Fishing

[vagus]

I have been told by a fishing friend that using a rumble pad makes catcin Lik's just a bit easier and penguin ring not needed. He says all you need is albatross ring, 95 fishing and a pad. He's helped 3 LS mates get Ebisu and was one of the first NA's to get Ebisu on Odin. Laftis you are fishing god! I'm gonna go and pick up a pad today and test it out.

Is there any safe spot to catch Shall Shells in Buburimu? I recently rerolled and just finished Lu shang so my highest is 20 at the moment

Maybe on the seashore ? Never really tried there.

[pies]

I thought you could only catch them from the cliffs?

I said "maybe" and "never really tried"...I suggested this because I thought it was worth a try

Ah, entirely innocent question, I just remember something on titanicus about only being able to catch them from the cliff. I haven't personally tried yet. I'll go exploring tomorrow :bagel:

Do what the rmt do, pos behind mhaura to do it. but no, I don't think there is a safe spot to fish shall shells. It honestly isn't that hard to lvl a char up high enough to not get agro though.

I know, I just got sick of fishing forever and bought the last 1500 carp so I just wanted to get some lewt back before I started levelling

1/10 on Silk!
Still only 95 fishing though.

Half-way to Ebisu ! Good luck with the other item ^^

In other news yesterday I finally got some skillups after 30+ stacks of Black Soles, 200+ Giant Squids, 20+ stacks of Bastore Breams and 120+ Grimmonites without any skillup at all despite the constant use of the skillup ring. Got .2 .2 on a single Sole, and .2 .1 a few minutes later on another Sole. I love the double skillups =)

Some guy went 1/6 lik 1/1 gugru recently according to a post on titanictus. ;x

Over time, Ebisu doesn't sound like an incredible accomplishment anymore :/

Eh, the same could be said for a 74 war who gets a lucky Ridill on his first kill. Or someone who HQ's an adaberk on their first try at 96.

Ok maybe neither of those is an "incredible accomplishment", but really there's not much in the game that is. Fact is that Ebisu is still the relic of fishing, anyone who gets one should be proud and not worry about how others got theirs.

It was initially a very hard quest, back when the only known way to catch Lik/Gugru (forgot which one it is) required a specific bait you could only get by having a Sea Zombie gutted by Zaldon. Meat balls makes it a tad "easier".

Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that completing the quest and having an Ebisu rod is something amazing, and it sure is something to be proud of, game-wise. Relic of fishing is a pretty good metaphor, actually ^^

[Raineer]

Meat balls makes it a tad "easier".

Yeah, and I know that's quite an understatement. Also the fact the entire thing can be AH'd (see: scratches) does remove some of the 'aura' from the accomplishment. I prefer to ignore those people

[vegetaa]

I prefer to ignore those people

That's some kind of consensus in this thread =)

[SamanosukeShiva]

hey FD, if you pay me, i'd stand next to u and fix the rod ;D

[Minions]

one guys 1/1400 and 1/1000+ on both items.... so if the game hates you... have fun.

How much? >.>

Todays guild item is takitaro, which although I've been 100 for years I have never tried to catch. It's listed in davoi and mis. coast. Is there a prefered place of those two? What is the location? I can wear down ryugu 100% of the time w/o rings, if I can do that do I need to worry about burning ring charges on these? I heard they were kinda fierce. Also, is the location in an aggro zone to 75?
