New fish added to the The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge.

Anyone know if there is a fishing skill requirement for this? If not, a low level could camp by that place and fish all day long to vendor them in...

okay this thing is nuts. bout as low a droprate or worse than the one ring. i spent 3 hours uninterrupted fishing from 4-7 in the morning and got everything but Ironjaw. over 500 fish caught.

good luck to anyone who catches it. i'm goin back though. :P

Seems like both these fish have a very low drop rate.

But I did find something out about them.
1.) They are not rare spawned pools (ie a single fish in a pool named old ironjaw). I thought that after catching around 300 fish with no luck. So having the track fish book will not help you at all.
2.) They can be caught in The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge for Old Ironjaw or in Org for Old Crafty.
3.) There is no logic behind them, they are just very low drops. They are not like spawned mobs.
4.) Caught 300 Mud Snappers, 150 Catfish and 80 Smallfish before I got my hands on one.

I always thought it was rather unkind of Blizzard to deny Ironforge fishing pools. All the horde cities have them.

Took just under 500 catches to snag this. Im a hordie, so I took a few deaths on my server, Cenarion Circle, but for the most part Alliance left me alone. Like Chav, going for Old Crafty next, and maxing out my fishing skill as well.

Tips for HORDE fishing Old Ironjaw

Fish while /sleeping to look slightly less conspicuous.
Be prepared to click "OK" on a "Looting this item will bind it to you" dialog box. This dialog box appears regardless of whether you're in a group, and if you cast again before clicking OK, you will not loot the fish.
Turn off the display of your title to make your bright red name smaller.
The easiest, most out of the way place to fish from is the Forlorn Cavern. Most alliance traffic will be coming from the West, so fish from the Southwest corner of the Forlorn Cavern. I recommend riding through Stormwind (either through the front or through the new harbor) to take the tram into Ironforge instead of the densely populated front entrance.
Bring some Elixirs of Camouflage. Most of the alliance who gave me trouble were hunters and druids who had track humanoids on. Using this elixir will reduce ganking. Edit: Or, if you are a hunter, you can use Aspect of the Beast (Thanks, Arhippa!)
Have at least 4 empty bag slots; the more you have, the better.
If you are not at max fishing skill, make sure your skill is not capped. You will probably do quite a lot of fish catching, so you may as well get skill points for it.
Be patient! It took me 943 catches to get him, which is about 4 hours of fishing. This will quite probably take you a long time, so don't set out to do it one sitting. If gankers are persistent, be prepared to log out and play another character or do something else.

Good luck!

Seconded. If you are fishing in the Forlorn Cavern. You can /lay while against the far (southern) wall and your whole body will be under the water and far away from most traffic. Plus that area is deserted too, so interruptions are rare.

I sold all my epic gear just to afford more fishing lures.... I traded my guild, sold everything in my bank. I have given up raiding and pvp and now wander the world as a lvl 70 fisherman in blue overalls. Ironjaw and Crafty have both met there ends by my own hands (rather my offhand). My mooncloth bags are overflowing with any kind of fish you could imagine... and they're raw...because one day I will trade in my rod and lures for some flint and tinder. And then i shall forever wander the world (of warcraft) as a Nomadic Cook. Untill then, you can find me chillin with "Natty P" in the marshlands in the Emerald Dream realm. Sometimes if im bored, which only happend once since im so highly medicated, I will go back in time to fish with Pagle in Old Hillsbrad, or hit up Pagles Point inside the Troll City in stranglethorn vale.

Old Ironjaw could beat Old Crafty in a fight any day. Oh and BTW, I'm gonna get this on a twink, either 5 or 19, IDK. Such an end-game epic. Purple in appearance and I'm on my crappy computer from 2000 and the monitor is really dull, so I'm thinking when i get this on my other computer, on my good monitor it will be a very rich purple looking fish on those sides and at the edge of the mouth. But I wish it was a thrown weapon :p. Ironjaw FTW Crafty FTL.

A total of 1218 casts for me.

Have caught both Old Ironjaw and Old Crafty now. Caught on back to back days. Caught mine while water walking. I changed things up and tried water walking, and caught right after using water walking.

Xelestra의 댓글

With patch 3.0.2 and the introduction of an achievement for catching both fish... I highly suspect that Blizzard responded to the constant threat of getting corpse-camped by upping the drop rate drastically on both Old Crafty and Old Ironjaw. I caught both fish in less than 300 casts each on three different characters now, the average being 253.6 total casts.

If you're not one of the lucky ones who can head into enemy territory at five in the morning when the city has 25 total people in it, this (suspected) change is a great thing.

Finally got him after two days, and 261 casts (sure as hell wasn't going to leave until I got him, because I'm Horde and getting in is a pain in the ASS). Agree with the advice to get in through the Deeprun Tram, or else you'll die a few times trying to get to a suitable place to fish.

I feel like I just earned e-p33n +345345.

No lures needed, as it's practically a starting zone fishing area. Just bring a real big drink and some snacks and prepare to slog away at it.

Coolguywithhair의 댓글

I've found the best place, in my opinion, for fishing in Ironforge if you're Horde.

Go to the Great Forge in the middle of Ironforge and either kill yourself in the lava next to one of those big wheels, or keep healing yourself and do what I'm about to instruct those who killed themselves to do. I suggest you un-equip everything.

Run back to the wheel as your ghost, jump down and get underneath the wheel near it's centre, there should be a bit you can't get to underneath there because of an invisible wall. You'll need to try and jump onto this small invisible wall as a ghost and stay there, then go to Interface > Camera and set your maximum camera distance to the highest, then zoom out as far as you can above you so you have a view much like this one

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn295/jonnykewal/superawesomesecretplace.png

Also, you'll want your character to be facing the lava like mine is, if you can see it.

Once you get the hang of it it's easy, and this is the best way to not get ganked although I'd suggest taking some Camo potions so you don't get any hunters on your case. I've made that mistake myself, still fishing for this fish at the moment too :(

Hope I helped.

Negre의 댓글

Coolguyswithhair is right. Here's another SS that shows the spot from another view and is easier to see where to jump/stand.

Telemoto의 댓글

Just found this spot myself. Thought I'd add a couple things.

It's not only a well hidden spot; it's hard enough to target that most of your attackers will fall in the lava...

It can be dropped into from above but alot less reliably than jumping from below.

It seemed to be a bit easier if I jumped facing the wall, then turned towards the wheel and moved forward while in the air.

I seemed to have a very lucky night last night.

As I sat with a friend at the pool out The Mystic Ward. He began to get annoyed as a crowd emerged and began to fish.

Fishing is not my friend, I have 282 skill and since Achievements are around I didn't start to fish till last night. So there I was catching fish and Ding: http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1556

I laughed it off and continued to fish, felt like a noob but oh well that's life. 10 mins later Ding: http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1557

Now I began to get really excited as I only wanted to go onto 100. But to my surprise on the 57th Catch I finally caught Old Ironjaw after spending 20mins there. Yeah my friend was annoyed but come on this was something to post on trade channel, and it was only for a laugh, didn't think I would actually catch him.

Good Luck to those trying, It really is a big achievement.

This will be voted down, but I am at 2899 casts, and still no Ironjaw. -_-

Paitence.. Man this is testing my paitence... lol

rhoymand의 댓글

confirmed working! thx coolguywithhair!

this seems to only work on the southern wheel. while in the lava, stay under the center of the wheel pressed against the wall. try to jump out of the lava; you will hit an invisible ceiling. slowly keep moving left of the center (facing the wall) continuing to jump until you manage to jump out of the lava. when you jump out of the lava move right midair. you will land on an invisible ledge.

I suggest doing it as a ghost the first time. takes some practicing.

sitting on invisible ledge:

I just caught this, took about 70-80 casts. A friend of mine with 17 fishing (when he started) tried to catch it as well and caught 2 with 149 casts.
Perhaps the drop rate has been indeed increased?

Trying to get old crafty tomorrow, hope I don't get ganked too much.

900 fish in the lava, no iron jaw. one '1 ring', 1 healing pot, 1 mana pot, 3 n pounders, and the rest default fish.

Ryxis의 댓글

as horde, i was pleased to see that most of the alliance left me alone, although:

it took me 6 hours of almost contant fishing to get him, in that time a shaman got him within 5 minutes of fishin, a guild mate within 30 minutes and another guild mate within 2 hours

a note for horde, it is now harder to get into ironforge without dying as all the basic guards are level 75 that you can't easily stealth past, and theres also some level ? elites wandering about too, once you get t the cavern i recommend not leaving until you have the fish, its a complete bugger to get back there every day

WinterKnightD의 댓글

For Horde trying to fish up Old Ironjaw, there is now a very easy way to get to Ironforge from Shattrath City.

Today Blizzard started the WLK prelude event with a zombie outbreak. All you have to do is become a zombie and you can take the Ironforge portal in Shattrath City. Once there shamble your way to your desired fishing spot. You will die to guards on the way, but once you die you'll be in the heart of Ironforge with no zombie debuff, leaving you free to pound your head against the wall until you catch Old Ironjaw.

(Un)Happy Fishing!

Easy as a pie even in a pvp server. All they above could help but even most important, do it at 7-9 am when allies are at school :) Just did that ganking free, around 300 catches.

bestonearound의 댓글

My take:

I fished in forlorn cavern on a medium population server. I fished one day from 10am server time to midnight. I fished the next day from about 930am server time to about 11am server time. During this time, I was ganked 6 times, mostly between 6pm-midnight the first day. The second day, I was not ganked at all. I saw three other horde during this time, and they were a help being there since people are less likely to screw with you solo if you have more than one 70 with you.

During my entire time there, I casted 2,042 times before I got Ironjaw. It was a pain, but I'm glad I'm done.

jaxsonbateman의 댓글

It seems that the allies have nothing better to do than grief. I've been killed repeatedly by ranged classes at the wheel, and a few times at the Forlorn Cavern - in my first day alone. Never mind that I'm not trying to hurt them, or kill their NPC's, or impede on their fun - just trying to catch the damn rarest fish in the game.

Due to the location it's in and the rarity of the drop, I dare say this is one of the hardest achievements in the game (for Horde). Unless I got extremely lucky with Old Crafty (160 catches), it's not nearly as rare as Old Ironjaw, and the allies have two pretty decent hiding spots in Org (behind the mage trainers hut, and behind a waterfall near the BG room).

Edit: with the griefing players and the view required to see the lure, you can pretty much tell when they're coming. Only a stealth druid or rogue could avoid this, but then, it's incredibly difficult to land on the wall without hitting the lava first, revealing their position, and bringing them into melee range anyway. As soon as you see a player take any sort of action that looks like they're coming to attack you (approaching the guard rail, or going around the machinery to get LoS on you), start to logout. You can't logout mid combat, so you have to do it prematurely. If they stop, feel free to stop the logout. But if they continue their aggressive actions, just logout and wait 5-10. Afaik if you do a true logout (instead of alt+F4 terminate) you physically leave immediately, so you won't die - though you can't take any action during the logging out, and with V3 dps is very high.

How I Caught Old Ironjaw - In 4 Easy Steps ... (And You Can Too!)

First, locate a friend who has been fishing in the small pool in the Mystic Ward of Ironforge for the past two days, so focused on catching this rare fish that he hasn't slept or eaten since he started...

