[Fishing] Baby Crocolisk Daily - Not restricted to SW

  1. Cornuthaum <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    It is apparently possible to catch the Baby Crocolisk from The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge.

    I was bored (4am and I couldn't sleep), so I decided to go level the fishing skill of my Hunter some more (who, through luck and divine providence had gotten my 2nd Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat from the Crocolisk daily quest a week before).

    To my surprise, the first catch I made in the Forlorn Cavern turned out to be the baby crocolisk, me not being aware that I had actually accepted the quest two days ago with my Hunter (but forgot to do it, thanks to frustration overwhelming me).

    However, I am aware of the old adage 'Screen or it didn't happen!'.

    Question: The question is whether all racial capitols are viable places to go croc'ing to (provided, of course, that they have fisheable plots of water) or not.

    I apologize beforehands should this information have come up earlier, but alas, it's 04.41 and I think my brain is currently oozing out of my left ear.

    edit: As luck would have it, the daily quest reset brought about another round of Baby Crocolisk anglin', and since I follow the school of 'I do it because I can', I went and tested if I could catch it from Ironforge once more.

    And yes, I could

    That's new to me. Thank you.

    The question of whether it can be found in other capitals is indeed an important one. And if it can be found in all capitals (at least those with fishable water), where else does it appear?

    I got the Crocs in the City quest today, so I decided to test this out. I grabbed the quest with my druid and headed over to Darnassus. He still needs some fishing skill, so I figured this was a good chance for him to get in some practice.

    Shadowfang pulled in 75 successful catches within Darnassus without a baby croc showing its sharp little teeth. I then headed over to Stormwind and caught my baby croc on the third cast. So whatever this glitch is, Darnassus does not seem to be a part of it.

    I'm not quite sure I'd count it out just yet - I've gone more than 150 catches in Stormwind before pulling the croc.

    Well I have 2 375 fishing nuts and did the quests on both one morning. then I thought I would try something. I got on my 70 Pally with fishing skill of only 157 got the quest and went to SW. I was surprised I could complete it on him as well. Of course this got me me started and now I have 2 fishing fools at 375 and one at 353 and getting closer to max

    I got the same this past week. The best part of this is that not everyone knows it. The canals in SW are packed when this mission is available. The cave in IF is usually deserted.

    Next time this is the daily and I get the chance to do it, I'll head to the Undercity to see if it is possible there. Will let you know. If it IS possible in Undercity, I'll give Thunder Bluff a try as well. Will aim to not give up before 200 casts, each location.

    EDIT: Tried the Undercity [the least likely Horde city, since it has a few "exclusive" fishing catches, plus is not on the same continent as Orgrimmar]. Two hunred catches, a stack of sickly fish, three "old teamster's skulls," and no croc. Next will try Thunder Bluff [same continent, no "exclusive" catches].

    EDIT again: Thunder Bluff, 200 casts, again no croc. Then headed to Orgrimmar and caught it on the second cast [grins]. So far, it looks unlikely that the Horde can fish it up in multiple capitals, unlike the Alliance.

    Out of curiosity, I fished in the little pool right outside the Mystic Ward...sure enough, 4 or 5 casts in, I had a Baby Crocolisk on the line.

    Just got to 70 and am enjoying flight around the outlands. I got this quest today and, having read this, went and threw in a line in the wading pool in the mystic ward in IF, where I tend to hang out. Much to my surprise, I got one on my first cast. This was great for me since I still tend to get lost in Stormwind, being a dwarfish person. :)

    I thought I had read something a few weeks back about this so I tried the daily in IF. First catch I got the baby crocolisk.

  11. Vicromano <Angler>, 12 months ago:

    Yesterday was the Croc fishing quest on Kilrogg, I went right to IF and the very first cast was the baby crocolisk. ;o)

  12. Tezuix <Angler>, 11 months ago:

    since patch 2.4.3 i think i was they made it so the daily fishing fish (except shrimps) were caught first catch and every catch if not looted

    so next time the quest comes up i will test all the capital cities (other than IF SW and org) (horde and allience)
