The Icepick Challenge

[Maeka]

Can someone tell me how you are supposed to do this stupid quest!?

Seriously.

They stick your quest fish in a pool where there's a bunch of other crap that bites on your bait (why they have Lv35 fish that are constantly wasting your time is beyond me).

I've tried both the Stonefly Nymphs and the Larva, the former seems slightly better at catching the stupid Icepicks, but yet no matter which bait I use, there's 30+ catches I might see ONE Icepick.

This means that using Patience isn't going to work, 90% chance the 3 fish I can catch during it aren't going to be Icepicks anyways.

And of course, just catching the fish normally, I can HQ every-freaking-thing else, probably caught like 15 HQ Ice Faeries and 5 HQ Sorcerer Fish, but only ONE Icepick.

One.

And of course the quest won't stop at one, oh no. They want THREE.

I'm probably going to be Lv60 before this stupid quest is done.

Are all the HW Fisher Quests this retardedly stupid or something?

EDIT: .........aaaaaaand now I can't fish there anymore, despite releasing every single fish I caught. *sigh*
