Oily Blackmouth, Best Place to Fish?
Orion Ryder
remembered the name right but it's that one for making the reagent for
Underwater Breathing Potion.

For Horde I usually go to Zoram'Gar (in Ashenvale). For Alliance I'd
have to say Menethil Harbor (Wetlands)
I'm pretty sure Hilsbrad is good too for both factions.

check any length of coast... you'll find them in schools.

My favourite spot is Menethil Harbour, as I often wait there coming from IF
waiting for a boat. There are Oily Blackmout schoools close to the harbour,
too. You should also be able to find more of those schools outside Menethil.
There probably is a place like this on Kalimdor as well, but I am not
familiar enough with it.

Depends on where you are.
One can occasionally find single schools of these along the coast of
Westfall.
Another good place to fish is in Southshore, in the Hillsbrad Foothills.
The village harbour has 3 spawn spots which will either have Oily
Blackmouth, Firefin Snapper or Floating Wreackage. There's a 4th spawn
spot at the mouth of the river, but it is guarded by creaturs of around
lvl 30. I have also only ever seen this 4th spawn spot spawn Firefin
Snappers.
If you follow the river north, you'll find lots of schools of Sagefish
Delight, but unless you're at least 20th level, doing so is unsafe.
Fishing from the harbour is safer, though.
You can also swim south from Westfall. It's a long trip, but eventually
you'll get to a neutral (yellow) Goblin harbour town. There may be a
single spawn spot on the right hand side of the pier (that side you
stand on if you wish to debark from or board a ship).
The best part about this town, though, is that you can take the ship to
Ratchett, which is on the Western continent (Kalimdor?). The Ratchett
harbour has at least 3 spawn spots, which contain Oily Blackmouth or
Floating Wreckage.
Mind you, spawn spots are sometimes empty. Some weeks ago I fished a lot
in Southshore, and the harbour spawn spots always held something, which
I found a bit silly. Now, they're often empty... Perhaps the patch
changed this.
Each school will give you several fish. Sometimes only 2 or 3, sometimes
5 or more.

It's a big harbour, though, and it is easy to overlook a school.
As for the coast, yes there are further schools north of the town, but
that area may be dangerous for Ryder's character, unless he's at least
level 22-23'ish.
Same goes for Hillsbrad Foothills. There are schools of Blackmouth and
Snappers to the east of the village, but they are heavily guarded by
level 30'ish monsters. There are probably also schools to the west of
the village.
If one swims far to the east of Southshore village, one comes to a small
bay with neutral (yellow) NPCs, and (at least) two spawn points. But
I've only seen them spawn Firefin Snappers. Also, the NPCs don't seem
interesting at all. No quests, no vendors, no nothing.

Ratchett is good. There are only 3 spawn points, I believe, but it's a
very small harbour so there's no risk of overlooking them.

It's in the zone east of the zone Southshore is in. That zone is almost
directly north of the Wetlands.
But if you can't find it with those directions, I'll probably return to
this thread in 1-2 days and post the name of the location.

I've never had any use for Fire Oil yet, for any of my characters
(highest are lvl 29 and 28, though), and attempts to sell Fire Oil (or
Blackmouth Oil) in the AH have resulted in expiration unless the buyout
is set very low. The same goes for the "raw" fish.
I do actually use a bit of Blackmouth Oil (to dive for pearls and
Stranglekelp), but the OPs need for it clearly exceeds my need by a vast
degree.

9G for 20? I wish it was like that in my server. I could use the profit.

That sounds like the pirate ship with a bunch of Booty Bay people at it?
There are a few quests there, around lvl 40ish, so perhaps you're going
with a character too low or too high to see the !'s?

There is a pirate ship, and you may be correct that the pirates are

Speaking of Faldir's Cove, would people agree that this is perhaps the
most-obscure, yet easily-accessible (no complicated prequisite quest
needed) quest source in the game? What I mean is that anyone can go
there and get quests, but by all accounts most people have to be told
about it. I certainly had never heard of it in a year's playing until
recently here.

