Rare catch from open water in Dalaran's Underbelly (sewers). May take hundreds of catches to find. El's Anglin' information.

I hope it will teach Speedy martial arts.

The rat is roughly the same size as a gnome.

Commento di 162546

give the rat some of these. But bring 24 friends with you before doing so.

and another reason to lvl fishing :-D

*cracks knuckles* I know where I'll be spending the time I'm not fishing in Dalaran's fountain...

Commento di wevans

says small model as the Rat Cage. So is it bigger then the rat I already have?

Commento di 184853

At LEAST 1000 catches from the Dalaran Sewers, and I've yet to catch this one. Its very rare indeed.

edit: finally caught him at 12:20am, 10/11/08. Probably after about 1500 casts in total. Good luck!

Commento di Gnowo

This is basicly the new Mr. pinchy

Only difference is that you don't need a specific pool of fish to catch it from.

Caught this guy around 7AM Server time on 11/17. It was fairly quick and unexpected. Took him to the pet shop and gave him a quick cleaning.

I caught the Giant Sewer Rat last night. It took a little over four hours, I burned through 20 sharpened fish hooks and caught over 800 fish/items. I was also able to complete the fishing achievement Cath 1000 Fish.

Commento di thecomicpimp

don't forget it's BOP. I just caught him and have auto loot on. Had already cast the next line out before i realized what i was doing and didn't get to loot him

no longer prompts you, and will auto loot

Yeah, I know this is no longer the case. Now thankfully autoloots

Commento di 253252

This takes more luck than skill. I was just fishing in the sewers and caught him on my 6th fish after 4 fish got away. My fishing skill is at 379, I was using a +20 fishing pole, and I put a +100 hook on the pole. I also caught him from the dock in the Cantrips and Crows section of the sewers.

If your fishing skill isn't maxed don't let that stop you from trying. Happy fishing!

Commento di 244579

Have been fishing after this one for 3 days now, and still nothing. Maxed out my fishingskill and fished over 1100 fish. Probably just my bad luck as allways. Gonna update when i get it (if i do!).

Update: Finally got it now, 2029 catch's later. I just have one thing to say; Never give up!

Commento di g1ts

Just caught mine.

Started: fishing 393 + 20 rod + 100 lure
Ended: fishing 450 + 20 rod + 75 lure

16 hours fishing, 2587 catches later - 1 Giant Sewer Rat

Fished by the bank area and the shark area, eventually caught him in the shark area.

(as stated above BOP so careful on the quick recast, always check your catch (pop up confirmation box on rat catch) before recasting)

Good luck and keep at it, it does arrive!

Commento di opiuman

Still working on this one on the SE part of Cantrips past the Fishing Vendor. Since a lot of people got it recently I hope I'll get mine soon. Over 2000 casts now.

Commento di 152448

I got this while doing the coin achievement, so you don't have to fish in the underbelly, you can also fish from the fountain.

Commento di 254463

Caught this today. It's large for a rat, but not overly large for a non-combat pet or anything. I'd say it's a little smaller than the 4th anniversary baby blizzard bear, since everyone and their mother got one of those a couple days ago in the mail and can relate.
I was talking to a guy who was expecting it to be a very large pet and that was the only reason he was fishing for it. Figured it merited a mention due to that. Still pretty darn nice tho as far as I'm concerned :)

I only went through 3 lures before I caught him by Cantrips at the end of the dock there where people commonly fish. Reading here and talking to some guys while fishing, I realize I was very lucky. As being lucky is very odd for me, I'll take it!

I was getting quite a few get-aways as my skill wasn't anything to brag about. When I finally caught him my skill was only 369, so with pole and lure total my total skill was sitting at 489 when I snagged him.

Good luck!

Commento di Faileas

If your bobber lands on the outer edge of the fountain, then you will be getting the sewer open water loot table and not the fountain loot table. I think you were just very lucky about getting the Rat when you just happened to cast on the edge of the Fountain's water zone.

Took me around 1000 casts to get this rat and got me to 350 exclusively fishing in the sewers before I got it. However, a friend went fishing for 20 minutes and caught one. That's the RNG for ya.

Caught mine last night. 224 fish + other stuff caught in all, skill went from 375 to 403 in the process.

Commento di 201180

Fished for 45 minutes by Cantrips & Crows and had to log out. I logged in a few hours later and caught it on the first cast. I sat there in shock for about 30 seconds not believing my luck.
After I sat in a catatonic state staring at the screen for those 30 seconds, I realized I hadn't looted it yet and clicked before I got DC'd or some other horrible thing LOL

Commento di 252340

Approx. 1200 casts, around 10hrs in total. Did 8hrs in one sitting- was very depressing.

Just this morning after a server restart, I got my little buddy in 6 casts!

Keep at it! :)

I got two in the time it took me to level fishing from 378 - 404. The first didn't loot because I was shift-clicking the bobber then hitting a hotkey to fish again and the cast closed the BOP confirm dialog box.

Does anyone know if you are able to catch the rat in the shallow water next to the room where Cantrips is (Where the arena vendor and whatnot are)?

I just got mine after exactly 787 casts. At one point I was getting really bored and decided to have some fun so I took off all my gear except my fishing hat, boots, and cloak and got the sewer rat within 5 casts of doing so.

Coincidence?

Ha ha hell yeah it was, but it was pretty funny. Good luck everyone.

Commento di 278472

After about 800-1000 times fishing off the docks for this thing, I caught it and immediately cast my line again like I had been doing by habit over and over. Of course I want to pick it up! Ask me if I want to pick up a drowned freakin rat, now THAT i would say no to. I guess Ill be one of the first to catch it twice /sigh

Commento di 260859

I like fishing next to Darahir. Every now and then, he will sell mana pots so you can check it every time you put on a new lure.

Commento di Ronniemex

Know what's funny when your farming for this guy? Watching some nub run up near you and throw out one cast... then seeing his achievement proc for catching the rat. Very discouraging!

Partially Eaten Fish...(106).........4.76%
Sewer Carp...............(1208)......54.22%
Total.........................(2228).........100%

I did my fishing by the Inn in the Dalaran Underbelly (Cantrips & Crows), a Fishing Supplies Vender which sell bobber's is right by the end of the dock which makes for a short trip to restock and sell off fish/crap.
I was using my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole with a Spun Truesilver Fishing Line and a Bright Baubles sadly I ran out of my better hooks long before I got the rat.
450 fishing + 30 + 3 + 75 = 558 fishing ( need atleast 525 fishing to avoid " Fish got away").

Alright, so i got mine in 4 trys by casting at the waterfall like thing to the far right of the dock by the inn. it said target not in sight a few times but, if you keep going itll cast right at the edge

Commento di lmh86

Fishing for the rat provides a great occasion to use Underbelly Elixir; a 1/3 chance to get the Hungry Tuskarr buff, giving a +50 fishing boost, which might just push you over the 525 mark if you're fishing for this early.

Commento di 220544

I fished here and there but never put in alot of effort until today, I started fishing in the Black market and after 10 casts snagged one, but I had auto-loot on and was a dummy and recast. 5 mins later I decided to keep trying, but this time I went to Cantrips and Crows and after 40 casts snagged another one. Maybe I'm just really lucky for once, or this has a pretty good drop chance.

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 = 54.9%
Magic Eater = 23.1%
Empty Vial = 7.1%
Drowned Rat = 7.1%
Partially Eaten Fish = 4.9%
Leaded Vial = 1.6%
Crystal Vial = 1.1%

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

When you have the pet out, the rat will make very soft squeaking noises while running or swimming (listen carefully, I only noticed this after some days myself haha)

Commento di Zukiji

Actually managed to drop! Didn't give up hope, and after only 1366 casts, I caught the furry little bugger :P

Commento di 254300

3400 fish and crap caught, but it was worth it! ^^ Just keep fishing!

Commento di Unlocky

From what I can read on these pages and by talking to ppl on my server, the rat has been confirmed caught in 4 particular places:
- The edges of the Dalaran Fountain
- Cantrips & Crows Inn
- The Black Market
- shallow waters at Arena Battlemasters
~~I have yet to get confirmed that Giant Sewer Rat can be caught in area with the Arena Battlemasters~~. There is no obvious reason that It can't be caught in this place, but imo go the safe places if you want to fish for it.

Took me 2 days of fishing in the Sewers.
First day I was in the Cantrips & Crows area at the fishing supply npc on the dock. Fished there for ~2 hours straight, no catch.
The day after I fished at the exact same spot for ~2 hours straight again, when I finally decided to try my luck at The Black Market. ~30 casts and I got the little shy bugger.
This does not prove anything rather than its luck and RNG based like many things in WoW.
Took me around 4½ hour.

