Rustscale Minnow guide
Minnow bait and a Clear day in Bellona's Frenzy of War are what Rustscale Minnow asks for. It is a Common fish, described as a small fish whose oxidized scales resemble worn armor.
It is tiny: 0.2 to 1.3 kg, with an average of 0.4 kg. The price per kg is a healthy C$116.7, but with so little weight the average catch brings only about C$47, ranking 660th of 742 by value. It gives 45 base XP, and its maximum weight is 625th of 663.
The one useful angle is the rod sold in the zone. Bellona's Waraxe is available there, and Splinterfin Carp is the only other Common fish listed alongside the minnow, so a Common bite in this zone comes from a short list. That keeps the early fishing there predictable.
Practical read: this is a starter fish. Fish it with Minnow during the day, sell what you get, and do not hold back any specimens for profit. The 45 XP is more useful than the coins if you are still levelling, and you will outgrow the fish quickly.
