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. </p> <p>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. </p> 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/ <p>I have a couple more tips to make this a little easier.</p> <p>1. If you are a hunter, Aspect of the Beast makes you untrackable so you won't need any camouflage elixirs.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> 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/ <p>this little fishy is proving realy hard to fish up..<br /> i already got over 2200 catches and still no ironjaw..<br /> i got 4 green pants(lol!) and a green sword but no ironjaw..<br /> (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..)</p> <p>gl to every 1 trying to fish this little basterd. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-7062 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:22:36 +0000 Jindar 7062@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I spent three hours one night (and two gankings, both Night Elf Warriors) trying to get Ironjaw with no luck.</p> <p>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. </p> 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/ <p>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! </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/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. Wanted to kick myself. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-quick-story#post-5767 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:30:56 +0000 Antonine 5767@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Congrats! That's one the the tougher, more interesting catches out there (mainly due to the PVP element)</p> <p>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. </p> 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/ <p>Me: Magtheridon-US Horde<br /> Where: Ironforge<br /> When: 3AM EST 24 April 2009</p> <p>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.
