Gift box with 5 Super Healing Potions and 5 Super Mana Potions.

Magical Crawdad Box containing a Magical Crawdad non-combat pet.

Mr. Pinchy's Blessing: Health increased by 1200. This effect persists through death and is considered a flask. 2 hour duration.

Furious Mr. Pinchy: Level 70 non-elite attacks you and your party. Has 5560 HP, with 3155 Mana.

Commento di Dagosta

This is a fishable item, you can have it from Highland Fishing Pools, in Terrokar forrest. You'll need flying mount and ~480 fishing skill at least. Respawn rate of the pools is around 1 hour, and the chance to get this is very low aswell (approximately under 1%). Good luck for it!

Here's a really good page devoted to catching Furious Crawdad's & Mr. Pinchy (Broken Link)(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##Link broken.

So this item actually disappears after you've used it 3 times? That would be quite disappointing with a 2 day cooldown on the uses and the time involved farming a Mr.Pinchy. :(

Commento di 22739

Yes it disappears after 3 uses. I've caught 2 Mr. Pinchys so far, finished off the last charge of the first one this morning. Still no pet, 6 days of agony to go :O

Commento di 5302

I have to wonder if the drop rate is accurate, or if I've just been lucky, but I caught my first Mr. Pinchy after my first 25 or so successful casts (which doesn't include casts where fish got away) into Highland Mixed Schools. He gave me Mr. Pinchy's Blessing twice, and a Benevolent Mr. Pinchy.

Last night I caught my second Mr. Pinchy after about 375 successful casts (over time - not all in one sitting!) First reward was another Benevolent Mr. Pinchy... I'm hoping for the crawdad pet for one of the next two wishes. :)

In total, I've caught 2 Mr. Pinchys out of a total of 400 successful casts. Both times I caught him in the Blackwind Lake/Skettis area.

My skill is 500 even. 375 skill, +20 fishing pole, +5 hat, +100 lure.

Commento di 16848

Make sure your inventory isn't full when you use it! If you get the pet or the gift box thing, it'll use a charge but you'll get nothing.

Commento di 35338

The Mr. Pinchy's Gift actually varies slightly...it will be 4-5 Super Healing Potions as well as 4-5 Super Mana Potions, It is not a set amount, but will always be at least 4 of each.

Only fished out of Highland Mixed Schools. There are a total of 17 Highland mixed schools in the three Fly-top only lakes in Terrokar Forest. 3 in the lake above Stonebreaker point, 4 that spawn in the lake just above and behind Allerian Stronghold, and 10 in Blackwind Lake/Skettis. Mr. Pinchy's drop rate appears to be about a 0.2% drop rate on successful casts (about 2 out of 1000 or 1 in 500 casts) so be prepared to spend alot of time on this.

Had 527 Fishing when i caught him, counting my lure...The game maximum:
375 Base Fishing, +35 Fishing Arcanite Fishing Pole, +5 Fishing High Test Eternium Fishing Line, +5 Fishing Lucky Fishing Hat, +5 Fishing Nat Pagle's Extreme Angling Boots, and +2 Fishing skill to glove enchant. and +100 Fishing Aquadynamic Fish Attractor.
You will no longer receive "your fish got away" messages at 525 fishing or higher (only attainable with all fishing tournament rare fish rewards and the Arcanite Fishing Pole won from the sunday Fishing Tournament.)

I bet this is a Simpsons reference to Homer's Pet lobster "Pinchy".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_in_The_Simpsons#Pinchy

Dunno why I am posting this though, it just sorta popped into my mind when I found this.

Commento di 13948

Sadly, Furious Mr. Pinchy is classified as a "Humanoid" and cannot be tamed by hunters

Commento di 60829

Benevolent mr. pinchy, the one that fights for you for 10 minutes, hits for about 200, and stacks sunder armor...not really important, just interesting

Commento di 25428

If you raid save your wishes for a raid before a boss fight.

