Alliance ship is at 66,8 on icecrown map.
Horde Ship is at 74,9 on icecrown map.

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).

To clarify for anyone without Cartographer, you get the chum buckets off the boats north of the Argent Tournament grounds. The Alliance boat is slightly southwest of the twin icebergs on the map, and the Horde boat is slightly southeast.

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)

The crusaders weren't fond of my suggestion that we feed some Silver Covenant members to the beast.

Lol.

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.

As an avid conservationist I despise these quests. Instead of killing 3 sharks and taking 1 piece of meat off each one why cant we kill 1 shark and take 3 pieces of meat off of it.

It wont be long till the waters of azeroth are devoid of sharks and all we have are oceans full of angry Kvaldir.

Pretty much the dumbest daily in the icecrown - there are so many things wrong with it.

Firstly, why the hell are there 10 foot tall giants waiting underwater for you to put out shark bait? Secondly... what are they, cloaked or something? I can't imagine you could possibly miss one of these things even if you had no water goggles. Lastly, the spawn rate is stupid. I've had five kvaldir in a row and no sharks. Should I be jumping in the water with 20 buckets of chum or something? :/

I can think of worse quests in the game, but this ranks pretty high.

Want to do something hilarious with this quest? Pick up as many chum buckets as you can carry, go to Dalaran and dump em in the fountain. OMG, you'll have sharks and vykuls jamming up every inch of the water. And when that space is gone the sharks will start flying in the air above it. You'll cause a riot with people trying to fish there.

Have fun!

Comment by kurtiffrig

Damn, that video is funny! I've tested this in other cities too. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Org, only because you have to be totally submerged in water to release the chum and Org ponds are too shallow. However, as a proud member of the Horde I hired a couple of mercenaries to join me in my infiltration of the Stormwind canals.

Wish I had taken a video of it. We all had invisibility power to stealth in from the harbor, dove into the canals and released close to 300 sharks and vykuls. Must have had everybody in the entire town checking out the action. And since i was wearing my Kalu'ak fishing pole I could breath underwater the entire time.

Eventually the 80 allies started diving in and that's when we attacked in force. Man what a riot!

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.

I might be the only noob here, but at first I tried to find the buckets at the other boat were u do the other daily, but that was a bad place to look at ^^ those ships are closer to the tournament grounds.

Comment by 384792

You need 3 shark meat so loot 3 buckets. Looks like all the sharks have shark meat! What a surprise!

Comment by 257386

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 in the water 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! =)

This is one of the dailies Tylos Dawnrunner offers when you become exalted with the Sunreavers and a champion of at least one home city.
He will randomly give only one of the following quests per day:
What Do You Feed a Yeti, Anyway?
Breakfast Of Champions
Gormok Wants His Snobolds

You do not need to be exalted with the Argent Crusade to access these dailies.

No one that has commented about what it can be interpreted as.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ship with RED trimming, almost immediately north of the tourney grounds. If you've gone onto the map north of Icecrown, you're too far. You can loot each bucket multiple times, so grab 3, jump in the water and use 'em. Summons one of three types of shark or a Kvaldir raider; all the sharks will give shark meat. Ridiculously easy quest, once you find the bloody boat.

Links

What Do You Feed a Yeti, Anyway?

Tylos Dawnrunner at the Argent Tournament Grounds wants you to bring him 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 some Silver Covenant members to the beast. The creature prefers shark meat, so I want you to fly down to the Crimson Dawn, 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.
