For one thing, when I first logged the quest and saw that I was in Org without aggro, the first thing I thought was "Hey! Now I can fish up Ol' Crafty!" (I had gotten Fishing Diplomat long ago.)</p> <p>At that time I did knock off Ragefire Chasm, and had Saunders logged in PhOrg for the longest time, racking up cast after cast-- 1500 by my tick-mark count of stacks of fish thrown away. Then I hearthstoned, intending to return at some future date and get that dang rare fish. (I tried the Crocolisks in the City trick, but it didn't work; although I could catch Ol' Crafty, he was unlootable.)</p> <p>Now, I file a lot of reports. Goldspammers, deadvertisers, bugs, etc.; and I'm polite about it, so when I interact with a GM, it's a decent experience. I filed one a little while ago, chatted with the replying GM, and was told that there is now no fishing in PhOrg. I went in with another chara and the GM was right. I could also not get into RFC. I'd further suspect that the Elders don't show up there, or if they do are nonresponsive.</p> <p>Moral: If you find something like this, drop erverything and do it with all your charas, because you never know when it'll go away. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar/page/2#post-7085 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:52:44 +0000 Narinae 7085@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Odd, I tried to get into Ragefire when I was in phased Org months ago but couldn't get in. (I don't remember whether it gave me some kind of message or if the portal was just inert.) That's great for Alliance though :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar/page/2#post-7074 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:26:20 +0000 jothman 7074@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>You can complete Fishing Diplomat in phased Orgrimmar.</p> <p>I did it as of Sep 13, 2009 patch 3.2.0 (10314)</p> <p>Obtain quest "Fate, Up Against Your Will" to enable you to enter phased Orgrimmar.<br /> Obtain Stratholme daily fishing quest "Crocolisks In The City".<br /> Go to Orgrimmar and fish. Your loot window will show empty for each cast UNTIL you catch the baby crocolisk. The baby crocolosk will show as a "normal" catch and when you loot it, you will receive the achievement Fishing Diplomat.</p> <p>Note:<br /> I have fished in phased Orgrimmer both with and without the Crocolisk iIn The City quest in my log.<br /> My loot window always came up empty except when I caught the baby crocolisk.</p> <p>I fished maybe 100 casts and did not see hide nor hair of Old Crafty. Everyone says you can not catch him in phased Orgrimmar, but since I got Fishing Diplomat I wonder. I have seen no official Blue pronouncement that you can not catch Old Crafty in phased Orgrimmar.</p> <p>BTW, I was able to complete the following two other achievements in phased Orgrimmar.<br /> Explore the entire Durotar zone - leave and enter Orgrimmar by south entrance.<br /> Ragefire Chasm instance</p> <p>Good Fishin' to you </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar/page/2#post-6970 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:43:31 +0000 Narinae 6970@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Are you sure it was phased, Usagija?

I am proof! I caught Old Crafty in 7 casts while it was phased at max fishing, no lures. My boyfriend was also there to witness because I was slightly disappointed in how easy it was. I could have just logged there. I then proceeded to do the Ragefire Chasm achievement just because I didn't want to waste the opportunity.</p> <p>Strange, like francislam44 I caught it 04/09/09, maybe it was bugged? But Crocolisks in the City was not the daily for that day. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar#post-6348 Mon, 25 May 2009 17:40:02 +0000 suutar 6348@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I tried this last night. I got the port to phased Org, watched the scripted conversation, and then before turning in the quest step I ran out to try to fish. I could cast, and the bobber would jump, but when I clicked, I got no fish and no message. I did get a skillup, though. *sigh* Oh well. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar#post-5141 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 16:35:58 +0000 Talathan 5141@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>heathisrael <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-crafty-still-fishable-in-phased-orgrimmar#post-4177" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>"Phased Orgr" ...the epic quest chain in Dragonblight that ends in the cinematic...after the cinematic, you go to Ogrimar to talk to Thrall.

I just got the quest after the patch, and fishing in phased Orgrimmar didn't even give me The Fishing Diplomat.

The 11th and 12th, both events will be active.</p> <p>That being said, I'll be on a unit sponosored marriage retreat (US Army) from the 13th through the 16th. So I'll be trying to do all the elders before the 11th, so on the 11th and 12th I can focus on the Love achievements.</p> <p>That being said, I thought about the phased Orgrimmar for old crafty, and I don't know why it'd make a difference. It took me quite a few more casts than 500 in a non-phased orgrimmar, so don't give up just yet. The quest chain only takes a couple hours to complete, and if you have all the other elders you can fish up til the 12th, run through the quest chain, and get your orgrimmar elder (and the undercity one) for the elder achievement completion. </p>
