The Hallowfall Fishing Derby in The War Within
Important: Once you accept the quest, you only have one real hour to catch the Trophy Fish and earn Mereldar Derby Marks. If you leave the game or give up while the Derby Dasher buff is still on, the timer keeps running. After the Derby Dasher runs out, you can’t get the buff again until the next event.

Where to Find the Trophy Fish
1. Crystalline Sturgeon
- Zones — Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps
- Pools — Glimmerpool
The Crystalline Sturgeon is a common fish, but you can only catch it in the Glimmerpool. Luckily, this pool shows up a lot in both Isle of Dorn and The Ringing Deeps.
2. Specular Rainbowfish
- Zones — Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps
- Pools — Glimmerpool
The Specular Rainbowfish isn’t as rare as it seems, but it can be tricky to find. It shares the same pools and zones as the Crystalline Sturgeon, so just look for the Glimmerpool in Isle of Dorn or The Ringing Deeps.
3. Sanguine Dogfish
- Zones — All Zones of Khaz Algar
- Pools — Blood in the Water, Bloody Perch Swarm
The Sanguine Dogfish is rare, but you can make it easier to catch. It’s found in any zone of Khaz Algar, but fishing in Blood in the Water or Bloody Perch Swarm pools is the best option. You’ll catch Bloody Perch from these pools. Once you catch 10, throw them back in the water for a guaranteed Sanguine Dogfish on the next try. Just remember not to move after throwing the Bloody Perch, as this cancels the Bloody Chum effect.
