Fishin’ Time is one of those quests that looks like it wants you to fish, and then doesn’t. Both objectives are vendor purchases, not catches, so the whole thing takes about a minute if you know which pier to walk onto.
Quick answer: Buy 1 Shiny Bauble and 3 Nightcrawlers from Catherine Leland, the Fishing Supplier standing on the pier between Stormwind’s Trade District and Mage Quarter, then head back to turn the quest in.
Fishin’ Time objectives: Shiny Bauble and Nightcrawlers
The quest tracker lists two items, shown as 0/1 Shiny Bauble and 0/3 Nightcrawlers. Neither is a drop and neither requires a fishing pole — both sit in a single vendor’s merchant inventory.
| Item | Amount | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Shiny Bauble | 1 | Catherine Leland, Stormwind |
| Nightcrawlers | 3 | Catherine Leland, Stormwind |
Where to find Catherine Leland in Stormwind
Catherine Leland carries the <Fishing Supplier> tag and stands on the wooden pier that juts out over the canal between the Trade District and the Mage Quarter. Open your Stormwind map and aim for the Trade District waterfront, then follow the canal edge until you can step onto the planks. She is out on the boards themselves, not inside any of the surrounding buildings.
How to buy both quest items
How to confirm the objectives are complete
Both objectives tick over the moment the items land in your bags. Check the quest tracker and look for the counters reading 1/1 Shiny Bauble and 3/3 Nightcrawlers. If one line is still short, reopen the vendor window and buy the missing amount rather than looking for it elsewhere in the city.
Do not vendor the Shiny Bauble afterwards if you keep a spare. It is a fishing lure, and the faction cities are low-tier fishing water, so it is genuinely useful while your fishing skill is still small.
That is the entire quest. The only thing that trips people up is hunting for a fishing spot when the answer is a merchant standing a few steps off the canal.
