I found it very usefull to fish for this as I went along on my daily quests in Outland, everytime I did my bombing quest in Terokkar for the Sha'tari Skyguard I fished all highland mixed pools around the area.
To my supprise one morning I fished up Mr. Pinchy (And having heard stories of people not getting the Magical crawdad until their 4th of 5th Mr. Pinchy catch) I didn't really expect to get it... But it droped on my first wish! :D
This is probably (in my book)one of the most luck based companion pets to get hold of.
Good luck!

I have the magical crawdad box, I remember on the beta I looked in the achievements looking for some quirky and funny things to do, and I stumbled across the Mr Pinchy achievement, and I had not achieved it...
And needless to say this is bugging me, perhaps its not retroactive? which I find hard to believe considering they should be able to tell you've fished it by seeing the box in your inventory.
I would LOVE, if someone could clarify if this is a retroactive achievement or not.

I may have got this all wrong, but Mr Pinchy, once fished up, grants you 3 wishes. These wishes have 5 different outcomes.
One
of these outcomes is the Magical Crawdad box.
So even if you manage to fish up the extremely rare (0.2%) Mr Pinchy, there is still a 80% (or more according to some people who claim the pet wish to be the rarest) risk for every wish you will end up with one of the things you don't want. Top that up with the three charges having a 2-day cooldown and you may start to see how brutal this achievement really is.
So, to sum things up: you can't just fish up Mr Pinchy, you also have to be lucky enough to get the pet, which could take up to 4 days with one Mr Pinchy. At least I would not very gladly spend these 4 days fishing for a second Mr Pinchy since 1) it's very tiresome, 2) you don't know if the current Mr Pinchy will give you the pet and 3) every Mr Pinchy shares cooldown with each other.
Now like I said I'm not sure if any of the things stated by me are wrong or if they've changed how Mr Pinchy works in a recent patch -- but this achievement seems way too time-consuming and craving. Just keep in mind when you fish for Mr Pinchy, that it's not the actual catch that matters.

Yea, if you don't have this pet already, you're going to be miserable (like the sad sack who decided this was needed for the Salty tite) fishing this little bas#$%# up. Spent 2 days fishing and have 20+ stacks of crawfish. This might be the achievement that breaks my will for the title.

Can be fished from
Highland Mixed Schools
.
These schools can be found throughout the high areas (
require flight mounts
) of
Terrokar Forest
.
There's a
0.2% chance
to get
Mr Pinchy
.
Mr. Pinchy has a
2 day cooldown
for each of his
3 wishes
that he provides.
You will only have about a
8% chance per wish
to get the
Magical Crawdad
pet.
Mr. Pinchy is
not unique
.
Good Luck!

Grinding whelps and fishing for for hours on end... extremely boring.
Turning WoW into a weird Pokemon type collecting game... somewhat disturbing.
Getting to 50 pets prior to WotLK... mildly impressive.
Mr. Pinchy randomly dropping your
50th pet
while you grind said whelps... priceless.

wow i dont believe it, i spent ages pre-wrath trying to get him ( well not as long as some ppl ), then i left it for a fair while, after handing in a fishing daily, the crocolisk one ( trying to get pet ) i decided what the hell ill go fish a couple of nodes. i cast once and i got it i couldn't believe my eyes ( being 4am took a little while to sink in lol ) very first cast NO WAY. then i used the first wish and got the pet first go! i really count my self lucky as one of my friends has got mr pinchy twice only to miss out on the pet each time.

Don't know about an improved drop rate. I've had one of these drop for me pre expansion and one post. Both took about the same amount of casts, which added up to about 300 for each I would say....maybe that is just me being lucky.
But literally got the one post patch and clicked it and yet again no pet for me. Luckily there are two more charges and hopefully one of these will include the pet so I do not have to continue fishing this area further.

I too think they made this easier..It used to be a .2% chance to drop Mr. Pincy alone in the Mixed schools. After about 130~ catches, I caught mine. The very first use, I got the Crawdad Box.

I cast about 100 times before i got mine
. Unfortunetly i was not expecting the "loot will bind" window and cast again out of habbit.DOHH!. Cast about the same amount the next day and finally got 1....and then another 5 minutes larter XD
Just be prepaired to click the ok button.
Hope this helps. Happy fishing!

I was just doing some reading on how to get this and preparing to go farm it. My friend asked what i was doing and told him i was going to go try for it after i finished reading.
He decided that's what he wanted to do too and while i was still reading on the drop rates and stuff he whispers me saying that he got it on his second cast and it gave this pet as the first wish. I am outraged.
But nonetheless...
This may be more evidence to support a higher drop chance.

As of patch 3.0.8 you can't use the Crocolisk quest trick to make fishing up Mr. Pinchy or Ol Crafty any easier.

Dunno if they made it easier to get mr pinchy but i tried to catch him for the first time yesterday and got him on my 5th catch. Got him at the lake at Skettis. Also got the pet on the first wish.

Am I doing something wrong? I've had over 1200 catches and still no pinchy. My fishing is always at least @ 560 so none get away. I'm going crazy trying to catch this thing!
Update: Finally caught him last night. took about 2000 catches total. got the pet on the first wish... thank god. So he is out there but it could take a long time to get him

They really must have changed the drop rates on Mr. Pinchy. I'd tried before, off and on, with no luck. But a few nights ago, I packed up my fishing pole and went to Terokkar for old times' sake. I wasn't expecting much, based on the luck I usually have. But, after a couple hours, lo and behold I had myself a Mr Pinchy. I'd say I cleaned out every Highland Mixed Pool in the area several times, with several full stacks of furious crawdads, another of golden darter, an inscribed scrollcase, and a bunch of curious crates for my troubles.
My first Mr Pinchy wish was his gift: potions. Figuring that as long as I was at it, a spare Mr Pinchy would increase my chances overall, I went back to fishing, and lo and behold, another Mr. Pinchy dropped after an hour or so.
My second wish, today, gave me the pet and the achievement. I'll have to save the other four wishes I have stored up and see what they get me... I'll be sure to do them in crowded areas in case a giant angry crawdad attacks.