The Benevolent Mr. Pinchy not only stacks sunder armor, his debuff STACKS with the warrior sunder armor resulting in double the armor reduction. We had him out on Tidewalker and melee damage was much higher and he died faster than ever.

Commento di 17690

Mathematical probability (using the Law of Large Numbers):

Since there are 5 possible outcomes, the probability of getting the Magical Crawdad Pet is most likely 1 in 5, or 20%.

With three "charges" per Mr. Pinchy, the probability of getting the Magical Crawdad Pet with each individual Mr. Pinchy is 48.8%.

Getting 2 Mr. Pinchys gives you a 73.8% chance to get the Crawdad Pet.
Getting 3 Mr. Pinchys gives you a 86.6% chance to get the Crawdad Pet.
Getting 4 Mr. Pinchys gives you a 93.1% chance to get the Crawdad Pet.
Getting 5 Mr. Pinchys gives you a 96.5% chance to get the Crawdad Pet.

Keep in mind that this is just statistical analysis of the probability of the event occuring before you start trying to get him. The Gambler's Fallacy says that no matter how many charges you've used unsuccesfully, each charge still hold exactly a 20% chance of yielding the pet. If you haven't gotten the Magical Crawdad Pet by your 5th Mr. Pinchy, then you'd best stop trying or you just might go crazy.

This is scheduled to be fixed with the next content patch. According to the patch notes, if your inventory is full you will receive your gift in the mail.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, in 2.1.0, the Mr. Pinchy's Blessing was changed to 500hp for 2 hours.

I used my first wish today under patch 2.2.3, and Got Mr. Pinchy's Blessing, which only gave 500 bonus health, instead of the 1200 mentioned above.

Commento di Gnare

By the way, you absolutely do not need to max out your fishing to catch this.

I only had 360+20 (pole)+100 (lure) = 480 and I caught him from a mixed pool.

Commento di Yadro

Well, I'm lvl 62 with 375 fishing, +20 for the Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole and was using the +100 lure... I WALKED up to lake Ere'Noru and got a Mr. Pinchy on my first cast. Not bad. Come on Crawdad Pet!!!!

Commento di 10954

Yes I've had 2 blessings from Mr. Pinchy and both have been +500 health. I posted a picture of the buff but it hasn't been attached.

"Health increased by 500. This effect persists through death and is considered a Flask."
2 hours remaining

Commento di 133670

Mr. pinchy could do with loosing some weight

Commento di Kibazu

I managed to catch two of them today, just to realize that they share cooldowns! Nobody had stated that yet. That's 10 days of waiting for cooldowns for me.

Moreover, I have exactly 500 Fishing obtained with:

Base Fishing skill: 375
Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20)
Lucky Fishing Hat (+5)
Aquadynamic Fish Attractor (+100)

... and the fish never get away from me. 500 is the cap for Highland Mixed Schools. Period.

Commento di 80089

Now that Captain Rumsey's Lager is available from cooking, you no longer need to worry about missing some of the rare items for the golden number 525. Also, the Sharpened Fish Hook gives an unlimited supply of +100 enchants (instead of stacking up on Aquadynamic Fish Attractors).
Fishing just got a bit easier!

Commento di syst

Just tested this today and yes, Furious Mr. Pinchy can be mind controlled. His abilities are Auto Attack and Sunder Armor.

I might add that this provides a fun way to mess around in a major city for a while.

Commento di 108461

Wouldn't the cap be 537 in patch 2.4 if we considered Captain Rumsey's Lager?

Commento di 133997

AS OF TODAY 05/29/08, if your bags are full you lose the charge and get NOTHING. It wasnt changed in the last patch and I am very upset stupidly I didnt check my bags fishing for hours and filling my bags.
Also, I think Blizzard needs to tweek their patches because I have 3 Mr Pinchys, I wait the 2 day cooldown and have gotten the 500 health for 2 hours the last 4 charges. I mean come on. Be creative here Blizzard.

