Piraiba guide

Wait for rain and darkness in the Lost Jungle if you want a Piraiba. This Legendary catfish, described in game as a giant of the Amazon stretching meters long, takes Dragonfly bait, bites at Night in Rainy weather, and only in Autumn.

Weight is its whole story. It ranges from 3,000 kg to 35,000 kg and averages 9,000 kg, which puts its maximum at 67th of 663 fish. Price per kilogram, however, is just C$0.129, so an average specimen sells for only about C$1,163, which is 313th of the 742 documented fish by average value. It also grants 1,550 base XP. In other words, you will be fighting a giant for roughly the money of a much smaller Legendary.

Two rods are sold in the zone, Azure Of Lagoon and Tranquility Rod, so you can pick up zone gear without leaving.

Is it worth the trouble? For the sheer weight, yes, if you like landing monsters or collecting heavy records. For profit, no: the average value is middling and the bait, weather, hour and season requirements are all strict. If you are already in the Lost Jungle during an Autumn rainstorm at night with Dragonfly in the bag, go for it. Otherwise there are easier ways to earn C$1,163.
