So does anyone know where to "fish" for this rat, in the crater or is it a LK thing?

Commento di 82413

i believe you will be able to fish this as soon as WoTLK is released, while playing WoTLK you will be able to visit the city of Dalaran which was removed from eastern kingdoms in 3.0.2.

Commento di Matsumi

You need at least 430 to cast and 525 to avoid get aways.

Commento di 70455

So is anywhere in the Underbelly okay to fish in, or do you need to be in a specific part?

Commento di Assassinman

The waters of Dalaran require 430 effective fishing skill to cast, 525 to stop fish getting away.

I obtained mine about 50 casts down by the Cantrips & Crows. I was waterwalking out by the gate in the water. Careful its BoP so you do get a message to accept picking it up. My fishing was 450. I had equipped a +20 fishing rod and a bright bauble that was +75 fishing.

Commento di 183589

Fished mine up at cantrips and crows today. Took less than 50 casts. Pure luck probably, but it definitely can be fished up there, so don't give up :)

Commento di Cobblers

Got my pet rat today after about 800 casts.

Dropped within the Cantrips & Crows, with me standing right at the end of the pier.

Commento di 6120

OK, people will hate me or something, but I got my Giant Rat in 14 casts in Cantrips & Crows.

Commento di 286416

Well something good came of all the d/c's i have been having all i could do was fish and sure enough i fished up the rat on the 4th cast lol. I was in cantrips and crows fishing off the dock there. I have though fished before over 1000 casts and did not get it. Good luck on your fishing it up.

Commento di 240318

I just caught it after 9 hrs of fishing, unfortunately i recast before i looted, still debating if im gonna try to catch it......again.

EDIT: Caught it a second time after 153 more casts while waiting to talk to a GM about the first time lol

Commento di 255074

Ok here is the break down on fishing in the Underbelly of Dalaran. There are 3 places to fish, The Black Market, Circle of Wills, and Cantrips and Crows. The Giant Sewer Rat can be caught in any of these 3 locations.

I fished all 3 locations with Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole, Weather Beaten Fishing Hat, and Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots. I used the +75 Fishing Skill boost you get by using the hat to apply a lure to the pole. This gave me 565 fishing.

The Black Market
Sewer Carp = 47.2%
Magic Eater = 26.4%
Empty Vial = 11.3%
Drowned Rat = 11.3%
Partially Eaten Fish = 3.8%

Circle of Wills
Sewer Carp = 77.4%
Magic Eater = 18.0%
Empty Vial = 2.3%
Reinforced Crate = 1.5%
Crystallized Water = 0.9%

Cantrips and Crows
Sewer Carp = 57.8%
Magic Eater = 23.0%
Empty Vial = 7.0%
Drowned Rat = 5.3%
Partially Eaten Fish = 4.8%
Imbued Vial = 0.5%
Enchanted Vial = 0.5%
Crystal Vial = 0.5%
Leaded Vial = 0.5%

I've been trying to fish this thing up for about a month now...

I have very bad luck -_-

Commento di 298210

Got mine last night. Fished from 5pm - 11pm Sunday, and 7pm - 9pm Monday. Not 100% sure about the # of casts, but it was somewhere around 1200. As most say, I confirm that I got mine at Cantrips & Crows. I fished it at the end of the dock, facing the most open water at the end, no trick here but saying as when you are casting the 800th time you start second guessing yourself. Good luck & good patience!

Commento di 131876

Actually, this is NOT a criteria of the achievement Accomplish Angler and the title "salty"

Commento di 255327

Spent about an hour and a half on this today (total of about 8 hours over 3 days trying). Finally got it.

Commento di splunge

I saw this posted somewhere, i dont remember where, some time ago, and today i decided to give it a try:

1. Get the Crocolisks in the City daily in your log, but dont complete it.
2. Join a raid. Ask a buddy to make a group and convert to raid.
3. Get an Underbelly Elixir, and get the "Hungry Tuskarr" buff (+50 fishing skill)
4. Go fishing for the Giant Rat (or Mr Pinchy).

Doing this i got the Giant Rat on the 17th cast.

No idea if it will work for you, or if I just got really lucky.

Commento di HedderPilsner

I caught my sewer rat in Cantrips and Crowes. I was standing in the little boat on the side next to the dock where the fishing supply vendor is for almost 2 hours before I gave up and switched sides after catching over 20 empty vials and a ton of carp. I ran over to the boardwalk that is on the second level up, on the opposite side of the dock with the fishing vendor where the path to enter and leave the sewer is, and caught the rat on like the 5th try.

