Fishing Spots and Catch Rates
Catch chances and quantities for Moapa Dace depend on landing a good or critical catch during the fishing minigame. The following table details every fishing spot where Moapa Dace can be caught, including district area, node tier, minigame difficulty, catch chances, drop quantities, and respawn timer:
| Fishing Spot | District & Area | Tier | Minigame Difficulty | Normal Catch | Good Catch | Critical Catch | Quantity | Respawn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forest Fishing Spot (Uncommon) | The Hanging Gardens (Forest) | Uncommon | Medium (3 rings) | None (0%) | 75.0% (1) / 25.0% (2) | 100.0% (2) | 1-2 | 30s |
Basic normal catches never yield fish at these spots, so landing at least a good catch is required to obtain Moapa Dace. Each node respawns on a 30-second timer once depleted.
Research Bundles and Uses
The in-game item description reads: “This little omnivorous fish has evolved to thrive in warm thermal rivers and tributaries”. Moapa Dace is required for the Murky Waters bundle at the Central Lake Research Station, which needs 1 Moapa Dace to complete. No other quests, recipes, or inspiration goals currently require Moapa Dace in the game files.
Contribution Bins
In addition to research stations, Moapa Dace is requested in Hanging Gardens fish bin turn-ins. One daily request calls for 3 Moapa Dace alongside 2 Leafy Sea Dragon. A second daily request asks for 3 Moapa Dace alongside 3 Bia Goby. Hanging Gardens contribution bins refresh their turn-in requests every 24 hours, so individual bundles appear only on certain days.
