- Entering instances via waypoint (rather than an entrance from another instance) and running in small cirles around the waypoint three times upon entering.
worries bro, I'm happy to help, that's what I'm here for. Glad you're enjoying the game :D
Clockwise or counterclockwise?
I think I was going counterclockwise, but I have no idea if it matters. I think the important thing is just to make sure you get three full laps around the edge of the waypoint.
I don't want to misrepresent myself with this, so I'd like to make it absolutely clear that for all I know there could be a million ways to get a rod to drop. I tried so many (and was trying so many) when they did drop that I can't even be certain how much of what I was doing was required, and how much of it was irrelevant but that I just happened to be trying out at the time.
A short list of some of the stuff that may or may not have worked:
- Carrying feathers in my inventory (they are certainly useful after you get the rod)
- Carrying an eternal imprint of a Fairgrave's Tricorne, and wearing the Tricorne that the imprint was taken from. I'm going to guess that wearing the Tricorne isn't an actual requirement, but I figured it wouldn't hurt
- Typing the phrase #Jabberjawsyoloswag in global chat at the start of each new instance. I believe this may be one of the most important preconditions for Jabberjaws to spawn
- Farming in places where traditionally one might expect to find other people already fishing
- Entering instances via waypoint (rather than an entrance from another instance) and running in small cirles around the waypoint three times upon entering.
- Making sure that whatever I did, I did it before killing Fairgraves. If you already killed him I suggest starting a new character.
Another point worth noting: Jabberjaws has been nerfed hard since closed beta. It's possible if you're just doing mass mindless clears that you could kill him and not even notice the rod drop, so be careful and be sure to check all your lootz carefully.
Thanks for the advice! Is there anything you can tell us about Pier maps, the Flame of Truth, and also the Allflame?
I can point out the obvious conundrum: You can't farm Pier until you've killed Fairgraves if you play doing all the quests in their normal order. Be mindful of that.

JJ might be easier to kill, but certainly seems to be rarer than before. I killed JabberJaws once when he popped up during a racing event before open release, but haven't seen JJ since then.
Maybe it's a once an account kind of thing?

MostaMunch, Can you please tell what can you catch with that rod? It is mirror right..it must be a mirror ;) ;) Perhaps mirror enabling cross-server item duping?
Someone needs to try using the feathers on a white, magic and rare version of a fishing rod.
How did you think I got the rhoa feather lure on mine?
