why has everyone neglected to mention that opening a trap may spawn a vicious lobsterman who is after your soul?

Gather shellfish from underwater shellfish traps. For every 5 shellfish you return, you get 50 copper (!) and a bloodbelly fish. Bloodbelly fish are a tasty treat (1392 health) and are needed for the Catch of the Day quest.

The traps can be found in deep water of the docks in shadowprey village. When you open some of the traps a lvl 34 Drysnap Crawler appears instead.

As of the time of this writing, the NPC for this quest is a little screwed up, doesn't have the usual exclamation/question marks. But if you bring him the shellfish, he will give you the fish you seek.

It's there, there are 4 trap spawns that I've found, they seem to respawn fairly quickly, they are arranged in an arc around the end of the dock.

The traps are at

(19,77)
(22,75)
(23,77)
(24,77)

With a fairly fast spawn.

I needed 20g to pay a friend back after borrowing it. I used to go to shadow prey a lot and collect tons of shellfish and collect the 55s reward over and over. I got 80 shellfish today and couldn't carry anymore because of my over-crowded inventory....so I headed back to the dock to cash in. THE GUY DOESN'T PAY YOU 55s ANYMORE! All that work for nothing but a bunch of stinking bloodbelly fish. THANKS BLIZZARD!

Hunters proceed as follows

Aspect of the cheetah(yes it works in the water)

Swim to cage and set a freezing trap

Open cage

If empty the crab bastard is frozen if somthin is there then u only wasted like 50 mana

Loot and go to the next cage

I thought this was the dumbest quest in the world until i realized aspect worked in water =P after i tryed speed looting and got attacked twice i decided to take a different approach bingo nothing but shellfish and boots and sandals for some reason

The key is for us speed demons who dont care what they loot to NOT Shift-loot or is it Control.....either way dont hold....w/e button while opening just open it and loot with patience.

This quest is actually really simple and easy.&nbsp Took me between five and ten minutes as a Lvl 34 Shadow Priest.&nbsp I just used Psychic Scream on the fish that came when the cages were empty and then moved on to the next cage.&nbsp There are bubbly fissures strategically placed so that you can stay under the whole time.

I mentioned this in the Bloodbelly Fish quest, but the traps are often camped. The traps have a chance of dropping a Big Iron Fishing Pole, which sells for a fair bit on the AH. Mentally lazy players usually camp the traps in hopes of getting a few poles to sell.

For some odd reason I can't accept this quest. The continue button is grayed out. :( Do you check the traps first?

I am not sure this quest still gives the 55s reward. I know there were alot of bots farming this quest on my server. Blizzard may have changed it. I made up to 9gpr doing this quest in the mid 30s. I walked by it today, and checked to see what the reward was, and all it listed was the 5 fish, not the 55s.

At lvl 33 this is the best quest to get some quick gold when you arent out questing. Especially as a warlock, just throw on Unending Breath... As for the empty traps, the mobs provide decent xp and you still get loot.

Who was that @&! who said "this quest is waste of time"? And "most of the cages are empty"? -.- LOOL. most of the cages drop 2-3 fish, rarely they dont drop anything (in this case a crab attacks you, but they are not too strong) and sometimes they drop green fishing poles, or gray armors that you can sell for 40-50 silver. Quest reward is 55s and a good fish that restores much health, and you can sell 1 fish for 62 copper. QUEST IS REPEATABLE! IF YOU WANT TO GET 20 GOLD IN AN HOUR, DO THIS QUEST!

Some posters are saying you get 55 silver for the 5 shellfish, others are saying 50 copper.

Which is it, please?

Do you get 55 silver the first time you turn in 5 (for the quest that gets you the bloodbelly fish) and 50 copper for each five after that or is it 55 silver everytime or 50 copper everytime?

I'm trying to get myself one of those +20 fishing poles, since the Sunday Fishing Contest (where you get the +35 one) is always swamped by bored lvl 70s (and their epic steeds and memorized fishing locations) with nothing better to do (evidently).

This quest was a little annoying, for awhile I kept having empty traps. Also it pays to be Undead in this quest, as the extra Underwater Breathing helps a lot. There are fissures that I think give off air bubbles so you can stay underwater longer.

The inside is...after maybe an hour mayber an hour and a half, the chances of walking away with the 15g AH, Big Iron Fishing Pole, are pretty good. Shellfish are garbage.

This quest is great, every 5 shellfish you can turn in for 55s, and a fish. Having a Azure Silk Belt, a lvl 30 green cloth belt helps because it increases your swim speed by 15%.

There are more like 10 or 15 traps around the end of the dock. Look in the valleys to the southwest of the dock, and south of the dock. The drop rate on the Big Iron Fishing pole makes it not worth farming for. According to some estimates on wowhead and other sites, it's roughly .2% or something silly. I spent about 5 hours over 2 days looking for the pole and couldn't find one.

The quest has existed for along time, the amount of money however has increased recently with the 2.0.1 patch, however I could be wrong. Horde who want to farm these may wish to invest in a Azure silk belt(15% increase swim speed), and Elixir of Greater Water Breathing, unless you're a warlock or shaman.

Clearing 1.75(10mins)-8g/hr is not impossible. However the randomness of spawns, getting greys or mobs can put a dent in your money making. This is an excellent place to earn your mount money.
