All right friends, i made an account just to post this! lol

Rank 3 indeed comes from fishing in AZSUNA ONLY
I fished all over the place in pools and in open water as well. i leveled from 700 to 800
took 4 hours and fished up about 450 fish, i used lures and special poles
BUT when i finally got it i was using the silly little stick, no lure, and not in a pool.

Keep grinding friends you will get it eventually
Cheers

To those that got it:

Were you using the normal fishing pole when you got it?

Were you using the artifact pole?

Were you using special lures?

Comment by koulis12

Just got this after trying to find any helpful comments on looting rank3 in Azhuna.
I had been fishing in open waters all over the area but had no luck(caught approximately 800 fish)
Switched to Cursed Queenfish schools(circled all around the academy) and got it within half an hour of a proc trait with my fishing artifact.
I would imagine you can get it without the fishing artifact only you would have to fish through a whole school in your attempt to loot it. Gl out there!

Comment by Eterna

Looted this today and have the following information on it:

I already had the rank 2 of this Vantus Rune
I was fishing from pools only.
Had legendary pole equipped
Had arcane lure on
Think I had special lure on too (or it just ran out, not sure!)
Caught it in a normal pool, so not the ghostly queenfish one.
It was on a Saturday, 21:15 server time EU.

It took me about 9 hours of fishing and aproximately 1500 casts.
Onwards to the archeology one! ;-)

Good Luck everyone.

I got it after about ~20-30 min of fishing from a Cursed Queenfish pool in the lake near Narthalas Academy. No legendary pole equipped or any special lures.

Comment by Greywyr

To help out my fellow scribers.

Tried a couple of times to fish in open waters near the Academy - nothing intensively, spent no more than about 20mins for a couple of days - but to no avail. The trick seems to be fishing from cursed queenfish schools, got it on my 4th cast. Whether it must be in the pools around the Academy I cannot confirm, but it was where I got mine (which somewhat makes sense considering the Academy was Nar'Thalas epitome of research for knowledge).

No fishing artifact, no lures, just max skill.

Fished it up from a Cursed Queenfish pool in a lake by felblaze ingress. No fancy fishing pole, only 209 fishing. Took me 266 casts, was mostly in open water but switched to the pool when I noticed it

Comment by mfkdgaf

I can confirm you can get this from the 2 ponds to the west of Felblaze Ingress. 64.26, 26.39 and 63.67, 22.12.
What helped me was to use the addon server hop to reduce the wait time of the cursed queenfish schools to respawn.

Comment by Karldin

Do these drop for everyone, like the rank 2 and rank 3 tailoring/enchanting recipes or do you have to be a scribe?

Comment by frakbt

I am confirming that mine, too, came from a Cursed Queenfish pool (by Nar'thalas Academy). After months of fishing daily from open water while waiting for my Seat queue to pop (yeah, still trying to get the recipe for Glyph of Dark Absolution), today I decided to fish just from Cursed Queenfish pools. Got it from my 6th or 7th pool. No lure. No pole. Fishing 800.

Of course, now I have to find something else to do while I wait for my Seat queue to pop . . .

Here's my story:

Discovered that music scrolls had been patched into the game at some point, but noticed that the Songs of the Legion was locked behind Legion inscription. Which was the only expac I hadn't leveled.

Went to look into what it'd take to cap it, and Vantus Runes turned out to not just be a roadblock to it, but a rather awful one as well since it required the professional herself to raid, multiple times.

Swore it off for a few days instead to make money off of world quests and emissary caches before the pre-patch.

After farming around on Friday the 6th (Nov 2020) on my main, I came back to my scribbler. I knew his rotation, his talents were good and gear low-level raiding thanks to a combination of world quests and boredom, so I took to the Arcway via LFR. Skorpyron was dropped easily, and provided his rune technique. Took me about an hour to figure out how to get to the normal on foot, and when I stumbled in, found I was still in the LFR group. Cunningly, I dropped my group of one while inside and it teleported me to the portcullis outside instead of the LFR Archmage outside Violet Hold. Going back in on normal, Skorpyron failed to drop his rank-2 technique. Unaccountably. Rest of the gear was there, just bad RNG I suppose.

