Where to Use the Great White Whisker

Once you have the Great White Whisker, head to the Feeding Grounds Sculptor’s Idol in the Fountainhead Palace area. Here, you’ll find the NPC Pot Noble who served as the carp’s caretaker.

2. Present the Great White Whisker: Hand over the whisker to reveal the truth about the Great Colored Carp.
3. Receive Your Reward: In return for the whisker, the Pot Noble will give you Divine Grass, a rare healing item that fully restores your Vitality and cures all status abnormalities.

What Happens Next?

After handing over the Great White Whisker, follow these steps to complete the story arc:

1. Rest at the Idol: Use the Sculptor’s Idol to rest and reset the area.
2. Return to the Pot Noble’s Location: Upon returning, you’ll find that the Pot Noble has passed away.
3. Meet His Daughter: His daughter will now be at the site, mourning her father.
4. Eavesdrop and Reflect: You can eavesdrop on her for additional lore insights about the Pot Nobles and the carp.
5. Claim Treasure Carp Scales: After the scene, you can loot the Pot Noble’s body to receive 4 Treasure Carp Scales — valuable currency used for purchasing rare items.

Note: While looting may seem disrespectful, it’s a practical choice for players looking to complete their collection of rare items.
