I vote this thread gets taken down so no one else can learn what I just read.

/The Fishining confirmed.

I know right, the information about how to find a Shavronne's Wrappings, seems to good to be true. Might need to stem the flow of information before it gets out of hand. The market saturation is getting a little too high.

On an unrelated note, I have updated the section for the 1-Month Flashback league, and the Tormented Illegal Fisherman with the findings and experiences from the event. There is also a corresponding reddit post here.

great post, you came to the same conclusion i did. you only must be wearing a fairgraves' tricorne, and kill a unique. that's all you need for a chance at a drop. my (only) fishing rod dropped to Dom Norm when i was doing boss kill runs for ppl.

to do away with science and make a presumption: i haven't found krillson yet, but my guess is to fish all you have to do is have a fishing rod equipped and use a skill that "casts".. guessing a projectile skill is best. clear the zone, aim at the water, put something heavy on whatever key is linked to the skill, and come back later to see if you caught anything... fairgraves' tricorne, rhoa feathers, mao kun... tabula rasa could all be involved somehow. (krillson, and rotfeather tali now too of course.) anything im missing? :P

If you have not read this Reddit thread (and watched the corresponding video), [Video] Krillson Sighting (Tempest), I highly recommend it. The video is a short account of the things the group tested in an attempt to complete the given quest (catch 4 exotic fish). A lot of what you suggest in your post are tried, but after a 3ish hour attempt the group moves on. Beyond what is seen in the video there are a lot of theories and ideas presented in the comments. The third comment, made by PinkLady_AppleBottom/InsidiousOwl, presents some research about lore and items in the game which might be related to the mystery surrounding Krillson. At this point anyone's guess could be the key in how to complete one of Krillson's quests.

So far there are two known quests;

• Catch 4 exotic fish
• Catch Rainbowstride boots

There is completion dialog in the audio files, so there should be a way to complete one of these. One of the recent Darkshrine effects gives more weight to the import of Rainbowstride boots as well. As for the exotic fish there are plenty of guesses involving what items to bring him, or what actions to take when you encounter him if given that quest.

Having never seen Krillson in game, all of this is just speculation.

Has anyone tried to kill Illegal fisherman or unique ghosted by him with fishing rod while wearing fairgraves tricorne or some combination of this?

Yes (illegal fisherman kill while wearing Fairgrave's Tricorne and wielding a rare fishing rod) in Crossroads of Act 2 Cruel during flashback league with my SRS/Zombie witch. Didn't actually strike the ghost down with the rod though - the raging spirits got him.

nice, ill be sure to check it out... love your post btw. its very helpful to know what people have and havent tried (although i obv missed a couple).

one thing you might be interested in though. from the latest QA in announcements with CWilson:

'My question is where is the area/place that "1998 items were hidden in a specific location that no one has publicly noticed yet as far as we know" that Bex_GGG mentioned in 'Darkshrine Event Winners!'?

The map slots that are used to choose a tag for your guild!'

i wrote down a bunch of '4-letter words' (mostly fishing related, some...correlated in other ways) and which maps correspond to each letter to test in the map device. in hc tali i have a tricorne, fishing rod, rot head tali, albino feather. the wildcards being what order to enter the maps(cntrl+click or left to right), what to wear as i test, should i proc the "sound in the distance" each time, and should the maps be quality, rare etc..

(of course it could be entirely unrelated to fishing, and removed from the game after the darkshrine event.)

Also Yes. This reddit post, [Trawling]The 1-Month Flashback lists some of the things I tried during that league(second set of bullet points). There were a lot of Illegal Fishermen out that league, and I tried a number of different combinations. Tricrone, default attack, Rainbowstride, etc.

From the 'Effects' spoiler in the Darkshrine section of the History post in this thread:

• Text: May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.
• Effect: Guild Tag Editor is filled with maps to spell out 'FISH?!'
• Affix: ??

This would fill the guild tag editor filled with the following maps: Spider Lair Map, Grotto Map, Sewer Map, Channel Map, Arid Lake Map, and Gorge Map.

If you can figure out anything more about the "you hear a sound in the distance," more power to you. As frankly, I have no idea.

Perandus League has the Perandus Tackle, a chest that contains a Fishing Rod, an Albino Rhoa Feather, Fairgraves' Tricorne and Slitherpinch Bronzescale Gauntlets.

Thats one damn fine post, i gotta get myself into this fishing mistery that surrounds poe.

What do we know about fishing from the prophecy league?

Well, there is the new unique fishing rod Reefbane

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Reefbane

It has the property "Glows when in an area with a Unique Fish".

Assume fishing is no joke. How does the he new unique help us?

A unique fish is a fish. Meaning in an area with a glowing Reefbane fishing is possible.
For me it was glowing for example in the "Mud Flats". I looked for something special there, but I found nothing.

So this Forum Post
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/795247/page/1#p6911154
Shows strange exclamation marks in the ocean.

This official Post

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/778705

has a picture with the filename "trust_me_fish_here.jpg". The player is the post is it pointing to the ocean. Both together shows very obviously, that the ocean is a place where fishing is possible.

So the question is not "where to fish" AND "how to fish" anymore. Only the "how to fish" remains.


And for the "how to fish" we have some hints:
Assume that a special combination of items is required. We know:

1. Fishing rod (weappon)
2. Slitherpinch (gloves)
3. Fairgraves' Tricorne (helm) (Here I am not sure if it is required for the fishing itself. Perhaps assuming that is is required for the fishing process is the mistake?)
4. Rot Head Talisman (amulet)

If only a special item combination is required for fishing, what else do we know?
Assume fishing was possible from the moment on, the fishing rod in it's current version was released. But when was it? Here is an official post about fishing:

This official Video (first post) shows a fishing rod

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/745469/page/1.

So we know a fishing rod existed for sure in version 1.0.5. (perhaps earlier)
What about the items connected to fishing?

Look here:

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Timeline_of_unique_items

The Fairgraves helm is from Version 0.9.6 February 7, 2012, the Slitherpinch is from Version 0.9.6February 7, 2012 too.

I think the combination will be created with items released before Version 1.0.5

What about the "Rot Head Talisman". Well it is of course from the talisman league. But if it is the only one amulet which enables fishing only player which have one can fish. But why should GGG drop so many Reefbane in the current league? I think they want to give more player the chance to find out how to fish. It would make no sense if a Rot Head Talisman is required. I think the talisman was just placed in the game to help us. Without it you need to find the combination of missing:

- Amulet
- belt
- chest
- ring 1
- ring 2
- boots

With Rot Head Talisman you "just" need to find the combination of

- belt
- chest
- ring 1
- ring 2
- boots

So the talisman just reduces the possible amount of item combinations. But there should be an other unique amulet which works too.

It is still a very huge amount of combinations possible if you select belt, chest, ring 1, ring 2 and boots from items released before 1.0.5. (Only unique items from 0.9.6 does not work, because you don't get a full unique items set for all item slots with it)

If you find out more, based on my post, please be fair and tell me and the original inventor of this forum thread about it.