The quests in Faldir's Cove are unlocked with sufficient Booty Bay
rep. I believe friendly or better is enough to be able to talk to the
quest givers. The quests are worth doing because they cover a
relatively small geographic area right there and the final quest
"battle" is a LOT of fun. All hands on deck!

No rep required I think, my hunter was neutral when I got there last night,
only hit friendly when I handed one in, I think the one for protecting the
gnome against the water elementals, and I'd already picked up all the
others.
That might've been changed recently of course but there certainly didn't
seem to be any rep requirements for me.

That would be Darkshore, the elf 10-20 area. Lots of oilies, and not a lot
of people questing there, so there's little competition. The western
Kalimdor shoreline increments as it moves south, with Ashenvale (Zoram
Strand) for 20-30, Desolace for 30-40, and Faralas for 40-50.

When I did the Thandol span quests (where you need to get the dwarf in the
pillar of the bridge) I was too stupid to realise there was a stair leading
down into the bridge. I tried to get down by jumping and turning. I fell
into the sea of course and decided to swim west. This brought me to Faldir's
cove. Much too early to accept any of the quests, though... Never been back.

This AM while walking in Auberdine I unexpectedly noticed my cursor on
a little school of oil blackmouths.
So I pulled out Gubber Blump's fishing pole and proceeded to net me a
pair.
But then the scool disappeared.
And here I was thinking that now I knew the exact location to go to get
htese things in Auberdine.
So apparently the schools wander and respawn in different ares around
there.
Anyway it sure is nice to have that first Underwater Breathing Potion.
Thanks for all the help people.

Schools are random spawns and disappear after you caught a random number of
items (fish, chests, stranglekelp, ...) from them. They tend to respawn in
the same places, so taking note of the location still pays off, at least you
know where to check for a spwan.

two's a small number to get from a school... i have had up to 7 items
from one (5 fish, 2 items).
one thing to note... you'll notice that the school is made from two
parts. there's an outer ring and the centre. if your bobber lands in
the centre, you are more than likely to catch what is supposed to be
in the school. if you land in the outer ring, chances are you will
catch something else.
tight lines! :)

I saw a priest take a novel approach to that quest: Mind control the dwarf
and send him jumping off the bridge. By the time he gets back, you're long
gone.

My warlock had gone there with a friend long, long ago - he could get
the quests while I could not. The quests simply did not exist to me
though we were similar levels (if anything I was probably higher than
him). Recently my hunter passed through and got the quests straight
away, and, possessing a sterling reputation with the goblins, I
thought I might have finally hit upon the reason I could not do the
quests previously. So I'm puzzled what kept me from doing those
quests so long ago...

All over the dang place. Menthil and Southshore have huge numbers of this
fish, and schools with mostly blackmouth in them. *

Probably. It's just not in a spot you're likely to get too except by
accident - you either have to swim for a very long time, or obsessively
prowl around the walls of Stromgarde castle. *

Yep, I never even knew it existed for a long time - it is visible on one
flightpath (I think the Horde one from UC to Kargath?) as I've flown past
it a few times but unless you happen to take that particular flightpath
you'd be unlikely to ever find it. And even if you do take that flightpath
you still have to be looking around you and paying attention, and then be
curious enough to wonder if there's anything interesting at the random boat
you can see in the cove.

Hehe, I'll take the latter label then. :) It's always nice (but
rare) to go "the back way" and be rewarded with a discovery.

That's a nice place, yeah - only visited it on my undead priest though,
which meant I couldn't get too close to the dwarves as they were hostile to
me and I didn't want to have to kill them ;-)

Yeah they were that to me too but I figured they'd probably still aggro if
I got too close ;-) Never actually tested whether civilians aggro if you
stand on top of them, perhaps they don't after all.

I didn't didn't touch the dwarves, but slaughtered their livestock and
marched into their home, sat at their table, and ate their food. And
sleepy head there in the room with me just kept dreaming.
