Duneseat Crustacean guide

Cacti Pulp is the unusual bait that draws the Duneseat Crustacean, a Rare fish from the Drylands. The wiki pictures a heavily armored, broad-backed crustacean that digs into sand dunes to ambush prey. It bites in clear summer weather and weighs 6 kg to 52.5 kg, averaging 15.5 kg.

Its worth is above what its rate suggests. At C$13.6 per kg it averages C$210.8, 480th of 742 documented fish by value, while the 52.5 kg maximum ranks 314th of 663 by weight, so a large one is a solid catch. Base XP is 210, almost equal to the sale value.

Dustveil Ray and Strata-Bound Bass are the other Rare fish documented in the Drylands, so you can pick up all three during a single summer session. Fish with Cacti Pulp on a clear day. It is not a headline catch, but for a Rare it pays a steady middle-of-the-table return, and it makes sense to sell the heavier ones and keep the lighter ones for XP.
