This information is current as of September 8/16 on Live servers.

TIP #1: There are groups in the group-finder that fish together on Margoss' Retreat; this greatly increases the number of Marchio di Aquaos that are fished up, and with enough people you can chain them back-to-back, increasing your rate of Manaffogato acquisition dramatically!

TIP #2: Take advantage of reputation buffs, like WHEE!/Cilindro di Lunacupa while the Darkmoon Faire is active, or similar buffs listed in the guide below during holidays to speed this grind up!

Evocatore Margoss

Evocatore Margoss is a new Fishing-related NPC located on a floating island (Margoss' Retreat) around Dalaran. This island has a pool of water on it from which Manaffogato can be fished up.

As a "Friend" NPC, there is an associated faction and reputation associated with Margoss - Evocatore Margoss (similar to Nat Pagle or the Tillers NPCs).

Getting to Margoss' Retreat

The island on which Evocatore Margoss can be found is just North of Dalaran. Note that this small island isn't shown on the map of Dalaran - it is outside of the bounds of the in-game map (therefore coordinates are not helpful!)

There are a number of ways to get to the island:

You can get back to Dalaran by speaking to Evocatore Margoss - he will teleport you back on request.

Obtaining Manaffogato

Manaffogato has a two-fold purpose:

Can be turned in to Evocatore Margoss to obtain reputation with him.

Can be used as a currency for a number of items he sells.

Note that any Manaffogato spent on items from Evocatore Margoss will not grant any reputation. Conversely, any Manaffogato turned in for reputation is consumed and cannot be used to buy merchandise.

Manaffogato can ONLY be fished up from the pool on Margoss' Retreat.

Notes

A Fishing skill of 1 is sufficient to catch Manaffogato.
Fishing skill does not appear to appreciably affect Manaffogato catch rate (see below).
You can catch up to 2 Manaffogato per cast.
Other than Manaffogato, only trash fish are caught on this island (Sgombro d'Argento and Grosso Pesce Rosso da Fontana).
Manaffogato can be turned in 1 at a time for 50 reputation or 10 at a time for 500 reputation.
Manaffogato is Unique (100) - as such you want to turn-in or spend it when you reach that mark.
Level 110 is NOT required to fish up Manaffogato. Testing with level 100+ characters has been successful; it is unknown whether even lower level characters can do so.

Marchio di Aquaos

Marchio di Aquaos is an item you can rarely fish up on Margoss' Retreat (roughly 1 in every 100 casts). Using it will summon Aquaos lo Scatenato, an Elemental that will attack you, that you must kill.

Aquaos lo Scatenato scales in health and level (like all Legion mobs). It is not difficult to kill him.
Aquaos drops no loot, but killing him infuses the pool on the island with mana, increasing the catch rate of Manaffogato to 100% while it is active for a short time! This state is indicated by blue mana motes rising from the surface of the water.
This "mana infusion" state lasts 2-3 minutes from testing.
Marchio di Aquaos is Unique - as such, it is advisable to use it as soon as you catch one, to avoid not being able to loot any more you may catch. Of course, if the buff is still up on the pool from a previous kill, wait until it has expired before using another - prematurely using one DOES NOT extend the buff!
While the buff is up, not only is Manaffogato catch rate 100%, but you will somtimes catch various Legion (non-trash) fish, such as Razza della Tempesta and Salmone di Alto Monte.

Fishing Tests

LOW FISHING SKILL: Fished from a skill of 19 to 119 (Total 100 casts)

Total yield: 28 Manaffogato

6 casts yielded 1 Manaffogato
11 casts yielded 2 Manaffogato
Overall 17 casts yielded some Manaffogato (17%)

HIGH FISHING SKILL: Fished at a skill of 904, with some Fishing gear and lure (Total 100 casts)

Total yield: 27 Manaffogato

9 casts yielded 1 Manaffogato
9 casts yielded 2 Manaffogato
1 cast yielded a Marchio di Aquaos
Overall 18 casts yielded some Manaffogato (18%)

VERY HIGH FISHING SKILL: Fished from a skill of 1115 to 1152, with best possible Fishing gear and lure (Total 200 casts)

Total yield: 51 Manaffogato

15 casts yielded 1 Manaffogato
18 casts yielded 2 Manaffogato
3 casts yielded a Marchio di Aquaos
Overall 39 casts yielded some Manaffogato (19.5%)

Overall this is a fairly low sample size; however, based on the information, it appears that Fishing skill has little to no effect on Manaffogato catch rate. Further testing is needed to see if maxed fishing will yield different results.

Reputation with Evocatore Margoss

Reputation with Evocatore Margoss will allow you to purchase the various items he has for sale - including a pet and a mount!

There is a one-time quest (Manaffogato) that you can complete by fishing up and turning in 1 Manaffogato for 250 reputation. Thereafter, the only way to obtain further reputation is to turn in Manaffogato for 50 reputation per mana.

There are 5 levels of reputation before Best Friend, which is the maximum reputation. Each of these levels has 8400 reputation.

