If you’re looking to catch the Virid Bowfin, you need to head to the Windward Plains region of the game. Specifically, you will have to reach Area 14 or Area 13 of this location. There, you can spot the Virid Bowfin swimming along the shallow edges of the water. You have two options to catch this fish:

  • Using the fishing net: If you want the fastest possible way to catch this fish, we recommend using the fishing net. As the Virid Bowfin swims in the shallow end of the water, you can clearly spot it and cast the net accordingly. However, if you miss, the endemic life form could escape.
  • Using the fishing rod: Using the fishing rod is the slower process of getting your hands on this specific fish.

The Virid Bowfin is a fish that does not offer much usability in the game. You cannot use it in cooking recipes or sell it to traders across the game. However, when you catch one, you get +5 guild points. Guild points are specialized in-game currencies that let you do a lot of things.

For instance, you’ll require guild points to repair or set up Pop-up camps across your play time. Also, you can spend the points to complete High Rank investigations. So, if you’re low on Guild Points, catching the Virid Bowfin is a good way to farm the necessary points.