Commento di 49481

i can confirm that as of 6/15/08, you still have to click OK on the BoP dialog when looting mr. pinchy.

unfortunately, i learned this the hard way, and recast before i realized what happened. :(

if you're after this guy, take your time when looting from these schools!

Commento di Hunterios

Whatever you do, make sure you got bagspace free when you click this. I just wasted myself lots of pots or even the pet.. :(

Commento di Allakhazam

There are some special fishing holes only reachable by flying mount in Therrokar where he can be fished up. It took me several days to get one. He has 3 charges and a 2 day cooldown. The first use granted me a "Magical Crawdad Box" that is a crawdad non-combat pet. I will report what else I receive in a few days.

I'm not sure what level fishing the pools are however they arent fishable at 341 however using +52 in equipment and the +75 baubles they are.

Use #2 (update): I waited 2 days and Mr Pinchy gave me a second "Magical Crawdad Box". Drat I was hoping for something else. Of course I'll be back and post what I get for my 3rd use in a few days.

Use #3 (update): The little bugger has forsaken me once agan and granted me another magical crawdad box. Looks like I need to fish him up again.

Finally got one at 373 fishing +122 in Skettis - Blackwind Lake, first use was Furious Mr. Pinchy :(

Commento di Allakhazam

Got him yesterday, after maybe fishing the highland pools for an hour at most. Skill was at 334 + 20pole + Aquadynamic Fish Lure + 2 Glove enchant. Got my Magical Crawdad Box on the first wish ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm quoting this from below because its getting hard to find, thanks Seravais for the info:

Mr. Pinchy is only fished out of Highland Mixed Schools in Terrokar Forest. There are a total of 17 Highland mixed schools in the three Fly-to only lakes in Terrokar Forest. 3 in the lake above Stonebreaker point, 4 that spawn in the lake just above and behind Allerian Stronghold (Lake Ere'Noru), and 10 in Blackwind Lake/Skettis area. Mr. Pinchy's drop rate appears to be about a 0.2% drop rate on successful casts (about 2 out of 1000 or 1 in 500 casts) so be prepared to spend alot of time on this.

You will need 420 fishing to Cast into the Highland Mixed schools, and about 480 to loot without many "Your fish got away!" messages.
You will no longer receive "Your fish got away!" messages if your fishing skill is 525 fishing or higher.

I had the games max limit of 527 Fishing the 3 times that I have caught him.
375 Base Fishing Skill
+40 Arcanite Fishing Pole (I have the High Test Eternium Fishing Line on it so 35+5=40)
+5 Lucky Fishing Hat
+5 Nat Pagle's Extreme Angling Boots
+2 Fishing Skill enchant to gloves
+100 Aquadynamic Fish Attractor

Upon Catching you will get one of the following results (listed in what seems to be the most common results first)

1 - Mr. Pinchy's Gift, contains 4-5 Super Healing, and 4-5 Super Mana potions
2 - Mr. Pinchy's Blessing, 2-hour 1200hp buff that persists through death!
3 - Furious Mr. Pinchy, Lvl 70 non elite that attacks you and your party, is not lootable.
4 - Benevolent Mr. Pinchy, Lvl 70 Guardian that assists you for 10 minutes
5 - Magical Crawdad Box, summons a Magical Crawdad non-combat pet, very rare
considering such a low drop rate on Mr. Pinchy to begin with, and then only 3 chances to get this box. Otherwise, time to try to get Mr. Pinchy again for another 3 chances!

Edit: Got my first Mr. Pinchy today, hoping to see the pet. Used it and got the the guardian. I'm currently fishing with my Seth's Graphite Pole (+20 skill) and Sharp Fishing Hooks (+100 Lure), drunk from time to time on Captain Rumsey's Lager (+10 skill for 3 minutes). I have base skill of 375, so I'm getting 495-505.

Where are thses lakes? Are they all in outlands?

