Catching Old Crafty
Notes: "Said to be the craftiest fish in Orgrimmar, it appears he was outsmarted at last." Binds to the angler when caught, so cannot be traded.
Commentary: Rare catch from either area of open water in Orgrimmar. Estimated at less than 1 in 1000 of catches. Binds to the angler when caught, so cannot be traded. It is possible to catch and equip this as low as level 5. The item is still very good at level 19, so recommended for "twink" special mages ((warlocks)), who can attempt to catch it while waiting to be called up to battlegrounds.