Second, sit next to him for a few minutes chatting about raids but don't ask him what he's doing (after all, its obvious ... he's fishing!) He'll go into this long tale of The Big One that Got Away when he was bravely fishing the waters of Orgrimmar. Be sure to nod and smile throughout.

Third, decide to increase your fishing skill, currently at 125, while chatting. Besides, he's starting to talk to himself about rainbows and unicorns, so he might need some company. Make a big deal about how you never fish cause it's so deadly dull and it's lucky you even have a fishing pole with you.

Fourth, catch Old Ironjaw on your seventh cast, raising your fishing skill to 130. Act surprised when the achievement banner pops up on your screen. Be sure to look confused when your friend gives you a disgusted look, throws his fishing rod into the pool and walks away.

jaxsonbateman의 댓글

Well with my dismay at my 2500 casts currently failing to yield him, I decided to run the maths.

x = 1 - 0.999^y

Where:
x = the chance of seeing one or more (that is, any outcome but 0) Old Ironjaws
0.999 = the chance of not seeing Old Ironjaw drop
y = number of samples of data

So let's take a look.

After 500 loots (y = 500), the chance of seeing at least one Old Ironjaw is 39.3%. So if you get one in less than 500 attempts, you're pretty lucky.

After 1000 loots (y = 1000), the chance of seeing at least one Old Ironjaw is 63.2%. If it takes this long, you're around the average mark.

After 2000 loots (y = 2000), the chance of seeing at least one Old Ironjaw is 86.5%. If it takes this long, you're pretty unlucky - moreso if you haven't seen it yet.

After 2500 loots (y = 2500; where I'm at now), the chance of seeing at least one Old Ironjaw is 91.8%. If it takes this long and you still don't have it... stay away from casinos; you have bad luck.

After 4000 loots (y = 4000; what I'd consider to be a breaking point for most people) the chance of seeing at least one Old Ironjaw is 98.2%. It's not a certainty, but you would have had to have run over a black cat, causing your rear vision mirror to break, all taking place under a ladder to take this long.

And there you have it. Expect around 800 or so loots before seeing him if are of average luck. The more you fish the more chance you have, but it is *never* a certainty.

Good luck!

Jax

If I remember stats, 1 - ( 0.99876 ^ n ) = p

n = number of catches
p = fraction of players that find Ironjaw in n catches

Plug in your own numbers, I'd estimate players get 180-240 catches an hour, depending on how melted their brains are. I'm at around 1400 myself, half a dozen would be asshats melted to slag by lava. Bottom line, most players won't be able to do this in one afternoon sitting, your character may very well be fishing for days.

Heckler의 댓글

A word of warning: If you have auto-loot on, and depend on it to actually 'loot' your fish when you catch em, this fish (like all other BOP fish) gives a warning box "Looting this item will bind it you" and you actually have to click Yes to pick it up. If you cast your lure again without clicking yes, you lose the fish!

Just be careful, would be a shame to have to catch this sucker twice just because you were in a fishing trance.

got him using coolguywithhair's method after about an hour/200 casts later. i just waited until late at night and tried going into the front entrance, but the lvl 75 guards saw through my stealth so i died about 4 times (counting the lava dive) going in.

with your back against the wall while you're on the invisible ledge you should hold your right mouse button to turn your character, then use your left mouse button to aim the camera to position it so that you can see the bobber.

ithasspoken의 댓글

I'm posting this in hopes that other's can avoid the mistake I just made.

I turned on auto-loot and was trying to cast and recast as quickly as possible to reduce the pain of this endeavor as much as possible. Believe it or not, I caught Old Ironjaw before I even got my "Catch 100 Fish" achievement. Problem is, I was going so fast, that before I even realized I had caught Old Ironjaw, I had already recast my next lure. Old Ironjaw is Bind on Pickup, so you have to click OK on the "Are you sure you want to loot this?" dialog -- which I didn't. Old Ironjaw went back into the water, and I haven't seen him since.

Lesson of my sad tale is to not go so fast that you drop him when you actually manage to catch him. Who knows when I'll catch him again. Good luck to all of you.

Several of my guildmates, me included, got Old Crafty in one cast while fishing for the baby crocolisk quest in Orgrimmar. Now this got me thinking it is not a coincidence, it could be a bug or something, but next time I get that croc quest, (which is available for both factions), I'm gonna go to Ironforge and try to get Ironjaw.

Maybe it won't work, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anyone to have the quest. Who knows, it can prevent you 300 casts and be ganked :)

Got old ironjaw today, after 600 catches in the lava of the great forge. 500 catches yesterday and no luck, today i got it in my 100th catch, a little more lucky than crafty for me...

Now, Mr. Pinchy's time i guess.

I hope you the best of luck with that, you will need it... :/

Edit: In the same night, i got Mr.Pinchy in my 50th try, really faster than i though, and i got the Avhievement completed on the first wish. My lucky day, since i´ve been fishing Mr.Pincy about 300 throws at day, along 2 weeks :)

Make sure you DO NOT move when you get him. You have to click the accept button to loot because he is bind on pickup. I accidently moved when i got him and didn't get to loot him.

Do not make the same mistake as me.

Small word of advice:

If you happen to catch Old Ironjaw, remain calm. Don't do what I did and accidently click your fishing button when the "Looting this will bind it to you" box pops up.

i'm at 2317, i would like to have an achievement "witnessed 20 ironjaw catches", which i would have twice now :(

Just a BIG heads up about the "lava method". It´s an exploit and you could get suspended by doing it.
Tonight when I was fishing in the lava, I suddenly got "warped" out into the middle of the lavapool.
I got a little confused and swimmed back and continued fishing. Then I got warped again.
A secong later I got a whsiper from a GM who wondered if I had some problem with taking orders.
I then scrolled the chatbox up and there had been several whsipers from the GM that I just had missed.
So when I´m writing this´I´m serving three hours of suspension for "Abuse towards GM".

Good luck with the fishing, but stay out of the lava in if. :)

katherinne의 댓글

I read about the lava method and found a slim area from the main forge spot near the turning wheels. After 500 casts in the water... I got him on my fourth or fifth cast into lava.

I don't know why this would be an exploit if they intentionally make lava fishable. It's not like it was easy to cast into the lava, it took several casts each time to get them in a fishable area.

Puffmeister의 댓글

The lavafishing isn´t an exploit. But wallclimbing is, and therefore you will get warned or suspended for trying to do the fishing behind the wheel down in the lava.

MajHunter의 댓글

After well over 2000 casts (mostly in the kiddie pool) I had nothing. I headed over to the lava and caught him in about 20 casts. Not sure if the lava has a higher drop rate or if I had finally beat the RNG.

Bug with Autoloot and Old Ironjaw confirmed by GM 15/11/08

I just caught him (after apx 315 casts) - but the loot pane vanished, no achievement, no fish in bag.

I contacted the GMs just in case, and had a lovely chat. Apparently there is a glitch in some clients that interacts with some addons and renders these fish unlootable if you have Autoloot on.

I thought I'd clicked out and dismissed the loot panel, but I think this was actually a bug. Blizzard are working on it.

Reccomendation is to fish with no addons turned on.

Fished him up today in the lava pool while the town was empty and everyone in Northrend. Seems to average a little more than 1000 casts , or about 4 1/2 hrs. I fished about 500 casts, my partner 500, and he got the fish. He left, so I then fished by myself for about 1000 casts, and up Ironjaw came. Appears counter returns to zero once he is fished up somewhere.

That's like saying that after flipping a coin and having it come up heads, the odds of it being tails next time changes. The odds of you catching the fish don't change with each cast.

However, you are correct that it can take a buttload of casts.

paranoidkiwie의 댓글

Actually that's not what he had written. What he had written is that after x casts, the odds of one of those casts already having been a successful catch was xx%, and made no claim of future odds.

Sticking with the coin thing, what he did was:
x=1-0.5^y
after 1 flip, the odds of having at least one of the previous flips being heads is 50%
after 2 flips, the odds of having at least one of the previous flips being heads is 75%
after 10 flips, the odds of having at least one of the previous flips being heads is 99.902%

Since I didn't fancy in running in and dying. As a mage it's really simple to get to the forlorn cavern without dying.

Just to the right of this NPC there will be a ledge where you can get to the gates of ironforge without having to run along the whole mainway.
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=6181

Since guards doesn't seem to be able to daze when you have shields up. Stand near the ledge, use slowing armor, mana shield and ice barrier if you got. Mount up and run inside. Turn left when you get into the gates of ironforge and run through the mystic quarter and into forlorn caverns. When you get to the water, blink and use invisibility and you'll get there without dying and before the mana shield runs out.

Guards should be slowed so they wont be able to keep up with you. They didn't manage to bash through my shield even with my RP fishing gear on sporting a massive 350 spell power. Then just /lie and have fun fishing from there on. Over 1200 casts and no fish for me sofar.

Tips for Horde players

Well I haven't caught Old Ironjaw yet, but I made it into Ironforge today with surprising ease, so I thought I'd share my tips:

-I decided to hit up the Forlorn Cavern as my spot of choice
-I went in through the front gates of IF, after taking off all my weapons and armor so they wouldn't get durability damage
-I mounted up and just kept running, and actually made it into the Forlorn Cavern before guards knocked me off my mount and I died
-Once I died (with no durability damage =D) I just ran back up. Luckily the graveyard is pretty close unlike Stormwind's
-After I resurrected I threw Aspect of the Beast on so I was untrackable (non hunters can use potions if they like) and then went into the far back corner of the pool there
-You're able to stand on a back ledge, and once I was in position I /lie to lie down. This literally puts your character under the water but you don't get a breath meter. It's as inconspicuous as you're going to get
-After that it's just a matter of patience. I intend to stay until I've snagged Old Ironjaw

This has been the most annoying part of the fishing achievements that I have done so far. I'm up to 1,000 catches in the Great Forge right now, and still no sight of him. Heres what I have gotten though:

612x Raw Longjaw Mudsnapper
200x Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
178x Raw Brilliant Smallfish

3x Lesser Healing Potion
2x Lesser Mana Potion

3x 17 Pound Catfish
1x 19 Pound Catfish

1x Red Leather Bag

All I ask is this post is not rated down since I have not yet caught Old Ironjaw. I intend to edit this post with more information as I make future attempts.

Edit #1: Added 200 more catches onto the previous figures. Still no luck. :(

Lobo2me의 댓글

1375 fish caught and then Old Ironjaw, a bit more than the average.

0.999^x = 0.5
x log 0.999 = log 0.5
x = log 0.999/log 0.5
x = 692.8

That means in 693 catches half of the fishermen will have seen atleast one Old Ironjaw.

Been trying this today myself. I did the dragonblight quest line up to the part where you go to Org. - and then waited till crocs in the city popped up for me in shatt. Went to the clone of Org. and got Old Crafty in about 5-10 mins ( about 30 casts ) - so either I got lucky or it's confirmed.

As for Old Ironjaw, I went to the real IF and just sat at the forelorn cavern casting for an hour with no luck.

Some notes about both locations: You catch a baby croc every time. Having the quest makes it 100% drop rate by the looks of it in IF, SW, and Org. Old Ironjaw on the other hand, might not be affected by the same bug Old Crafty is by having the quest. Just to give you an idea of casts: I went from 387-388 in Org. 388-391 fishing in IF so far.

