Fishies with no use? :(

[Xislaben]

Razorthorn raid instance fish caught in Snowtail's pond:
Small Jinx Sturgeon (Giant)
Spectral Grouper (Large)
Spirit Pollock (Large)

Aside form making bait with the dispenser, I can't find any use!

The last 2 don't fit in a regular tackle box, and I tried making just Fish Bones and Filet of Freshwater Fish in the collapsible and DNC. The first doesn't fit in much of anything.

Will see about a skinning knife next.

For the record, there isn't an item in the game that cannot be used for testing the "Delete" button.

Bycatch is a problem.

Only use i found for those fish was the bait dispenser...had alot of bait after

They should be baitable... which technically deserves to have the tag I guess, but I did not think of it!

[Ngreth Thergn]

Actually... I just remembered...

heh. Was not what I had on my mind when I made that... (I was just tired and punchy and decided to be really silly when I made it...)

but you know... that does fit!!!

[Irilian]

Well, it's been a while. I've done fishing in Jewel, Barren Coast, Buried Sea and Thingummy the Coral Keep, entirely without finding any herring or sprat. I even spotted 'a fish' in Barren Coast while I was fishing, and killed a few - only getting fish scales and fresh fish.

Herring and sprat do not even sound like proper EQ fish names, which are always something less generic - perhaps Chum Chum was not using the same names as the game for the fish. However, I'm not going to do any more experimentation before we have the fishing results from the remaining zones. Perhaps it will turn out that 'herring' is a drop from a raid target, Chum Chum having exterminated the species in his maniacal desire for more and more chum.
