They added the Hallowed end Headless Horseman items to the treat bags, so might have increased other achievement chances as well.</p> <p>I caught my first ever Mr.Pinchy on 21st, and even that I don't have exact counts, I think I've fished approx 2000 fish from "highland" pools. But on the other hand, I haven't caught Ironjaw yet, with almost 1000 catches. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/upped-drop-rates#post-1983 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:29:48 +0000 foladar 1983@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I fished up a Pinchy early yesterday too. I'd been fishing for him for awhile, though just while doing dailys really. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/upped-drop-rates#post-1978 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 22:54:04 +0000 Thander 1978@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I agree it's just more interest in the subject now. People have caught these rare fish before. It's just most of them were worthless before. (Don't even sell well because of gold farmers). I'm still sticking with Bay of Storms for a while. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/upped-drop-rates#post-1964 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:32:57 +0000 Hunulululu 1964@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Okay i just went to Try today on the Mr. Pinchy and in about what was it 10 cast or more i got 1...

I've been fishing for almost 3 years but didn't pay ALOT of attention to the profession. I won the STV tourney and was first person on my server with Magical Crawdad, but other than that I just fished to get food buffs for raid. It wasn't until achievements came out that I really started researching the rarest fish mainly via this website which has been a tremendous help. I didn't even know what an Old Crafty or Old Ironjaw was until about 1-2 months ago. Thankfully though due to this site I got the heads up and fished up Crafty before patch, now there is always a bunch of horde sitting around fishing in Org. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/upped-drop-rates#post-1956 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:28:15 +0000 Balazar 1956@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's possible.

Even Reports of frequent Old Crafty Catches?</p> <p>I'm wondering .... </p>