Some tips: Turn autoloot off, and turn on loot window to mouse cursor. Hotkey your cast line. Get in the habit of waiting 2-3 seconds before pressing the hotkey. Breath easy and be patiant. Last but not least, do this a little bit at a time.

Staying calm and focused is the key to not missing your catch!

While holding the Crocolisks in the City quest and fishing in Org does seem to result in a faster Old Crafty catch, this trick does NOT work for Old Ironjaw. I and another fished over 600 combined casts with the quest on, not looting the crocs, without success.

Fished from both the lava and the Forlorn Cavern. Previous poster just really lucky.

I decided to start fishing a few weeks ago because I want to try to get as many achievements as possible, and I knew fishing would take the most dedication and patience.

I went from 1-314 skill all in Ironforge, but finally found Ironjaw after about 1150 casts.

I did about 900 in the Forlorn Cavern, 50 near the Great Forge, and 100 near the Mystic Ward before finally catching him.

I should note that two of my guildies also had similar luck near the Forlorn Cavern and Great Forge, but all caught him relatively quickly (<200 casts) near the Mystic Ward.

Obviously nobody knows the 'best' place to catch him, and it's more than likely possible anywhere inside houses him, but based on this I would suggest at least starting out near the Mystic Ward as it just may have a higher chance to yield him, and if not nothing bad came of it. :)

Was waiting for a raid to form in IF today and I got bored, so I decided to level my horrifically low fishing... fished up old Ironjaw going from 51-57 Fishing. Pleasant little surprise. Was in the Mystic Ward pool, but it's more likely than not just random chance.

It took me about 2100 catches to get him, don't expect to do this in one sitting, it took me 4 days and multiple sittings, thankfully being ganked was rare.
I fished in the forlorn cavern, rumors of the drop rate being higher in the lava are false, his drop rate is consistant among the three available areas to fish from.

Lures do not help, wearing fishing gear does not help, it is purely luck based, you do not need to be on the fishing quest.

Hoof <Whisperwind> HORDE....

I entered Ironforge via the Tram from Stormwind
I fished in the Great Forge Lava (south lava pit)
I got Ironjaw in 311 casts.
I didn't get ganked once. Some lame hunters tried sending their pets in the lava after me but other than that it was easy sailing.
I did find that having my toon /sit while casting helped avoid having to re-rotate/position him after a few casts.
Also - I can confirm that you can loot the Baby Crocolisk for the daily here if you have the quest.

Was pretty fun all in all - sounds like I had a fairly easy time of it compared to some of you (with 500-1000 cast stories).

Good luck my fellow anglers!

Castaway의 댓글

I started fishing for the old bugger with a base skill of 376. By the time I caught Ironjaw I had just rolled over to 444 fishing skill and it was at or around my 741st catch in the Forlorn Cavern. No man should have to see that many Long Jaw Mud Snappers in one sitting! There are no shortcuts for this fish, I tried 'em all. This is just plain old cast and bobber watch for hours on end. If you are Horde you may never want to look at a rod again if you pull this one off. You are left with a calm sort of serenity afterwards. You feel like theres no fish out there ya can't catch once ya put Old Ironjaw in your bags... after which i promptly slaughtered two ally lowbies and hearthed the hell outta that horrid pit in the side of a mountain!

I also knocked out the 1000 Fish acheivment while I was working on it. Man I hate IF!

Dyskk의 댓글

the spot inside the forge between the wheel and the wall worked great for me as horde! I caught it after about 300 or so casts. No alliance bothered me except one guy who felt the need to make a level 1 alt to complain since he couldn't figure out how to reach me :)

Also note you can't get a camera angle if you fish from the north wheel. I tried for about 10 minutes to get an angle since I saw another horde player in that spot. I assumed the north wheel was fine but I was unable to see my lure. I moved to the south wheel and it was extremly easy to see the lure in the lava. Good luck members of the horde!

Crocolisks in the City!

Before having this quest, i fished up 790 fish in ironforge without catching ironjaw.
I obtained the quest, and without looting the baby crocolisk, i caught ironjaw on my 22nd cast.

Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

Ivoire의 댓글

The "Crocolisks in the City" bug that allows you to catch Old Crafty easily also works for Old Ironjaw. However, it only works on the small pool in The Mystic Ward. This makes it much harder for horde players to do.

I managed to get him on my 10th cast or so and it acted the same way as Old Crafty does when trying to loot him with the crocolisk in your inventory.

despyz의 댓글

I don't believe using the fishing Crocodile daily has any effect on Ironjaw like it does with Old Crafty. I caught crafty on my alliance and horde characters in 2-8 catches; fishing skill was irrelevant.

I caught over 270+ fish on my horde Deathknight in Ironforge with the Croc daily and did not fish up Ironjaw. I tried the Forlon Cavern, the Mystic Ward's pool, and fishing in the lava behind the water wheel. I caught about 200 on my alliance character with the daily in the same areas and did not get him.

To my knowledge the daily quest bug does not work for Ironjaw on alliance or horde - it only works for Old Crafty.

If anyone can prove me wrong and provide proof that would be awesome. If not, prepare to spend some time fishing in Ironforge!

So I don't know if they've changed the drop rates or what.

I'd just like to inform everyone that the daily quest "Crocolisks In The City" has absolutely NO EFFECT on your chances to catch Old Ironjaw. He's just a tough fish to catch.

Don't let any of the above posts fool you into thinking otherwise.

On the bright side, the quest most definitely works for catching Old Crafty!

So... after almost 2 years of sitting on 22 fishing skill I decided to level it since we've cleared all content and I was terribly bored... Got myself a pole and some lures and started in the Ironforge Mystic Ward... Got this baby before I got the 100 Fish achievement. And if that wasn't good enough I got 2 (two) more before I got the 250 fish achievement. Now I don't know what to do with all 3. :D

Bloke182의 댓글

It should be noted (especially for horde) that the "Crocolisks in the City" trick appears to work on Old Old Ironjaw just like it does with Old Crafty

For those unfamiliar with the "trick" I'm talking about, it involves obtaining the quest "Crocolisks in the City" from Old Man Barlo Just outside Shattrath City in Terokkar Forest.

You then travel to Origmar (for Old Crafty) or Ironforge (for Old Ironjaw) and start fishing.

Apparently, being on this quest seems to greatly increases your chances of fishing up ether of these very rare fish.

However, it seems the quest needs to be incomplete for this trick to work. So if you catch a crocolisk before Old Ironjaw, Just throw it back, or destroy it, and keep fishing.

You may catch several Crocolisk before Old Ironjaw shows himself.
(I threw back about 3 of them before I got him)

But with a little bit of persistence, he should show himself.

I know the whole idea sounds kinda unlikely, but tried it based on other peoples advise, and caught Old Crafty in the time it took me to get from 304 fishing skill to 316 & Old Ironjaw in the time it took to get from 316-319.

So it seems to work.

Also, as others have mentioned, the reason you want to be carefull with auto-loot and re-casting is because both fish are BOP and trigger the "do you want to loot this item" window.

So stay sharp, and don't panic when he finally pops up.

A couple hours into doing Ol'Crafty I checked WoWhead and used the Crocolisk daily trick. I still had the quest a few days later when I went to Ironforge for Ironjaw. Low and behold I must have gotten within 20 casts, on my second Baby Crocolisk.

Despite what Above posts claim, I magically had better luck using that silly Quest method on BOTH of these rare fish.... go figure, it won't hurt :)

Not that I wanted to cheat or w/e but it works :S as of WOTLK 2/6/09

The story of how i caught Old Ironjaw
-Deathomen, Uther (US)

**NOTE** - Yes, i realize this is quite long. If you want to get to the good stuff, simply read the underlined paragraph. I just figured i would post the entire thing so people could see exactly how i caught him, and share in my excitement.

I recently moved to a new server, and have nothing to do, so i decided to start leveling my long neglected secondary professions. I was reluctant to level Fishing until after i had got to 375 First Aid, and then Cooking, and when the time came to actually start leveling fishing i hated the thought of it.

I'm exactly sure when i leveled it, but i was already at 150 fishing, which was rather encouraging. I decided that if i was going to do something as mind numbing as leveling fishing, i wanted to get something awesome out of it, so i chose to try fishing up Old Ironjaw. Since i hadn't leveled fishing since long before the achievement system was implemented, my fish caught was at 0. I started off in the Forlorn Cavern, and fished up somewhere around 150 fish before moving to the lava for another 50 fish and then moving back to the Forlorn Cavern and fishing up another hundred fish, giving me a total of 300 for the day. This put me at 225 Fishing.

At this point, i was so mind numbingly bored that i simply could not continue, so i went to a couple PUGs (got no loot btw :(). After the PUGs i decided to go do the quest to get Artisan Fishing. Once completed, i headed back to Ironforge to give Old Ironjaw another go.

I spent the better of an hour fishing because i was distracted by several other things, but something soon caught my attention. Normally i cast, click the bobber, let the loot screen pop up while i reply to a tell or to someone in guild chat, then pick up my loot and repeat, however after about 75 fish (375 total for the day) i noticed that my loot had a green name instead of the usual white. To my amazement, it was Old Ironjaw! I simply could not believe that i had caught him so quickly. After reading all the horror stories about how long it took, and seeing Jaxsonbateman's calculations on the percentage to catch Old Ironjaw after so many loots, i expected to be fishing for the next few days, but no, i had caught him much more quick then i anticipated!

The words of wisdom i offer to those hoping to catch Old Ironjaw are this: Don't give up simply because you are at 5000 loots, and have yet to see him even once. The time it takes to catch him is nothing compared to the excitement you will experience when you finally do! Although i caught him very quickly, i didn't expect to, and i planned to stand around fishing as long as i needed to so i could catch him. Just stick with it guys! :)

I, on the other hand, will be sneaking my way into Orgrimmar to fish up Old Crafty =D

Just caught this bugger :P, luckily the passerby alliance were very friendly and even when they spotted me they wouldn't attack =).

good luck,
dont give up!

So after fishing for thousands of casts I finally caught him. I did an ALT+Z to take a screenshot (before i looted him) of the achievement and just like that, I lost him.

I went to the north wheel on my first attempt but try as I might I could not get a camera angle to see the lure. Fishing the south wheel now without any problems.
Approaching my level cap at 375 after over 900 fish so will have to port Dalaran and start again once trained.

Went to that spot for fishing, sat there for about 5 hours fishing... then I got disconnected, had a mail in my email saying "account suspended for intended exploitation"

So dont do this even if it helps you get the fish.

You can fish in the lava in IF, not just the running lava.. it's gotta be the lava that is beneath it. It's directly under the flight master and it's more dark then the other smelting lava.

First cast today when I logged in and Old Grumpy was mine, err I mean Ironjaw >:)

Some people are destined to have luck and others are not, well what I lack in gold is made up in loot ;P Good luck getting him!

Well have been trying for maybe 200 casts now with no luck but atleast its a good and motivating way to skill up. All the people fishing in SW might aswell go here instead.

I was stoked when I got this in one catch on my warrior, so I was like okay and ran over to get old crafty, wouldn't you know it I got it in 5 casts it made me lol. Also you can dual weild these fish as a fury warrior, which is also fun to do. Run around holding a fish in both hands :P
I felt pretty dayum lucky haha

However I went and tried this on my pally and didn't get it after casting lines for 2 hours. :X

Do NOT be in a group while fishing. Ironjaw is BoP, so if you are in group it will say: "This item will bind to you", and if you're to fast and press your fishing keybind before you have pressed accept, you will lose it. I cutted wrists all night.

opression의 댓글

I see alot of people talking about losing this (and other BOP catches) because they recast... well worry no more. Just use the following macro to catch your fish:

/script ConfirmBindOnUse()
/cast Fishing

And you will automatically accept any green/blue fishies or pets in your loot window before you cast again!

