The New Fishing Tiny Carp Pets

[Quintessence]

Check out El's guide to fishing up the Tiny Carps. There's also information on the minimum fishing skill required for "no junk" catches in certain areas.

and where to found the fishing lvl need by zone to avoid the junk ?

Quick recap for open water fishing:

• 650 - Jade Forest
  625 - Dread Wastes, Townlong Steppes (Sha-Touched waters), Kun-Lai Summit (Sha-Touched waters)
  700 - Valley of the Four Winds, Krasarang Wilds, all coastal areas
  725 - Townlong Steppes
  750 - Kun-Lai Summit, The Veiled Stair
  825 - Vale of Eternal Blossoms

El can straighten any errors. :p

Also, there is no skill requirement for fishing from pools.

How does one get 825 fishing? I have 600 skill, a +30 pole, a +5 hat, and a +150 lure = 785. I don't see how I can get another 40.

Glove enchant +5
Eternium Fishing Line +5
Captain Rumsey's Lager +10
Boots +5
Tuskarr Spear +15
Total: 40

However, lager lasts only 3 mins and the spear has 3 min cd between next use. Not to mention few of those items are hard to get but 825 is obtainable - just not very solid.

E: But 790 is easy to get which is more than enough for Vale to be honest. If I remember right, the 35 difference means only 4% more Golden Carps. I can live that since 4% from 5k is only 200 fishes. :P

Just want to reiterate that it's not absolutely necessary to reach the "no junk" skill level for open water fishing. It's entirely possible to catch the new pets without it. I was no where near 825 fishing, yet I managed to fish up one of the carps from open water in the Vale.

Higher fishing can't hurt, but it's not vital to catching these pets. Like El said, "if you think that wearing your Lucky Fishing Hat makes you luckier, then wear it!"