On a sidenote: I just love to show up in the above mentioned areas and throw my fishingline 1-3 times and link the rat in /s and say something like: "Lol, didnt even know I could catch one" and then wait for all the whispers: "Wtf dude!"
Happy times.

Edit: It has been confirmed that Giant Sewer Rat can be caught in the waters at the Arena Battlemasters. And believe me, when people have been fishing and starred at their screen non-stop for 2 hours and you post the rat, they generally miss the archievement from others :o)

Commento di 259532

A guild mate caught this in three catches while fishing off the dock at Cantrips and Crows. I figured I'd go for it too. I fished in the same place. 1300 casts later, it was mine.

So be patient and it'll be yours. :)

Commento di 286836

I actually got it TWICE. Just a warning for those that mindless click with auto-loot in fishing buddy. I had it pop up that this item would bind to me and got too excited and double right clicked and recast my line. This automatically cleared the loot option and I was unable to pick it up. Sent a note to GM and they said they couldn't recover this item. So I went back to try to fish for it again and got it back in about 15 mins.

Commento di 161867

with 354 fishing

Hilariously enough, while i was fishing for my Titanium Seal of Dalaran a stray cast caught me one of these out of the wishing well!
I usually am pretty lucky with drops and stuff but never thought i would get THAT lucky...lol, probably after about 8 stray casts while i was fishing at the well got me one of these, Good luck to everyone else!

Luck was pretty good for me I guess. I decided to start trying for this after someone linked it in Trade Chat when they got it on Dalaran. Fishing at the bottom of the ramp that goes down to the water to the left of Rin Duoctane in Cantrips & Crows (33.5, 46.6). I started out with 422 base skill (545 modified) and cast for about an hour on Friday and then a couple hours or so on Saturday after work. End result? 449 Base (572 modified) and...

Commento di Darkmeat

i caught him my first cast with a fishing lvl of 470 lol i own

Commento di smiley001

I can call myself lucky I guess, just got mine :)

I used this combination:
+5 Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
+20 Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole
+100 Sharpened Fish Hook
+50 Underbelly Elixir
+10 Captain Rumsey's Lager

My "tactic" for these type of achievements is basically never to spend more then 10 minutes on them at a time.... I feel that for example trying to catch this rat, its not such a big deal if you dont catch it when you planned to fish for 10 minutes.

But when fishing for 2 hours straight... that just makes it that much harder to stop at all, since you've spent so much time on it already. If you stop at that point, it feels like all time spent till that point has been a waste ^^ I started taking some achievements more lightly ever since I (as an alliance character) caught Old Crafty.... but was then struck by the apparently known issue "You cannot loot that right now."

Commento di 292786

I might have just been lucky, but I got the rat after only ~870 casts while fishing on the dock next to Cantrips & Crows. I had fished for hours the day before to no avail, but got him within about 45 minutes after a server restart.

Fishing skill at 630 using:

Base Skill 450
Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole
Sharpened Fish Hook
Underbelly Elixir

The Underbelly Elixir gives a random buff which may change you into a Hungry Tuskarr with +50 to fishing skill.

This is what i got while fishing for him:

Commento di 312299

Around 3 hours. I did think it would take longer and was very happy it didn't.
Max fishing with a hat lure. Off the dock facing the sewer entrance, killing the little rat every time it went by. I'm superstitious by nature so once one thing is done I have to go with it heh

Commento di 196066

This pet is awesome. It has a great idle animation, where he stands up and looks around, at which point is is just a few hairs shorter than a gnome. Hes overall one of the biggest pets out there, both length and height wise. Only thing bad about him is that he lacks a swiming animation, which is strange considering even the Smolderweb Hatchling and Stinker have one.

Commento di 248978

Hahaah!

Finally got him after about 10 hours in total of fishing in at Cantrips & Crows! Hearing people getting him in approx. 2-3 hours, I thought I'd give it a shot last night, ended up doing an 8 hour fishing marathon since I'm crazy like that. :p
Late in the evening, still no catch on the rat, some random troll mage came by and started fishing alongside me and 5-10 mins into his fishing he got it. That just disheartened me enough, so I went to bed.

Today afternoon, approx. 2 hours into fishing it, same results without the rat... and I finally got the bugger and my oh my was it worth it. My guild kept cheering me throughout the night and this afternoon to just keep fishing for it.

Happy rat owner! :D

Commento di zetapoo

A short story about this rat and my proof that the probability gods love me:
About 3 months ago I caught one in the sewers in under 5 casts, I was so extraordinarily lucky and everyone hated me for it.

Recently, a guildie of mine has been trying to get it and has spent many hours down there trying to fish it up. Often times when he would say things about the low chances of catching it are my typical response was to go down into the sewers with my sewer rat out and /dance or something. Today when I went down there I noticed he was fishing in such a direction that his bobber was going through the dock, I said "what the hell that looks cool" and decided to toss out a lure for myself to see if I could also fish through the docks. Below is a screenshot of what I got on my first cast.

http://www.teambattle.org/images/lolrat.jpg

Thats two Giant Sewer rats in about 5 casts. \o/

Commento di Berret

107 casts and nabbed the bugger :)

Commento di Danaan

Well finally I got it after 2500 catches approx. and 3 days of pure fishing.

Well THIS one was my hardest one to catch. Let's sum it up:
-Magical Crawdad (107 catches and then at the first wish)
-Dark Herring (22 catches)
-Old Ironjaw (after 300 catches, none and counting)
-Old Crafty (221 catches, none and counting)

Well after that I decided to farm a Disgusting Oozeling. Got it after 700 kills and 39 bags.

Now on my list:
-Dark Whelpling
-Tiny Crimson Whelpling
-Tiny Emerald Whelpling
-Captured Firefly

Hard stuff, but doable.

Keep on hunting and never give up! It will show when you are least expecting it!

This pet took me 4430 casts. Which took about 20 hours, GL people this one is hard to grind unless you get lucky!

Commento di CthulhuDragon

277 Casts for me. I thought this would turn out to be like Old Crafty which took me over 1500 casts. But just shy of 300 isn't too bad.

And unlike fishing for coins in the fountain I didn't have anyone sit on a warmammoth in the water so I couldn't see my bobber.

Commento di YoufeelDrunk

This Rat can be fished in the Stewers and you need 430 Fishing skill for start fish there and 525 for don't fail.

his chance to drop is around 0.2%

Giant Sewer Rat 1 0.2% -----> Info from El's Extreme Anglin'

well i've fished the rat after 6 cast.. is pretty easy to find.. :) if you are not lucky you just need patience.

Commento di 256123

I feel sorry for those people who have been fishing for this thing for days, meanwhile I get it within 10 minutes. I joined up in a raid with some guildies and noticed one fishing in the sewers. I didn't have very high fishing but I figured with the Hungry Tuskarr buff I could fish there. I managed to fish with a base skill of 336 and a bonus of 163 with lures, the buff, etc. meaning I had a total of 499 skill. Now the fishing guildie had been fishing for a week with no luck... and I get it within 10 min and 3 Magic Eaters, 4 Sewer Carp, 1 Empty Vial, and 1 Partially Eaten Fish. Man was he angry... Good luck to all those still farming this pet, and just so you know I was fishing off the end of the dock near the inn.

Commento di 142565

I fished one up after approximately 20 casts, right at the end of the dock near the "Cantrips & Crows". I'd call it luck, except I just spent approximately 3,000 casts getting Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider's Gold Coin for The Coin Master, so instead I'll just say that justice has been done. :)

Just be persistent, everybody. Sooner or later it'll come your way.

Commento di Aisenfaire

That addon also ignores bop warnings when grouped, making it dangerous if you forget to turn it off before going on a run.

A better addon that only ignores bop warnings when solo is http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11404-cAutoConfirmLoot.html#info

Commento di aleols

Started fishing 1/75 after 3.1 hit and got this with a fishing skill of 217 with a total of 480 caught fish (all fished in the sewers). Just to point out you don't need that high skill to actually fish it up. In a raid at the time I got it.

Commento di Ramokk

Got mine today. Fished in the sewers for an hour yesterday, didn't get it. Today the daily fishing quest was for the sewers, and up pops the rat after about 10 casts. I'm never this lucky. Believe it or not, three casts later I pulled up another one! (Second one is useless since their BOP). As karma for that, I'm sure I'll lose my next 20 loot rolls :-)

Commento di 263517

Got it today on same cast as I got my daily quest item.
Shame I already had it :(
But when I turned it in my luck continued with getting the new fishing pole reward :D

Commento di MikadoGG

I do not have new 3.1 data for this pet but it is possible they have increased the drop rate somewhat in the last patch. 4 of my guildies got it within an hour or so the day after the patch hit. RNG is random but they may have changed the drop rate.

