Foram 5 dias, fazendo + - 100 caps por dia. No quinto dia a primeira tentativa já veio o mascote.

Cosa linda.

Comentado por Glynnda

Consegui em 4 minutos... Usei uma isca de pesca q dá +100 e pesquei na parte Urubu e Urucubacas... Foi bem rápido!

Comentado por Manjare

Peguei o meu na parte Urubu e Urucubacas. depois de 1163 tentativas.

Comentado por sesmena

Eu fiquei tentando pescar no Urubu e Urucubacas por dias e não saiu nada. Daí eu percebi que ele estava na parte Círculo dos desejos. Eu joguei o anzol perto do ratinho que fica junto com as tartarugas e saiu na primeira. O ratinho com as tartarugas chega a ser uma dica fofa dos desenvolvedores. (ver captura de tela) <3

Comentado por Zakaro

Demorei cerca de umas 3 a 4 horas para pegar.
Dica: Coloque o volume no alto e tire a musica do jogo e fique vendo TV, quando vc ouvir a isca puxar vc clica e depois joga de novo. Isso ajuda a passar o tempo enquanto pesca.

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

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por Matsumi

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

Comentado por 70455

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

Comentado por 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.

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 :)

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.

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%

Comentado por 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!

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

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por 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

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

Comentado por 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!

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por 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

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.

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por 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

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!

Comentado por 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.

Comentado por 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.

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. :)

Comentado por 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?

Comentado por 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. :=) ).

Comentado por 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.

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.

Comentado por 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!

Comentado por 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.

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).

Comentado por 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.

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 http://www.wowhead.com/?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
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19970 Arcanite Fishing Pole +40
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19971 High Test Eternium Fishing Line +5
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19969 Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots +5
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33820 Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat +5
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6533 Aquadynamic Fish Attractor +100
and the Tuskarr outfit from http://www.wowhead.com/?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 :)

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. :)

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.

Comentado por 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
bet. 5 or 6 cristal and imbued vials
1 giant rat

i was using mastercraft kalu'ak fishing pole, 450 fishing skill and sharpened fish hook (100 skill for 10 minutes)

good luck for you people still looking for it, next stop for me the turtle.

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.

Comentado por 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.

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. :(

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 started for this quest probably when fishing was near 150. I finally got it at 497 by fishing off the pier in Cantrip and Crows. I've spent several weeks off and on working on my fishing skill solely in the Dalaran underbelly so I could kill two birds with one stone (get the achievement and also up my fishing skill).

I made sure I was using nightcrawlers or something so I had extra fishing skill, obviously. It just takes a lot of time and annoyance, as it is a very rare drop. Unlike one poster above, I did get a confirmation box to accept the rat item, but I didn't have auto-loot on. It's just like any other item that drops.

Comentado por 742912

Just got it on my 37th cast, at 46, 45 facing West. 485 skill +25 for the pole, got it just after my Aquadynamic lure wore off. Nice that it also gave me my 15th companion too. I had auto-loot on, no problems there.

Fished this up from the Eventide fountain near the fishing trainer. Spent quite a lot of time and am a gold coin away from The Coin Master, and got this little surprise before it. Just to confirm that it can in fact be caught from there, just as long as your fishing hook lands near the rocks/close to edges. All in all it might be tedious if your fishing hook starts landing anywhere but near the rocks or edges, but if you dont mind going for two achievements at once, it would be an ideal spot. Good Luck to all fishers ;)

Just got him & fished for about 90 minutes..but after months & months of trying. I'm here to report that i had auto-loot enabled & had zero problem.

Apparently, now, when you fish him up (with auto loot) you automatically get the achievement. Which means if you DONT have auto-loot enabled, when you looted him (obviously) you will get the acheivement. However! You still have to right click to learn him; just as with any other pet =)

i was in Cantrips & Crows when i got him.

A small tip i heard & would like to pass on (im NOT sure if theres ANY merit to this whatsoever, but i when i did this, i fished him up with my 1st time trying this trick :)

i've HEARD that if you target the "Giant Sewer Rat" that hangs out in the Arena area & then go fish in the underbelly of course (be sure you keep him as your target while fishing for him!) that it supposedly increases your chances! Hope this can help someone!

Good luck to everyone trying for this little guy! =)

Can be achieved if the Rato Gigante de Esgoto is found in the new Algibeira dos Mistérios Exóticos (Satchel of Exotic Mysteries). You can find it on one char, mail the bag to another char and the char that actually loots it from the satchel will get the achievement.
NOTE: You must have auto-loot turned off (permanently from Interface OR temporary by pressing SHIFT by default) to take a look in the bag without looting the pet.

I got it after about 1.900 casts, average of 200 per hour: 4,5 hours the first day and nothing, same the second day, the third day like 30 mins and I got it.

I almost always fished in cantrips & crows, at the end of the dock, and anyway I was there when I got it.