Commento di 307391

ok what made this achievement alot easier was haveing the epic fishing pole from hitting exhaulted with the kalu'ak Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole with Aquadynamic Fish Attractor or the hooks that you get from the shat fish daily and they stack with the hungry tuskar buff you can get with the underbelly pots that u find in the underbelly wich brings your plus to fishing to 180

Commento di 45173

Ehrm the drops in raids never really dropped for me..
But atleast it seems that i'm a good fisherman :D

Found it on Wowhead and tryed my luck
1. try - Empty vial
2. try - Giant Sewer Rat :D

Fished in the Blackmarket
Just aside the shark :)

Good Luck !

Commento di Liquidor

Submitted a screenshot of exactly where you can stand to fish for the rat!
Good luck fishing.

Having the Fishing Daily does not improve your changes for a catch btw.

Note: Got mine after 83 catches <3

Commento di 73416

For those of you fishing with autoloot be very careful that you do not move or recast when you have the BoP loot popup on the screen, or you will lose the rat. I can confirm that you do NOT get the achievement for catching the rat, as you might think with the wording of the achievement. Instead you get the achievement when you loot the rat. Note this is different, and thus unexpected, from the Old Crafty/Old Ironjaw achievements, which you complete simply by fishing up the fish, regardless of whether you looted it or not.

I was fishing up the rat under the impression that you didn't have to pay much attention because you would hear the achievement noise upon catching it, and thus would be less likely to accidentally move or recast. But this is not the case, so take heed fishers!

Commento di 322140

I was lucky enough to fish up one of these about 15 minutes before a server shutdown. It took me less than 10 minutes on this particular day. I fished it up from the sewers in Cantrips and Crows, Dalaran. I was standing on the lower platform under the deck.

My fishing skill was at 450, with a +100 fish hook attached to the Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 fishing rod.

Commento di 325944

hi id like to add my story of catching the rat. i fished from 6am till about 1pm, wasnt paying attention when i cought the rat and cast out again :(. so i lost it. continued fishing until 11 pm that night then started at 6 am again, i finnaly just cought it at 11:25 am. So im thinkin that fishing for it from the very begining will take about 10-12 hours. i dnt know the exact # of casts but i filled up 3 20 slot bags 2 and a half times, on the 2nd time fishing for it. so to those that have cought it after 10 casts grats, but if your tryn for this b prepared to sit there 4 a lil bit, but make sure u pay attention to wat u catch. i cought it both times at the end of the dock at cantrips and crows

Commento di 254871

As of patch 3.1, it is no longer required to have a minimum of 430 fishing skill to cast in Dalaran (or anywhere now I believe). Had 244 Fishing at the time and +100 lure attached with +20 skill from fishing rod, putting me at 364 skill level total. Managed to fish up this guy and skill up to 245 Fishing at the same time after a good half hour or so of fishing in the Underbelly.

Commento di 226154

Well, I guess it's time to make everyone angry. Out of superstition i pulled my 4 stack of rabbit's foot out of the bank. Whether it works or not, with a fishing skill of 256 and a +100 item on my rod, I caught him in 3 casts. Cantrips and Crows.

Raises the question, doesn't it? Are they lucky? Last time I had them on me I scored an Azure Whelpling in less than 30 minutes.

Commento di 353041

So I have been fishing for this the past couple days. I am at 388 skill with a +30 from pole and +100 from lure and havent got anything but junk basically. I see a guy get the achievement for 25 fish. 2 min later he gets the sewer rat. So all of the notes saying how high your fishing has to be is wrong. Not long after he got the rat he got 50 fish. I feel like I wasted all my time. So just fyi to everyone that it doesnt matter what your fishing skill is to get this pet

Commento di 327580

got mine after about 15mins in Cantrips and Crows. Time to test my luck on the turtle!

Commento di astrall

Just got mine after 3 hrs of fishing @450 fishing and +100 lure in the Cantrips and Crows part of the sewers. Was getting really bored and was reading the comments here and noticed someone mentioned Underbelly Elixir. Remembered I had found one in the sewers the other day so drank it. It turned me into a wasp which I thought probably wouldn't help much, but....I buzzed around over the surface of the water, cast my rod while still in the water and got the Rat on the first try!

Commento di 355900

for what its worth.. did this in just 44 casts.. maxed fishing +35 (buffs from pole and hat)
cantrips and crows... over by the right side down the ramp to the water.. other side was crowded.
only misses i had were when i wasnt paying attention.

