The Horde boat is located at (74.6, 9.8) on the Icecrown map or (55.3, 72.0) on the Hrothgar's Landing Map.

The Alliance boat is located at (67.0, 9.1) on the Icecrown map or (42.3, 69.1) on the Hrothgar's Landing Map.

You loot from the buckets on the boat.

You then go into the water and use the . This will make your character glow red and will instantly agro a shark onto you or an Angry Kvaldir.

The shark will drop the . 100% drop rate so far for myself.

The Angry Kvaldir will just attack you, does not give loot.

First time i have done this quest and it took me 5 attempts to get 3 sharks (3 meat).

I suggest looting at least 4 Fresh Chum before attempting, in case you get a dud Angry Kvaldir.

If you don't have coords...here's where they are exactly or approximately on your map. (Alliance is the one on Northwest and Horde is Northeast)

Someone at Blizzard is truly an avid fisherman in real life (as if all the detail they gave to the fishing secondary profession wasn't proof enough).

All three of the sharks summoned for this quest (Blue, Mako, and Thresher) are large, pelagic sport fish that are known to deep sea fishermen the world over. This is sort of fun to post to non fishing bodies who might be interested anyway because, unlike most of WoW's fauna, all the types of animals you encounter on this quest are very real.

Note: None of these sharks would ever be found in cold water like Northrend in real life. The Thresher wanders the farthest north of the three species. Also, a note on the method with which you capture these animals; it is recommended that while chumming (to chum means to place various scoopfuls of fish blood/parts etc in the water to attract predatory fish) for sharks, you do so from the safety of a rather large fishing vessel as WoW's insistence that you "Must be in the water" to chum for sharks would be a rather questionable practice in real life.

The Blue Shark is rarely sought as the principal quarry of a shark fishing excursion. These animals are warm water swimmers. They are usually caught as by-catch while searching for other sharks, billfish, or tuna. A rather lanky shark of (shocker!) vivid blue coloration, they grow on average to roughly 400 pounds but exceptional individuals of up to 800 pounds or more are known to exist. These are rarely confused with other sharks.

The Thresher Shark is something of a biological oddity, which is saying something since the Selachimorpha represent an exceedingly diverse order of animals. In short, this shark's tale is roughly the same length as its body. Scientists have long debated the purpose for such an extravagance; fishermen have their own ideas. Pound for pound, the common thresher is regarded as one of the hardest fighting fish that swims in any ocean. This seems to imply that the tail aids in mobility in some fashion. On top of that, roughly 80% of the sharks are hooked in their tails rather than their mouth (a stat taken from McClane's Game and Fish of North America) which speaks to their method of attack. Fish that weigh well over half a ton are not unheard of.

The Mako Shark is one of the holy grails of fishing. The mako is a member of the mackerel shark family (a family it shares with the above Thresher, and the more infamous Great White) and is one of the single fastest fish in the world. Able to attain swim speeds of roughly 46 miles per hour and jump nearly 28 feet in the air, these fish are zealously sought both commercially and recreationally by fishermen wherever they swim. It is possible to confuse a mako and a juvenile great white; the key to telling the difference is build. Great Whites are brutes in every sense of the word, while the Mako on the other hand is built more like an athlete with a very sharp nose (its nose being the trait it gets its scientific name from). If all else fails, the only sure fire way to tell the difference between one type of shark and another without taking tissue samples is their teeth. Mako sharks obtain weights anywhere between fifteen hundred pounds to a ton and some change.

Being a hunter, I usually FD when Kvaldir spawns. That makes him disappear (don't forget to turn your pet passive).

Comment by Remirat

The sharks that spawn for this quest also die on their own after a while, much like the Angry Oak Spirit

Comment by Gnak

This is the easyest way I have found to do this quest. You can have more than one chum on you, so I pick up arround 5 and just spam them while in the water untill I get 3 sharks to spawn. Then just AOE everything down and loot your meat and you're done. Takes under a minute

Comment by Annaella

Why do you feed a troll, anyway?

Comment by 295117

To avoid calling the kvaldir, move a little way from where you last put the chum in the water each time. Tried and tested over several different runs on it to make sure this worked before posting.

Elemental Shamans - Do NOT thunderstorm the sharks. If they die on the thunderstorm, they'll sink to the bottom and you'll need to swim all the way down to loot them.

Comment by Thander

Grab double the amount of chum you think you need. There is a chance an Angry Kaldvir will spawn instead. This is pretty foolproof except one time where I required 7 chum because 5 Angry Kaldvir spawned one after another.

In case of TL;DR - if you're on a boat and can't get any chum from the buckets, you're on the wrong boat.... mea culpa.

I love how, by this point in the game, you are apparently so strong that dumping shark food around yourself so that sharks will attack you while you're swimming sounds like a perfectly reasonable method of fishing, and no one even questions it.

Macro for easy daily questing at the Argent Tournament:

/use item:46885
/use item:47029
/use item:46893
/use item:46870
/use item:47006
/use item:47033
/use item:47009
/use item:47036
/use item:46954

It attempts to use each daily quest item with every press, meaning you never have to bind/click them again! =)

How does your character convince himself to dive into the water north of a glacier in plate, mail, leather, or cloth armor just so he can be bait for some sharks to feed a yeti with?

Comment by HyacinTB

If you grab extra chum while you're on the boat in case you don't get three sharks in a row, DO NOT throw the extra away before turning in the quest or it will also destroy the meat and abandon the quest.

Apparently, chum makes Kvaldir angry...

Comment by MrFJ

This quest appears to be uncompletable suring the Shadowlands pre-patch event. The chum bucket is not on the ship.

What Do You Feed a Yeti, Anyway?

Savinia Loresong at the Argent Tournament Grounds wants you to bring her 3 pieces of North Sea Shark Meat.

	North Sea Shark Meat (3)
	Fresh Chum (5)

Description

The crusaders have captured a yeti that they're calling Icehowl. He's to be a participant in the coliseum battles and we've been asked to help with his training and upkeep.

The crusaders weren't fond of my suggestion that we feed the beast surplus Sunreavers. The creature has a predilection for shark meat, so I want you to fly down to the Silver Blade, floating in the strait to the north. Get some fresh chum from one of the buckets on the boat, then spread it in the water to attract sharks.
