I told her if she got it before I did (I was 500 casts in at that point) she was out of the guild.....I lied....but I hate her lol Petre on "Old Ironjaw in 42 min" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-42-min#post-839 Sun, 11 May 2008 11:41:16 +0000 Petre 839@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ My lowbie Paladin alt (lvl 26) caught Old Ironjaw in, no kidding, 5 casts in the mage pool. This after it took Petre over 600. Then I maxed her fishing while waiting on rez/rebuffs for our Vashj attempts. A pretty successful evening, even if Vashj didn't go down.

I strolled thru the main gate (well hauled butt actually) and avoided all but two of the guards on the way to the lake in the cavern. I doubt if anyone will ever find the two bodies on the lake bottom. I started fishing, and after about 80 or so, told myself I would go to 400 catches and then call it quit for the day. I really didn't expect to catch him the first trip. The 365th fish I caught was Old Ironjaw. And earlier in the day I visited the Darkmoon Faerie fortune teller. She told me, and I quote, "You will find something exciting tomorrow. I caught Old Ironjaw shortly after midnight.

(I am aware this is a typo, this has been a subtle hint) Yohaun on "Old Ironjaw in 42 min" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-42-min#post-829 Fri, 09 May 2008 16:17:57 +0000 Yohaun 829@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ OK you guys have got me too interested in this. This Tauren is sneaking into Org. Ironjaw will be.....MINE!

Granted, my server hasn’t gotten that quest very often, but with four characters doing that quest each time and some of those taking nearly 20 casts I’ve yet to see any off hand fish of any type. *shrugs* So I don’t think the drop rate is exactly high.

I fished at the very back of the Forlorn Cavern with a few Potions of water walking, all the Allies just rode right by (there was actually only 5 or so) without seeing me, I think about 3 of them were the same paladin but I'm not sure... I got killed a few times going in though, and being in the guild <Bringing Down Ironforge> didn't help the peace negotiations... My dad, on his draenei was beside me for some of it, 5 or so casts in, he gets Old Ironjaw, he wasn't quite as elated as I was, and I had to rez under his Elekk a few times, and all those night elves were jerks, but it was worth the time and effort. I even got "Guildy of the Day" just for getting in there alone. I may write a more "roleplay-y" version of this, then pass it in for extra english marks, keep your eyes open. gremda on "Old Ironjaw in 42 min" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-42-min#post-818 Thu, 08 May 2008 18:51:04 +0000 gremda 818@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Woot! Finally got the *%^*&! It only took 1078 catches. BTW, I don't think fishing in the Great Forge works anymore. I tried for fun a couple of days ago and I got the message about my cast not landing in fishable water. Now I have to work up my courage to go after Old Crafty...

You could probably make your way around one of the pillars there that would be hard for someone trying to kill you to get on. Alternatively, you could fish in the forlorn cavern, its unlikely that a lvl 70 would go back in there since there are only lowbie quests and rogue/warlock trainers. Don't even try to fish in the pool in the Mage district if you're horde. The portal to IF from shattrath drops right next to it.

While fishing after Old Ironjaw i have to fish inside of Ironforge right? Like in that cavern? Theres also a small pond outside mages where they portal. But only inside Ironforge it really says Ironforge on your minimap. Oberweiss on "Old Ironjaw in 42 min" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-42-min#post-810 Wed, 07 May 2008 15:18:35 +0000 Oberweiss 810@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ For allies fishing in Orgrimmar, you may have an easier time fishing from in the little waterfall (Northwest corner) at the other pond in the Valley of Honor. The pond in the Valley of Spirits is where Horde is sent to by using a mage portal or the portal to Orgrimmar in Shattrath. There will be considerably less traffic in the Valley of Honor. Additionally, it may help to do your cross-faction city fishing while /sleeping. The lower profile may help hide you, and possibly help you avoid combat altogether if passersby think you're dead already. Does anyone have any similar recommendations for fishing in Ironforge? Petre on "Old Ironjaw in 42 min" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw-in-42-min#post-808 Wed, 07 May 2008 02:19:53 +0000 Petre 808@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I've caught both, and I have to admit that fishing in the orgrimmar will be much easier than fishing in Ironforge. In Orgrimmar you can fish up by the mage/priest trainers out of sight of passersby. Ironforge will be much more difficult. If you're horde, that is.

P.S. I think I'll leave Crafty for later, he's to crafty for me, and being in my faction's own city, it'd just be too easy.

I had casually done so before, but didn't really try very hard, and gave up to do other things after a few minutes. This time was different though, this time my plan was to stay committed until I caught this elusive beastie. 42 minutes and 40 seconds later, I see green text, and to my amazement, I've done it... Old Ironjaw is mine! Total fish caught: 91 Next up, <a href="/fish/?s=Old Crafty" title="Fish Finder - Old Crafty.">Old Crafty</a>!