Commento di aluk

I had to register just to say this. I was fishing all day for this guy, and finally got him. I fish with auto loot on, to make things faster. Weird thing was, there was no dialog box that popped up asking me to accept the rat, it just went straight into my inventory just like any normal fish.

I don't know if they changed that about the rat in 3.1, or what... But apparently there's no confirmation box required to accept the rat.

Commento di Draekesfury

newest patch allows you to fish anywhere anytime, so this quest should be available to everyone now regardless of fishing level.

Commento di 85609

With the fishing changes I was fishing in the Cantrips and Crows part of the sewers and caught my rat with a 303 fishing skill. took about 15 minutes.

Commento di Ghostthunter

ok, just got the lil bugger with 450 fishing, a 100fishing lure, and a +10 fishing pole. Took me about 15 casts. Got it in Cantrips and Crows :)

Commento di 270268

I got this achievement after about 5 days of fishing in the Sewers. Got it on the left side of Cantrips and Crows.

- Last night was doing fishing daily and fished up another one! However once I left the sewers it despawned from
my bag. My assumption is since I already had learned the summons that WoW will not let you keep another one.
Not that I would want to, other then to boast at my guild members who have been fishing for over a month and have
not caught it. :)

Commento di 364679

I don't know if this made a difference, but after two weeks of fishing for this rat for two hours at least every day, I finally got my rat on the came cast that I fished up my Corroded Jewelry for the quest Jewel of the Sewers. Maybe it works along the same line as the crocolisk quest?

Commento di 256389

As I have been reading those nice subjects while I fished, I first have to say : Ty for your contributions =)

Then, I do confirm that auto-loot does work now, as you will not see a yes or no question window pop as you achieve this.

I did not loot it first time, more likely it was on my 3 500 catch.

Hope never dies, and you will have it if you keep on trying.

Do not loose hope, that's the key, and have fun while trying, do not hesitate to loose some catch as you discuss with other, they are not your enemies, it is independant event, so they will not loot yours but theirs.

(though I do have to agree it is so much easier to agree if you see no one achieving this as you cast your 3 499th catch. :=) ).

Commento di Deathdealers

Hi, i would like to say that this is definitly based on luck and unfortunatly i have none :(
I did 483 casts in Cantrips and Crows, did not catch him, and gave up, Did it another day for aprox 200 casts in same place, still did not catch him. GL to those who try to catch him.

My 483 casts took about 1hr 30min, and the 200 casts the next day took about 45min.

Commento di phreakdb

caught it with a collective fishing skill of 220.

215 + Strong Fishing Pole

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Venture+Co&n=Gabryell

Location: In front of the bar itself, in the little nook with the drain. not the one with the boards going down to the water, but one on the other side. I won't touch my fishing for a while. Just shows, there is no skill requirement.

Commento di Loftie

I have just finished this with my second level 80. With the first one I got it by accident when doing the daily by Cantrips. A real bonus. The second alt. I set out to do it. I gave up counting casts but I think it was between 850-900 (spread over 3 days). I had done about 30 casts into the third day when it dropped. As others have said definitly a luck thing.

By the way, both done with auto loot on with no problems.

Commento di 403252

Hey guys, caught it within 10 minutes. I went to Cantrips & Crows and stood on the dock to the left of the fisherman in the boat.I stood on the upper left corner of the dock, and aimed more towards the left so that the bobber would hit right up against the wall. My skill was 370 (+135). Used Seth's fising pole, had a fishing hat, and a glow worm lure.

Why there? My logic is that the bobber has to land in "The Underbelly". Just like how people can catch it in the Dalaran Fountain is because their bobber landed in The Underbelly. So even though you are standing in Cantrips & Crows, your bobber is landing in The Underbelly.

Good luck!

Commento di 352883

I just caught mine at the Cantrips and Crows Tavern. Only about 20 or so casts, but I was to the right of the tavern. I had Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (+25 fishing), a +100 lure, and the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat that you get from the fishing dailies, which added +5. So total I was at 580 fishing.

Commento di Skymasaki

I must be a lucky one... I fished the Giant Sewer Rat in 15 casts. I was on the docks in The Cantrips and Crow Tavern. My fishing is 380 and I had a Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20 fishing) with a Bright Bauble (+75 fishing).

Commento di Destler

I got this last night after fishing for about 2 hours total. I am a grand master fisherman and I was using simply a iron fishing pole and the sparkly beads you can buy. Ironically enough, I caught the rat without any buffs (I wasn't paying attention to my buff running out.) But my fishing was not over 400 unbuffed. So keep at it, you can do it.

