Achievements

So I've been working on the pre-WotLK achievements such as gathering keys and exploring and whatnot. Are there any tricky achievements that anyone has come across?

There are two to do the daily bombing runs for Skyguard in under 2:15. Those suck. Other then that it's mostly a matter of getting people together for the old raid stuffs.

I caught old ironjaw in Ironforge.... it took 1400+ casts of fishing... and then there was also the alliance issue. It took most of a weekend. I have issues, but I also has fish!

Well worth 10 points...

I'll be working on that one and the one in Org.

I caught 3 old crafties (the org fish) within about 20 casts yesterday. It was messed up.

I fish with with 2 chars, both have caught "Old Crafty" now just doing a single cast for the "Croc in the City" fishing quest. Either very lucky or they increased the drop rate. On the other hand, 750 casts trying for a 15 pound Mud Fish and no luck yet. Think that and the fishing tourny will be the tough 2 to complete.

Another note, if you have not done the fishing diplomat yet, you can run/swim up the coast from westfall, and using a waterwalking pot you can get your stormwind fish just as it says you've entered Stormwind on your map. No level 75 guards or players to deal with, was quite easy.

The 15 pound mudfish is a 1 in 2000 catch. Old crafty is (was) a 1 in 500 catch.

The tourny isn't too hard. I won on my thrid try. My advice. Start far north by the ZG island head south then back north if you get to grom grol. Usually no one is up there. If someone is fishing in a node do not stop and try to fish in it. If someone starts fishing in your node go to a new one. Set your hearth in booty bay.
