Hallowfall Fishing Derby

In general, you only get ONE CHANCE at this quest per week per character and you have an exact 1 hour time window to complete this quest. Disbanding and picking it back up does not work. The quest has a 1 hour time indicator and you get a buff called [spell=456024].

For each unique fish out of the 20 available you catch out of the while this buff is up you gain 1x [currency=3055], and if you caught all 20 (in 1 week or spanning over multiple weeks) you get the achievement The Derby Dash and the mount [item=223286]. For completing the quest you gain 10x [currency=3055] and you can choose between 2x [item=224752]/2x [item=225770]/2x [item=225771].

For this week (other weeks below):

• 
  
• Dilly-Dally Dace - [object=451670]
  
  • All over Khaz Algar
• 
  
• Dornish Pike - [object=451670]
  
  • All over Khaz Algar
  • 
    
  • Get [item=219004] beforehand
• 
  
• Kaheti Slum Shark - [object=451678] / [object=451681]
• 
  
  • Hallowfall / Azj-Kahet
  
  

General tips and notes:

I recommend going for Kaheti Slum Shark first. You're most likely to get a Kaheti Slum Shark from a [object=451678] with high enough fishing and perception (say around 225+ / 200+ respectively). [object=451678] is a highly contended pool which can only be found from Inland Rivers in Hallowfall. You could chance your luck and fly out to Azj-Kahet in search for [object=451681], but they have a really low spawn rate in my experience. You're better off server hopping to keep searching for [object=451678].

For the other two fishes I recommend flying to Isle of Dorne, while they can technically be fished from open waters, you're most likely to find them in pools. Dilly-Dally Dace drops from an assortment of pools, but you're most likely to find it from a [object=451670], whilst still a bit rare. Do be on the lookout for [object=451677] though as it has a higher chance to be fished up from those!

Dornish Pike is only found from [object=451670] although a bit rare especially at lower fishing levels. I would recommend purchasing a [item=219004] beforehand to guarantee you'll get it.

I can confirm that the autocompletion "bug" for alts still works. I completed the quest today, December 7 2024, on 26 characters (70+) in less than one hour. That gave me approximately 261 [currency=3055] and 52 [item=224752]. (I am already at 100/100 with my threads.)

Here's my method:

• 
  
• I parked all my alts at the nearby platform at /way 43.00, 58.93, mounted and ready to go.
  
• 
  

(Based on another comment I saw earlier, I made sure to log in on all my characters before I started, apparently you need to in order for the autocompletion to work.
Also, I had to make sure that the "find fish" ability was on, for some reason this has a tendency to uncheck by itself on some of my characters.)

• 
  
• I finished the quest as quickly as I could with my engineering mage, HS set at Mereldar. The combination of a mage portal, wormhole generator and HS saved me some time.
• 
  
• Then I logged in on my next character, flew a few seconds, took the quest, found the nearest pool, through it in, and the quest was automatically completed on my first successful cast. (You need to get a real fish, doesn't work with grey items.)
• 
  
• Handed it in, flew back to the platform for a quick logout, rinse and repeat. When I was finished I had approximately 20 min left of my mage's buff, so I could easily have done it with many more alts, if I would have had more.

Happy fishing!
