    i would still say average is 2/600, but if you go more than 600 to get 2 items, its prolly because of people like urat! XD

    I did indeed quest my lu. I bought about a third of the fish. Buying maybe 200 a day and I fished up nearly 550 a day.
    I could have just bought the rod at the time but wanted testimonial thing. Took me two weeks to get lu from start to finish. And two months for ebisu from after I got lu.

    Lus took me almost a year ._.

    Spent the whole first 5K or so just casually fishing up the carps every now and then. Finally after hitting close to the 6K mark and 50s in fishing I went hardcore at it, buying easily 25-30 stacks a day and fishing up a good 400-600 on my char and mules.

    One month later I had the lu shangs as I was dinging into shall shells right on time. I guess lady luck payed back all my hard work with the ebisu ^^

    Started fishing the moat carps, then decided that fishing nebs and selling them would get me 2x -3x the moats on the same number of fish caught.

    Did it back when you carps where 4k a stack and you got 100 gil per fish you turned in. Only 2800 for the loss. 3 stacks that I fished up paid for another stack of carps.

    I figured it was a good idea to devote my life to a video game for like 6 solid months.

    I was lucky enough to have 2 accounts of Christmas break to finish it up, too.

    fuck you zaldon
    Gotta love your fuck Zaldon when you average 259 fish on Arthars and 322 on Wife.

    I am 0/623 on Lik and 0/16 on Gugs (haven't started seriously on this)

    @ 259 or even @ 322 fish average I'd LOVE Zaldon.

    Guess it's "situational" as people like to say on some pieces of gear

    rofl, I position a laptop so I can see it out of the corner of my eye while I watch netflix. If I see a !!! I pause netflix and fish it. If its a ! I cancel/no bite and then I hit control Z since I bound /fish to it. If I had to focus on the PC while fishing lik/gugs I'd go insane.

    Kinda same thing, but youtube. I make my screen for ffxi really small and put it up in the corner of my window, just big enough to see the rod movements and fish hp, then have youtube in a window on other corner with it restored down and just big enough to see the video.

    Then I keep ffxi as the main window so I can fish while watching whatever, generally going through my naruto episodes ( almost caught up :3)

    Well, after recovering from that last blow, going 0/108 in a single session (totaling 0/374 now), I think I'm ready to give fishing gugrus another go. Seeing as how it's new moon tomorrow, and during a period of time I can dedicate solely towards fishing, we'll see what I can manage. *Probably* not going to wait for a "good moon phase" to turn them in, nor am I going to stock up 100+ fish this time around...

    Still haven't sold my blau dolch for fish money, though it's quite tempting. Raw gil wise, I'm in the low 100ks, so I'll keep that for bait/food expenses/anything else that comes up. I don't want to go completely broke trying to get this rod. Gugrus are going for 20k a pop still on the AH, and I only managed to lower that to 18k when I bought them from suppliers in bulk (admittedly, I didn't try very hard (or at all) to get that price down to 15k...I guess I'm uncomfortable with bartering ).

    If things get tough, and the blau has to go, I might do something like this: I'll give the supplier my blau dolch if either A. They give my the gugru that gets me my item, or B. They give me 150 gugru without getting me my item.

    I wouldn't mind giving up my blau even if it was just for one fish...if that one fish got me my ebisu, I'd be fine with it. And if I don't get my item within the 150 fish, it will have meant that I paid approximately 14,666g for each fish (according to Carbuncle prices). Suppose the downside to this type of deal is that it requires a lot of trust, as the supplier would have to trust me enough to give them the blau when the time came.
