This page summarises how to catch Spotted Feltail.

About Spotted Feltail

Usage: Cooking: Feltail Delight (restores 4320 health over 30 sec, 20 Stamina and Spirit for 30 min, requires Level 55).

Vendor Value: 8c.

Auction Value: Feltail Delight may sell for about 30s, but give inferior buffs to cooked Furious Crawdad (Spicy Crawdad), so tend to be less popular.

Catching Spotted Feltail

Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.

Notes: Terokkar Forest's Brackish Mixed Schools are only found in parts accessible without a flying mount.

Commentary: 15% of the catch from open water will be Spotted Feltail. Brackish contain on average just over 1 Spotted Feltail and 2 Golden Darter. Spotted Feltail are regarded as "trash" fish, caught while trying to catch something else: When cooked they only give a +20 stamina buff, compared to +30 from cooked Furious Crawdad. Brackish Mixed Schools share the 17 or 18 spawning points in Terokkar Forest's low-lying area with School of Darter. In Zangarmarsh pools may be either Brackish, Sporefish, or Flotsam.

History: 2.4: Brackish Mixed School replaced Feltail Schools.