Today I got my Mr. Pinchy after fishing 6 stacks of normal crabs.
Two nice facts you might want to know:
- Even though Mr. Pinchy is soulbound to me there didn't appear a "loot will bind" window as mentioned above. So you can easily Shift-loot all the time without beeing nervous :)
- I just had 1 free slot in my inventory so after getting Mr. Pinchy there was no more space. I was so excited that I immediately clicked Mr. Pinchy... I got the message "inventory is full" and Mr. Pinchy's first wish was gone. So I went to the next postbox to send all the fish to my alt and surprisingly I got a message from Mr. Pinchy which said something like "Mr. Pinchy made you a present and you threw it away? No, you HAVE to take it! But don't think Mr. Pinchy didn't remark that. He will take revenge when you don't suppose it!" The pet was attached. So I got the achievement. =D
BTW I also think it is pretty easy to catch him now. In BC I fished a LOT of crabs without getting a Mr. Pinchy.

Fished a HIghland Mixed School in Lake Ere'Noru, above Allerian Stronghold. On my 3rd cast into the school, I got Mr. Pinchy. On my first wish, I got the pet.
That is the best luck I have had yet. Don't give up!

I started working for a Mr. Pinchy long before WOTLK, never had a single drop. After WOTLK I've been fishing every day all the nodes on my way to Skettis dailies, no luck.
Yesterday evening I started my usual routine and, to my amazement, I caught Mr. Pinchy on the school which spawns almost over Stonebreaker hold.
Having in mind how long it took me to fish one, I was quite skeptic about my chances to get a pet... luckily I was wrong, got the Crawdad box and the Achievement on the 1st try.
Considering how much time it took me to get one, either I am REALLY unlucky (could be) or all those people who got it really fast are really lucky. I don't know if the drop chance has increased, however I noticed that the "lost" catches are almost unexisting now... using the Ka'luak fishing pole with maxed fishing gave me some lost fishes before, but now I get a catch every time!
Now I can just fish for food and not for achieve.... oh wait, now there's the Turtle mount! xD
EDIT: 5 days after, I also got the mount =)

I read that i had to prepare myself for hours of farming for this, this is a screenshot of me, getting mr pinchy on the third throw!
either I'm just extremely lucky, or it has something to do with fishing skill increasing the chance(450+25+75), or the droprate has be buffed.
评论来自

So, the box itself is a random drop? It sounds like I have to have some kind of wish to get the box for a chance at getting the pet. Can someone explain better please? :)
EDIT: Caught it a few days ago after about five to six hours of fishing over the course of three days. Mr. Pinchy showed himself at around 350 casts. I got lucky and got the Magical Crawdad Box on first wish. The second wish was the Benevolent Mr. Pinchy Guardian; and the third wish was his 500 health buff.

First off, let me thank everyone for their observations and information.
Secondly, allow me to join the others in confirmation of the seemingly increased drop rate.
I went to Stonebreaker Hold in Terokkar Forest and caught Mr. Pinchy after less than 10 fishing attempts in the Highland Mixed School. I received the Crawdad Box on my first wish. By sheer coincidence, he was my 15th pet for the Plenty of Pets achievement as well which gave me a warm fuzzy. ;)
I don't know if skill or equipment would help at all, but I got a few junk items while I had a 382 fishing skill, the Kalu'ak fishing pole with a Truesilver line on it, and while using a Sharpened Fish Hook.
Break out your flier and get this achievement done soon!

Thnx for all the comments , but you can NEVER calculate an increase or decrease in droprates judging on the comments posted on wowhead. There's thousands of players farming this pet and the ones posting here are such a small insignificant amount, it means absolutely nothing. Not to mention its more likely players posting here when they got lucky on their catch , instead of being unlucky.
After 2000 casts i got my mr. Pinchy , 1st charge didn't gave me pet.
So for everyone who reads all these comments, thinking 'oh they upped the droprate', just don't ... ignore ... it'll take you weeks maybe or months ... or maybe a day , who knows ... if you keep your hopes up by reading how fast other players have catched it , you might get real depressed after a while. Be ready for a long grind and if you haven't grinded for it long and got it , lucky you!

For me this is one of the average fishing achievements, like Old Crafty etc. It just take patience. I caught my first Mr. Pinchy, after7 stacks of crawdads. I didn't get the achievement after 3 wishes. I caught another Mr. Pinchy, taking about 4 stacks, and received the achievement on the 2nd wish. The crawdad pet is cool. Just take you time, and Mr. Pinchy will soon be your friend. On a side note, I have really enjoyed all the of the fishing achievements. The "Old Salty" title is one you earn.

Went out and farmed the Highland nodes for about 2hrs with 250 fishing skill and +100 fishing buff with +25 pole.
Got absolutely nothing.
Went back to Northrend to skill up and came back awhile later with 385 skill + same buffs. Caught him in 2 nodes.
Seems like unless it was pure luck, that 375 seems to be a number to shoot for as a base fishing skill before trying to catch him.

I was fishing for furious crawdads in Terrokar to level my cooking skill when I fished up Mr. Pinchy's box. I wasn't even aware there was an achievement for it at the time.
It was a nice surprise when my third wish granted me a permanent pinchy.
But yeah, I wasn't fishing in a school at all, I was just casting into the water. I had been fishing for about three hours when he popped up.

i got mr. pinchy after an hour of fishing, what i got is a blue item that says "speak with mr. pinchy and be granted a wish. maybe something good.... maybe something bad.... mr. pinchy does not know!"

i already used one of the wishes and i got a mob that attacked me. what next?

I suspect the drop rate has been increased since last patch. Got this after like 5 schools. I also suspect that the pets from the Outland fishing quests have had their drop rate increased. Have recieved 2 out of 4 pets in just a couple of quests.
Either this or I'm extremely lucky.

For 6 hours on 2/13/2010 i farmed for Mr. Pinchy the horde controlled the Spirit Towers and i must have caught about 550 fish and 320 of which were furious crawdads, but then the spirit towers ran out for the horde and i capped them and 23 minutes after capping the spirit towers i caught Mr. pinchy and got the pet on the 1st wish. I think it has more to do with your fishing skill and whether or not you own the Towers thats also how 9 of my guildies got it.

I tried to catch Old Crafty, over 600+ casts and no luck, over 2200+ casts to get Giant Rat - no luck either. After that I decided to try something else and I caught Mr. Pinchy after 19 casts(!) and he gave me Magical Crawdad in first wish. I emptied only 3 Highland Fixed Schools.
I'll go back to Dalaran Underbelly now, I hope to get Giant Rat soon :(
BTW a tip!: While fishing in Dalaran Underbelly, if you type "I want my Giant Rat!" you will probably get... a Sewer Carp.

