So make sure you have 1 bag slot before trying for the pet if you need it. If your bags are full and you should get the pet it'll be a wasted wish. Yes this did happen to me and because there was no mail I'm sure it was the pet that I missed.</p> <p>I have never gotten a mail for the gift, but there are many many credible reports that this one will be mailed to you. Not sure why they decided not to mail the pet :/. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/just-and-fyi-about-mr-pinchy-and-when-you-cast-him-for-your-wish#post-3935 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:19:46 +0000 Luiniel 3935@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>piya <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/just-and-fyi-about-mr-pinchy-and-when-you-cast-him-for-your-wish#post-3931" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>*tips* for those fishing named or special BOP fish:<br /> turn off the auto loot function. you CANNOT loot a fish of this type in this manner.

Since there are posts that one can have multiple Mr. Pinchy's i would be interested to test this theory...</p> <p>*tips* for those fishing named or special BOP fish:</p> <p>turn off the auto loot function. you CANNOT loot a fish of this type in this manner.

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>
