Yeah. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know all these nifty tricks when I got my Old Ironjaw. Took me 2832 casts to catch him. The one that I discovered later was the instance trick. Queue up with a buddy, and don't leave party after you run through the instance. Then you can simply teleport to the dungeon whenever you have some player agro. </p> <p> I fished for like 18 hours, getting pwned, and frustrated and I'd log out. On my server, It's alliance heavy, and they didn't much like me fishing there. Not to mention my close friends in vent all had level 80 alliance toons.... And they thought it was FREAKING HILARIOUS to swoop in and pwn me really fast. Sometimes, they'd just stand on my bobber.... Or they'd roll a noobie alt Gnome, and call themselves a "Crotch Gnome" and just stand at my crotch (I was a blood elf at the time)</p> <p>I really did enjoy catching that fish though... I wish there were more rare fish achievements to be honest... It's a thrill fighting off a swarm of people with your fishing pole... </p> <p>Sometimes my friends and I would fight there for hours... I'm a lock, and my friend is an Enhance shaman. He has a fetish for pvp. As did I back then. So we'd just fish and fight all day. &gt;.&lt;</p> <p>Happy fishing to you, sir! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-the-fishing-diplomat-and-the-horde/page/2#post-10589 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 03:35:11 +0000 Badunkadunk 10589@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught Ironjaw on my DK long ago in the lava of Ironforge. Went there today with my pally, trying to do the trick of standing behind the wheel and fishing again... turns out lava is no longer fishable :( jumped on an old ally toon to confirm. So only one other good spot in ironforge, that cove lake thingy, try the sleeping trick again i guess. On my server, the alliance refuse to give a fisherman a break though, and i have lumps from 5 different alliance toons on my head to prove it... hate getting pwned by 5 toons lol, but what do you expect i guess, this is just a game and i am in their city lol</p> <p>in short, no more fishing in lava </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/baby-crocolisk-daily-not-restricted-to-sw#post-10471 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:57:06 +0000 Paxe55 10471@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Crocs in IF verified for ver. 4.2.0 - caught it today with 15 casts! 1 more croc pet in the bag ...

With my lvl 75 BElf Hunter, I used the recommended path through the front entrance. After several corpse walks, I made it to the back of the pool and lay down.

Here are my stats:</p> <p>Time: 24min (3:12 Server Time)<br /> Casts: 80<br /> Starting Skill Lvl: 280<br /> Rod: Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (+25)<br /> Lures: Bright Baubles (+75) x3<br /> Loot: Longjaw Mud Snapper x53<br /> Bristle Whisker Catfish x13<br /> Brilliant Smallfish x12<br /> 19 Pound Catfish x1<br /> Old Ironjaw: x1 :D<br /> Ending Skill Lvl: 295</p> <p>All in all, a productive night.

That's where I caught my Ironjaw and while it's *highly* visible, it might be a temporary reprieve from the people camping the cavern. Another suggestion would be to find a friend who has an alliance alt or the space to create one and ask them to sit in IF (while on vent or something) to keep tabs on what's happinging in general and trade chat concering your fishing endeavors. If you have two accounts and a decent computer you could even do this for yourself. Good luck! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-help#post-9272 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:59:49 +0000 Torture 9272@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>For me server time was key, as a rogue it's easy to get in IF unnoticed as you know. I'm on an est server time so I found that fishing around 5am was good as not many were online, during a weekday of course. Use an Elixir of Camouflage to avoid hunters having you pop on their screen and keep your stealth button ready at all times; for me I did that and used both sprint glyphs so you can not only sprint away while stealthed on top of water but you can do so quickly so you don't get killed in the process, wait for them to leave and continue fishing. If you are being camped just trying again at a later time is the best you can do really, good luck and grats on your stv win. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-help#post-9271 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:30:47 +0000 Stalyn 9271@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I can't fish for Old Ironjaw to save my life. There is at least 1 Level 80 coming into the Forlorn Cavern every minute, it's definitely not an unpopular place as you said. I get ganked after like 10 casts into the water by at least 5 level 80s, who then continue to camp my corpse.

Just got into IF at 4am, No deaths at all as yet!! Had to put my computer on mute because everytime the periodic lame cheesy Ironforge music kicks in I can't stop laughing! - Expecting incoming gankfest but hopeful today's Alliance will be gentle with me. 260 Casts and nothing unusual bar a bloated snapper that coughed up a malachite.

I hope not, considering what a joke it is to fish in orgrimmar on most servers. I went to IF with our raiding guild back when the server was balanced and we held it a couple nights, but the constant crap going on really slowed the actual fishing down.</p> <p>Usually a fair number of alliance know about the lava spot, but nobody ever checks unless there was a recent sighting. Best way is to go there on a character, die close enough to rez in the lava, then rez inside the wheel and log out at the spot to come back after the ADHD lose interest in a couple zone warning messages.</p> <p>Bringing some anti-tracking potions for a long haul is probably overkill, but can't hurt. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-8066 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:31:51 +0000 Wooly Bay 8066@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Spent 9this time) about 2 hours in the cavern..(mostly rh clicking and ignoring a slew of ID-10-T's in trade chat...but it finally happend !!!</p> <p><a href="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/mareak/ironJawCaptured.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l151/mareak/ironJawCaptured.jpg</a></p> <p>This in combo with my winter saber tiger mount, the water element pet from higher learning, Mareak is a happy dwarf nower days !! </p>
