You wouldn't want to meet this rat in a dark alley. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
Don't make the mistake I made and buy it on the auction house. That's great for beefing up yout unique pet collection, but you do not get the "I Smell a Rat" Achievment.
I make a strategy. 10 casts per day, 1% of chance. Got lucky in day seven. Dont know if works for everyone, but this way i didnt get crazy. Nice guy, by the way. (sry about the english, trying to learn)
Finally got this guy today!
Took me 3248 casts @ about 3.8 a minute. That's about 855 minutes or 14.25 hours. Was it worth it? Depends how important achievements are to you. I found one on the AH for 2k and I'd say buying that would definitely be better value if I didn't care about the achievement.
My advice: Find something you can do while you're fishing. I played keno pop on a java games website. Fishing is awful, keno pop is awful, but if I put them together I'm moderately entertained!
Finally caught one in cantrips and crows in about 600 casts. Didn't do it in 1 session, went back and forth quite a lot of times.
Attempted to buy it from the black market auction house several times (to get the achievement) but kept getting outbid/never bothered to camp the AH :(
Oh well, got the achievement the proper way now! :)
Got mine today after 2028 attempts. It almost took me by surprise. Happy to have concluded this farm though. :-)
I fished mine up next to Cantrips & Crows today, in Dalaran (Northrend), version 9.0.5.
As of 8.3, this still drops. Got it on my 74th cast, I consider myself lucky.
I've been looking for a strong critter, and this guy definitely fits the bill. 341 power is awesome with stampede. What he lacks is speed, which isn't surprising. Would be a much better battler if crouch were in the 2nd slot. With such a slow per flurry is wasted.
Confirmed it still drops in Northrend sewers, Fished at Catrips and Crows for about a half hour when mine dropped, it dropped by itself and I got the achievement.
I'm struggling trying to get down there. I'm back from a long hiatus of playing and everytime I head down into the sewers I get killed. How do I get down there without dying? I've been trying to get this guys for YEARS and still don't have him . So frustrating. :(
Took 6 casts while reading comments about it here..lol lucky
Got mine yesterday in Northrend Dalaran sewers. Probably in the 200 to 300 range of casts.
I can confirm that this is still in the loot table if you fish outside of the red or green schools at the Black Market in the new Underbelly of Dalaran (Legion 2017). Just got mine closer to 1000 casts. Good luck out there! Don´t give up :3
