Oh boy, let me tell you about my obsessive three-day treasure hunt for that slippery Fish No. 70 – the mythical Draco Cobia! When the 'Old Man and the Whale' event dropped last month, I thought Riccioli Island's shimmering waters would be paradise. Instead, it became my personal Atlantis-sized headache. Seven untrackable fish? Seriously? That's like asking me to find seven specific grains of sand on Miami Beach! But the promise of 200 Fame points and 20,000 Fishery Coins had me hooked harder than a catfish in a Louisiana bayou. And Rachel? Bless her pixelated heart – she made zipping across those turquoise waves feel like riding a dolphin-powered jet ski. Still, without proper tracking, I felt like Magellan without a compass... only with more dramatic sighing.

🗺️ Phase One: The Map Fragment Fiasco

First lesson learned: nothing in WuWa is straightforward. To catch Draco Cobia, you need FOUR map fragments scattered like breadcrumbs across Riccioli. My journey began at Port of Riccioli Dock, where I immediately got distracted by seashells (they shimmer, okay?). After facepalming at my own shiny-object syndrome, I headed west and found Toretto – this crusty sailor who talks slower than dial-up internet. His 'Sailor's Treasure' side quest involved:

• Delivering soggy letters

• Fighting off giant hermit crabs (who knew they'd hit so hard?)

• Solving a riddle about "the tide's morning tears" (poetic for dew on rocks, apparently)

Completing it rewarded me with Fragment #1, and I swear Toretto winked like he knew the torment ahead.

🦀 Crab Shrine Safari

Finding the next fragments required befriending crab deities – because why not? Each shrine demanded three bell crabs as tribute. Pro tip: Always carry crab treats! Here's where I nearly rage-quit:

Fragment	Location	My Comedy of Errors
#2	Northwest of Port Beacon	Fell off cliff twice chasing crabs
#3	Southeast of Helm Village	Got stuck in coral for 10 minutes
#4	Serene Bay's northwestern cliff	Accidentally offered seaweed instead of crabs

That third fragment hunt near Helm Village was pure slapstick – I must've tripped over five virtual rocks while crabs mockingly scuttled away. When the final chest materialized, I did a victory dance that scared my real-life cat off the couch.

🎣 The Grand Fishing Farce

Combining the fragments created the Mysterious Complete Treasure Map (dramatic name for a pixelated scroll). Using it triggered the "Legend: Leviathan Loyalist" request. The marker led me to a secluded cove where Draco Cobia swam with infuriating elegance. After 30 failed casts, I realized:

1. This fish hates regular bait

2. It dodges lures like a ninja

3. My fishing rod groaned like my soul

When I FINALLY reeled it in? Pure ecstasy! The rewards were sweet, but delivering it to Riccioli Dock felt anticlimactic – just a curt nod from the quest giver. Really? After all that, not even a virtual parade?

So here I sit, saltwater in my digital boots, wondering: do we chase these absurd quests for the loot... or just to prove to ourselves that we can conquer beautifully ridiculous challenges? Maybe the real Draco Cobia was the friends we annoyed complaining to during the grind. 😉
