Where to Find the Trophy Fish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Nibbling Minnow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zones \u2014 All Zones of Khaz Algar
Pools \u2014 Calm Surfacing Ripple<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nibbling Minnow<\/a> is the most common Trophy Fish, and it can be found in any zone within Khaz Algar. Look for Calm Surfacing Ripple<\/a> pools, as these are your best chance to catch this fish quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Arathor Hammerfish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zones \u2014 Hallowfall
Pools \u2014 Blood in the Water<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arathor Hammerfish<\/a> is found only in the Hallowfall zone, making it more exclusive than the Nibbling Minnow. Focus on fishing in Blood in the Water<\/a> pools to get this catch. Its rarity makes it slightly more challenging, but with the right pool, you\u2019ll secure it in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Queen’s Lurefish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zones \u2014 Hallowfall<\/a>,
Pools \u2014 Royal Ripple<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Queen’s Lurefish<\/a> is the rarest of the three, found in Hallowfall<\/a> and Azj-Kahet<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to locate the elusive Royal Ripple<\/a> pools. Be careful \u2014 fishing in these pools with a low fishing skill may result in catching a Cursed Ghoulfish<\/a> instead. To avoid this, throw a Regal Dottyback<\/a> into the pool to clear the waters and ensure the Queen\u2019s Lurefish appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earning Mereldar Derby Marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After catching the three Trophy Fish, you can keep fishing to earn additional Mereldar Derby Marks<\/a>. For each unique fish you catch while the Derby Dasher<\/a> buff is still active, you\u2019ll get 1 Derby Mark. These marks are useful for different rewards, so make sure to maximize your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
