Where is forlorn cavern

Enter the cave and interact with the skeleton to receive a broken net; this is needed to get the key. Once returned to the cave, going east will return Ember to the campfire. Go back to the pond and speak to the fisherman, who will fix the broken net. Head back to the area with the locked gate and continue westward until you find the small pool of water. Interact with the reeds and use the net to fish out the gate key. Before returning to the gate, go south from the little fire and follow the path to some lily pads.

Cross them to reach an area with a worm and two frog statues. Use The Last Campfire's statues to cover up the holes in the dirt before capturing the worm, which is needed to reach a forlorn later. Climb up the ledge, go east, and interact with a tree to make it a bridge. Cross it and return to the locked gate.

Exit east and go back to the pond. Speak to the frog and offer it the worm. No decent place to try and get it done period just hours of corpse running and getting ganked and the "hide behind the pillars and fish in the lava" BS is just that grade A first class BS.

My advice is that if you're horde forget about this cause unless youre just lucky as hell you arent going to get it without hours and hours Comment by Rastafa Take a look at the comments for the item Old Ironjaw. There's a detailed explanation of a hidden spot that is almost impossible to be attacked in. Opened GM ticket and they told me that everything is working as designed.

So good luck with the achievement. I think the best time to go in was around 9pm to Comment by Graenor Tried this trick. I'm horde, got the crocalisk quest, went fishing for Old Crafty in Orgrimmar, got him after 21 casts. Started to believe this works. Then I went to Ironforge, after dying to guards once or twice, I started fishing in the forlorn cavern.

After casts, still no Old Ironjaw. So seems it does not change much, though I have to admit, either I was very lucky in Orgrimmar, or it does work, but only for Old Crafty and not for Old Ironjaw.

Comment by Just as a matter of stats, as a horde druid at the wheel location, I caught Old Ironjaw today. It took me approximately 2 hours and casts to get it. I only had 2 alliance even notice me in that time, neither of which could see me well enough to make a reasonable attack before they died in the lava.

Comment by Got it today after 46 catches, while doing the Crocolisks in the City quest. This quest raises the chance to get Ironjaw and Crafty, as long as you don't have the Baby Crocolisk quest item in the inventory.

Comment by Just completed this as Horde yesterday. Fishing in the Forlorn Cavern it took be catches before I fished up Old Ironjaw, so be prepared to spend quite some time. I am happy to be on a very horde dominated server, so I only got killed by alliance 3 times while completing this.

Comment by hordi Although there's been much speculation you could increase your chances of fishing up Old Ironjaw by grabbing the Baby Crockolisk fishing daily, I can assure you that as an Alliance member it doesn't increase your odds of acquiring Ironforge's elusive fish. After fishing for over two hours with that fishing daily in my quest log and not looting the baby crock as speculators suggest , I still was unable to fish up Ironjaw.

That said, I fished up Old Crafty on the first cast with the baby crock fishing daily in my quest log. Perhaps the mechanic works similarly for the Horde, whereby their chance of fishing up Old Ironjaw is increased but doesn't necessarily affect their chances of fishing up Old Crafty.

Comment by snotnose Fished up Old Ironjaw yesterday as Horde using the "secret spot" noted above in the lava after my 5th cast. No other fishing enhancements and no fishing quests in my log. FWIW wasn't able to position camera as noted above on my current model MacBook Pro couldn't get it to pan out far enough that I could see the lava on the other side of the wheel , so just turned 90 degrees and fished between the wall and the spinning wheel.

Other than having to click multiple times sometimes to cast, no other issues doing it that way. Comment by Requires fishing caught to get him : weeee. Comment by Pyronomikon I don't think the quest changes much while fishing in Org. I have yet to attempt to fish Old Ironjaw though. Comment by It took me several hours h during 4 days to get this. It was really frustrating to see some dude get it after less than ten casts.

My fishing skill grew from to during those days. Comment by Forderz spent 6 hours and leveled to on this. Still didn't fish him up, though You need to hope that alliance are feeling generous. Comment by Acappella In reply to Turgidity's comment since the forum is putting my comment at the bottom even when I hit "reply" to his post : "Just as a matter of stats, as a horde druid at the wheel location, I caught Old Ironjaw today.

It only increases your chance of getting a bite and of your catch not getting away when your fishing skill is too low to catch stuff with regularity in the zone you're fishing in.