Commento di exorr

I've been trying for this for awhile as well and got it today on the same cast as the corroded jewelry. It seems I'm not the only one. This may be a similiar "bug" as Crocs in the City and Old Crafty was for a long time (which is now fixed). I highly recommend if you don't have the rat you get the daily and fish for it using the same strategy you'd use for Old Crafty. Do not loot the Jewelry until you've gotten the rat.

Although, they are rebooting the server now so I'm wondering if they see this and are fixing it.

Commento di 354776

dun suppose any1 can confirm whether or not theyve fixed the bug? i tried for a little while they finally gave the right daily but 100 or so casts no rat :( destroyed the quest item like 6-7 times. i do usually have terrible luck with these sorts of things so if any1 has gotten it in last day or so while doing the dialy id appreciate the post :)

i fished this up after 2 casts one night while doing the fishing daily....lucky me i guess

Commento di 298303

To all you suckers who caught this after 100 casts,

I'm on 4880 things caught (of which probably 4500 is trying to get the rat), so far I've seen 4 people around me get it and I still haven't! HAHA BEAT THAT!

BTW anyone remember what skill you need to start fishing in the sewer?

Commento di xris

By Matsumi

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

Further up the page. =D

Commento di Incinerator

Caught this tonight, with only 292 fishing skill and a +100 lure and +20 fishing pole. Took me only about 12 casts to get it, so obviously does not require the 420+ to avoid get aways

Commento di 150562

Spent 2 hours last night fishing for this King of Rats in the sewers, off the end of the dock by the Cantrips with no luck and maxxed fishing skill.
Spent another hour tonight with no luck while reading the ridiculous trade chat. Just as I was about to call it a night, I fished it up and was so surprised.

I'm really surprised how quickly this took me to fish up, considering I spent a week farming the EPL for the Disgusting Oozeling with NO luck at all.

Commento di 363618

Fishing at the end of the dock past the inn is where i caught mine. Took me exactly 168 casts and on the 169th i caught the rat. It is auto-looted with no BoP box.

Commento di Idwa

It took me 1885 casts to catch mine, I fished in the Cantrips & Crows area FYI.

Commento di 365464

Dunno about drop rates vs items fished but my fishing skill is 450 plus all the lil extras for +fishing total time fished for this fat rat was maybe 4 to 6hrs over the last week or so but a horde DK came close to where i was fishing and caught 1 his skill was 247 I was heartbroken : ( Thinking id never get 1 but just 45 minutes later my son was getting rdy for school and offered to cast a few times and giving him all the credit here HE caught the rat on my toon ) i used a potion of waterwalking and was under the docks in cantrips, I hope this gives others hope for catching their Rat )

Commento di 367329

After about 800 casts I finally caught this! I fished this from the Underbelly in the Blackmarket area heading toward the end of the sewer to the right. Be careful standing on the planks on the left of the room where there are multiple merchants, the shark below does jump up and attack you from time to time (could cause you to lose your cast).

I started fishing this at a lvl 311, I was a lvl 391 when I finally obtained the pet. It is also true that you can have your settings on Auto Loot - it will pick up properly.

I found that fishing with the bright baubles did help to pull up other rare items from the water, so it may help in bringing up the rat - especially if you are lower level on your fishing. The higher my level got, the more of the crystal vials and drowned rats I received which according to what I've read is an indicator you're in a good area to get the pet to drop.

Commento di 368164

I caught this little cutie at 322 fishing with nothing more than a white fishing pole and bright baubles!

All I did was grab the fishing skill and started leveling it up in the sewers.

You really don't need all the extras.

Commento di siewen

Well obviously im doing something wrong. I have caught both ironjaw and crafty which both took about 6-7 hours each. This rat however, I have been trying to get for about 3 days now for a total of 10 hours or so. My question is, waht if someone caught him recently? would that matter? would he reset or am i just like totally unlucky?

There is NOT a level requirement for catching this pet. As long as you have fishing skill 1 and are fishing in the sewers of Dalaran (or other little exploit spots mentioned in other comments), you have a chance to catch this little bugger.

I have been fishing for this thing for nearly 2 months now, and I am approaching just about 3000 casts. It's nice to know that there's a bunch of people who've obtained this damn thing, but many of us rat lovers are strugglin'. QQ

well this might be my luck but i was doing the daily today and on the third cast caught one after doing a small happy dance another 2 casts and i get another one with a 384 skill +140 with my pole and buffs but didnt get the jewel but did i just get insanely lucky or did the drop rate go down on it

..After a long journey i ended at the Dalaran Fountain for some fun & relax..
did some casts - got 2 coins..when it hit me to go at the sewers. I knew that it needs a high efficient fishing skill & i was only at 337 but i was feeling confident with my why Weather Beaten Fishing Hat & the Kalu'ak gift.

So, went downstairs.., picked my spot by the "fire" and started..
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - *FLASH* Oo

Just got this on my fifth cast with the corroded jewelry quest! I had never tried getting it before and whoop, there it was! got the jewelry on my 11th cast I think. I told people on trade and they all replied with "$%^." : (

today has been a great day for me with fishing!

on today's daily quest in northerend-- the bag gave me
that pole just looks nice but i have the pole from kulu'ak so it doesn't really matter besides that it has wings on the pole.

fished up from the highland mixed schools, however i didn't get magical crawdad box on that charge... will see if the other ones will give me the pet..

and just a few minutes ago i fished up the giant sewer rat... right when i was about to go to bed. and i gasped! there it was the rat! i fished there before with no luck but today was different! i think it was about 50 to 70 casts.

Good luck everyone!

btw. im a pet collector. soo i was super excited!

Commento di 422158

got it today... 356 fishing and it auto-looted perfect!

Commento di 422268

Amazingly I caught this at the Dalaran fountain with while leveling fishing. My skill level was 82 when I fished this guy up, made everyone else wonder how the hell I got it. So if you really want this guy and haven't done anything with Fishing it's not impossible!

edit: this makes me think it is a pure % chance drop and that the chance of fishing it up will not be increased by fishing skill or buffs.

Commento di 379363

Took me about 1000 casts or around five hours of fishing over the course of several days with the walrus people's fishing pole, a +100 glow worm, and on the day I fished up the rat I had the weather beaten fishing hat.

Commento di triggz

I advise against spending time strictly trying to fish this pet up, unless you REALLY want it right away. I went and got mine early right when it was available, failed to click 'ok' to the soulbind box and had to catch 2 of them (ugh). I have since caught 2 more while doing the fishing daily for corroded jewelry. >.< It seems pretty easy to get.

Commento di Palatrino

Lovely,

I finally have some luck with the RNG in this game. It drops after 100 throws or so.
And what happens? Tons of servers go down, including My server ofc.

The odds of getting this is quite small, but the odds of having a massive server downtime while getting it to drop is even smaller.

I took about 5 screen shots of it dropping, since I wanted to send it to my friend. For mocking him that I got it after such a short time.
Guess they wont work as proof either, not sure if I got it or not. Can only wait and ticket a GM or something.

Only thing I can do meanwhile is laugh. : ) God really hates me...

PS. I stood in the Black Market fishing.

EDIT. Server(s) were back up, so I logged in again. And I had the achievement and the pet, feels quite good.
Good luck to the rest of you! I'm going to Mr. Pinchy next time...

Commento di 45715

Something that annoys me.. I was farming for this pet, and passed the 30 minutes mark, and this level 73 or so comes down, starts ranting why he doesn't get Corroded Jewelry, and he keeps linking every piece of trash he gets. Then after about 25 throws, he gets the Corroded Jewelry AND the rat in one single catch -.-" talk about horrible luck, eh?

Commento di decker12

It is possible to catch this Sewer Rat from the fountain. While fishing for coins, a player next to me pulled the rat up (and I saw the achievement pop-up):

Putting in my 2 cents here. I've found that after Patch 3.2 they removed the BoP Window pop up when looting the rat. I just got mine 10 mins ago, no window came up as well as having auto loot. Instantly went into my bags.

I'm finally thinking my bad luck is turning around....or maybe I'm just very persistant?

Commento di oliilo1

I got this today, while skilling my fishing at 404 skills ;)
I did use bright baubles though, so you could say it was 484 (+5 on fishing rod too)

Commento di 44203

As of patch 3.1 it is now possible to catch with less then 300 fishing. I would know since I just caught it with 266 fishing.

