All I can say is... Man. I'd kill for that luck. XD</p> <p>I did have a few lucky spurts, fishing wise. I caught Old Crafty in Orgrimmar my first few casts there trying to level my fishing... Unfortunately, I was trying to fish as quickly as possible and ended up recasting before I could accept the fishie. :(</p> <p>Once my fishing was high enough I started to do the fishing dailies, and my first quest was the Crocolisk one, and I got Snarly my first fishing daily ever. I was pretty pleased.</p> <p>Also got a rare fish my first attempt trying to win the Stranglethorn event. All I really wanted was the fishing boots, which I got as well, but at least that took away one more achievement I have to do.</p> <p>Currently working on getting my Giant Sewer Rat, but not having a lot of luck with it. I think it's run out. :-/ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4576 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:06:12 +0000 zimm 4576@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I feel a little guilty getting everything so easy when there are people who struggle to ever get it done, there are even some guildies i have who try to win the competition unsuccesfully every week.</p> <p>But then i remember how long I spent on my old main, entering the competition every week for months, trying for mr. pinchy, farming essence of water in bay of storms back in vanilla wow, and i feel less guilty about it :P </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4570 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:48:29 +0000 Leny 4570@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Wow you are lucky.......ive had bad luck on all of the stuff XD<br /> took 2 mounths of dailys to get all 5<br /> Im at 79 dailys and still no hat / croc<br /> over 1k catches and no herring<br /> took me 9 hours for the coins<br /> bad luck at contsets and on pinchy....<br /> Only have good luck on rat (only took 500) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4566 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:17:31 +0000 Shimarenda 4566@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Congratulations, Zimm. </p> <p>To answer your question, I have not been so lucky. It took me 5 days of fishing to catch the Dark Herring and probably about 3 months of making a round of the lakes in Terrokar to catch Mr. Pinchy. I did catch 2 rare tournament fish in one day though. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4564 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:36:25 +0000 Utopia 4564@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ok,now I'm going to cry.......gz on the unbelieveable luck :)</p> <p>Btw,think of 6 numbers between 1and 49 for the lottery for me ;) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4563 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:04:35 +0000 Azaguth 4563@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Wow...grats man. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/can-anybody-beat-my-luck#post-4561 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:31:03 +0000 zimm 4561@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Pre WOTLK, i played a warlock, and basically completed every fishing achievement, got every rare item, and had total maxxed out fishing.</p> <p>I rerolled death knight for wrath of the lich king, and basically i've been avoiding fishing for months, because the thought of going for those rare drops, mr. pinchy, trying the fishing contest again, it was just too daunting for me, I couldn't bear the thought of going through it all again. I trained fishing in december after levelling, and fished up old crafty in orgrimaar by using the crocolisk in the city quest trick, but apart from that i hadn't even picked up my rod.</p> <p>This sunday - i had nothing to do, so i took a deep breath, and thought to myself - i'll make a start. I started fishing in ironforge trying for old ironjaw - got 200 fishing and nothing. Looked at the time and saw it was an hour till the fishing competition - and thought to myself - i may as well go and see if i can get myself some boots or a hat.</p> <p>I got to stranglethorn vale, and had a quick look for a pool of junk to get the find fish book since it makes it easier - found one, got the book, set my hearthstone in booty bay and got started. I have NEVER been so lucky with tastyfish schools. As the contest started, i had 4 pools around me right at the start, every catch was a tastyfish, and within 20 minutes, i had my 40 fish, hearthstoned, and won the competition with 215 fishing.</p> <p>Now - i was pretty happy at this point, having completed what i thought would be the toughest hurdle on my first attempt. I went to nat pagle, took and completed the artisan fishing quest, and then went back to ironforge expecting to max out fishing while getting ironjaw. 10 casts later - ironjaw was in my inventory.</p> <p>Realising there wasn't much more I could do, i went and levelled fishing a little bit in stormwind, to see if i could get a 1 ring. This was the only point that I was unlucky - i got to 315 fishing, no ring. But i wasn't that bothered - there was no related achievement so it didn't really matter.</p> <p>I went to bed on sunday happy, not much more to say than that.</p> <p>Monday night i was busy with my guild in Naxxramas, finally got 'The undying' title in naxxramas and my new 310% speed mount. Didn't really have time to do any fishing, but i decided that since i had tuesday free i would try to do some more constructive fishing.</p> <p>Tuesday - I started dalaran coin fishing. With 315 fishing. I had to go down into underbelly and get underbelly elixirs quite regularly, which was a royal pain. I probably spent 3 hours in total, but by 1am i had every single coin - i got the three achievements in a row, didn't even have to wait long for my last gold coin.</p> <p>Wednesday morning - I decided to go and fish some highland schools in the morning before work. Third pool i fished in - first cast - was a Mr. Pinchy. First use gave me a magical crawdad pet. I went to work happy, and when i came home from work - I decided to try for 'The one that didn't get away', it being the only hard fishing achievement i had left.</p> <p>I spent maybe, 20 minutes in total fishing in pools of herring before i got the dark herring - at this point i was in utter disbelief. I spent the rest of the night cleaning up all the easy fishing achievements, and now i'm just missing one daily quest for Old Man barlowned before i get my salty title. I managed to catch up with my old fishing main in just 4 days of fishing, with minimal effort.</p> <p>Has anyone else ever been incredibly lucky like this? I just had to share it because i'm honestly still in disbelief. Here's my armory, you can check the date of the achievements: <a href="http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Jaedenar&#38;n=Zimm" rel="nofollow">http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Jaedenar&#38;n=Zimm</a> </p>