To improve the rate of reputation gain, keep in mind the following buffs (note that some of the following buffs stack):

WHEE! or Cilindro di Lunacupa, available during the Darkmoon Faire

WHEE! is available by riding the Darkmoon Carousel
Cilindro di Lunacupa is granted by the Cilindro di Lunacupa item, which can be purchased for 10 Buono di Lunacupas. It can only be used while the Darkmoon Faire is active.
WHEE! and Cilindro di Lunacupa do not stack with each other.

Visione Tetra/Coscienza Pulita, available during the Hallow's End Holiday Event
Spirito della Condivisione, available during the Pilgrim's Bounty Holiday Event
Diplomazia, one of the human racial abilities
Saggezza del Consiglio, available to Frost Mages with Gelonero from various NPCs in Dalaran

Below is a summary of the levels of reputation with Evocatore Margoss:

Reputation Level	Reputation Amount	Manaffogato Required to Reach Next Level	Total Manaffogato Required	Total Manaffogato Required (with 10% buff)*
Stranger	0-8400	163**	163	148
Pal	8401-16800	168	331	301
Buddy	16801-25200	168	499	454
Friend	25201-33600	168	667	606
Good Friend	33601-41999	168	835	759
Best Friend	42000	-	835	759

*Each level of reputation requires just over 152 Manaffogato with a single 10% buff. Stacking buffs will further the effectiveness.
**This level requires fewer mana turn-ins due to the one-time quest.

Commento di FrostWD

If you want to get to this guy DONT use Aquilone dei Corno Celeste di Piume di Grifalco as soon as you get close you get kicked off because you enter a bit of "The Great Sea" and this kite is only for the broken isles so that means the kite doesn't work.. Just putting it out here i got pretty frustrated have to swim now and take a FP back to dalaran because i just used my hearthstone.

Anyways goodluck!

Commento di Mydge

Light Feather will not work.

Commento di Kurasu

People have compared this character to grinding with Nat Paglle. However, the grind is considerably more difficult than Nat.

For one thing, getting to the island is difficult, and that specific island is the only place that you are able to catch 'Drowned Mana'. So in order to get mana from him, you need to be in a specific location.

Secondly, that 'Drowned Mana' needs to be turned into him, rather like the lunkers. However, *unlike* the lunker turn-ins, you do not get an item for it. You simply get reputation.

*AFTER* you have the amount of reputation you need, you need to fish up *more* drowned mana in order to get his goods, rather than having the 'mana' that you spent on him in order to get to Best Friend.

In other words, you need approximately 1000 drowned mana to become best friends, and *then* you need another 150 to get both the pet and the mount.

.... happy fishing.

Commento di TrenoNeoKnight

Coincidentally this gentleman shares the exact same look with the Mago Sfinito from Northrend's Dalaran, despite the latter being identified as Barnaby Fletcher from Mists of Pandaria.

Commento di lunamoonraker

Be aware that he will happily continue to offer the option and accept Manaffogato even when you have hit Best Friend maximum reputation.

Commento di vindurza

fun fact he seems to be the washed up mage found in the sewer during wrath who gives you the recipe for kunga'loosh off his arm, or at least related to him in some way do to the same over all look and the fact fishing usually involves heavy drinking if we use nat as an example. he also seems to be a little crazy since he constantly refers to his manaling as kadghar and the manaling begs you to save it

Commento di tigernest

Your progress towards reputation with this guy can be found under Steamwheedle Cartel.

Commento di Elder82

Mages, and people who have a mage available next to them, don't need any special tool to get to the retreat: just cast slow fall, mount up and run towards the island to land on it easily. :)

Commento di SoCalWoWGal

In Patch 7.1.5, Procy will be sold by Evocatore Margoss at "Best Friend" reputation for 50 Manaffogato.

Note: At the time of posting this comment the Wowhead database had not yet updated the vendor information.

Fishing skill level one and I don't get anything more than my fish got away.

Commento di pat33

BEST ADVICE EVER:

DO A PREMADE: Drowned mana farm!

When in 40 man raid you get Mark of Aquaos non stop resulting in endless rain of DROWNED MANA!

Commento di Vetchinkin

Aquaos was supposed to be easy to kill, it took me a while...oh wait...fishing pole equipped.

Commento di Kiingy

I wrote a small WeakAura for the Broken Shore fishing factions.

Whenever you catch one of the rep/currency items it'll display a small popup for 4 seconds showing your current count (plus any in bank). It's set to only show once you have 80+ and a sound alert will play once you have 96+.
It'll also alert you with a sound and display a persistent clickable button when you catch one of the items that spawns the mini-boss. This will only show while you have a fishing rod equipped.

All sounds can be changed or disabled and thresholds for when to start showing can also be changed (or set it always show).
The aura itself will only load on characters that have learned the Fishing ability.

Since the WeakAura import string is quite long I've posted it below on pastebin.

All updates to the aura are also noted in the above pastebin link.

My Dear "Best Friend" Margoss

After 1591 fishing casts and hours of bonding with you, may you drown in the 1134 Manaffogato I have have provided to this trade friendship.
May we not convene again in the near future!

Incincerely

Your no longer 'Best Friend'!