Commento di Allakhazam

After 2 days of fishing and using tons of lures, I set out to the three lakes in Terrokar to find Mr Pinchy.

Aside from the pools having furious crawdads and golden darters ( my guild loves me now for passing out food during boss fights on raids ) I was lucky enough to pull up Mr Pinchy jsut as my last Aquadynamic Fish Attractor was expiring.

First use received the non combat pet. Second use Furious Mr Pinchy came out, and 2 days until the third one.

The non combat oet alone is worth going for this guy, and you could most likely make some decent coin selling the fish used for food as well.

Commento di Allakhazam

Could this guy be a reference to the Simpsons episode with the lobster? It didn't give wishes but it was called Mr. Pinchy...

Commento di Allakhazam

Caught him 4 minutes ago... up in sketis... have 375 fishing plus the 20 from pole and 100 from lure... I've fished lord knows how many damn highland mixed... but the stack of crawdad goes for like 40g on akama... so nice!

Commento di Allakhazam

As I played my huntah, I had skill around 350 and I had hat and the eternium line+35pole so.. buffed up skill roughly 490-500 skill, and didnt get "your fish got away" messages nearly at all, and got Pincy too ( not pet *sob*).

But now as my priest, buffed up 522 skill, I get the message around every 3rd pool of highland mixed.. But looking still forward to get the damn crab..
Edit: actually, I dont get that message anymore.. (or very very rarely)

EDIT: Maybe I shouldnt write this now as I ve been awake way too long and drinked too much coffee.. Hehe, but Im laughing so much for the though that I just had to share it with you right now.
Well, as I fish in skettis place I get often attacked by water elementals and as having all that +fishing gear on me, my +spell damage is just around 400.
Well, having fishing pole as melee weapon dont bother me so much as I cast spells, but think about a rogues.. haha! What they do, they spank 70lvl elementals with a fishing pole.. Basic 17,5dps on Arcanite fishing pole.. plus their +ap which is decreased by using fishing gear, they must enjoy that a lot.

I wish luck all you by trying to catch Mr. Pinchy.

Commento di Allakhazam

Mr. Pinchy, in a good mood, will:

1. give you a non-combat pet (as previously mentioned)
2. fight alongside you as Benevolent Mr. Pinchy
3. give you a bunch of pots
4. give you a 1200 health buff that lasts through death.

In a bad mood, he will fight you.

Commento di Allakhazam

just got him 2 days ago in Skettis... Just FYI.. I had the +25 fishing rod, +100 lure and +2 fishing on gloves for a total of 502 fishing when I caught him...

First wish was Magical Crawdad Box and second wish (today) was another Magical Crawdad Box! So now I have 2 in my inventory... Getting it twice is very possible!
I was suprised when I saw the arcane explosion animation again and received another one... wishing it wasn't BoP so I could sell it lol...

2 more days till my 3rd wish, lets hope I get Mr. Pinchy's Gift :D

Commento di Allakhazam

After hearing about this guy in a fishing guide I set out to get one... The motes of water and other fish in the Mixed Highland Schools make a good source of income or raid handouts. I finally found him after fishing out all the pools once or twice a day until my skill hit 375.

I was so happy... The blue picture popped up and autoloot asked me to confirm the looting of this item... Before I could say YES! my levitate wore off and I fell into the lake cancelling my loot window and setting Mr. Pinchy free. I was very very sad... no Mr. Pinchy for me... I hopped up levitated again and cast another line in the same pool... There he is! Mr. Pinchy is back! Not a particularly interesting story but I guess a pool is "destined" to have a Mr. Pinchy in it when it is born and Mr. Pinchy will stay there until someone grabs him up.

I've only used it once and got Benevolent Mr. Pinchy. He does melee damage in the ballpark of 225 with a good crit rate. He can be buffed and healed. I hope he hands out the Non-combat pet next time cause it is something money can't buy.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got one of these today two casts after hitting 375. I got the buff on my first use, which is nice, but I really want the lobster pet!

