Bellona's Frenzy of War

Legionnaire Lamprey is the reason to know Bellona's Frenzy of War: this Exotic averages C$28,636, while the next best fish, Ironjaw Guppy, an Uncommon, averages only C$91. Nothing else here comes close to the Lamprey, and the rest of the documented catches are small change: Splinterfin Carp at C$53.3, Rustscale Minnow at C$46.7 and Rusty Hook, a Trash item, at C$3.

Five fish are documented: one Exotic, one Uncommon, two Common and one Trash. The shape is about as lopsided as a zone can be, which makes the whole session a hunt for one species. Names such as Warlord Sturgeon, Gladiator Eel and Bloodfang Barracuda are also listed for the zone, though without documented prices.

The war-camp feel comes from the inhabitants: Bellona's Overseer and three Royal Guards, numbered 1 to 3. The shop side is a single rod, Bellona's Waraxe, listed at C$5,000,000.

Verdict: the Waraxe is a late-game purchase, and the Lamprey is the payout that makes sense of it. Do not come for volume, because the Common and Trash fish will not cover the trip.
