Fishing

[Clyne]

Anyone found the quest for Trainee Spectacles yet?

Haven't tried it yet...blm from Sandy seem to have the easiest time completing the best quests from WotG.

Currently doing it, I ran all the way to jugner when I noticed the H-5 is through Ranperre's Tomb entrance. I dont have a BLM. QQ so Much running around.

Wiki reports Ahtapot being gutted for mildewey and decayed ingots. Not sure what those are for, but it seems like there could be more types of ingots you can get from ahtapots. Probably a gold one.

I tried turning in the only fish I have on hand (Gigant Squid), but he wouldn't accept it.

Ingots are from Synergy crafting.

Mildewey Ingot = Bronze Ingot
Decayed Ingot = Brass Ingot

Or it could be the other way around, who knows.

The fishing MMM gave me a creel of moat carp from the hoard box with 6 CC. Using it gave me 10 moat carps. The update said new rewards for Aquatic Depopulation Team have been adjusted.

I'd love some more info on this, as I just started doing MMM 3 days before the patch.

I was getting 6 Moat carp from the Elvaan and 1 red terrapin + 2 shining trout from the taru (which occasional maze rune)

[Myriads]

Me and my fishing Friend Krish did 2 runs last night of MMM, and we each got a Moat Carp Creel in the box with 6 CC points. His had 11 moats in it, mine had 10. Nothing else of note in the runs.

Just went to trade a Matsya...and he doesn't take it.

Thanks SE

Ok so I just decided to start playing again with this update after a 1yr break. I sold all my equipment off right before I quit and I am ultra broke now. I was thinking of picking up fishing to get back on my feet gilwise. I quit as only a level 10 fisher, and I started reading up on it and someone mentioned fishing in Nashmau all the way to 90 or something... is that really the way to go, or would I be better off doing more traditional routes?

Any advice you guys could give me would be awesome, thanks!

Is this the same price from Hades? Same guy in South Lake Carroll?

anyways.....i'd recommend at your lvl fishing up Nebimonites since you want profit and money.... while npcing fish can make some money overtime and without having to put up on AH, you can start with nebs for 8-12k a stack depending on your server...vs 7200 a stack of merc to npc and harder to reel in. I assume you don't have a Lu's to start with correct?

I'd also be interested in it. Am also level 10 fishing and just got my Trainee's spectacles. Usually I fish Moat Carps when I am bored and to get a bit of gil.

Thought I might level fishing some more in order to catch other stuff to sell for some profit. No Lu Shangs or Ebisu naturally, so would appreciate tips on what and where and what Rod to use.

Just did MMM fishing with a friend. Instead of the usual 6 moat carps we got a creel of moat carps worth 8. Also got runes 38 and 39. We usually got 10-12 marbles and this time we got 24. The CC chest (level 2) gave 24 marbles to my friend.

On my run we got rune 44, creel of moat carp (again 8 carp), and 17 marbles. CC chest (level 3) gave me another creel of moat carp (8 carp), 42 marbles, and .1 fishing.

Every CC chest I've opened has given me .1 fishing. Probably because my fishing is only level 33.

Hmmm, I must have known you! Why yes that is the very Price.

I have no Lu Shangs but I am currently 2,000~ out of 10,000 for the quest, I figure that would be a good start? And where/what rod/what lure would I best catch these Nebimonites?

Halcyon Rod & crayfish balls on the ferry between mhaura <-> selbina. These will take your fishing to 29 if you go all the way to the cap.

Just did three runs, each of which had 2x Creels in the main chest (from moat carp elf). 2 people had full 6 C.C. points, which had runes + skill + 1x Creel. I only had 3 C.C. points, which just got me marbles + skillup. Really curious if anyone has tried the other prize-fisher-uppers. There's no other creels (assuming forest carp creel is for salinity shift), but new prizes sounds fun!

Also, there definitely seems to be a big increase in marble rewards.

edit: Creels were between 6 and 12 carp. At least 3 gave us a full stack.

Shrimp lures work as well, but you make sure to watch for noble lady they seem to break my line sometimes. Cap is also 27 for nebimonites.

I did a MMM Aquatic run yesterday, 0 CC, solo, with Supreme Might equipped. No other runes. Leppi-Reppi pulled up the box at the end. Yield was a Brigands (yay), Rune 096 (Sure Synthesis), and his usual fish. 22 marbles.

The copied maze I was using was as follows, and I'm looking to build my own maze to hang on it.

Any opinions on this one I was using, and how I could improve it when I make my own?

Maze Rune 111 - "Goldagrik's Generosity" - The president of Moblin Maze Mongers will provide you fishing support
Maze Rune 015 - "Motion" - Fish will put up a spirited fight
Maze Rune 094 - "Lost and Found" - Treasure chests in this maze will be affected in a particular way...
Maze Rune 019 - "Weakness" - Your opponent will being the match with a disadvantage
Maze Rune 020 - "Peon" - Your opponents will begin the match with a significant disadvantage
Maze Rune 104 - "Trial by Silence" - you will be unable to cast spells within the maze

edit: two more for sale right now, the following:

101, 085, 094, 019, 104, 103
vs
085, 104, 094, 019, 117

I'm wondering how to make the perfect one...

so was ahtapots the only fish added to Zaldon . . . ?

As expected, Merc. Spear looks to also come from gutting fish. Person is selling a bunch of cone calamary right before the spear sold, so it's probably a fish on the route.

Edit: The calamary sold before the update, but they might have had a bunch of other AU fish in their inventory when the update happened. Just a theory. But in the least, the person is a fisherman, and you can get merc sword from Zaldon, so...
