    Does anyone know of a full list of all fishing holes out there somewhere? I'm still missing a few that must be pretty damn small/hidden. Namely, 2-3 in Coerthas and a couple in Southern Thanalan... then there's the obvious ones I can't reach yet out at the Isles of Umbra in Western La Noscea.

    Speaking of, does anyone known anything about being able to ferry out to the Isles of Umbra from Aleport yet? Seems odd they would have achievements (fishing log/la noscea exploration/etc.) that are currently impossible to complete due to not being able to access a large chunk of the map.

    Can anyone confirm that fish that don't have "Crafting Material" in their description can be safely sold to npcs? I'm paranoid and have been holding onto all of them.

    Yes, they are not used (yet) for anything.

    I liquidated all my non-HQr fish under 30 today due to being broke as fuck.

    Zetanion answered my question but an example would be Copperfish. FFXIVDB says it is a Crafting Material but in game it doesn't say crafting material anywhere on the item.

    Where can I get fieldcraft leves for fishing? every time I go to the NPC it says "There are no guildleves available at this time".

    Am I missing something, do I need to do a trial fieldcraft leve i've perhaps missed or something? :/

    I believe not every camp provides Tradescraft or Fieldcraft leves for every class.

    I would point you to this thread, but I just realized it has no info for Fishing other than Lv.45+... I could have sworn it had others.

    To look for them yourself, you have to unlock the leves for each camp with an appropriate-level DoW/DoM via the "Leves of ___" quests at each one. Once they are unlocked, you can check their stock of Fieldcraft leves to see if you just wasted your time or not.

    I can fish up literally anything under level 40 now. If you need anything, just ask. I have a huge HQ stockpile sitting around.

    Also, dunefishing is fucking awesome. GREAT exp as soon as you can get out there.

    Yeah dunefishing is great. The only problem is there are a couple of fish you won't be able to reel in unless you have HQ gear or materia slotted. That's the issue I'm having at 35 anyways.

    Hmm thanks, been wondering where to find river crabs. I got a guildleve for them from Swiftperch, not sure you can actually find them in that area, so I'll check out Upper LN.

    I should be 50 fishing in the next 2 days. I'm 90% finished with finding spots. The only spots left are skyfishing with a few exceptions. Over 100 unique fish and 5 Legendary fish so far.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I'm curious what your fishing hole lists look like for Southern Thanalan and Coerthas. I'm just assuming Western La Noscea can't be completed until we get access to the Umbral Isles.

    I need it to be the weekend again so I have time for more than a handful of MSQs per night.

    I'm almost certain I burned up my last couple krill feeding cages (because I thought they were damn lures!) when I caught them.

    I'll double-check in a few hours if I'm still uncertain~
