Ok, I'll see what I can put together.

In the meantime, I was looking at the zone/fish list again:

	
butcher		Saltwater Seaweed	
firiona		Saltwater Seaweed	
oot		Saltwater Seaweed	
timorous	Saltwater Seaweed

Saltwater Seaweed is certainly fishable in OoT from what we've seen. The earliest evidence for it appearing in Timorous Deep that I've come across so far is from Nov2001, shortly after the Nov. 7 patch.

Last night I was fishing on the dock in Timorous Deep, near the ogres, waiting for the boat to come and take me to Overthere, when lo and behold, on my line I caught what I am pretty sure was this. It looked like a pouch, and it was No Drop. I didn't know what it was until just now. Anyhow, these apparently can be found in Timorous Deep also.

Saltwater Seaweed now in TD...?

Was working my SK's fishing up while waiting on the Kunark boat, on Ogre Isle, when what appears on my cursor but a Saltwater Seaweed! And then, with a full stack of bait, I proceed to fish up 3 more (!) Egads! Now I have to hold them, get my brewing up and then get some Seafoam to make temper for my Human Cleric.

Or maybe I missed the addition... I certainly missed the boat...

The patch did mess with forage and fish tables, so there's a good chance it really was added then. Timorous Deep was one of the original zones with special catches. It seems odd that Timorous Tuna would be documented for so long, but not the seaweed.

As for it being fishable in Butcherblock or Firiona Vie, I've seen no mention of that in-era. Really the only thing I found, even out-of-era, was from the live Allakhazam page for Saltwater Seaweed. Interestingly, there is further comment of it being fishable in Timorous Deep, but still no player comment of it coming from BB or FV.

The oldest archived version of the page I could find that included all four zones was from 2002 (Last updated: Thu Sep 19 18:52:47 2002). The page also includes the following:

Fished in any ocean zone.

This is definitely not true and calls the zone information into question, in my opinion.

A modern capture of EQTraders (the live site has been having db issues) only lists Saltwater Seaweed being fished in Ocean of Tears and Timorous Deep.