Commento di Smobu

Got it after about one hour :P

Commento di 282054

Took my about 1800 casts to get o.O
But finally, a tauren sized pet ^^

Commento di 452543

I decided that it was time to give in and actually take up fishing. I went from level 1 fishing up to 411 fishing skill, including achieving the "catch 1,000 fish" before I got this little guy. Quite honestly, it would have been about 3-4 thousand casts and also using lures and buffs to boost fishing bonus skill until he finally showed up, and I least expected it by this point. When I was logged in, he was my sole purpose. I put in at least 10 hours over this weekend until I got him.

A bit excessive? Probably. I was so happy to see him appear that I don't regret a single moment of it. Now for the decision of whether I should try on my other toons.

Good luck to those who are trying. I got him off the end of the dock in Cantrips and Crows, near the inn and where the fishing supplies NP is.

From what I've seen, and experienced myself, I believe that catchrate of Giant Sewer Rat is somewhere between 0.1% and 0.5%, my guess being 0.2% (1 in 500).

Edit: And thanks for downrating me for saying something that hasn't been said anywhere, answering the question most people want to know answer to, when searching for this item. :)

Took me 16 minutes, fishing in Cantrips & Crows area.

Commento di 433385

I just fished this up a few minutes ago, much to my surprise since this was the first time I'd even attempted to get the little fella.

Here's the pertinent info.

Location: End of the docks @ Cantrips & Crows
Base Skill at time of catch: 324
Relevant Items: Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole + Bright Baubles, giving me a total adjusted skill of 429.
Total length of time to snag him: 89 casts in around 30 minutes
Nickname: Splinter

Next test - Polymorph: Turtle a mob and see if my rat teaches it ninjutsu.

Commento di 456934

Im asking the wowhead gods for help after 5 hours of nonstop fishing.
Please gods help me and give this pet.

Commento di 442966

Took me 2 casts to catch this. I hunted around for underbelly elixir to get the kaluak fishing buff. Got the kaluak fishing pole. Drank some Rumsey lager, and used a sharpened fishing hook. My total fishing was 643.

Pretty lucky it was the second cast, I was prepared to sit there for hours to get it.

Commento di 464706

I have a pretty funny story on how i caught this "little" guy. Earlier in the day that i caught it, i had managed to get mr. pinchy's magical crawdad box on my first try. So i thought i was feeling lucky, so me and my guildies made a bet on who can catch the giant sewer rat first, and whoever won gets 300g from everyone participating. Within the first 20 minutes of fishing for it, not only did i catch him but i won 900g :D. I had Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole, 450 fishing, and a glow worm.

Commento di burns91

I leveled my fishing to 200 before I started fishing for the rat, doing the daily fishing quests in BE and WoLK. I've also been using Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole plus Sharpened Fish Hooks that I received from the dailies.

Went from 200 to 431 before I finally got the rat. I was starting to think it was never going to happen. I had been fishing off the dock at Cantrips & Crows, then tried The Black Market, but ended up getting it at Catrips & Crows. The rat is so worth it though - he's way bigger than I expected! =)

Commento di jlarss

I just got one on my first throw today, 203 skill. I guess I'm pretty lucky

Commento di 278567

advice:

is this an easy achievement?
Yes. its very easy, the only thing you need is alot of time. (and some fishing skill, and a pole of cause..)

how to do this the fastest way?
make sure no one will disturb you (use "/dnd fishing, leave me alone" for instance). get alot of coffee. turn on some music. try to relax. and keep telling youself that there is a small chance everytime you catch something, that its a rat =)

do you need any special equipment?
no :) i did this with strong fishing pole (+5 fishing) and +75 lures. and 450 fishing ofc.. which makes a total skill of 530.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and yes... i know some people caught this the first time they fished in the sewers... but dont think everyone is that lucky :P took me 2667 casts ^^

anyways, Good luck fishing :D

im off to get that damn turtle :]

Commento di SOADisnotforBATH

I know this is anecdotal evidence, but I just got my Giant Sewer Rat after about 20 minutes of fishing.

So there is hope that the grind wont be grueling! =p
I also got mine near the Cantrips and Crows

Good luck everybody! =)

Commento di 467895

Got this on the 605th cast.

Commento di 465424

I got this drop not so long ago. In total i made many many casts but without the tedious long stretches of fishing. If you want to obtain this pet and have the attention span of a puppy on Redbull, I would say just set your hearthstone to Cantrips & Crows Inn and fish out a 10 minute lure every time you hearth. xD Happy hunting.

Commento di 471080

Just caught this bad boy in Cantrips prepost. I am level 79 now and ive been fishing off the cantrip docks since 66. Also, I had 730 fishing when I finally got him, although everyone says level doesnt matter.

Commento di Maleren

I finally got the Giant Sewer Rat last night in Cantrips. I'd been fishing there for about 2 hours a day for the last couple of weeks and after about 20 casts last night, I finally caught it. It's worth the wait. It's a pretty cool looking pet. Good luck to all still trying to get it, don't give up.

Commento di jzerbini

Wow. You're lucky, Woth.

It took me like 1 night and 1 morning to catch mine. I started with around 365 fishing skill, ended with 413, fishing with my Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole.

After huge amounts of Magic Eater and Sewer Carps I finally got mine, 2 minutes ago.

Was fishing on the Circle of Wills, sitting next to Nixi Fireclaw.

Commento di Swifteye

Just got mine! I don't have a fishing addon to tell me exactly how many casts or how much other crap I caught, but I do know I bought a stack of Bright Baubles at the outset and was on the very tail end of the 19th one when I caught him (breaking this "grind" into several session, but making sure to be fishing the Underbelly and ONLY the Underbelly every second that my baubles were active). So 19 lures x 10 minutes = just a hair over three hours to catch the little bugger.

I fished off the end of the dock by C&C for about half the grind, and the area *under* the inn with all the beams for the other half (this underside is where I actually caught him).

This actually felt like the easiest fishing grind I've done, having also completed Old Ironjaw and The Coin Master. My advice would be to find a spot where no one else is fishing (so the only bobber splashes you hear are your own), pop in a movie on the TV and just fish by ear, only looking at the monitor to reposition mouse over the bobber. Yeah, really standard advice and I'm probably gonna be lambasted for being Captain Obvious, but this seriously made this achievement feel like no effort whatsoever to me.

Good luck, everyone! :)

Commento di 271356

I fished the Dalaran Underbelly for a total of 15ish hours for 2 consecutive weeks before i received this illusive little guy. nobody in my guild was online so next raid were gonna do I'm gonna pop him out and feed him some growth snacks and make make him bake me a pizza... or a pie.

Caught this on my FIRST cast ever in Underbelly. Started doing dailies today. Good luck I suppose.

Commento di 111373

All relevant information has already been said, but I just wanted to add that I got it with a fishing skill as low as 153. Oh, one thing I think wasn't mentioned is that when you get the rat, you only get the rat, it's not like those special fishes or the corroded jewelry that you get in addition to a regular fish (to whomever this might be useful).

Commento di applebear

Farmed this for a few days non stop in the sewers with nothing but bags and bags of sewer carp and magic eaters. I got to the point where I was sick of it and decided to go fish coins out of the fountain. I read there was a slight chance to get a rat there, but it seemed very slim so I put it out of my mind and just focused on coins.

Got down to my last gold coin for all 3 achievements and sure enough, I got the rat. My bobber was no where near the edges, was more in the middle. Either way, it was a nice surprise and I'm still annoyingly trying to get my last coin. ><

On that note, if you are going to do the coin achievements too....I'd start with those, because you may just get lucky and get the rat and not have to do as much junk fishing.

Good luck all

Commento di odayaka

Caught mine at 5:20 server time doing my Jewel of the Sewers daily. Fished it up with the corroded jewelery. I consider myself super lucky because I was fishing for weeks on another character for this pet, and I got it in three casts on this one.

Commento di Braxillian

So I just spent the past hour and a half trying to catch the last Gold Coin out of the fountain I needed without success. So I decided to read the posts on this sewer rat. After doing so I went to fish for him standing on the boat by the Inn there and just caught him on my FIRST cast. This makes up for the wasted time trying to get that coin.

Someone comes up at the end of that four hours and under ten minutes later DING! they get the achievement. *expletive expletive expletive!* Including last night I must have cast about 800 - 1000 times. I will let you know if I ever get this thing.

