Talk:Old Crafty

For Alliance players trying to get the Fishing achievements, it's easier to go into Orgrimmar from the western side (crossing the Southfury River from the northern tip of the Barrens) and using the Valley of Spirits. If you can't go invisible, you may die once, but there are lots of good areas out of aggro range of the guards (assuming you're of a sufficient level) along the way. Or, you can invest in an Invisibility Potion and hope it doesn't pop. After crossing the bridge, follow the road as it curves to the south, staying to the right to avoid patrols. You can slip into the watery area by hugging the rocky wall. Getting out? Well, taht's why Hearthstones were invented.

Actually catching Old Crafty is another matter. You're going to be there for a loooong time; I've made 400 casts so far and haven't seen the fellow. I suggest going late at night, during school hours, or just after a patch when the server comes back online, to minimize the number of Hordies that will attack. Remember that your PvP flag will be on the whole time, being in enemy territory. And if by chance the Horde lets you fish there, make sure you return the compliment when they fish in Ironforge.--ClemSnide (talk) 01:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I need to try this myself at some point but I want to see if anyone else can confirm it. The other day a friend was getting the Org elder and figured he would do the instance while he was there for the achievement. He noticed that when he was finished his PvP flag was reset and when he zoned back into Org it did not get turned on. Was this just a glitch or is this actually a way to fish in Org without getting ganked by horde? Keep in mind this was a PvE server. Ifandbut (talk) 18:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Old Crafty Achievement
I don't know if they've changed something, but I have been sitting in Org for about 4-5 hours now.

I've fished up: 181 Longjaw Mud Snappers 60 Bristle Whisker Catfish 51 Brilliant Smallfish 26 Baby Crocolisk 1 Lesser Healing Potion

And No Old Crafty!

I even picked up the Crocolisk in the City daily from the fishing guy in Shattrath yesterday.

So don't count on this working. This is after the patch. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.
