(There is one post here about what people have gotten from Mr. Pinchy, but it's not useful for getting statistical information about Mr. Pinchy's wishes out of it. There is also a post on Thottbot, but that post is also difficult to read and get statistical information out of) While the possible results of Mr. Pinchy's wishes are well known and documented on this website as well as others, there seems be no information on the statistics (i.e. results) of the 3 wishes. Personally, I'm trying to get the elusive status symbol that is the Magical Crawdad Box (on my alt Bradd) and have yet to see what the chances of getting it is. In the spirit of the Daily Quest Fish Catch Rate, I was hoping people could post the results of Mr. Pinchy's wishes. </p> <p>Posts should be formatted in the following format (for clarity's sake): </p> <p>Mr. Pinchy #: Wish Result 1, Wish Result 2, Wish Result 3</p> <p>If you've caught multiple Mr. Pinchy's, please post the results for each Mr. Pinchy's wishes separately. (If you forgot what all you've gotten, just start with whatever Mr. Pinchy number you're currently on)</p> <p>Wish results should be posted as the following: </p> <p>Benevolent = Benevolent Mr. Pinchy<br /> Furious = Furious Mr. Pinchy<br /> Gift = Mr. Pinchy's Gift (Containing Mana &#38; Healing Potions)<br /> Pet = Magical Crawdad Box<br /> Blessing = Mr. Pinchy's Blessing </p> <p>On Deathxtreme, my results were: </p> <p>Mr. Pinchy 1: Gift, Benevolent, Pet</p> <p>I'll post the results of Bradd, my alt, later tonight after I make my third wish... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-did-it-i-did-it#post-408 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:32:45 +0000 Longhunter 408@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught Mr. Pinchy last night SWEET!

I just maxed out fishing mid last week. I did the fishing contest in STV for the first time yesterday. I fished up my 40 fish and realized that I forgot to set my hearth to BB. Thank god I was very close and just rode in and won. Also got the rare fish that gives the +5 line. I was pretty happy.</p> <p>This morning I log in and decide to go after Mr. Pinchy. Got him on my second pool. And got the pet on the first wish :)</p> <p>Hope everyone can feed off my luck a bit.</p> <p>Z- </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-lake-erenoru-without-a-flying-mount#post-1001 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:22:59 +0000 Gummo 1001@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I have seen a few people who have gotten to Lake Ere'Noru without flying (the lake behind Allerian Stronghold) to fish for <a href="/fish/?s=Furious Crawdad" title="Fish Finder - Furious Crawdad.">Furious Crawdad</a> and <a href="/fish/?s=Mr. Pinchy" title="Fish Finder - Mr. Pinchy.">Mr. Pinchy</a>, but I haven't been able to duplicate this feat (see <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-did-it-i-did-it#post-666">here</a>, <a href="http://thottbot.com/v2895022">here</a>, <a href="http://keredria.blogspot.com/2007/09/flight-form-fishing.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://thottbot.com/v2887155">here</a>)</p> <p>I've found the path from the Arrakoa village to the lake, but I can't get over the last ridge to reach the lake. Some mention needing an epic mount, but I couldn't do it even then. Does anyone have more detailed advice on getting there? It's possible the terrain has been changed in a recent patch to prevent this.

However I know that I was rewarded (or WOULD have been, had I the space) something that would require a slot because I not only heard my toons voice emote but the message on the screen in red displayed "THAT ITEM DOESN'T BELONG IN THAT SLOT" (would of been a little bit of a differen't message had the only free slot been an enchanting materials ONLY bag". This means I either missed out on the Gift, or a magical crawdad (which THANK ELUNE I had already gotten from my previous Mr. Pinchy1)</strong></p></blockquote> <p>I just wanted to let everyone know, when you use Mr. Pinchy HAVE BAG SPACE. </p> <p><strong>A GM WILL NOT HELP YOU GET WHATEVER YOU DIDN'T AS A RESULT</strong></p> <p>It was obvious I wasn't out for something rare for free since I already HAD the magical crawdad. A second one would of been bound to me and pointless, so I wouldn't be contacting a GM to make it seem that's what I didn't get and try a weasle one from them. The only thing I was really wanting actually and the whole reason I contacted a GM anyways was the gift of health and mana pots. Why? Wrath had JUST been released, and I was BROKE spending all my money on uping my new training extensions so It would of been nice to get some extra mana and healing pots before I braved northrend. The GM said first to wait and let them check my records as to what it was, and then a few minutes later told me "Sorry unfortunately there isn't a record and we cannot do anything".</p> <p>The world isn't over, and I'm not QQing TOO much, but I just thought I'd give those out there a pre-warning in advance, especially to those who haven't been gifted the pet yet :) What a loss that would be cause of a simple mistake like dumping your bags! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/mr-pinchy-is-the-devil#post-15 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:36:57 +0000 Regirumm 15@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Every weekend I go out to Sketis and the other two lakes and mass produce over 300 Crawdads .

I read all the information, but sadly I was missing something. Maybe I didnt read carefully enough. </p> <p>I checked all three pools (with find fish), and fished all the highland mixed schools. But none of them are respawning, which makes me kinda stuck. :) There is the respawn timer between 30-90 minutes - but is there a way to continuously(? i dont know how to write it exactly) fish pools (with a "downtime" of 5 minutes or sth.), or do I have to wait for 30 minutes sometimes (which would make me go away and do several other tings).</p> <p>In short:<br /> Is a waiting period of 5 minutes for new pools possible, or is it alway sth like 30-90 minutes (presuming(?) that you can fish all pools without disturbance)?</p> <p>greets<br /> smoo </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-engineers-can-get-to-lake-erenoru-to-fish-for-crawdadmr-pinchy#post-1203 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:06:26 +0000 Gummo 1203@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I still can't climb up over the last ridge, so as an engineer I just blast my way over:<br /> <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-ULaNw2jc'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-ULaNw2jc</a> </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/bug-with-mr-pinchy#post-464 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:27:05 +0000 Teisemanden 464@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hey fellow anglers.</p> <p>So, i was just doing a little bit of 'fun fishing'. you know: nothing to do, look for some highland mixed school. and dang, i catch Mr. Pinchy.

Only one of five wishes would actually interest me (healing/mana pots, which I turn into Injectors on my Engineering alt). My bank is bloated too, so I won't have enough space to keep it as a token of fishing pride. </p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