Guys please write in simple manner.
Is Mr. Pinchy a NPC who we should talk to first?
What exactly is the WISH?
If I want to take this Achievement should I just go in Terrokar Forest (high lake)? Or I need pre-Q or anything else?
And should I just fish ONLY in SCHOOLS? (e.g Highland Fixed Schools)
Please don't write stories and complicated sentences :(

Dunno about you guys, but I decided to try fishing for Mr. Pinchy today. Ended up fishing in two schools to receive him on my seventh cast. I was pretty skeptical that he would give me the pet, but I got it on my first wish.

I'm very lucky today. I went to the pools of outland, and started fishing. I was mentaly prepared for countless hours of fishing.(It took me over 3k casts for Sea turtle -_-)
Anyway... I came to the pools, and then WTFBUTTER I got the thing on my
3'rd
cast! Omg! I was chocked and begged for the pet to drop when wishing, guess what, it did!
Btw! Just 6 hours before this I got my Green Proto-drake after about 10 eggs! What the hell, my lucky day I guess.

I know you guys likely won't believe me, and honestly I don't care that you do, or don't.
I just wanted to say that it is entirely possible to both get Mr. Pinchy on your first cast, and his pet with your first wish... it just happened to me.
What will really tick you all off is, I wasn't even trying to get him, instead I was working on fishing all the pools in Outland for that achievement.
I was around 58.59
Keep hope alive, you will get him eventually!

I got this about a week ago. Took me around 2 days to get. First thing I got from it was the
Magical Crawdad
Second thing I got was
Mr. Pinchy's Gift
,then
Benevolent Mr. Pinchy
This has a 2 day cooldown
.
It's only fishable from pools in
Terokkar Forest.
I recommend fishing in the areas such as
Skettis
and the waters
AROUND Allerian Stronghold
. Since that is where most pools spawn. :D
Have fun and good luck! :)
Ohh, and while you're at it.. if you wanna try to get a cute pet while you're in Terokkar, you can try doing the fishing daily.
Just go
north of Cenarion Thicket
and you'll find a lake, get the daily from the NPC
Old Man Barlo
. To achieve the pet it has to be the
Crocolisks in the City
daily quest. If it is, take it and fish in
Stormwind
. Do the quest and pray one of the cute crocs drop from the bag of fishing treasures he awards you with. AND, you can also get
the ability to find fish
! Which can make getting Mr. Pinchy easier and faster! :p
ANYWAYS! Hope I helped someone because I never knew any of this when I tried to get Mr. Pinchy. :)

I have just caught this in my first attempt. I went to Blackwind Lake in TF and started fishing Highland Mixed Schools, about 10th cast I got Mr Pinchy and with my first wish got my companion - thought it would take a lot longer.

Been fishing up more than 70 nodes up now, and still no Mr Pinchy, so about the change in drop rate is false.
It's all about luck. Been wasting too much time fishing for him now, that I just dont wanna stop.

Confirmed as of Patch 3.3.4 that no matter how many times you've tried, he's still out there guys. Hang in there.
Using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole and the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat at all times, I leveled my fishing from 426 to 449 fishing for this sucker. Can't tell you how many complaints I've heard from the Furious Crawdad community now that I've drastically reduced their population.
Finally caught Mr. Pinchy off of the middle isle in Skettis, where Terrok is summoned. He rewarded the pet on the first try. Wish I could throw him back in and give the next person a slightly better chance. ;)
Best of luck to all you anglers still going out for this achievement. He's not a very cooperative crustacean, but it's still one step closer to being Salty.

Ill be yet another one everybody hates.. Caught Mr. Pinchy on my 5th pool this morning.. Tried 4 pools in Blackwind Lake before moving to Lake Ere'Noru?.. 1st pool 3rd cast.. The pool was still active and while I was standing there admiring my catch a lvl 80 Tauren Hunter started fishing it.. I laughed a little inside.. :D
Btw.. First wish got me the pet! Next stop, Old Crafty! 3 hours and several deaths the first time with nothing to show for it.. You will be mine this time

I tried with my priest about two months ago. Fished all the places for hours and days and never saw Mr. Pinchy once.
Tried today with my druid and second cast with first wish being granted.
And I look and see someone did the same thing 3 days ago...hmmmm.

I was extremely lucky getting this achievement, I got it without even going for it.
I went up to Skettis to fish for a Enormous Barbed Gill Trout, sat myself next to a Highland Mixed School and started fishing.
10 throws later, on my second school, I got Mr. Pinchy and on the very first wish I got the pet and the achievement. Probably my first experience of dumb luck in WoW, after 4 and a half years of playing the game.
However, I didn't get an Enormous Barbed Gill Trout, funny that...

These are all stories of how this was caught or absurd theories on increasing likelihood of completion. Nothing you do other than fishing pools x number of times will get you this achievement. Luck has EVERYTHING to do with this.
On that note, while fishing for this achievement I did notice one simple thing about fishing in general:
if you mouse wheel your camera view distance all the way in when you are casting you will have a MUCH smaller range of possible cast directions, therefore, limiting your wasted out-of-pool casts.
Happy Hunting.
130 Crawdads
14 Scrolls
8 Miscellaneous fish
The respawn on the pools can be quite long after your initial pass. I find myself flying between the 3 locations (all in the unreachable-by-foot locations) with great frequency. Noone else is out here fishing these atm and still the respawn is quite long. Prepare for a journey and be glad if it is over quickly.

Never had luck when it came to farming pets, but I' ve been fishing this guy for about a week (1 sweep per day, so not many pools at all) and dropped Mr. Pinchy yesterday...got the magical box on the first wish, can one be that lucky, or did the droprate increase since 4.0.1?

I'm not kidding. I've spent about 50 hours of fishing time trying to catch this bugger. For almost 3 years now... I'm starting to think he doesn't exist and that Blizzard made him only to piss me off. It's impossible... Then I know a lot of people that got it on their very first few catches, that didn't even intend to catch him, fair... I hate RNG.