I was on the docks at the Cantrips and Crow Tavern. Seems to be a lucky spot.

Commento di 342407

Stood on the dock at the Cantrips and Crows, fished it up after just 10 casts at 5.17 AM server time.

Commento di 323326

hahah just got this on my warlock Senith, Draenor US PVE.

I saw that most of you said you got it in the Cantrips and Crows area, so I went, applied the glow worm to my kaluak pole and 2nd cast, I got it =]

Now if only I could be so lucky with the sea turtle and old ironjaw...

Commento di 431655

Just got it :D
... and I got it in the Black Market so it most likely doesn't matter where in the sewers you fish for it.
I fished for it mostly in Cantrips & Crows (first 3-400 casts) Then I moved to the Black Market and some 50+ casts later I got it.

I suspect every skillpoint in fishing you can get matters. I had 655 fishing skill when i caught it.
Also got https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=27388 a few days ago after 30-40 minutes (not gotten the ach yet... have 2 more tries). Had fishing at 500+ when i got it

How I got 655 fishing skill:
Fishing skill 450
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=19970 Arcanite Fishing Pole +40
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=19971 High Test Eternium Fishing Line +5
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=19969 Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots +5
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=33820 Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat +5
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=6533 Aquadynamic Fish Attractor +100
and the Tuskarr outfit from https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=44012 +50

I can have gotten lucky with these but i suspect it has more to do with the fact my fishing skill was very high.
Gonna try fishing in Ironforge next (behind enemy lines) with the same approach: As many skill points in fishing as possible :)

Commento di 141414

Don't even bother trying to cast redemption on a drowned rat, it doesn't work. ;)

Just got mine today! I know several of people, who fished the GIANT rat up from the ramp right to the inn (when you're facing the inn) - which also is where I got my rat.

Happy fishing! (Took me around 6 hours....)

Commento di ZiaGaming

Got him today. 741 casts. Off the platform facing open water at cantrips and crows. Pretty nifty pet if i say so myself.

Commento di 173429

I've now been fishing for a grand total of 9.5 hours.... i've watched 5 people get the achievement (one of whom had fishing at lvl 9... NINE)... so i know there's no problem with the spot (cantrips & crows)...

I'm slowly losing the will to live, but it's at the point now where i've invested so much time, i can't QUIT!

please.... send help... blankets.... vodka....

Ok I tried at the docks at the bar for sometime. Kept getting fish. So started fishing in different spots under the bar.

I saw a rat running around and wondered if that had something to do with it so tried fishing under where the path it takes.

After a while I noticed I was getting a lot of Drowned Rat and partially eaten fish from one particular spot so I kept fishing there. Got the giant rat 10 mins after in that spot. :D

All in one day. Old Crafty, Crawdad and the rat. :)

Commento di Zorgnet

Is this achievement just luck or does it actually take a certain spot and fishing skill to catch it?

I spent 6+ hours trying to fish this and I havn't had much luck...
16 stacks of Sewer Carp
8 stacks of Magic Eater
3 stacks of Empty Vial
1 stack of Leaded Vial
3 stacks of Drowned Rat
2 stacks of Partially Eatten Fish
1 stack of Sickly Fish
1 Enchanted Vial
4 Crystalized Vials
No Giant Sewer Rat

What is up with this?

I'm currently at 1135 casts, no rat yet.

Commento di 450768

Hardly a valuable comment, but I'm just so happy: I got the Sewer Rat while doing the daily Jewel of the Sewer. And more than that: three casts after, I got 1000 Fish too. I'm going to bed feeling good now. :-)

Commento di Tuberon

I spent over 2000 casts to get mine, a couple months ago.

Yesterday, I'm doing the daily in the sewers and I get a second one on my first cast. I hate the RNG.

Got it last night in the fountain, was going for coins. SO its confirmed it IS available in the fountain...

Commento di bokou

figured I'd skill up my fishing in the Dalaran sewers since it's pretty quiet down there - after skilling up from 150ish to 251 skill I caught this guy. You don't have to be capped out on your fishing to get it as I was only at 341 after lure and rumsey's lager.

Commento di bglasgow

I have been fishing for about 20+ hours with over 2200 casts, i have been in Catrips, Circle, Black Market, and the Fountain (even completed the three Coin achievements during this). I use the Underbelly Elixir and with my lures and gear i am at 450+185 so i dont think it is a level issue. I am almost to the point where i dont even care if i get this achievement anymore, but not quite done trying yet.

