[Fishing] Old Ironjaw AND Old Crafty... at **Level 5**

  1. NastyPope <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    I no longer remember what motivated me to do this, but last December, I decided to take my level 1 Draenei Shaman, Slöth, get her to level 5 (the lowest level at which you can learn fishing), and then attempt to get both Old Ironjaw AND Old Crafty before reaching level 6.

    I caught Old Ironjaw - TWICE - within my first 100 skill points, on 27 Dec. 2010. The details of getting into Orgrimmar at level 5 (multiple times, as I did have to train all the way up to Illustrious Grand Master) are unimportant, as I'm sure everyone has their stories, but over time, I fished at three different spots. The third spot, in the Goblin Slums, got me the least attention and harassment from Hordies, and is where I finally caught Old Crafty today, 12 Nov. 2011, with a fishing skill of 474.

    Now, I'm sure I'm not the FIRST person to ever get both achievements at level 5, but I'm sure there can't be many who've had the ambition (or boredom) to do it.

    Okay, out of boredom while waiting for the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby to begin:

    The first time I made the trip to Orgrimmar, in order to keep from getting too much experience, and leveling up to 6, I paid way too much to have a warlock and 2 other 85s fly to Orgrimmar and summon me. Shortly after that, my girlfriend got the 2-seat rocket, so every time after that, I just had her fly me in.

    I know I could have just paid to turn off experience, but I consider that cheating. ;)
