I was level 40 and it took a lot of determination, but got to the pool after ressing lots. Once there the best thing to do regardless of level is /sleep. Passing alliance give you a bit more of a chance seeing you laying down. Also if you are a hunter use beast mastery. Got him in 1200 casts with little armour on. If you don't get him straight away try 3 hour slots.. that way you don't go crazy from trying too much! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-6782 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:50:33 +0000 Fracs 6782@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This lucky lvl 72 orc just got him in 28 casts. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/crockolisk-quest-mystic-pool-in-ironforge#post-6099 Fri, 08 May 2009 01:27:22 +0000 Delauney 6099@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I noticed a few days back that I couldn't fish from that pool anymore.

I've caught many a crockolisk here - even got one that got me a pet (Toothy) - but today I had to fish in the Forlorn Cavern to catch anything. There seem to be no fish available in the Mystic Pool at this time. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-quick-story#post-5781 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:34:59 +0000 jsz 5781@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think they removed the confirmation box in 3.1 or somewhat recently due to people missing fish. I missed Old Crafty twice before I got him due to casting immediately after reeling in.

What you do as Horde is run into Ironforge then into the Great Forge. You must jump into the NORTH-WEST lava pool, not the South-East <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=1537:475415">(Map Link)</a>(maybe I'm just noob, but I spent half an hour looking in the the SE one). You then swim to the large wheel, hugging the wall. When you enter the gap between the wheel and wall, start jumping. Keep walking forward until you stop taking damage, then you can start fishing. Just a side note, make sure you take off all titles when you start fishing. This just makes your red name less noticeable. </p> <p>DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU ARE THERE, IT WILL BE CONFUSING<br /> If you face straight toward the lava, your lure tends to fall behind the wheel, causing you to turn your camera to try to spot it. There is a way to reduce these events. It's sorta confusing, but I'll try my best.<br /> If you look to the wall, you will see a pillar-looking drawing on it. Position yourself slightly behind this, then turn yourself slightly toward it (I'm a shadow priest, so this part's easy). The best angle to be is looking very slightly to the left of this pillar. If you do it right, all your casts will land in a place you can easily right click, you will, however, have to click cast a few times, as "Target is not in Line of Sight" will prevent you from casting. This is the best way I can describe it, sorry.</p> <p> 337 <a href="/fish/?s=Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper" title="Fish Finder - Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper.">Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper</a><br /> 125 <a href="/fish/?s=Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish" title="Fish Finder - Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish.">Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish</a><br /> 116 <a href="/fish/?s=Raw Brilliant Smallfish" title="Fish Finder - Raw Brilliant Smallfish.">Raw Brilliant Smallfish</a><br /> 1 <a href="/fish/?s=19 Pound Catfish" title="Fish Finder - 19 Pound Catfish.">19 Pound Catfish</a><br /> 1 <a href="/fish/?s=17 Pound Catfish" title="Fish Finder - 17 Pound Catfish.">17 Pound Catfish</a><br /> 2 <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=858">Lesser Healing Potion</a><br /> 1 <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3385">Lesser Mana Potion</a><br /> 66 Fishing Levels Gained<br /> 7 Hours<br /> -----------------------------------<br /> 10 Achievement Points</p> <p>Yes, It was worth it :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/3#post-5027 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 06:19:56 +0000 UABMaddog 5027@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have to admit that some characters are just lucky.....</p> <p>I created a character to sign some bank guild charters.....</p> <p>Decided to go ahead and level him a bit, and of course fish.</p> <p>Went to IF to level fishing.....hoping for Old Ironjaw (OIJ)....to 150.</p> <p>While fishing I was chatting with some fellow angler, and at 0130 server time I caught OIJ!

The best place to fish in IF was in the lava around the Great Forge. You could jump in, find a small ledge, and fish away without anyone daring to come after you (its guaranteed death). </p>
