Iron Lake Spear Fishing

So I go to Iron Lake to get my spear fishing achievment however there are only 2 nodes in the whole area and no schools of fish anywhere nearby I could fish from to reset the counter the nearest grade 5 school of fish is where Bald Knoll is.

/fix it please

Also Iron Lake also only has 2 Quarrying nodes as well

Step 1: Spearfish spot A
Step 2: Fish in Iron Lake
Step 3: Cancel & put away rod. (You don't even have to fish once)
Step 4: Spearfish spot B
Step 5: Repeat steps 2-3
Go back to top. Rinse & Repeat

i'll try it ^^

wrong


humblehearth has 2 nodes(the 3rd is bugged so you cant count it)


mining at iron lake has 2, at skull valley 1, at bloodshore 1
botony at skull valley has 2


its an issue they do need to address in multiple areas

Not sure why there are only 2 nodes but you can use that trick for any location. Sometimes there are 2 nodes close and a 3rd kinda far away in which case it could be faster to just do the 2.

Not sure what you mean by bugged? If you are referring to the 2 nodes in the same stream, they are not bugged as I got my spearfishing achievement there without ever leaving that stream. Just went back and forth between the 2 with 1 fish in between each time.

wierd, when i was there, exausting 1 of them automaticaly exausted the other 1 too so you couldnt continue on them

wow thanks !!! not ever thought of that trick

I stand corrected and that node then fish thing stopped working it only fixed itseld when i went all the way to the grade 5 schools of fish near the great buffalo then all the way back to hit the spear fishing nodes again .... and that seems to be the only way i have seen

I just got about halfway through this achievement and suddenly this method has stopped working. I can't figure for the life of me why, what a pain

yeah, i'm the same way. it seems to work for 2 full passes and then they don't replenish for a 3rd pass through them. i'm lucky that i need all 3 there so i am just doing 2 spear 1 fish/ the 3 harvesting/ 2 quarry 1 mine. it's been working that way for a few hours now.

Can we have a DEV response on this matter please

Finally decided to log into forums, and you get my first post. I feel the need to point out that the OP is talking about Iron Lake, and at the end of the post mentions the GB spawn. GB is Bald Knoll. Anyway, I have also noticed that secondary nodes don't always refresh after a hit to a primary gathering node. Would be great if this was fixed.

When you "fish", is it always from the same location? Or do you also alternate the south and east edges of the lake?

That might fix the issue, it's worth testing.

Tried it all the best way would be for the Devs to add another node for spearfishing and quarrying to iron lake it couldnt be that hard could it?

What you can do is pick up the Iron Lake fishing leves and

1 - Spearfish A
2 - Spearfish B
3 - Start x3 item Leve - Fish in School
4 - Spearfish A <- you may have to start/cancel another fish to trigger
5 - Spearfish B
6 - Start x2 school Leve - Fish in School 1
7 - Spearfish A
8 - Spearfish B
9 - Fish in School 2 - complete leve
10 - Spearfish A
11 - Spearfish B
12 - Go to town & re-pick up leves
13 - Go back to Iron Lake and start from 3 (if you exit the city and spearfish the grade 1 node nearby you can start from 1)

Also - you don't have to run all the way to bald knoll to fish at a grade 5 school. Completing any type of fishing node of any grade will refresh your ability to spearfish those 2, so you could set hp and run to Bloodshore and return.

And all the other location where there are only 2 offhand nodes are not that much of an issue as there are Primary nodes in the area you can refresh. Only in Grade 5 LL are the primary and secondary in separate locations.

You should not have to do all that most other locations have 3 and the ones that dont well nodes or schools are nearby for your convenient use

No, they don't. Coerthas level 5 has two nodes. Black Shroud level 4 has two nodes. And the other DoL offhands are the same. La Noscea level 2 quarrying has only ONE node.

Coerthas does not have a gathering achievement for either main or off hand so as far as im concerned it ain't relevant Black Shroud has 3 look harder next time http://www.disciplesoftheland.com/Maps.aspx there is the link i sugest you use it in advance next time La Noscea grade 2 indeed only has 1 i stand corrected in that regard however you do not need 500 grade 2 harvests and it will be easy to get by getting mining points.

Oh and as for people saying that Gridania Grade 4 is bugged due to 2 nodes being close together or for whatever reason i did it no problem

Bump for prosperity

I have since completed the 500 gathers however this is still an issue that the devs should look at

I came in to bump this a little bit and reiterate the fact that you currently cannot continuously hit Grade-5 spearfishing points in La Noscea without wasting your leves to supply you with schools of fish to reset your count with or running/teleporting all the way out to Bloodshore just to hit a 3rd point.

I think it's the only existing troublesome area at all for gathering because, while Miners don't always have access to 3 individual quarrying points of the same grade (bloodshore/skull valley/iron lake, for example), they do have their main-hand mining points in the same area to reset the count if need be. The mistake here might have been placing La Noscea's Grade-5 schools of fish down at Bald Knoll while every Grade-5 spearfishing/mining/harvesting/logging/quarrying point in the region was actually up at Iron Lake.

This is definitely an existing problem and oversight and makes the "Getting Giggy with It: La Noscea V" achievement a massive chore to obtain.

Please either move the Grade-5 schools of fish from Bald Knoll up to Iron Lake or plop in a 3rd spearfishing point in the area!

Yeah all the other spearfishing/harvesting/quarrying grades I've been to have 3 nodes, allowing us to complete the cycle and respawn the used nodes for us. Iron Lake spearfishing has been bugging me since I first got there. Looking forward for the fix on this, as well as other secondary gathering grades that share the same problem.

This is a silly issue. Please place a third spearfishing node or a complimentary school of fish node to help complete the cycle at Iron Lake! I should not be having to travel all the way out to Bald Knoll or Bloodshore to complete a cycle of nodes. That is a needless time waster on top of a fun time waster.

Update: I discovered that I could use a Skull Valley spearfish node to reset the Node Cycle. Skull Valley is alot closer than Bald Knoll or Bloodshore is, but it is still out of the way. Hope this helps you out!

all you need is to not miss a step.

1. spearfish west node
2. fish pond, cancel without trying to fish.
3. spearfish east node
4. fish pond, cancel without trying to fish.
5. Repeat 1-4

I tried this and it does not work unless I have a leve activated.

It does. Just make sure you don't screw up the pattern, or else you'll have to gather elsewhere to reset the nodes.
