Catching Spotted Feltail

Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.

Notes: Terokkar Forest's Brackish Mixed School are only found in parts accessible without a flying mount.

Commentary: 15% of the catch from open water will be Spotted Feltail. Brackish contain on average just over 1 Spotted Feltail and 2 Golden Darter. Spotted Feltail are regarded as "trash" fish, caught while trying to catch something else: When cooked they only give a +20 stamina buff, compared to +30 from cooked Furious Crawdad. Brackish Mixed Schools share the 17 or 18 spawning points in Terokkar Forest's low-lying area with School of Darter. In Zangarmarsh pools may be either Brackish Mixed School, Sporefish School, or Steam Pump Flotsam.

History: 2.4: Brackish Mixed School replaced Feltail Schools.