Cheers

Got it in two casts... before a paladin and death knight proceed to pound me into a fine beef ala tauren paste.

I must be the luckiest person in the world. After reading all of the horror stories here about 3000 casts without catching Ironjaw, I ended up catching him after about 195 and then caught him AGAIN in less than a half-hour. Just used a strong fishing pole and bright baubles. I'm fully expecting to be voted down by the ones who still have yet to catch him...

I caught this after several sessions of intense fishing in IF and came up empty-handed. Then I grabbed the Croc quest from guy outside Shatt and fished in IF...got croc and 3 casts later got Old Ironjaw...After 30 seconds of yelping in joy I decided to post...THAT QUEST IS MAGIC

Started fishing in Ironforge at 1 fishing, in Forlorn Caverns. MIght've fished 10 fishes before I realized I was at 75, so I went to go train and continued fishing. At perhaps 85, I decided it'd be more fun to fish in the lava at the great forge. So I stood on the rim of the eastern smelting pool and cast into the magma.

Anyway, I got Old Ironjaw at 102 fishing. I might have been really lucky, or the droprate might be a lot better in the lava.

In any case, happy fishing.

Edit: Old Ironjaw was my 118th fish.

Priests can benefit from the free levitate glyph whilst fishing and can thus levitate on water for as long as they wish. creating a macro ensures you will never fall.
/Cast levitate
/Cast fishing
refreshes levitate every time they cast
applies generally ofc too but its handy being able to sit at the back of the forlorn cavern pool.

citizencain의 댓글

I may be incorrect, but as of patch 3.1, I would no longer let me cast my line in the lava in the Great Forge, therefore making it much more difficult for Horde to catch this fish

No longer warns you that looting this will bind it to you. This helps prevent people accidentally re-fishing to quickly if they have auto-loot on.

I must be unlucky or something. I've been fishing here for a few hours and haven't caught it yet. (I don't expect to for atleast a couple more hours.) but as I was fishing, some other people came to fish with me.

This guy had been fishing with me for 5 minutes and hadn't said a word. I got up to go to the bathroom and came back to noone sitting around the pool and a single message...

has earned the achievement !

Noooo!

I just want to say that as of today (someone might have said it but cba to read it all) 18/4-2009 Old Ironjaw cannot be fished in Great forge, There is no longer fish there and it say "there is no fish in this water" So do not attempt it since u need to die.

Alephred의 댓글

Unfortunately, it would appear it is no longer possible to fish in lava.

I had hopped up on the invisible wall behind the Great Forge lava wheel, all ready to kill a few hours angling for Old Ironjaw - but I got a 'There are no fish here' message in big red letters at the top of my screen.

Looks like the Forlorn Cavern or that little circular pool are a fisherman's only options now.

Alephred의 댓글

As I mention above, as of patch 3.1.0 (and possibly earlier), the Ironforge lava is no longer fishable. Players can't even cast a line in there anymore - so there's little point in sneaking in there, unless you feel like yelling at Alliance characters or pretending you're the Ghost of the Water Wheel.

Caught him on a quiet monday morning. There weren't even PvP-ing allies at the gates and to my sheer luck and amusement, 2 rogues joined me inside to cause mayhem and distract everyone in Ironforge. Took me exactly 380 casts to catch him. I was detected twice, but being a druid I could stealth and hide.

So, no real new tips from me, except that the "distraction method" worked quite well in keeping the allies away from me. Only works on very low hours, of course. And it gave me something to watch while fishing: seeing the buffs and debuffs on my party members, I could vividly imagine the fight, hehe.

As Horde, in a low traffic hour (early in the morning) had no trouble. Got killed once by a rogue on the way, only a couple players saw me and stopped when i was fishing, logged for 15-20 mins and they were gone. As a druid i could stealth in easily from stormwind using the tram, after fishing there and doing stockades for the achievements. Taking armor off is advisable to avoid high repair bills for classes that cant stealth (even for who can stealth, couse stuff happens), since you will die a few times on the way. Took me round 360 casts to catch ironjaw. Blew up luck for a whole month xD
Up to 1500 casts and Old Crafty still laughs at me. I have a feeling itll be today...

LiquidCool의 댓글

After many hours, after my patience was tested to the limit, I caught this son of a gun. I'm a Horde character, so there was the obvious problem. Surprisingly enough, like one of the above comments said, the lvl 80's seemed to bother me less than lowbies. Those annoying buggers get their lvl 80 friends to kill me, but I usually wait a while till they leave, and its back to fishing. But man oh man was it BORING. Well, it sometimes got a little interesting, like when that rogue in her high 70's tried to kill me twice. The level 80 rogue fishing near me at the time came to me and apologized (for his ally's behavior), and a lvl 40-ish guy came and cheered for me after I killed that rogue twice and made her hearth on out.

My skill was at 350 at the time. I thought I would catch it before I got it to 375, but I ended up maxing it to 450 and then fished some MORE. Oh, after I read some of the above comments about the BoP accept dialogue, I was careful, but to my surprise ironjaw went straight into my bag without a dialogue (I had auto-loot on). I guess Blizz fixed that. I fished in the far end of the Forlorn Cavern, while lying.

Sampling is from the geometric distribution, so says the almighty Wikipedia, which measures the number of trials until the first success. He is implicitly assuming the drop rate is 0.1%, or p=0.001. I couldn't find any numbers on it, but there are numbers for Old Crafty, and it says 0.2%. That'll make a huge difference.

Here's a small probability table of the likelihood associated with a catch, with the percentages being taken from the cumulative distribution function by the equation ceil(ln(1-z)/ln(1-p)) (yea, I'm a math/CS nerd).

z = percentile on the curve (where you fall if you can catch it in a given number of tries, so smaller is luckier)
p=0.1% = number of catches needed assuming a probability of success is 0.1%
p=0.2% = number of catches needed assuming a probability of success is 0.2%

z | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 95 | 99 | 99.9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p=0.1%| 11 | 52 | 106 | 224 | 357 | 511 | 693 | 916 | 1204 | 1609 | 2302 | 2995 | 4603 | 6905
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p=0.2%| 6 | 26 | 53 | 112 | 179 | 256 | 347 | 458 | 602 | 804 | 1151 | 1497 | 2301 | 3451

This is not a symmetric distribution, so z=50% does not correspond to the average number of catches. For the average, simply do 1/p, so, 1000 catches if p=0.1% and 500 catches if p=0.2%. It's not a very useful number because the standard deviation associated with such a low probability is almost 100%. So there can be a lot of variability between different people.

Koyathen의 댓글

After all your elaborate comments on strategies of fishing and drop rates, I feel inadequate by saying this: caught Old Ironjaw at my 1st attempt, 4th reel...

Old Crafty, however, did not yield so easily and after 7h of fishing and evading the horde, I have yet to catch him.

On a side note: I don't think the fishing skill is of any significant relevance in this current achievement (my fishing was between 190-200)

On the 35th lure I found him. In that time I've got:

Longjaw Mud Snapper - (21 : 60.0%)
Bristle Whisker Catfish - (8: 22.9%)
Brilliant Smallfish - (5: 14.3%)
Old Ironjaw - (1: 2.9%)

I was stood in fromt of Lago Blackwrench and was in the water up to my elbows.

I just caught the fish today, after the 3.2.2a patch, and I'm pleased to announce that the BoP window is GONE!
I cast my line, clicked the bobber, heard a "reeling in" sound effect followed by an achievement ding. Looking up from my comic book I discovered I had caught Ironjaw. I had been looking forward to accidentally casting a new line instead of clicking the accept button, but it seems we no longer need to worry about that.

Until Blizzard changes it back again...

i'm a level 34 human rogue. FINALLY caught him after between 870-880 casts.... nothing special, just throwing a line into the pool of the Forlorn Cavern. pretty much right on par with the chart from an earlier post that explained percentages to catching him. you guys in that 300 cast club are lucky! lol in the end though, got a couple low level green items and potions along the way i could send to my alt and sell at the AH, probably worth 3 or 4 gold worth of items by the end of it as a bonus to the achievement. didn't get that BOP message either (i'm still more of a noob though so i don't know much about what the patches have done).

also, someone earlier mentioned Old Ironjaw as an actual weapon.... i did catch a Steelscale Crushfish, which is a 12dps or so mace, by coincidence off the docks of Southshore while trying to catch the Fish Finding ability. it is pretty fun to equip it and smack some wolves or something around just for the sake of gaining mace skill.

thanks to everyone who posted here! i started to get disheartened after 350 casts or so til i read this board and it motivated me to just keep at it.

630 fish, 3hrs, 54 skill points later I finally got the old man. To say I got excited after finally catching it would be an understatement. I actually had to go unload fish in my bank to continue fishing. I wanted to stop a couple times because I thought you might have to be 450 but you don't, I caught him at 443. Just some info if you're debating on doing it or continuing after about 300 fish, lol.

Thanks to all who posted helpful tips for fishing inconspicuously in Ironforge as Horde.

I finally decided it was about time to get this old fish, so I braved the guards, and made my way to the cave. A few level 80s decided it just wouldn't do to have me there fishing, and killed me.

After returning, I used the /sleep command to keep a lower profile. Although I was noticed a couple times, I wasn't deemed enough of a threat apparently. Fishing while lying down seems to be the key to getting undisturbed fishing time.

After my successful catch, I counted up all fish in my bags, and discovered I had a total of 333 fish, plus Old Ironjaw!

As you will see down in further posts, many people make the mistake of casting catching Old Ironjaw and then recasting not realizing he is BoP. They realize at it afterwards and get angry and try to warn others about it. theres an easier way to do it. put your cast lure ability on your action bar and do not use your keyboard to cast. moving your mouse back and forth will many times allow you enough time to see what u have caught without recasting. therefor there will be less missed Ironjaws because you will see what you have caught before you click the cast button again (With your mouse)!

Best of luck to all going for this achievement. :)

Last night I decided to start working on my fishing achievements. I needed to go to Stormwind to get the Fishing Diplomat and afterward I headed to Ironforge to fish up Old Ironjaw. Getting into both of these cities was actually not that difficult; I'm playing a 75 Shadow Priest and I was able to simply run past most of the guards until I got where I wanted to go.

I must have gotten really lucky because it only took me five casts to pull up Old Ironjaw. I'm at eleven hundred casts trying to catch Old Crafty, though...

ammut의 댓글

Getting into Ironforge is not that difficult for Horde side if you are anywhere near the level of the guards. I rode through the front gate and circled around until I got to the forlorn cavern. Once I got there, I swam out to the farthest area away from the road and killed the one guard who was still following me, then swam to the shore and started fishing. Most of the alliance players who ran past waved at me (I took off all my armor so it would not receive durability damage before I entered the city).

And of course 1 * Old Ironjaw himself.

Ironjaw in about 1100 casts
Crafty in about 250 casts

I did it while leveling fishing - only level 297 fishing reached so far. My guess is if you are leveling fishing from 1 to max while doing this you have very good chances to grab both.

