    This solo task begins with Whendt Goldspire in the Barren Coast at approximate location 10, -155.

    You say, 'Hail, Whent Goldspire'

    Whent Goldspire says 'Well, hello there! My name is Whent. I guess you'd say that I run the [Freetide Cartel], though that sounds far more impressive than it really is, considering that the cartel is pretty much three merchants and some hired mercenaries. Not that we have a lot of mercenaries, and there's always work for those willing to [take some risks].'

    You say, 'I'll take some risks'

    Whent Goldspire says 'I have several odd jobs that a single adventurer might undertake to earn some disposable income, if you are [interested]? I've also got some more dangerous work that I can't ask you to undertake unless you've got some help. I might be a merchant, but I have a heart beating in my chest just like you. I don't want to see anyone die alone. If you've got some friends, however, then we can talk about [some business] I need taken care of.'

    You say, 'I am interested'

    Whent Goldspire says 'Here's a list of things I need done. See if you can help out.'

    You are offered five tasks, one of which is 'Croaker?'.

    You have been assigned the task 'Croaker?'.

    Whent has asked you to bring him a goodly number of fish called Barren Croaker.

    Fish for 15 Barren Croaker - Barren Coast
    Deliver 15 Barren Croaker to Whent Goldspire - Barren Coast

    Reward:

    It took me 43 minutes to get the 15 Barren Croakers. I was fishing at the shore just behind Whent Goldspire, right of the dock. There are crocs swimming along the shoreline, so don't step too close to the water or put invis on. Never got aggroed.

    line casted: 123 times
    fishing pole broke: 1 times
    skillups: 19 (106 to 125)
    caught:
    • Nothing: 44
    • Fresh Fish: 24
    • Fish Scales: 14
    • Grunion: 12
    • Seaperch: 7
    • Kelpfish: 6
    • Rusty Dagger: 1
    • Barren Croaker: 15

    So the probability of catching a Barren Croaker is about 12%, but I wouldn't count on it. Once I got 3 in a row, then again none for 30 line casts...

    I've done 10 iterations of this quest, still indifferent.

    (yes, I enjoy fishing in EQ.. it's something I do while doing other stuff that prevents me from devoting all my attention to EQ, like paying my bills)
