    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

    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.

    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