Haha, is there a record board somewhere? I just got it in under 10 casts.
I tried fishing him up with my Horde Druid and stopped after ~650 casts because I needed to visit my trainer. Now I tried again with my also Horde Shammy, got there last night, already dead tired and only did 3-5 casts before falling asleep. Now I log back in, still in the Forlorn Cave, ready to have a 4-5 hour anglin' session and the 4th cast suddenly gives me the achievement swoosh. I was barely awake yet, now I am and overjoyed.

1 Simple Britches of the Eagle
And of course, Old Crafty. :D

Has something changed with this? I am at over 4000 Fish Caught in the forlorn cavern with no sight of Ironjaw.

Darkvirtue09의 댓글

same here over 3750 atm and nothing. A week ago i got it on 3 different characters from a few minutes to a couple hours... Now everyone I talk to has been in here for several DAYS with nothing? Maybe they glitched it with the last background patch?

Anyone gotten it in the last 2-3 days?

Just to show this thing really is the luck of the draw.

I'm still trying to fish him up......and I'm over 8,000 casts right now.

....I'll never fish again....

61 casts!

I was ready for the long hawl too, don't know what to do with myself now!

Friskies의 댓글

I'm closing in at 10,000 casts. Been trying this off and on since 2.3.

I've tried all the "tricks" like having the Crocs in the City quest, wearing the lucky charm necklace, using max fishing skill. Nothing. This is driving me nuts.

Out of desperation, I created an account here to complain about this.. in hopes that the Ironjaw Gods are listening.

Hopefully you'll see an "Edit: success" soon!

This is 100% true.. i swear it on my mother's life.. I am alliance and I was at about 145 fishing skill, i think, and i went to try for the "Old Ironjaw" achiev... i fished him up on my very first attempt... True story.. Went to try the "Old Crafty" When i was lvl 46 and fishing about 210 and tried over 500 times and didnt get it, then i got over it because horde kept killing me :P

I'm 37 lvl Gnome Artisan Fishing.. I can't even start fishing anywhere, am I too short to fish, is it must to fish in deep water?

Micathius의 댓글

About 650 casts today and got nothing but three hunters camping my naked fishing corpse. Think I'll try again next week.

Edit 5/10: Finally got him on cast 553 today. I did have the Crocolisks quest in my log, but I'm not quite sure if that helped or not. It was humorous seeing so many Alli standing around the entrance of the water, all fishing right along with me today.

Wizman87의 댓글

I started at 250 fishing (with a +20 fishing pole, using no additional baubles or attachments) and then ended (or stopped) with 300 fishing - I never bothered to go see a trainer for my fishing profession since I knew soon enough that I would be heading to Northrend (requiring 305 fishing minimum), as you soon shall see and read on as to why in a minute. I casted 1,409 times for Old Ironjaw all the while standing and/or lying down in the back of The Forlorn Cavern within the city of Ironforge - coordinates (47,24) - as Alliance players passed by my Horde, Level 67 Tauren Druid, for approximately 3-5 hours straight (inbetween 5 to 30 minute intervals). I believe I was only noticed twice the entire time whilst fishing - though none of the passers-by were within level of attacking my character, so I was never fallen to becoming a victim of being "ganked" by any Alliance related players within the city. However, as a warning, low- or high-level Alliance players may or may not tell and/or notify others about your whereabouts through their city's global chat system, so be sure to take extra precaution(s) in concealing yourself as much as possible to avoid any "ganking" related deaths and run-backs while in ghost form - same goes for entering the city as well (you may instead want to use the backside tram subway system entrance to and from Stormwind and Ironforge to keep your presence to a minimum). It is generally very quiet and non-populated in the back of Ironforge throughout any day of the week, so you shouldn't run into too much trouble, if any, aside from the level 75 Ironforge Guards. You may want to bring some music and/or tunes along - or surf the net in the web browser of your choice - to run in the background whilst fishing to pass the time by. Fishing may also go by a lot faster for you if you use a trusty WoW add-on that I use - and personally swear by - specifically for fishing related tasks, that goes by the name of "Fishing Buddy". Also, I might add as a side note that after acquiring and/or fishing up Old Ironjaw in the latest patch of WoW - version 3.3.3 - with my trusty ol' Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 fishing pole, I received no Bind on Pickup (BoP) message confirmation box from within the loot window with auto-looting enabled.

Unfortunately, i'm another lucky person after getting Ironjaw and his achievement on about my 20th cast.

What made it worse was arriving to see two other fellow Horde who had been fishing in the same spot for 2 hours; I waltz in and grab the fish after getting the Fishing Diplomat achievement!

My gut instict of "Might as well blast 10 minutes on Ol' Ironjaw, should be a laugh" seems to have paid off immensely.

(That, and Death Knights are OP)

If complaining helps, here is my complaint.

I have gone from beginning fishing at skill 1 to maxed out skill at 450, fishing nowhere but Ironforge.

To date, I still have NOT caught Old Ironjaw. :(

Melkoshi의 댓글

Just caught this as a hordey, Used most of the advice already posted: track humanoid food to see whos nearby, sit in the lower left in the cavern, and took the tram to IF from SW.

Caught him at cast number 827. took around...4-5ish hours, was my 3rd visit there. Alot better then 6kish on old crafty e_e;

I just caught him after about 300 casts. I had been fishing for over an hour, and went to the AH to sell the fish that were overflowing in my bags. I went back to the Forlorn Cavern, and caught him on my third cast! It was exciting!

Took me NINE casts to get this as Horde in the Forlorn Cavern. I was so happy. It actually too me 4,377 casts to get the 15 pound mud snapper in Mulgore. Ah, the joys of RNG.

pancakemage의 댓글

This beauty took me about 500 casts to fish up in the shallow circular ring of water in the Mystic Ward before they took out fishing in that particular spot. I did not get the fish at a very high skill level but I think it was over 200. Keep trying, happy fishing and good luck!

I use that macro for all my toons. The keeps me from recasting on accident or while looting. Might help with those that recast when tryin to loot Ironjaw. So far, got him on two of my toons, Rogue was around 215 when he caught'em and my Pally just now at 145.

took me around 10 minutes to farm, if that.

I guess its a case of luck in some cases, me and a friend decided to go and do this at the same time, and he's still there trying to get it :)

Idk what everyone is complaining about with his low drop rate or something. I stealthed in as a Horde and caught it within 20 casts with an ally DK sitting right be side me. I also got the 500 fish caught in the same 20 casts.

(I'm totally jk. I've tried this soooo many times on my allies and had terrible luck. I'm just much more lucky with my Horde toons. Caught Old Crafty on my lvl 30 alt at 17 fishing skill. I know it can be very tedious, but don't think that just because it has a low drop rate you won't get it quick. Currently over 3000 casts with my ally into the IF pool and no luck.)

Elderon95의 댓글

Do you need a certain fishing skill to get him?

outstanding의 댓글

I had some insane luck with this fish considering I'm playing a horde character aswell. Was prepared to fish some hour and be ganked by alliance but I caught this on my second cast! Sometimes the gods smile upon you, or I was just lucky.

Eximius의 댓글

As you cannot fish anymore in the Lava, I spent 2hours in the Forlorn Caverns which resulted in
Session 1 - 568 Fish - No Bite
Session 2 - 12 Fish - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

My advice, don't be worried to walk away and don't be plagued with "If I stop now then it'd of dropped in the next cast...", because it will drop when it drops.

Best of luck to all players attempting this, particularly Horde!

Clicking off YOUR display for character names will not keep others form seeing yours..U can't control their display by turning yours off. I caught Old Ironjaw over the course of two days fishing the Forlorn Cavern:

Bristle Whisker x 220, Longjaw x 646, Brilliant Smallfish x 199, 19lb Catfish x 1, 17lb Catfish x 2, Lesser Healing Potion x 2 and White Leather Bag(8-slot) x 1. I also allowed a tauren druid to fish beside me, even though i was murdered countless times while fishing for Old Crafty during a period of 3 days before that, but it only took me 600+ fish and some junk in the Valley of Honor(why they call it that , i'll never know, ..where's the honor in murdering a man carrying a fishing pole and drinking beer? lol)

I don't think anyone has covered this achievement in Cataclysm yet. For Horde, the route there it's made much easier with flying mounts, but the fishing part remains highly unpredictable.

What I did was:

- Mount up and fly to Stormwind, in my case I departed from Stranglethorn Vale
- Head towards the Dwarven District tram terminal. This is located in the North East corner just above the 'S' and the 'T' on the world map. You will aggro a few guards, both air and land - but don't fret, head straight towards the terminal's entrance which is instanced and you will lose all aggro once you are inside.
- Take the tram. If the tram is not there I would highly recommend waiting for one instead of running the distance by foot.
- While you are on the tram do not under any circumstances jump off the tram, the run back is quite long.
- Get off the tram at the Ironforge terminal and leave the instanced zone into Ironforge.
- The area you are in now is Tinker Town, you need to head to southern Ironforge, to the Forlon Cavern. You will need to fly north through two sections, and you will not doubt aggro guards both air and land.
- Mount up and head towards Forlon Cavern as efficiently as you can. If you are able to get there without dismounting, the aggro from guards in the previous rooms will drop by the time you dismount at the pond.
- If you are dismounted and engage in combat, continue to run and head towards the pond as much as you can in the hope that you will be able to resurrect your corpse in or near the pond where there are no guards.
- Move to the back of the pond and start fishing!

I am currently on 385 fish and counting.

Happy fishing!

Quick question, after about 3 days of fishing, and 2000+ loots, still coming up empty. Do I HAVE to have anything attached to my poles (lures, etc.), or can I just raw-dog this SOB? I've been fishing without lures or buffs, so I'm just wondering if it was possible.

Multiculty의 댓글

I've fished him up on 2 chars now.

- The second time I caught him (fishing level 110) the sever time was 9.02 am and I had been fishing for a few minutes.
I don't know if he spawns at a certain time, but if you're having trouble cathing it, you can try fishing at 9.00am.

good luck.:)

I'd tried fishing both Old Crafty (and Old Ironjaw when i was Alliance) for probably about 5 hours combined about a year ago and gave up.

I was determined this time. Took about 4 days fishing for a couple hours each day to get Old Crafty in Orgrimaar. I just watched a movie and bound the commands to my mouse, clicking whenever i heard a splash. Kinda peaceful actually. Finally got it and the usual congrats in guild chat.

I still had some time that night so i figured i'd head over to IF to see how much trouble i was in for. Put on all junk clothes and snuck in through the upper windows, being especially careful of the flying guards, but none really came close at all to aggroing me. And very few Alliance in Ironforge now so no worries. I snuck to the very back of the cave wall and sat down, almost completely covered with water, an Alliance would have to be actually looking for me to find me. And none of the guards wander close enough ever.

About 30 casts in and 20 minutes after getting Old Crafty, boom Old Ironjaw lands in my lap. Pretty funny in guild chat and i wasn't too disappointed that i didn't finish watching my movie.

I don't really think the drop rate has increased at all, just lucky. Point is, as long as you expect hours and hours of fishing, and don't mind, you'll eventually get it. Good news for hordies is you don't really have to worry about getting ganked or harrased at all in Ironforge.

I fished this up Today on my 13th cast. I know its just lucky and the RNG was kind to me. I just want to give hope to some people and let people know that it doesn't always take 1000's of casts. You can get lucky.