In other words, higher fishing skill does not give you better luck catching rare fish. Comment by I've been fishing for this over 4 nights, and approx. Dont have a count but I've been around fishes caught per session, so to undercut abit Im well over catches Been fishing at the wheel in the lava all of this time, anyone that can confirm that he's still catchable there after the latest patch? Seeing a comment somewhere that a guy got a warning and a 3 hour ban for wallclimbing and using that to fish, I figured they might removed it to avoid any further incidents like it.

Going there again tonight after midnight when its not that crowded for another catches, but its really getting on my nerves, especially since most of my guildies never spent over catches for him.

Comment by Spoon84 picked up croc in the city quest and after about casts i got old ironjaw. For The Horde! Comment by Update. And as others have posted here, remember that when you catch him, you will receive a loot box asking if you wish to loot the item, so don't be too quick on the recast, or you might miss your chance. As of today, I have gone from fishing skill level of to , over fish, and still have not gotten this achievement.

Will update later. Comment by wingsofscion Wow, it seems I managed to get this one with some major luck; I was fishing in Ironforge for approximately 5 minutes with around 75 fishing skill gogo powerleveling profs at That said, I guess his drop rate, as it were, requires some decent luck. It also looks like it doesn't require much skill in the way of fishing in order to obtain him.

Comment by unfo has earned the achievement! You receive loot:. Your skill in Fishing has increased to Comment by Jerenn I got it after over catches. That took way too long :P. Comment by Malvenue As of patch 3. Comment by urnias Got Ironjaw last night in Forlorn Cavern.

Got killed twice on the way in. Only saw 4 or 5 Alliance run past while fishing, but I don't think they saw me all the way in the back. Took about casts at skill. Comment by 4 hours of fishing in if and still nothing better luck tomorrow I used the wheel's invisible ledge trick in The Great Forge had my toon facing the wheel and had no problem adjusting my camera angle to find the bobber.

Longjaw Mud Snapper: 19 I had no troubles today and didn't see any alliance for the short time I was there I am 3 hours ahead of server time so it seems the early bird gets the worm. Good luck to everyone else! I used the instructions here as for how to jump up the wheel, strafing seemed to do the trick! Comment by Worold Finally caught him this morning. Thank goodness it's done! Comment by No longer warns you that looting Old Ironjaw will bind it to you.

This helps prevent people accidentally re-fishing too quickly if they have auto-loot on. Comment by This might get downrated, but I just wanted to tell you that it is possible, though not actually anything worth beating, to get the Achievement before getting the Achievement. I can prove it, by showing you this Screenshot. Comment by Dusktide just tried to fish the lava in the middle of IF stood on the invisible platform under the wheel and got the error "there aren't any fish here".

It's a cute little Horde story We're both level 80 Mages, decently geared, and knew the kind of trouble we were about to get into. We teleported to Stonard, flew to Kargath, then hopped on my Mechano-hog and rode north all the way to Ironforge. I had him navigate the quickest route to The Forlorn Cavern.

There were a few lowbie Alliance players dueling out front. At any rate, we booked it past the front gate and headed left toward TFC. I got ganked by a guard, my buddy made it all the way to the water with an 80 Human Warrior hot on his trail. I revived and got my corpse to the water; he stayed dead but ready to revive. There were two Alliance players fishing. I was getting a little frustrated with the situation, so I said "!

I started casting and expected to get ganked at any moment, but the Allies left me alone. My buddy saw this and did the same thing. We fished together for about 10 minutes before both Allies left. That's when a 70 Night Elf Rogue decided to play around with us We got sapped a bit. Then we had little knives thrown at us from around a corner. Then we got ganked. Of course we were both naked and unbuffed; we figured the Allies would have left us alone if they saw that we only wanted to fish.

The two 80s were respectful, but this Rogue was downright annoying. I suggested we put our gear back on in case the annoying Rogue came back. You know Well, a few minutes go by and the Rogue shows his ugly face again. I let him throw two knives at me before running into his LoS, casting Presence of Mind to make my Arcane Blast instant-cast, then he tasted a double Arcane Barrage from two 80 Mages He never saw what hit him!

We laughed a bit, killed a few guards, then ported to Dalaran. About two minutes after the two 80 Allies left me and my buddy alone, I fished up Old Ironjaw. It took a mere 50 casts. It's late here and I'm dead tired! Almost no one came by and those that did either starred or fished with me. I was usually killed after between and catches. Oddly enough often people would fish with me then decide to kill me. Comment by Coincidence The new battleground queue from anywhere feature makes this a little less miserable.

