    I've only done ~4 locations but it seems you can get through 2/3 of the fishing log and then you get left with 1 or 2 stubborn blanks. Like in Limsa Lower, I had two blanks until I caught an anchovy then mooched it to catch a Blue Octopus. The other one I think must be from using mooch with the ocean cloud (at work, forget its exact name).

    They need to add a tacklebox; FSH just blows up your inventory between all the bait and random fish + HQ fish taking up another spot.

    At work, but I plan on spending a lot of time tonight fishing.

    Keep in mind, a lot of blanks are either legendary fish or fish that require mooching. It's my birthday so I'm not writing shit up today but I will try to get a good guildleve list going come Sunday afternoon.

    May be misremembering the spelling, but I was able to catch River Crab and La Nocean Perch in Woad Whisper Canyon upon hitting 15.

    How are you using Krill Cage Feeders Wulf? Aren't they 23 or something? Legacy? (Idk how that shit works even though I have a leg char, never used it in ARR.) Couple more fish to list, but I've pretty much stopped exploring so I don't lose out on the XP from first time catch.

    Coerthas - Coerthas Central - Coerthas River & Dragonhead Latrines - Striped Goby, Rainbow Trout

    Eastern Shrouds temple of the twelve- lvl20 fishing hole freshwater, River Crab and Acorn Snails was picking up with lvl15 freshwater bait

    Was the job trait to detect low level watering hole working? I never noticed a difference discovering new ones before or after getting it.

    No I don't think it is.

    I'm 50 FSH legacy with Rod of the Luminary! The Krill Cage Feeders are expensive (~480G per and it's not a lure) and the fishing motion is really different than most baits. It's kind of tough to tell when you have a fish on the line, particularly when you are stealthed.

    Mooch is so damn random as well. I've gone two hours without it procing once. From what I've seen and read:

    A) Only certain types of fish are moochabe
    B) The fish has to be HQ to be mooched
    C) If A and B are met, you have a random chance of mooch procing

    I caught and HQ anchovy, mooch proced, then caught a blue octopus. I proceeded to catch several other HQ achovies with no mooch. I have caught dozens of HQs of other types of fish as well, but only had a handful of mooches.

    If you don't have the trait for the requisite fishing hole threshold, you get the message "You see something swimming down below, but can't fish" or something like that. I was cruising around with a LV ~5 FSH and I'm 50 and we came to a fishing hole that I could fish at, but he could not and he got the message. I'm pretty sure it's the missing traits.

    Pill bugs

    The 2nd quest for fishing asks for pill bugs for bait ... where do I get that bait?

    I think it's the weight of the fish that procs mooch? Every time I caught a cloud jellyfish that weighed over 10.0 mooch would proc. and I'd pull up blue octopuses in LL.

    Each spot seems to have 1, sometimes 2, fish that you can mooch with, but they must be HQ. Ilm measurement does not seem to matter from what I've seen.

    For example, if you're fishing in Mor Dhona, HQ Silverfish is the only catch there that you can begin to mooch with. They will yield Assassin Bettas or Goldfish (perhaps a 3rd mystery fish, unless that's a double-mooch only).

    Reading back through the thread with reports of HQs not activating mooch... I either haven't noticed or that just hasn't happened to me.

    It's in the first post. "Pill Bug - Buyable - Fieldcraft Vender in Lower Limsa"

    Zetanio: When should we expect this data you've been keeping from us?

    Basically I'm an idiot because I couldn't log in on Sunday at all due to full server.

    I'm trying to get a database together right now.

    Question for you crazy fishers. I only got to cast my line about 20 times right outside the guild, so I don't have much experience, but does the size of the fish ever vary? I saw that it told me how long each fish was that I reeled in, but it was always the same value for the same type of fish. I was kinda disappointed, but maybe the lowbie stuff (anchovies / kelp / shrimp / etc.) don't have size variants?

    Also, if size does vary... does it even matter? Fish stack, so surely it can't keep track of which fish is what size.

    I'm pretty sure when fish size passes a certain value it is an HQ fish. I don't remember checking the sizes too much though because I didn't really get a chance to do a lot of fishing yet.

    If I get out of this dead-end 9-to-5 in the near future, I want to work on a little graphic fishing log guide... something that looks like this, just a lot cleaner and with actual icons and perhaps color-coding if some fish actually prefer certain baits but can be caught with a few.



    Does that make sense? My only concern is that the list of usable baits at each fishing location is likely to be rather large... My inventory was a page and a half of just NPC-purchased baits/lures by the end of phase-4. No crafted lures included.
