Hallucigenia guide

Hallucigenia is a Rare catch for Ancient Isle on Autumn days, taken with Flakes as bait. The description paints an elongated, worm-like creature covered in spiny appendages, and the weights fit: between 5.3 kg and 16 kg, with an average of 10.7 kg.

Where it earns attention is the price. At C$20 per kg, the average catch sells for C$214, which ranks 479th of 742 documented fish, just above the middle. The max weight ranks 425th of 663, so this is a small animal that gets paid like a bigger one. It also gives 125 base XP.

No other fish of the same rarity is listed for the island in the data I have, so Hallucigenia is not competing with anything at the Rare tier there. Rods sold on Ancient Isle are Krampus's Rod, Phoenix Rod and Stone Rod. Because it needs a specific bait, a specific season and daylight, it makes sense to prepare Flakes in advance and treat Autumn mornings as your window, instead of hoping to run into it by accident.
