I've been fishing the sewers off and on for over a year, caught him with what was then my main after a full week and close to 800 casts. Got the fishing bug with my new main, and fished on and off over several months, probably around 600 casts. Today, fishing the sewers with the quest, caught him in under 40 casts. One experience is entirely anecdotal, but I was wondering if anyone else had this happen also.</p> <p>Xethux </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat-in-the-dalaran-fountain#post-10373 Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:20:25 +0000 FrozenIron 10373@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Total: 580 casts at skill 718 (base 525 + pole 40 + line 3 + lure 150) in Cantrips &amp; Crows:<br /> 301 x Sewer Carp<br /> 152 x Magic Eater<br /> 79 x Crystal Vial<br /> 30 x Partially Eaten Fish<br /> 17 x Drowned Rat<br /> 1 x Giant Sewer Rat </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat-in-the-dalaran-fountain#post-10000 Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:12:03 +0000 Rockliner 10000@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Woot, I was able to catch the rat last night! 290 total Casts! </p> <p>I was just getting ready to go do something else too! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-9687 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:43:49 +0000 el 9687@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I suppose it depends how you look at it! From my perspective, Bent Fishing Hooks are almost avoidable by having low skill, and the chance of catching them increases with skill up to 525. In the vast majority of places there aren't any junk-quality items in the regular (successful) loot table, so there are no junk catches of any kind once you reach the skill threshold, </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-9686 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:26:27 +0000 Ravenous 9686@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My logic is not incorrect. It is not how you view it, but it is accurate.</p> <p>Bent Fishing Hooks are junk... they will not be removed from the loot table in Dalaran's Fountain, regardless of your skill level.</p> <p>Perhaps I shouldn't state that there is "always" a chance of getting junk... but that some fishing locations will always have their own chance of getting junk, regardless of your skill. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-9684 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:10:18 +0000 el 9684@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Incorrect logic. If you fish with skill 1 you will catch a lot of skill-related junk, but have almost no chance of catching a Bent Fishing Hook.</p> <p>Think of having 2 completely separate loot tables. (1) is the skill-related junk table, (2) the successful catch table. Bent Fishing Hook are on the successful catch table. If your effective skill is 525 or above, the successful catch table is always used. If your effective skill is below 525, there's a chance of the skill-related loot table being used. The more below, the greater the chance. The catch isn't based on "whether an item is junk", it's based on which loot table is selected.</p> <p>(Obviously that's simplified for the fountain, since the coin buff effectively adds an extra dimension to the successful loot table.) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-9683 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:50:15 +0000 Ravenous 9683@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>el <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-9681" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/bent_fishing_hook.html" title="Fish Finder: Bent Fishing Hook." class="nocolor" rel="item=43645">Bent Fishing Hook</a>s are not skill-related junk.<br /> There are very specific items of junk that are caught due to insufficient skill, listed on <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/junk.html" title="Start: (Not) Catching Junk - Explains why you might catch junk items, and how to avoid them.">(Not) Catching Junk</a>.

After that, I took a research break, and read on another site (Wowhead? Warcraftpets?) that fishing from the end of the pier by Cantrips and Crows was the best place to catch the Giant Sewer Rat. So I moved to the Cantrips and Crows, and caught the Giant Sewer Rat on my second lure. Someone else also caught it while I was there. I don't know if the probability there actually is higher or if I just got lucky, but if you're having a lot of frustration in the Black Market, you just might be fishing in the wrong spot.</p> <p>By the way, I was using the following:</p> <p>450 Fishing skill<br /> Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole with High Test Eternium Fishing Line (+35 skill total)<br /> +100 lures </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat-in-the-dalaran-fountain#post-9072 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 10:18:57 +0000 Fishing for chickens 9072@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My son-in-law caught the Sewer rat in the fountain (darn it, i still don't have it.)<br /> It's required that your bobber land "in the wall" so to speak...

When fishing in the fountain, you'll want fountain catches all the time, otherwise you waste part of the benefit of the gold coin lucky buff. The lucky buff won't buff Underbelly catches like the Sewer Rat - it only applies to fountain catches like coins. It's also far easier to fish for the Sewer Rat in the Underbelly itself, because there's a lot more water to choose from. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-8510 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:44:42 +0000 hoooyeeeaaa 8510@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for that tip el I'm gonna start the coin master soon myself good to know you can go for the sewer rat at the same time. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dalaran-really-525#post-8509 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:34:44 +0000 el 8509@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Casts that land at the edges of the fountain catch Underbelly fish. Hence it is possible to catch a Giant Sewer Rat there, but only if your casts land at the edge.

Here's how:</p> <p>First, I made sure all of my items were at 100% durability. I took the ship from Stormwind Harbor to Valiance Keep. I left the keep and found the first thing to attack. I was killed. I then ghost ran from the graveyard down the road towards Dragonblight. I ghost ran through Dragonblight to Crystalsong Forest.</p> <p>Once you cross the border into Crystalsong forest, you get a spirit mount. You then fly as high as you can. When you get above Dalaran, you lose the spirit mount and drop in the city. I went as close as I could to the Violet Citadel because once you drop into the city, you need to go to the right of the stairs leading up to the Violet Citadel (as you're looking up the stairs). In the small graveyard there beside the Violet Citadel is a Spirit Healer.</p> <p>Log out, log back in.</p> <p>Get resurrected then go to the Silver Enclave and leave your hearthstone.</p> <p>I just completed my Coin Master Achievement. Man, it takes forever to get all those coins and I must have fished up every other coin at least four times, and some five or six times, before I got Archimonde's Gold Coin.</p> <p>:-D </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/gold-coins-in-the-dalaran-fountain#post-7204 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:40:39 +0000 Gradiago 7204@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Did the drop chance change for gold coins? Or does the chance for gold coins increase once you have collected all the silver and copper ones? Last night I got the achievement in 15 min, I was missing 2 coins. Two other people got the achievement during that time. I was catching 3 or 4 gold coins every 2 minutes, this never happened before. I was used to have the "lucky" buff up only part of the time fishing there, now I was catching more gold coins than I could use! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat/page/3#post-6438 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:38:20 +0000 justicehand 6438@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I posted about a month ago with stats. I had to reload WoW last week and lost my fishing buddy stats in the process. But I finally caught the sewer rat about 5 minutes ago doing the fishing daily. I had quit trying to farm him and decided I would just do the dailies and if I got him ...cool. After doing the jewel of the sewer daily about a dozen times in the last month I got him. So, it took me around 3250 casts at the cantrips and crows area to get it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/update-the-dalaran-fishing-guide-found-new-item#post-6212 Wed, 13 May 2009 23:45:56 +0000 Strife 6212@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I fished the "Reinforced Crate" and "Crystallized Water" from the Dalaran Underbelly, which is not listed as a fishable item from the following page:</p> <p><a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/dalaran_fishing.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.elsanglin.com/dalaran_fishing.html</a></p> <p>Just wanted to let you know! </p>