Keep on trying! This was the last, literally last, pet I could farm through any in game method and I've done it off and on for three years now. After reading all these posts tonight (again, hoping vainly the drop rate increased or something silly) I finally got him. My heart skipped a beat. It is not easy when you've got rotten luck but take breaks to stay sane and keep at it. He does exist!

finally got this on Worglenn, Gorgonnash-US after about 5 days farming on and off.
All up I caught over 1200 furious crawdads before it dropped. I now know why they call them "furious" crawdads. lol
Not bad for a week though, got the turtle mount, sewer rat and now mr pinchy , good times

Ok, there were only like 4 people online in my guild when I got this achievement and none were fishermen, so they didn't even understand the 4 years of agony it took to get this guy! I had to share it with you guys!
Funny thing was, after a lot of marathon sessions over the years, hopping from one Highland Mixed School to another, I got
Mr Pinchy
after deciding to pop in on
just one pool
I saw while doing the Shattrath cooking daily (and I was only doing THAT daily cause I was bored!). I saw it, sat down, cast my line and stood there dumbfounded like a slack-jawed yokel looking at my loot window.
On top of that, I got the
Magic Crawdad Box
on the first wish. Man, I am NEVER that lucky and I usually say "yeah, right" when I see some guy say "got him on the 1st (2nd, 3rd, 4th etc) try". The cyber-deities of WoW must have taken mercy on this poor soul, this day!
Good Fishing!
PS- After checking out the other comments from version 4.0.3, this is seeming to become a more and more common event than ever before. Did the drop and wish rate get nerfed? IDK but it's worth a shot to go up there and spend an hour if you are still looking for this one.

Well, unlike some others here with amazing luck, I finally caught 1 Mr. Pinchy finally today !
It took me roughly 1,500 casts to get him, but I did get the pet on 1st try. (thank God, wouldn't want to catch a 2nd one)
Just thought I'd let others wondering like I was if it was broke, it's not :)
Good Luck to ya all !

Alright, so I don't have much new to add, except how long it took to get it, post-Cataclysm. I fished maybe two hours (didn't time it), and during this time, I got (the approximates are because I was working on other fishing achievements so I had a few more from other nodes not working towards Mr. Pinchy.):
Inscribed Scrollcase: x 4
Furious Crawdad: x 52
Goldenscale Vendorfish: x 3
Golden Darter:~ x 11
Barbed Gill Trout:~ x 4
Enormous Barbed Gill Trout: x 1
Spotted Feltail: ~ x 2
Mote of Water: x 3
Curious Crate: x 6
Mr. Pinchy: x 1
..So, with one item per cast, it took ~ 87 casts to get Mr. Pinchy, and then I got the achievement on the first wish. Hope this is helpful to some of you!
Also, I did it in the morning on a med. population server, and had virtually no competition. That probably helped with the speed. Good luck!

I'm not sure if, with Cataclysm, they've improved the drop rate of some of these older achievements or whether I've just been lucky.
I went to get the Delicious Chocolate Cake recipe and got it on my 2nd round of dailies. This evening I went to have a go at getting Mr. Pinchy. Found it on my 3rd pool, and got the pet on my first wish.
Luck or has something changed?

Ok, Folks. I am writing to tell you all that after 2 days and I don't know how many fish or casts...I finally got Mr. Pinchy. I have come to accept that none of the fishing achievements are going to be easy for me. (dunno how some of you are so damn lucky!) I caught him like everyone said, in Blackwind Lake. i fished every pool i could find and yes, there are some long respawn times for the Highland Mixed Pools of fish. Just be patient. I have only used one charge, and got the Benevolent Mr. Pinchy, who wants to attack EVERYTHING. I hope the other charges contain the Box, because i was after the achievement, afterall. Does anyone know what happens if I do not get the Magical box in the other 2 charges? Do I have to fish him again to get more wishes?

Not to make anyone feel bad, but after reading all of your comments I decided to try to catch him... and I did.....in
1
(one) try....! I found 2 Highland Mixed Schools on Lake Ere' Noru, threw in in the first one and bang...there he was.
All the fishing before was just done in pursuit of The Limnologist and the dailies from Old Mr. Barlo, so in effect, yes, several more attempts, but non the less, first throw after reading the comments.
Edit: first whish btw was a furious mr Pinchy.....had to kill him....couldn't help it....instinct.....

First time fishing in Terrokar, what a place to fish, jeez. I was concerned I would have to whip mobs to death with my fishing pole. lol I did almost get trampled twice by a rager elite that was patting through. I was going to give up on the pool of Mixed Highland after he almost got me the second time. Glad I didn't the next cast brought up Pinchy's Magical Box. First wish I got the pet.
Not sure how many casts, don't care. Fished mostly in Mixed Highland pools wherever I found them. Did find one Mixed Brackish. Caught Magical Box in the lake down by Skettis with a Skettis Soulwhatever patting right next to me and one of the Skettis elementals patting right through the pool I was trying to fish.
Caught,
5 weeds
9 Feltail
3 sickly fish
13 Furious Crawdads
2 driftwood
4 Barbed Gill Trout
3 Inscribed scrolls
1 Curious Crate
1 Curious box both with junk
4 Tattered cloth
15 Golden Darters
then the Magical Box
Not much in gear to aid my fishing, strong fishing pole and baubles is about all I have. total +80 at a lvl 300 on my fishing. Matter of fact hit lvl 300 on this trip.
As the saying goes I would rather be lucky than good anytime. =)

Then went over to the Lake by Algerian Stringhold, there was a school on the east side. Second cast BOOM! There it was. Clicked on him for my 1st wish & BOOM! My very own Mr. Pinchy.

Second day fishing. Been hitting all the pools that have spawned because I'm basically the ONLY person out here. I don't know how many items I've fished up, but I know for a fact I've fished atleast 6 stacks of Furious Crawdad's, 20 Inscribed Scrolls, one stack of Off-Hand, 8 Curious Crates, and 2 stacks of Golden Darters. No trash. Maxxed fishing, Weathered Beaten Hat, and the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole and STILL no Mr. Pinchy. Between last night and today I've worked on The Limnologist achievement. Today as been soley trying to get this pet. Be patient and stick with it. If you're a pet and achievement lover like me, I'm sure you won't rest! Will edit as soon as I've finally captured him! Best of luck!

Well, I fished thousands of casts since BC came out, and nothing, so I gave up a couple years ago and never tried during WOTLK, or at least not more than 40 or 50 casts. Then today (well into Cata), I got bored in wow with nothing else to do, so I started to fish for Pinchy again, took me about 200 casts and I finally got him.
First wish i got benevolent pinchy.
I'll update what I get the next four days.