Horde, keep a battleground queue up. If any ally take notice, simply take the queue and a short pvp break. You have to anticipate a little bit, since you can't accept the queue while in combat, but you can usually tell pretty easily if someone's going to start trouble. It works great, it has saved me many corpse runs, and it breaks up the monotony a little bit. Comment by For the horde there is a way to catch it and be safe if you manage to get into IF and to the pool were he is go to the back of the pool and fish i seen some other hordes doing it but i have no need im alliance so plz test it out and reply to me if you can do it or not.

Comment by valdor I prepared a book, ordered a pizza for an "Old Ironjaw" afternoon thinking it would take me hours Who says better? My fishing had just hit , so it was much, much less than the casts people have been complaining about above.

Comment by This achievement didn't take a long time. Comment by beth They have removed the ability to fish this up from the wheel in the lava. It nows says "There are no fish here. After killing a really annoying DK around 30 times, we both made friends with some alliance PvE server where they actually made Horde toons to ask us why we are trying to fish in their pond!

It took me about fish and my friend fish to catch this up. Things to consider - 1-make sure that there are no terrabad guilds on your server doing For the Horde at the same time as you. If you die wait to rez until alliance are gone unless they are very nice!

Note - Not recommended to vow to stay with friend while they fish up fish either! TY to those of you who are really cool! Comment by On Horde, Destromath server. Been fishing pretty much all day. Haven't gotten the rare pull yet but I've gotten a couple useless greens which was surprising.

Only been killed about 15 times total and 10 of those were in the last couple hours. Run back and they were usually gone. Not really a problem though because I've been bored and it was calming.

So make sure you're not in a bad mood or expecting to just run in and get it straight off. Comment by Grzegorz Done tonight - 53 catches with skill 15 minuts. Safe spot to fish is The Folron Cavern just stay in back of the cave. Comment by took me a while, but after bout 60 fish i got him :.

Comment by Took five hours in three days to catch him. But had a good time in Ironforge, drank with alliance players who where also fishing and told jokes. Guess I was lucky only ganked four times. Helps if you don't wear your armor or fight back. Have a good time and good luck.

Comment by I am currently fishing at the Forlorn Cavern. It's pm and it's fairly quiet, only 3 people fishing here. So far tonight I've caught things. No ironjaw yet. Got a 19 pound catfish, though. Comment by Thortok With fishing, I caught him in 42 casts. Your mileage may vary. Comment by what is the drop rate? Comment by After much time and diligence and just over casts at max fishing level , I finally caught Ironjaw.

This could easily be the hardest fishing achievement there is. Wouldn't it be nice if the reward was worth the effort? As a funny sidenote, the night before I caught him I had spent over three hours in a row trying. In comes a level 20 something and he started fishing right next to me. His first cast he got his 50 fish achievement. His next cast brought in Old Ironjaw! I coulda killed the guy! Comment by Ok can someone confirm that you cannot fish in the lava anymore?

I am horde and last time i tried was in the lava, so i have no idea where else to try. Comment by mooloz took 23 mins to fish him up in Forlorn Cavern I used a Small Feast to go unnoticed, and "sit" X under water most of the time : anyway, props to Graig of Dragonblight - EU human paladin , who beared with me while attempting the achievement : Good luck! Comment by Keoskey I wounder if this achievement will be easier to get when they bring flying mounts to Azeroth just fly in and land somewhere safe to fish.

Comment by TheMinority I got this after about fish. I thought I had to do it all over again cause when i caught him I was so exalted that I forgot to click on the fish. After that it went back again. The next cast I didn't get anything. The cast after that I really catched the damn fish.

Lol but the guy beside me said he's been there for days. I guess it's really depends on luck after all I think it helped it was during Brewfest, because almost no one was in the city and no one noticed me. I just sat in the back of the cavern and laid down so I wasn't as visible. I got lucky on Old Crafty, too, too bad I can't catch any gold coins Comment by Caught Ironjaw in less than fishes : ; I fished at the pool in Florlorn Caverns.

I think I had the skill of Comment by Chronios I decided to fish Old Ironjaw which i did in about two hours of fishing. On my first try, after 30 mins of fishing, a 17lvl player comes next to me and started talking. I told him that i was trying to get the achievement and he begun fishing also. In only 3 mins of fishing he managed to get Ironjaw. I got really mad and i left.

The following day i went back to Ironforge and completed the achievement in about 1. Comment by kcz Took me about 2 hours of fishing, don't know how many casts. A few hundred, I guess. Check out our handy guide! Simply browse for your screenshot using the form below.
