Breanni Says:

I've been trying to determine what species of crab the little Strand Crawler actually is. Is it a Blue Crab? Maybe a Ghost Crab? I keep leaning towards the rare Ghostcrawler, but that species is known for its wisdom and keen insight. My little crawler just stares into space blowing bubbles...

For your information, the Drop rate did increase. It used to be really really low. Just like the Baby crocolisks! :) But you probably already knew the drop rate for the "Crocolisks in the City" was increased to 25% (Am I right?).

Well still, it's just a luck thing. I got this pet on my 59th daily. Just like I tried (and still trying) to get the Skeletal Horse from Strat' (126 runs so far). Luck...just luck

I love fishing, and I'm so glad Blizz made fishing a pet-friendly profession.

Here's to hoping they make cooking pet-friendly and add a Gingerbread Boy... fun times.

I do not see how the drop rate could have increased... I really wish they made this a reward for doing the dailies a certain amount of times or something. I am pretty certain I am cursed when it comes to fishing rewards though... might have something to do with this fetish I picked up at the tournaments...!

Yes the drop rate increase doesn't seem to really fit in. Been doing the daily since it came out got six bells, four waterlogged recipes, two bone fishing poles, one jewled, two epic gems yet no crab. The croc has definetly increased though.

Edit: I finally got the crab after months and months of doing the daily. 11/15/09

Well, I've been doing the fishing daily every day since the droprate was increased(and before then, as well) and just today finally got it, so I dunno what the droprate is, but it's certainly MUCH lower than the crocs(once the droprate on those was increased I was getting a croc nearly every other time I did that quest).

Sometimes I like to get on my Warlock (Or Mage, what I am, my good fellow defies explanation), summon the Strand Crawler, and do a little....Role Playing.

I disagree completely with any kind of drop rate increase speculation on this Crab. I have done this daily every day since it's release, I have plenty of fishing poles to show off, made a good bit of gold off some bells, statues, and paintings, and quite a lot more. Yet the crab continue to elude me from day 1. Had the rate increased, then by all accounts, that thing should be mine by now.
