Strand Crawler

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Go Barnaby, kill all the Gold Beggars in Orgrimmar!"

This is a fortune crab ;]

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

I also haven't gotten this drop from my bag yet, got my first jeweled fishing pole today but no pet yet :(

Haha Oxhorn... :D

I did my first fishing daily today to get the bit of corroded jewelery from the sewers. My fishing is pretty low really, only 220 something I think and I only have the strong fishing rod. I whacked on one of the red swirly looking fish lure things and got the bit of jewelery in about 20 tries [the first big surprise]
took it back to hand it in and low and behold in my very first bag was this little guy, who also happened to take me to 50 pets to get me the skunk!! A pretty good day all round :D

I was pretty lucky at this one, as I got it from the first fishing daily I did. It is a pretty nice pet, but not one of my favorites. Simply do the fishing daily every day, and it shoudnt take too long to get it.

I am having a bad time with this too 100+ fishing dailys an still no crab (im almost to exalted with the kirin tor by doing this daily for the crab) i must have the worst luck.

I've been trying solid since I was eligable for the dailies, only today did I get it, I've looted thosands of pigmy potions and even a fishing hat. Now i've finally got this guy he's awsome :3 Him and Mr. Pinchy are best friends, he especially loves it when I take him for day trips to stranglethorn's beaches, aaah good times.

I had my best luck ever obtaining this pet - I got it on the very first Dalaran fishing daily I completed - I was shocked and thought the pet must have been pretty common. I've done the dailies many times on 3 different toons now, and haven't seen it drop again.
