WOOH! I have to say, this wasn't as bad as, say, One that Didn't Get Away. Incidentally, I only need the Fishing Extravaganza for Salty, now.</p> <p>The thing that CAN drive you mad is the idea of that one, solitary coin you're missing. Typically, fishing for something rare means fishing up crap until that one, solitary lucky moment... Think of the Fountain that way. I.e., whether you're fishing up another gold coin is irrelevant, you're waiting for that one specific gold coin you want. (Well, other gold coins are only relevant in terms of giving you a buff.)</p> <p>I love the Rare coin you get at the end of this...

The gold coin achievement dates to 12-15-2008. Nearly a month to catch one coin and I fished nearly every day for 30 minutes, sometimes more.</p> <p>On the bright side, the very same day after getting done with the coin master I went down into the sewers and caught the rat after about 10 minutes. Compensates a little for the extreme painfulness of the coin master.</p> <p>It is frustrating when you see people fishing next to you and catching that one last coin you need over and over. :( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster/page/2#post-3543 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:30:46 +0000 Dethwolf 3543@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>woohoo </p> <p>caught one of the 2 golds i needed last night</p> <p>Teron you will be mine!!<br /> (someday) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster/page/2#post-3538 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 07:38:45 +0000 Arithin 3538@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I didn't have any real issues with any gold or silver coins, but man, Inigo's Copper Coin... that one coin took me three hours to fish up. There was another guy fishing there that arrived shortly after I'd finished Silver and Gold, and he just needed Sylvanas' Gold coin. </p> <p>He caught Inigo 7 or 8 times while we fished. I caught his Sylvanas twice.</p> <p>Finally caught my Inigo's and went to do my Kalu'ak dailies before the daily quests reset; came back an hour later and this guy was still fishing for Sylvanas. I landed and exclaimed about how he still hadn't caught it; when he finished that cast, he got the Coin Master achievement. (He thanked me for coming back and being his good luck. I didn't have the heart to point out that I'd been there for three hours previous and it didn't help! :D) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster/page/2#post-3530 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:24:53 +0000 Csirke4 3530@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's interesting that sometimes you can catch gold coins shortly after each other and have the lucky buff for 20 minutes and after that you hardly catch them for hours. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3524 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:42:32 +0000 moose 3524@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So I'm a cute little gnome flipping my coin in Dalaran and along comes a big giant Tauren and he starts flipping his coin too. We stand around emoting at each other for a while. Funny how you can make friends over a silly little coin. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3482 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:24:05 +0000 Volrax 3482@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I got all the silver coins before all the coppers. I had been fishing for a couple hours and I was only missing Arugal's coin, when a guildie asked for help with a group quest in Grizzly Hills. I tagged along, and who were we there to kill? Arugal, of course. After we killed him, I ported myself back to Dalaran, and caught the last gold coin in fairly short order. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3474 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:44:23 +0000 BigFire 3474@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Took me on or off about 6 hours to get the achievement. The big problem are the griefers who need to demonstrate their lack of life by jumping into the fountain with a vehicle type mount and block the view of everyone's lure. Now that I have my coin, my next objective is the rat. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3449 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 19:09:18 +0000 Kanobi 3449@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I had all but one gold coin within 4 hours of fishing, and then an additional 2 hours before I was very discouraged not getting that dopey Argual's gold coin (after I got all other gold coins at least twice). It was the very last coin before that wonderful Salty title, and after seeing how anxious and disappointed I was getting, my girlfriend suggested "what if you move just a few feet away and try fishing??" I figured it wouldn't make a difference but I did it anyway, and lo-and-behold, the very NEXT cast, what do I fish up???? Argual's Gold Coin!!! To all those anglers out there, just hang in there. You'll get that title and the congratulations soon enough. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3382 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:30:52 +0000 Senthea 3382@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Dethwolf <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3376" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Sigh<br /> 2 gold coins to go since i hit the wall..ive gotten each gold coin again..just not the 2 i need =(<br /> Guess I'll just hug my rat and keep trying</p></blockquote> <p>I'm in the same boat, have 2 gold coins left... caught all the others at least 3 times (some even more then 10 times...) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3376 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:49:12 +0000 Dethwolf 3376@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Sigh</p> <p>2 gold coins to go since i hit the wall..ive gotten each gold coin again..just not the 2 i need =(<br /> Guess I'll just hug my rat and keep trying </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3353 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 08:37:04 +0000 Utopia 3353@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Finally got thrall's coin last night,and with it the fun of casually flipping my titanium seal :D<br /> Had to pretty much fish up every copper coin over again by the time i finally landed it though,and at one point there were 7 of us all fishing at once,so I couldn't even take my eyes of my bobber to read guildchat.<br /> The only thing holding me up from being salty now is winning the extravagan(k)za.....this may take a while ...... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3351 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:55:24 +0000 Loafer 3351@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>If you can get several people to fish in the same fountain and all throw in simultaneous gold coins, the odds get better. Kind of hard to tell how many had active gold coins at the same time, but with five fishing in the same tiny fountain next to the trainer, I was getting about 80-90% coins for a minute or so. Happened repeatedly when there were a bunch fishing at the same time. Biggest drawback is the hassle of trying to watch your lure with that many lures in the same pool. Couldn't rely on the sound at all. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3350 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:51:17 +0000 Cryo 3350@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>missing thrall's too. today i will take time, gain thralls coin and with it the salty title </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3340 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:14:32 +0000 Leonie 3340@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I wasn't going to go to Dalaran until I could get there under my own steam, but I have been leveling slowly and a Warlock guildie was making an event of pulling us all in ...</p> <p>I tried fishing the fountain for the first time last night. I don't use add-ons, so I have no stats, but I was there for probably three hours, on and off. What struck me was the behavior. Fishing (STV fishing comp aside) used to be a bit genteel, but I observed all kinds on people rolling up and parking *on* other players, and non-fishers were delighting in "griefing" us by thrashing about in the fountain while mounted on Kodos or Mammoths or purposefully passing between the anglers and their lures.</p> <p>Is this usual on a PvE server? It was like a Gnome turned up and pee'd in my moonwell :( </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-coinmaster#post-3123 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 06:06:23 +0000 Oakthorn 3123@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Thrall's gold coin was the second or third gold coin I caught.

The final gold came up about 1/2 hour later. </p></blockquote> <p>It took me a bit longer, as I did not fish consecutively (here and there in between questing and guild 5-man runs). But I did wind up needing only 1 copper, 1 silver, and 4 golds after a few hours' worth of fishing. Then I got both the copper and the silver within a few minutes of each other... and then another half hour to get three of the four gold coins I was missing. It took another couple of hours before I finally got that last elusive gold coin (Arthas', wouldn't you know it!) </p> <p>Now on dungeon runs, I'm being asked to flip my seal to decide whether we take the left or right path ;) </p>
