These can be fished from floating wreckage

Comment by destai

They are also fished from the random fish schools along the coast and up the river.

Comment by Samboda

After patch 2.3 Weather-Beaten Journal can be found inside this trunk and according with El's Extreme Anglin' it has a 25%.

Floating wreckage is awesome.
Multiple random drops when you open. There are two keys to maximizing the outcome:
1> raise your fishing level, i.e., use the best bait you can acquire it will pay for itself
2> when you cast, if it doesn't hit within the swirling circle of floating wreckage or oily blackmouth, right-click to retrieve and recast. I ususally get at least two chests from wreckage, always only one from fish schools. The boxes I've gotten almost always contain a green item, and 3-6 items total including potions and materials. As a Lock, this is free mats when I disenchant green items. Who doesn't like free stuff?

Just found a Jagged Star of the Tiger in a Watertight Trunk while fishing in The Wetlands. You might want to add it to the "Contains" info.

Still looking for this journal!

Comment by rhinoloupe

These trunks contain Weather-Beaten Journal, the book to teach the ability Find Fish.

The drop rate of the book is very high, but it appears low on the statistics due to the fact that it doesn't show for people who already know it.

If you have the ability already, you can trade or mail a crate to another char and let them open it. If they have 100 fishing skill, they should be able to loot the Journal.

I can confirm these can be fished from both floating wreckage (like 100% chance) and fish schools (~10%).
The journal appears to be ~30-40% drop - i pulled 7 from 19 trunks (thats 36%) - and i noticed something interesting - only the one who 1st opens the trunk can see the journal. I send to my alt a trunk with a journal and some leather and i could see only the leather. Later i send some more trunks that were NEVER opened so far to same alt and i found the journal in 3th opening (for the protocol - that alt have 1/75 fishing).

Edit: Once you learn the find fish skill you can no longer see any journals, no matter if you're 1st opener.

Spent 3 hours, Okay so how I got this was I fished in the Sagefish Pool, You'll see it in Stonetalon Mountains, in Mirkfallon Lake. North of Sun Rock Retreat. Fished for ever but I did get the book first try. Just keep fishing in the Sagefish Pool and it'll drop more. I will post a screen shot on how much fish I recieved from those 3 hours and the book!

Comment by Splitx

i got that box 1 time and that time i had the journal :D

Comment by Zorklat

I've sold a dozen or more of the Weather-Beaten Journals. they are Unique and Bind on Pickup. So the thing to do is fish up these trunks (floating wreckage FTW!), mail them to an alt that has Fishing but NOT Find Fish, and have him open but NOT loot the trunks. You can then trade the trunk with the journal in it. In order to sell it, you have to bark in trade; the auction house does not accept them.

Went to Southshore and on the my fifth cast on my first pool I received a Watertight Trunk and one of it's contents was the Weather-Beaten Journal. Good luck fellow anglers!

I've found that farming these is a great method of farming for the journal. My favorite spot is the southern beach in Hillsbrad, mainly because its usually always empty, give or take a few questers killing murlocs or naga. I spent about 15 minutes tops looking for wreckage along the coast until I caught a box with the journal in it, then spent another hour farming the boxes and mailing them to a couple guildees. 2 of my friends got one out of the 10 that i mailed boxes to, with about 2-3 boxes per guildee.
Would highly reccomend this area for anyone going after the journal.

OK I found the journal by fishing up at both oil and wreckage sights near the venture co. station in the east of stonetalon. In my opinion it is the best place to farm for the box that has the journal.

got several of these from the sagefish schools in the loch

Had a green belt in it if i recall (one of them)

Comment by Allakhazam

Well, it looks like there IS some kind of trunk with kind of valuable things inside... :P! JUst a question... What are linen bolts, wool bolts and other quind of bolts used for? tailoring I supose? :(

Comment by Allakhazam

Fished a few from Hillsbrad.. The small pond right next to Tarren Mill.. One of these boxes contained a . Later when I went to Orgrimmar, I put it in to AH for 85g bid 89g Buyout. It was instantly bought with buyout.

Now I am even more rich than I used to be: total amount of cash at the moment is 5914 gold. Gathering thousands of golds isnt too hard, the places of farming must be known. Have faith. Fish. Good luck!

Comment by Allakhazam

Obviously you can get these from the Floating Debris/Wreckage, but I usually get one of these from every other school of fish (Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper mostly) I go after, as well.
They almost always contain cloth, wool, or leather of some kind and/or some coin, and/or an item (sometimes 1-3 potions, sometimes a magic item).

As of this writing, the best thing I've gotten is a (green item) Sequoia Branch of Strength (lvl 35 2-H hammer, 28.9 dps, +11 Strength) when I was lvl 34 (I had to wait to equip it obviously) and which I still use when soloing (it's slow but powerful).

Comment by Allakhazam

Confirmed, I just fished it up on the southern shore of Hillsbrad among the murloc camps... second cast into a pool of Floating Wreckage. Was in a watertight trunk,along with some change & a couple bolts of wool :)

Comment by Allakhazam

If you go to the bottom of hillsbrad. You will come across a coast inhabited with Murlocs and Nagas. There are firefin snapper and Oily blackmouth schools as well as a couple whreckages
