Perch: location, bait and collection notes

Perch uses Beginner Lure on Forest Island and has an 18-coin recorded base. Check it separately from Triggerfish, which shares both the lure tier and value.

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.

One lure, separate checklist entries

Perch belongs to the Forest Island Beginner Lure pool with the Fishing Rod. It is a separate creature from Triggerfish even though the two share the same listed base value.

When you review the Forest section of your collection, check names rather than marking every similarly valued catch as complete.

Use the eighteen-coin reference

The recorded base is 18 coins. That is 4 above Salmon and 6 below Goldfish, before sale modifiers are applied.

These comparisons help explain different shop offers for ordinary catches, but do not tell you which species appears most often. Keep actual catch frequency separate from the base-value table.
