The BIGGEST FISH in Sea of Thieves

[@Ghostly3011]

Fun fact! Stormfish species are biome-based, with the Shadow being simply a rare one. This means that you are guaranteed to find Shadow Stormfish at the Sea Dog’s Tavern, as it technically isn’t in any of the biomes. Also, the Shadow Stormfish isn’t the rarest one. That goes to the Blackcloud Wrecker, which needs to be caught at a shipwreck, while in a storm!

The best place to fish for shadow stormfish is by the Sea Dogs hideout. It's technically not in any of the regions so the only stormfish that will pop up there during the day is the shadow stormfish. As others have mentioned, Merfolk's Lullaby is great for storm tracking, helps when fishing for those dang Blackcloud wreckers! Good luck out there fishermen, one day you too will have the title, Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves, I wear it with pride :)

[@BigJinfinity]

That information is outdated actually, Wild Stormfish now spawn in areas that normally aren't part of any particular region

@@BigJinfinity welp that sucks, Rare always seems to patch the good things in the game.

[@BigJinfinity]

​@@stiixgirl6148 Honestly i'm not convinced the odds were even that much better to begin with Cause the chance to spawn a rare fish should be the same either way right? Atleast that's what i assume, noone really knows how the spawning works exactly Though while doing milestones i noticed that the odds seem to be around 1%, since for all three fish i've completed, around 10 in 1000 were the rare variant

Hey Cliff, when it comes to the hunters' call, do the commendations. It will make you feel a little bit better about the grind. Also, the rarest fish is the storm variant of the wrecker due to its spawning conditions.

[@ThunderbackOG]

The trick is to use the storm tracker, and go ahead of its path until you find a shipwreck.

[@stiixgirl6148]

Blackcloud wreckers were a bitch for me. Having to be in a storm while fishing at a shipwreck isn't fun but even worse when you have to catch 50 of them! The sand battlegils were my last fish to catch, I think they're a toss-up for being the rarest, you have to fish for them at a fort or in the fleet.

As a certified fish video reviewer, this is an excellent video -11/10 on the fish scale!

[@txinterceptor8428]

Great video, as always! One trick is park next to an island where the storm is heading, then fish pointing out to sea as the storm passes over you. Your ship won't take any damage from the waves because you're by the island and the lightning seems (anecdotally) less frequent. Also if you're in a sloop, fish out the back from the map table room to avoid the lightning. Also if you try the Sea Dog's tavern trick, it will seem like it's all splashtails, but be patient.

Personally, My method for grinding out Hunters Call involves alot of sirens and walkers. Become a gem hoarder and kill as many fishbacks as you can Some other advice; if someone sits atop the crows nest with their sword out, they're more likely to get struck by lightning. I don't know if this Pirate Lightning Rod will reduce the strikes done on the rest of the crew as I haven't tried it, but it's an idea for you

Hey Cliff have you thought of using fort of the damned to fish battlegill? they sell for quite a good bit. You assemble everything to start a fort of the damned, park your boat or a rowboat behind the FOTD and just fish. The active FOTD makes it so you fish up battlegill and they sell for an ok amount. It makes your overall gold per catch rise. Also, cooking them is eh.. Cooked fish only give you a small % gain to value. It's normally best to only cook trophy fish, unless you have someone with crazy down time who just doesn't wanna fish.

Hey Cliff, i don’t know if it works, never had the idea at the right time, but when you take a look at merpholks lullaby at the weather forecast and watch out for the arena. because it is not in any region so it should have guaranteed shadow stormfishes when theres a storm around arena

[@ajtom7023]

and did it work? just curious

[@nikolaiandersson6024]

And to think I WASTED my community day doing Fort of the Dammed... when I could be out there raking in, the big bucks. Cliff very proud of you for getting the Shadow Stormfish, but if you want an easier wau to catch stormfish, is to use the Merfolk's Lullaby site, it can predict where the storm is going, and you can just park at **Small** Island, that way you can cook while you wait for the storm/travel, everyone can fish at the island, an if the island is small, you are not competing with Islandhoppers. Hope this info get you over the edge.

[@CliffTheStoryGuy]

That doesn't really make it any easier tbh, if I wanna keep my fishing uptime as high as possible, just staying in the storm makes more sense then seeking out an island, anchoring, starting to fish and then doing it all over again once the storm moves

[@nikolaiandersson6024]

@@CliffTheStoryGuy I mean does make it easier, at least, less prone to error. When you're not in a storm you travel faster, when you get to the island you can get more bait or cook fish, when the storm approach all can fish without fear of loosing it to passing islands/rocks. And doing this in the Wilds and Shore of plenty, also ensures your bait does not compete with the ancientscale, meaning you are more prone to getting more Stormfish, more securely with everyone fishing. Simply look on the Merfolk's map where the storm is heading, you land minutes early and get a full duration of it's visit to the island, you can leave as soon as the storm is over and start over. This can get you 3-4 stormfish per person that fish per island. At least I find this method more effective, tho perhaps not as great for content... If you want a REALLY rare fish my friend, seek the Blackcloud wrecker...