If statistics (0,2% drop rate) are correct, you can get it in 500 attempts if you have a normal luck; if you are unlucky you can go up to 2-3 times that, in my case almost 4.

To whoever is still looking for it, the only thing I can say is: "never give up", 500 attempts are the minimum if you're not particularly lucky.

Reading the previous comments while visiting Dalaran for the first time (level 60) I thought "what the heck" and did some fishing while waiting for my husband to log in. Fishing at level 375, jewelled pole (+30), so I bought the fish attractor from the vendor there (+100).
Had snorted at the idea that fishing into the green circle around the rat would make any difference...but did it anyway ;)
About 10 minutes later I got the pet and the achievement! Sounds like voodoo...but it worked for me.

I am at Cantrips & Crows and have cast about 20 times and have caught nothing.

Is that unusual? I have Fishing Skill 450. I'm using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. I have extra mods of +35.

So why aren't I catching ANYTHING?

Comentado por 988973

Took about 35 minutes of fishing today to finally get this sucker for the first time ever (through casual fishing of course!).
Stood on the dock next to Angelo and Sebastian outside Cantrips & Crows and fished the rat up after a total of :

7 crystal vials
8 partially eaten fish
50 sewer carp
3 drowned rats

I started at 484 fishing with the jeweled fishing pole (+30 skill)
glow worm lure attachment (+100 skill),
and drank Captain Rumsey's Lager (+10 skill)

if any of that matters. Happy fishing to anyone trying! :)

after a few different times of trying and failing, I got my giant sewer rat tonight ! It took me all of 10 casts to catch him. My fishing is maxed and I use the Kala'uk fishing pole without any lures. Now if I could just get that elusive little sea turtle I will be a happy girl ! posted a screen shot as well =) I hope you all get your giant rat soon !

Just got mine today. I fished yesterday about 300 casts and no rat. Today i was waiting for random bg and after 70 casts i got it.

Jeweled fishing pole + hood + 75 lure = 630 fishing skill approximately.

Strangely enough, a friend of mine started fishing after me and got it too after about 50 casts.

Maybe Blizzard changed the drop rate ?

Figured I'd share little story for your amusement-
So my work got cancelled for the rest of the night and I'm home thinking "Oh boy, 6 hours straight of WoW, I should grind something out- I know, the Dalaran sewer rat!" So I head to the sewers, plop down on my duff, and start casting.
30 minutes into it, along comes a human warrior chick and starts casting right next to me(i'm horde). Rude, but whatevs, I'll just point my casts away from where she's casting.
10 minutes later, she gets it. Are you f-ing kidding me? I wanted to kick her right in her stupid lucky face, but instead I '/clap' her, she thanks me and leaves, and I'm back on my duff...casting.
Another hour passes and all I can think about is just how I got robbed a sewer rat. 2 hours into my endevour, 180ish trash and fish in my bag, no rat...I'm done.
Maybe some other time.

For me, this was a creature of TIME CONSUMING DOOM. Spent ~ 8.5/9 hours straight fishing him up. I began to despair about halfway through and for a time went casting all about the Underbelly, becoming more angsty and paranoid about drop rates with each cast.

This is NOT recommended, to say the least

Sitting in one spot and hoping Lady Luck is with you seems to be your best bet. I turned my sound effects up, put on a book on tape, procured many a good snack throughout, and cast until I found this rat. I had horrid luck, unfortunately.

But for all you still fishing...stick it out! he's there somewhere. Good luck!

I've been farming this one for years on different characters and different servers.

I finally got it today after my boyfriend fished it out of the Dalaran fountain whilst he was trying to get O Mestre das Moedas (he's only got Moeda de Ouro da Lady Katrana Prestor to go) and I thought I would go and fish in the sewers while I waited for him to finish.

Took me about 30 mins outside of Catnips and Crows and I caught the following:

32 Carpa de Esgoto
14 Lampreia Mágica
5 Ampola de Cristal
4 Peixe Meio Comido
1 Rato Afogado
1 Rato Gigante de Esgoto

I still find it a little funny that I got the rat before he got his coin...

Drop rate shown on wowhead is ~0.3%.
So.. doing the math, overall chance of one within the next:

2mins (5 casts): 1.5% (Hell Lucky)
6mins (20 casts): 6% (Damn Lucky)
15mins (50 casts): 14% (Lucky)
30mins (100 casts): 26% (Somewhat Lucky)
1h (200 casts): 45% (Pretty Typical)
2h (400 casts): 70% (Slightly Unlucky)
5h (1000 casts): 95% (A lot unlucky)
10h (2000 casts): 99.7% (You should get checked)
15h (3000 casts): 99.9998% (Guess you're cursed)

According to wowhead, the chance of getting this item is about 1 in 3000. You can make about 30 attempts in 9 minutes, so expect to spend 900 minutes or15 hours trying to catch this rat. Off course you can be lucky. But you can also be unlucky.