I had 474 Fishing, Was using the weather beaten Fishing hat and the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing pole.

Also since Cata is out Ironforge is pretty dead, at least on my server. I did what another posts said to do which is stand in back of lake and cast /sleep. makes it super hard for alliance to see you.

Also if your trying for Old Crafty there is a really easy way to get him as well. (assuming they haven't changed it) You go to outlands and pick up the quest crocs in the city when its the daily. Go to org and fish. If you get the quest item before you get Old Crafty don't loot it and cast again. Can normal get him in less then 10 casts. I have heard of it taking people 15-20 but its a better chance at catching him while on this quest.

mcwood의 댓글

Catching Old Ironjaw, you should already know this is a dangerous task that should consume a decent portion of your time. You already know how to alt tab while fishing, how to not go insane from hours lost, and even where/when to go do this. But survival my fellow Horde brothers, is the key. After doing a thorough study of alliance players here's a few tips to help out my guys/gals who get constantly attacked.

Lesson 1: Hiding and you, how to be unnoticed.

-We all know your Defender of The Shattered World title is really friggin' cool. But a big epeen just attracts attention. Turn off your title.
-I hope you're not a Tauren like me. Sleeping and sitting won't hide you completely. You're just a huge armored rock that looks funky.
-Your companion pet probably makes noise or something. Your Onyxia Hatchling tells everyone you're nearby about every 2 minutes so just leave him in whatever space he's in when you're not around.
-We get it, you're the pvp god. But leaving skeletons of the poor people you killed getting here is a bread crumb trail waiting to happen. Same goes for guards and those guys still actually on the Local Defense channel even though Southshore ain't around to get destroyed anymore.
-If you can shrink yourself in some other manner, do it.

Lesson 2: Communication, keep your trap shut.

-Fishing is boring. After 50 casts you'll be reading trade chat for fun. But don't open your mouth at all. People have alts and if they don't like you they will shift click your name and toon swap to rape you. The less people that know you're fishing in a city where everything that moves wants you dead the better.

Lesson 3: Oh noes they saw meh, good sign language.

-Even though Ironforge is deserted players will run by and notice you. Most of them are probably a low level and will just stare and move on. Others will be level 85 and approach you. What do you do?
-Well try and come off as someone in good spirit. Certain role play items seem to soothe the savage nature of enemy players, and some anger them. Feel free to break out the candy and all those shiny things you never use anyways. The more confused they are the more likely they'll join in on the fun or just won't kill you.
-From personal experience, my Orb of Deception, Orb of the Sin dorei, and my Furbolg Staff seemed to have them leave me alone. But don't pop an Iron Boot flask or a Frenzyheart Brew, or even an Ogre Suit. Those turn you into vicious creatures, and have provoked attacks on my person many times.
-Be observant. That player is dual wielding Warglaives and his other muscular friend has Thunderfury. If you don't have anything equally as cool, simply be /jealous. They will /flex at you all they want, but Master Wood is not impressed. If you do have something good, try wearing it and showing off, they may even /cheer at you!
-If you do get attacked, fighting back will get the player to believe you're going to come back for revenge. This has a good chance of having them stay on your body waiting for you. Simply waiting for death not only makes things faster, but can also signal a desire not to pvp and the person will move on with their free honor.
-While on the topic of pvp, make sure again not to kill lowbies you may see. Logging out to do something other than fish makes your task take longer.

I hope this is either a fun read or kinda sorta informative to anyone who actually reads the whole thing. I sat out in Ironforge for 3+ days trying to get this fish. (and counting I might add) and I figured this sort of information might help someone. While I do enjoy fishing in enemy territory for the sheer dangerous fun of it, I had never been out for this long before and found out a few things about the other faction.

Torvalz doesn't suggest fishing in dangerous areas, but if you're bored and love fishing... add a spin to things and go to the Stormwind Harbor or out behind the Howling Oak for a change. What can possibly go wrong?

I consider myself unlucky...
2191 catches. To be precise:

- Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper 1343x
- Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish 517x
- Raw Brilliant Smallfish 317x
- Lesser Healing Potion 5x
- 17 Pound Catfish 3x
- 19 Pound Catfish 2x
- Bloated Mud Snapper 2x (both contained Shadowgem)
- Veteran Armor 1x
- Old Ironjaw 1x (YAY)

Let's say the longer it takes, the more satisfaction it brings when you catch it :D
I did NOT have to press 'OK' to the 'Bind on Pickup' part because it was absent. Blizz probably removed it because too many people crashed their computers when they missed the achievement ^^

Good Luck to all who don't have this achievement yet!

btw if anyone wants to buy 1300 Longjaw Mud Snappers, they're on AH for 1 copper per stack ;)

Ive tried in all different time of the day and night. This is over 3,000 casts with no luck. I know that a random % chance to drop is just that, and the more ou canst the % still stays low. Alot of people think that "Hey, if its %.1 drop chance, and I cast 1000 times Im sure to get it!"
This IS NOT TRUE! If the drop chance is %.1 than it will be %.1 on the 2,000 the same as it was on the first cast.
That being said, I do think that Blizzard should do something about this, sutch in having some kind of internal counter, so that when you do reach your 10,000 cast you get it just for being that stubborn.

He was the 110th fish I caught in the Forlorn Cavern, using Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole, wearing a Weather-beaten Fishing hat and using the hat's lure on the pole. Oh, my Fishing skill was 347 when I caught him.

Fished up Old Ironjaw three minutes ago.

Items fished in the process:

90x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
38x Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
30x Raw Brilliant Smallfish
1x 17 Pound Catfish

Approximately a half-hour spent at The Forlorn Cavern with 525 + 150 (Heat-Treated Spinning Lure) + 30 (Jeweled Fishing Pole) + 5 (Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat) = 710 Fishing skill. This actually took very close to the same amount of time to fish Old Crafty up and had extremely similar results in items obtained before acquiring either of them.

Nobrainer의 댓글

Just to illustrate the complete randomness with catching this crafty fella,

Figured i would throw a few lures out as i was in Ironforge for the midsummer festival (as horde)

555 fishing (525 skill + 30 from fishing pole):
9x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
4x Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
2x Raw Brilliant Smallfish
1x Old Ironjaw

Though i was pleasantly suprised, It's worth mentioning that this is in no way an indication that the catchrate is much higher than suggested here. This post merely serves as additional data.

Good luck and godspeed, fisher(wo)men!

wowitsnyb의 댓글

So I decided to try for Old Ironjaw tonight on my undead while I was in Ironforge to steal the midsummer fire. I was there for about two or three hours fishing. Since others posted what they got fishing before Old Ironjaw finally popped up, I decided to post my tally as well. Before Old Ironjaw bit, I caught approximately:
69 Raw Brilliant Smallfish
100 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
267 Raw Longjaw Mud Snappers
a lesser healing potion
a 17 pound catfish
& a 19 pound catfish
Not to mention a couple daggers in the back and some arrows in the face by some allies who decided to double team me halfway thru my fishing trip. lol
*Note to other players* Requires much patience, but hang in there.

I spent the past 5 days or so fishing for Old Ironjaw, and I (FINALLY) fished him up today, after sitting for hours playing Bejeweled while I waited.

I fished him up after catching:

1707 Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
659 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
473 Raw Brilliant Smallfish
13 Health/Mana Potions
9 17-Pound Catfish
7 19-Pound Catfish
2 Pieces of Green Gear
2 Bloated Mud Snappers

2872 total catches...ugh.

So glad that's over with...

Just to add a comment to the 'Random is totally random' angle, I just got Ironjaw in 39 casts. My wife about fell over in shock given hers took so long she had her niece sitting there clicking fishing when she was visiting one weekend..

And of course Old Ironjaw himself! I was only killed twice by Alliance, since it was mostly deserted. I had stripped anyway, so I just let them kill me and run back. Later there were 2 other Horde fishing with me, so the Alliance left us alone.

Not as bad as it could have been--but I'm VERY glad it's over!

I caught Old Ironjaw while I was on this page reading comments on how to catch Old Ironjaw. Background noises, video set to Windowed (Fullscreen), auto-loot on. I heard the sound, looted, recast, alt+tab'd back out and heard the achievement pop. Took about 10-15 minutes.

I find it rather odd that "The legendary uncatchable fish of Ironforge" vendors only for a round or two of Southshore Stout.
I was expecting scantily clad women to rain down from the heavens, noobs to pwn themselves in my presence, ALL OF AZEROTH TO BOW TO MY AWESOME POWER. Instead, all I got was this frog.

Actually, i was fishing for him with one with one of my friends, and I caught him twice. It took me all about 30 minutes from me catching the first Old Ironjaw.

Guess I had a lucky week...
Last Sunday I got my Lucky Fishing Hat during the fishing tournament (&another +5 fishing line).
Monday I received a Bone Fishing Pole from the daily fishing quest (still prefer my Jeweled one)
Tuesday I found Lil' Timmy and got my white Kitten in Stormwind (after about 2 hours waiting in the courtyard for him), to add to my other 4 cats, chicken, 2 moths, 2 Parrots, bunny, raptor, crab and balloon.
Then Wednesday night while riding through the courtyard doing the daily quest I stumbled on him again (and got a 2nd kitten I couldn't resist) and followed him his whole route.
Then last night after doing the fishing daily in Ironforge, since I had some +75 lures to waste, I stepped to the back of the pool threw out my fishing line about a DOZEN times and caught Old Ironjaw and got the achievement (I don't remember him requiring me to answer "yes" to bind, but maybe I oked it without thinking about it). Note: that's who I was fishing for...didn't realize he was that hard to catch?
I'm not sure why people recommend bringing empty bags, I just recasted whenever I got a fish I didn't want...no sense in keeping them if I'm maxed out fishing (and I'm not hungry).
To review: I'm a maxed out fisher, wearing a Lucky Hat +5, with my new bone pole +30 and a +75 fishing lure, fishing from the back (center) of the pool in the Forlorn Cavern and caught Old Ironjaw in about a dozen casts and looked for and watched as the achievement flashed on me screen...
Lucky week

zarula의 댓글

I am sorry to brag, but I have to be the luckiest horde to every enter Ironforge, and fish up Old Ironjaw. I went to the backside of the cavern, fished twice, then realized I needed to equip the lure from the fishing hat; and with the next cast I fished up Old Ironjaw. A smile just crossed my faced, I yelled a couple times with praise, and got the hell out of there.

3 Casts...

My sister's 20 and she saw me fishing one time and she was all like "Thats so cool, can I try? Hah? Hah? Can I?" and when she tried, I couldnt play wow for 2 weeks bcuz of her fishing all the time. So I thought I could take advantage of that and sent her to fish Old Ironjaw and I was all like "Ok, listen here. Its one of the rare fishes in game, so you'll prolly try to fish it up for hours!" Then she started... I went to the other room to watch some TV and in less than a minute, she came and told me "I cought something with green name". Went to see, she cought Old Ironjaw for 4 casts... Now she's doing all my rare fishing achievements. :)

LOL - I just fished this sucker up while doing the Ironforge fishing daily's. Funny, on my main character, I fished and fished and he never dropped, now on an alt, he drops when I'm not even looking for him.

