[Fishing] Get Giant Sewer Rat while doing Dalaran Fountain coins achievement

[justinope]

I've been waiting to finally have something to post here that is genuine and worthwhile, hope you all enjoy it!

Here is how to fish up a Giant Sewer Rat at the same time as doing your Coins achievement:

what you will want to do is stand as pictured in these 2 images


when you are up against the wall it will look like this:



as you see in the first image sometimes casts will land outside of the fountain and look like you are fishing in the cement. what I found was that regardless of where the cast lands (either edge of fountain or cement) it will count as an eligible place to get coins and the Giant Sewer Rat.

I stumbled upon this by complete accident. being a gnome I had to stand here while fishing in the Dalaran Fountain due the to "water is out of line of sight" error from being too short for the normal fishing spot. imagine my surprise when I was a few coins from coin master and a giant sewer rat popped up in my loot window

Also, I was using a fishing bot to fish here as I'm sure most people that do the coin achievement do. I recommend Mr. Fish It very highly from the Bots and Programs section if you are interested in one also.


If you have any questions feel free to ask. I tried to picture it here as completely as possible. cheers!



EDIT: You will also want to get a auto loot BoP items add-on. The one I used is located here: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nfirmLoot.html Thanks for the correction Traz!

I think the item doesn't get looted with a fishbot, correct me if I'm wrong.
Repped anyways, nice find

with NoBoPWarningaddon, no problem

The one I was using called "Mr. Fish It" will actually auto loot for you assuming you have it checked in your Interface options. I highly recommend this bot as it is a stroke of genius and I've had very little problems with it.

Thanks for the rep


EDIT: Yes, my bad. You meant the BoP item factor. You will also need a Auto Loot BoP add-on. I'll update my post with the one I used in a moment.

Nice guide !

You can't get coins and the rat only one or the other, depending on where your cast lands.

Sadly I've already gotten my Titanium Seal of Dalaran.

But +Rep for the guide and for listing the BoP addon!

whats interesting is that even though I think that may possibly be the case- I ended up getting my coin achievement and the rat all within the same day fishing/botting from this spot.

the main reason I posted this guide was because my experience with it was a very good one

Nice find indeed!

Confirmed, fished up my Giant Sewer Rat using that spot. Thanks!
