Just as a fun fyi, I decided to keep track of my success/line break rate on gugs before and after I upgrade feet to waders. Currently without waders and using the +1 feet I'm at

Gugs
WITH SUPPORT
Catch - 155
Break - 70
Lack of skill - 0
Catch Rate: 68.8%

For awhile it was sticking around 66%, but I've had a lucky streak as of late so I'm guessing it'll dip back down at somepoint. Anyways I have 2 more weeks or so until I finish waders so it'll be cool to compile data and see how much the +1 skill changes my success rate.

Also, where does the data with an asterisks on Wiki come from that says paid support is +2? I've asked here before but no one can tell me why it's +2 not +3? Can an old fisherman who was fishing before the change confirm that it was +2 because of how it affected their recast?

[cdgreg]

Whoo thought of a way today to determine if paid support is +2 or +3. I'm pretty busy the first part of this week but will keep everyone updated on progress.

During the old method of fishing where every 10 levels reduced your cast time by 1 second, a test was run where you could see how long it took between casts. That's where the +3 came from.

For those of you ultra old fishers, it was on the LisaArndt site which is now defunct.

Today will put me about 15k from Rumors :D


SOOOOOO CLOSE

[nitsuj]

btw just wanna post this

funny to see ALL my suspected fish botters stopped fishing activities altogether, alongside with their mules

OMG ANYONE KNOW WHY?!

same. I'm the only one in Nash for my daily fishing adventure that I recognize from "the usual crew".

I assumed it would be +3, but wiki has it at +3

Synthesis Image Support - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

# For all guilds except fishing, advanced image support raises your skill by 3 and will last a duration of 3 Vana'diel hours and 20 Vana'diel minutes (8 minutes Earth time).
# For the fishing guild, advanced image support raises your skill by 2 and lasts for 2 hours Earth time.Verification Needed

Anyways since I'm home and not posting from my phone the test I want to run is determine how many levels above cap it takes for auto-depletion to kick in. I'll then manipulate gear/MH/support to verify or debunk a few things. #1 Whether paid support is +2 or +3, and secondly the hearsay about multiple levels of water energy via MH.

I wonder if there's some kind of test we're missing to test your current skill level, anyone with a lower level fishing mule or something that can test how long it takes between a cast and a "Something caught the hook!" Message?

Mayahsp every 10 levels is -1 to the wait time or something like that, cause I swear I had to wait a lot longer between hooks at lv 1 compared to now in the 90s...

Seems random to me, sometimes they're fast, other times I'm waiting awhile.

I think that is completely random.

So new MMM for fishers, finally an addition to the system I am actually interested in (besides my 0/too many on Kogglemander). And this looks quite sexy:

From the looks of the text it's active when you have fishing support, so basically a 2hour lasting Penguin ring. DO WANT!

[mdkuser]

fuck yeah... and no charges bullshit..

[Not Kuno]

First I'm kinda happy that they're adding it. But I'm also really pissed that they do this after I spent a ton of time trying to get Penguin rings. Assholes.

I am still shocked at this.
GREAT !!
Gotta do MMM now...

[Seraph]

Dammit. That might actually be worth wasting hours, and hours, and hours of time trying to get. /wrists

[dejet]

~_~ if i did not give my account away with my E rod I might of spent time making a group or soloing it. Ah well still might aim to get it Im fishing for a 2nd E rod now on my mule account I did not give away hehe that should be fun.

Lol I hate the Ferry so much right now... GP is Titanictus, so I hop over to go fish and I get pirates to and from Mhaura and Selbina. ._. Least I have enough Zombies to do two rounds of GP later.

Edit: 3rd pirate ride attack. >.> Seriously, they can go live again.

Find a friend that needs a Sand Charm and have them ride on the boat with you. 99.9% chance to never see pirates again.

This, seriously. When I needed it on main, I think I went a combined 32 hours before pirates finally hit (that wasn't all at once lol). On the upside, did score a mercurial kris, but honestly 32 hours? Shit was insane. Of course, I went 1/1 on rides/drop on mule.
