"Crab Masters" (or How to Go a-Crabbin')

Howdy, fishin' buddies. This week on Crab Masters, we're gonna show ya how them crabs is really bitin' down in them waters off Gael Sarren.

Well, first yer gonna need some scuba gear. You can get two full sets of the stuff at the shipyard. Give these to yer best fighter and any other member of your fishin' crew who is able to cast the Spirit Eye spell.

Once you get out on the dock and equip with the scuba gear, cast the Spirit Eye and call up the little map. You'll find that any living creature appears as a moving red dot on that map... guess what? You've got your own Fishing Sonar! Crank up your "Spawn" setting to high, then jump into the water, head to the bottom and go after 'em.

Most of the time you'll run into fish, sharks, eels and baracudas, but after a couple of hours of cruising the bottom you should run into enough crabs who drop shell to equip your entire party and then some.

Good fishin', ya'll.

Got someone with high Scout skill?

Drive around in the boat exploring the area; keeping the scout active, you'll get messages like, "A Dartha Eel has been here..." and "A Crab O The Sea has been here..."; when the latter message appears, stop the boat and dive.

Another hint, for the impatient like myself: there's absolutely no reason to take your *entire* party along with you to Collassium, so you don't need /that/ many sets of SCUBA gear; make sure you've got at least one character with a storm spell (or two), 'cause that Mother Crab can be difficult to take out in hand-to-hand combat. But other than the Mother Crab, there's absolutely nothing difficult in that city, and it is, in spite of her, the easiest dungeon in the game.
