I'm seeing a lot of people complain about a pretty unremarkable quest because they seem to have the wrong on idea on how you do it.


  1. You do NOT need to use conches to summon a lunker. You can simply fish and spawn one naturally. It took me maybe 10 minutes of fishing to spawn all 3 lunkers I needed for the quest.

  2. You do NOT need to harpoon the lunker, but you DO need Dragonflight Fishing learned to loot the morsels. After it spawns, you can jump into the water and kill it and you will still get the morsel. With such easy access to 385/395 gear, there is honestly no reason you shouldn't be able to kill a lunker before it gets away. Even as a healer or tank.

  3. If there is someone else there, join a group with them! Even if one of you doesn't manage to tag the lunker by the time the other jumps in and kills it, you will still get the morsel! If you're not in a group with someone, just use an instant attack on it. There's no reason to attempt to harpoon them. You get nothing out of it, and it honestly takes longer than just jumping in and killing it.

It's not an amazing quest but it's also not annoying. It just simply exists.

Description

Say, have you noticed how good the fishing is around here? Dragonskull Island seems like it would have some great spots. Why don't you go there and catch something for dinner? Be mindful, though. We still need to set some of our catch aside for later.