3/30/2010 Fished for 20 minutes straight...nothing
3/30/2010 Fished for 2 hours then came back and fished for another hour...someone comes up to me and after ten minutes gets the rat...continuing to fish I'm on my 4th enchanted vial...make that 5 enchanted vials
3/31/2010 I got exalted with the kalu'ak and got my fishing pole...the fishing daily is Jewel of the Sewers....I fished for 10 minutes and I got the rat

So...my advice would be to get exalted with Kalu'ak and get the fishing pole and try to fish when the daily is Jewel of the Sewers! I had also turned off auto-loot just in case. I had no lures or anything...just the fishing pole and the fishing hat. My fishing level was 450. I was at the pier in Catnip and Crows...three dropped including mine over three days.

Commento di pyrotool

if you have 400+fishing sit down then fish should be caught within your first 10 casts.

Commento di mrdumplings

450/450 fishing here with weather beaten fishing hat and nats boots and the kalu'ak pole and havent caught it yet, been tryin for months

Commento di 580524

Caught this leveling up my fishing in the sewers of Dalaran. At skill level 24. Yes Twenty Four. No lures, using the grey fishing pole. So it appears as though you can catch this at any level.

Commento di 582405

I've always wanted this pet (I have pet rats IRL), and got it today. I was doing the Dalaran daily in the sewers, not even thinking about getting the pet, and got it on my third cast. Cue the chorus of jealous WTF's around me. :D

Commento di 223475

It is a great vanity pet ... it looks so awesome ...
it is much larger than common rats...
too bad i catched him with my ... rogue
interfering with vanish and stealth ...
it keeps following me when i turn invisible!

ps: all vanity pets do that to the stealth classes

Commento di 585801

I started fishing at level one for this pet, and today, one cast after getting trained in grandmaster fishing, I caught it. I woke up my roommates yelling, "WOOOOOOO!"

Commento di 482086

I got pretty lucky catching this bad boy a few weeks ago on my main, a Level 80 Druid. My fishing skill was at around 65, (low, I know, but I get bored with fishing.) and I didn't have any lures on my pole. I was just attempting the Dalaran fishing daily Jewel of the Sewers. I wasn't even paying attention, because I didn't even think this amazing pet would show up. Definitely a catch of luck.

He has a cute idle animation, where he stands up and kind of looks around. (: I'm happy I caught him, though.

Commento di 502983

I got mine today while, doing the corroded jewellery fishing daily was so happy considering I had won the mammoth mount from VoA 10 min previous, anyway beyond a boast of my lucky, this catch inspired me to start farming old iron jaw and the others, I get bored quickly fishing so wap on the TV watch something you like, beyond that after about 250 casts i'd move from one achievement to the next, I was doing old iron jaw for about an hour, I then moved on to try and catch a dark herring, then moved on to old crafty and then mr crawdad, 4 hours nothing else for me, but the traveling breaks up the boredem a bit.

good luck to everyone after the pet :)

Commento di dahajack

Got it on my 25th cast, took me 6 minutes of trying!

382skill. +30 from rod, +50 from Underbelly Elixir and +100 from Aquadynamic Fish Attractor.
Nomnom.

Commento di 564150

off and on i fished for an hour here and there, then the other day, as my companion collection is nearing its end, i decided to just bang this one out. I fished for around 7 hours had about 1000 casts or so and gave up for the night, as i had to work a bit later. I got ready for work and had 10minutes to kill so i logged in, did 2 casts and bam! got my rat. Thing is huge hah. i Caught him in the shallow waters in the arena dudes' room. as a fun note, u can use underbelly elixir's and fish as a wasp or a tuskarr +50 fishing. If your a wasp, he holds the fishing rod in one of his little bug legs.

It took me over 1000 casts but I got it.

Had about 55% Sewer Carp and 25% Magic Eater rest were Vials (all 5 types), Drowned Rats and Partially Eaten Fish.

Just caught this for the second time today. Its a shame its BoP. I have 450 Fishing plus the weather beaten hat. I have never intentionally fished for this pet, i have only done the corroded jewellery quest. I always fish at Cantrips and Crows at the end of the jetty.

Caught the sewer rat at Circle of Wills

I fished behind "Dapper" Danick Blackshaft in a little nook at (34,31)

It took me 414 casts between Cantrips & Crows and Circle of Wills. Don't take your fishing grind too seriously. I did it over a few days and just fished for 20 minutes or so, often with game windowed and browsing wowhead or watching tv.

It appears that fishing skill does not matter at all with the RNG roll for this rat. There are accounts of players fishing the rat up at well below effective dalaran fishing skill. (Some catches below 200 skill)
My guess is that this rat is very similar to the magic number ascribed to other rare northrend fishing items. .2% (1 in 500)

There would be no sure way of telling the droprate of the rat unless a massive comprehensive database of fishing data were organized (volunteers?) So in the meantime, unless the RNG is being cruel to you - you can expect to have gotten the rat in ~500 casts.

Commento di Amethrin

I got this on my 4th throw! i was going to the daily to the jewel and i ended up with the jewel and a rat!

Wooho! Victory for Amberlight

Commento di 501117

7500 casts and counting. Still no pet.

Drop rate is likely lower than the extremely lucky would have you believe.

Commento di Vont

As of right now this has been the most elusive pet Ive farmed.. It took me over 4 hours in one sitting before I landed him.. Cantrips and Crows seems to be the most popular fishing spot during my time in the sewers.. Not that it matters but I stood in the boat with the NPC fisherman behind me and the fishing vendor to my right.. Never had to move, just clicked the vendor and sold off the trash.. Unless luck is on your side your gonna get plenty'O'crap before you land this bad larry..

Commento di ElWampa

Caught the rat last night on the docks near Cantrips & Crows. Skill level was around 394 with no buffs. Been trying to get him for about a week now, fishing for an hour at a time. Last night I think I did a total of 1.5 hours worth of fishing in that spot.

Good luck!

Commento di 242813

Something I've noticed that people have neglected to emphasise: Use bait even if you have max level fishing - it will better your odds.

Blizzard changed fishing mechanics so that your effective fishing level now affects your odds of fishing 'better' catches each cast.

Throughout my 2000+ casts prior to using bait, I was catching lots of Weeds, Sickly Fish, and a range of vials (amongst other things) with 450 fishing and a Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. After using Bright Baubles, I instantly noticed I was catching more Drowned Rat, not to mention zero Weeds nor Sickly Fish. (Note: Sample space for post-bait is <100.)

So my after 2000+ fruitless casts of baitless fishing, I managed to catch my own Ratty in the duration of merely 2 baubles.

I dare to say Jewel of the Sewers daily creates similar situation as Crocolisks in the City is/was for catching Old Crafty.

I, personally, got 2 while doing the daily and my g/f just caught hers, so even if I don't have solid numbers to support this, I would say it's a fair shoot to only try to catch it doing that daily, discarding the jewel if caught.

Commento di AleAle

over 1700 cast at Cantrips and nothing...

Commento di Kokiron

I just caught this on my lvl 70 priest with 180 fishing + Tuskaar buff + bright baubles + strong fishing pole = 310 fishing. Got the fishing daily item in a couple of casts and decided to go ahead and fish until my buffs ran out to skill up, and on the last cast before my buffs were gone I got it. So if anyone is wondering, it IS possible to get this at a lower level/fishing skill (and it'll get you some nasty looks from anyone standing nearby, too).

Commento di 669865

I was sure I wasn't going to get it because it seems that people who fish up this companion have a fishing level of 500+ (with lures, etc) but mine is probably about 420 with fishing lures and I got the companion after about and hour and fifteen minutes.
It's really cute, imo and I'm happy I got lucky :)

Commento di 455222

After 133 fishing dailies and over 12347 fish caught I finally nabbed this little fellow yesterday. What makes this pet all the more worthwhile is that the Shattering is taking place tomorrow and all the portals in Dalaran are going byebye. As such, making the trip up to Dalaran just to do the fishing dailies will be taking a back seat for quite a few people now.

Commento di Hoboonaparkbench

Got this a few months ago after fishing off-and-on in the sewers since it was introduced. The day I got it I was only fishign for ~15 minutes before I randomly see a blue item out of the corner of my eye while reading chat and then see an achievement flash. I was still in the mood to fish and moved over to my friend's account to fish for it some more while continuing a conversation with someone I was talking to (who was fishing next to me) and after about 10 minutes I got another one on her character. Was probably my luckiest moment in WoW since I got my server's first Time-Lost Proto-Drake in November of '08.

Just keep going at it is all I can say, even if you only have a few minutes to fish. Who knows, you may get lucky.