Once again, almost no reason to level fishing xD. Now for the other one......bet I get it before max fishing

Just caught him, took me a reasonable time.
Did it as horde: Just use flying mount to get there , swim to the back of the cave and fish from there.
I had 2 alliance coming to hit me ( they were low lvl ), had to kill them once so they would fish in peace with me, other than that it was all fine!
Good luck on your farm!

OLD IRONJAW 101

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. Old Ironjaw, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."

My stats:
101 casts ! Skill 525+25 (no lures)
54: Longjaw Mud Snapper
23: Bristle Whisker Catfish
22: Brilliant Smallfish
1: 19 Pound Catfish
1: Old Ironjaw.

I sat in the back of the lake where it is apparently too shallow to swim but is just deep enough to conceal you. (although i was disguised as a gnome using Burgy Blackhearts Handsome Hat).A couple druids flew over me but didnt notice.

Falchorn의 댓글

I believe I have been subjected to the most insane amount of ''luck'' ever to occur within the Warcraft Universe. I read the account of one who attempted to catch Old Crafty from the warm waters of Orgrimmar and thought it appropriate I share my own experience.. with one even greater.

It was a quiet evening, I silently emerged from the gloom of The Forlorn Cavern. The steady dripping of water over the dark rock was all that made noise, or movement. This forgotten, shadowy corner of Ironforge was the perfect realm for a monster of a wit and strength that is matched by only one, but his is a story yet to come. I approached the still, sapphire pool and gazed over the domain of this scaled legend. The waters surface seemed calm and clear, deceiving a depth and darkness I cannot fathom. It was from this aquatic void that I would learn of a talent I had never dreamed I could possess. An ability to rival every Angler, Mariner and all manner of Fishermen in every corner of The Great Dark. A skill, I never knew, that would be woven into the fabric of my very being. Into my soul, dominated by an unwavering drive to take the monsters of the light less depths. For my legacy. For my most respected catch. I could never have known, nor have comprehended what was to happen moments from drawing my Pole.

It was a clean cast. Short, yet graceful as it arced high, landing softly in the crystal pool. I was not disappointed, within seconds I had a bite. A sizable Catfish. Impressive, but no grand catch. I placed the the fish in my barrel, and as I turned my back.. I felt it. Weak at first, and then it grew. Anxious, I spun around.. I was greeted by the moment that scarred my heart, the memory that will never be forgotten the burning flame that was born within me that frosty night. Our eyes locked from beneath the gentle, rocking surface of the lake, and I felt him. I felt his being shift into mine.. and we became one. What happens next is history. For a brief moment I saw The Great Dark flash in an explosion of radiant light! The shadowed tendrils of The Twisting Nether enveloped me. All turned to silver - white. I was One.

I let back my Rod and with a cast that disappeared from sight, I, Re birthed, felt his ancient teeth grasp the firm hook as if they were my own. I felt the tip drive into his withered jaws as a searing pain shot through mine! .. I screamed with agony and, for but a brief second, loosened my grip of the line. Yet, the molten desire that took hold of me at that moment, when I knew that I could no longer be barred by the fabric of this world, burned a fury of desire I had never felt. A heave of perfect balance, with the strength of a Titan.. and I finally saw the beast. A swirling vortex of sparkling indigo, and purest white. The legendary being skimmed off the shimmering lake and was thrown against my chest with a force so great my feet shot out from beneath me, and I hurtled towards the cobbled rock of the Traveling Fishermen. Before I pulled Lago out from under me. Before Grimnur could pull his jaw up and form a coherent sentence.. Ironjaw looked into me, the world around seemed to dull and halt.. Although skepticism will be ever present.. he spoke. He said in a hoarse but peaceful voice, '' I have lived long, Night Elf. Long enough to grow wise of your world.'' '' In the countless millenia that I have swam Azeroths' endless oceans, none have been worthy of ending me.. Until now''. '' I feel the flame within you, a passion of insatiable hunger''. '' I, give you this gift, Ghosties''. '' I give you the strength to end the lives of my greatest kin''. '' To end the suffering of their immortality''. '' Go, Ghosties, with my blessing.'' ''Bring... peace.'' As the world brightened and began to spin once more. As I breathed his last breath. As I saw the milky light fade in his eyes, I knew my purpose. I would take from the greatest of the Angler's prey they're burdening existences of age, madness and pain. I would ascend to a legend. A myth. A god.

Ghosties, the Night Elf who caught Ironjaw, the mightiest of Mud Snappers.. With two flicks of a Graphite Fishing Pole.

I hate all of you that have caught this fix and your math sucks. Currently I'm just over 2700 fish caught and still no Old Ironjaw.

As a troll, I took the portal in orgrimmar to the twilight highlands then just flew west to ironforge. I'm a rogue, so I was naked except for a crap dagger in my main hand to sap with. If you make friends with a rogue or cat druid that could easily sneak in like me, and who has mass summons, they could probably get you in without your gear getting trashed.

So it took me 5200 catches to get Old Crafty, and now I'm at 2500 catches in Ironforge and I've yet to catch Old Ironjaw. Are you kidding me? Most people that have bad luck getting one fish get the other one quickly... but not me. I've had mega patience throughout all of this but my bad luck is really starting to piss me off. At this rate, I'll be getting Mr. Pinchy's pet at 20k+ catches.

I fished up Ironjaw after a day of fishing, today I accidently fed an off-hand, to my hunter pet...

So I just decided to try for this achievement. I've been holding off because I've been dreading it.. but luck must have been on my side for the first time during my years of playing because I maybe only had about 40 or so casts. I'm sure I'll go back to my bad luck soon....

For reference to those who like specific numbers. My 2 day, 5 hour trek for this fish took a total of 975 casts.

Since Cata, no one is ever in Ironforge. Easy to fly right in and land in the Forlorn Cavern.

Took me around 400 casts.

Good luck.

I put up my mind to catch Old Ironjaw from The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge.
It went like this... I started at 17:45 danish time and ended at 17:51 danish time.

I caught: 14x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper, 3x RawBrilliant Smallfish, 7x Raw bristle Whisker Catfish and last but not least the famous Old Ironjaw.

I have tried before without help and then i thought, "maybe it would help if I took time on it"... And BANG! Old Ironjaw... Maybe if you have fishing for a while do what i did, maybe it helps you too... Good luck fishing...!

Now i will go for Old Crafty and do the same...

For those who were able to complete this in about 200 catches, you are lucky. I have spent 3 hours and over 1000 catches and still have yet to complete this achievement.

The easiest part was flying through IF to get to Forlorn Cavern as lvl 85. If you are lower than that, you might go in a group, stealth or wait until you can fly through IF. You generally do not have to worry about most Alliance killing you, that is with the exception of Hunters and Druids. Well, you might have to worry about Rogues, but I never saw one (LOL).

I did this on my SP and a Dwarf hunter could tell I had been their for 2 hours just fishing. He was fishing as well, but kept logging on and off. After 2 hours, a Night Elf hunter showed up and they decided to kill me. Honestly, I couldn't care less, expected to have been killed a lot more before then, and wondered if they thought I would engage in a fight. PUHLEEEZ! I am a squishy and never would have a chance against 2 pets and 2 hunters on me. I am no where near that skilled. So, why would I waist time in a fight? I had a good laugh, rezzed and kept fishing.

Anyway, you are better off just taking the hits, and not engaging as others might just leave you alone, just dying, and waiting until they leave your corpse. Or just keep rezzing back and eventually they will get bored and go away. If you have over 4 hours of time to waste on catching this, then at least make it a bit more exciting and see how long they will waste their time on you! :) My only other suggestions is: 1) take of your gear so you do not receive durability damage; 2) put on a tabard - non Horde of course - if you don't like being in your undies; and 3) don't emote unless they emote at you (even though mine was nice...that is when they decided to kill me...lol). Anyway, best of luck to all you fellow fishers!

Finally reeled this guy in tonight.

I don't even know how many casts it took me to get him...probably around 2500. After a while I stopped keeping track. I never quit though. I knew, one day, my persistence would pay off. I knew that one day I would fly out of Ironforge victorious, never to set foot in The Forlorn Cavern again. Never again would I gaze upon that row of dimly-lit shops; never again would I keep lonely watch over Ransin Donner's solitary vigil as his pet Murky shuffled back and forth. Never again would I cast, cast, and cast again...attach a Bright Bauble, a Glow Worm...and cast again.

Old Ironjaw, I just couldn't quit you. Now, I am free.

Couldn't believe this. Randomly decided to level fishing on my priest while waiting for the Tol Barad queue, barely casted the line 10 times and caught Old Ironjaw. I got it before even getting the 25 Fish achievement.... All those hours spent fishing on my Death Knight wasted. :(

In case anyone is taking all of this down and doing the math, which I doubt lol I Decided not to leave my seat and continually cast until I caught him. Took me 214 Raw Longjaw Mudsnapper, 96 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish, 50 Raw Brilliant Smallfish, 2 19 Pound Catfish, 2 Lesser Mana Potion and 1 Lesser Health Potion.... finally 1 Old Ironjaw. In all, caught on cast number 366. This was at level 85 with the Mastercraft Kaul'ak Fishing Pole, Weather Beaten Fishing Hat, and a Heat-Treated Spinning Lure.

Has anybody caught this fish in 5.2? I've got 4305 casts without a promising nibble

2588 Longjaw Mud Snappers
962 Catfish
715 Smallfish
14 17 Pound Catfish
9 19 Pound Catfish
7 Lesser Healing Potion
5 Lesser Mana Potion
3 Bloated Mud Snapper
1 Schematic: Mechanical Squirrel Box
1 Blazing Wand
1 22 Pound Catfish
1 Buccaneer's Gloves of the Owl

I opened a ticket because it just seems so improbable.

( 1 - ( 1 - 1/1000 )^4305) = 98.6%

Since the ticket has not been answered in 3 days, I'm beginning to think there is something to my suspicion.

Edit: I finally received a reply and they said it's not bugged but recommend I visit a fansite.

Edit: 5310 casts and still nothing

Edit: 5537 was my lucky number. My RNG was really bad.
( 1 - ( 1 - 1/1000 )^5537) = 99.6%

I'm not a statistician so please correct my formula if I'm using the wrong one.

Gwyntee의 댓글

This is one of those achievements you might want to consider a faction transfer to complete. I have often considered maxing out a goblin and doing horde side achievements, buying bank tabs and horde only recipes galore then switching to an alliance race. This achievement, as well as cooking recipe completion, tailoring and/or BS and/or LW professions would all show slight benefits as there are some recipes that only the horde can get. Also, goblins get "the best deals anywhere," and can buy even guild tabs for less than alliance guild masters can buy them. A goblin may transfer with an unused tab, if not more than one.

I have always wanted a goblin rogue. A goblin rogue might translate into a human rogue fairly well? Of course, then I'd probably want a new goblin. :)

Today I flew into Ironforge on my main, Kelpharia. No luck at all, but I'll keep trying. I did about 500 casts. I went in without any gear because I was expecting to die a lot and didn't want to pay the price. I ended up dying 4 times. On my server, the Caverns aren't very populated, so I didn't get much traffic.

Just fished this up moments after fishing up The 1 Ring in Ironforge. I have no way of knowing how many casts it took because I fished on-and-off for about three months before I finally caught Old Ironjaw. Several times I fished for a good 2-3 hours straight, including this session just now and a shorter one last night. Old Ironjaw takes me to 200/201 profession achievements... now to go repeat this grind in Horde territory some other time...