Today I got the pet! 2nd wish. Good luck.

I've been fishing once each day from all Highland Fishing pools for the last 3 or 4 days. I finally caught Mr. Pinchy today and got the achievement from the 1st wish :P
My advice: don't try to get it by fishing during your entire game time. Go once a day and clear all pools. If no drop, come back next day. It's much easier to cope with this strategy.

Those of you who continue to post your accomplishment of getting this achievement or lack thereof: please discontinue!
The comments section for this achievement are meant to help other individuals to reach their goal of obtaining this achievement. Learning that you got it so and so on such and such with this many or that many casts is irrelevant to the majority of readers and clutters a page that should be clear and concise to read.

Just made my second wish. First one produced the Magic Crawdad pet, so I was all pumped, waiting 2 days just for this moment...when a Furious Mr. Pinchy appeared out of the ether and assulted me! I was forced to serve up a beatdown with my beloved Tiffany Cartier original Jeweled Fishing Pole and an Earth Shock. Needless to say, I'm somewhat less pumped about wish #3

The drop rate for Mr. Pinchy must have changed. Several years ago on my rogue I had to fish up Mr. Pinchy twice, each time with over 500 casts, to get the pet. I headed over there on my priest a few days ago and fished up Mr. Pinchy within the first five pools. I clicked on Mr. Pinchy and got the pet first "wish." Then I went back on my warlock yesterday, and again got Mr. Pinchy within the first 5 pools of fish, and again got the pet on my first "wish."

I got him today in Terokkar Forest at Veil Ala' rak. Unlike my other fishing ventures I didn't have to try long. Caught him on third cast and got the box on first wish. However, I'm still trying to get the stinking sea turtle mount.

This is a very frustrating achievement nowadays. The fish are useless, the drops are still low. I do not know where those people get their numbers from but I've been there twice for several hours filling my bags with fish and it hasn't dropped yet.
This is an achievement to do at 70 when the fish were valuable and it wouldn't matter if you failed. You'd still get gold and/or bufs.
edit: And the spawn rate of pools is still low, at 'end game' levels.

Well its my 4th day. i did more than 600 casts. "Still" got nothing. i got 525 Skill and using Lava lure which is giving me 150 extra skill. its totally luck.
Do not give hopes to anyone. it may take 5 casts or maybe 500 casts.
Edit:
After more than 650 casts, i got him. i did more than 200 today. Also i wasn't using any lure at this time.
Nothing more than luck. Seriously.

After FOUR YEARS of fishing up Mr. Pinchy and never getting his Magical Crawdad Box, I finally got it today. So yes, it still works after 4.3, same as ever; fish in the Highland Mixed Schools in the elevated lakes of Terokkar, cross your fingers, and hope the RNG likes you.

I'm just gonna share my story about this achievement here for everyone. Maybe it will bring good luck! So yesterday, I fished up one of the required fish for the one that didn't get away achievement while at the darkmoon faire. I decided to open up my achievements page and then noticed
钳子先生的魔法龙虾盒
was the only one I was missing for Salty title. So today I decided to go up to skettis and try my luck. Well, on my first cast into a pool,
钳子先生
drops! So I went ahead and used him, and on the first use,
魔法龙虾盒
pops into my inventory! Best luck I've had with fishing yet ^_^ Good luck to anyone hoping to get this achievement, may your first cast bring you Mr. Pinchy!

Arrived today for the sole purpose of getting this
achievement
. Hit Blackwind Lake, first pool, cast 4 times, and I got
Mr. Pinchy
. Clicked for my wish, got the
Magical Crawdad Box
. Luckiest fishing day, ever. It took me 2 hours of continuous fishing in Howling Fjord to catch a Dark Herring for the
One That Didn't Get Away
Achievement, maybe the WoW gods were feeling sorry for me and gave me an easy one. I should also mention I used no lure at all and have

Approximately 55 casts and I found Mr. Pinchy. My first wish got me my Magical Crawdad pet!
Tip: If Blackwind Lake seems to be empty of Highland Mixed School's, try searching Lake Ere'noru, and Lake Jorune for more schools.

Got Mr. Pinchy after fishing in Skettis on the second pool of Highland Mixed School 2/14/2012 @3:00 PM on Echo Isles server. I tried yesterday on a few pools. Keep trying and you will get it too. Hopefully I will get the pet and Achievement. I will update if/when I do. 525 skill + Sharpened Fish Hook (100) + Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (25)

Ok so Ive noticed a trend when I have gotten
钳子先生
on each of my accounts, Ive have gotten him after completing the
城中的鳄鱼
quest and successfully getting one of the 4 companion rewards from it. Each time I was able to complete the quest and get one of the companions,
钳子先生
dropped for me.
Once you complete
城中的鳄鱼
you will be rewarded with
钓鱼宝藏
and inside it can contain one of the 4 companions,
莫莫的小桶
,
尼尼的小桶
,
牙牙的小桶
and
毒皮的小桶
.
After that I went and tried to fish up
钳子先生
, and it seems each time as was able to get him.
So I don't know if it was a coincidence or luck but it might be worth a try to see if it works, seems to work pretty good for me, and I now have
钳子先生
on 4 of my characters after finishing the
城中的鳄鱼
quest with a companion reward.

Hey all :) Just wanted to confirm the locations of the Highland Mixed Schools. They seem to be mainly concentrated in the lake just above the Allerian Stronghold and in the lake in the middle of Skettis. Both locations are in Terrokar Forest for anyone that doesnt know, and are located in the south of the area, Happy hunting and goodluck :)

I can confirm that while its a long, slow pain to grind the Highland Mixed School nodes in Terokkar Forest : Blackwind Lake, it does eventually produce Mr. Pinchy. It took me 57 casts in total. Since each pool / node allows 3-4 casts before it goes away, that equals 14-19 nodes fished before it dropped. Side note: as there are only 4-5 pools active at any one time, it took me more than an hour but less than two.