It's a very rare catch from certain high level outlands fishing spots. 3 charges, 2 day cooldown, random effect. effects include: temporary combat pet, a non combat pet, +1200 health 2 hour buff (lasts through death), him attacking you, and a box of potions.

Pinchy is from an episode of The Simpsons named "Lisa Gets an "A"". However, Pinchy dies when Homer gives him a hot bath.

Fished this up 2 days ago. First charge was 4x super healing/mana potions. Second charge was this:

Commento di Thottbot

taken from http://www.capsu.org/wow/catching_furious_crawdad.html

There are 17 pools in the set, any of which may spawn. These pools are spread across 3 different lakes, so don't expect to continually fish from one lake.

Each pool will typically respawn 60-65 minutes after it was last fished (emptied). It is very unlikely to respawn in less than 40 minutes, but will sometimes take as long as 90 minutes.

There is a maximum number of pools that will be visible at one time across the set, regardless of time since last catch. This number increases slowly with time when no fishing occurs, up to six. If you fish pools in quick succession the number tends to decline, until you are searching for just one pool.

Commento di Thottbot

Caught with 375 fishing skill, +20 fishing rod, +5 fishing line, and a +100 fishing lure.

I think as long as you can fish out of the pools, he has a shot of showing up.

(Saving the wishes for instances or raids)

EDIT: I fished out another one the evening I fished out my first one. Same pool, about 10-12 hours difference in time. I still have yet to use the wish, but after reading below, it looks like they will share cooldown timers. They are not unique, though, so you can have more than one Mr. Pinchy in your bags.

My Wishes:
1st Mr. Pinchy
- Furious Mr. Pinchy
- Furious Mr. Pinchy (at this point, a Furious Ms. Kairra)
- Mr. Pinchy's Gift (potions)

2nd Mr. Pinchy
- Mr. Pinchy's Blessing (1200hp - NOTE: This was later nerfed to 500hp in a patch) (that stacked with Commanding Shout and Last Stand to give me just over 17000 hp)
- Mr. Pinchy's Blessing
- Benevolent Mr. Pinchy (that I used on Murmur...Mr. Pinchy died after the second blast wave =( )

EDIT #2 - 5/24/07
Fished out my 3rd Mr. Pinchy this morning. I didn't realize it's been 1.7 months since I fished out the prior 2. I was getting lonely without him. =P I'll post my wish results after I use them this weekend.

3rd Mr. Pinchy
- Furious Mr. Pinchy (dammit)
- Benevolent Mr. Pinchy (died on Curator)
- Benevolent Mr. Pinchy (died on the way to Heroic Mech's final boss...and may have bugged out on an intervene)

EDIT #3 - 6/2/07
I fished out Mr. Pinchy #4 less than 2 days after using my 3rd wish on my 3rd Mr. Pinchy, and it remembered the cooldown on it...so I still have 13 hours until I can use Mr. Pinchy #4. Hoping for the pet.../sigh.

4th Mr. Pinchy
- Benevolent Mr. Pinchy (died on 2nd mini-boss before last boss in Arc...killed last boss in great shape...yelled at them for killing Mr. Pinchy! :) )
- Magical Crawdad Carrier! YAY!
- Benevolent Mr. Pinchy

EDIT #4 - 5/21/08
I don't fish as much as I used to, but this popped up last night as I was hitting what pools were visible.

5th Mr. Pinchy
- Magical Crawdad Carrier! Sigh...vendored for 25s.
- Mr. Pinchy's Blessing
- Mr. Pinchy's Blessing

Sucks that they share cooldown. Oh and that 51 day cooldown is just CTmod bugging out, it is really 2 days.

If I dont get the non combat pet in the 5 charges I got - I will cry irl.

