Ember Perch guide
Anyone who has seen a regular Perch will recognise the Ember Perch: the wiki describes the same body with a darker color and bright orange markings, and its quips make the joke for it, from “I caught a Perch!.. Why is it so hot?” to “Woah, a Perch! Why is it on fire?”. It swims in lava at the Roslit Volcano, and the game explains that thick skin and a talent for turning coal and carbon into food let it live there.
It is as undemanding as an Unusual fish gets. Any bait works, any time of day, any season; the only condition is Clear weather. On the bar it drifts slowly and steadily, an easy fight by the wiki's account, and a Red marker appears above you, with a bell, when it bites.
Its base XP is 100, 72nd among 102 Unusual fish and the same figure as Yellow Boxfish, Fangborn Gar, Chinook Salmon and Redeye Bass. Its sibling Ember Snapper pays 120 from the same volcano.
