When it comes to Gathering and Crafting, anything that's Lv.50* or Lv.50** just means the item or recipe's level is beyond 50 (aka: difficult).
Well look at that. I have no idea what it means.
Yumizuno is optimal.
Lv.48 Goldsmithing

Can anyone give some solid information about the Tiny Tortoise? We know the location and the bait, but is there a level requirement or a perception check to be able to fish it up? I am currently 23 with 82 gathering/74 perception. I have been fishing there for about 100 throws with the Floating Minnow bait and haven't gotten the turtle. If it takes more than 100 casts, I am ok with that, but wasting time there if I don't have the ability, not so much. There are two spots by the Salt Strand. The more southern spot I can fish at and have been, but the spot a little above that requires a higher level fishing. I am starting to think that is the one with the turtle.
The spot is smack-dab in the middle of the round shallow area where most of the crabs hang out.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think Tiny Tortoise counts as a Lv.50 or Lv.50* item (it can be found on the very last page of fish). I would double-check but I'm currently at work.
Anyone who has caught it could check their fishing log and let you know.
Considering BTN and MIN's minion equivalents can only be found at Lv.50 special nodes, I wouldn't expect Tiny Tortoise to be caught below Lv.46 FSH or so.
At level 43 with 163 gathering and 129 perception I did not get it in 2 hours, just as a standard to work off of.
I did however catch a level 50 star fish so I have no idea how it works really.
just caught the legendary fish in sagolii dunes at lv39 :D
I looked it up in a few places and I think Tiny Tortoise is indeed a Lv.50 "fish."
However, Northern Krill is another confirmed compatible bait for it. Reports regarding night vs day are all over the place so I don't believe that has an effect on catch rate.
It might just be me, but there was a sandstorm, or really foggy in Sagolii desert and my HQ rate seemed to plummit, only 3 hq in 30 mins
shrimp/krill cage feeders 1 fish per use? well im never using those again...
EDIT: I see that the desc says they attract fish, i guess they are conditions for catching certain fish
From what it sounds like. all the shiny fishing spots has certain items you can fish up at lv50 for your AF, going on what botany/mining has to do for their AF
interesting, an item? i haven't gotten any items
where did you see this info?
The Salt Strand shows a shiny fishing spot, and the only "odd" item there is the Tiny Tortoise minion
Hidden Falls in easter la noscea has shiny fish, but i didn't catch anything abnormal. i have completed that spot as well.
was talking to this 50 weaver who was tellin me about how miner/bot has to gather items from special nodes at 50 to get their AF, i would assume we also have something like that
EDIT: btw, weaver makes our AF pants, needs Hippogryph leather, undyed felt, twin thread
as of now i am level 50! (adamatoise server first?)
EDIT: would you believe i 1/1 1/1 1/1 the marlin for lv50 quest? amazing.
