Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.

Commentary: Rarely caught from fishing open water in the oasis of The Barrens. The main source of Deviate Scale is killing or skinning "Deviate" creatures in The Wailing Caverns.

Deviate Scales in The Barrens

  1. Yohaun, May 2008:

    Leveling up a new toon in a new guild and of course leveling up my fishing as fast as I can. I'm lvl 26 so I decided to just get to 225 by stocking up our guild on Deviate Fish as much as I can (after all, I *am* the Guild Fisherman in my new guild, and it's a lot of lowbies, so this will make the game more fun for them).

    I got about a 1% drop rate of Deviate Scales in the Lushwater Oasis. I know that the page here on The Barrens says (in one part) that there are "other" things caught part of the time, but seeing how I NEVER pulled up anything else "random" (everything else was an actual fish of some sort) I thought this was odd. And it's not mentioned on the page here.

    So fishing in The Barrens can help out Leatherworkers a little too in making those nice Deviate Gloves and Belts, which they're usually making around the same levels that you find yourself running about The Barrens a lot.

    Oh, and the 2 I caught were NOT from pools.

    Thanks Yohaun. It was listed on the detailed page, but missing from the Fish Finder.
