The Quest for Accurate Drop Rates in Eternium Rod Fishing: A Study on Wow's Rare Fish Catch

As avid fishermen and WoW enthusiasts, we've all wondered about the elusive drop rates of rare fish in World of Warcraft. With the Eternium Rod being a prized catch among many anglers, understanding its rarity can be crucial in planning our fishing expeditions. In this article, we'll delve into the intricacies of measuring drop rates for rare fish, specifically the Eternium Rod.

The Challenge of Measuring Drop Rates

Measuring drop rates can be a complex task, especially when dealing with rare items like the Eternium Rod. One potential flaw in our approach is that it's possible to catch tastyfish before rare fish are added, giving us an incorrect perception of their relative rarity. However, we're fortunate to have data on both tastyfish and rare fish catches, allowing us to compare and contrast their frequencies.

Comparing Rare Fish to Tastyfish

The key to understanding the drop rate of rare fish lies in comparing it to that of tastyfish. Since both are caught under identical conditions, this comparison provides a fair basis for evaluating their relative rarity. However, even with this approach, we're unable to obtain an exact 'droprate' for the Eternium Rod, as Thottbot's tracking system doesn't account for specific conditions like fishing bobber placement within tastyfish spawns.

A Note on Data Collection

In our previous discussions, some users expressed confusion about how these statistics were gathered. To clarify, I've re-run the numbers and would appreciate an upvote to ensure this post remains visible and accessible.

While we may not be able to obtain a precise drop rate for the Eternium Rod, understanding its relative rarity compared to tastyfish provides valuable insights for anglers. By recognizing the limitations of our measurement methods, we can refine our approach and better plan our fishing expeditions in World of Warcraft.
