Catching Deviate Fish

Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.

Notes: Can only be caught from the waters of three oases in The Barrens (The Forgotten Pools, Lushwater Oasis and The Stagnant Oasis), School of Deviate Fish in the same waters, or the waters of The Wailing Caverns (both the approach tunnel and dungeon).

Commentary: 30% of the catch from open water will be Deviate Fish. There is no clear difference in catch rate between the oases in The Barrens and The Wailing Caverns. School of Deviate Fish reappear quickly, but force the fisherman or woman to continually move between oases. Overall, pool fishing will give the greatest catch, unless you are unmounted, competing against many other people who are fishing pools, or likely to be attacked. The Wailing Caverns are the safest location to fish by those above level 30.
