Derby, so she will only be available on Saturdays while the event is active for 24 hours.

Every Saturday, [npc=226846] offers players one of these five quests that will reward 25x [currency=3055] for completing and turning it in that day:Hallowfall Fishing Derby

Hallowfall Fishing Derby
- After accepting a quest, you'll be buffed with [spell=456024] for 60 minutes. You can not refresh that buff or get a new one that day on any character of your Warband, so you have exactly one hour to catch all the required Trophy Fish (and finish other things we can achieve while we have the buff).
- You can pause in between, the buff timer will not continue when logged out. (keep in mind that with the start of Sunday, everything incl. the vendor/quest turn-in will be gone)
- The Trophy Fish required to complete these quests are no special (or extremely rare) quest items. They are regular catches we see in Khaz Algar waters all the time, but to get credit for the quest, you have to catch them with [spell=456024] active!
- This means, for the completion of a quest you should focus on getting the three required ones by fishing in the zones & pools mentioned in the following table or your Fishing Journal (when the character caught one of them before), but it's not urgent to turn in the quest, you have the full Saturday to do that.

- Tied to the Hallowfall Fishing Derby event, we have the The Derby Dash achievement with the [item=223286] reward... something you can use the remaining time of your [spell=456024] on when you got all the required Trophy Fish for your Fishing Derby quest.
- Basically, you travel around and try to catch every fish once and turn in your Derby Quest (at least once) while the buff is active.
- While most catches are straight forward, Awoken Coelacanth not only needs a very high Fishing skill, but also some preparation. Please read the comments there, it would only bloat this one more and they did a good job explaining it.
- There's no guarantee that they will never change that, but right now, activities for this achievement don't have to happen in a single attempt on the same day. The progress will not reset, so you can continue with some missing fish on another Saturday.
[/toggler][toggler name="Vendor & Currency Acquisition" closed=true]
- One of the major reasons to do the Fishing Derby is to acquire the special [currency=3055] currency that is required to purchase items from [npc=226846].

The quest will be shared to all character of your Warband, so you can only get this once per week.
- For every unique fish caught with the [spell=456024] buff active, you will also receive 1x [currency=3055], so up to 20 per week.
- While the actual currency [currency=3055] can only be acquired on Saturdays, [item=226392] can be fished in Khaz Algar waters all the time and then be turned into the currency. But don't use them immediately, keep in mind that you can put them into your Warband bank to use them on characters without the currency to unlock the currency transfer (e.g. for recipe purchases).
[/toggler][toggler name="Hints & Issues" closed=false]
- Fishing Derby quests are shared between characters of your Warband, but that is not happening for [spell=456024]. This buff will only be applied to the first character accepting the quest. This is pointless because it is mandatory to get credit for Trophy Fish, loot currency on unique catches, and progress on the achievement.
- During Beta and on the second weekend on Retail, some characters never got the [spell=456024] buff, which excluded them from the event. This seems to be fixed by now.
- Originally, abandoning the Fishing Derby quest revealed a probably unintended way to use an army of alts to get more of the currency or ignore the 60-minute timer for the achievement. With the Derby Marks for unique catches being character-specific, you could accept the quest on one character, go for as many unique fishes to collect up to 20 Derby Marks. Then you abandonded the quest, switched to your next character, rinse, and repeat. This has been fixed, only your first character accepting the quest will get the buff!
