    FYI: Skilling up on Crescent Fish on lv0 Fishing skill mule for hours last night. I got a whole .1 skillup on ~150 casts, no actual catches, all were lost because they were too small. I guess if you're trying to bypass the "brand new character 10 fish per day limit" it's better than nothing, but no, not really.

    I'd rather fish up 10 moat carp on a new character and get .1 or .2 if lucky than take hours and hours to get .1 maybe... and release hundreds of rusty items and monsters.

    I had a new character collecting guild points in 3 days doing this. Getting to GP early and being able to turn in Lik/Gugrusaurus fast is nice and most likely the only things holding you back from a fast Ebisu.

    By the time I can get "normal" skillups on my mule, my main will be getting ebisu and I'll be able to fish up lik/gug for the mule then. I spent some time leveling the mule's whm up (the main goal for the character was a whm bitch, fishing was just a bonus, really) and running them all over getting OP's, tele crystals, fame, etc. If they were going to be a strict fishing only mule, I might have stuck out at Crescent Fish a bit longer. Getting .2 in ~15 hours of fishing was disheartening. I can't see getting to 28 at that rate in 3 days. I'm sure it was just a bad luck streak, though.

    Have no experience at all with fishing. If I were just to buy a Lu Shang's, how long would it take to get to the point where I could have a decent income? Do I need to get to a certain skill level first? etc.

    Any source for that? I have every single GP furniture and it didn't change the cap (that I remember anyway - haven't fished to cap in ages).

    78 and Ebisu, frankly. 142k a day in Nashmau/Talacca Cove, or Moat Caps or something if you want fast and meager profits with no skill-ups (somewhere around 165k a day on my server, if they successfully sell on the AH). It's faster to get 15 Hakuryu than it is to cap at Nashmau, and it at least extends profit beyond 165k if you have the time to fish more (though I'm not sure 17 Hakuryu is faster than 200 Moat Carps, frankly).

    I'll share my little guide for skill-ups that I've been telling friends recently, as this is how I did it on my new character. The guide is intended to skill-up off "Too small" catches. You may or may not reach cap in 24 hours of fishing, but even if you do, you'll gain much more skill than you would have fishing 200 straight. [Though not recommended til after the 2 weeks.]

    1-27:
    Mithran Fishing Rod
    Shrimp Lure
    North Gustaberg, just fish off the bridge just south of the Aby Grauberg Maw.
    Target: Tricolored Carp, Gold Carp

    27-56:
    Mithran Fishing Rod
    Shrimp Lure
    Windurst Woods, I just fished off one of the bridges near the fountain, probably does not matter.
    Target: Gold Carp [If it wasn't obvious, this is the only place that has Gold Carp but not Tricolored that you can also do with a lure.]

    56-69:
    Mithran Fishing Rod
    Fly Lure
    East Sarutabaruta (Lake)
    Target: Crescent Fish
    Mithran should be swappable for Composite, Clothespole, or SH. They will all give "Too small", and I don't know if there's a difference or not. I only say to use Mithran because I have experience using it. =P

    You could also, probably, skill to 99 off Pterygotus from 69 if you intend to get Ebisu without a Lu. As far as I know, they only break line on Halcyon/Composite, so you should be able to catch them and just bring a ton of Lugworms, even skilling off of the line breaks.

    With Ebisu I actually caught 211 (10 GP fish, 201 Cave Cherax) yesterday before I got zero bites some 40 casts in a row, and I've had other days where it just tanks at 209. I've got a stall, if that matters any (which I doubt).

    I turned in a fish for the contest then withdrew. I want to reuse that fish into the contest but it still has the information on it. Is it possible to remove the information?

    Not afaik. Even if you sell it on the AH the tag remains.

    I detailed this phenomenon some time ago on the forums here. On a few different occasions I fished up 213 fish one day and then 207 the next. This was before I had any furniture. It seems to be self-correcting to an average of 210, though what causes it is unknown to me. It seems like a glitch. I'll be Matsya fishing before too long (I leveled my pocket account's RDM a while ago), so I'll get some data from Cave Cherax when I get back around to it. I'll buy The Big One too I guess, even though it appears to me as an expensive storage +1.

    Fishing noob

    Dear all,

    Fish noob here. wanted to know which area and bait I could use consistently, since I would not like changing baits and all that hassle. I would just want to camp in a place and spam Fishing.

    Also, would not mind buying an Lu shang rod since I got the extra gil to spare.

    Thanks in advance.

    Wow. You're that lazy to attempt to read the guide? It's quite straight forward.

    It seems cooking is the only craft that gives you decent money back without the need of insane luck (not to say other crafts dont have profits, but they rely mostly heavily on HQing shit)

    After you get to 71 off C-Fish whats the best way to skill up? Not planing to buy a Lu Shangs for 7 lvls. hardly seems worth the gil lol.

    Is there another *To small* I can catch or just hit up squids/Black soles?

    Can I fish Hakuryus as soon as I get an Ebisu? Basically, can I fish them at 78.