Go to Terokkar Forest and fish out of the Highland Mixed Schools. It's
RNG
, so everyone saying what cast they got it on or how long it took them was either bad or good luck. It might be on your first cast or your 200th that you get Mr. Pinchy. That's the glory of RNG...
Lakes
:
-
Blackwind Lake
(above Allerian Stronghold where you do Sha'tari Skyguard dailies)
-
Lake Ere'Noru
(right next to Allerian Stronghold)
-
Lake Jorune
(northern Terokkar Forest, east of Shattrath City)
Good luck ♥

After winning the Kaluak Tournament, I went to Terrokar to see if Mr. Pinchy would drop. I was fishing pools of Highland Mixed from the island in the middle of the lake. I saw a pool next to an elemental. Figuring that Blizzard would put a wrinkle in my plan, I decided to fish that pool. Voila! I caught Mr. Pinchy!
I asked for the first wish but my bag was full! LOL! At any rate, went back home and check mailbox. There was a nasty letter warning me of Mr. Pinchy's wrath because I discarded a gift. The gift was also in the mailbox; it was the Magical Box. I got my pet and both achieves! It's been two years!

Just thought I'd go for the Salty title since I won the Master Angler in STV a couple of weeks ago.
Read about Mr Pinchy and vaguely remember it from my TBC days on EU server but never got it so figured I would try it.
Flew to Highland Mixed School area just south of Allerian Stronghold.
3rd cast = Mr Pinchy!
First wish = Magical Crawldad!
Usually RNG doesn't like me very much but today it was smiling on me :)

So I got Mr. Pinchy way back in BC, before achievements existed, back when you had to keep companion pets in your bags, so to save bag space I deleted him. Now it doesn't show that I ever caught him. Ok, so I'll fish him up again. I have spent dozens of hours over the past year, and have thousands of Furious Crawdads and Golden Darters, among others, and have yet to fish up the box. My question is, is it possible that I have some kind of bug preventing me from fishing it up since I already have a long time ago? I want my Salty title!

You get this achievement from fishing up and using Mr pinchy who has a chance to grant you this magical crawdad box( which gives a companion pet) . He's fished from Highland Mixed Schools that spawn in Terokkar forest. They spawn around allerian stronghold, but my favorite place was skettis. The respawn rate was comfortable so that i could just fly around the little pond there and fish from the pools. You can get more than one mr pinchy as the item is not unique, but you only have one shared cooldown.
I have auto loot on and i got no " picking up this item will bind it to you" or such nonsense, so no worries! You're not going to lose your lil mr.pinchy by not being alert.

This took a while for me. I'm not sure how many schools I went thru but probably a dozen. I made sure to use a lure to each Highland Mixed School when casting. Using something that increases Fishing by 75 or 100 are the best choices. Since I've been reading about how well people have been fishing in Blackwind Lake, that's where I went. I got Mr. Pinchy by standing east of the island on Blackwind Lake at coordinates: (
68.42 - 77.21
). I hope this helps.

Does anyone know if you already have the Magical Crawdad as a pet - if you can still get this achievement? I had a friend who had an extra Crawdad and she gave it to me. Been farming for 1/2hr to 1hr and nothing but "Furious Crawdads" and a few random fish.

Just logging in to confirm, Mr. Pinchy no longer makes the bind on pickup confirmation pop up. I spent almost exactly 4 mins fishing before he was autolooted to me, recieved the Magical Crawdad box upon first wish.
I should also mention, I did grind this a few random points since Wrath, this is my first attempt post-MoP release so it certainly feels like they made it easier, but of course that could just be my luck catching up. Good luck.

I just got this while fishing for the Outland Angler achievement. It took me only about 6 casts to get Mr. Pinchy, then I used it and got the pet. When it comes to mount drops, rare spawns, even rolling on gear my luck is horrible. But when it comes to fishing I have amazing luck. Took me like 500 casts to get the Sea Turtle mount. I dont know if this is a good or bad thing.

I'm sure you guys are going to hate me for this but I just did this achievement for 20 minutes up in Skettis in Terrokar Forest and fished up Mr. Pinchy. The first wish I made I received the pet the achievement asks for, so it is possible that your luck will get you the pet immediately or later on if you have to fish again if he doesn't give you the crawdad in the first 3 wishes.

I may have just gotten extremely lucky, but while I was in Skettis doing the cooking daily getting the Giant Kalari Wing, I decided to drop a cast in the Highland Mixed pool right next to the bird's corpse.

Droprate verry high you will get it 3the 4the puddle. Pay attention that if you afk fishing you don't
get a achievement for actually catching it. Got the pet on first try so guess they have changed

Alright, I'll breakdown my experience AND include where I was fishing, seeing as that seems to be left out a lot.
While most comments will just tell you that you can fish up Mr. Pinchy in the Highland Mixed Schools in Terrokkar Forest, what they're leaving out (at least in my experience) is those pools are really only found in one area: Blackwind Lake in Skettis.
I flew back over the other pools in TF a few times and never saw a single pool that wasn't specific to one type of fish. However, in Blackwind Lake, the Highland Mixed Schools spawned over and over.
At one point, an Ally (I'm horde, obvs) was fishing the pools right next to me. We both spent about 15 minutes grabbing pools next to one another before they flew away.
Now, lucky for me, it didn't take me too horribly long.
53 minutes, 26 pools and 117 casts. Prior to finally getting Mr. Pinchy, I caught:
Inscribed Scroll Case x5
Furious Crawdad x67
Golden Darter x26
Curious Crate x4
Huge Spotted Feltail x3
Mote of Water x8
Enormous Barbed Gill Trout x1
When I finally got him, I got the pet and achievement on the first charge.
Disclaimer:
My experience is not typical or even the average experience of those fishing up Mr. Pinchy. I simply shared for those that like to read through other people's experiences in farming this pet/achievement.

Patch 5.4
Skettis - Blackwind lake ONLY
Spawn Time of the Highland Mixed School of fish pools is very quick! Two of us were farming and I couldn't keep up with the pools.
Here's my data:
110x Furious Crawdad
43x Golden Darter
16x Motes of Water
9x Inscribed Scrolls
8x Barbed Gill Trout
5x Spotted Feltail
3x Huge Spotted Feltail
3x Enormous Barbed Gill Trout
2x Goldenscale Vendorfish
1x MR. PINCHY
199 casts and about 1.5hours
My guess is I'm one of the lucky ones to get it this quickly.

Everyone seems to be posting about they got the achievement on their first or second or third charge, etc...
I just caught Mr. Pinchy after around 500 successful casts. I used my first charge and just got a Furious Mr. Pinchy NPC that popped up in front of me.
Has anyone actually had to catch a SECOND one of these bad dudes? I'm seeing so many "omg first wish" posts that I'm worried what will happen if I get to the third charge and still no achievement.
Update: Received the pet on the second charge this morning. I'm wondering if it's guaranteed within the 3 charges now.

