I was very surprised and exited, and when I went to brag to one of my WoW friends they said, what is Old Ironjaw? XD </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/4#post-7463 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:06:14 +0000 Noom 7463@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Believe it or not, I actually caught Old Ironjaw on my SECOND cast ever!! </p> <p>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. </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-in-4-casts#post-7310 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:31:19 +0000 Meemo 7310@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's odd isn't it, I got Ironjaw on two low level alts within five minutes of each other and still don't have it on my main!! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-4-casts#post-7308 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:39:40 +0000 Shreda 7308@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Took me about 30 mins to get (although I didn't count casts) I still don't know how I'm gonna get crafty... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-4-casts#post-7307 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:39:49 +0000 Runne 7307@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Posting here since this is the newest thread for it. I just caught Old Ironjaw in about 250 casts. I had caught him once before, way back before achievements in 5 casts, but hey, atleast I got him. So glad itididn't take me forever. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-4-casts#post-7293 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:28:20 +0000 Kovlish 7293@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Went from Fishing 254 to Fishing 378 while fishing for Old Ironjaw. I don't have a tracker, but I'm tired of catfish and mud snapper. I estimate I caught over 900 fish as well as 8 lesser healing potions, 2 17-pound catfish, 1 19-pound catfish and a [ Pattern: Colorful Kilt ]. I also noticed I had about a 1% no hit rate on the bobber. All total this took two days and about 4 hours of fishing. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-catch-iron-jaw-for-horde#post-7141 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:04:06 +0000 jeraz 7141@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>m8, you probely dont beleave me but you have no idea how long i have been fishing for this little ****. i have around 4,5k catches in ironforge(cant show screeny of fishing buddy because it reseted 1 week ago) and still no ironjaw... i catched 6 greeny's and like 10 19pound catfish..<br /> but i'm not giving up.. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/how-to-catch-iron-jaw-for-horde#post-7139 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:41:59 +0000 Tequilla6 7139@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>If it were not for the posts here I would have given up on this one long ago.</p> <p>I finally caught him this afternoon after having to clear my bags twice of fish.

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/catching-ironjaw#post-7028 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 12:10:37 +0000 Al 7028@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hey, Lily. </p> <p>Your main's not on Kilrogg is she? LOL! I had just that experience some time back with my dwarf, Al, who already had max fishing at the time. Grinding for Old Ironjaw, I was chatting with a 70 who was just starting to level her fishing and who caught Ironjaw right before my eyes. </p> <p>I was happy for the player, but just worn out with fishing that time. I DID get Ironjaw the next day ... and then caught him again two days later doing the crocks quest. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/catching-ironjaw#post-7026 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 04:10:22 +0000 Jindar 7026@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught Crafty on my 12th cast ever...

I did it also in multiple times. but I was really glad when I finally caught it though. Had numerous casts also, dont know for sure how much, but it was a bunch. Just keep trying, u will catch it eventually.</p> <p>The one in Orgrimmar ( dont mind spelling) was pretty fast catch for me. had it within an hour or so. But it's all just luck.</p> <p>GL catching :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/catching-ironjaw#post-6924 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:20:58 +0000 kalamari 6924@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was wondering do I have to cast 500+ times in one sitting to catch him? I only have enough time ti maybe get like 250 or so casts before I have to do something else. </p>