If I had to guess, that was probably somewhere in the ballpark of 3000 casts total. Maybe even 3500. Definitely more than I needed for the rare fish achieve.

EDIT: Just caught Old Crafty in under 250 casts! I am just lol'ing nonstop right now after how long it took for me to catch Ironjaw!

Just fished up this elusive creature. I had fished for about an hour and 10 minutes when I decided to take go for a smoke. When I came back I decided to try out Fishing Buddy and after about 15 minutes of fishing with this addon I finally cought the sum'&*!@#.

Feeling really lucky after reading about the horror stories some people shared here.

As a horde player I flew into Ironforge and reached the back of the pool where it is possible to sit down and thus hide beneath the water.

I was spotted by a dwarf almost immediately.

He rafted over to me, sat beside me and fished and drank beer and roleplayed with me for THREE HOURS. Very friendly chap.

I caught the following in my hunt for Old Ironjaw:

247x Longjaw Mud Snapper
90x Raw Brilliant Smallfish
82x Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
1x Lesser Healing Potion
1x Seer's Gloves
1x Edged Bastard Sword of Stamina
1x 17 Pound Catfish
2x 19 Pound Catfish

I have a lot of alts, and when I am not working on them, I usually park them in an area that has daily fishing and cooking quests, a pretty painless way of getting some XP. So I had done the "Young ironjaw" daily quest a few times, but I had no idea that Old Ironjaw was a thing.

I was locked out of my main alt and decided to log into my level 5 gnome. I ran her to Ironforge and got her fishing and cooking. Level 5 is not eligible for daily quests, but I was bored and thought I would cast her up to 75 fish.

At cast 51 I caught Old Ironjaw and got an achievement on my screen. I mentioned it to my boyfriend and he was... grrr... I guess he's spent a lot of hours casting for it and hasn't got it.

For several days, without hope and success, praying to all the five Gods of RNG and every existing guardian angels in Heaven or Hell, whichever I belong to after cursing and forgiving for every sin I made in the last month, I'm just throwing a hook into shallow waters and with crossed fingers pull it back every so often to see nothing but 1 Copper worth of useless junk piling up in my backpack. Whoever blessed this fish with all the might to evade even the most epic casts ever took place on Azeroth, may God bless You. I shall sing songs of your wisdom and make sacrifices of pure server time on the very altar in The Forlorn Cavern that slowly becoming my tomb, encasing my soul forever in the deadliest of duels between man and fish for all eternity. With only a small counter slowly rising in number smiling in the corner of my view, the only companion I had, feeling all the hatred of a Horde player stuck in the Alliance city of Ironforge, manwiched constantly for even setting foot in their holy city in the first place.

The long lived legend of the mightiest fish ever lived on the hallowed crust of Azeroth, was besieged by a thought quicker than the speed of light, a flash of idea, that formed behind the very flesh and bone of my head. However, legends are born with a reason; to stand for itself for all eternity, unbroken by time itself. With all my might I've tried and failed to break the very foundations of this myth, to catch "The legendary uncatchable fish of Ironforge". For every failed attempt, a new part of me cried out in pain, even those I knew nothing of its origin or existence. The veins of my eyes slowly popping while watching the number of fails rise beyond 10000. The thought of me holding this fish was slowly overrun by the pain and regret of fishing and getting killed constantly for 6 days straight. However after all that I've witnessed and everything I've been through, I'm committed to experience the end of this battle, even if it results in me being torn apart by rampage and fury. May this statement be my solemn oath, my testament to not only this world, but every world hereafter. Let these thoughts stand as a promise for all mankind, that when I catch this fish, I'll find a way to cook and consume it with a Joker-like smile grinding on my face, the very sweat of my ancestors seeping through my skin, the thoughts of a mysterious legend broken and my suffering avenged.

My Father told me once, that Lady Luck will point towards me and bless my very footsteps. Sadly he never mentioned which finger will be pointed at me.

Thank You for reading through my tale, Wanderer. May the stars of Elune shine Your path.

The Forsaken Cavern may not be his only hiding spot.
I may be mistaken but im pretty sure the icon for Old Ironjaw appeared briefly before i carelessly hit ESC and closed the bobber's inventory (that's twice I've gone n done that now, dammit). But on this occasion I was fishing for Arctic Char at Helm's Bed Lake on an Ironforge fishing daily.
I wonder if anyone else has had a similar occurrence?

keoShine의 댓글

I was in Ironforge waiting for my hearthstones to cooldown and figured I'd try my hand at catching him for a bit while I was there.

Caught him in 69 casts at the Forsaken Cavern (profession level 814 when I started, 739 when my lure ran out and I didn't feel like reapplying it). My hearthstones still weren't even off CD by the time I reeled him in. I feel like a god.

Now for Old Crafty...

As tempting as it is to say this guy can be caught more than once, I'm more inclined to think that one of the two Old Ironjaws (perhaps both?) now occupying space in my bank is an imposter.

Which suggests that the Bloated Mud Snapper I'm trying to pull out of Ironforge is officially better at evading my lures than Old Ironjaw was. Or is. (?)

Fishing! It's why our toons drink so much Lager.

THIS SHOULD BE AN ACHIEVEMENT IN ITSELF

TryChick의 댓글

Took me about 30 min on my main with 700 fishing. Ephemeral Fishing Pole (+100). I had caught a Lunarfall Carp in my garrison, threw it back in and killed the cave dweller, it gave me the pole. I got a Hightfish Cap (+100) the same way. Also had on a Worm Supreme (+200). So my fishing level was 1100. Fished this bad boy up at 8:50 a.m. EST after about 30 min of casting. I had taken the tram in to see what the daily was as I'm trying for all these fishing achievements and had one more to get for Fish or Cut Bait: Ironforge. I already had it and decided to camp out and go for Old Ironjaw. Woo whoo!

I just fished up Old Crafty today as well at 9:40 am EST. It took me about 30 min of casting as I skulked next to the waterfall in The Valley of Wisdom. Same setup, but caught him when my Worm Supreme had expired.

$%^& this fish, that is all.

Its the last fish achivement I need, and tried for year's. Lately I fished for it alot more...Right now, as of 1. May 2016 I just fished up the "1 ring". I also fished up a green item the other week.

I tried for so many year's casually. Maybe Im doing it wrong or my char is bugged. Got atleast 2500-3000 fishes.

EDIT: HOLY MOTHER @#$%ER ITS OVER! I GOT IT...Got home from running a quick run, food and on with more fishing and I got it same @#$%ing day I fish up the 1 ring...jesus this ^&*!ing RNG in WoW. Sorry but RNG shouldent even be a thing at times...

I literally wanted this fish since I got ogrimmar fish like pre-wotlk? when achivements was made. Its over....

Using the wierd tenteale hat, PLAIN vendor bought fishing rod (I tried switch out rod's now and then + different consums/gear) with the WOD +200 fish lure

260 x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper

Sub-700 fishing (started at 515ish, ended at 695, though not all of those levels were from Forlorn Cavern fishing), only using the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat and it's +75 lure and the Bone Fishing Pole (+30).

SxyVixn의 댓글

780 casts, as a horde, in the Forlorn Caverns. I didn't have too much trouble fishing there as horde. Sure I got ganked a couple times, but for the most part, I just sat at the back of the pool and fished un-bothered. This was on Lothar, other realms may be different.

As of patch 7.0.3.22293 Old Ironjaw's appearance is not unlocked/saved in the new transmogrification system.

I'm a level 110 night elf Demon Hunter. I was first training archaeology and in the meenwalle i was fishing pools al over Azeroth. Then I looked trough my fishing achievements on what I can achief.
The legendary uncatchable fish of Ironforge, Old Ironjaw.
Old Crafty I fish up in 2015, juni 27. I dont know how long it tuck me to catch it but if was not long.
So I went to Ironforge to fish for Old Ironjaw. Well fishing with sound, auto-loot and fullscreen I was first reading all the comments on this page for fun and the I thought to my self I still need to do some homework. So I took a break to grap my homework and then I continued fishing.
I heard the sound, looted, recast and do it over again.
After 4 hours end 5 minutes and with 914 casts I got:
551 - Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
190 - Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
163 - Raw Brilliant Smallfish
3 - 17 Pound Catfish
2 - Lesser Healing Potion
2 - Lesser Mana Potion
1 - 19 Pound Catfish
1 - Buccaneer's Gloves of the Eagle
1 - Old Ironjaw

My fishing was at lv 470. Now it is at lv 657.
With (Strong Fishing Pole) +5 fishing skill and 9 (Bright Baubles) jure +75 fishing skill.

The legendary uncatchable fish of Ironforge. Just holding this scaly old monster makes you feel tough.

For those who love fishing but dont got him have patience and dont give up!

Just got it!
I was prepared to stay a long time but it took maybe 15-20 minutes.
I came into ironforge with lvl70 fishing and now I just hit 250. Just using a strong fishing rod and sleeping in the water while I fished.
On to Org I guess.

Got mine today! I've went a few times and didn't track. Past 2 days I spent time to get this guy. I had a few visits from Alliance...they didn't bother me. Mostly low levels, 1 x 110...I was better geared though. Here is what I caught:

2384 x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
577 x Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
422 x Raw Brilliant Smallfish
6 x Lesser Mana Potion
5 x 17 Pound Catfish
4 x 19 Pound Catfish

2 x Bloated Mud Snapper (had 1 xTigerseye and 1 x Shadowgem in each)
1 x Cadet Leggings of the Gorrila
1 x Old Ironjaw

3,406 catches over 2 days

Nothing special worked, tried lures, brew, artifact rod, etc. In the end, time was the best lure

Catching this fish wasn't hard at all.
It just took me 6,5 hours, 2184 loots and a few antidepressants.

So I sent my horde mage to IF tonight. 37 swings -> ? -> profit.

But I also have to admit I tried fish Old Ironjaw on my ally toons years ago. So basically I guess I have had somewhere near 500 swing without result. But again. I've fished Dark Herring in Northrend for the Salty title back in '14 and that sucker only took me +8-9000 swings. :)

When fishing in the Folorn Cavern in Ironforge, you have a chance to catch 늙은 무쇠턱, which awards the achivement 늙은 무쇠턱.

그림누르 스톤브랜드, at the top of some steps, and visible by the daily quest he offers, is a fishing trainer.
If you walk past him and enter the building, you'll find 탄지 퍼들피즈, who sells fishing supplies.

It took me 530 casts, using an alt with a skill level of approximately 500 to 600.

Luponicus의 댓글

So yesterday, while on my new Dwarven DK, lvl 68, with a skill of 35 fishing, no lure, and a strong fishing pole, i fished up Old Ironjaw. I have been playing this game for 14 or so years, off and on, have spent many a drunken night at that hole<giggity> trying to get the achievement, on my main, who is max fishing, with fishing gear, lures, etc, to no avail. What was funny, was that I had been there for like 20 mins on my DK, and out of curiosity, asked in guild chat, "Has anyone fished up Old Ironjaws recently, is it even still in the game?". then i hit cast, and bam!, lol there it was in my inventory, and got the achievement. I then took a break and went to 7-11 and bought a couple powerball and megamillions tickets, lol. Point is, don't let anyone tell you that you need a certain amount of skill, or to be in a certain spot. We are just all at the mercy of the RNG Gods.

Good Luck everyone!
