So, Iāve been fishing off my furry behind and no matter if I was fising normal waters, or Prismatic Leaper Pools or āDeepā Ice holes or āOverheatedā Magma Thresher Pools ( or those regular variants) after - safe to say -thousand casts, not managed to fish up any Draconium Nugget, Irontree Branch, Strong Seavine or anything 
Iām curious, it is just my usual horrible luck or these things have an abysmall drop rate?
What were your experiences with these?
Yes. Too low droprate. Too few places to get them with reliability.
I did have it technically the easy way. Instead of trying to get them, I farmed mats for leveling cooking and mostly to farm the coins. If wowhead is to be trusted, trying to get these things anywhere, except these very few pools, is pointless. Outside of them the droprate is nonexistent.
I got 5-7 of each of the materials except the draconium nuggets and battered nets by the time I did get them. Therefore, once I got those, the rest I didnāt have to farm.
Iām also still farming the coins. Also the bottles, which have nonexistent droprate too and as far as I know, cooking recipes come from them, except the one you get from quest and the ones you can discover through it.
I have farmed nearly a gold coin at this point and I have only found a single bottle. The tuskarr crafting materials arenāt that bad in comparison and they are bad.
Agree - those basic gear requires legendary farming. Too annoying and insane.
Coin drop rate also sucks - so far only got 9 copper coins.
Only the lava fishing gave me any but sadly the pools are somewhat scarce and the light off the lava gives me a headache after a short while too.
Iāve picked up 2 recipe in a bottle so far, First was from a treasure pool in Ohnāaran Plains (sp?) and the other was from an Islefin Dorado pool. Only had 1 Irontree Branch so far but Iām not really going all out on the fishing atm, just cherry-picking the above pools when I find them (which is not often).
Suspected something like this 
Sure, having everything in the first month is not good, but a bit higher % would be nice
Well, lets keep fishing
I had x9 of each in 1 day u just need to get good.
The drop rates are sure low but not to the point of āno luck in a thousand throwsā low. Although, yeah, it is probably an expansion long farm, because after the first green upgrade for three measley pieces you will open up the next one for now six reagents of the very same type plus one new super rare reagent that you can fish only through nets. I expect it to be even worse after that.
Drops improve a lot with perception: there is perception in the new fishing pole, there is a phial of perception from alchemy that you can only obtain from craft orders and there is also an enchant to increase perception.
Yet its still very low. Its mount percentile chance drop.
I gave up on this. I am not going to spend 6 hours fishing for these things on specific spots on multiple characters, and you need like 9 total.
Perception doesnt make the drop chance higher then 1%
I fished up more silver and gold coins than these anoying materials
Well thats a hyperbole, and of course lunker hunting, but still
On the other hand, fished up quite a nice number of draconic recipes, so things even themselves out
Just found it strange those green materilas are so rare
Not in a hurry thoā, have plenty of time
In the beginning, at the time Iāve made my previous post here in this thread, I, too, thought it was a hard grind. But now, after casually fishing on a two weeks span while waiting for my queues here and there, I only lack but two single pieces of one last net ingredient before I will be able to upgrade everything there is. Iāve also started giving extra ingredients out in those little tuskarr weekly quests for 250 reputation, because Iāve got too many of some of them.
I feel like acquiring blue rod with a good enchant on it did help a lot.
So far Ive gotten 1 piece of fishing gearā¦on an alt with a skill level of 1!!
My main (who has done a ton of fishing) hasnt seen a single piece.
The drop rates do make it feel more like Im trying to get some sort of legendary item!
But fishing was always like this. Have you done your Legion artifact? Hyper-compressed toy in BFA? Fished out extra rare mounts in previous expansions? It always was a spare time grind for those who can afford it. At the end of which you never got anything but some activity related toys, mounts orā¦ slightly easier fishing for this one expansion alone.
If you are on a tight life schedule but still want those upgrades for completionist reasons, I would advice trying your hand at lava pools. Drop rates of ingredients here are much higher but you will have to pay attention: aiming your rod, fending off respawning toads, jumping over lava and changing positions after four or five throws.
But if you are not, and you have time, just go on the ice. Nothing interrupts you there, you donāt need to aim and can throw even with your back to the crack, and you need one single button for both throwing and collection ā your new DF interact button. You also will get blue fish with a demand on AH to sell later. It is so lazy and efficient, itās astounding.
Thats an artifactā¦
This is for a net upgrade that you have to placeā¦ This isnt for mounts, and this isnt for special looks.
They were very rare, but just today Iāve had multiples drop for me.
Soooo dunno what changed. Could simply be RNG.
Then fishing is not for you, I guess. But Blizzardās rules in that regard never changed. Only SL just skipped fishing altogether.
Also, artifact rod was a big thing in Legion and, before DF changes, it had some tricky usage in PvP when you were the flag carrier in Twin Peaks, but thatās it, really. I already was stacked on suits, MoP toys and mount equipment to cover its any other possible benefit, and in terms of actual fishing efficiency, it was plain useless anywhere else but Broken Isles. A shame, surely, but this was WoW fishing since always.
Yes, and that fishing rod litterally did other stuff thenā¦ And what makes you think that item which was locked behind a achievement should resemble this?
placing a net that lowers the time to 6 hours
Itās a pity that they didnāt rework fishing and cooking like they did with other professions, though. Nets and harpoons do sure feel lackluster in comparison to literally everything else we have in DF now.
Meh, WHereās Archeology too? Last time was legion or whhat not.
No archeology here either.
Archeology had some nice stuff behind it too.