Commento di Thottbot

Just started my little Fishing Tour beginning with the two easy Lakes (where not even one highland school was up) and then getting to the really annoying one near skettis, flew into the first school -> two chatches - two Mr. Pinchy! - guess I spent my luck for months ;)
Will save the wishes for next raid - though I can´t wait to try and toss out a cute little pet^^

Btw - Fishing Skill was 375 using +100 bait and +20 fishing pole from shattrath quest for a total of 495
I guess the minimum requirement for the lakes will also suffice to chatch him

my fishing skill was 345 + 100 fishing with a lure + 25 fishing of my fishingpole(fishingpole is from a quest in hinterlands), so was having a totall of 470 fishing when i caught mr.pinchy.
first try i got some mana and health pots.
second try he attacked me.
third try i got the crawdad pet :-)

Commento di Thottbot

I cought the elusive Mr. Pinchy today. I was very excited to tell my guild and linked it considering it was only something i read about everyone else getting and how it was uber rare to get. Well after the excitement i ran over to a 2nd Highland Mixed node only to find my 2nd cast in that one was yet ANOTHER Mr. Pinchy. The first time i got him i asked my guildies if they wanted to come start fishin w/me, the 2nd Mr. Pinchy pissed off a few and another few decided to level their fishing and come w/me lol.

I was using a +100 lure, seths graphite pole (+20 fishing) w/a base skill of 375 fishing. Total skill at 495. I have a nice time catching all the crawdads and darters which i use my 375 cooking to make all kinds of food and sell on the AH.

I think i've fished and made about 8-10 stacks of spicy crawdad and about 4-5 stacks of fish sticks. I may not have a screenshot to prove this funny story, but i do have alot of upset/pissed/motivated guildies :D. Hope you all have the good luck i did in fishing 2 of them within 30 sec of each other :D.

*Edit* Ok the next day i went fishing again, and i got yet another mr. pinchy lol. The drop rate cant be that low as i hear now. lol i own 3 of 'em. They all share the same 2 day CD. The first wish i got was +500hp (i dunno where people get 1200 from) buff that lasts 2 hours, 2nd wish i got was benevolent mr pinchy. I hope with 9 total wishes i get the pet... I'll post the results of all of em after the 18 days i've now started to wait for all my wishes.

Commento di Thottbot

i just caught this on Mazrigos (orc Shammy ) Sofar ive got his blessing which has been nerfed to 500 hp. I think this may be a mazrigos first catch as i linked and everyone was like WTF

Commento di Thottbot

Got mine the other day. Was so stunned it took me about 20 seconds of staring at it before I finally looted. Had 375 skill, 20+ pole and 100+ lure. Got the pet on the third wish! 1st was the pots then 2nd was blessing. Damn heart attack!

Anyway, I know a lot of people think that this is a reference to Homer Simpson's Mr. Pincy, however, after watching an episode of Johnny Bravo I think the reference is only in name.

Johnny Bravo episode called Claws.
At the start, a fish monger gets a batch of lobsters to sell, however one is intent on escaping. After being threatened by the monger the lobster exclaims "You gotta catch me first!"
Then Johnny turns up wanting 'Fishticks' (made from Golden Darters also caught in Terokkar). The monger, wanting rid of this rogue lobster gives it to Johnny for free.
When trying to throw the lobster into boiling water it resists saying to Johnny that he would give him 3 wishes if he didn't kill him. Throughout the rest of the episode Johnny and the lobster continue to fight. At one point Johnny is lying at the bottom of the stairs and when he sees the lobster about to throw a wardrobe (yes suspend your disbelief!) at him he says "This is gonna pinch!"
Funny episode actually! Brings a smile to my face when I see the Mr. Pinchy references :D

Good luck to all on catching too!

Got 2 of them last night during only 20 minutes fishing in Highland mixed schools in skettis. Fished with 375/375, fishing pole with +20 fishing and the normal 75 bauble = 470 fishing. Usually fishing with the +100 one and i can recommend using that instead.

hunter item!