Continued on to the next boss, Chronomatic Anomaly, who did drop his rune, and then also in LFR (in which I had to kill Skorpyron, again).

Checked the rep tables, and it turned out that Chronomatic Anomaly was fishing. Fine, I didn't have the necessary rep on that alt anyway. Or fishing, but that was definitely easier to grind in one day than the repwall.

Went to the fountain in Dal, learned fishing for all expacs, and headed down to Azsuna's ocean shoreline. First cast in Legion waters was the Crate of Bobbers: Wooden Pepe. 14th was the Crate of Bobbers: Can of Worms.

ONE THOUSAND SEVEN-HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO CASTS AND TEN HOURS LATER (I literally took two cat-naps during the process. Got bored, went up to the Charlie the Unicorn reference, fished there for awhile, went around to fish in pools. Took wife-relate breaks but she fished for me for a few minutes over a rum drink.) and I FINALLY got the Vantus Rune Technique: Chronomatic Anomaly from a Ghostly Queenfish School.

This is both a Raid-walled and unrelated-grind-walled item. Inscription is heavily grindy, Legion inscription moreso given the quantities of Sallow pigment. Just... how dare they.

I dunno if whoever responsible for this was fired but I certainly hope so. I like to think this system was the remnant we see of a simultaneous parallel microtransaction system that didn't make it much beyond the planning phase but I have no idea why Legion Inscription is so terrible, really.

It's hard enough to find a single dedicated professional on a medium-pop server (one with enough players to get a /2 message noticed, but not so many that you're fighting memes to be seen by a professional), and it's almost impossible to find someone with every glyph, let alone the ones from Legion.

I dunno, I'm losing my mind I guess. My fingers cramped up from fishing for a good half day.

Now, to cap scribbling...

Comment by Akusutein

Got it after 129 casts from pools, i suspect it has more chances from the closest pools to academy. GL all

Comment by Drozee

Fished up today in a Cursed Queenfish School @ 64.59 23.02 w. Underlight Angler and Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat. Fishing rod was enchanted with the Head use effect enchant.

Did a mix of fishing with and without equipment, both in ghostly queenfish schools, cursed queenfish school, and just open world fishing (Azsuna only). Took 511 tries together.

Comment by Wyler

I strongly suspect this Vantus Rune is fished up as a proc when you get a queenfish (the Aszuna-only fish), whether from a pool or open water.

This would explain the disparity between people getting it often from queenfish pools, but then also rarely from open water fishing (where you get queenfish 10ish% of the time).

I fished well over 1000 catches from open water with no luck, and eventually got it from a queenfish pool after dozens of pools fished.

Short version - fish the queenfish pools if you can.

Comment by Jamuestus

I am pretty sure you should only be fishing from cursed fish pools. Got mine just north of 100 fish. There are a severe lack of fish nodes so just do a circle around the academy and then test the waters around ingress for nodes. I believe the disparity (as others have commented) is due to open water fishing vs. cursed fish specific node farming.

Comment by LilleMats

here are the locations where they drop according to wowhead:

/way azsuna 60.5 30.7 -1-
/way azsuna 56.4 40.0 -2-
/way azsuna 53.9 35.4 -3-
/way azsuna 52.6 33.2 -4-
/way azsuna 53.8 30.2 -5-
/way azsuna 48.3 32.2 -6-

Comment by adamj200

Convinced this doesn't exist. I'm 2000+ casts in and haven't seen it yet :\

Edit: Over 3000 casts now.

5000 casts now, I give up.

Comment by AmadiaHS

CURSED Queenfish School.
No special rod.
352 Queenfish
14 Silver Mackerel (from spacing out when a pool finished)
166 Ghostly Queenfish (because there was one comment on this page that they fished it from one, but I think they linked the wrong pool. I didn't want to risk it and fished for 5 minutes every time I got a brooch.)

I submitted a screenshot for my route of Queenfish pool farming, but I'm not sure if it will be approved.