I was fishing from the pools at the big lake for 90 minutes, averaging 50 casts per 20 minutes. Decided to go to the lake near Alliance city, and got it in the 3rd pool. Total casts 238. This may be a coincidence, but it seems quite many report to have gotten the right catch at the two smaller lakes. The item appears in your bag once you catch it, and achievement is gained after clicking on the item in your bag. Good luck everyone!

Finally caught Mr. Pinchy after 3 hours of fishing in the Blackwind Lake in Skettis.
For those who think they can "speak to" Mr. Pinchy, I have to tell you that you cannot (or at least not talk to him and have him respond =) ). When you "ask" him to grant a wish, you do so by clicking on his icon in your inventory. Just FYI, so you don't spend several panicked moments trying to get him to grant your wish for a Magical Crawdad... did I do that? maybe...

My Experience:
In
Terokkar Forest
was trying to experience this my self as I need this achievement and pet too.
So fishing in different Schools in the Forest gave me no credit (I am using an Addon) and it didn't count the numbers of attempts of fishing until I reached
Lake Ere'Noru
to get
Mr Pinchy
which is the item we are trying to fish. This is a level 55 item that has (3) Charges each charge has a (4) Hr Cool Down. Basically what you need to do when you get it right click in your bag and try your chance for
Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box
which is obviously the required achievement. This Achievement is a part of
Accomplished Angler
which upon completion will reward your with
Salty
.
If you are lucky you will get your
Magical Crawdad Box
which contains the Cute Rare
Magical Crawdad
Pet.
"Only magical whishes make magical crawdads. If you wish for a fish, fish for a wish"
. You can put this pet in cage and either gift it to a friend or sell it on AH for some good amount of Gold if you like.
I got mine from using the first charge of my first drop in about 20 minutes. couldn't really check the drop rate in different spots as I got it from the first {True} -if I may say- spot which is located almost South east to
Allarian Stronghold
the location of the lake I have mentioned above. Look for
Highland Mixed School
and Happy Fishing.
I did this today around 1:30 am Server time.
Good Luck !

I probably spent about 40mins on and off fishing for this, purposely, (I have fished in Highland Mixed Schools plenty of other times for other things). And i had no luck.
I stopped WoWing due to IRL for about 6-7 months and came back today on a 7 day Free Game Time.
I logged onto my main who was still by the Fish Schools and thought i'd do some fishing whilst i sort out addons and check everything before logging on other toons.
I just had this, this feeling that this 10-20minutes or so could be the difference between getting the Achiev/Pet and spending countless hours trying to in the future.
I probably cast my rod about 16times more or less, and then out of nowhere. BOOM. Mr Pinchy was in my inventory.
Spoke with him and got the achievement!
Felt great. Nothing like coming back for 7 days and fishing up one of the rare sought after Fishing Achievs in the first 10-20minutes.
Just felt like sharing my story. Made my day.
Good luck to everyone else! My advice, if you see the school to fish in, do it! You never know!

As of WoD it seems like a Skettis is pretty much deserted, which leaves a lot of pools open for business. :)
Maybe it was a lucky break on my part, but I think I'm not howling off the wrong mountain.
Anyway, a lot of pools are up at the same time, it seems, so it looks like you can just fly around in a circle there, until you get it. It took me about 10 minutes to get Mr Pinchy so I hope you won't fiddle with it for too long!
Best of luck! :)

Hello fellow fishers!
I had some free time tonight, so I decided to fish up this little guy.
I fished in Terokkar Forest at Blackwind Lake (63.4, 75.8). I began at 2:21 am CST and caught him at 3:30 am CST. I was not expecting it to be as quick as it was, but I am so happy to check another achievement off the list. I was also able to acquire the Magical Crawdad Box on the first wish.
I was at 800 fishing and used the underlight angler artifact pole. I just kept fishing in the Highland Mixed schools that spawn in a circle around the lake.
Hope any of this helps!
Happy fishing!
PS: Apparently, you cannot name the magical crawdad Mr Pinchy because it "contains mature language." Alright Blizzard, you can name the achievement that, but I can't name the pet after it....

I think there is a secret behind this fish. And this secret was never found nor reverse engineered. Some people unlocked somehow without knowing because the game does not no notify you, according to my theory.
I don’t buy the “RNG Theory”.

1 Golden Darter
1 Furious Crawdad

Also he granted me the box at first try.
Unbelievable,,

I spent more time trying to fish this up during TBC and Wrath that I would like to admit. Took and break from the game and then got it after about 10 minutes during BFA and got the pet on the first wish. Undeniable proof that you can only get something if you don't want it.

caught Mr. Pinchy earlier today, got the Magical Crawdad Box (and achievement) on the 2nd 'speak with Mr. Pinchy', but was wondering if I can or cannot catch Mr. Pinchy again on this toon...once I have the achievement that is.

Spent roughly 3 hours fishing for this guy earlier today (patch 8.2.5), here's the fish I've caught before finally getting Mr. Pinchy:
316 x
Furious Crawdad
95 x
Golden Darter
10 x
Enormous Barbed Gill Trout
6 x
Huge Spotted Feltail
3 x
Goldenscale Vendorfish
1 x
Mr. Pinchy
That's just fish above, there was a number of
Inscribed Scrollcase
(~25 pieces) as well as
Curious Crate
(9 pieces) and
Mote of Water
(36 pieces, but caught in batches of 2-3 per line)
On the other hand, received the pet on 1st try :)
Good luck everyone! Don't give up!

Ended up fishing two of these. Clicked the first time and got the health potions. Waited for the 4 hr cooldown and got the pet second try. I still have both of these saved in my bank. Can confirm you can have more than one in your inventory at the same time, but they all work off the same cooldown.

Cooldown for his three wishes is now 4 hours and if you have more than one in your bag they share the same cooldown.

Dunno if they nerfed the % of this but I remember farming this for a WHILE. This week during Shadowlands prepatch, I farmed for maybe 100 casts, got Mr. Pinchy, no luck on first cast so I waited the 4 hours cooldown and got it on the next.
Maybe I got lucky but I don’t seem to be the only one with fewer casts nowadays!

