I Smell A Giant Rat
Be prepared to spend a long time fishing in Dalaran's Underbelly for the Giant Sewer Rat pet!

Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box
Another difficult grind, as Mr. Pinchy can only be fished in the highland pools of Terokkar Forest and each use only has a chance to reward you with the pet!

Old Crafty and Old Ironjaw
Old Crafty can be fished in Orgrimmar, and Old Ironjaw can be fished in Ironforge. Both are extremely rare.

One That Didn't Get Away
Speaking of extremely rare, this achievement is granted for managing to catch any one of the listed extremely rare (and extremely useless) fish.

The Coin Master
Probably one of the easiest listed grinds, this achievement is comprised of three meta achievements: A Penny For Your Thoughts, Silver In The City and There's Gold In That There Fountain. Fish in the fountain located in the Eventide of Dalaran until you've looted every coin at least once and you will be rewarded with the Titanium Seal of Dalaran!

1000 Fish
This achievement has five meta achievements below it, rewarding players for catching 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and finally 1000 Fish!

Can't wait for second post!Comment by 244782This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by muttsIf you are alliance and you want the Old Crafty achievement, here is a tip:

When you are on the Wrathgate quest-chain you are being send on a diplomatic mission to Orgrimmar and the NPC's won't attack you!

While I was doing that quest I made sure to complete the following achievements:

-Old Crafty (took a couple of hours)
-Fishing Diplomat (takes one catch in Orgrimmar)
-Ragefire Chasm (can be done in less than 5 minutes when you are above level 70)Comment by 69913This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 33054This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 130628If you are alliance and you want the Old Crafty achievement, here is a tip:
