Even after all this time, I'd say the best way to go 96-100 is on the ferry. The reason is bite rate. Put a meatball on your hook and you will be getting about 6-10 possible skill up bites per ride. That's up to 30 per hour. No way will you get 30 lik to bite an hour. Cherax, same story from my experiance (although I hit 100 several fishing updates ago, that could have changed).

Cherak, Liks and especially Titans skilled me faster then Titanictus from what I remember. I remember getting .4 on a Titan once in the high 90s and the others are known for giving more then .1 in skill.

got this lil tidbit today finally after a string of shitty GP's, not sure if im going to make use of it yet since ive been hearing alot of horror stories about broken rods (i dont have ww)

might just cap out on soles (96) and stick around for a while.

Stamina drains faster, longer fishing time and possibly less fatigue.

Damnit ! Just when I finally convinced myself the Ebisu wasn't worth the effort and frustration to obtain it ><

Thanks for the informations though =)

PS : your sig is probably one of the best ffxi-related sigs I've seen ^^

can someone plz try to catch up w/e is in grauburg around the F-6 area. Im fishing on the river using every bait possible. I keep on getting a fish that is !!! and terrible feeling but it has snapped my line 30 times or so. I am 100 fishing + 2 using Ebisu Rod. So far i know meatballs work decent and minnows. This area is pretty cool, no monsters and filled pack with sprites. There is also a targetable item at the waterfall, i forget name of it now.

u cant catch something with ebisu and it keeps breaking ur line at 100+2?

sounds pretty epic

[spooky]

AAArrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! >_<;;

Stupid 3-eyed fish. Can't catch even one of these. Been fishing for like 2hrs... Are these just super rare or am I missing somthing? Using Lu's + Minnow at south Quifm.
Anyone got any tips for catching these? Q_Q

Ah, lol... Thanks for that info. ^^
That really needs to be noted in quides if there are differnet fish in the 2 areas south, normally it only says north or south. ._.

It was a Pirarucu.

The attributes for the "ebisu fishing rod" have once again been adjusted.

Better or worse?

[Oxx]

omg that explains everything!

[spooky]

omg that explains everything!

I was asking if someone could confirm if after this 2nd adjustment if it was made better or worse compared to first...

[vegetaa]

I'm far from having even started Ebisu quest so take my post with a huge grain of salt...but knowing S-E, they buffed the Ebisu a little bit too much during the WotG patch, so they adjusted it again (aka little nerf) in that last patch.

Spooky, are you gonna try and get Ebisu ?

[Pyree]

I would guess that it was slightly nerfed as well, although I'd like to hear from someone that actually has one.

I should be getting Serpent Rumors today, so let the fun begin!
