When fishing for oily blackmouth in various places, you always catch alot of alot of the raw albacore which I usually use for improving my cooking skill. The other day while posting auctions for my stacks of oily blackmouths, I inadvertently put a stack of 20 raw albacore up for auction. I was surprised when collecting my mail, as I had made 30s for the sale of the albacore. While averaging about one gold a stack for the blackmouths and firefins. With the typical catch ratios of three or four albacore for every blackmouth or firefin, this makes the albacore almost as valuable for sale as the other fish.
Then in IF the other day, I spotted a collection officer requesting cooked albacore for the war effort and rewarding you with 10 commendations and boxes of war supplies. I also think they were looking for another type of common fish but can't remember what it was. So, obviously people are buying them for the faction rep increases they can recieve.
So, I've started to market albacore and increased my profit margin on my fishing skill. Try it you might find a market for some of those so called junk fish. Or at least save them and get the commendations and rep increases for yourself.
