Overview
The Golden Carp is a rare legendary fish found in the Pailune region of Crimson Desert. It is a golden variant of the common Carp, distinguished by its shimmering scales and much higher value. Like all legendary fish, the Golden Carp sells for approximately 10 silver, placing it among the most lucrative catches in the game.
Where to Catch
The Golden Carp is found on a small lake located to the east of the Argent Peaks in the Pailune region. Pailune is the cold, mountainous northwestern region of Pywel, so players should prepare for challenging terrain when traveling to this fishing spot. The lake is relatively secluded, and reaching it may require navigating mountain paths. Once the species is registered in the Knowledge Codex, its location appears on the map for future reference.
Uses
Selling: Sells for approximately 10 silver at any vendor. One of the best fish to catch purely for profit.
Cooking: Can be cleaned into Fish Fillet for cooking recipes that restore health and stamina.
Knowledge: Registers a Knowledge Codex entry in the Bestiary under Aquatic Animals.
Tips
Pailune's mountains are cold and potentially dangerous. Bring adequate supplies and watch for hostile wildlife like moose and bears.
The Argent Peaks are a notable landmark in Pailune, making the lake relatively easy to locate once you are in the region.
