Yes i said FISHES!

so a some dude turned me onto fishing in the glacier for some mystery fish that NPCs for 11-12k. But thats all i was given befor he took off. My question is does anyone know what fish i am looking for and what skill level i need to catch it? Also do i need and KIs or a Lu Shangs?

You can get them with a Lu technically, but you're going to want to use an Ebisu rod.

you'll need at least lvl 90 fishing, an Ebisu Fishing Rod which will run you in the ballpark of 10 million, and Serpent Rumors KI which costs 95k GP, or about 6 weeks of turning in GP fish if you do it every day. Lu Shangs wont cut it on these fish, they'll break it every time you have a line snap which is a 1 in 3 chance. You'll also need to spend 150-200k in bait and fish for anywhere from 16-20 hours each day if you want to reach the 210 fatigue cap on them. Needless to say it's not recommended for everybody.

Level BLU and CW Burn trials for people. It's amazing what someone will pay to finish 300 kills in an hour or so.
