That seems like luck.

Alliance turned up a couple of times but I just logged and returned after a cuppa - after all, I came to fish not fight ;) Flew sraight in through the main gates and picked up a trail of guards, lol. I did die once, but made it all the way to the cavern before that happened, so when I res'd I was fine. Caught at 3:30am with the Bone Fishing Pole. adfgnomas on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-10100 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:42:55 +0000 adfgnomas 10100@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I wasn't very lucky: - spend about 210 minutes to catch Old Ironjaw. 860 casts: Raw Brilliant Smallfish - 136 Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper - 535 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish - 182 17 Pound Catfish - 1 19 Pound Catfish - 2 22 Pound Catfish - 1 Lesser Mana Potion - 2 OLD IRONJAW - 1 aiyaisugarhi on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-9915 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 12:02:22 +0000 aiyaisugarhi 9915@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ 12-30-2010 I decided to go for Old Ironjaw for the first time today. 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. Luckily, since it was the middle of the night, there were no Alliance players around. Here are my stats: Time: 24min (3:12 Server Time) Casts: 80 Starting Skill Lvl: 280 Rod: Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (+25) Lures: Bright Baubles (+75) x3 Loot: Longjaw Mud Snapper x53 Bristle Whisker Catfish x13 Brilliant Smallfish x12 19 Pound Catfish x1 Old Ironjaw: x1 :D Ending Skill Lvl: 295 All in all, a productive night. I think I'll go make some attempts at Old Crafty before I turn in. Best of luck!

Two days, 495 fishing (max + Arcanite Fishing Pole w/ +5 Line), sometimes used a fishing hook or worm for 595 skill. Stayed within the Cavern. Actually had neat bags so I kept track of my stats. 263 - Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper 93 - Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish 66 - Raw Brilliant Smallfish 1 - 19 Pound Catfish 1 - 22 Pound Catfish 1 - Old Ironjaw Too Many - Missed catches due to distractions 425 Successful casts, two days of hours of casting. And now, I shall seek out Crafty...

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. Loving that you can still read your faction's tradechat even in Alliance cities! Maybe I can order in a pizza! I'll be sure to let you guys know how I get on!! :) The Zerg on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-8112 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:01:08 +0000 The Zerg 8112@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Did they ever nerf the lava wheel fishing method? 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. 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. Bringing some anti-tracking potions for a long haul is probably overkill, but can't hurt.

I had gone to get the initial fishing training from the trainer in Ironforge, bought the most basic rod (not even the "strong" one), turned around to begin levelling my fishing and bam! I got the achievement. Guildies congratulated me on the hours and hours it must have taken me to catch him but in fact I had only been fishing for a couple seconds with that toon. But you know how it goes... I've also spent hours and hours trying it on a different toon and sure enough, nada! So I guess it all evens out in the end. Gnarsh on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-7346 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:05:45 +0000 Gnarsh 7346@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I have a couple more tips to make this a little easier. 1. If you are a hunter, Aspect of the Beast makes you untrackable so you won't need any camouflage elixirs. 2. Get a druid friend from the opposing faction (or one of your own toons if you have two accounts). Have them sit on top of you in bear form and you will all but disappear. Using Baby Spice or some other shrink effect can help, too Have them turn on any titles they have to help hide you. Some players might be a bit perplexed at the sight of a fishing bear but with a little luck, they'll move on without looking too closely. If you don't have a druid friend, an ogre suit from Dire Maul should work just as well. I've only had time to do a few hundred casts using this method but I plan to return to Ironforge soon to resume my attempts on Old Ironjaw. jeraz on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-7063 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:20:39 +0000 jeraz 7063@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ this little fishy is proving realy hard to fish up.. i already got over 2200 catches and still no ironjaw.. i got 4 green pants(lol!) and a green sword but no ironjaw.. (my friend got it on 2 chars, 1 did it in 45 min and the other took from 1 to 35 fishing skill when he cought it..) gl to every 1 trying to fish this little basterd.

Next evening I logged back in, expected more fruitless hours of casting. After greeting my guild, one of them said "good luck with your fishing!"... and I caught it the very next cast. aliazon on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-7031 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:37:18 +0000 aliazon 7031@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I found it easiest going for him at a low lvl. 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!

I missed Old Crafty twice before I got him due to casting immediately after reeling in. Wanted to kick myself.

That's one the the tougher, more interesting catches out there (mainly due to the PVP element) Took me a week with almost 5,000 casts to snag mine. The hardest part was keeping your senses keen, as you needed to watch for the confirmation box. jsz on "Old Ironjaw quick story" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-quick-story#post-5766 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:17:05 +0000 jsz 5766@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Me: Magtheridon-US Horde Where: Ironforge When: 3AM EST 24 April 2009 I caught him in exactly 60 casts. I'm a rogue, so I stealthed into The Forlorn Cavern, the city was essentially empty so I had high hopes. I did /sleep to conceal myself as much as possible, and began casting while talking on guild chat and watching [2. Trade] fly by. I was just about to hearth back to Dal and hit the hay when BAM, up comes Old Ironjaw. Just wanted to tell my story.