Commento di Thottbot

When I heard tell of good ol' Mr. Pinchy, I set out to get me one. Sure, my fishing was only 444 (324 + 20 pole + 100 lure), but dammit, I was gonna get me a Magical Crawdad pet. This is Serious Business.

I landed at Lake Ere'Noru. I tossed a line into the first pool I saw. I hauled out Mr. Pinchy. Blink. Blink. Blink.

First wish was a dud. Die, you pinchy bastard. Ditto the second wish. I'd completely forgotten I even had him in my bags and spotted him days later while in the AH. I thought, wth, why not summon yet another attacking crawdad for my amusement?

Flashy explosion. Nada. No Pinchy? Check log. "You create Magical Crawdad Box."

... now if only I could get that &%*&**&% firefly.

Commento di Thottbot

As most of us know, fishing can get extremely boring. Whether you're catching food for cooking or skill-levelling, you inevitably get into a hazy routine of cast, loot, cast, loot, cast, loot...

So I was in such a routine yesterday. Cast, loot, cast, loot, cast, loot.. Suddenly I got Mr. Pinchy: "Looting this item will bind it to you. Okay?" Cast... NOOOOO!

The habitual cast cancelled the loot, so Mr. Pinchy was gone.
So a warning if you're in a cast, loot, cast, loot routine, your mind is wandering and you're not really thinking of the fishing: you may just be robbed of Mr. Pinchy if you don't stay alert.

It kinda sucks that a fished item gives the 'equip=bind' message, as there's no circumstances I can think of where you wouldn't loot.

(skill at the time 370, +100 lure, +2 Fishing gloves, +25 Nat Pagle's rod. Location: Blackwind Lake 67, 79)

I wouldnt normaly post something, but I had to on this one.. I was fishing in Highland Mixed Schools in Terrokar Forest, with my friend.. we were fishing out the Crawdads. Now I REALLY wanted this one.. and he got it.. and he coulda cared less.. I was kinda upset... my Next cast.. about 5 seconds later, I got one myself. Two dropped back to back. not sure of the chances of that.. since we both knew eachother, were fishing together, and were in the same party. I did catch my out of a different pool tho. I was kinda pissed tho when i used it, and my Inv was full. But then he just mail'd me my gay potions. Im going for the pet so wish me luck! i'll kill myfriend if he gets it! :P Good luck!

For the first time I got to start fishing to Mr Pinchy, and about the 3rd hour I got him!. Was fishing with 342Base skill when I started +25skill pole +100fishing lure for 467 total. I figured I could level my fishing while I had a long-shot chance of catching him, and was at 351base skill by the time I caught him.

1st wish - Magical Crawdad!

2 Notes - this is during 2.4 patch, and I did not see a "would you like to equip" option, I simply caught him and he went into my bag, so no more worries as to accidentally re-fishing and failing to pick him up.

2nd Note - Mr Pinchy now says "1 charge," which is strange because I thought I get 3 charges, and yet I only used one...

Commento di Thottbot

noob question: do i need to have a maxed out fishing lvl to even have a chance at Mr. Pinchy?

Commento di Thottbot

I caught Mr. Pinchy with 351 fishing skill, +20 Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole and +100 Sharpened Fish Hooks, so no, you don't need maxed out skill to catch him.

Quick update I have yet to see, I got 1 pinchy and used 1 wish, got a second pinchy and then had 2 in my inventory. It showed 3 wishes and 2 on the other one. When I used the 2nd wish it also ticked off one of the 3 on the other one. So if you have 2 or more, stick the others in the bank and pull 1 out when you burn through the 3 wishes. My pet dropped on the 4th wish.
So if you have more than 1 Mr. Pinchy in your bags and use it, you will lose 1 wish off of all of them.

4th pool, the day after I dinged 70 and got flying.

Commento di Xunatoo

Can confirm that as of 6/22/2021, Mr. Pinchy is live in TBC Classic. I fished him up and actually got the mini-pet on my first use! I'm kinda scared to see what the next uses will be like honestly lol.