Commento di 474543

After 2007 catches at the Cantrips & Crows, I finally have this :D

Commento di Ghaleon

I can confirm that you can catch this while fishing in the fountain for coins.

EDIT: I see now that I failed to point out that the rat is only catchable in the sewers, however, the very edge of the fountain is considered to be part of the sewers, thanks to a fortuitous (if you're looking for the rat, that is) bug.

Commento di Zarindra

This is the best pet ever aside from the Children's Week rat.

I found this guy in the Catnip & Crows after about 12 hours of non-stop fishing. I used Nat's Lucking fishing pole and 8 cups of coffee haha :)

i did dalaran fishing dailies for a few months, so fished a decent amount in the underbelly for but never saw the elusive giant sewer rat until i camped it.

i fished in the boat with Sebastian Bower outside Cantrips and Crows and got it after

199 sewer carp
97 magic eater
40 crystal vial
13 drowned rats
13 partially eaten fish

not too bad actually i probably got it on the faster side of the spectrum

((Saw a comment similar to this, decided to try my hand at my own fishing story... Sounded fun. *_* I love to write, so this made me try to write a bit for my mage!))
“All that work… For a minnow?” Asylinne stared in shock at the small, silvery fish dangling from the hook. It had been hardly worth the time… Scowling, she tossed the tiny fish back into the water.
The rumors she’d heard about a giant rat that lurked in the sewers of the city must have been false… For days she’d fished for the creature, never finding it.
For a moment she was mesmerized by the ripple of the dark water of the sewers of Dalaran… The water seemed to make the stones sway and move. There was no way to tell if it was night or day. She frowned, casting one last time. It was about time to head home – it was chilly in the Underbelly, and she was starting to get tired.
There was a gentle tug on the hook and… Was that… blood? A few bubbles… She began to reel the … Fish? In gently… Something pink was on the end of her line. A worm? No… There was something gray attached. As it came out of the water, she stared in shock. A giant rat, dripping with blood and water, hung from the hook.
She quickly dropped it onto the wooden dock – squealing, it ran in circles, trying to catch the hook that was stabbed through its tail. In moments, it was tangled in fishing line, struggling to free itself. Asylinne watched in amusement for a moment, before kneeling to attempt to remove the hook from the rat’s tail. It screeched in protest, and attempted to twist to bite her, but was too tangled in the line to do so.
Finally, after what seemed to be hours later, Asylinne sat, the hook lying forgotten on the dock next to her, bandaging the rat’s bleeding tail. It was still tangled in fishing line. The rat watched her with wary eyes as she began to untangle it from the silvery string. It looked half starved…
“You poor thing.” Asylinne said, smiling at the rat, opening her backpack. The smell of fish and meat wafted from the bag, and the rat stood on its hind legs, sniffing eagerly. It quickly grabbed the piece of dried, spiced wolf meat that dangled from Asylinne’s thin, long fingers. It didn’t try to flee as she moved to pet it. “Huh.” Asylinne said with a smile. “Seems I’ve made another friend.”(##RESPBREAK##)140##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##Excessive markup usage.

Fished mine up on the way to max level, spent the better part of 100-500 in dalaran, got this just seconds ago sitting on the boat next to the supply vendor at Cantrips and Crows after spending maybe 2-3 hours down there.

I'd also like to say that this has no loot confirm window, which was something I wasn't sure of.

Happy fishing!

Same here; got the rat from the bag, got the Una nutria per amica achievement, and I have never purchased the fishing skill.

Commento di StormbornRage

I seem to be experiencing a bug where this pet will randomly summon itself at times when I have chosen a different pet. I have no keybindings or clickable buttons that will summon the rat and I find this really annoying. I may be the only one but I really dislike this pet, especially when I'm admiring my newfound Snarly or have Speedy out for good luck while trying to catch the turtle mount. Has anyone else experienced this or does the rat just have a personal vendetta with me?

Can it now only be found in the Satchel Of Exotic Mysteries? If so all that time spent fishing wasted! Oh the HUMANITY! Well.... for some people anyway, I'm the dodgy bugger who caught it within my first ever 5 minutes of fishing in the Dalaran sewers.

Commento di ToolPackinMama

My Goblin rogue just fished up the Giant Sewer Rat while doing the Dalaren fishing daily. I have nearly 15 alts, all of whom are fishermen, but she is the only one who caught it.

The rat is HUGE, LOL, especially next to my tiny Goblin. They are nearly the same size.

I think a rat is a particularly appropriate pet for a rogue. :)

Commento di 857993

I just got this big "fella" hooked after approx:

2½ hours of fishing
+76 fishing skill gained (i started with 390) (I had +140 skill from gear while fishing)
438 Sewer Carps
200 Magic Eaters
79 Crystal Vials
40 Drowned Rats
35 Partially Eaten Fish

I started to fish in The Black Market but the bobber landed in such weird places so i moved to the Shallow waters at Arena Battlemasters, but there were too many ppl running back and forth there so i missed out on a lot of catches. Finally i found my self a nice, calm spot outside the Cantrips & Crows Inn. I stod bellow the docks, on the slope leading down into the water. I got the same drops in all 3 places so i don't think it matters where u fish and i also got the same drops at 390(+140) fishing skill as i did with 466(+140).

Good Luck and happy Rat fishing!

After fishing up 525 items from the Dalaran sewers I finally fished up the rat. It was while I was fishing at the dock by the fishing trainer. I used Underbelly Elixir to get +50 fishing skill as well as a +25 fishing pole and a +75 lure, all in all ending up with a bit over 525 in fishing skill.

My fishing skill was not this hight when I started fishing for the rat though, so I might have gotten it sooner otherwise.

The item got picked up automaticly by the auto loot btw, didnt have to click on it.

Commento di 219269

Started with a 460 fishing skill. Fished for nearly three hours. Got to 525. And literally after a couple of casts I get the rat.
Used the weather beaten fishing hat, and the Bone pole thing. Fished up approximately 40 stacks of useless stuff.

Commento di 513113

I'm an extremely lazy farmer - i have tried 2-3 times prior and maybe cast in total 20 casts each time to catch this but no success.

Today - 463 fishing skill, using the Weather Beaten Fishing Hat lure and the Tuskarr form from Underbelly Elixer, i caught this within 36 casts, very easy!
I have caught this on my other char but did take in the region of 2-3 days to catch at 525 using the same lure and form - so it can vary

but worth it - my favorite pet!

Commento di 821880

Finally caught him in the upper part of Dalaran sewers last night around 8:30pm Europe time or 11:30am PST. Was fishing next to someone who was on cast 1300+ but no luck, then he moved to the other side and after a few minutes BAM! I caught him. I wasn't excepting it at all, I zoned out for an hour and fished on auto-pilot while watching a movie and I heard the achievement gained sound and saw the icon in my loot! I gave it a cookie and it's HUGE! When you give a rat a cookie....

Commento di hadoken

To add to statistical data:

Did every fishing daily within the Underbelly during WotLK era. Always fished at the end of the docks, by the inn. Always. Never got him... Easily 80 dailies over 2years, about 8 casts average before Jewel quest item.

~640 casts, no rat.

Cata releases, no more Dalaran for me. Recently became obsessed with dinging 150pets so I began fishing _at the docks_ again.

Thankfully, there is hardly anyone in Dalaran anymore which makes this more tolerable as you can earbud the sound, cast, TV/interwebs and click back when the sploosh is made (knowing it is your sploosh). Binding cast to middle mouse button made this a one-hand affair. Almost became subconscious over the 6-7hrs (over a few days) this took to farm.

1500 casts, give or take a few dozen. Rat is mine. No more Dalaran for me... really.

Dear god, I finally got it, I'm so stoked! After about 2 weeks of trying, all told, and just recently, spending hours just staring at the arena water and black market then finally camping off the dock at C&C, I finally caught the little sucker. Took me about 3,598 casts, though that's only a guesstimation since I installed Rarity a little bit after I really started trying for this guy.

I thought for sure I was gonna have to go into the 4k range for this guy, but sure enough around 3,500 he finally decided to pop up and say hi! So if you're trying and trying for hours and hours, don't give up, he will show! Eventually. xD Even for someone who's RNG is usually on the horribly low side. It CAN be done!

For those who are curious, my fishing is 525 maxed, and I was using the Master Kalu'ak fishing pole, so no trash. Only when I did fishing dailies back in Wrath did I get trash.

After freaking out and dancing with my rat in the sewers for a few minutes, I went to bed. It just goes to show that it's all about luck.

