[Fishing] increased drop rate for croc minipets?

    On warcraftpets.com, the news section suggests an undocumented 3.2 change is an increased drop rate of the croc minipets. Has anyone had better luck?

  2. Leny <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    I saw a comment on warcraftpets.com that said "I just got toothy and the person in front of me just got muckbreath"

  3. Sjiulk <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    Indeed, I've had 100% drop rates for these pets. Crocs in the City has been the daily for three days in a row; on my druid I got a Chuck and 2 Snarlies, and a Toothy on my shaman. Being honest, it kind of takes the fun out of it. :( But I guess Blizz wants people to get the pet achievements.

  4. KHSebastian <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    Yeah, I got a Chuck yesterday. So did my friend, and another friend got a Snarly.

    Got Muckbreath 2 minutes ago.

    Takes the fun out of it? I've been doing the croc quest every time it's come up since 2.4 came out. Pretty sure I've wrung all the Fun out of it already. I'll just be relieved to not have to use the shatt portal every day, once I get the last 2 crocs on my main.

    I have done it every time it has come up on 3 toons since it started. I have gotten 4 buckets, 3 of which were the same one on the same toon. I think the drop rate always stunk.

    Yes it takes the fun out of it.... I wanted the bucket pets because they were unique. The entire server wasn't running around with Bucket pets. I wanted to be one of the few to get them all... But no, now everyone and their mother will have all of them...

  9. GormanGhaste <Low Sodium>, 3 months ago:

    well I would hope their mother will have all of them--how would you feel if you were missing some of your babies? :) I can tell you my hunter pet, Krikey, is pretty upset!

  10. Gladlyn <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    I disagree, as many times as I have done it I believe I should have been able to get more than one bucket each on 2 toons. I have put in the time and I should have gotten the drop.

    Glad

    I hope this is true! For 2 weeks the dailies have been shrimpin and felblood fillet primarily, with the other non-crocolisk daily thrown in occasionally. Not a single crocolisk in the city and i've been dying for ANY baby crocolisk pet!

  12. Huenninjarin <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    The croc pets have not been a 100% drop for me since 3.2. The daily has come up twice since then. My warrior and hunter, who both had 3/4 pets before the patch, have not gotten another croc from the reward bag. However my priest and mage who had never gotten a croc both got one from each daily.

    Edit: Druid got a second (soulbound of course) Toothy bucket, no croc for hunter. So the drop rate has been increased substantially anyway.

    Consolidated post-3.2 data for me and my spouse:

    attempts: 10
    baby crocs: 5
    non-duplicate crocs: 2

    9 Aug: alt got new pet (now have all 4 crocs btwn both my toons), spouse got a duplicate pet and a new one
    10 Aug: duplicate pet
    18 Aug: no pet
    21 Aug: duplicate pet
    31 Aug: no pet
    5 Sep: no pet, spouse no pet

    I'm having problems with that daily, I never seem to get it, altough I've been doing the fishing dailies since begin july.

  15. Renetta <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    Glad they did it. I hope they will nerf the turtle/crawler too eventually. It's harsh to see people running around having done less than a quarter of my catches and have both and for all I know I may well be trying without luck until they nerf things down to something sane.

    Or if they finally implement the progressive luck algorithm for rare fish drops as well... that'd work too.

    I had Chuck for a long while but no other croc yet. Still waiting for the daily to pop here.

  16. Suzi <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    I've been doing this quest on my main since it was first implemented and I got my first Croc pet (Snarly) after the patch. Another friend got his first Croc pet (Toothy) and someone else tried to his first but it wasn't his lucky day.

    I'm sorry for everyone who feels that an increased droprate takes the fun out of it but as a pet collector it really made my day to finally get one.

  17. Thalen <Salty>, 3 months ago:

    Got one on both my toons today (first time it's come up since patch day). Another fisher in my guild got it on 3 of his 4, so it doesn't appear to be 100%, but still very high.

    I don't mind the upped drop rate, since the quest is so random. Sometimes you go weeks without seeing the thing, and then a very small chance at the pet makes it annoying.

  18. Rayak <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    I love that everyone can get one now! I don't feel the need to be special and have pets that everyone else doesn't have. Yes, I want *all* the pets out there, but I don't really care if everyone else ALSO has *all* of the pets out there. Doesn't bother me in the least. :D

  19. Usagija <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    I was a little disappointed at how easy it was to get. I have gone back to fishing (after hiatus of despair) for 3 weeks and the Crocolisks in the City daily hasn't shown up until today, and I won Toothy. Too easy!

  20. Leieia <Angler>, 3 months ago:

    Chiming in to say the drop rate was 100% for my fishing partner and me. He got Toothy; I got Muckbreath.