It took me near 500 cast, and luckily I got the pet on first wish, all the best luck for those outthere still fishing for this,
I wish I have any tips to share but unfortunately there is none, just keep fishing highland mixed schools and chill...
On the brightside right now (shadowlands expansion) there is noone fishing this guy so you have all the fish nodes to yourself and wont need to look far

after reading the top comment I was very discouraged, 0.2% seems abysmal so I did not ever bother trying to get this achievement until last night, but I decided to look through the other comments, and noticed a significant amount of comments saying how they got it very quickly starting around patch 6.0.
So this morning, I decided to get to work, I didn't bring any special fishing increases, and my outland fishing is maxed. I got my first mr pinchy in 30 casts. and then got the pet on the first wish. I was like wow that's really lucky. Or is it?
I decided to test a theory that the drop rate had been improved in WoD; I logged onto an alt to do it again. this alt also had max outland fishing, and caught mr pinchy in 47 casts. Did not get the pet first or second wish, 3rd is still on CD and honestly idc about it lol.
So I went at it again, 3rd character, and caught the mr pinchy in 162 casts. I got another crawdad on the first wish.
Either I'm incredibly lucky with fishing because I hate it so much, or I'm leaning heavily towards an increased mr pinchy rate.
My point for all this is don't come to this page, read the top comment and cry yourself to sleep. Just dig in, and pray it doesnt take you 8 hours, because I honestly don't think it will.

Although there are many comments saying that the droprate has increased since patch 6.0, I had to cast over 1300 times in five days to get Mr Pinchy, and I'm up to my second wish and I haven't got the pet. It's important to remember that this is RNG and people who get the pet in just a few casts are more likely to tell the world; those who give up after hundreds or thousands, are probably less likely to post.
This isn't to discourage people, but to remind everyone that even if you don't get the pet straight away, keep at it.

Blackwind Lake in Terrokar Forest.
Spent two hours fishing, without realizing I needed to fish in the Highland Mixed Schools *facepalm*
Once I switched to only fishing from the schools, I got it in 23 attempts, along with the pet.

I don't mind doing achievements, I truly don't. Aside from fishing achievements. However, I am determined to get my Salty title... Eventually.
Now, a little back story. I moved from EU to US realms and hence, all my achievements were nullified. Redoing most of them was a breeze that I enjoyed in some manner. I enjoyed Loremaster, cooking was fine, exploration was a breeze, etc. But fishing... I never got Mr. Evasive Pinchy The Mind Slayer on my EU account but I had hours and hours put into it, practically living in Terrokar. In fact, I leveled my Sha'tari Skyguard reputation while waiting for pool spawns and to give myself a break from staring at the screen. Thousands of casts. Nothing.
I did get it on my US account a bit ago, 02/05/2022 (or 05/02/2022, for non-US friends). First of all, since I didn't realize this from top comments, the cooldown on him is 4 hours, which is far more forgiving. Also: my tactic was completely different. I didn't sit in Terrokar at all. I would stop by every once in a while and fish up a few pools while I was in the mood and had the focus (since fishing is hard to do at the same time as doing anything else at all). I got him in a fairly small amount of casts (under 500). So it is RNG. Pure RNG. I am crying that I don't have to sit here forever.
But my advice is - relax and don't stress about it as much. Do it as a route a few times a week, but don't focus on just doing this achievement. Insanity awaits. He will drop when he decides to drop, like Gandalf arriving at the party.
Mr. Pinchy is never late. He arrives exactly when he plans to.

For those after the achievement and are wondering the time investment as I was.
It has a 0.2% chance from Highland Mix Schools.
This means the average player (50%) will see it within 346 casts.
Each cast is an average of about 10 seconds.
10 x 346 = 3460s = 58 minutes.
Adding about 25% of this duration to accommodate flying between the Schools and human error.
It will take the average player about 1hr 15min of fishing from these schools to obtain the achievement.

I got this achievement on my fourth cast yesterday. It is possible (but not confirmed) the drop rates have been relaxed, but maybe I just got lucky.

Finally fished it up, and lost it due to it asking if I wanted to loot it, just be aware of each time you catch a fish to not auto pilot otherwise you will lose the item should it drop.

Must have been really lucky or they've upped the rate you can get it. Got it from the lake after just 5 tries. Was prepared to sit here for hours lol. GL everyone still trying for it and hope you have the same luck.

I am on 255 attempts to far, I shall update when(if) I ever get the damn thing. Not using loads of fishing gear, just Dragon Fishing Pole with a +13 on it.
04/05/23 - 337
05/05/23 - Caught on 388 casts. Got the achievement first time :)

If we look at averages alone, it can potentially take quite a lot of time to catch Mr. Pinchy.
At 0.2% rate of catching, that has a distribution of E(x) = 1/p. In this case, it is E(x) = 1/0.002 =
500 casts
.
That is, it will take ON AVERAGE, 500 casts to catch him. However there is of course RNG, and as some have highlighted here, it can happen in 20 casts or 2000 casts. 500 is just an average probability.
If he has 3 wishes and each wish has an 8% chance to drop the magical crawdad box, we can use the same formula: E(x) = 1/0.08 =
12.5 wishes
12.5 / 3 =
4.166
So again, on average, you will need to use his 3 wishes 4 times in order to get the crawdad box.
The expectation here should then be that if you need to catch him 4 times, that's
2000 casts
.
Get your macros / keybinding ready, put on a good movie, and do the lake circuit! While there's a chance you can get him on the first cast, and get the box on the first wish, the better chances are that you will be there a long while.

I know, more than likely, you're coming to the newest comments to see if there is a trick or tip that can help you catch this stupid crawdad faster; sadly, there isn't. I started Outland fishing at zero. After two days, roughly a total of 6 hours collectively, I caught 346 Furious Crawdads, 118 Golden Darters, 6 Huge Spotted Fish, 4 Spotted Feltail, 9 Barbed Gill Trout, 6 Enormous Barbed Gilled Trout, and I don't know how many cases and boxes. I would estimate I was around 560 casts. Anyway, my point in typing all this is to offer encouragement and don't give up. I got the achievement on the first click of Mr. Pinchy, and now I'm done with this area forever. Good luck.

I think I got very lucky, finished Outland Angler at these pools, carried on and about 90 minutes later I got Mr Pinchy, and first click the achievement (and the Magical Crawdad toy). Thank god!