Commento di Hallheal

Caught him today after many pools. First wish gave me Benevolent Mr. Pinchy. 2 day cd on next wish. Here's hoping! Fishing skill was 495, 375 +20 pole+100 Sharpened fishing hook. Was still getting "fish got away" at this level.

Commento di Mercier91

just looted on NA Faerlina @ 06:30 AM @ 60.49 coords, 1st wish gave me

375 fishing, +100 lure, +28 rod/line

- Padré

Commento di Vidya

When fished on the official BC Classic servers, the game will make you accept or decline (BoP). Take a second before re-casting your fishing line every time you loot if you're hoping to get one of these, otherwise you may miss out. Good luck!

14/08/21 wow classic tbc patch 2.5.1

I'm fishing this one for 3 days for 6+ hours.
Loot confirmation was not required (possibly with my addons Leatrix + Speedy autoloot).
I dont sell any fishes and i'm got about:
Furious Crawdad x720
Golden Darter x200
Goldenscale Vendorfish x15
Skill 375+105. About 15% «fish got away»
Also 100-140 Mote of Water, 20-50 Inscribed Scrollcase
Totally, i have 1200 tryes. Its 0,0008% drop chance for me.
It's 250-400 full Highland Mixed schools.
In my experience, spawn randomly and no more than 3 schools at a time.
First use give me buff :(

Commento di Cyprus69

Today was the day I got my Mr. Pinchy and my pet Magical Crawdad!

Caught mine at Lake Jorune, Cords 48,40

Any questions feel free to ask. This took me 1400+ cast to get one, good luck and don't give up!

Commento di poisednoise

I can confirm that in TBC classic the health buff Mr Pinchy bestows is the nerfed 500Hp. But that doesn't matter, because I got the pet on my second wish. Huzzah!

375 + Arcanite Pole, STV Fishing Hat, Fishing Boots, Eternium Line, Sharpened Fishing Hook = 525 - no lost fish.

Commento di Roshkahl

I'm on my 5th Mr. Pinchy and have used 14 wishes thus far with no companion. The RNG for this is brutal for most.

Commento di Mcgoobster

I got Mr. Pinchy after a few sessions of fishing and the companion on the first use!

Commento di VzDub

After deleting my first Mr.Pinchy, auto casting over my 2nd, I caught my 3rd at the exact same school in the exact same spot.

47.41 above Stonebreaker Hold.

*Edit* Got the Magical Crawdad on the first wish :D

Commento di LATraffic

10/11/12 Caught Mr. Pinchy for the first time. Used and I casted an arcane explosion and nothing else occurred. Sadge

Commento di Scarces

Caught Mr. Pinchy in Blackwind Lake (68,74) after catching ~650 Furious Crawdad over the course a week (which is worth almost 400g on my server)
1st of 3 casts was Benevolent Mr. Pinch aka guardian that follows around until dead or you fly away/hearth.

Fishing skill is 375 + arcanite rod + fishing boots + truesilver line + lure (just over 500)

These are the various options:
Mr. Pinchy's Blessing (flask)
Summon Furious Mr. Pinchy (enemy)
Magical Crawdad Box (Rare pet)
Mr. Pinchy's Gift (potions)
Benevolent Mr. Pinchy (guardian)

Commento di Amandur

Normally 500 is required for those zones to avoid fish got away prompt. I'm guessing it's the same for this one as well.

Commento di Backflip

Got my first one after about 2.5k casts.
Wishes were Buff, Furious, potions.
2nd catch after about 200 more!
Wishes were potions, and two Benevolents...

On my first catch I didn't have my hunter pet summoned, so I thought that was a factor.
But, on my 2nd catch I did.
So if you're a frustrated hunter who may have thought this, don't worry; it doesn't matter.

Hold on, I think some pools may have spawned >.>

Commento di slappylives

Took about 1,000 catches in highland schools to get Pinchy. First wish was a furious busta
