Pls Help !!

I'm beyond the point of ripping my hair out, The HISTCARP found in LAKES in SHADOWFEN has been the most elusive fish EVER! I've spent the last day and 1/2 trying to catch this god for saken blue fish and its no where to be found.

What in the actual *** is going on? Are all the guides *** and the histcarp is only found in 1 special secret hidden cave locked away behind the DLC dungeos?

Someone please tell me they caught the damn fish in a lake and i'll continue the never end quest, But i seriously hope im doing something wrong here..

Guts = Lake = ALL OVER SHADOWFEN and NOTHING.. I have every fish from every other dominion, and every other fish from shadowfen BUT the histcarp...

What the *** is the drop rate for this thing cause im burning thru 200 stacks like there candy.

    Just really poor RNG mechanics I would guess.

    I've had stints where I would be a zone for nights trying to get a blue fish, then other stints where I would clear a zone in an hour.

    If you're not already try fishing with some friends as it increases the chance of a rare fish.

    A day and a half is nothing! I have spent far longer than that trying to catch that last blue fish. I find it is best to leave the area for a day or two and then come back and try again. Good luck!

    Oh i've had horrible drop rates in other zones but its NEVER taken a day and 1/2 of straight fishing to get them all, as i said i've cleard every single zone BUT this one, theres a few other forum posts about the issue as well so i know im not the only one stuck on this damn fish...

    sadly no friends to toodle around with but i did fish with a few randoms a cpl times in the lakes but nada.. Every other green fish sure.. But nada on the blue one :(

    I sent CS an email hopefully they have an answer, or will just give me the damn fish and call it a day lol

    Also Netflix.

    Fishing is much more fun when watching a marathon of Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

    I have 4 Master Anglers so I feel like kind of an expert at fishing in the game. You can't do anything about RNG so move on, do something else and then come back. Otherwise, you will make yourself crazy. :)