Commento di 514382

finally after 3 days in the sewers i got it.
now here are my statistics...

aproximatly 20 hours of only fishing, 9 hours one day, 6 or 7 the next day, and the third day like 2 hours.

i fished all the time in the same spot after reading the posts here, cantrips and crows, on both ends of the dock there.

i fished like:

300 sewer carps
100 magic eaters
30 or 40 empty vials
like 30 pieces of junk (partially eaten fish, drowned rat, tattered cloth....)
5 enchanted vials
10 leaded vials

I decided to do the Dalaran fishing daily today. I don't do it often. It was Jewel of the Sewer. I got the rat on my first cast. I was kinda surprised. Maybe this quest increase the drop rate of getting items. I'm not sure about it tho.

Commento di 514382

it took me about 3 days to get this little sucker. the first day i spent at least six or seven hours fishing in cantrips and crows and all i got was pure crap.

after reading all the posts i assumed this was the best spot to get him. the third day i spent at least 15 min fishing at the end of the dock where the little boat is and then i switched to the other end and got it in my third or fourth cast. what a luck!

so people do what i did nd just put on a movie, start casting like crazy and just listen to the splash sound when u catch something.

Commento di Caspivity

Took me about 2 hours or 260 cast to get this achievement. Nice rat though. Caught him in the circle of wills

Commento di 503502

Anyone knows if this rat can be caught when you're in a raidgroup?
I guess you can, since this is not a questitem, but I am not sure...

Commento di CaptainDope

I got it today after only about 50 tries :)

Commento di kingjim

on fishing in general you can no longer lose a fish at any lvl or location
and u have to loot something for it to be considered as caught this detail jiped
me out of a few coins from the fountain cause the buff from the gold coin wore off the moment i caught it

Commento di 178843

I got it today finally when i was doing the Jewelry daily. Wasn't even thinking about getting the pet.

I guess that goes to show you RNG works in your favor when you aren't asking it to >.>
Good luck all you fisherman and fisherwomen :)

You don't have to be in the Dalaran sewers to fish this up. I just got mine fishing at the fountain. Hah, I wasn't even paying attention when I clicked on it, I was fishing for the last gold coin. About 30 minutes fishing, up comes the rat, but no gold coin. :(

Commento di 572958

Just got him less then 5 mins ago on Muradin. Now I don't know if it helps you to have maxed fishing, but all I had was a strong fishing pole (+5) and an Aquadynamic Fish Attractor (+100). My fishing Skill was at 307/375. So my fishing would have been 480. No hat, nothing fancy...and this might make some of you cringe....I got him on my 4th cast. Now I will be the first to say...THIS IS NOT COMMON what so ever! I got him after weeks and weeks of trying. I had given up and had nothing to do today so figured I could try for just a second and BAM! my giant rat friend appeared! Good luck!

I just caught this. I spent an hour last night at the dock of Cantrips & Crows with no success. Just spent ten minutes tonight and caught it at the same exact location. Twenty-eight casts. 450 fishing skill, Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole and a Glow Worm.

Commento di 576224

Got mine on my 7th or 8th cast while doing my fishing daily. Bone fishing pole, 355 fishing.
Wish I could get as lucky with the turtle.

Commento di Wowpixel

Got this now with 450 fishing skill; Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole and using Bright Baubles (445 skill total), at the dock with the fishing supply trader. Took about 35 minutes of fishing.

Note: it's pure 525+ fishing for no "get aways" and luck (RNG).

Commento di 386711

Wooo! Just caught it! I was fishing in the Eventide fountain for my last pesky gold coin for the achievement. Cast landed in the far right back corner near the wall, & I caught the Giant Sewer Rat! Achievement was given as soon as I looted the rat, not upon "using" it.

FYI: I'm at 450/450 fishing skill, had a Glowworm on pole for +100 skill, & was under the influence of a Lucky buff from tossing a Gold coin back into the fountain. Was using Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole.

After coming back after a year, thought I'd give this achievement another try..three casts and I had it, could not believe my eyes...

Commento di LexDozel

I just got this with an effective fishing skill of 244 (239 base + lure)

I feel sorry for everyone else because I wasn't even looking for it...

Commento di 560485

I am not sure if this means anything or if it is just coincidence. I have been farming this little bast*** off an on for the past couple of months. More than 2,000 casts at Catnips and Crows. I got the "Corroded Jewelry" daily today and caught this bugger on the second cast. Next stop, turtle mount city!

(Fished at 680. 450 fishing, + the Tuscar buff, fishing lure, fishing hat and buffed up pole.)
