A little mithra girl told me to show a sandfish to Mhebi Juhbily. I don't know if this is a quest or just one of the wierd things NPC's say now and then, I have high fame in kazham but no new quests appeared in my quest log... of course they don't always show up until you finish them... so anyway if someone knows if they are for a quest go ahead and respond.

Sandfish = 78 Guild Points.

Maximum per day = 2400 Guild Points.

Turn in 31 Sandfish to gain the maximum.

I have caught several stacks of these in rabao over the lst couple weeks. I checked all the AH of every city and they are never sold there!! In windy it has been months since they sold but they were going for 10k a stack there...I put one stack up at 10k to see if it will sell but dont think its gonna...What do you do with these when you catch them?

I tried catching them along with moat carp using a carbon rod + insect balls and 48 fishing skill. Some people say they're better for leveling 48-51 than the usual moat carp/gold carp grind in Windurst. However, the bite rate for sandfish seemed just as bad as gold carp. Not worth it when you consider that sandfish sell for 53 gil and gold carp sell for 675 and both provide the same skillups. You can also catch these with a sabiki rig, however this is totally not worth it as you won't be catching moat carp at the same time and the bite rate for the sabiki rig with these fish is even worse than with insect balls. Over all you'll catch less and you'll miss out on a fish that's actually wirth somthing at the same time.

They do provide a +3 DEX, however if you have 21 cooking you're better off catching pipira in Windurst and making roast pipira out of them for +3 DEX -1 MND (they sell pretty well too). At the fishing skill required for sandfish you'll be catch far more Pipira as they are a much lower skill fish.

i just pulled up 3 sandfish with sabiki rig in the little lake in rabao. Its earthsay, 10:00, waning gibbous. Bite rate is pretty low but i guess pullin up multiples is nice eh
36+4 fishing, composite rod

I sold 1 stack at auction for 6000. They sell to the vendor for 58g. I haven't been able to sell anymore for that price. It hasn't been used for Guild Points yet... so I don't know why the person bought it. haha

you can get these in eastern altapa desert and Rabao with little worm, worm lure and insect ball.

Mithran, Lu shang, carbon and composite rods only.
