Fish: Cleyran Carp
Location: Living Memory
Hole: Mu Spring Eternal (12.8x, 11.3y)
Bait: Popper Lure
Conditions: Any Time, Any Weather
Folklore Book: None
Min Gathering: Overall sand yields will increase with higher perception.
Min Collectability for Sand: 1012+, 1067+ for bonus.

📋Slap Target
Arrive at Mu Spring Eternal, use Prize Catch, Collect, and cast out with Popper Lure. Use Ambitious Lure 3 times. You want to catch a Giant Snakehead, a !! bite, to Surface Slap. While Cleyran Carp is a !! bite as well, it will only appear when you see the message “A dark form looms in the water
” while using Ambitious Lure. So while Surface Slap is NOT active, you want to let whatever will bite after using ALure 3x, actually bites.

Once you catch a Giant Snakehead, use Surface Slap and Prize Catch again, then cast back.

🎣Catching Cleyran Carp
With at least Giant Snakehead Slapped, cast back out and use Ambitious Lure 3 times. If you see the message “A dark form looms in the water
” the Cleyran Carp has an opportunity to bite, and will be the only !! bite with Giant Snakehead slapped.

If you do NOT see the message “A dark form looms in the water
” use Rest, then cast back out and use Ambitious Lure 3 times again. Repeat until you get the message.

Again, once you get the message for Cleyran Carp, wait for the fish to bite and if it is a !! bite, use hook to reel it in.

🎣Big-game Fishing
Every two Angler’s Art Stacks you get, use Big Game fishing after you use Surface Slap on Giant Snakehead. Big-game Fishing is a skill which (with certain perception thresholds met) increases the size of any large-sized fish caught to top percentage size it could be – which, for Cleyran Carp, means you’ll have more sand you can get.

Is it required to get more sand? No. But it does help keep a consistent supply of sand flowing.

Good luck and happy fishing!

  1. Thanks! I didn’t see it in the description so here’s my experience on the approximate sand amounts:
    <1015 collect : 0-2 sand
    1016 – 1042 : 2-3 sand
    1043 – 1066 : 3-4 sand
    1067 – 1073 : 5-6 sand (chance of 12)
