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
