About Rainbow crab (3)

"You'll need something to break through that shell."

Rainbow crab (3) is one of three colour variants of the trapped rainbow crab introduced with the Sailing update, caught at the Crown Jewel via crab trapping at 77 Hunter for 216 xp per catch. The three colour variants are functionally identical and exist for visual flavour; each shelled crab is broken open with a knife to extract raw meat or further processed into rainbow crab paste for downstream cooking and brewing chains.

Market Strategy

  • Sailing-era Hunter throughput keeps daily supply consistent
  • Three-way colour split keeps each variant cheaper than the pool average
  • Downstream meat and paste demand props up the base crab price
  • Niche short-term flips around Hunter xp event weekends
