I did the achievement the "old-fashioned way" on my main, but really didn't want to spend another 400+ casts for an alt. I did the Wrath Gate achievement in Dragonblight, got the follow-up that phases you to non-hostile in Ogrimmar, took the portal, and headed to the pools in the valley to fish. (Alliance if you hadn't already guessed). I had the crocs in the city daily, tried the "bug" option, and it obviously didn't work. I had a total of 377 casts for him and twice ignored the croc catch for the daily within the first 50 or so catches. I finally accepted the croc on the third fish-up and still took nearly 300 more casts to get Crafty. Happy it's done. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4456 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:34:45 +0000 Pilwei 4456@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught Old Crafty twice this week. These were my first two catches of the shark-like swimmer. On 2/16/09 and 2/19/09. In both cases I was on Old Man Barlo's Daily quest of "Crocolisks in the Sewers" and had decided to keep fishing after catching the Baby Crocolisk to raise my fishing skill. I had raised my skill 2-3 points and bang there was the Crafty one. Same situation on the second day. </p> <p>Picture of the two Old Crafty's in my Bank at: <a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&#38;friendID=182010917&#38;albumID=1874347&#38;imageID=30851884">Screen Shot of Pilwei Bank with 2 Old Craftys</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4274 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:23:15 +0000 woxingma 4274@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Sounds like they've reverted the dailies to back what they used to be.

Rather than keeping my druid idle, I should have continued to do the daily to increase my chances of getting a good drop. So tonight I decided to start doing just that. I unparked my druid, did Crocolisks in the City, and got the pet. Talk about luck... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4170 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:45:21 +0000 rakoth 4170@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've been doing the daily for about 3 months now and have managed to get the Eye of the Sea, Spun Truesilver Fishing Line and the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat. No pets, recipes or rings though.

Assuming a probability of 1/5 for the Crocolisks in the City quest to even become available, then your probability of getting the Crocolisk pet on *any given day*, that is, before even looking at what the quest is, is then 1/100.</p> <p>At the rate of 1 quest/day, that can still take a heck of a long time. There's every chance that you'll have run this six 4 months (approx. 122 tries) without success.</p> <p>Anyone remember the formula to calculate average length of time to get a result based on a 1/n probability? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4155 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:55:47 +0000 Azaguth 4155@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Okay, I haven't been EXTREMELY unlucky...but at 5%, that should be a 1/20 odds... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4150 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:14:54 +0000 Triseult 4150@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The pet crocolisk comes only from the "Crocolisks in the City" quest. And you're not unlucky... These are just extremely rare: approx. 5% as a reward from Crocolisks in the City, but that quest only becomes available every few days. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4148 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:12:09 +0000 Azaguth 4148@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ditto.</p> <p>Although I've been really unlucky with getting the baby crockolisk.</p> <p>Do those just come as rewards from the "Crockolisks in the City" daily, or can any of them have it as a reward? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/outland-fishing-daily#post-4140 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:53:01 +0000 rakoth 4140@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>No it doesn't.

Seven casts and the quest was done. Four bloated had 2 a piece, two bloated had 1 each... and the seventh cast that wasn't a bloated (not in that order, of course). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4075 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 01:07:44 +0000 Al 4075@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I ,luckily, got the hat during the previous patch. But, since 3.0.8, the dailies take a lot longer. I used to get the baby crockolisk on first cast in the mage pool at IF every time. Last try, however, I had numerous casts in IF with no luck and finally went off to Stormwind (where the quest actually says to go, LOL!) and got one there on the second cast. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-changes-to-fishing-daily-quests#post-4065 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:57:49 +0000 Norrinir 4065@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I can confirm One that got away and Bait bandits. Both required more casts than one.</p> <p>Technically, it's just a bug fix, but we got pretty much used to it. I miss it already, fishing dailies drive me mad, 5 months of trying and still no hat and I doubt this will help it. </p>