Commento di Scream26

Just got this little bugger. It took me 1874 casts and about 7 hours of time sitting on the dock in Cantrips & Crows. I can confirm that you are no longer prompted with the "Looting will bind it to you" message and auto-loot will work as it should. Happy hunting!

Commento di 942257

I can confirm it being caught near the Cantrips & Crows Inn! If your facing the building/dock head on and look to the right there is a ramp that leads into the water. I stood there for like atleast 6 to 8 hours. Over 1500 casts and finally got it. I suggest putting in a movie listen for the sound (indicating you caught somthing) when you here it click and cast. Continue and expect to be there for hours. If your patient and can stay entertained and not go crazy, you WILL get it. Just dont stop once youve started until you got it. Have some faith and youll have it. i used Canna da Pesca in Grafite di Seth with no attchment and a 525 skill level (max). Good luck anglers have faith and dont give up!

Commento di Ieyasu

I started fishing for this little guy today and I got within the first 50 casts.
I guess I was very lucky. :D
In total I got
20 Sewer Carps
2 Partially Eaten Fish
3 Drowned Rat
11 Magic Eater
8 Crystal Vials
1 Giant Sewer Rat.

Commento di 947534

I would be remiss if I didn't add my own comment. I got the rat after 1932 casts with the following stats:

Sewer Carp 1057 (54%)
Magic Eater 508 (26%)
Crystal Vial 187(9%)
Partially Eaten Fish 99(5%)
Drowned Rat 80(4%)
Giant Sewer Rat 1(0.05%)

It was the posts about the larger numbers of casts that continued to keep me hopeful, so I thought I would post my own experience to show that even though it can take a huge number of casts, it will drop eventually. Keep fishing!

Commento di Gundy

Got mine relatively quick. I was in Dalaran for less than an hour and got mine.

Sewer Carp x19
Crystal Vial x9
Magic Eater x6
Partially Eaten Fish x5
Drowned Rat x2
Giant Sewer Rat x1

Definitely Autolootable now, and seems drop rate is quicker to me. Last time I tried this, I never got it and spent two hours fishing it.

Commento di cinb40

I have lost count of the casts I have made seeking this varmint.... yes varmint! Little sewer rat why do you hate me? I promise you cookies and cheese and lots of hugs, I'll even give you baths so you are sparkly clean. For almost two years at least twice a week and lots of times more often I fish for you, waiting patiently for you to jump into my bag and join all my other little pets. Waiting for you on the dock by Cantrips, fishing pole casting time after time, please put me out of my misery
PS I have cookies!

After four very long, six to eight hours a day, and thousands of cast the little angel finally dropped. Had got tired of casting off the dock so moved to the circle of wills. Casting right by the Dalaran Sewer Rat with the four turtles by it, approximately 3 hours in it finally dropped. There were four of us there casting, applause from all when it popped across the screen. Good luck and be patient, very cool pet to chase me around especially since it is as tall as my little gnome

Commento di 806874

It didn't take me too long to get this. Sorry guys. Did the daily in Dal and decided to stay a while and see if I could pull it in. Only took about 5 minutes after i got the quest objective.

Did about 1700 casts yesterday, no rat. Today 751 casts and I got it.

Well over 4k cast so be ready to invest some time, but I still think this is one of the funniest companions in game so totaly wurth it.
Fished up at Cantrips & Crows Inn end of the dock 525skill without lures or anything 21/03/2012.

Commento di Skyrixx

I just got this with a total of 77 casts having max fishing and using the Hungry Walrus buff from the Underbelly Elixir, the Aquadynamic Fish Attractor lure, and a Jeweled Fishing Pole which totaled out to be 705 fishing skill.

Edit: Mind you this is about the 50th time I've tried fishing this thing up! :)

Commento di ISeeVoices

Finaly after more then 2 years and days of fishing I got him. I have it on 3 characters and on the first two it was RNG madness.
1st time got it with less then 300 fishing skill while doing Jewel of the Sewers quests in WotLK, 2nd time was a few weeks ago while doing the same quest on an alt with less then 200 fishing skill and yday I got it on my main while using the Kalu fishing pole, fisherman hat and lure while on the quest Jewel of the Sewers. My guess is that the drop rate is higher if you have the quest?

Commento di ianh05

RNG was on my side today, got this big fella after fishing for less then 5 mins in dalaran underbelly.

Commento di mushu999

Ok spent most of two days fishing near the inn below, then decided to try the flask and become a Tuskarr, so now with a fishing score of 608 it took only five casts and I got it. Coincidence? Hmmm....

Commento di 999033

I spend over last 12 hours trying to fish this rat in sawers and finally got. It's really random time consuming achievment. You can spend 1minute to over 36 hours doing it. The best would be just stick to it and don't give up. Good luck ;)

Commento di CorvidaeBBeard

I guess count me among the lucky. I was looking to see what companions I was missing and found out about this one. So I head to the sewers and 16 casts later I got that rat! Now if all the other companions I am after would drop like that lol!

Commento di 1010454

Got this little guy after 142 casts from the dock at the tavern. I was planning to stay much longer, but looks like luck was on my side!

Commento di rmp412

Glad somebody else had good luck today. 4.5 hours, 771 casts, and a big headache later I caught that giant rat. Fished in the circle of wills for the first 600ish casts, then moved to the tavern dock because more people seemed to catch him there. Fished most of the time with 525 fishing, +30 pole, +100 lure, but didn't have the lure active when I finally caught him. Good luck and just keep at it!

Commento di santipants

Damn, I feel terrible reading all these posts about how long it took to fish up. I just got one in a satchel for tanking and don't even want to send it to an alt because I could care less about it. Wish it were a BOE pet I could sell.

Commento di 1017427

Fished up a few days ago on the forth cast of the night. The wife looked at me and gave me the finger. She's been trying to get it since the beginning of Wrath (I was as well but had stopped at the launch of Cata). The better part was that I went to Tol Barad and killed a fox (after trying for a few days) and got the Fox Kit. Again, the wife gave me the finger. An hour later, I went to Magisters' Terrace and got the mount there on the first run. Now if only the Disgusting Oozling would drop for me, I could be on my way.

Fishing was at 663 after bobber and equipped fishing gear for the Giant Sewer Rat.

Edit. This was at CaC Inn.

Commento di Barleduq

I GOT IT!

*ahem*

Fishing into the batch of turtles.
Drank Underbelly Elixir till I got the Tuskarr buff.
using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.
Wearing the Weatherbeaten Hat and using the Fishing Lure from it.
On top of maxed Fishing.

I was in the sewers for the Dal Fishing Daily and decided to put on the works and fish as long as the Tuskarr buff lasted. Got the Rat on the 23rd pull (multiple casts cause it kept landing in the mound of dirt and I couldn't click the bobber).

I GOT THE RAT!

Partially Eaten Fish Caught - FBI now asking more questions about them than my torrents.
Crystal Vial Caught - Stop by Crazy Yoink's Drug Emporium on Windrunner! 20 free Vials with every Flask!

# of times Whiskers collapsed from boredom - couple hundred.

Made my way from 225 to 525 in fishing, all in then underbelly, and yet no sign of the rat. I've been fishing more than a thousand fishes last night, and still nothing :(((

Commento di 990612

Found on eu-bronze dragonflight AH today for 2k.

Commento di Treelos

These can be sold as BOE's through the new battle pet caging system. (All pets can be sold through this system now)

Auction house prices vary from server to server, but based on the difficulty to fish this pet up, the price will likely remain 'highish' (compared to other non-combat pets).

Getting the rat from a satchel gives the achievement still, so as far as I know buying it from the AH should do the same.

^ I haven't confirmed this though so if someone knows let me know :L.

Commento di 821994

Now in MOP I purchased this on the AH. It unfortunately does NOT count toward the fishing achievement
"I smell a giant rat" and it's initials are WOW.

Commento di Daluur

if you buy it from BMAH it WILL count towards the achievement, I did this today 30/10-12 and I got the achievement!
some write that you will not get it if you buy it from ah, but, thats is the regular ah (which means it is a battle pet)
it's the same as people getting the achievement when getting the pet from the satchel of mysteries. Just want everyone to know this!

*edit* just realized that I hadn't even learned it, I just looted it from the mailbox, and I got the achievement!, which means that the achievement is granted upon looting it, not only fishing it up

Commento di 1056066

Just fished this bad-boy up outside C&C at the end of the dock. As others have said, no autoloot issues anymore so goes straight into your bag.

Caught it after 130casts.

Used a Bright Bauble, with my Arcanite Fishing Pole. Base skill started at 300 (using a char that was last played during classic wow) and ended at 343.

