It's interesting that sometimes you can catch gold coins shortly after each other and have the lucky buff for 20 minutes and after that you hardly catch them for hours.
[Fishing] The Coinmaster
I didn't have any real issues with any gold or silver coins, but man, Inigo's Copper Coin... that one coin took me three hours to fish up. There was another guy fishing there that arrived shortly after I'd finished Silver and Gold, and he just needed Sylvanas' Gold coin.
He caught Inigo 7 or 8 times while we fished. I caught his Sylvanas twice.
Finally caught my Inigo's and went to do my Kalu'ak dailies before the daily quests reset; came back an hour later and this guy was still fishing for Sylvanas. I landed and exclaimed about how he still hadn't caught it; when he finished that cast, he got the Coin Master achievement. (He thanked me for coming back and being his good luck. I didn't have the heart to point out that I'd been there for three hours previous and it didn't help! :D)
woohoo
caught one of the 2 golds i needed last night
Teron you will be mine!!
(someday)I had a problem with my last gold coin too (Kel'Thuzad's).
The achievements for silver and copper coins date to 11-18-2008 on my character. The gold coin achievement dates to 12-15-2008. Nearly a month to catch one coin and I fished nearly every day for 30 minutes, sometimes more.
On the bright side, the very same day after getting done with the coin master I went down into the sewers and caught the rat after about 10 minutes. Compensates a little for the extreme painfulness of the coin master.
It is frustrating when you see people fishing next to you and catching that one last coin you need over and over. :(
Finally finished my coin master today. Needed Thrall & Jaina's gold coins & King Varian Wynn's silver for aaaaages, then got all three within about an hour today! Next on the agenda is to get that damned sewer rat!!
WOOHOO!!!
LAst night 3rd cast got teron's goldie (last one) and got the nice duo slam achiements. The five guys fishing all typed "............." I told them i had been trying forever lol
FInished it last night. WOOH! I have to say, this wasn't as bad as, say, One that Didn't Get Away. Incidentally, I only need the Fishing Extravaganza for Salty, now.
The thing that CAN drive you mad is the idea of that one, solitary coin you're missing. Typically, fishing for something rare means fishing up crap until that one, solitary lucky moment... Think of the Fountain that way. I.e., whether you're fishing up another gold coin is irrelevant, you're waiting for that one specific gold coin you want. (Well, other gold coins are only relevant in terms of giving you a buff.)
I love the Rare coin you get at the end of this... Totally useless, except that it gives you a /roll 2 with style. :) And it's pretty unique and different, which is what fishing is all about!
