Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers. Patch 1.1.3 adds bait display after a first kill in Fishipedia; use your current game to check a returning catch.
Stay with the ordinary Scientific setup
Oarfish is an ordinary fish in the Volcano roster. The recorded tool is the Fishing Rod and the bait is Scientific Lure, with no boss or quest qualifier.
The Fish Bucket and whale setup belong to the finale. They are not the recorded route for an Oarfish collection gap.
Use the middle value as a reference
Oarfish’s recorded base is 1,450 coins. That is 90 more than Blobfish and 50 less than either Anglerfish or Stonefish.
These gaps are small compared with the overall step from the Rocks tier to the Volcano tier. Plan a haul around actual catches and expenses rather than treating one named species as a guaranteed income rate.
