I had similar difficulties, but it only seemed to stop registering my catches after I started the world quest to catch lively mossgill perch. Switching to another character fixed the problem.
Iāve tried on 2 different toons 1 in dra and 1 on B.I. and nothing. Last night I logged in to check it and my AJ is missing from all but 1 toon
Thanks to a tip from another player, I was able to finish the Broken Isles achievement by fishing in open water off the dock areas in Suramar. I also finished the Draenor achievement after unlocking the first step of the Fishing Shack in the Garrison.
Thatās a good idea. I was able to do Broken Isles today without any issue but Draenor has given no credit no matter where but I havenāt unlocked the fishing hole in the garrison so maybe thatāll work.
Yeah, fishing in the garrison without doing the short quest chain to unlock the Fishing Shack yielded no fish, but I was able to complete the achievement after doing the quests.
It worked! Iām getting credit now and I can fish in the garrison so I donāt have to fly around.
Not working in Broken isles but worked at garrison today.
I have mine unlocked on multipe toons and it didnāt work. But that was early today Iāll try again in a bit
Itās working now in Dran but still not in B.I.
I got credit in Draenor, but no credit anywhere in broken isles. Itās still a problem.
Iām so frustrated! I was ready to knock these two fishing things out! Uuuuugh! Not working for me in the Broken Isles. I will try the Garrison thing though. See if that works.
I was able to get fishing to count in draenor if you fish in your garrison
I had no issue with the quests when I used toons that were in the respective Chromie time.
Nighthold in Suramar, stand inside the large fountainā¦ after flying around trying various spots I found this one to work. Also in Draenor unlock Garrison fishing and fish in there. both of these worked at 3am mountain time 07/14/23
Draenor wasnāt working for me (Jul 14) but then I did 2 things:
- I got my shack lvl 1 and did the daily
- bought a fishing rod and equipped it in my Fishing Journal
Not sure which one fixed it for me, but Iād say it was the daily quest because it gave me a +1 to fishing and might have kicked the counting process into gear.
GL all, hope it helps
edit: turns out itās only counting in my Fort fishing pond, so it might be that.
Draenor worked for me. Specifically in your Garrison, behind the fishing hut. I completed it last night.
I was able to finish this today at Margossās Retreat in Dalaran. Although I tried this a few days ago and it didnāt work, it does now. Perhaps they have fixed it.
Although the Big Fountain Goldfish did not count for the quest, the Silver Mackerel did.
Draenor fishing I was able to fish in my Garrison and that worked for me, Legion I am still trying to figure out, some have said in the class hall,but I am a fire mage and we canāt there. Good luck!
I discovered today (7/15/23) that you must fish in your Garrison in Draenor at Margossās Retreat in Dalaran to get credit for these trading post items. I hope this helps!
It was working for me on my Legion timewalking campaign character. I made a new warlock (because of course I did) and had them level through Legion and got credit fishing in Highmountain.
I can confirm that Margossā Retreat works for this. The Big Fountain Goldfish does not count towards it nor does the Drowned Mana so if you fish those up and donāt get credit, it is working correctly.