Good Luck all - think I got pretty lucky

Commento di Mutsumi

Buying this as a battle pet from the Auction House will not count towards the achievement.

Commento di kaushik

Warning: This pet will NOT be fished in to your lure master tackle box (36 slot fishing bag). So you need normal bags with empty space to get this pet.

Commento di rafaelbc

Drop rate shown on wowhead is ~0.03%.
So.. doing the math, overall chance of one within the next:

2mins (5 casts): 0.15% (Hell Lucky)
6mins (20 casts): 0.6% (Damn Lucky)
15mins (50 casts): 1.5% (Very very Lucky)
30mins (100 casts): 2.9% (Pretty Lucky)
1h (200 casts): 5.8% (Bastard Lucky)
2h (400 casts): 11.3% (Lucky)
5h (1000 casts): 26% (Slightly Lucky)
10h (2000 casts): 45% (Typical)
15h (3000 casts): 59% (Slightly Unlucky)
30h (6000 casts): 83% (A lot unlucky)
50h (10000 casts): 95% (You should get checked)
100h (20000 casts): 99.75% (Guess you're cursed)

Note: Before the kraken of downvote is unleashed, this is just a baseline informative post. Probabilities are not predictable, you could get yours on frist try or try #10000, it's all about luck.

Edit: Thanks @Uforia for pointing out, fixed it =)

Commento di Gemstars

Caught my rat yesterday while I was fishing for coins for Maestro delle monetine in the Dalaran fountain. According to earlier comments if your lure lands on the edges of the fountain you get the loot table for the Dalaran Sewer.
Either way a nice little surprise :D

Got it in about 130 casts (35 minutes).

Commento di costa52

Writing to share:
in 5.0 was trying to fish this out several times (>30 mins of fishing each time with full Fisherman attire = total skill >680 + lure) with no luck.
Just now while doing Polpettone di Funghi Umidi, decided to fish a bit "barehanded" and caught it on the 3rd cast!

Pure luck I guess, unless they somehow changed drop% in 5.2

Commento di deviouskat89

Buying this pet off of the Black Market Auction House *will* grant you the achievement. These comments are incorrect that you get the battle pet. What you actually get is the item that teaches the pet; I won it today and was granted the achievement as soon as I used the item to learn the pet.

Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist.
Don't give up, this guy is hard to catch but he's pretty neat. I was surprised at his size, as a small human hunter this rat is nearly a third of my size. I fished him up from the dock of Cantrips and Crows after three days of short 5-15 minute fishing spurts, I probably spent a total of 35 minutes fishing for him (which is an unusually short amount of time, unfortunately.)

Well i watched a TV show while fishing. Specifically, Revolution (Season 1, Episode 2). It was 42:35 long. At the end of the episode, I actually caught the Giant Rat (well after replaying the last 5 minutes over again as I wasn't paying attention).

During that time I caught the following:

68 x Sewer Carp
33 x Magic Eater
12 x Crystal Vial
10 x Tattered Cloth
8 x Weeds
6 x Partially Eaten Fish
6 x Tangled Fishing Line
11 x Driftwood
5 x Drowned Rat
1 x Rock
9 x Sickly Fish
1 x Giant Sewer Rat

Unless they changed the drop rate, I think the trick is to keep at it without stopping.

Fished for an hour or two tonight, no luck unless you consider 18 partially digested fish, 20 drowned rats, 30 crystal vials, 174 sewer carp and 79 magic eaters to add up to something lucky.

Anyway, I fished mostly at the black market area, and found that while I could read the text of Rhonin's same tired speech every time he did it (didn't count, but I estimate about 15 times while I was there), I could not hear him from that fishing spot. No more having Rhonin blabbing away distracting from the sound of the bobber splash.

Definitely my new favorite spot to fish for this darn pet.

Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.

I started farming for the Pantegana Gigante a month or two ago.

I only spent maybe a good total of nine hours... possibly even more.

Location: Spent most, if not all, of my time fishing in Cantrips & Crows.

Fishing: 700 + 190 (890) - I was using the Canna del Gran Pescatore dei Kalu'ak combined with Cappello da Pesca Consunto initially before buying Cappello da Bevute di Nat and using that instead for the last nearly two hundred casts. I feel Cappello da Bevute di Nat made a huge difference, but that might just be me.
Total casts: 2190

Can confirm that as of 7.2, he is still catchable in Old Dalaran. Finally caught him today at the docks near Cantrips & Crows.

This pet took me about 10 hours of fishing, exactly 2,487 casts. To avoid the PvP of the Broken Isles Dalaran Sewer, I fished in the Underbelly of the Northrend Dalaran. I was using my pole +66, +15, and +160, for a total skill level of 1,041. Just a prop tip: I find that whenever I start complaining about not getting the drop I want, I will soon get it. Good luck, fisherpeople!

When fishing in the Underbelly in Dalaran, you have a chance to catch Pantegana Gigante, which awards the achivement Una nutria per amica.

Note that the items you fish up, with the exception of Ampolla di Cristallo, 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 di Fogna
177 No Pesce Magico
82 No Ampolla di Cristallo
41 No Pesce Mezzo Mangiato
39 No Ratto Annegato
1 No Pantegana Gigante

In total, it took me 737 casts, using an alt with a skill level of approximately 650 to 800.

Commento di MrFhtagn

catched again today 702 casts old dalaran sewers

Commento di SteveRocks

Got this today off the BMAH for only 1200 gold which to me is totally worth the time I don't have to spend fishing. If anyone is wondering, it still awards the achievement when you open your mail from the BMAH.

It's 2019, my beard is getting gray and I still didn't fish this rat bastard...

Commento di Vazterial

Commento di Laheree

He makes all the rules.

Commento di Maritan

OK... 2100 casts so far, and still no luck. Came to Wowhead to see if there were any tips/tricks in the comments that might help, but doesn't look like it. Sure hope I catch this thing soon...

Commento di Sututiv

Commento di Syiranya

I can confirm that you can fish this up in Legion Dalaran, next to the old Black Market, as I just received it.

Commento di Qisa

Fished this up today after a few hours of fishing in the Underbelly of Old Dalaran. Took approximately 1000 casts for me. I just alt+tabbed back and forth to Netflix while I watched something - it's not something you want to sit and watch.

Commento di HexOfTheRitual

5,500K+ casts... after single handedly committing a Sewer Carp genocide and sending them into extinction I found the rat!
This makes my rat a 0.018% chance.

Fished up at Cantrips and Crows

Northrend Fishing 75+5/75 only using the Strong Fishing Pole sold by Angelo Pescatore who's standing right there on the docks. No additional lures or buffs or anything.

Additional information that definitely does NOT matter but worth mentioning for the superstitious-
I used the Draconium Fisherfriend (+6 fishing) for the first 5k casts and never got it, bought the Strong Fishing Pole (+5 fishing) and got it in about <500.

Commento di Ootso

Got it today at 304th cast. A little trick if you still don't know. Get "Better Fishing" addon, there will be "Cast and Interract" section at your keybinds option. For me my main key was extra mouse button(if you dont use a mouse with extra buttons try middle button) and secondry key was num-lock 0. So you can fish without looking your screen, just click keyboard or mouse button which attached when you hear sound. Good luck!

Commento di Blueyan

This may just be coincidence but I wonder if this pet can only be fished up when the 'Jewel of the sewers' fishing quest is up. I've been trying for this for a little while with 1620 casts before today. Today the quest was up and I got it within 200 casts.

Commento di Corryn

Got mine in 885 casts (Probably an additional 25-30 casts missed from spacing out) In total I got:
391 Sewer Carps
202 Magic Eaters
54 Crystal Vials
44 Weeds
37 Tattered Cloth
36 Driftwood
32 Drowned Rats
31 Tangled Fishing Line
29 Sickly Fish
27 Partially Eaten Fish
1 Water Snail
1 Giant Sewer Rat

Commento di BorisMorosov

I fished a tonne in Legion Underbelly while farming for Ratstallion and never got this. Was in Dalaran for something unrelated today and thought I'd fish for some coins in the fountain while I was here. Caught this in the fountain of all places in Legion Dalaran.

Commento di Shirayukicz

I caught my pet today. I was fishing in Dalaran (Crystalsong Forest) The Underbelly 52.00, 50.58 and I cast the rod in front of the place where the Dalaran Sewer Rat was standing with Dalaran Sewer Turtles. Approximately 30 casts with the rod :)

Commento di Nacebomb

Caught after 1427 casts! Finally :)

Commento di lowlifezombie
