Hi I was fishing up coins in the eventide or whatever it's called in Dalaran when suddenly i pulled up a giant sewer rat...
this clearly is not the underbelly, and is in fact the opposite side of the city,
anyone know what gives? and has anyone else managed to fish it up there?
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 1 year ago:The boundaries of the fountain are poorly defined. Sometimes if your cast lands "in" the brick at the side, the catches are the same as those from the Underbelly.
be interesting to see who pulls the first rat out of the fountain lol
wow im dyslexic and dumb.. *cringe*
thanks El =) i did notice the brick thing, and i also noticed that behind the waterfall and rock in the middle have the same catches as the bricks... i assume this would be the same as the underbelly...
however it must have a lower drop rate as you can catch coins from these areas and I'm the first to report a rat in the fountain (correct me if i'm wrong) but hundreds of people have been fishing up coins for days and no rat, however the rat seems to come easily to those who fish in the underbelly?
and teariki don't put yourself down xD easy mistake to make =D
Is this something they may have snuck into tuesday's maintenance?
I got my sewer rat this morning from Eventide as well. i didn't think to screenshot it till a few casts later, but fishing buddy recorded that cast in Eventide.

edit: and now that i think about it, it seems natural FB would record it as Eventide since that's how it shows up on my map label ( which i'm presuming is how the labeling system works)
the labeling system works by where you are standing rather than by where you are fishing... if the border between two places is right where you're fishing you can be fishing in one and standing in the other and it will record where you are standing =)
also i doubt they put it in matenance, because if you fish around northrend you will notice they have become acutally VERY sloppy with fishing in general and all the fishing achievements are bugged in some way or other. so i think that it is just another case of this.
I have already caught the giant sewer rat and was fishing in the Dalaran fountain to finish those achievements off. While doing so, I actually caught a sewer rat from the fountain, though I cannot say whether or not it was actually close to the walls of the fountain. However, I can say that many of the casts that were near or on the edges of the fountain were nabbing up underbelly fish.
I like to think this is a deliberate bug. It's isn't of course, but it would be just the sense of humor Blizzard has. It would make for a Hell of an Achievement: Catch the Giant Sewer Rat from the Dalaran Fountain :)
