What every fisherman setting sail for Sarducaa must know
★★★The great rebalance. In mid-August the catch tables were reshuffled: junk fish (bassle, carb) now pollute the 20/50/100 hook pools, bites take longer, and Windfish fell from the ever-biting tier. Old near-certain setups are certain no more.
★★★The curse is lifted. Since the post-Sarducaa patch, the oases, lakes and pools accept the line at last. What dwells in the fresh water is not yet charted — the first reports are only beginning to arrive.
★★★Myrland fish swim these shores. Along the eastern coast and in the waters of Khwar Migdal, fish of the old continent are taken alongside the new.
★★Trinket water. The only trinket-bearing water lies at Khwar Migdal.
★★★The silver coin is king. No single bait takes more Sarducaan species than a simple silver coin.
★★Scales & skins. Sarducaa yields leptoid and ganoid scales in plenty; placoid is won from the sharks of the east, or the rays of Khwar Migdal.

VII · The Rule of the Hook
| Hook | Suits |
|---|---|
| 0.2 – 1 | the small & the bottom-dwellers — Calxfish, Rytu, Tailfish, Mitten Crab, Rodspine, Pigg |
| 5 | the workhorse — Bluefish, Bassle, Carb, Arrowfish, Durp, Strayfish, Shark, Beekfish, Fast Stinger, Flat Fish |
| 10 | Conger Eel, Pansar Lobster, heavier arrowfish (mind the line) |
| 20 | Windfish (any bait), Lobster, deep Venomcup & Turtle grounds |
| 50 | Windfish, Stream Mauler, Brickerfish, Bucklerfish, Giant Crab, trinket water |
| 100 | Stream Mauler alone — and whatever leviathans are yet unnamed |
Of lines, one truth has emerged: the strong line is best for everything and costs only fishing coins — take it always; a medium line serves only while coins run short.
