[Fishing] The Wrathgate and fishing in Orgrimmar.

  1. Kahless <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    I saw a hint about this mentioned somewhere but I thought I'd start a thread on it here.

    So I finished the Wrathgate quest line in Dragonblight today and I'm doing the followup quest "Fate, Up Against Your Will"
    This quest sends you to Orgrimmar on a diplomatic mission to speak with Warchief Thrall.

    At first I though I was instanced since there are Guards but they don't attack and there are no other NPCs or players.
    Turns out it's the real Orgrimmar, just "filtered" using some new mechanic that Blizz has added to the game.
    Other players can't see you and you can't see them unless they are on the same quest.
    NPCs that you can see are altered by the quest.

    The upside is you can fish in Orgrammar as long as you like without guards or players attacking you.
    I will not turn in this quest until I have caught Old Crafty.
    With a little luck I may catch the really big catfish while I'm at it.

    I cast a line during that quest too, and I agree, fish can be caught. Same during the Battle of the Undercity (although there is no reason to). If you do manage to catch Old Crafty, please post a confirmation.

  3. Kahless <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    I was worried at first that I might not be able to catch old crafty in this way but my fear was removed when I realized it was the real Org and not an instanced copy.

    I will confirm WHEN I catch him. I fully expect to.
    So far the loot table looks exactly the same.

    Once I start the wrathgate quest... I think I am going to pick up the crocalisk in the city quest or try to and then go to Orgrimmar and see if I can get both. :D

    I would like to get something to display in my header here at el's Anglin'! And I have been fishing since day one. I just always fished from nods to get the fish and treasure.

    :D

    Oh well. Got to start somewhere.

    Confirmed!
    I finally caught him today while in Org under the quest.
    Easy Fishin', No Ganking. Takes some of the fun out of it but certainly makes it alot easier.

    Probably something to add to your cross faction fishing FAQ.

    I left Org last night and did my dailies this morning, then I was able to return to Org by porting back from Stormwind. Just talk to Jaina Proudmoore in SW Keep and she'll port you back.

    ahhh so this is the quest BattleMoose was talking about in the other thread about Old Crafty. Dang, I'm Horde, so this quest won't help me catch Old Ironjaw in Ironforge :(

    There wouldn't happen to be an equivalent for Horde that will let them go to IF unflagged? *wishful thinking*

    Edit: I found the details on the Horde followup quests to the Wrathgate line.
    No free trip to IF for them.

    I also caught Old Crafty in the 'filtered' Orgrimmar of the Wrathgate chain yesterday.

    Confirmed. I caught him today - took 959 casts. I also confirmed with a GM if this was possible and legal.
