TheWoWDBIn addition to the party issues others are reporting, I was doing the quest solo and ran out of eels at 9/10. Every rod gave me nothing, and I looped the beach for a while. On the off chance that you are like me, pay attention to the crabs fighting on the beach. They are fighting over eels sat right in the middle of them, and I could not see those eels from the air. There are plenty of eels on the beach if you use your eyes a bit better than I did!

Completing this in a group (at least as of this comment) can cause issues - I had to compete with my party member on all but the fishing poles spawns of the fish. I got 8 and she got 10, none respawned. Returned 20 minutes later and it was the same, dropping and reacquiring the quest reset them all and I was able to easily do the quest.
Others questing at the same time were still looting the fish, so it's a party issue. Hopefully fixed soon.
To get the eels:
- use the fishing rods - some will give you an eel, most not
- collect the eels on the sand - some eels
- fight groups of crabs which are fighting themselfs for one eel - most eelsYou need a little bit of patience.

Description
The cloudrooks cannot possibly circle forever, and I cannot bear more of them being lost. But maybe they'd roost if we tempted them with their favorite food? The eels that swim in these waters carry a small electrical charge not unlike the mosswool favored by their faster, stronger cousins the stormrooks. I once reasoned that cloudrooks might enjoy the eels for similar reasons. And I confess... I've been feeding them the eels ever since. Gather some up and give it a go.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cloudrook Down
You see that flock in the distance? Wild cloudrooks. They've lived on these islands peacefully for ages. But recent events have stirred other elementals from the earth and sea. One of the cloudrooks was attacked, and it was... disincorporated. Now the flock circles endlessly.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cloud Fishing
Now that we have the eels, we can try to lure the cloudrooks back to land. Head over to the neighboring island. Get as close as you can and make an offering to the rooks. With luck, they'll cease their circling and come down for a nourishing meal.