It just took 73 cast with 705 Fishing Skill and the Raft. What a day. Earlier today i catched the 15 Pound Mud Snapper in under 180 casts. Looks like this "Catching-Rare-Rare-Fish" Achievements work better on 600+ Skill Level or the raft provides a unique spot to catch rare fish.

PS: Some days ago I did the Lurker Achievement in 2 casts. (705 Fishing)

When fishing in the Underbelly in Dalaran, you have a chance to catch Rato Gigante de Esgoto, which awards the achivement Mestre Splinter?.

Note that the items you fish up, with the exception of Ampola de Cristal, only stack to 20. However, if you fish from the pier at Cantrips and Crows, there's a fishing supplier, Angelo Pescatore, which enables you to conveniently vendor the trash if you don't have a lot of bag space.

397 No Carpa de Esgoto
177 No Lampreia Mágica
82 No Ampola de Cristal

I've just caught the Giant Sewer rat, specifically in Cantrips & Crows.

I first started fishing in the Black Market, and after reading on here that other people had caught theirs in C&C and Circle of Wills respectively, I thought I'd try here.

In the Black Market: 213 casts
Sewer Carp: 127 (59%)
Magic Eater: 52 (24%)
Crystal Vial: 17 (7%)
Partially Eaten Fish: 9 (4%)
Drowned Rat: 8 (3%)

Cantrips & Crows (end of the dock): 99 casts
Sewer Carp: 59 (59%)
Magic Eater: 24 (24%)
Partially Eaten Fish: 6 (6%)
Crystal Vial: 6 (6%)
Drowned Rat: 3 (3%)
Giant Sewer Rat: 1 (1%)

I usually do about 50-100 casts at a time in a specific area when farming, caught on 99/100 in the one go at C&C. I'm not saying it's a definite, because it's been confirmed you can catch the rat from either of these three areas in the Underbelly, but it's worth mixing it up every now and then.

Now onto Old Crafty and Old Ironjaw GL

Some people in Blizzard Dev team have serious issues, imho they're a bunch of sadist spoiled nerds who love to waste people's time, after farming this god damn rat for days, it dropping doesn't make me feel better at all.
They could just implement a code which increases drop rate as the player farms it, (ex: give the player a temporary internal buff which increases chance for rare items to drop for 0.01 or so). But no! They HAVE to torture you, mess with your dopamine circuits :D... Losing love for this game everyday...

I started with Northrend Fishing at level 0 and ended at level 75.

Got this achieve in Northrend Dalaran Underbelly today - set a timer and fished constantly for an hour and 14 minutes. Unless I'm lucky, the battle pet Giant Sewer Rat is Rare by default. He's a chungus and I love him.

Finally after 2372 casts at The Cantrips and Crows Tavern, I got the beastie who consumed a great deal of my time!

Today I finally got “lucky” – anglin’ in various places, so I guess it’s just random luck, anywhere in Os Esgotos (Old Dalaran).

Took about 4h and ~1000 casts; it was the 2nd or 3dt sitting around that many tries. Be patient, do something in parallel, try another day!

Got around 5g from sellloot, which is a blazing 2s per minute. Catches in particular:

Can’t say I like Carpa de Esgoto anymore, which accounts for approx. 45.7% of all catches, around double that of Lampreia Mágica (22.3%) and Algas (21.6%).
Peixe Doente, Madeira Flutuante, Peixe Meio Comido, Tecido Esfarrapado, Rato Afogado, Linha de Pesca Emaranhada appear on ca. 3.6–5% of casts.
Caracol d'Água, Bota Velha, Rocha are very rare! (around 1‰)
Also got 82× Ampola de Cristal, which would cost 13s12c at the vendor.
Got a Boia Gigante Reutilizável toy early on from Flutuadorzado.
And of course my favorite, Rato Gigante de Esgoto.

As for 2024 i can confirm that we can still fish that "Giant Rat".
It took me 3,109 casts and 24 hours spread into 4 days at Cantrips & Crows.

Best advice i can say is get "Oversized Bobber" and put a good show on the side and it will go fast.

Good luck to those who try

As of 10.2.5, you still get the achievement if you get it from the Black Market Auction House, not the regular Auction House.

After several years of attempting, I decided I was getting this achievement no matter what.

So, I sat down on the docks at Cantrips & Crows and started casting. It took several sessions of 500+ casts over the next 24 hours, but 1,965 casts later, I had my achievement.

The following was my haul for those casts:
1,000 Sewer Carp
446 Magic Eater
180 Crystal Vial
98 Drowned Rat
79 Partially Eaten Fish
42 Tangled Fishing Line
32 Tattered Cloth
31 Sickly Fish
31 Weeds
23 Driftwood
1 Water Snail
1 Old Boot
1 Giant Sewer Rat

Important to note that this pet can be purchased from the AH, but it doesn't count towards the achievement. You have to actually fish it up in order to get the achievement. I fished it up after about 2 hours 15 mins with around 500ish casts. Good luck.
