Shortfin Mako Shark guide

Shortfin Mako Shark is a Common fish, but its conditions are specific: Deep Coral as bait, Night, Rain, any season, and the Forsaken Shores zone. The entry calls it a fast predator of the forsaken ocean whose speed and strength attract seasoned anglers. It is also tagged as a shark.

It is large for a Common: 26 to 260 kg, averaging 65 kg, with a maximum that ranks 229th of 663. The catch is the price. At C$1.9 per kg an average mako sells for only about C$123, 560th of 742 by value. No base XP is listed.

Corsair Grouper is the only other Common fish documented in the zone. Great Rod Of Oscar and Scurvy Rod are sold in Forsaken Shores, so the rod is not a hurdle.

Verdict: the tag and the name suggest something exciting, but the numbers say otherwise. It is heavy, cheap and gives no listed XP, so there is little reason to prepare Deep Coral for it alone. If you are already fishing Forsaken Shores on a rainy night, you will pick one up and can sell it. Use it as a completion entry for the shark tag, not as an income plan.
