[Fishing] Crafty, Ironjaw, and the baby croc

  1. Rixx <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    I'm looking for input from others, and maybe for some people to help test this out.

    I've noticed a trend with the baby croc fishing daily. 3 times in the last 2 weeks people in my guild have caught Crafty on the first catch with their baby croc. I know the change to the fishing daily being on the first cast, but I find it pretty interesting that 3 people got Crafty on their first cast while having that quest.
    2 of them haven't even been trying for Crafty, the other had been fishing for days for Crafty and just happened to get it after he had the quest.
    I'm in a relatively small guild, and not many people do the dailies, so the %s are actually kind of high when you think about it.

    It seems that Crafty, and maybe Ironjaw have an increased drop chance when you have that quest. Maybe it's just first cast, maybe not....or maybe it was just really really really random lucky chance.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    I think this will only apply for hordes and thus Crafty. Alliance need to fish up the baby Croc in Stormwind, so it doesn't really make sense if there is a difference between having the daily in SW and fishing in IF or not having the daily in SW and fishing in IF.

    There is more detail in this topic. Having the Baby Crocolisk daily quest seems to increase the catch rate of Old Crafty to about 1/10. This lasts until the Baby Crocolisk is in your inventory. The pattern for Old Ironjaw does not appear to be the same.

    This is a known bug/exploit

    The bug is if you have the quest and catch the "baby croc" and Ol' Crafty (horde) when you hit "loot this item" you get credit for the Achievement, but the item is not found in your inventory.

    The exploit for this bug is to get the quest, and delete the baby croc in your inventory and keep fishing. Your chances for getting Ol'crafty go from 1/2000 to about 1/10.

    This works for alliance as well, but does not work cross faction because the "quest" is different for alliance and horde. So horde don't get an increase chance to fish up Old Ironjaw with this bug.

    As to date this has not been fixed. 11-01-08

    Is the bug completely tied to just crafty? Could it possibly increase your chances of any others such as pinchy or the heavy fish?

    Wouldn't make sense. The baby crocolisk and Old Crafty can both be fished up in the same city. So, fishing somewhere else with this daily shouldn't increase your chances.

    This worked like a champ this morning (11/2/08) since our daily was the croc quest. I rode into Org (as alliance). Died once from guards, rezzed and fished at Valley of Spirits. I kept throwing away the Croc every cast and on my 7th cast I got the croc AND Old Crafty! Wooot!

    I've been sitting in org a while now, do you NEED to be in a raid or something? Closing in on 100 fish.

    EDIT!
    120 later, old crafty. o.o

    EDIT!!
    20 casts in IF, Ironjaw. Are we sure it doesn't apply to him too? o.o (been more than 1k overall over time though, been trying off an on for a while now)
