Something has happened with fishing and the tackle boxes. I have my fishing skill up to 135 with gear and other buffs and my perception is up to 190 and yet it is near impossible to catch Coins of the Isles or Draconic Recipes in a Bottle. Ominous Conch are also not dropping anymore. And I’m catching a ton of gray junk. With the tackle boxes, they drop almost nothing but junk now. Very little fish. And they as well have stopped dropping Ominous Conch. This is extremely frustrating. Please look into this asap. Thank you.

I’ve been trying to catch Ominous Conch all day today. I think I got one, maybe? I’ve caught a few coins, gotten a couple in tackleboxes, got a conch in a tacklebox that didn’t go into my bags. The one of the extra net quests calls for 5 conchs per day, and I’ve got a quest in the reaches that will use 15 if I’m out there alone and don’t get lucky on one of the drops.
I’ve also been trying to figure out what the 125% drop rate for conch at fishing hole is even for, like what method of fishing.
Edit: I did get one draconic recipe in a bottle from fishing just now.

Any progress on the Ominous Conchs? There are quests that require us to have them and use them. I just used the last of mine to get the tag ninja’d because a horde damaged the lunker instead of harpooning it.
I have managed to get maybe 2 conchs in my bags, but that’s after a TON of fishing. I really hope that with the next patch something gets fix.
I finally opened the ability to farm the fishing tackle and much to my surprise, my alt, which is not that high on rep is, in fact able to see and loot the tackle. Only problem is when I went back the next day there were no boxes to be found. Literally nothing in the area I had farmed the day before. Walking shores north east to be more precise. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a one time loot and gone for good? I actually don’t mind the trash, some of the trash was between 200 and 600 gold. Did blizzard change it to one time loot? I see some older comments about a 10 or 60 minute spawn time. I’m just wondering if blizzard changed it or if I’m bugged. Also, couldn’t turn on wq fishing frenzy in waking shores. Shows complete. Npc is lit with ? For turn in but when I go to click the npc there is no turn in offer. I can’t delete the quest from my daily wq log either.
