* Inland open water catch rates are based on fishing at Oases: Other parts of the zone will give slightly higher proportions of Raw Brilliant Smallfish, Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish, and Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper. Armor and weapons may rarely be caught from inland open water. These are not shown in the table.

The catch rate is the approximate proportion of all catches from the water/pool type that are the named fish.

The Barrens (The Sludge Fen)

Notes: The Sludge Fen is on the far northern side of The Barrens.

Topic: Deviate Scales in The Barrens

  1. By Yohaun, on 09 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.
