I open an extra thread for that just to make sure that it works how it’s supposed to. I am close to give up on this since testing requires to interrupt work like hourly, for days now, but I simply think it can’t be…
Two places are known where people successfully fished, posted on Atropos map and Carnage page:
Spoilers
Hulthines (close Flying High Portal Stone) and Rainforest (Hermit Camp, on the side closer to Nomad’s Portal Stone)
I can’t be at both, wasted lots reagents to port back and forth tho.
My list (shortened) looks like this:

The fish spawns when it rains just like Frosted Perch before, fine, how hard can it be…
8:50 Rain, nothing
11:20 Rain, nothing
13:00 Rain, nothing
14:30 Rain, nothing
17:30 Rain, nothing
19:00 Rain, nothing
etc. etc. etc.; this is Rainforest. Hulthines is even more a pain since it takes that long for the lure to come back that rain is over when I am finished with testing the waters; but it’s similar. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I’m entirely sure I am at the places the maps show. I am using 45-60 throws with ‘empty’ lures (rotten finger or feather), per rain phase, to test for nibbles. Not one in whatever phase or area I tried.
Now iirc in the OG rain was synced across areas. We could just play normally and switch to areas where it rains to test. Now we are glued to zones which makes it even more boring, the only reasonable way is either know fixed times - if those even exist - or afk there, peeking in regularly, until rain arrives. This waiting time for rain alone is tedious enough but if then it finally rains and it does not spawn at 6 different times, throughout the day, I really wonder if that’s some sort of joke, sorry…
Thanks for american players forwarding times where they DID indeed fish it, all this is middle of the night for me though. I very much hope Jelmiry isn’t sleeping all day until then or spawning right when we do dungeon evenings or such. There must be several times, during 24h, when it spawns right… I found all other fish by now, testing patiently and forwarding info to be published for all, but this one seems to be either a needle in a haystack OR the locations are wrong after all (there’s even a ss though of a catch) OR the nibble mechanics is just completely worthless; after over 1000 throws for testing ONLY I slowly suppose it is.
I mean, this is not a legendary transmog we go for weeks and be happy if we find one, finally, but a fish needed for plain regular endgame-crafting. It is supposed to SPEED UP the process of singles; if it’s taking days to get even a nibble this is a pure game of luck and skipp-able content, since it’s taking a fraction of that time just fishing for singles.
